Some time before Jeremy's return, on the human side…
The two imperial consuls who had approached Jeremy due to Prish's destructive aura returned to the human side with tired, afflicted, and resigned faces.
Their gazes were hollow, as if hope had been carved out of them with a rusted blade.
This was because, after speaking first with Jeremy and then with Cambela, they understood several things.
They were useless, expendable pawns.
But only in their 'alive' state. Otherwise, they would be quite useful.
At first, the duo did not quite understand what Cambela meant, but after looking around, they got it.
They were literally surrounded by dead beings, so…
Their confidence in survival had just vanished.
And so, after returning to the human side and telling the others everything, the place became like a wake.
You could have heard a pin drop.
"So... are we dead? Good to know..."
