"Instead, I want to apologize to you all. It was my job as the City Lady to prepare for such an outcome."

Morgan didn't expect that the first thing Cassarae would want to do was this, but when he looked at her now... he felt his own Favorability increasing despite himself. A heavy weight that had been on his chest was slowly put down.

"Now that we've gotten the unfortunate stuff out of the way, I think I should also shed some light on some things. While we've suffered a blow, we've also gained a lot.

"There are three troll corpses, and we've also managed to gather several powerful treasures from the battlefield as well..."

Cassarae began to explain their gains, livening up the mood. Sylas noticed that she didn't mention using the humans for their Genes and only did so with the trolls, but he felt that this was only to be expected.

Sylas didn't expect that everyone would be as nonchalant about using the Genes of their fellow humans for improvement.

"City Lady, if I may say something," just when Cassarae was about to get into the details of the end of the Trial, Gregory spoke up.

"Yes?"

"I do know a little bit about the end of the Trial."

Cassarae was pleasantly surprised. "Please."

It wasn't just Cassarae either; everyone was curious.

"But from my layman's understanding, in order to succeed in the final step, the Aether Plane and your planet need a stabilizing force of some kind, while you also need to combat destabilizing forces.

"These destabilizing forces are often events of the system... Dungeons, Quicktime Events, Quests, even powerful extinct creatures... the more of these remain unresolved, the stronger your stabilizing force needs to be to counter them.

"That is everything I know."

Everyone fell into their thoughts, somewhat understanding and somewhat not.

Gregory still hadn't explained what a stabilizing force was...

And the destabilizing forces, how many of them did they need to clear? It couldn't be them all, right?

And why were the extinct creatures counted? That felt odd.

Sylas wasn't sure what to think either. He felt that they were missing too much information, but once again... it was impossible for him to ask the Madness Key about the situation unless he wanted to get slapped with another Hunger spike.

"Thank you, Gregory," Cassarae smiled, feeling that it was good that she had invited him. "In that case, I believe our best choice is to attempt to meet on the other side, no?"

She let the question hang in the air. Everyone looked toward one another and eventually nodded.

Sylas frowned. This might be difficult for him. Would the Browns let him leave? And if he did so, what would it mean for his family? Unless he was strong enough to not worry about the Browns, or the Grimblades as they called themselves now, it was impossible for him to make such a choice.

As strong as Alex had been, or even Lauren, neither had been on the top ten list, while it was a Grimblade that firmly held that top place.
