After that "intense battle" against the Lich and after obtaining a new Demonic Weapon, Elayne walked back to her family and friends, who greeted her with relieved smiles, it seemed the job here was finally done, and it was already getting dark too, so it was time to go back to the nearby village.
"So it turns out the Demon King of Death was behind this!" Rita said. "But how did that bastard even get in here?"
"When I fought that Lich he said something about not just being able to create Gates in Earth, but also in places connected to it… He also said his King had grown stronger," Elayne said, rubbing her chin while they rode over the back of her divine beasts.
"Wait, what? Does that mean that he became so strong he can now create gates here?!" Jenny asked angrily.
