The Swordsman Captain was helpless in the situation. They couldn't possibly use force against these citizens, which would definitely backfire hard.
The more they resisted and stopped them from leaving, the more likely they would rebel and demand to be freed.
Hence, the Swordsman Captain didn't bother to stop them from fleeing. Their prestige was long dampened by two repeated failures against Carmen.
While a stalemate seemed to have begun, Carmen heaved a sigh of relief.
'Phew, if only they knew I only have 1 Void Portal left.' She thought to herself.
Although she could traverse with Void Portals, she could only hold a maximum capacity of 5 portals. And to recharge them would take at least half an hour each.
Naturally, this was possible because she had upgraded the skill.
When she first obtained it, the maximum capacity was only 2, with a recharge duration of 5 hours.
However, that changed all of a sudden when she received some power from the Origin Fragment.
