Inside the realm, Cael and Junior were still adjusting to the dense mana.
The mana still pressed against their skin. The gravity still weighed on their limbs.
Junior was still pale, but at least now he could breathe without feeling like his lungs were being crushed.
Then Cael felt it.
A heaviness behind his eyes. A dull fog was settling over his thoughts.
'Sleepy.'
He hadn't slept for more than a day. The walk from Rainfall Forest to District Usha. Breaking the Sealing Formation, descent into the realm.
All of it had kept him going non-stop. But now, with nothing left to do but wait, exhaustion was catching up.
He turned to his clones, and he spoke.
"Stay guard, wake me if anything happens."
The Frostflame and Black Lightning Clones nodded.
Cael looked around for a place to rest. Then he found a tree branch that was good enough for him to sleep on, and the leaves above formed a natural canopy.
He sat down and leaned on the tree trunk.
