As Elara stepped back into the real world, the same Black Suit was already waiting. The timid young woman nearly jumped when she saw Elara emerge.
"I-It's been less than an hour... and she's already back."
Moments before Elara's return, the Gate had already begun shrinking, a clear sign that its Core had been destroyed. Even so, seeing the person responsible calmly walk out of it was difficult to believe.
Over the coming hours, the shimmering entrance would continue shrinking until the connection to the Orc world disappeared completely.
"M-Miss Veyne..."
The Black Suit quickly straightened herself.
"Are we... alright to send in an extraction squad?"
There hadn't even been one waiting since nobody had expected a Gate of this scale to be cleared so quickly, especially not by a lone Titled. That was only a feat someone like Titan would be able to pull off.
Elara simply gave a small nod.
"Go ahead."
Before the woman could say anything else, Elara vanished.
Blink!
