"The ancient remnant vanished?" Dread Duchess's frown worsened the moment Ace revealed the 'truth' about the ancient remnant.
Ace knew that his explanation was ridiculous, but this was the only way to make sense of everything. He also knew that Dread Duchess had no way to confirm the authenticity except by personally investigating the mines, and even then, she wouldn't find anything.
"Indeed, your highness, the moment I used the item given to me by my master, the ancient remnant vanished right in front of my eyes, and the next thing I realized, I was very close to the entrance of the mines, and in front of him was an extremely powerful Abyssal Beast," Ace told with a hint of lingering fear like someone who had been traumatized.
"If I hadn't used the method leave behind my master to preserve my life, I wouldn't have escaped so easily, and I couldn't thank you enough for the talisman you granted me because it also played a vital part in survival."
