Lind felt like it was much faster going back to the surface than descending. At least it was not as boring as the female Fiend sent choice words at him as he dragged her behind him.
He cared little for her comfort but he still needed her alive. He wanted to see what would happen when the True Lords saw her.
At the back of his mind was a nagging question. True Lords should be protected by Heaven and Earth but that no longer seemed to be the case in the trial.
They no longer had their rings and their minds were easily affected. In the Celestial Fields 4th layer, he had seen both the tortoise and phoenix True Lords spar mentally but neither were able to truly affect the other.
It was more about detection than suffering from a skill or Art.
His own experience had been clear that only his own heart demons or internal issues could affect his mind. External threats were sealed. It was obvious why.
