"It's clean… But I also want to see the Immortal Tower."
Of course, Vale also wanted it to be checked just to make sure. Thankfully, Kaela confirmed that the tower was indeed legitimate and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
After briefing Vale about the Immortal Tower, he nodded. "Then let's do it."

Soon, the scroll vanished in a flash of light, absorbed into the soul plane.
Seven exhaled as he could finally leave this Shadow Realm for another stable but lower realm… He was visibly relieved. "Thank you."
Kaela gave him a nod, though her eyes remained wary.
