Isha's sudden words dealt a heavy blow to Uffie's heart.
Initially, when she barely realized she might have mistakenly attacked a communicable residual shadow, Uffie tried to convince herself that it wasn't a big deal.
However, the more she pondered, the more it didn't feel right. How could there be a residual shadow in the dungeon that doesn't matter even if it's chased away? Everyone should have a purpose for appearing, right!
But unfortunately, the die had been cast. Fanen chose to see through it without mentioning it, so she also followed suit and didn't discuss it further.
Then, Isha's words directly broke the tacit balance everyone had maintained.
"I, uh, I..." Uffie stammered for a moment, then finally gave up and lowered her head, saying, "It was my foolishness that drove the White Mask away..."
Disheartened, the one who had always flaunted her prowess in front of everyone had made such an obvious mistake, and the shame was just too great.
