Dexter's body materialized inside the house on their personal island. After cracking his neck and routinely checking his inventory post-resurrection, he smirked at the thought that he had nothing left — not even the rolled dry leaf.
Transforming one bracer into a Summoner Staff and the other into a Black Cloak (which could alter his appearance), he immediately summoned a Tier VIII Spectral Panther and rode off.
After using the Traveller, Dexter headed back to the coliseum to check on Stella, who had been left inside the arena.
"She should be able to fight on her own now," he thought. "I gave her all the equipment she'd need to survive the arena without me. Worst case, if she dies, I'll just resurrect her and switch kingdoms."
Resurrection after a fight in the Obsidian League was permitted, but with strict rules: the deceased had to surrender all their coins and items to the winning participant, provided someone was there to revive them. Otherwise, they would perish permanently.
