Meanwhile, Nolan, Waze, Celia, Linda, Lyra, and Damian sat comfortably inside the royal carriage.
"Wow… this carriage is even—fantastic," Celia said, eyes wide. "It looks even more gorgeous than the last one we entered."
"Yes, it really is," Linda added, her voice filled with awe. "It's incredible. And… Master, it was truly an honor to witness what you're capable of. You can reduce time… and as much as you like. But… you told them it was a one-time skill, right?"
Lyra tilted her head, smiling faintly. "Oh, yes. I just said that. They might not believe it… or they might have a problem. But honestly, I'm the one who destroyed that city. I could have defeated the demon without it—just a single punch, if I wanted to."
Damian's eyes sparkled with admiration. "Wow… you're so impressive. I'm willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
Nolan smiled softly at him.
"I'm going to get stronger so I can be by your side," Linda said earnestly.
