The Shadow Emperor said, "We do not need these; consider them gifts to Nora... After all, our homeland is littered with such spoils."
Heaven and earth fell silent.
Vicna also returned to normal, his face pale. With his current realm, wielding the power of Nora's Dark Side each time demands his utmost strength.
The council's mighty ones gathered at his side.
"Are you all right, Vicna?"
"I'm fine. I just need some rest, and I'll be well again."
"It was all thanks to you just now, otherwise victory in this battle would have been too difficult. They even deployed the Four Great Demon Lords—clearly intending to wipe out Nora in short order."
The Wind Empress smiled and said:
"What a glorious fight this was! We slew six Nightmare Monarchs in a row—such a feat is exceedingly rare in the river of history."
"Indeed, and they lost countless legions besides. Deploying new troops will waste much of their time, perhaps even making them give up the invasion altogether."
