The moment Kalina emptied almost everything inside her storage ring before Aksai...
She had unknowingly handed over the greatest weapon capable of breaking the current siege.
Had she known the truth, she would never have done something so foolish.
It was better for her Natal Artifact to get affected by the pill toxin's impurities than it being lost by her. After all, the impurities could have been eliminated provided enough time and resources were available. It was just more work.
For a brief instant, regret flashed through Kalina's heart.
All of this had begun because she wanted to pressure the Kainaat by dragging his reputation down and bringing Great Elder Runiye's faction into the matter.
She had hoped to place political pressure upon him. Instead, she had personally handed her belongings to a shameless thief.
A thief who cared nothing about reputation.
Nothing about dignity.
Nothing about the pride expected from powerful cultivators.
