In the next moment, the chilling aura that had enveloped the entire Lake Heart Island receded like the tide.
The night sky was still clear, the moonlight still radiant.
Everything was exactly as it had been before, as if all that had just happened was merely an illusion.
Lynch let out a long, heavy sigh, the tension finally leaving his rigid back.
'Finally handled that.'
'Thanks to my quick thinking, I not only stopped my two mothers from meeting and fighting, but I even managed to turn a disaster into a blessing. The damage to my soul has been completely healed.'
'Tonight was... quite a thrill.'
Just then, Lynch jolted as a thought struck him.
'Wait... since Elegy's birth mother knows Lester, and she's a Demigod from the Netherworld, does that mean she might know the outcome of his journey to the Nether River? Does she know if he's dead or alive right now?'
'Why didn't I think to ask her just now?'
At this thought, Lynch sighed internally.
