Jas and Ariel managed to get close to the gate after so ti and were able to see the beings in the vicinity with their own eyes.
Jas could see Nesis and the others with his own eyes, and again Lady Nyx must have expended enormous energy to send Nesis below the 75th floor.
This was good news. Jas was able to see his mate again after a long ti, and the war seed to be over.
Still, there were many casualties, Jas could clearly see the bodies being carried away, the sound of crying seed to have started again, and everyone's sad voices were ringing in his ears.
This was good news, as all the monsters in the portal had been emptied, and the portal itself was completely closed.
As Jas and Ariel approached the campsite, familiar faces began to appear. Datura, Theseus, and many others seed to have co to this floor to help. The Church of the Night's presence on this floor seed to have been established, thanks to the help and other things that the Church of the Night had done.
The priests and nuns of the church, with great effort, were able to bring people who had even lost limbs to them.
Jas was very proud of the church's work. The church had done such a good job that it was best to treat each of them with respect. He had seen so priests and nuns exhaust themselves to the point of fainting in just two hours.
That's how loyal Jas' helpers were. They were incredible beings that wanted to help others even in a situation like this. Losing all of their mana and holy power only to heal people who didn't even know them. Just like real heroes.
When Jas entered the main tent, they saw Eve and the nobles of the empire trying to sit quietly and rest.
When the group saw Jas and Ariel with him, each of their eyes were filled with brightness. Eve, in particular, was so relieved to see Jas standing tall in front of her that there was no way to explain it.
"You managed to kill the ancient giant..." Eve suddenly said, and Jas, hearing this, pointed to Ariel next to him and said, "I had a lot of help."
Turning to Ariel, she must have been embarrassed because she grabbed Jas's cheek and pulled him away before saying, "We couldn't have done anything if you hadn't put the ancient giant in that state."
The depth of the relationship between the two was recognisable even to the weary nobles watching them, they really did look like a mother and son and seeing this relationship seed to tell them that the war was indeed over.
"Thank you master Umbra, Madam Ariel...we don't know what we would have done without you..." Eve suddenly said.
Hearing these words, Jas smiled and then ca to the front of Eve and gently knelt on his knees.
"It was a great honour to fight alongside a great wizard like you, Lady Eve. You did not win this war because of us. The sacrifices made, the effort expended, the lives lost. Not just Umbra and Ariel, but Eve, Yorhun and so many others. Look up and realise what a wonderful empress you are."
When Jas uttered these words, Eve's eyes really teared up. Anyone who saw Eve in this state could see how much pressure she was under. After all, Eve was the only empress of an entire floor, an entire empire, she had no mate to share the pride and responsibility, she had a people and hundreds of cities to protect.
Eve had beco today, perhaps, one of the greatest empresses of the White Empire.
Hearing these words, Eve was about to say a few words when the curtain of the tent suddenly opened and soone entered, much to the delight of Ariel and Jas.
Nesis walked in, wearing her silver crystal armour, her silver hair turning white like the surface of the moon and her eyes shining as if she had seen soone she cared about, this woman seed to be very worried about her husband and with good reason.
"Hey Ne, thanks for taking care of business," Jas said, and with that, he was about to finish the sentence "I mis-" when suddenly he saw Nesis pressed against his lips.
Jas had missed the feeling so much that he let go, choosing to close his eyes and, although slightly uncomfortable, he wrapped himself in Nesis' armour.
The kiss between Jas and his wife Nesis lasted for almost twenty seconds before the couple finally managed to pull apart, but not before the beautiful Nesis hugged Jas tightly.
Jas looked at Ariel, who was watching them and shook his head, and he managed to get a good look at the smile on Ariel's face.
"Ne, can you calm down a bit?" Jas said, and as soon as he said that, "How do you expect to calm down? A week! I haven't been able to watch you or know what you're going through for a week, it's been eating up inside, this wasn't the 9th floor and the passage didn't open before the floor was locked, I couldn't co to help you, I'm sorry."
Jas was strangely embarrassed as if he hadn't given much thought to his wife Nesis' feelings.
"I love you too Ne, I'm sorry," Jas said and then gestured to Eve and the others and said, "Eve is one of the few people who has helped live so far, I was really dying."
Nesis looked at Eve maliciously for a few seconds, like a proud woman, and then put her pride aside and said, "Thank you, I will never forget your kindness," like a wife.
Jas nodded happily, then stepped out of the tent and called Nesis to him.
When the beautiful Nesis ca out of the tent and approached Jas curiously, Jas gently said, "We are gonna have a good ti this night."
After these words, Nesis, who smiled, approached her husband and then kissed him on the cheek and said, "As you wish my love."
