Ellen's fever got only worse and Arthur didn't know what to do. After resting for a bit, Arthur carried her on his back and headed deeper into the tunnel. He had to keep her warm so fire surrounded them both.
He traveled away from the desert as he used his detection rune. Like a normal awakener, also known as superhumans, Ellen started recovering after a while. Her breathing became more stable as her fever subsided.
As he was walking and replenishing his mana, Arthur felt his skin itch. He realized that it has been a day already since he used the artifact. Taking it from his subspace, Arthur poured mana into it and his face was back as Alexie Linan.
As his foot left marks on the frozen rocks, Arthur pondered what he should do. The Ender's minion has fled and the guardian of Rayxin knows of his identity. However, that left with a certain doubt.
