"Let's do it then," John said after thinking it all over as the two started to discuss the details of the plan.

Some time later, Laia, Kirri, and John stood together, just out of the notice of the Deathshroud Spider.

"Are you sure you'll be able to make it after us?" Laia asked, her voice tinged with slight concern.

"I am," John replied confidently. "Just focus on getting through the portal. Kirii will take you there safetly. I'll be fine."

Laia stared at John for a moment, her lips pursed slightly, but nodded her head in agreement after a brief hesitation.

"Mhm…are you ready?" she asked.

"I am," John replied firmly, prepared for the battle to come.

Laia breathed in deeply and closed her eyes, while her right hand moved towards her chest. Her fingers touched her chest just below her collarbone, at which point an incredibly profound aura began to emanate from her.
