And then the scene finally ended, and everything returned to normal.

For a moment, no one said anything.

Everyone was simply too confused by what they had just seen. The entire scene had left them with more questions than answers, and even those who had been watching carefully were having trouble understanding what they had actually witnessed.

After a brief silence, Aurelius finally looked towards Audrey and asked,

"Is what we just saw really true, or was it simply a fake illusion created by you to help the Saintness, Cassie?"

Everyone looked towards Aurelius after hearing his question, especially Lucas. However, before Lucas could say anything further, Aurelius continued speaking.

"It’s not that we don’t believe you, but what we just saw is simply too hard to believe without any solid proof. A guy attacking a facility filled with numerous bodies... and maybe he really did have something like that mad scientist, but then there was all that talk about the Death Realm and Pre-Apotheosis. All of it seems fake."

He paused for a moment, his expression becoming more serious.

"And especially that last strike. It was so powerful that he even dies himself while also causing an injury to Saintness Cassie."

Aurelius’s gaze then moved towards Cassie’s arm.

"There is no proof that any of this is actually true and not simply a fake scene that you made up."

He paused again, allowing everyone to process what he had said before continuing.

"And then there is the vision about the destruction of the Continent that you were talking about with that being. You still haven’t told anyone about it. If it really concerns the lives of the entire Continent, then what exactly was that vision about?"

The atmosphere became noticeably heavier after Aurelius finished speaking.

Everyone looked towards Aurelius and then towards Audrey, waiting for her answer.

Audrey, however, remained completely calm. There was no nervousness on her face, nor did she appear surprised by Aurelius’s questions. She simply looked at everyone for a moment before finally speaking.

"It is all true."

Her words immediately caused the expressions of several people to change.Before anyone could say anything, Cassie spoke.

"I know it is very hard to believe all of that without any proof, but it is all true."Cassie then paused for a moment before continuing,"And I also have one proof of that."

Everyone turned towards Cassie, waiting to see the proof that would remove all of their doubts.

And then Cassie simply moved the time of her body backwards again. The injury that had been caused by Asher appeared on Cassie’s body once more, as if the wound had never been healed in the first place.

Cassie then looked at everyone and said, "Is that enough as proof that I am not lying, or do you need more?"

Everyone looked at the injury on Cassie’s body. There was no longer any doubt that what they had just seen was real.

The injury wasn’t some illusion created by Audrey, nor was it something that had been fabricated to make Cassie’s story more believable. Cassie herself had recreated the exact state of her body from that moment.

Aurelius’s expression became serious as he looked at the wound. "You really can’t heal that injury unless you use your time ability?"

His voice contained a hint of disbelief. Even after seeing the proof directly in front of him, it was still difficult for him to completely understand what kind of power could cause an injury that even an Immortal Rank like Cassie couldn’t naturally heal.

Before Cassie could say anything, Edward suddenly spoke. His voice carried a rare sense of amazement, as if even he had discovered something unexpected after observing the injury carefully.

"That injury is real. It can’t be healed, and it’s not even a physical injury."

Everyone’s attention immediately shifted towards Edward. Edward continued looking at Cassie’s injury as his expression remained calm, but there was a noticeable amount of interest in his eyes.

"It’s like someone just cut the entire concept of Saintness Cassie’s physical body."

He paused for a moment, as if trying to properly understand what he was sensing from the wound.

Then he continued, "It’s like that strike contained its own element, just like the other elements."

The moment Edward finished speaking, everyone became silent once again. Even Aurelius looked at Cassie and then back at Edward, trying to understand the meaning behind his words.

If what Edward was saying was true, then the Crimson Sword wasn’t simply a weapon with an unusually powerful attack. There was something fundamentally different about that strike.

Something that even an Immortal Rank couldn’t simply recover from through normal means.

Everyone looked at Edward with confusion on their faces, because what he had just said only made things even more confusing for everyone else.

Aurelius then looked at Edward for a moment, trying to understand exactly what he meant. After thinking about his words, he finally asked,

"So, what you mean to say is that the attack contained an element of its own? An element that could cut even the concept of the physical body of Saintness Cassie?"

Edward replied calmly, without changing his expression.

"It is like how the attacks of higher ranks contain a part of the will of the wielder that could harm higher-rank beings and attack their spirit body and soul. It is just like that."

Everyone remained silent for a moment.

The explanation didn’t make things any less shocking. If anything, it gave them an even clearer idea of just how unusual that attack had been.

Aurelius continued looking at Edward, his expression becoming more serious as he tried to understand the meaning behind his words.

"So, you mean to say that attack is just like an attack used by higher ranks, and even more higher ranks than Immortal Rank?"

Edward replied, "Yeah, that is what I think. That attack was something we could never perform, and maybe even a Saint Rank can’t perform."
