Mennena knew that her plans could finally continue after breaking free from that prison. She just needed some time to quickly recover to her full strength.
Indeed, despite her elation, she knew she had to remain hidden. Her body was not yet fully recovered, and revealing her presence too soon would alert the Immortals of this realm. She needed time to regain control over her powers.
"???... ???... ???...
The dungeon's silence was broken only by the distant drip of water and the occasional scurrying of rats.
'Hu~'
Mennena took a deep breath as she had to calm her excited heart. She knew that the Paragons, those who had wronged her, would pay dearly for their actions. However, she had already waited a long time, and she could not make a mess right now.
"Paragons... You fools... I will have my revenge soon," Mennena vowed. Her voice echoed through the dungeon as she vanished into the shadows once more.
Her master plan was just beginning, and she would stop at nothing to reclaim her power and exact her vengeance.

Two months had quickly passed, and during this time, Jin and the others were able to complete all the things they needed in order to open a path to allow the previous prisoners of the Celestial Prison Realm to enter the Human Realm.
This matter was huge since they would certainly be suppressed by the Will of the Realm once they entered.
Furthermore, they could only let the others realize that they were planning to let hundreds of non-humans live peacefully in this realm. After all, this would be a huge change not just in their society but in the whole continent.
Although there were other races living here on the continent through various summoning attempts by numerous Arcanists throughout the century, their numbers were small and would rarely affect a society. A few Vampires, Sprites, Ghouls, or mutated animals were simply sources of materials and weren't a real threat to the world of Arcanists.
However, Vale's group would be bringing hundreds of beastfolks, members of the shadow race, and other mystical races, including Angels and an Asura!
No matter what, they would have to prepare for numerous things before accepting them in their territory. This was the reason why it took them two months to prepare.
Sreas, the Asura, had been in the Human Realm for four days now. The Asura race, known for their four arms and the third eye on their foreheads, were masters of the Dark Arts and nearly immune to all forms of magic.
Sreas had been transported here along with many other beings from various races, and everyone of them had received blood extraction to be studied by the Alchemists of this world. None of them rejected this since they mentioned how it would also help to cure them if they obtained a disease after entering this world.
In any case, it wasn't too important to them... After being imprisoned in the same place for many years, having their blood extracted was not a big deal since they could finally live outside that Tower and experience the heat of the sun and fresh air and even talk to others.
The atmosphere of this world, rich with Arcane Energy, was something Sreas had quickly grown accustomed to.
He found the energy invigorating, a stark contrast to the oppressive environment of the Celestial Prison Realm.
However, he was confined to a 150-kilometer radius around the Shadow Immortal's castle, a limitation he found somewhat frustrating. However, it was quite understandable after being told that there are other Immortals in this world, and these Immortals may not like their presence or they might just straight up put them in a dissection table.
That was definitely a situation none of them wanted to be in. After all, they just regained their freedom...
"At least the Shadow Immortal promised that the confinement wouldn't last for a long time." Sreas muttered to himself.
After giving this much hope, Sreas decided to accept his fate and made the most of his time, exploring the lush forests and various places like lakes and caves within his allowed range. He had even encountered various Evil Creatures and it was quite an interesting experience.
"I'm liking this place... It's a pity I'm the only Asura left." Sreas muttered with a helpless smile on his face.
The Arcane Energy in the air seemed to resonate with his very being, accelerating his recovery. He had already regained more than half of his strength, a fact that did not go unnoticed by those around him.
One afternoon, as Sreas was meditating near a tranquil stream, Chad, the Half-Dragon, approached him with a broad grin.
Chad had been part of the team that had freed Sreas from the Celestial Prison Realm, and the two had developed a mutual respect for each other's abilities.
"Sreas, how about a practice match?" Chad suggested, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Sreas opened his third eye, assessing Chad's energy levels. "I have recovered more than half of my strength already... Are you sure?" he asked, his voice a deep rumble.
"Hahaha... That's better! Let's go to that hill and have a match!" Chad replied with excitement...
Without waiting for a response, he burst into a sprint, his powerful legs propelling him towards a nearby hill.
Sreas stood up, stretching his four arms and feeling the dark energy coursing through his veins.
A practice match with Chad would be an excellent way to test his regained strength. With a swift motion, he followed Chad; his movements were swift, and he didn't lose out compared to Chad's speed.
As they reached the hill, the two warriors faced each other, and the temperature in the surroundings immediately drop.
The hilltop was a perfect battleground, offering a wide, open space surrounded by dense
forest.
Soon, Chad's dragon scales glinted in the sunlight, while Sreas's dark aura seemed to absorb the light around him.
"Let's see what you've got, Half-Dragon," Sreas said, a rare smile playing on his lips.
"Bring it on, Asura," Chad replied, his eyes narrowing in focus.
