Chapter 683: Reunion
Along with his companions, Allen welcomed Shea, who had undergone trials at the temple of the Beast God Garm in the Paradise of Primordial Beasts. The trial took a full month, bringing them into early August. Allen was just two months away from turning 17.

Allen and his companions used the Bird A's Awakened Skill [Homing Instinct] to teleport to their next destination, one of the ghost swarms in Shandar.
The S Rank Beast Summon, which had been summoned to intimidate the Beast God Garm, was returned to its card. Likewise, the Dragon King Matildora and Haku, who had come to impose their presence, circled in the air before slowly landing on the cloud-like ground.
"This is quite the fortress... I see, it has changed significantly."
Shea remarked at their arrival.After a long absence, Shea stood on the stone floor within the fortress, gazing up at the towering outer walls that extended in all directions and reached far into the sky. The walls, appearing as if they had been carved from a single slab of rock, stretched 50 meters high and potentially kilometers wide, a feat achieved through the power of earth spirits.
The fortress walls stretched endlessly across Shea's field of vision, turning sharply at certain points. Surrounding her on all sides, the colossal walls formed a complete enclosure.
Unlike in the Paradise of Primordial Beasts, the ground was made of clouds, and dragonkin could be seen emerging from buildings nestled within the fortress. Shea quickly realized that Allen had teleported them to the fortress constructed in front of the ghost swarm in Shandar.
However, unlike the hastily constructed, modest fortress near the ghost swarm where they had previously recruited Grahan, this one was entirely different. The earlier fortress was built primarily from wood and had a makeshift appearance, lacking in grandeur or permanence.
