Chapter 151: VOL 2 - 96: It seems this is the place.
By the time midnight arrived, Zoe suddenly opened her eyes and tightened her grip on the staff in her hands, which she had not let go of even while sleeping, allowing her to release a small sigh. At that moment, Liliana and Elara also woke up, stretching lazily, visibly rested and energetic.
