The news team from the Global Broadcast Center had finally passed through the wall of water and entered Stage Two, and as soon as they saw the sky and land floating far below them, the anchor woman gasped with wide eyes, her voice already picking up energy like she knew this was the biggest scoop of the decade.
"Camera is back!" the cameraman shouted, adjusting his headset and tapping buttons quickly. The signal reconnected.
"Fix the angle! Point it now—point it at the Celestial Guild! Hurry!" the anchor ordered, her heart pounding from both excitement and pressure.
The camera lens focused and zoomed in on the guild floating midair, held by wind magic, and in that moment, the anchor spoke into her mic with the practiced calm of a pro, but the thrill in her tone couldn't be hidden.
"Reporting live from inside Stage Two… Yes, you heard me right, we have entered the second stage of the global quest, and what we are seeing is truly—unbelievable!"
