### Summary
The confrontation within the temple has concluded with a partial victory for the protagonists, as both Leslie and the High Priest survived Dowager Empress Medea’s deadly trap. While the "sealed evil"—a nightmare disease—was not fully unleashed, Medea’s scheme appears to be advancing as planned, evidenced by her unshaken, smug demeanor. This has provoked an overwhelmingly hostile reader response, with a torrent of comments expressing visceral hatred for Medea and demanding her immediate, violent death. This animosity is matched by a growing frustration with the heroes' perceived inaction and strategic failures. Readers are questioning why the powerful Salvator family and the weak-willed Emperor do not simply assassinate Medea to neutralize the ongoing threat to the empire. There is also a current of disappointment regarding Leslie, who, despite her training, was once again paralyzed by her trauma and unable to utilize her shadow magic effectively. Although the immediate disaster was averted, the larger political conspiracy continues to unfold, with Medea remaining a triumphant and infuriatingly untouchable antagonist.
