“You’re really doing this, Bato?”

Inside a collapsed canyon cave that hadn’t seen anyone step inside it for hundreds of years, there was a gloomy research lab. In the center of this lab, lit by the faint illumination hanging from the ceiling, Marchosias questioned his old friend.

In front of him was a man restrained to a bed. The man’s features made it impossible to tell whether he was young or old, and he had slit-thin eyes. His hair was tied back and somewhat long for a man, and he was currently topless.

This was an operating table. Not only that, but the surgery they were attempting had an extremely low success rate.

“Faltering at this stage, Marchosias?” the man said with a bitter smile. “You and I are the only ones with the aptitude for this. Besides, you’re the boss here. We can’t let you do something so dangerous, so this is the only choice.”

It was precisely because he knew this—and in all likelihood, he’d read this far immediately after the battle between Zagan and Shere Khan—that he’d joined Marchosias’s side.

“Lady Alshiera told us something,” he continued with a satisfied look. “No matter how we were created, we are now living humans.”

He paused there, then smiled.

“She has more than enough of a reason to absolutely detest me. And yet, she told me it was okay for me to keep living.”

Marchosias felt his expression softening. It was just like that little sister of his to say such a thing.

“That’s why I’m not doing this for you,” Bato continued. “I’m giving my life for her, so there’s no need to fret over me, my good friend.”

“You still see me that way?” Marchosias asked, his eyes widening behind his round glasses.

In his thousand years of life, this man was the only one who’d ever referred to him that way.

“Well, you’ve never had any friends, after all,” Bato added teasingly.

“Don’t go there…” Marchosias mumbled with an annoyed sigh.

“I don’t plan for things to end here,” Bato said, smiling. “So please get it done quickly. There isn’t much time left.”

“I’m in your debt…my good friend.”

Several hours later, only one man walked out of the gloomy cave. He leaned against the wall and slid to the ground.

“You better handle the rest, Eligor…”

After a while longer, when the man finally stood up and left, screams continued to echo from the cave.

“Archangel Salvarra has not only joined Lillqvist’s faction, but is even siding with Archdemon Zagan. What’s more, Archdemon Forneus’s successor, Thunder God Furfur, has become Zagan’s subordinate. There is no longer any force out there who can challenge him in a direct confrontation.”

In a tavern far away from Kianoides, a man spoke with an air of elegance. He wore a felt hat and a stylish jacket with a crimson handkerchief in his breast pocket. Smoke rose from the rolled tobacco between his fingers, and each and every one of his gestures seemed overly theatrical. If not for his unseasonable thick coat, he seemed like the type of man who would easily attract the opposite sex.
