Let's rewind time to a few hours before Alex fought Lucius.
Inside the dungeon where Elseria, Freya, and Armstrong trapped Zero and his followers.
''Armstrong must be in a pretty bad shape for him not to have completely recovered until now. How he's doing?"
''He is fine. He just a couple of hours to fully recover. That man's flame is too weird; even a paladin like Armstrong was helpless before him; he could heal his injuries even with the strongest healing art. We must eliminate this threat. He has not matured yet, but he is still this scary.'' Freya sighed, recalling how strong Zero, Incursio's big brother was; she felt chill. A sensation she rarely had; not many make her feel that sensation.
''Relax, I'll take care of him soon. I'm just waiting for something.'' Elseria said with a smile, she had been fiddling with a communication stone for a while, and her behavior started to annoy Freya.
