Lyle and Alianna's destination was naturally to return to the Black Abyss Arena. At this time, the Grand Battle had already entered its heated stage, making Black Abyss Arena the center of the city's revelry.
"Defenders, charge!"
"In the name of nature!"
"Fight for hell!"
"For next month's research funding, for a hundred thousand Oliou!"
"Die, trash Liches!"
All sorts of roars could be heard by Lyle from outside the arena, reminiscent of watching the World Cup.
Since he didn't have to compete, Lyle developed a great interest in the battle, pulling Alianna toward the stand where Andrey the Lich was.
"You're back, Mr. Plague Doctor."
"Peace, Mr. Plague Doctor."
Lyle greeted his Lich colleagues cheerfully, pulling Alianna back to their original seats, only to find that the seats he and the other eight had occupied were now all empty.
