章 241: The Clash.

He stays in one of the fortresses in the domain of high-rank demons and he would be willing to take Aeternus there. But anything can happen on the way there. Any unfortunate event can befall Aeternus and render him unable to reach the fortress. Unfortunate things happen in the abyss plane every time.
