章 1026: Hopeless

Erika and Elizabeth slowly opened their eyes, finding themselves resting over the rubble where the castle was once located. As they drowsily opened their eyes, they remembered hearing of Mammon's last scream, his death!

Blake managed to defeat him, and with the Archdemon behind everything finally gone, the citizens should have returned to normal. The girls, so exhausted after spending their entire energy resources, slowly stood up, sighing in relief.

"Is it finally over, this nightmare?" wondered Elizabeth.

"I-it should!" Erika nodded. "Where's Blake though?"

As the girls looked around, suddenly…

The sound of countless gigantic footsteps approaching reverberated, making the ground tremble rapidly. They quickly felt that something was wrong and looked at the distance.

"E-Eh?"
