Moments before the fight began, Snakey and her group encountered a rarely seen figure. To many new demons, he was more myth than reality, known only by his name at the top of the rankings.
He was the top ranker and the lord of the Blight Castle.
"Damn it! Don't tell me he's after the higher demon too," the lower demons panicked. As a higher demon himself, it made sense that the lord of the Blight Castle would be searching for the other higher demon.
Noticing the trembling demons, the lord of the Blight Castle smiled. "Little ones, lead me to the hound, and I promise you a generous reward."
"H-he's with Goliath in the ruins," Snakey stuttered, pointing behind her.
"Thank you," the lord of the Blight Castle said softly, his form flickering as he shot off toward the direction Snakey had indicated.
