While the fighting between Noah's creatures and God's warriors continued, the rest of the battlefield had become just as chaotic.
The six S-rankers who had accompanied the expedition were supposed to represent the greatest fighting strength against demons that Ashenveil could muster outside the Church. Yet most of them had already been forced to concentrate their efforts on a single opponent.
Bolas.
Thalric's orders had been clear. The dragon was too dangerous to leave unchecked, and with so few people capable of surviving a direct confrontation against him, the S-rankers had little choice but to cooperate.
But even if Thalric had wanted to leave the dragon to the others, Bolas had no intention of allowing him to do so.
The dragon hadn't called him by name, nor had he made any declaration about seeking vengeance. Yet the moment the two sides began fighting, there was no mistaking who Bolas intended to kill.
