Selner was worried—just like everyone else around her.
Only a few minutes ago, the system had sent out a message. It warned them that Austin was in trouble.
They had been trapped inside this dungeon for five months now. In all that time, the system had never spoken like this before. That alone was enough to shake everyone to their core.
Many began to fear the worst.
Some whispered that Austin might have finally fallen… that maybe, in the end, the Demon Lord had won.
But Selner didn't believe that. No, she couldn't.
She knew Austin better than anyone. Losing wasn't something he did easily. At least, not in this kind of fight.
It wasn't a battle where he'd fall and die.
It was simple—he would either win or… surrender.
But surrendering?
That wasn't going to happen.
Not to Astaroth.
Selner had met that being before. Astaroth was strong, yes, but not enough to force Austin to his knees. Not enough to make him give up.
