Before moving further up, Lucien stilled himself. He had to know how the battlefield outside was faring.
Closing his eyes, he extended his will outward. At once, he could feel the connections with his pets.
Just then... Seiryu and Byakko's voices resonated in his mind.
Lucien had known they could communicate but hearing their voices directly struck with unusual clarity.
They directly told him what he wanted to hear even without him asking.
To summarize their words....
The legions of patrolling monsters were returning in force.
But Midas and Augustus had already stepped forward. They intercepted the onslaught with terrifying might. Their clash with the tide of returning monsters shook the earth itself.
On the other side, the battlefield roared like a living storm.
