Under Karl's order, the expedition members had split into three teams. Two of them would search for the Worm Statue within the den.
Breaking the Worm Statue would be their priority to return to the outer world, back to their village. They would also do damage control for the upcoming raid two years later.
The village would be in ruins if Raml-d'ah, a giant mutated demon worm towering over 20 meters, were released into the outer world.
The last team, led by Karl, would fight against Raml-d'ah. Naturally, Brand and Ruby were part of this team.
There, Ruby was still casting her spell, while Brand was…
"Where was Brand…?"
Karl looked around, searching for Brand, but he was nowhere to be seen.
—BAM!
The sound was close. Karl stopped searching for Brand and turned toward the source of the noise.
There, he found a dark humanoid figure that had rammed into Raml-d'ah, towering at a height of 20 meters.
"What the… where did this come from?"
