"So, the problem has been dealt with?"
A man with ashen skin and bright red eyes sat atop a strange reptilian beast. The Mana around the man was so profound that it could be vaguely seen with an untrained eye.
"The explosion was much more concentrated than I had anticipated. I would be surprised if any living creature within two or three miles survived, sire."
Draug pulled his beast up beside his master's. He stared up in awe at the horned man beside him.
"I've told you to stop calling me that. I am but a soldier in the lord's army," Barbas replied. "Did you confirm their deaths?"
Draug hesitated, "Well... no."
Barbas cut his eyes at the mummified figure beside him.
"Tch! No matter, that was but a small piece of a much larger puzzle. Whether or not he's alive shouldn't affect our plans."
