Mark and Arit were currently inside one of the Angel strongholds west of the Angel continent. The stronghold had been occupied by more than fifty angel soldiers, as well as a few servants and civilians, but Mark easily killed all of the angel soldiers and gave the civilians a chance to either fight him or run away. All the civilians escaped into the night, and Mark took over the stronghold.
"I didn't think things would get out of hand so quickly. Are you sure this is the right way to handle things, Mark? It might backfire and make both sides hate each other even more."
Arit walked out from the bathroom in the room they were sharing and spoke to Mark while drying her hair. There was an injury on Arit's right hip from when Mildred had attacked her earlier and when Arit saw it in the mirror, she swore that Mildred would pay for it. The wound was already healing due to Arit's high constitution as part Anima, but it was her pride that was more hurt.
