To reveal a large broken castle in the distance wrapped around the seated existence and his army of skeletons. Once Ryuji and his party broke through the red mist. The walls and ramparts lifted, carrying the archers and mages to a safe height.

Ryuji's blue eyes focused on the skeletal archers. Their pale arms draw their bows atop the walls.

'I don't like this... He feels dangerous.'

"Paul... we need to prepare," Ryuji muttered before feeling a kind of coercion. His gaze returned to the seated monster, its deep, empty eyes burning with a blue flame. "That thing won't be easy to defeat."
