Five minutes before the Giant Bird crashed into the sea…
'Master, we are in position,' Asmodeus reported. 'We can begin the operation anytime.'
'Good,' Lux replied. 'Orion, wait for my signal.'
'Yes, Master.'
The Jade Golem positioned itself on the side of the Skeleton Ship, preparing to jump off as soon as Lux gave it the signal.
From the start, the Half-Elf was worried that the members of Twilight Rain would use their flying mount to escape their pursuit if their ship was destroyed during the naval warfare.
This was why he still hadn't given Eiko the order to detonate the Bone Bombs that she had left on the Twilight Ship because they could still escape if they wanted to.
Now that the greatest threat had come willingly to him, the Half-Elf would be a fool to let this opportunity escape his grasp.
Seeing that the time was right, Lux gave the order to start the Operation Dead Bird, which would eliminate the Flying Mount once and for all.
