Despite their desperate efforts, the three Kobolds were powerless against Lux's two powerful Named Creatures, who specialized in dealing massive damage to their enemies.
Lux didn't even feel a shred of guilt as the three Kobolds died one after the other. This Siege Battle could only have one winner in the end, and he decided that it would be himself.
The moment the Stronghold Core got destroyed, Lux found himself standing on one of the floating islands inside the Inner Grotto.
The Kobolds were also on one of the islands, and all of them glared towards Lux's direction, especially Cadmus, who kept clenching and unclenching his fists out of anger.
Just as Lux was thinking about how he could fix the tension between him and the Kobolds, an adorable voice reached his ears which made him look up in the sky.
"Pa!"
Eiko, who was perched on top of Keoza's head, jumped towards Lux while giggling.
