Chapter 524: Reconnaissance

My Protective Fang swished through the thick undergrowth, slicing through the various ferns and vines that dangled in our way as Anput and I took point, relying on our noses to sniff out where the largest concentration of enemies were so that we could investigate the happenings of this island 'paradise'.

The Marquess stayed back at the Gate, lounging around and talking quietly with Nirinia, who was to act as our 'reserve' for when we deemed it necessary to have someone of her caliber aid us with this trial of ours.

Sla'Caligo also stayed back after the Marquess threatened her, making the Arch Fiend pout as she sent us off with a wave, her pink eyes trailing behind us as we left the protection of the beach behind.
