A Selfish Request

But he had no time to wonder about these things, as a massive explosion rocked the western side of the Bastion. Astaroth's head snapped in that direction, as he started running again.

'What the hell is he fighting to be making this kind of ruckus?' he asked back.

'One creature that answered his challenge was more of an opponent he was expecting, I think.'

Astaroth grumbled at that response.

'I knew he shouldn't have done that,' he grumbled mentally.

There was nothing he could do about it now, except help the fight end sooner. If they brought it up a notch, Astaroth was scared that Leon would blow up their newly reconstructed buildings, and possibly the base.
