Manic of Splurt

In his wildest dreams, Splurt never imagined that the conservative old Oleg would bring the "Blaze Steed" to the battlefield.

That was the coveted "Secret Saber: Blaze Steed" he longed for!

— (There can be no mistake... those sinister flames... that blade hot enough to slice through iron armor...)

Splurt inserted his finger into his mouth, gnawing on it like a madman.

Since the "Blaze Steed" had appeared, there was no need to capture hostages to threaten Oleg any longer; all that remained was to seize the "Blaze Steed" for himself!

Splurt's strategy suddenly simplified; he had originally planned to abduct that young fox-girl named Emilia, who was said to be regarded as a granddaughter by Oleg.

Now, seizing the blade was precisely what Splurt enjoyed!

"You've worked hard, Serpent King; rest now."

With a wave of his wand, Splurt dismissed the Ash Serpent, conserving his magic energy.
