Lucian's new 'ally

On the other side of the continent, Peter, Lucian's newly found ally, known by his castle ID [Lone Wolf], looked at Lucian's invitation on his system dashboard and smiled.

"Finally, I can leave this hellhole. If I stayed a few more days, my corpse would probably be crawling with maggots."

Peter didn't hesitate to accept the invitation. As his castle was gradually covered by the teleportation array, it vanished from its original location.

In the Barren Plains, Lucian stood outside his castle, ready to welcome his new ally.

With a flash of light, a black castle covered in claw marks appeared in Lucian's view.

Lucian suddenly caught a whiff of a foul stench, the air filled with a nauseating odor.

"Oh, my esteemed ally, was your castle located in a garbage dump?"

Peter emerged from his castle, covering his nose.

When Peter and Lucian's eyes met, it was as if they were long-lost enemies. Their eyes turned red with inexplicable rage.
