2000. Showing Off Slime
"Here we go, all together." Walker looked around. Midnight, Onyx, Gil, Su, Remey, and Alice had gathered on the elemental rune teleportation formation. Beside them was the brilliant slime. Ebon would be coming behind them. He had to be hidden with the others who would be close behind or even within the party's shadows.
The first step to arriving was to show off their party as being alone and separating from the area near the embassy. This alone was something that was absolutely necessary right now.
By making it clear that the party would be alone, they could prove that the demons or any eyes on them related to the sin title holders right now, would be able to communicate this to them. It was a first step in setting their trap to capture and defeat Envy.
