While things on the side of the Maze Forest were going a little smoother, Diablo finally caught up with the Dragon Centipede after following the traces that it left behind.
During the entire journey, he encountered the scouts from different organizations that seemed to be tracking the giant centipede. It was clear that they were planning to take advantage of the current chaos to hunt down the Dragon Centipede or use it to destroy the kingdom.
Most of the scouts came from the forces that were invading the Sacred Light Kingdom. They were the people that Heckles had sent to track down the giant centipede so that they could control it and use its powers to destroy the Maze Forest.
The rest were the scavengers that came from the forces outside the Sacred Light Kingdom, wanting to catch some benefits in the middle of troubled waters.
