At The Top Of The Tower
I landed on the balcony just in time to see the King cut off the head of a Scarlet Fiend, her Valour Skill incinerating the body and leaving only ashes behind.
No… My Demonic core… Oh well.
I secured the rope to the balcony and waved at the three still below, prompting them to start climbing up the rope.
It'll take them a while to get up here so I turned my attention back to the tower's interior, finding the King now standing in front of the nobleman who had previously transformed into the Pale Fiend.
I'm quite surprised to see that he could actually transform back to his human form.
Behind him was the princess suspended in the air with the same chains that bound her limbs while a very ominous mirror half the size of the room floated behind her.
Unlike before where she was conscious, she was unconscious this time.
