Rallying The Resources!

Skullius had quit thinking about why the name Reon, which Rias had uttered, was so familiar, and turned to look at the exchange between Vali and Rias.

He had been about to urge himself to go forward and help – somehow – when he spotted Grutus and Liura. They were both riding the multi-tailed Beckoned Retriever Liura had tamed, which featured a ring of light over its head.

Grutus seemed a bit pale, but Liura firmly sent her gaze to the figured close to where the pillar of green fire burned ferociously.

Grutus looked at his female partner as if she was insane, and stuttered.
