The Situation in Linscht

The city lord's tale left Lyle and his companions somber. The revelation of the evolved monster's existence and the Grand Elder's involvement highlighted the dire situation within the Red Moon Empire. It also underscored the potential dangers they might face as they continued their journey.

For the Grand Elder of the Red Moon Empire to actually be injured was completely unexpected for them, he was an Arch Knight after all, and nobody would think such a person would actually get injured inside the borders of his own empire.

The fact that the monsters had actually evolved so quickly and that one rivaling an Arch Knight had appeared was not good. Lyle and the others finally understood why the Grand Elder had mentioned the Red Moon Empire to them and why this was an opportunity for them.
