While at the party, Luffy, Lucifer, and Licht were just sitting and talking. Lucifer said, "I have a proposal for you. But first, tell me—how skilled are you in the Afterglow technique?"
Licht replied, "I know the technique, but I'm not a master at it."
Lucifer nodded. "Well, you have about two weeks to train, because trust me, you'll need it."
Licht raised an eyebrow. "Why? Are you suggesting someone will attack me?"
Lucifer said, "Of course not. But in exactly two weeks, there will be a massive attack on the House of Solace—and it will be aimed directly at their throats."
Licht said, "Interesting… but how did you get this information?"
Lucifer replied, "Let me get straight to the point. Exitforger and Arc Luatine are going to launch a blitz-screen operation. It will last for 300 seconds, and during that time, everything will be destroyed."
Licht narrowed his eyes. "Interesting. But what do you want from me?"
Lucifer said, "Backup, in case we fail. Our enemies are vampires. If we fall, you'll need to use your trick and eliminate all of them in a second. That's the plan."
Licht smirked. "Alright then. I'll entertain you with your plan."
Lucifer smiled. "Trust me—it'll be fun."
The next day
Astraea, Anew, and Faiz were summoned by Lucifer.
Lucifer said, "Listen, our domain is facing a problem. There are monsters in the southern town of Speal—specifically Moss Hues—and they're wreaking havoc. Even though the civilians have been evacuated, the town is still under their control. Destroy all of them and clear the town."
Astraea, Anew, and Faiz responded in unison, "Sir, yes sir!" and headed toward the town.
Upon arrival, Faiz said, "Use these robes. They'll make you invisible to the monsters."
Anew asked, "Why do they smell so bad?"
Faiz replied, "It hides your scent from the monsters. Now let's go."
Then Faiz continued, "There are about fifteen Moss Hues. Look over there—they're using the crop fields to reproduce. And look at that huge one! It's massive. Normally, a Moss Hue is about 3 meters tall, but that one is 6 meters! How did it get so big?!"
Suddenly, the giant monster looked directly at them—and smiled.
Faiz shouted, "Our cover is blown! Run!"
