Inside the barrier surrounding the core district of the Imperial Capital, everyone stood tensely as the rapidly dissipating mist continued to thin.
No one knew what the outcome of the battle had been.
All they knew was that—it was over.
At the outermost edge of the barrier stood Logan, the highest-ranking official of Morning Star.
He had just finalized the interior defense plan for the barrier.
If Luca had lost the battle, the three-headed demon serpent would undoubtedly attack the core district next.
And when that time came, every single Morning Star member would be expected to fight to the death.
On either side of Logan stood Drumph and Zovland.
Though the two didn't get along in the slightest, they both kept themselves in check while in Logan's presence.
Not far off, the commanders of the Imperial Capital's Guard Corps also stood rigidly, eyes fixed on the thinning mist.
Like Morning Star, they too were prepared to die defending the capital's heart.
