Outside the throne room, the ground suddenly shook. Dust rained from the buildings, cracks spreading along the walls like veins.
The soldiers froze mid-battle. Even the undead staggered for a moment as the castle trembled violently, as if something inside was tearing it apart.

"It's clearly a battle between a human and a demon," Ria, the priestess, claimed. "If I'm not wrong, Nox was the only one who headed that way."
"Against who?" Theo asked, sidestepping a demonic claw and driving his blade into its heart.

However, they were all aware that Noir was currently away, which meant there was a high possibility Nox was facing the Number Two man of the Flaming Rose organization.
