"Your Imperial Majesty, you can go ahead and bring the princess to where the Black God is. We'll take care of things here!"
"Right!" Ivan ran towards Alinea, taking down dark elementals on the way.
"Leave your elementals here to help. Aurel will take us for now," Alinea yelled as soon as Ivan reached her and she held out her hand.
Ivan took her hand and she hoisted him on Aurel's back. As soon as they were settled, the giant crow flew up in the air towards the deeper part of the cavern. The distance from the floor to the ceiling of this underground space was around two hundred meters high. But upon reaching the latter part, Aurel had to fly lower as the passageway got smaller, although it could still accommodate giants. It was the very same passageway where the four generals appeared.
"Ali, did you like Ritz's present?" Ivan asked as they flew.
Alinea shifted on Aurel's back so she could see Ivan's face and grinned. "What do you think?"
