John now held a bizarrely shaped crossbow arrow in his hands.
Brian carried an exaggeratedly large sword.
McCaul was decked out in a suit of scale armor.
Beyond that, numerous firearms had appeared on the trio, either slung over their shoulders or carried in their arms.

Compared to his reluctance when dealing with Bolun, Delbon was much more enthusiastic in the presence of his three friends.

McCaul answered on behalf of the three.
Brian, however, looked towards his daughter, and after making sure she was safe and sound, he, like John, lifted his head to gaze at the massive cross.

Brian took a deep breath.

Brian said, brooking no refusal.
"Now, immediately,"
McCaul added.
John was putting Daisy into the car.
