Somewhere in the Obsidian Desert.
A massive mansion stood beside an oasis.
A man with long white hair rose from his seat. He glanced in a certain direction and said, "It's time. Prepare yourself."
"Huh?" A chubby woman looked at him. "Is it already time, Leonard?"
"Yeah." Leonard nodded at her words. "Maeb, don't forget our mission. The other group already failed against Adel, so we can't afford to fail this time. We have to kill the Blood Lightning Monster, no matter what."
"It's a pity," Maeb said, standing up from her seat. "If Adel hadn't broken through to the Hero-rank, he would have died there."
"Arden will be freed from his punishment in just a month. If we can't kill the Blood Lightning Monster, he'll destroy our group. This is our only way to survive." Leonard said, a frown on his face.
