The Duke of Yggdra received some bad news, the monsters they had been preparing for three days using experimental items were a terrible failure and were slaughtered with ease.
The magical artifacts in them that showed their life signs were suddenly deactivated, showing that they had clearly died.
The Duke of Yggdra felt utterly frustrated, but above all, fearful.
It knew that the influence of the Dark Lord of the Depths was strong in the entire Kingdom, even as the Duke of this famous city that surrounded one of the continent's World Trees, he still had less influence and power compared to this cult, that was even capable of controlling the King, his father.
Without many hopes left, he began to consider what to do now… without any way to eliminate the threat that the Dark Lord of the Depths wants to slay at all costs, he'll have to let the Cult do their thing and take action themselves, while he would receive a fitting punishment, perhaps…
