During the time when Roy and the others are busy in Melk and doing their own businesses, somewhere in an unknown location unmarked in any maps, a discussion is happening.
"What the hell happened!?" asked a man in priest clothing and a white mask. Rather than a mask, it was more like a helmet that covers his whole head.
"The experiment is a success. With the invention we make, we can make it so monsters can follow our simple orders. That's what happened." Another man with a lab coat replied.
If Roy, Albert, or anyone from their group listened to this conversation, they would realize who these people are.
That's right. These people are the higher ups of the cult who gave the order to destroy several designated cities by using monsters.
Other than the two masked people, there are several other people there. One of them is Veronica.
