Arlcard was disoriented when Cain forcefully detached from him. He reeled back. The dead vampire elders used this chance to land some attacks on him.
Jack arrived in the nick of time and used Hundred Shadow Strikes to beat these enemies back. He then landed beside Arlcard and pulled him away, just as a torrent of fire showered the area. The archdemon lord continued throwing one spell after another, causing havoc and ruining the dead vampire elders' formation.
"Are you okay?" Jack asked Arlcard.
"I… I am fine," Arlcard answered. Clarity returned to his eyes. Those eyes were on Cain who was now battling Marcus. He wanted to rush forward to help but Jack stopped him.
"Wait! We can't win by fighting blindly," Jack said. "I have a plan. The enemies' attention is taken by the archdemon lord. This is our chance, but I need your help."
Arlcard took a breath to gather himself. He asked, "What do you need?"
