Titania, who could feel a slight change in Astaroth's presence, suddenly backed off. She heard his whispers, and her eyes widened.
She quickly jumped back, trying to put some distance between the two of them.
'I knew I recognized that ring,' she thought, as she backed away.
Astaroth erupted with black flames, as a ring of runes appeared under his feet, growing in size until it was almost a hundred metres wide. The runes shone in red-black shades, as a portal opened up behind Astaroth.
He may have been too busy burning up in demonic flames to notice the portal behind him, but Phoenix wasn't.
And from afar, her eyes widened.
'That portal… It's like the one in the dungeon's last stage…'
Her mind couldn't wrap around the fact that Astaroth was opening such a portal. Just how close to hell's powers had Solomon's legacy made Astaroth?
