After a lengthy discussion with Ocean Sage and finalizing all upcoming plans, John left Southern Harbor.
Staying further in Southern Harbor wouldn't be of any help to Ocean Sage, and John needed to swiftly return to Storm City to check if Duke Arsena and General Natasha had made their preparations.

The combined assault on Storm City by the Flame Knight and the Corruptor, both powerful devils, had been unsuccessful, which came as a shock to the other devils of the Dark Faction.
