As soon as they stepped through the portal, they found themselves in a different, yet strangely familiar setting.
On one side stood the members of Shining Sword, the Knights, the nobles, and Kraims, while Dora and Leon stood face to face in the center of it all.
Watching as the illusions clashed, Dora crossed his arms with a sardonic smile.
"Oh, interesting, so people challenged us way before. What led to this battle?"
Marie briefly glanced at him before turning her attention back to the fight.
"A battle to determine the future of Shining Sword, the team we assembled from your home village."
While the fake Dora's eyes twitched, the real Dora found it utterly amusing and couldn't resist letting out a giggle.
"... We are from a simple village? How unexpected."
