"We meet again, Hilfi. This time, I won't let you escape!" A faint and terrifying voice echoed through the endless void, heard clearly by Sebastian and the chieftain of the serpentfolk.
Sebastian, in particular, caught the most crucial piece of information in those words—the name of the Goddess of Dark Moon, Hilfi.
The being who spoke had been an adversary of Hilfi's before, and she had once escaped from its pursuit.
Perhaps it was the Dark Radiance Stone on Sebastian that led to his being mistaken for the Goddess of Dark Moon Hilfi.
Even as Sebastian pondered these things in his mind, he did not delay his preparations for battle.
He understood all too well that a formidable enemy awaited him.
As the haunting voice faded, a massive portal materialized not far from Sebastian, emanating an endless and chaotic energy.
"For the master, to battle! Eliminate all enemies!" A great roar thundered from within the portal.
