Underground, the Heart Stealing Demon's city 'Aureido'.
Bartlett and Little Mage Kris strolled through the city, which still retained its dark elf style. Compared to their last visit, the city was much livelier, with the streets no longer desolate and deserted, but filled with slaves of various races repairing and renovating the city.
Kris, the Little Mage, mentioned that the Heart Stealing Demon Clan, known as the 'Brain Biter,' had basically secured its footing in the Dark Domain. Although battles were still happening every day, they were small in scale, allowing the Heart Stealing Demons to consolidate and perfect their lairs.
This time, Bartlett came to discuss matters related to the "Ultimate Skill." Somehow, even though they were completely different in occupation, size, appearance, age, and experience, the Barbarian felt a strange connection with the Little Mage, as if they shared something similar on some level.
