Before entering the Black Cinder Forest, all the members of the Golden Light Squad were alive. The appearance of the Prime Thunder Demon didn't change that.
The spatial anomaly and Light Yellow monsters couldn't break their sturdy squad. Fallen Crypt and even Fume Cathedral were only temporary crises they were prepared to deal with, especially with the support of Adam and Katrin.
But... when Plague Reaper arrived at this feast of death, instead of hunters or equal combatants, the Golden Light Squad became victims.
First Lero, then Erla... Their journey was complete, and it didn't happen in a great battle, but in one move.
Although Plague Reaper showed respect towards Lero, but... how did he kill him? Yeah, Plague Reaper simply stomped on Lero's face, blasting his head with one powerful trample.
Erla didn't even have time to realize what had happened before her head was ripped from her body, rolling away into a dark corner.
