A day quickly passed. During this time, both Irving and his friends were preparing for the battle that might erupt soon. Of course, the Night Blades were making similar preparations.
That afternoon, Irving and James headed to the agreed-upon location to meet Elder Astra. The two patiently waited for Elder Astra to arrive. James appeared somewhat nervous. He couldn't shake the feeling that his previous actions could very well put them all at a disadvantage in the upcoming fight.
Irving, on the other hand, was completely relaxed. From the very beginning, he had not trusted Elder Astra. He had come here merely hoping to gather some additional intelligence.
