Seeing the powerful burst of Divine Power, even the normally taciturn Steel Demon was shocked, exclaiming:
"Priest!"
Lancelot realized he somehow understood the demon's language, but he immediately knew he hadn't directly "heard" it. Instead, through his connection with Eckmond, he grasped the meaning of the word the demon had uttered.
The Steel Demons' surprise was understandable. If a priest was controlled by a succubus, they must already be on a path of corruption, and it would be impossible to receive any power from the divine. The present situation clearly defied logic, suggesting this team was not as the fiends had anticipated.
The demons, who highly valued logic, planning, and strategy, were well aware of how severe the consequences could be if they misjudged their enemies' strength.
Bruto and Kalalin rushed to support Lancelot's fight as soon as they could. Faced with the dense Skeleton Sea, Bruto hesitated slightly, but still gritted his teeth and charged through.
