It was rare for someone stronger to entrust a weaker person. And it was likewise difficult for a weaker person to entrust a stronger person to protect them.
So why was Sylas so sure? That was because there was no way that Lucius would accept the penalty of being unable to leave the city limits.
Though… Sylas wondered. Was the Portal a loophole to that?
[Judgment Commencing]

Sylas took a breath and exhaled as the skies turned red.
At first glance, it looked like a trick of the eye, a mirage painted by fatigue instead of reality. However, upon second inspection, it became clear that it wasn't the skies turning red at all, but rather a dome of crimson had rooted itself in this city's territory.
The scene below looked like it was straight out of a video game. Flashes of light bloomed as creatures began to spawn one after another… except this time they weren't beasts, but rather humanoids.

Grimgor led a squadron of ten and charged toward the walls.
Sylas looked to the side, seeing if there was a different situation elsewhere. It seemed that there were three such troops of gnolls total, and each one was led by an F+ while the troop itself was formed of F's.
'This is the first wave? Where is the BOSS?'
The details were murky to Sylas as most things had only been explained in passing. But it seemed that they would have to defeat this siege of 33 before they could even see the BOSS.
This was very troublesome, mostly because this number was about equal to their own, and if the first wave was actually so strong, how many of them would die?
