Are You..?

While a world-shaking incident was happening outside the Misty Forest, inside the forest, the remnant souls could only look at the smaller semi-transparent sphere that was suspended near the edge of the ravine leading to the Chaos Palace.

[Monarch...]

They all called out in concern while they looked at the crouched silhouette inside the sphere.

[There is no response from Lord Azaloth.]

A remnant soul beside the leader said.

[It cannot be helped. We can only do our best to protect the Monarch.]

The leader replied with a hint of determination in his voice.

[Yes!]

The rest of the remnant souls replied in unison.
