Gathered Again

After that conversation, Clyde immediately decided to rest for a while. The situation was quite dire now, with the Archangels possibly knowing about him and preparing to hunt him down. But he wasn't too worried after considering a few things.

He was inside a Ruin, something that wouldn't be easy for them to find. He also had two allies who would help him since they possessed considerable power.

One of them was Graemory, a Demon Duchess. She had told him that this place would remain hidden when she brought him here.

The other was Asmodeus, one of the Demon Kings, whom he had defeated and who had received essence from the Ancient One. He should be willing to aid in the god's purpose.

Even so, Asqa couldn't be as relaxed as him. She had different priorities. She wasn't as strong as Clyde. Even after Clyde assured her that everything would be fine, she still couldn't stay calm.
