Adam and Katrin looked at each other. As experienced fighters, they expected the Crimson Monarch to have some trump card, but... a trident from the snake's mouth?
That was not what any of them were thinking.
Step. Step. Step.
The Crimson Monarch stepped forward confidently, his stride causing Adam and Katrin to pull back. They didn't know what his trident was capable of, but they realized that the trump card of such a powerful creature was no ordinary thing.
For a while, the Crimson Monarch stared at Adam, in silence. He said nothing, recognizing in Adam's eyes only the willingness to fight, no matter how hard.
Then Crimson Monarch nodded deeply, before slowly turning to Katrin's side. Her condition was much worse, yet she wasn't thinking about losing.
Right now, if Katrin fought to the last drop of blood, she would most likely defeat the Dormant Lord, even his enhanced current form.
"You... I don't know your name."
