At that moment, he caught a faint stench and turned his head in confusion, looking toward the man beside him. The foul odor was emanating from him.
To enter Hell, one naturally needed a person proficient in Spatial Magic Arrays, and this man was the reinforcement he had sought from the church.
Considering the return journey, these Magic Array Masters had also come along.
During the battle, they had kept these individuals securely protected in the middle, to prevent any mishaps.
"Kanter?"
Ed voiced his doubts, for he knew the man; they had fought side by side many times, which was why the other was willing to risk helping out.
As for the stench on Kanter's body, Ed didn't pay much attention; they were in Hell after all, and they had just encountered a Demon ambush—it was only sensible they'd get a bit smelly.
He just wondered, why had Kanter suddenly come out of the protective circle?
The Demon Tide had not yet fully receded; they were still not completely safe.
