A One-Way Ticket To The Abyss [Part 1]

After the Vahan Empire's "apology", the candidates all lined up at the gate of the Domain.

Cethus had his arms crossed over his chest as he stood at the very front, with Lux behind him.

Right beside Cethus were the black-robed members of the Crystal Palace, led by the one that was being protected earlier by the Four Saints.

Although Lux had tried to ask Cethus several times about who the leader of the Crystal Palace was, the Dragon Born was tight-lipped and simply said that this was a matter between the Dragon Race.

Seeing that Cethus didn't want to disclose anything, Lux no longer pried and just focused his attention on the expedition.

"Please be careful inside," Piccoro said to the black-robed individual leading the members of the Crystal Palace. "If things get out of hand, evacuate right away."

The one leading the members of the Crystal Palace nodded.

"All of you, make sure to protect HIM at all costs," Piccoro stated. "Lay down your lives if you have to."

"""Yes Sir!"""
