Elric was the one who had summoned William and the others to this world. He was a powerful man, responsible for teaching many things to the summoned heroes.
But what was he doing in a fight that happened so many years ago? That battle was not recent. It was something from thousands of years in the past.
How had he lived so long? Lucas had mentioned that Elric was dead. Yet, seeing him there on the battlefield, William began to wonder if any of this was real.
Just seeing Elric's face again made William's blood boil, his fists clenching involuntarily. His teeth ground together so hard he feared he might crack one.
"He's hiding something. That bastard!"
The trial, which had initially been just about seeking the benefits of the demonic lineage, had become something more. Now, William wanted to understand more about Elric.
The demon prince, who was the current commander of the fight, took the lead, turning to all the warriors gathered before the gate.
