In the dim corridor, the sound of hurried footsteps approached from afar. After disrupting the transfer of the Decay Plague and briefly clashing with Morrison, Church's battle continued.
The Fog Abyss Fortress echoed with intense ether reactions. Church recognized those ether reactions; they were the powers of Bologue and Palmer. They, too, had joined the fight against the enemy. From the scene, it seemed to be the enemy's main forces.
They shouldn't be engaging the enemy in combat.
As this thought emerged, Church immediately realized why Bologue and Palmer were doing this—they were covering for him, attracting the enemy's attention.
As a field staff with professional expertise, it wasn't difficult to guess these things. Meanwhile, layers of expectation and pressure were placed upon Church.
Bologue and Palmer fought so desperately; with just the two of them, they stirred up a frenzied skirmish within the Fog Abyss Fortress. How could he possibly let their efforts go in vain?
