—Ethan Heart's POV—
Almost half an hour had passed since we defeated Aldebaran.
It had been a grueling battle, but fortunately, we hadn't lost many of our companions.
Even so, some of us were in no condition to continue, especially Raiden. So after a brief discussion, we left him behind with Alicia and Chai to protect him, while Luna, Schierke, and I went ahead to join the others.
That was why the three of us were now running alone through the cathedral's deepest corridors.
Out of everyone in our group, we were the ones still in the best condition to fight.
My Demonic Body gave me endurance far beyond that of an ordinary human, even after spending so long fighting the Knight Commander. Luna, meanwhile, could continuously replenish her mana, meaning that as long as her body could withstand the strain, she could keep casting deadly spells all day if necessary.
As for the witch Schierke, she was in remarkably good condition.
