"I suppose you've already spoken to my Ren," Alucard said, his expression unreadable.
"Ren?"
He finally turned to Daylan, confusion flickering across his face. "Ranveer. Pry."
Realizing who he meant, Daylan gave a quick nod.
"Good. I can only cover for you for so long. Finish your task before it finishes you." With that, he turned and walked away.
All the while, Pry remained silent, asleep on Daylan's shoulder.
"Pride City, huh?" Medora said as they waited for the carriage.
"I don't think we're getting into the city,"
Daylan said, glancing at the map they'd been handed earlier. He pointed at a forest near Pride City.
"He said there's a swarm of A-rank demonic monsters out there. We take them down, and we officially become Divine Arches."
It wasn't long before the carriage arrived. They climbed in, and without delay, it rolled off toward the east.
The best way to reach Pride City—especially the forest Daylan and Medora were headed to—was by sea.
