Meanwhile, as war raged in the southern outskirts of Heliodor between the Sunstrike Agency and Mirethorn Hollow, Lord Darius let out a weary sigh.
'Is this fate? The descendant we discarded at the mercy of The Bishop to become a Sleepwalker, being the one setting me up for failure?'
He thought, his mind replaying everything that Levi had done so far to foil his plans.
Levi had indeed played a major role in ruining both Plan A and B... the ambushing army was meant as a done deal, led by the Hound to finish off the Blood Hunters.
He didn't even need to beg the Bishop to rent him the Hound... The moment Seraphis' name was mentioned, The Hound took part voluntarily, having a personal debt to settle with him.
Lord Darius predicted that Seraphis would use his Dominion against The Hound... It was standard in combat between Solarbound and Tier 5+ entities.
