Leon took the first step toward the building, with Violet, Celeste, and Emilia following closely behind him.
However, just as they approached the entrance, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from above.
"You were given so many opportunities to stand back," Cavin said, shaking his head in disappointment. "And yet... you persisted."
Leon and the girls immediately looked upward.
Standing on the roof of the building were the twenty-four remaining members of the Requiem Guild.
Their figures were partially concealed by the shadows, but their eyes remained fixed on the four intruders below, and the pressure they released made it clear that their strength had changed considerably.
They were no longer the same opponents Leon had encountered before even though it had only been less than a day.
"Wasn't there supposed to be twenty-five of them?" Celeste asked, counting the figures standing on the roof.
"One of them died in Monster Tide," Leon replied with a grin. "He was weak."
