"The artifact origin wasn't some opposite faction of Citra's," she said, voice steady despite everything. "It belonged to a demon lord named Sintron. He's the Demon Queen's little brother, and right now he's working as the champion for both the Eye and the Devil."
Neo wiped the sweat and blood off his face, nodding once. "Explains why it felt off."
"He's way too strong for you head-on right now," Ti continued. "You should take out his four commanders first. Citra can't jump in on this one. She already cut a deal with the current demon elders. No attacking demon royalty or their lackeys."
Neo let out a long sigh, rolling his shoulders. "Fine. I can work with that. What's the move?"
