[Filler Chapter]

Leonel, Isolde, Roz, Avaris, and Lethargia

=======

Meanwhile, Leonel, Roz, Isolde, and Avaris, with the still sleeping Lethargia, continued their journey through the eerie landscape. "Are we going the right way?" Leonel asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "We've been traveling along the stream for quite some time now, and I'm starting to get dizzy with all the swirling pathways in here."

Avaris shrugged nonchalantly, his confidence unwavering. "No worries, first-timers are really prone to dizziness after venturing inside the stream. But rest assured, we're on the right track."

Isolde glanced around at the barren surroundings, her expression one of mild discontent. "There is nothing here but dead trees and more dead trees."

"This place is creepy," Roz muttered under his breath, his gaze darting from tree to tree.

"Said the mad scientist," Leonel teased, a playful smirk tugging at his lips.

Roz grumbled in response, his words barely audible. "It doesn't mean that I can create monsters, meaning that I like scary places."

"Relax, everyone. It's just part of the scenery. The Ven Faust are noble demons, and they're pretty chill," Avaris reassured them, his tone soothing.

"Remind me again, what are we doing here?" Leonel asked, his brows furrowing in confusion.

Avaris shrugged casually, his demeanor calm and collected. "Easy. They're part of the noble factions that remain neutral. We want them on our side, so we'll win them over through quests."

"Within a year, the house fell, its panicked citizenry fleeing to other nations and abandoning the land to the hordes of spectral dead.

"To this day, Niccoli lairs within Ven Faust Manor, collecting arcane knowledge to further expand his necromantic powers. As the centuries passed, Niccoli's power has only grown, eventually achieving archlichdom by committing atrocities too numerous and horrific to recount.

"Now known as the lich child, Niccoli has nearly exhausted his capacities at Ven Faust Manor and is eager to venture across the multiverse in search of new magic to master."

"That sounded . . . that sounded creepy," Leonel commented, his voice filled with unease.

"Hehehe. Usually, we let Niccoli do his thing out of respect for his old house, however now, with Azazel's absence, he was left unchecked," Avaris explained, his expression serious.

"And you want this deranged demon to be an ally?" Isolde expressed her concern, her brows furrowed in worry.

"Don't worry. If Niccoli displays hostility, then that's where you come in," Avaris reassured them with a toothy grin.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Leonel inquired, his confusion evident.

"You will kill him, of course. He's only a menace if he won't agree to be on our side," Avaris stated matter-of-factly, his tone firm.

"What happened to what you said about talking him into joining our side?" Roz questioned.

Avaris shrugged, his expression nonchalant. "Talking will only get us so far. If things don't work out, you could always resort to violence."

"And what will you be doing?" Isolde asked with dead voice.

"I'll be on the sidelines, cheering you on, of course," Avaris replied with a nervous laugh. "Not like I'm scared or anything, but I have Lethargia to worry about. She's asleep, and she needs me in case something happens."
