I asked Billy to hold down the fort while we were gone. It should be safe with him there.

Salieri

I would have enjoyed that particular assignment as well... But, oh well.

...Hm? I hear something growling.

There is a pack of Demonic Beasts nearby.

Atalante Alter

Impressive, musician. I guess that refined hearing of yours comes in handy for more than just composing symphonies. ...Judging from their scent, the beasts must be in the marsh just ahead.

If at all possible, I prefer not to allow them to escape. We could very much use their meat to bolster our reserves.

Your choice

That's your cue, Avicebron.

Avicebron

Understood. I'll have some golems surround them.

Your choice

You're up, golem master!

Avicebron

Hmm, very well. Just leave everything to me.

?!

Atalante Alter

Good. Then let the hunt begin!

2. After the battle

Atalante Alter

Did you get them?

Avicebron

I did. My golems caught the stragglers when they tried to escape.

Atalante Alter

...Your golems really are a terrifying force in large numbers.

Avicebron

I suppose so.

I can make as many as I want as long as my magical energy holds out.

Atalante Alter

True, yes, but what I find most unnerving about them is the sheer speed with which you make them.

It is as though you carry a small army you can produce almost instantly wherever you go.

I shudder to think what could happen if you had gone into the military, rather than philosophy...

...though I imagine those you count as your enemies would be shuddering all the more.

Avicebron

I'm afraid I never had any interest in pursuing glory on the battlefield. That is, perhaps, for the best.

But never mind that. I believe we should be reaching this ravine you mentioned soon.

Atalante Alter

Indeed.
