[Astaroth's dungeon, the innermost room.]
"So you've finally come."
Astaroth, a succubus woman with blue hair, smiled at the system window floating before her.
"Rank 63.... Heh. No wonder the ones climbing up from the bottom came to a stop right about there. Just as I expected."
"We'll counterattack at once."
Orias, reborn as a new being through synthesis into an incubus, pushed for an immediate response. Astaroth could see the location where the portal had opened right away, and naturally it was the point farthest from where they stood.
"Calm yourself, Orias. This is a war fought over this, of all things. Considering the mission that person gave us, we can't simply go and fight."
Astaroth drew out the item she kept carefully at her breast. Inside a glass case sealed with iron chains sat something worth more than even a highest grade magic stone.
A Reincarnation Crystal.
