"Agate! Seventy-Six! Divine Emperor be praised..."
Manon froze for a moment, then yanked the Full Coverage Helmet off his head. Laughing, he strode quickly behind Agate, intending to give him a Battle Brothers-style bear hug to express his joy and welcome.
But before he could reach him, Agate's mechanical arm grabbed his and pushed him aside.
「Two months had passed.」
Since they last saw him, Agate's aura of Mighty Power had grown far stronger; it seemed he had already reached the Two-star Earth Military Rank.
His crimson hooded cloak was also different from before. It now bore numerous complex emblems that glowed with faint blue Energy Patterns, giving it a strong religious feel.
A large skull emblem was embroidered with silver thread onto the hood of the cloak.
