As August prepared for his mission into the heart of Umber Hilt City, he decided to venture into the cursed remains of the city alone. The weight of responsibility was pressed upon his shoulders, and he understood that bringing Larcade along would only put him in danger. The young apprentice was not yet ready to face the perils of such a mission.
Perched on Horus, Larcade would be on standby, ready to assist at a moment's notice. Yet, August knew in his heart that he could not risk exposing him to the horrors that awaited. The uncertainty of the dark forces—Evil Aberrations—loomed like a storm cloud over the city, and a rank-0 elite apprentice like Larcade would stand little chance against a soul or spiritual attack. The responsibility lay solely with August.
