Such a grievous wound to his core—even a Duke would struggle to rule even the first layer of the Infernal Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily exhaled in relief, then excitedly said: “So we’ve driven off an Infernal Duke!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon glanced back at a certain Forest Warden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him wink at her playfully, her tension eased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be precise, it was a certain Forest Warden who drove off an Infernal Duke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That won’t do.

You two go deal with the remaining Dark Elves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Infernal Duke had fled; the Infernal passage was sealed; the Bloodborn Pool was corrupted by the Realm of Despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Battle of Coral Bay had been won outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What remained were only post-battle logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon snorted: “You tell me to go, and I go? I’m staying right here to watch you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally nodded: “I’m watching my master too.
