Sunny remained silent for a while, pondering on what Azarax had told them. It was quite interesting, but not entirely useful knowledge… it certainly wasn't going to help them conquer the Nightmare Desert, at the very least.
However, Sunny felt very refreshed while talking to Azarax. Even if the ancient tyrant was not entirely sane, he was far more talkative and far less untrustworthy than Eurys — finally, there was someone from the bygone era with whom they could hold an actual conversation.
Nephis regarded the ancient skeleton intently, then asked in an even tone:
"There had to be a reason why all these warriors clashed in the Hell of Ariel, though. How did this battle even happen?"
Azarax raised his skull to the sky and let out a cackling laughter.
"How did it happen? How did it happen… ah…"
His voice broke strangely, and he fell silent for a moment.
"That is not for you to know, abomination."
