Adam didn't know it yet, but he had never encountered anything like this before. Perhaps indirectly, when he was at the Dark Shore, the monsters from the Sacrificial Waterfalls turned to monsters with much higher power and status for help.
However, Adam did not know that Osmer and Rosana had established contact with someone from the Befallen Crown, the most powerful and influential faction among the monsters.
Sure, there were many powerful monsters among the Free End, but there was no unity among them.
The monsters of the Free End were loners following their own path, while sharing a common opinion about the role of the First Star in their world.
The Befallen Crown, on the other hand, was practically an empire with a strict hierarchy, and among their ranks were several powerful individuals whom even monsters such as Bathild turned to for help.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
