Roland was glad to have avoided the greatest danger.
He had already dispatched all the demons along the way and was now running up the stairs.
With Norelli gone and the mana-draining issue resolved, he could finally tap into his best skills again to eliminate any remaining demons or fledgling vampires.
The lab he'd hoped to find had already been destroyed, likely by the vampire scientist who hadn't wanted his secrets uncovered.
The only words he heard came from the bat that had been following him.
"You think I'd let you know what I'm planning?"
The unsettling creature had stayed behind him the whole time, making Roland question how much privacy he truly had.
Still, he didn't stop climbing. Right now, his priority was ensuring Stella's safety and telling her that her brother was still alive, though in danger.
Roland rushed forward, at times using magic to break through walls that had clearly been intended to slow him down.
