The enormous Black Bat in the sky stared coldly at Merlin.
"Osato, that fool. Did he think I wouldn't know why he lured you here? He deserved to die. But as Count Stanwen's son, you've barged into Stone City again. That is an insult to me! What interests me more, though, is the will of the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon you fused with. How did you suppress it?"
