The reality was exactly as Lincon had feared.
Although the appearance of the five great Rune Arrays suppressed the Abyssal army's second wave of attacks, it also drew the attention of the force's controller in the rear.
Abyss Epic: Lord of War and Ashes—Charon.
Without question, Charon's arrival made the Abyss Sea's offensive rhythm far more orderly.
