Before Amy could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lewan, who tapped the Holy Silver Scripture in her right hand, producing a crisp, clear sound. With a firm and unquestionable tone, she said, "Trust me, I am much better suited to deal with these Devils. Time waits for no one—you all had better leave first."

A solemn look crossed Amy's face as she declared, "Lady Angelica, I'm afraid I cannot leave. If we all strike together, twenty-some soldiers tainted with evil aura should be easy enough to handle, provided we don't get bogged down."
