Eugene IV was pacing anxiously back and forth in the palace hall of the Curia in Salinsburgh.
He was like a cat on hot bricks.
“Urgent news!” A subordinate hurriedly entered the hall.
Immediately, Eugene IV asked, “How's the situation?”
His subordinate's expression turned grim as he reported in a low voice, “Pope Eugene, the situation seems to be getting out of hand.”
Eugene IV's face changed. “What's going on?” he asked further.

Nathan isn't dead? He was severely wounded, but he fought his way out and went into Mount Eoncrest!
After receiving the news, Eugene IV slumped back into his chair with a sense of helplessness.
Mount Eoncrest extends endlessly, spanning across the territories of more than a dozen countries. Since Nathan has gone into Mount Eoncrest, it would be extremely difficult to hunt him down, but...
