".You're rewarding me for attacking the Marshal!" Robin honestly did not know whether he should laugh or cry. If anyone were told they would be placed in charge of a war against the Plague, they would consider it a death sentence-yet this creature was treating it as a reward. But when Robin recalled what he had witnessed inside Leosar's soul domain, the reaction suddenly made sense. That slow, relentless torment inflicted upon demon souls granted Leosar a disturbing sense of satisfaction, even comfort. He wanted to throw more of them into that hell. There was no doubt about it anymore. This thing had been born to exterminate the other Plague strains. A plague meant to hunt the Plague. But why? Why was it born from the Crimson Plague in particular? And why within the Virillion colony of all places? Had the planet's spirit interfered somehow? .Unlikely. If planetary spirits possessed such power, they would have manipulated the Plague the moment it appeared and produced a creature like this at will. Or perhaps. this did happen occasionally, but such beings died before they could grow? Sakaar had already mentioned that simply keeping Leosar alive was a struggle. In any case, it was a matter worth investigating later. For now, Leosar was the perfect solution to Morgana's request for establishing an army to combat the Plague. Still. he would not be enough on his own. Indeed, Leosar versus the Plague was a one-sided massacre. His ability to directly interfere with the unique souls of demon-kind allowed him to kill any Plague at his own level with ease, and even higher-level Plague with only moderate effort. His clash with Sakaar did not count. Sakaar, Amon, and several of the highest-ranking commanders of the Second Army-such as Helga and Sayer- were equipped with soul borrowings provided by Morgana and embedded within their helmets. Any direct soul assault against them would have been a complete waste of time. Without those soul borrowings, however, the battle would have taken a very different turn. Sakaar would have been forced to unleash the Sea of Blood, annihilating everything within dozens of miles just to push Leosar away, before attacking him from afar with the underworld daises! Such a reaction would not have merely destroyed the demon city-it would have wiped out all of Virillion, a planet contested by multiple Behemoths. As Robin reflected on this, his expression twisted slightly.
