Kane wasn't expecting a Hot Momma to be the Final Boss.

"Is this the Boss, Spencer?"

"No! Definitely not! I think they updated the games!"

"Hey, Kane! Are things still going your way?!"

Despite the doubtful look on his face, the Paragon still gave the hidden Skullhead a thumbs up.

"O-of course! Hehe! Look at Spencer's stats!"

Doom couldn't fathom was was happening anymore.

'How is he doing this? Why is Spencer's stats constantly increasing? Is it because of the shared stats? But why is his stats increasing?'

Spencer was delighted.

"Oh really?!"

Kane replied,

"How I wish I could see those stats. Smh."

As the Magistrate finally stood up beside his Queen, he spoke,

"Greetings, Travelers. Have you come here to join our Queen in our crusade?"

"C-Crusade?"

The Last Sparrows stared at each other in confusion. But Kane thought of something.

'I wonder what will happen if I agree?'

Kane gleefully answered,

"Crusade against whom?"

The Magistrate suddenly pointed his hands upward to the ceiling.

"Them."

"Them?"

"Hundreds of years ago, we and other species have been hunted down by the tyrant Demon Lord, Doom."

Upon hearing his name, the duo immediately shifted their gaze at the invisible Doom.

"You again, you little shit?"

"Ugh, it's just one of my experiments."

The mage continued,

"We were used as a test subject repeatedly with his wicked trials! We wanted to die, but he doesn't allow us to."

Suddenly, a hologram in the form of constellations appeared above them, portraying the events that happened in the past.

"Eventually, Doom and his clan were subjugated. We thought we were finally free. But the subjugators, the Paragon Haymitch, didn't let us go. Our souls have been kept captive in this Tower, repeatedly being tormented over and over again!"

Kane started brushing his chin as this suddenly caught his interest.

"Hmmmm, is this a Secret Quest?"

"Secret Quest?" Spencer asked.

Doom explained,

"I heard Paragons can detect unusual phenomenons around them. These scenarios were said to end up being called the Secret Quests. Maybe this airhead just detected one right now?"

"Not yet," Kane replied.

The mage resumed,

"Throughout the ages, we've been trying to escape. Unfortunately, our Queen has always failed to gather all the fragments of her soul. Until today. Thanks to you, Travelers. You have helped our Queen achieve her Final Form."

Kane had his mouth opened wide upon realizing what had happened.

'Wait, what? Did he just say we helped them evolve their Queen?'
