The Asura Succession War
Description
Orsted's first task is to put the second princess Ariel on Asura's throne. Rudeus escorts Ariel and Sylphie to the capital, wins Perugius to their side, and through a string of deadly clashes with assassins and sword-masters breaks the resistance of High Minister Darius.
With Darius defeated, Ariel's road to the crown is clear. Orsted confesses to Rudeus that he does not see the future but relives the same span of time over and over, hundreds of times — and is therefore sure of victory. His work done, Rudeus returns home.
