The last battle.... Quite a lot of action packed scenes have been added here. Besides for the battles on land, there's also battles in the sea and as the resources of the mercenary group gets lower and lower, the measures taken by the team gets more and more tedious.... And the worst has yet to come...
This is the first part of the last book, which was broken into 2 separate book. And if you like the story here, you should try to read the following book too.
This is the first part of the 2 part finale and it's so intense. Things are running down to the wire. Everything is beginning to go a bit crazy. Kaname still isn't in her right mind being controlled by Sophia and Mithril and Amalgam are both getting desperate. Everyone's decided to throw all their chips in on one final battle. Will it pay off? Who will come out the Victor? Guess I'll need to read part 2 to find out.
This is the first half of the final novel in the series. Having determined the true nature of the Whispered and the source of Black Technology, Leonardo Testarossa and a seemingly possessed Kaname begin their ultimate scheme that would completely and irreversibly change the world forever - in Amalgam's favor.
Almost out of supplies and morale, Tessa and the remains of Mithril plan a last-ditch effort in order to make one final assault on Amalgam in order to try and foil their plans.
We also get to see the true history of Mithril and Amalgam, and that they have much closer connection than was previously suspected.
