Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick 02

Adventure draws near as Dragon Quest fans follow Prince Arus a century after Dragon Quest III. In this second volume, Arus and his steadfast companions depart the Ibis Sandsea and head east, where they meet the martial artist Yao, who soon joins their ranks. A deadly clash with the swordsman Servein tests their resolve, and the secrets of Kira's past begin to surface. Together, Arus, Kira, and Yao tear through the parasitic bond linking Servein to the cursed Fellsword Neqros, knowing the blade will not surrender easily. The battle reshapes alliances and comes at a price as they confront a monster's threat. After the dust settles, Arus makes progress in uniting with the three descendants of Erdrick's companions, and a new clue at an oasis hints at the third lord they must confront on their quest.
