## Story

### The Beast God Desert

Isdes led the Gypshir's divine army towards Ishtia's group. Isdes followed after Nerfiti and her ammits. He asked Ner to socialise with Totona later. He greets Ishtia and Totona. When Ishtia questioned the breached security of Gypshir's pyramid's barrier and with Apophis snakes, Isdes hesitated to give out details towards Chiyuki and the others. Isdes questions the identity of Chiyuki and Reiji. He was surprised to learn about the infamous Hero appearing. However his expression turned grim when he looked at Medjed, he asked Totona about the person behind him. Totona says Kuroa is under her control, but Isdes corrects himself that he meant Medjed. He is suspicious of Medjed, the strange person wearing a white cloth. Chiyuki objected Totona statement when she said he wasn't suspicious. Isdes also agrees and suggest to investigate Medjed by taking off the cloth. Isdes was surprised when Chiyuki protested, even though she objected him to be suspicious. Ner supports Totona, though she unknowingly admits Medjed is suspicious. Isdes opposes until Ishtia convinces to leave it. Isdes reluctantly agrees.
