"To make a long story short, this time I went to theocratic country with Satan Ye and Vera. We were ambushed by two cults... one called the Flame Demon Sect and the other the White Wings Sect. I took Vera and extracted part of a soul from a knowledgeable person, and from that, we uncovered a truth."
As Yila spoke, aside from Senata, who had known since yesterday, the expressions of everyone else turned solemn. Each person started making guesses, as many had some understanding of the origination of these 'cults.'
Adoring strong persons, ancestors, or natural phenomena; worshipping anything besides gods—such were the cults. If they inexplicably wanted to kill someone, it was highly likely that the entity they worshipped desired that person's death.
And when Yila mentioned matters concerning the very survival of the Demon King Territory, it indicated that the opponent might have an unusual identity.
