Devil's Bible

Ella stopped and looked back. When the sun rose and the whale's cry was heard, there was no thick smoke. He knew then that his plan had been discovered.

An emotion of anger, guilt, and despair welled up from the depths of my heart.

He was disappointed that these people were so weak and powerless in the face of a fictitious agreement, allowing it to dominate the Azure Whale.

But they were able to discover the traps he set so quickly!
Are these people targeting him?!

This disappointment and anger combined to form his current dominant emotion—annoyance.

He was furious with those people, wondering why they couldn't just follow his plan and become the main force behind the fabricated agreement.

All he wanted was to collect his sister's body, why can't we grant that wish?!
However, this anger quickly disappeared.

Because he was caught up.

Mocania and the other clergy who had fled with them somehow found him.

The moment she was found, Ella was utterly desperate.

In his mind, if he betrayed them, he would have no chance of surviving.

And this group of people are cowardly as mice, and would never go to Cavilla.

In other words, his younger sister would still be hung on the wooden pole at the village entrance, subjected to the villagers' humiliation.

Ella's lifeless, indifferent attitude, which made you feel free to kill or torture her, further created a special kind of 'atmosphere'.

Most of the team members were affected by this atmosphere, and their morale continued to decline.

If Ella were to go mad or be terrified when captured, they might feel a sense of relief, but it is her nonchalant and desperate demeanor that is most effective at winning hearts.

Mocania sensed the atmosphere, so he pointed his sword at Ella and asked her why she had betrayed him.

Upon hearing this, Ella began to cry. She recounted her relationship with her sister, the humiliation her sister had suffered, and her despair at being unable to go on, only wanting to save her sister's body.

This somber and desperate mood infected many clergy members.

Many of them originally had happy families, and many of them were once considered "superior people".

However, during this period, they could only run away from home and hide in the mountains. Their quality of life was far worse than before, and now they had to live in constant fear.

It's fair to say that they're only holding on by sheer willpower.

At this moment, Mocania keenly realized that things were not going well; if things continued like this, the refugee group that had been formed would fall apart.

"Then let's go save your sister!" Mocania's words stunned many people.

"No way!" Amy was the first to object, her face grim. "Towns is very likely stationed in Cavilla. Are we going there to our deaths?"

They were chased by Towns for more than half a month, and during that time, they had to admit Towns' strength.

Although he was mainly responsible for production before, he has also acquired a great deal of resources over the years.

Both in terms of numerical values ​​and characteristics, they are superior to them.

As for skills, although Towns is relatively weak, he also has the help of the demon within him.

Kurog, who started out as a little devil, spends his days inside Downs' body and, being so bored, focuses solely on combat.

The collaboration between the two brought about a powerful dominance during the Iron Age.

In addition, he also has a special combat team under his command.

Four fictional beings, two whale-like beings, and three swordsmen. Each of them is a relatively strong fighter among the Iron-type.

Under these circumstances, their fleeing group was no match for Towns' team.

Going to Cavilla now is practically suicide, isn't it?
“No, Ella’s actions are correct. We can take advantage of the time difference!” Mocania took out the mirror in his hand. He observed the position of the sun. Based on this, it would not be difficult to set up a delayed ignition device.

"Those people never expected that we, who had been pursued for so long, would be able to launch an effective counterattack."

"Therefore, if we launch a surprise attack on Cavilla in this way, as long as we keep the battle within a certain timeframe, we can complete the operation and quickly relocate!"

"We can't keep running away forever. We need to fight back, and we need to resupply during the fight."

"Whether it's supplies or manpower."

"Ayla, are there any prisons or similar structures near Cavira?" Mocania asked.

At this moment, Ella was already shocked by Mocania's courage. He had betrayed them and tried to use them as sacrifices, but Mocania forgave him and was willing to go with him to save his sister.

“There is a prison, but since it wouldn’t be good to build it in the city, it’s located near Cavira,” Ella immediately said.

“That’s right!” A certain light gleamed in Mocania’s eyes.

"Many clergy are currently in a state of 'imprisonment,' and we can rescue them from prison to gain more manpower."

"Gather strength, mobilize manpower, and then... launch a full-scale counterattack!"

Mocania said all this not only because of Ella's problem, but also because she realized that the morale and faith of the people in the group were wavering due to the long period of escape.

In this situation, we have to do something to boost morale.

Ella's appearance was just a window that showed him what he should do.

Of course, the sibling bond between Ella and his sister also touched him, and he planned to use this opportunity to help Ella atone for her sins and then reintegrate into the team.

After hearing Mocania's explanation, Amy nodded and agreed to Mocania's plan.

After making the decision, they cleared a space in an open area, placed wood and a solar-powered ignition device, calculated the angle of the sunlight, and completed the preparations for a delayed ignition.

They then quietly took a detour and approached Cavilla from the other side.

At that moment, a plume of thick smoke suddenly appeared on the distant mountain ridge, which quickly attracted the attention of Downs and the others.

Everything was proceeding according to plan. They sensed the movement of Downs and his men entering the forest, and after a while, they launched a surprise attack.

With bloodshot eyes, Ella rushed out towards the village entrance.

He's going to save his sister!

However, the next moment, his body was pierced through.

The villager from before was standing not far away.

A black aura flickered in his hand, and some black crystals were condensing in his palm.

The things that pierced Ella's body earlier were these black crystals.

“I knew you would come, Ella!” the villager said, lifting a grotesque, mummified corpse with his other hand.

"Your sister Vera is right here, what are you going to do?!" (End of Chapter)
