Chapter 5: The Sign To The Light

Episode 1: The Looming Evil/Upcoming Devil's Hand

The night sky, where the airship flew, was engulfed in pitch-black darkness. Originally shining stars should be covering the night sky, but dark clouds can stand in the night sky. In contrast to the brilliant streets of the King's capital, the sky is black.

As if it were to blend into such a night sky, the headquarters of the giant Black Mages (Grigori) Knights is seated. Its appearance that blends into the dark night is just a shadow. It may also be possible that members of the 146-year-old rebels who created this new world are lurking themselves in the Knights.

There was a black moon floating far above the dark clouds that could stand in, as if to incite such anxiety. It would at least be salvation that people never see an ominous symbol. Are the Bells expecting difficulties from now on?

A boat flying from the southern sky descends to an airport located southwest of Wangdu.

In it, I'm sure Lili and the others are there. Unlike the Sertrian Airlines airship, which departs on time, the Knights' airship can fly quickly. Perhaps the Knights have been in this king's capital for a long time and are discussing future operations.

"Ah, I'm tired!

Lili, coming down from the airship, is yawning heavily, looking tired and cut. Usually at this hour, she sleeps easily in bed.

"You had a hard time late. My mother and Lilith are in a lot of trouble, too."

"Huh? How do you know?

To sympathetic Isaac, Lili sends a cold gaze. Lili didn't tell Isaac anything that happened at Valentis. Isaac's words awakened Lili's drowsiness.

"Stop that eye... while I was sleeping, I heard it in my dreams from“ that senior. "And then I got instructions for the future."

"Ahhhhh..."

"Lady, don't say that name cheaply. You don't know where and who's listening, do you?

The reason Isaac found out about what happened to Lili in Valentis was in Elba. By a force so similar to Dreamer, Isaac was in contact with Elba in his dreams.

And the fact that Elba says he still exists is a top secret that only rebels know.

"Ah... well. So, where do you rendezvous with the Bells?

"I had originally decided where, but things have changed. Before Bell gets on the airship, he falls down and says he won't wake up."

"What does that mean?"

Bell, who collapsed before boarding the airship at Valentis, remains awake even when he arrives at Elixis. Lili, who vividly remembers Belle's appearance, who was also worn out and healthy, could not believe the fact.

"He used his wife's hand unconsciously and the recoil was pretty nasty. Looks like he's in Elixis Central Hospital now."

Bell awakening beyond its limits. The consideration paid for that awakening was driving the new revolt crazy as soon as possible. You need to get out of the hands of the Knights because it's Knight and Bell.

"No... I'll be right at Bell's."

"Lady, calm down. It's late today. You must be tired. Besides, you're not going to get that kid around so late."

"But............... I get it. I'll be home today."

Isaac stops Lili from going to Central Hospital the day six rebels gather in Valentis. Not only did things happen to Belle and Knight, but to Lili as well. Rest is the top priority now.

He seemed to want to see how Bell was doing with his own eyes as soon as possible, but Lili decided to accept Isaac's suggestion.

"All right! That's the line the seniors wanted from the lady! I'll rendezvous with Knight first. When the lady is tomorrow, go visit him at Bell's. Then we'll meet up. There's got to be a more detailed explanation in the dream."

"Okay! See you tomorrow."

"Ooh."

Bell is physically worn out, but Lili and Knight are mentally fatigued. The new rebels are required to rest and renew their minds. Only Bell is going to rest slower than the rest of the rebels.

Then Lili and Allen went straight back to the house where Loco waited. She took a moment to get home as she pulled Allen walking utout rubbing her sleepy eyes. No, no, Allen fell into bed and fell asleep.

"Mr. Lili, wasn't it too late? What happened to you? I was worried. Where's Mr. Bell?

Rocco didn't sleep, waiting for Lili and the others to come home. Apparently, Judy hasn't come back to this house yet. No one knows where she went when she fell in the desert.

"... Bell's in Central Hospital."

"Isn't that important that the Knights didn't just erase their memories?

Naturally, Rocco immediately realized that there was no Belle next to Lili. Knowing that Bell was trying to find out the secrets of the Knights, she doesn't doubt Bell's hospitalization because of it.

"No, you know..."

"The director of Central Hospital is a member of the M-12. Mr. Bell, are you sure you're okay..."

"Is that true ⁉?"

"Yes. Dean Ashley Norbember is partitioning Central Hospital."

And a new fact to be revealed. The director of the hospital where Bell will be hospitalized is M-12. Maybe the Knights aren't going to wake up the bells that remain unconscious.

"You can't do that."

"Are you going now? ⁉"

"... I'll do it tomorrow"

"That's right. I've been out all day, so you must be tired."

Lili, busily trying to keep moving, became calm for a moment, as Isaac told her. Sleeping overnight doesn't mean Bell will be gone from the hospital. Sometimes calm is the key to making things go well. Even if Lili, who is mentally exhausted, doesn't rest and move, she just goes empty.

"I said that then, but I can't believe what you said about Mr. Rocco..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?

"Ah... no, don't worry about it ~ haha"

Even though Lili said she was going to the hospital now, Rocco would have dated her. With that in mind, Lili accidentally spoke the truth. She has always helped for Lili. One of the few in the Knights, trustworthy.

"Get some rest and go to Central Hospital in the morning!

Yes, sir.

Even at the dawn of the night with disturbing air, the sky was not neat. The streets of Wangdu, closed by clouds over the sky even when it was bright, also seemed heartless or bonyari and sumptuous.

From one day to one dawn, when there was an unknown and historically significant movement, members of the M-12 had been convened in the conference room of the Knights headquarters. Knight, who was returning to Elixis, naturally responds to Gregorian's emergency convocation and sits in a conference room chair. Is the convocation at this time something that has anything to do with yesterday's incident?

"There is nothing else that has brought you together urgently this time. Regarding Judy Argin's execution."

When Gregorio opens his mouth, the purpose of this M-12 emergency convocation is revealed. Knight, knowing that it was not on the agenda to restart Elba, leaked a breath of relief without changing his expression in any way.

"Ihihi... I wonder if I can worship the body of the beautiful Judy Argin. I'm excited."

"Julai, take a good look, there's no" executioner of wind flames "here, is there?

"What... is that what you're saying, Augusto?"

With a slightly distorted sexuality, Julai expects Judy's body to be brought into this conference room, but on the contrary, it became clear that there was no sign of an M-12 member. As Augusto suggests, there are fewer M-12s in the conference room than usual.

"As you already know, two Ales March, Uni Jun, who headed to execute Judy Argin, still won't return"

⁉ ︎

"That means..."

"Are you saying that March and Jun were paying back?"

With that Gregorian statement, the M-12 begins to saunter. Only the best of the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) have been collected in the M-12. If such a member of the M-12 was killed by a Knights at one end, that would be a huge lapse.

"Relax. I don't know anything about it yet. It takes time to get information outside of the Kingdom of Sertria."

"So you're saying that Gregorian supervision is out of range."

"That's the thing. I don't see what happened in the desert."

Here, a single scale of the ability of the enigmatic Gregorio was revealed. Knights Commander Gregorio has supervision (Supervision), and to look at it from the conversation we have now, he will say that he can get some idea of what happened in Serbia. For example, Gregorio may already know that Elba has made a full move.

"Merch and Jun." Hey, that's the strongest combination I've ever been afraid of. "The black magician of the water can beat the fat out of you."

"Oktober. Forbidden to be alarmed. Judy Argin was involved with that mysterious Phineas Taylor Joker."

"Heh! What's with the Trump Circus? They shouldn't even be at our feet."

"The chronic mind that says so will eventually destroy itself. ⁉

I'm stronger than any of those clowns, no matter what they say.

Luxurious Oktober and careful September argue. September never underestimated Judy's strength against Oktober, who believed in the absolute strength of the M-12 and did not doubt it.

"Relax, both of you. Believe in the strength of the two and wait until today for March and Jun to return. If you don't come back by the end of the day, let's think about what to do."

"In the unlikely event that it takes two M-12 men to kill one woman, it's a big problem."

"Sure... if March and Jun lost to just one Judy Argin, it's a matter of M-12 dignity. There may be a revolt in the wake of this one."

"If the executioner was executed, I'm sorry for the laughter."

Strict febraries also tuned into Oktober fearing this development. There's nothing wrong with March and Jun returning safely, but if they don't come back like this, M-12's position will be in jeopardy.

"That's exactly what I wanted to tell you in this emergency call. Our Knights are about to face an unprecedented threat. Recently, the members' treachery has increased and the Knights are in a state of instability. Don't miss any suspicious moves of the team."

In that one word of Gregorio, the conference room again squeaks out. Until now, the M-12 has reigned over the rest of the regiment as an absolute being. The return of March and Jun was of great significance now that the organization was on the verge of becoming unstable.

"Speaking of suspicious moves, Captain Dissenber. What was the suspicious person witnessed in Valentis after all?

"Isn't this just the right opportunity for a mission report, Dissenber?

……………

When the story comes to a paragraph, a serious september cuts out a new topic. Following September, Gregorio also wanted to know about Valentis' suspicious figure.

Maybe Gregorio is going to expose Knight's betrayal in this gathering place of the M-12.

As time went by, disturbing signs were approaching Adford, the western city of the Kingdom of Serbia. About four months after the big fire, the reconstruction was going well. Although reconstruction is progressing, there are many buildings covered in tents for construction, and the depth of scars left by Belzebub can be asked.

Something's wrong with Adford this morning. The western capital was surrounded by spooky tranquility. I don't see anyone walking around the town of Adford that's getting back to life, to say the least.

Whereas I don't see people, I don't even hear a slight sound. The streets of Adford this morning are still ghosttown.

"... weird. No sign of a living human being."

There was one man, walking in such a quiet town. It's Raven Gopher, a millionaire who should have disappeared.

Eleven years ago, a millionaire who was supposed to have been deprived of his body by a demon, looks like he didn't eat anything and walks. Raven Gopher's skin was supposed to have been dyed green all over his body by advancing erosion (Illusion), but now he was back before he was possessed by Belzebub.

Naturally it is the demon Belzebub who is moving Raven Gopher's body. I guess it's easy for the devil to temporarily change his appearance.

Belzebub came down to this town for only one reason. It's Jake Hausent's annihilation.
