Complications

These documents shows that this church of Arukatha is a sham, but a cult. A cult for a Hellkin named Ignyesa.

Ignyesa is a female Hellkin that is known to be one of the most powerful Hellkin to exist. She is one of the few Hellkins that has reached Demon Empress, the equivalent to Demon Emperor which is the second highest evolution stage. However, she is the only being to wield Chaos Magic above Tier XX.

Despite that power, she cannot defeat Erukeza, the Goddess of Protection that has presumably lost her godhood. Any low ranking Deity is comparable to facing a Demon God or a Seraphim Prime. Therefore, Ignyesa cannot defeat her and was sealed.

However, this document shows that Ignyesa can be summoned by killing a total of 10,000 people regardless of race each time when a Blood Moon appears, possess 1000 Dark Magic Crystals no less than U rank, kill 1000 Human Saints, kill 1000 Celestines possessing Angels no lower than Principalities in a Solar Eclipse, and kill 50 Heroes in a Lunar Eclipse.

Shit, even if a Demon Duke happens to enter this realm, continents would be turned into wastelands. But if Ignyesa ever happens to enter, this world might as well be signing their final will.

"So, did anything catch your fancy?" Miura said.

"Y'all heard of Ignyesa?" I asked.

"Who doesn't?" Miura scoffed. "Even most of the Material Dwellers know her."

"Every Hellkin knows who she is." Islero said.

"It's common knowledge, y'know." Espada said.

"Then, you know about Erukeza, right?" I asked.

Miura furrowed her eyebrows and began gnashing her teeth.

"Yeah...that bitch kept us in a tight leash and hung us from it." Miura seethed. "Killed thousands of us and kept us trapped in there, preventing us from entering or leaving. Even the most vile mortal was sent into the Celestial Realm."

"Enough of me seething, what does it say?" Miura said, returning to her calm, bored expression.

"It said that they're gonna summon Ignyesa by killing a total of 100,000 people in a blood moon." I answered.

"Blood Moon...sacrifice...ah, it's happening right now." Espada said.

[Attention. Blood Moon has begun. Hellkin and Undead are strengthened. Blood Arts strengthened.]

Not good, they might've been doing the massacre now!

"Mavros! Saeva!" I exclaimed. The two emerged from the shadows.

"We're heading back." I stood back up and opened the portal again towards Nolten Village, fearing the deaths of. Espada stood in front of me, blocking my way.

"If you're going back there, you don't have to worry. They're heading back." Espada said. "Look."

I looked into the portal and see Arkaon's army heading back to where they came. No blood, no tears, no lives lost.

"They're still under my charms even after my mist was already gone." Espada said. "When my charm ends, they'll keep going."

As I see them march away, my biggest fear immediately vanished. But I know for a fact they'll come again. For this, I know a kingdom and church that truly despises corruption.

Virdana, the Elven Kingdom where it is past Aria's village. Past the mountains, there will be a forest that is not as daunting as Dystoark when it came to monsters, but it is enchanted. Meaning, it will deter anyone that is not an elf from entering and render my Polymorph useless.

To enter the kingdom, one must be an elf. But if anyone other than an elf wants to enter, they must have an elf designated to guide them.

How am I gonna get there? I have Xydrid to fly me there and Zala to go along the way in the forest.

"So, what's next?" Miura said. "If you tell us to kill them, we'll do it."

Miura summoned a small black flame from her fingertips and spins it around.

"No, that'll complicate things." I said, shaking my head. Miura then extinguished the flame.

"I'll be going to the Virdana Kingdom to show them these." I said.

"That place is enchanted by Elves and Heavenkins. Once we set foot in there, they'll notice right away." Islero said. "The Elves there hate corruption with a passion."

"I'll think of something." I said, but right now, I should have some shut eye. I climbed onto the bed and laid down. The bed creaked from my muscular body as an oni.

"Ya'll can stay in this realm until the sun rises. Try not to make too much noise." I said.

"Aww...the night is still young." Espada climbs on top of me and sits on top of my crotch. "But if you do sleep, I'll give you a nice dream."

"How about no?" I said. "G'night."

I soon fell asleep.

"Hmph, how boring." Espada pouts and jumps off. "Fine, we'll be outside."

The night goes by without issue and droplets began hitting the leaves.

Soon, the rain began falling.

{Meanwhile...Ashley's POV}

The moon turned red and now a storm is brewing. But that's alright. If I can get to Alden, I'll have a better chance of understanding something.

*BRAKOOM!!*

A flash of light illuminates the sky and the thunder boomed after, shaking the sky. However, I didn't flinch in any way. My goal is to get to get to Alden, everything else is temporary.

"The only problem is that a hero has awakened. If I continue my course, I'll be safe from a distance." I thought to myself.

But since I know Heroes can do some miraculous things, they might even shoot me out of the sky. For that, I used my Lightning and Wind Magic to propel myself to gain a greater distance.

I know that I could exhaust myself quicker, but once I reach the Telgrin Mountains, the hero will have no choice to climb and fight monsters.

Also, once I get stronger, I'll be able to fight the hero if need be.
