Two Doors

In a way, much of Karwenz's scheme had been exposed once I saw what was happening here.

"A plot with one real and one false strategy? Layered preparations?"

The demons before me were currently constructing a gigantic statue just like two Creator Goddess statues on the frontlines that I had read about in the reports. This was an altar identical to the door on the frontlines.

Chills went down my spine as I started feeling instinctive fear. If my guess was correct, the most likely explanation for this was that this place was another door to the dimensional barrier that was currently being activated!

"…This really is such a familiar tactic…"

My muttering didn't receive any comment in response. It really did feel weird not to have the silly cat around.

[Isn't this the tactic that you're most skilled at? Accounting for the possibility of a loss before the battle even starts so that you always win in the end no matter how your enemy responds.]
