He took the bait.
The bell that signaled the start of the hunt began to ring.
Yumidas was overjoyed.
As one of the survivors of the battle with the Demon King's Army 15 years ago, he thought he knew the horror of the Demon King's Army better than anyone else.
Therefore, even though he became the bishop of the new Church because of his qualification as a hero who survived the battle with the Demon King's Army, he still couldn't sleep and eat every day, fearing that the Demon King's Army would suddenly come back one day.
Until half a year ago, his fear came true.
The demons who had disappeared emerged from all corners of the world, regrouped into the Demon King's Army, and began to attack the human empires.
Although many people who had experienced that era felt that the Demon King's Army this time was not as strong as 15 years ago, many empires were swept into the garbage heap of history before they could even react.
This time, the battle between the demon king's army and the humans was not one-sided. Instead, they fought back and forth. Fifteen years ago, even with the help of the nameless hero, the humans won the final victory through the decapitation operation. But in the overall situation until the end of the war, the humans did not gain the slightest advantage. If the demon king had not gone missing (rumor had it that he was killed by the nameless hero, but Yumidas did not believe this) and the entire demon king's army fell apart, the humans would not have been able to defeat the demons and become the final victors.
Therefore, Yumidas believed that the only reason the Demon King's Army had not gained an overwhelming advantage was that the other party had not yet become serious.
Therefore, when an advanced demon found him and asked him to become a spy of the demons in the new church, he agreed without hesitation and accepted the baptism of the 'Cup of Darkness', turning into a demon as well.
As a bishop, it was difficult for Yumidas to continue to climb up in the Church. However, the new Church had just been re-established, and its foundation was not as strong as it was 15 years ago. Therefore, if he could gain enough merits, there was still the possibility of continuing to be promoted, such as discovering and eliminating a large number of demons hiding among the humans.
He had once asked the superior demon who had instigated him. The superior demon said that 90% of the demons who did not join the Demon King's Army had already given up the glory of being demons. Not only had their fighting spirit disappeared, but they were also indulging in the fantasy of loving humans. They no longer had the qualifications to continue living. As long as he could find them, it did not matter even if they were all wiped out.
In this regard, Yumidas was very happy: First of all, it would be easier to eliminate the scattered demons than to face them head-on on the battlefield — whether it was the Demon King's Army or the Salvation Army.
Not only would he be able to gain a lot of merits during the war, but he would also be able to make it so that no one would suspect that this' hero of humanity 'was actually a traitor!
The last point was that after he demonized, the power awakened in his body was not the usual physical strengthening, nor was it a variety of magical abilities. Instead, it was a powerful perception and insight ability.
It was because of this that he was able to find the demons hidden in the crowd.
This time was also the same. After arriving here, he immediately sensed the aura of a demon in the nearby town. Moreover, it was the kind of demon that was very bad at concealing his aura. It was like a clumsy novice that could only vaguely conceal his aura.
After some investigation, Yumidas set his sights on the man named Finn's wife.
She was quite a beauty. Even in the capital of the Frost Eagle Empire, such a beautiful woman was rare. Moreover, with her unique temperament, no matter how you looked at it, she did not seem like an ordinary person.
He had caught a big fish. Yumidas's experience told him so.
As for the man named Finn, Yumidas did not put him in his eyes at all. His ability allowed him to understand that Finn was a pure human, and as a demon worshipper, why would Yumidas be afraid of a good human?

When Eleena took the lead to break into the Church, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"... An identification and binding magic circle?"
Silver metal was embedded in the limestone floor, forming a huge and beautiful magic circle on the ground of the Church.
At this moment, light like electric current was flashing on the silver metal like a track, indicating that the magic circle was in operation.
Chains invisible to the naked eye appeared out of thin air and bound the woman at the entrance.
Then, dozens of missionaries rushed in from the aisle behind the Church's main hall, holding all kinds of weapons that were smeared with holy oil, facing the woman who looked extremely unhappy.
"The magic circle is black..." Yumidas walked out from the back, glancing at the color of the magic circle under Eleena's feet. It was a kind of black that could not see any color, extremely pure black, "There is no doubt that our Miss Eleena is a demon."
Some of the missionaries who had received help from Finn's family could not help but waver.
"Where is my daughter Eileen?"
Eleena did not pay attention to Yumidas' words, only coldly looking at the middle-aged man who was spouting nonsense and asked.
"You don't have the right to ask … Although I really want to say this, as the daughter of a demon like you, it's a pity that that little girl will also be sent to the headquarters of the Church, the Holy Land of Lowell, for trial. Based on past experience, she will probably be skinned alive and turned into a specimen for people to see."
Yumidas did not feel the hostility in the woman's eyes, instead continuing to provoke her.
But when he saw that Eleena did not waver at all, he could not help but smack his lips in disappointment, "Have you already given up resisting? Forget it, let me see what kind of demon you are. You can't even hide your own scent... "
As he spoke, he activated the magic circle's identification ability.
In the next moment, a pitch-black flame rose from the ground, evaporating all the holy silver that was used to construct the magic circle. What replaced it was as thick as a substance, as black as the night, and unable to be blown away or dispelled.
"... Indeed, it's my fault for not being able to hide my scent." In the darkness, Eleena's voice seemed to come from the abyss, causing everyone present to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, "After all, as the former Demon King, it took me a lot of effort to suppress my power to the level of an ordinary demon."
