Although the mastermind of the Adro Canyon Demon Refinement Plan was the Galuoli Family, it wasn't the only family that was involved.
In order to get as many helpers as possible, the Galuoli Family had secretly visited many nobles and joined forces with them.
Of course, the Galuoli Family made many promises for this.
For example, they would issue a commission to the Adventurers Guild and lure a small team to accept it, luring them into the Adol Canyon.
This was because there was a woman in this team that was hated by many nobles in the capital.
She was the daughter of the Urbeyne Family, the descendant of that infamous sinner.
The Galuoli Family had always viewed the Urbeyne Family as their political enemy. The reason they were persuaded by the Original Devil to carry out the Demon Refinement Plan was to turn the tables and oust the Urbeyne Family and Veradi Family, who were ahead of them.
In this way, the Galuoli Family was more than willing to sacrifice a genius from the Urbeyne Family in exchange for this cooperation.
Hence, the nobles who viewed the descendant of the Urbeyne Family as a thorn in their side decided to help the Galuoli Family.
The old man's Kritz Todi Family was one of them.
In other words, the old man had participated in this plan to kill a woman.
Therefore, compared to the completion of the Demon Refinement Ritual, he was more concerned about whether the woman was dead or not.
However, after a few days, they still couldn't kill the woman.
This was because there was a guardian in the team that the woman was in. Although she wasn't very strong, she was invincible in terms of defense.
"Is it that Vivian again?"
The old man was furious.
In the past, he had relied on his family's power to cause trouble for Tierre more than once, but he was stopped every single time.
Among the people who stopped him were Lily from the Lazahad Family, and the other was said to be a member of the royal family, who had been helping Tierre from behind the scenes.
Apart from these two, the one who helped Tierre the most was Vivian.
Although Vivian wasn't a noble and didn't have a terrifying background, she was very special, so special that she was called the guardian of the kingdom. That was why she could protect a little girl with her abilities alone.
This time, it was the guardian of the kingdom who protected the sinner, causing them to be unable to take her life. This naturally made the old man furious and resentful.
Due to this, when he heard that the royal family's emissary had entered the canyon, he no longer hesitated and started the ritual to start the Demon Refinement Ritual.
This was so that no one in the canyon could leave and become the sacrifice of the Demon Refinement Ritual.
Now, the entire canyon was filled with berserk monsters and alchemy devils. Coupled with the pursuit from the other side, the old man didn't believe that they couldn't take down the other party.
"Jorido."
The old man called for a noble beside him.
"Sir Wasco."
The nobleman named Jeremiah replied immediately.
"Bring some men with you and try to kill that bitch as quickly as possible. Bring her corpse back to me."
The old man, Vasco, ordered in a ruthless voice.
"Jorido" Jorido "Wasco "Many of our peers have volunteered to chase after them, Lord Vasco." Jeremiah nodded.
Hearing this, Jorido didn't say anything and just stared coldly at Jorido.
Jorido shuddered and quickly said, "I've said too much. I'll bring some men over now!"
"Go." Wasco said coldly, "Bring more men and kill those women as soon as possible. I don't want to wait any longer."
"Also, remember Galuoli's reminder. If you encounter the royal family's emissary, don't hold back. Kill him immediately.
"Don't let any more variables appear, understand?"
Vasco's voice told Theodore that he only wanted to hear good news from now on.
Otherwise, he would probably end up in a miserable state.
"I … I understand, Sir Wasco …!"
Jorido gulped, and then scrambled away with a large group of people.
Only then did Vasco lead the remaining nobles to look at the terrifying monster that was still struggling on its deathbed.
The look in his eyes seemed to be reminiscing about something.
Recalling the nightmare of the past and the things he lost in that nightmare, Vasco's face contorted.
"Don't worry, my beloved wife and child."
"Although the culprit has been killed by that emotionless tool, the child with her blood is here now."
"I'll kill her with my own hands. I'll avenge you at all costs."
"I will …"
Vasco's words caused the nobles around him to show a sorrowful expression.
It didn't take long for the sorrow to turn into twisted hatred.
After all, just like Vasco, they had all lost their loved ones in that nightmare.
But the culprit was no longer here.
Therefore, all their hatred was unreasonably placed on Tierre.
In order to punish that person's child and avenge their loved ones, they participated in this rebellious plan.
Even if it meant that they would lose everything.
…
On the other side, Shien and Ai Yi had crossed the outer area of the Adol Canyon and entered the inner area.
"The magic power here seems to be even more astonishing."
Shien felt the huge amount of magic power flowing into the depths of the canyon and muttered.
"This proves that we're getting closer to the center of the ritual."
Ai Yi said so.
"What about Vivian and the others?" Shien asked Ai Yi. "Are we getting closer to them too?"
"Of course." Ai Yi nodded and asked, "Do you think I'll ignore the situation over there in order to solve the demon refinement ritual?"
Shien didn't answer the question.
But Shien was staring at Ai Yi.
That gaze seemed to be saying a sentence.
"You won't?"
That's it.
Ai Yi was instantly enraged.
"Of course I won't!" Ai Yi said indignantly. "Since I've promised you to come and find them, I'll definitely do it even if I'm not interested in those human women."
That's right.
Shouldn't I feel honored?
Shien looked at Ai Yi with disdain, making Ai Yi want to bite him.
Resisting this impulse, Ai Yi said angrily.
"If you want to save those little girls, you'd better hurry. Their position is constantly moving, and they're quite close to the center of the canyon. From this situation, they're either in a hurry or running away."
Hearing this, Shien wanted to slap this girl.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Shien immediately prepared to speed up.
However, before that, waves of extremely obvious hostility and magic power approached from afar, entering the range of Shien's [Enemy Sense] and [Magic Sense].
"This is …"
Shien was startled at first, but then he understood.
Ai Yi also narrowed her eyes.
"Reckless ant."
When this extremely contemptuous words came out of Ai Yi's mouth, Shien shrugged and raised a magic wand.
That was the magic wand that Jacinta gave to Shien.
Not long after …
"Boom!"
Waves of magic power exploded in the distance.
In the next second, countless magic spells came from that direction, shrouding the direction where Shien and Ai Yi were.
