"Regardless of how strong Field Marshal Heatsend is, the devils would not be afraid of death as they do not actually die if they die in any other realm but the dark realm," Ada argued defending the devils.
It was known to all devil worshipers that even if a devil was killed in the card world they do not die but were reborn in the dark realm after a period of sleep in the bosom of the dark realm's will. Devil Feastus that Anna faced and killed inspite her ancestor had killed the same devil in the past was an example of this.
The reason Ada as a human went so far to defend the devils was because they were her tool of vengeance against the Southern Emperor and her family but the idea that the tool that she worshipped to get her revenge was not sharp enough did not sit right with her.
"If you had summoned the devils and their demon army using the devil summoning ritual they had spread across the myriad realm then what you have said would be true. But they are not, they are being invited by a devil summoning ritual modified by our Master.
You see the red light curtain surrounding the vicinity of the dual gate dungeon, on the inside it has turned into a gate connecting card world and dark realm. So, if the devils die there they will die permanently.
pandasnovel.com This is why they are hesitant and afraid of stepping into this world through the gate to face Field Marshal Heatsend in a battle. Don't worry the devils will still fight Field Marshal Heatsend since they can only return home by fulfilling the terms and conditions of their summoning," Arnas explained to Ada why the devils were afraid by revealing that the devil summoning ritual conducted by her was not regular ritual deliberately spread the demon race but a modified one created by their Master.
"I see…" Understanding what was really happening Ada clenched her fist realizing that this devil summoning ritual was not a trap for the Field Marshal but the devil's themselves.
Thinking of this, Ada gritted her teeth because after this incident it would be a miracle if any of the demons or devil from the dark realm would be willing to answer her summons.
Ada's years of effort as a devil worshipper, climbing the ranks in the cult to hold the thigh of the devils, was now at the brink of being tainted with this one incident. Ada could not help but wonder if Arnas was doing this on purpose.
Did her new Master not like her closeness to Devils? Was he trying to ensure his investment in her by closing all of her other options and chaining her to him by making her solely dependent on him?
"Ada, stop obsessing over the devils and don't lose sight of our mission. Once the demon army arrives make use of the chaos to at least get one of your bodies into the dual gate dungeon. Our entire mission depends on this so no mistakes are allowed," seeing Ada space out, Arnas warned her to stop worrying about the devils and focus on their mission.
The mission of the central government forces was to destroy the dual gate dungeon and kidnap the boy. Nowhere in these missions it was mentioned to destroy the Southern capital or kill the southern royal family members.
Though the Central government was a bully it knew its limits. This was why the Central government forces used the modified devil summoning sacrificial ritual rather than the regular one. This was nowhere near enough to justify their actions but enough for them to escape the blame later.
…
"Come out and greet your death."
The Field Marshal's voice thundered within the red light curtain. She had made use of the Soul energy to amplify her voice so that it would reach the devils and demon army standing on the other side of the red light curtain who were hesitating to take a step into the card world having gauged that the final boss was standing right outside.
"Lowly human, don't act cocky. If you really are brave and confident in your strength then why don't you come over here where there is no World's Will suppressing our power and face us," A feminine voice sounded from otherside of the red light curtain.
"Oh, you guys think you are my match if there is no the world's will suppressing your strength? As much as I would like to find an answer to that, I am duty bound to protect this dungeon behind me. So, I am sorry I will have to reject your invitation," Field Marshal replied as her starry eyes uncovered the number of enemies on the other side of the red light curtain gate.
There were a total of 4 devils and each with an personal demon army of 300 demons of the realm ranging from demon lord to demon emperor. The Field Marshal did see the four devils as a threat, let alone the 1200 demons following them.
Getting no response from the devils, Field Marshal said, "Stop overthinking, the fear will only grow in situations like this one. Close your eyes and dive right in, I will make your journey to the afterlife painless and quicker."
With words of the Field Marshal, the four devils on the other side of the red light curtain gate were too enraged for hesitation or fear and directly stepped right into the card world along with their forces.
Stepping into the card world the four devils and their forces immediately felt the suppression of the World's Will. The very next second the 1200 demons that followed the four devils began to sacrifice themselves and the dark red blood from their bodies came together to form a pool of blood before turning into a stream of blood and spreading along the red light curtain gate forming an array formation. As the array formation formed, a blood red dome formed covering the vicinity of the dual gate dungeon isolating the space from the outside world and temporarily making it a part of the dark realm.
Witnessing this development inside the curtain of red light, Arnas who was hiding in the central government hideout cried out aloud, "Not good."
