Even if the king's actions were entirely reasonable, he could not avoid being labeled as "negligent".
In other words, he bears inescapable responsibility in this entire incident.
Moreover, everyone knows that Charles summoned no ordinary "evil god".
The strange phenomena and oppressive aura that arose when the "Demon God's" will awakened all indicate that Xiu is definitely not ordinary.
However, due to the old king's forceful actions, the matter was not clarified at the time. Everyone was waiting for the old king's answer.
What exactly is Charles trying to summon (an evil god)?
What "evil god" could have driven those remnants of the demon race to risk so much danger, even to the point of sacrificing themselves?
But what was the final outcome? Where did the summoned "evil god" go?
Although Charles said that his summoning had ultimately failed, people could not simply believe him just because he said that.
Moreover, Charles still has a "Demon King" parasitizing his body! One of them is a "Demon King" who returned from the underworld.
One is an "evil god" that exudes such a terrifying aura.
If these two are to be considered enlightened P, then ubao is popular because tomorrow is the last day of the "World Cup" matches, so many people...
They were given a day.
Even if nothing is found out on this day, there is still Hermes, the "god," who will be awakened by the real "summoning ceremony"!
Leave everything to God to decide.
But Dark still came.
……
As the true "victim" in this incident, Dakdimon's visit is perfectly justified.
Moreover, he was merely the son of a duke, not the duke himself, so it's not unreasonable to escalate the issue.
Therefore, the old king had no reason to refuse Dak's visit. He glared at Charles and then ordered his men to bring Dak in.
As Dak marveled at King Austin's "understanding," he walked into the camp.
Laura followed behind like an ordinary maid, without lurking in the shadows. Soon, Dark arrived at the door of a completely sealed chamber. This chamber was heavily guarded, with knights of the kingdom and court mages lining the path.
The knights were fully armed and their expressions were hidden, but the court mages all looked very solemn and serious.
Everyone knows that the "Demon King" is living inside Charles. No one can take the "Demon King" lightly.
However, the "Demon King" was in a very weak state.
The court mage judged that it was because Charles had been absorbing the knowledge and power of the "Demon King" for a long time.
When asked, Charles said he didn't know. He truly didn't know.
During the ritual, his consciousness was basically in a state of chaos and madness, and he had no idea that the soul of "Demon King No. 3" had exhausted its power to resist the "Demon God's" absorption, and thus became what it is now.
(Demon King No. 3) had just begun to awaken from his "hibernation state" when he was plunged back into a "coma state," which was quite tragic.
However, if the "Demon King No. 3" is not dealt with before he wakes up from his coma, the "reincarnation and possession" process will begin.
By then, it will truly be too late.
Charles was neither a hero nor a saint; his soul was quite ordinary. Once absorbed and possessed, even a forced separation would result in a G-rank.
Based on this, the court sorcerer sealed the soul of "Demon King No. 3".
However, those who frequently seal the soul of the "Demon King" know that this method of sealing can only suppress the speed at which the "Demon King's" soul recovers; it is merely a temporary measure.
After today.
The old king will likely request someone from the Holy Church to deal with the "Demon King's" soul. After all, the Holy Church is indeed very experienced in this matter.
"sit."
When the old king saw Dak enter, he pointed to the chair next to him. Dak did not stand on ceremony and sat down directly in the chair next to him.
This secret room was originally used for "private talks" and was equipped with a high-level shielding and defense barrier. Now it has been converted into an "interrogation room," which can be considered to make the best use of the space.
The furnishings inside the secret room were not luxurious, but they were quite exquisite.

Charles sat opposite him, showing no outward signs of being "imprisoned." However, there were inscribed magic circles under his chair, and hidden seals on his wrists, ankles, and neck prevented his magic from flowing and suppressed his thoughts to a certain extent, preventing him from having the idea of "escaping."
However, he didn't seem to have any intention of "escaping." The environment of this secret room was really comfortable.
Darke and Charles met eyes, and Darke smiled and nodded politely. Charles's eyes flickered, but his expression remained unchanged.
The old king spoke first, but addressed to Dak: "Charles said you disappeared during the ceremony. The maids of the Zodiac searched the whole city but couldn't find you. Thankfully you are safe and sound, otherwise I would feel guilty." He appeared concerned, but actually wanted to ask where Dak had gone.
Dark's gaze remained fixed on Charles's face. He then confessed, "Seeing things were going badly, I entered the subspace and escaped through the Dark Crystal Cave."
The old king of "Warspace" raised an eyebrow, as if remembering something, and nodded, saying, "That's a really good method. No wonder no one can find you."
Dak smiled.
Although he kept the construction of the "Magical Kingdom" a secret, the sheer scale of the project required an enormous amount of manpower and resources, making it impossible to keep it a secret from everyone.
He was certain the king knew.
But what good does knowing do?
Dark said, "The ritual had just begun when I escaped from the Dark Crystal Cave. But I already felt immense terror. What kind of ritual was that?"
Charles remained expressionless and silent.
The old king spoke on his behalf: "Charles said it was a ritual to awaken the gods, but it awakened an evil god."
Dark frowned and asked, "Which evil god?"
The old king said, "He only told me not long ago that it was the 'Dark Destruction Demon God.'"
The "Dark Destruction Demon God" is a well-known evil god in legends.
His legend is from a very distant time, and has become somewhat distorted over time. However, this world is full of wonders, and there are many libraries like St. Marian's Academy. Therefore, although distorted, the accounts are not too far off and can still serve as a reference.
In mythology, the "Dark Destruction Demon God" is formed by the fusion of two gods: the "Dark Demon God" and the "Destruction Demon God." They were already terrifying evil gods on their own, let alone after their fusion.
The "Dark Destruction Great Demon God" also possesses a divine kingdom called "Great Demon Realm," which is said to be a vast divine kingdom no less than Heaven or Hell.
If it is a demon god of this rank, it seems reasonable for it to exude that terrifying aura.
Furthermore, since Charles does indeed possess a magic card called "Dark Destruction Great Demon God," everything seems to have become real.
If Dark hadn't known him so well, he might have been fooled. "It seems Charles is determined to hide the matter of the Demon God," Dark thought to himself.
The "Dark Destruction Great Demon God" may be a demon god no less powerful than the "Demon God." However, given its ancient existence, it is only passed down through myths and legends, making it essentially a vague concept.
Summoning the "Dark Destruction Demon God" is just like summoning an "Evil God" to destroy the world; it's a huge mistake, but it's still just a huge mistake.
This is fundamentally different from summoning the "Demon God".
The former's world-ending threat is like a "slogan," while the latter's world-ending threat is a real attempt to destroy the world!
Awakening the "God of Demons" is tantamount to annihilating humanity. Charles cannot bear this guilt.
...
The conversation continued inside the sealed room.
Dak gradually confirmed his thoughts from the sidelines.
The [Demon God] holds an extremely high position and is an incredibly terrifying god. A god of this caliber cannot be easily destroyed as depicted in the game.
This is also why he has always had doubts about "being the main body of the demon god".
But now it seems that at least it is certain that "I am the main body of the demon god", and the power of the "demon god" is also certain.
That is, there are differences between the game's storyline and the real world.
A game is just a game; it's virtual, it's fake, it's just a record of an explanation.
Just like myths and legends, they may be "distorted" due to various factors.
This "distortion" is actually already evident in Dacker's daily experiences.
The so-called game storyline is very likely a legend that will be formed from this experience in the world at some point in the future.
As story writers, it is inevitable that they will adapt the story for various reasons.
For example, the game's scope is limited, and it should end when the protagonist graduates, so the demon god who just appeared dies.
Of course, the demon god might have just awakened and not been fully resurrected before being defeated by the hero.
Dak had never actually played it and knew little about it.
In short, Charles makes no mention of the "Demon God".
As a "victim" who ran away when the ritual took effect, Dak certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to mention it.
From his position, he shouldn't know about the "Demon God," so he naturally had to pretend that he didn't know about the "Demon God."
This way, Charles can feel confident and bold in compiling the book.
As for the details of the ceremony, and the information he wanted to know more about, it was impossible to ask in the presence of the king. Therefore, he had to create an occasion where only he and Charles were present. Only then could he learn more of the information he wanted. And given the current situation, creating such an environment wouldn't be too difficult.
Dak thought about it for a moment and came up with a solution.
He whispered something to the old king, then walked out of the secret chamber with him and entered another room.
After entering the room, the king raised his hand to dismiss the guards and said kindly, "You can ask me anything you want. I am very sorry that you were put in such a crisis this time. I will make it up to you after this is over."
Dak did have a question he really wanted to ask, but it wasn't the right place to ask it.
So he simply smiled, then pursued and extracted E's soul, sealing it away forever.
The Holy Church is indeed very experienced in dealing with the "Demon King".
However, St. Marian Academy's experience in dealing with the "Demon King" incident is equally impressive.
Moreover, unlike the farcical situation the Holy Church made with the "Demon King Execution Ritual," St. Marian Academy's method was far more practical and effective.
Dark revealed some taboos, stating that the "demon" within Charles was actually revealed during the execution ritual.
The Demon King's soul, reborn within his body, then traveled through the underworld before returning to be reborn into Charles's body.
"Then where is the real Demon King?" The question was left unanswered, only hinted at.
Dak believed the king would definitely investigate.
Regardless of whether he liked Charles or wanted to save him, as a king, he had to maintain a facade in this regard.
After that, all Dark needs to do is reveal a little bit of the truth, such as letting him trace back to the existence of the Demon King Aleister, and he will naturally believe the truth he has found.
Then Dak's cooperation with the King can begin.
By using the fact that he was treating Charles, he could gain the opportunity to be alone with Charles.
Moreover, this is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy. What Dark really wants is "Demon King Number Three"!
Everything that needed to be asked and done has been done.
Dak did not stay at the royal residence any longer.
After he took his leave, he went straight back to the secret base of "Scorpio Palace" and spent half an hour summarizing intelligence.
This incident has essentially come to a temporary close. His most pressing task is to detach himself from it and perfectly portray himself as a "passerby."
In this incident, he merely played the role of rescuing a fallen person. The success or failure of the ritual was irrelevant to him.
He didn't return from the warp until an hour after the ceremony ended.
This is an absolute fact that no one can deduce from being wrong.
Regardless of whether anyone continues to investigate in the future, it will be impossible to trace it back to him.
After summarizing the intelligence, Dak picked up his pen and gently wrote two words on the paper.
--"unknown."
There was interference from an "unknown factor" in this incident. This was the question he desperately wanted to ask the king when they were alone. After reincarnating, "Demon King Number Three" chose to enter a self-regulated state of hibernation.
That was a state that even Demon Lord Aleister and Demon Lord Aldrich couldn't perceive.
How could Charles possibly discover that the soul of "Demon King Number Three" was hidden within his own?
None of this would have happened if he hadn't discovered the soul of "Demon King Number Three".
