Although the setting says that this text is written in the devil's language, he didn't want to read this setting at first, so he didn't know what this sentence meant.

Afterwards, he pulled out an item from his waist pocket that had been dropped by the Dead Priest and Paladin after he defeated them.

These are said to be the flesh and blood of demons scattered throughout the underground dungeon.

The flesh was bright red in color, and sometimes it would wriggle on its own. This made Lin Yinxi feel very similar to the animal liver he had seen online.

"Tsk, animal livers don't move on their own."

Lin Yinxi murmured softly and placed a piece of demon's flesh and blood on the book, and the Demon's Book slowly absorbed it.

No, it's the two combined into one, the devil is rising from the dead.

The same thing happened with the second piece of flesh. The Demonic Book slowly absorbed the flesh and blood it came into contact with, and after absorbing it, it stopped changing, and the color of the cover became a little redder than at the beginning.

that's enough.

Lin Yinxi put away the Book of Demons and put it into the bag he brought with him.

Now, before returning to the Knights, we only need to find one more thing, and the preparations for conquering the lord will be complete.

"Isn't it two levels higher now?"

Lin Yinxi spent a moment calculating the experience he had gained so far. The experience gained from the Dullahan alone was probably enough to raise him by about two levels.

If that's not enough, you can return to the Knights and level up briefly.

When he returned, he chose to crawl through the narrow hole again, because the sealed door could not be opened at all. It was not originally built for entry and exit.

When Lin Yinxi stood up again, the dead walking around looked at him with their rotten, mushy eyes, but did not try to attack as before.

This is because of the Demonic Book in his hand.

Because they are all resurrected from the dead using the flesh and blood of demons, it is of course impossible for them to attack someone holding the Book of Demons.

Moreover, they could not sense any powerful divine power from him. The dead would only think that he was a devil worshipper who had found the Book of Demons in order to unseal the devil.

Lin Yinxi looked at the dead gathered around him in a daze, then turned and walked in the opposite direction, not the way he came.

With the Book of Seals in hand, these monsters were like guinea pigs at the mercy of others, but he didn't want to take the risk of killing them.

If you are unlucky, what if the Demon Book absorbs an extra piece of flesh and blood?

When holding the Book of Demons, even if you kill them, the demon flesh and blood will not drop as items, but will be immediately absorbed by the book. Therefore, if you are not careful, Lin Yinxi's previously formulated lord strategy plan will be completely disrupted.

Furthermore, even if you kill them without dropping flesh, they will resurrect. Furthermore, the experience gained will gradually decrease. Starting from the first round, the experience gained from each kill will be reduced by 20%.

Even at his current level, using them to level up would be a waste of time. There were many more efficient places to level up than here.

"Demons are all poor."

The road was winding and although he met many dead people along the way, they just looked at him blankly and did nothing.

I don’t know how far I have advanced, but after Lin Yinxi kicked away the dead man blocking his way without hesitation, the end finally appeared before his eyes.

It's a dead end.

027. Meanwhile

"The remains... are indeed here."

Before him, a withered skeleton leaned against the wall, having been dead for who knows how many years. He was one of the priests sent by the Holy Kingdom to suppress the demons.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and unlike other priests, his body did not resurrect as a monster like other dead people, but turned directly into bones. He must have been a very powerful priest when he was alive.

Lin Yinxi approached the skeleton and carefully searched his clothes until he found some sharp object near his waist. He stopped and picked it up.

What he was holding in his hand at this moment was an ordinary-looking dagger.

The dagger forged with divine power has shown no signs of rust after many years and remains sharp.

In the game, this equipment may have an affix name such as "Blessing of XX".

"I can pick it up... Although even if I could use it now, I wouldn't be able to unleash its power."

Lin Yinxi carefully put it into his arms. If the Demon Book was the key item to lure the lord, then this dagger was the key item to deal with the lord after being seduced.

There's nothing of value here now.

Just like when he came, he kicked away the dead who were staring at him blankly and doing nothing, and walked for a long time before coming out.

It was already late at night and the surroundings were completely dark.

He raised the torch to illuminate the surroundings and approached where the horses were.

The horse, which was tied obediently to a tree, neighed when it saw him. Lin Yinxi stroked its mane, untied the bag, and tied it to the saddle.

Now it's time to return to the Order and slay that lord.

Meanwhile, in a room decorated with various sacred objects, a woman opened her eyes.

There was no light source in the room, but the light from the full moon poured through the stained glass on the entire wall, illuminating the entire room and making it not dark at all.

The woman stood up and walked to the window, clasping her hands quietly in front of her chest. A sacred power mixed with yellow and white emerged from her crossed hands.

I don’t know how long that power was there, but the door suddenly opened and a woman with a smile on her face walked in.

"Your Holiness? I wonder if you—"

"The devil's seal has been broken."

"what?!"

The woman covered her mouth with her right hand, appearing surprised by the words of the man she called the Pope. However, her expression was not genuine and appeared to be merely a feign of surprise.

"Where's the seal? Everything in our Holy Kingdom is strictly regulated...it must be from the Empire, right?"

"Yeah, that's it."

"Are we going to capture the one who broke the seal? Or are we going to subdue the demon?"

The being known as His Holiness the Pope shook his head slightly.

"That's not necessary, because there is light there too."

"Light... well, I know. But I can't trust that woman."

"She is the wielder of the Holy Sword. The devil is no match for her. Don't worry."

"I suppose so... Although he's a bit unreliable, he's the wielder of the Holy Sword after all. So, if we don't capture the one who broke the seal and defeat the demon, then what are you calling me for?"

“I just wanted to convey this fact.

I didn't realize this until today when the demon seal was broken. Although the seal has been broken, the demon's power has been greatly weakened.

Even our novice nun can handle that demon with ease now."

"Even so, it doesn't mean anything to the people of the Empire, right? Even if the demons are weakened, without faith, they can never be killed.

It would be a good thing if they could not give the demon any extra power in this matter."

The Pope nodded, her long curly hair falling to the ground in a wave of golden hair.

"Then I will tell the children that we will not wage a holy war against the demons, but it is possible, so please train harder than usual. Is this enough, Your Holiness?"

"Well, that's enough."

After hearing the Pope's answer, the woman turned around and prepared to leave, but as if she remembered something, she screamed "Ah!" and turned around again.

"Your Holiness, may I ask you another question?"

"Ask whatever you want."

"If a holy war is launched in the future, what should we do with the guy who broke the seal of the demon?"

The woman who asked the question narrowed her emerald eyes, and there was an extremely cruel light flashing in her eyes, as if she contained an extremely sadistic heart.

"Please do as you wish. I will not interfere, Inquisitor."

"As you wish."

The woman known as the Inquisitor smiled broadly, lowered her head slightly, and left the room. The Pope stared at the closed door, then turned to look at the colorful stained glass.

"Your Holiness, there is one more thing——"

To be precise, he was about to turn around.

If only the inquisitor hadn't opened the door again and suddenly stuck his head in.

Although it was very rude, the Pope did not express any disgust at her frivolous attitude and frivolous tone. He just spoke gently in a calm and gentle tone.

"What else?"

"Should I tell the Moon Pope?"

At this question, the Pope glanced at the full moon shining through the stained glass.

"It doesn't matter if you don't go."

There is a bright white full moon hanging in the sky.

"Because it's a night with a full moon."

028. Conversation between Claudia and Alice

The atmosphere within the Knights of the Silver Dawn has been extremely depressing lately.

Even during meal times, there is very little conversation among people, and it is hard to see the vibrant and lively atmosphere as before.

The reason is of course because of the new people who joined recently.

Faced with a monster that even Claudia had failed to defeat and returned severely injured, the newcomer announced his intention to conquer it alone and immediately set off. Fear for his safety darkened the atmosphere within the Knights.

Liz, who always creates a lively atmosphere, was the first to keep silent. Erica might have been influenced by her sister, and her already calm personality became even calmer.

Alice sometimes even held her head and blamed herself. There were only four people in the castle, and three of them were in this situation. Of course, the whole atmosphere was a mess.

Except for one person, Claudia.

Claudia's life went on as usual, as she wasn't as close to the new guy and didn't know him that well.

Of course, he was also worried that he might not be able to come back, but this was just the Knight Commander's concern for the newcomer.

The other three, especially Liz, didn't seem to see the man as just a newcomer.

The most important thing is that although the newcomer went, he was not forced to go by others. Instead, he insisted on going to the end despite everyone's opposition, and he wanted to go on his own, and finally left after getting others' permission.

If you run out alone on impulse and die after failing in the campaign, you will be nothing more than a small fry.

Claudia was already tired of seeing the consequences of not knowing one's own strength.

If there is a one in a thousand chance of returning successfully, maybe I would even look at him with a higher regard.

With this thought in mind, Claudia acted as usual, but since she could only lie motionless in bed, it did not do much to improve the atmosphere.

"Claudia, do you think the newcomer can come back alive?"

"That question again? Do you know how many times you've asked it?"

When Alice asked such a question in a sad tone, Claudia felt annoyed.

"...Because I can't analyze the situation calmly right now, and the same goes for the other two. Aren't you the only one who can remain calm and collected here, Claudia?"

Claudia shook her head inwardly.

What on earth did that person do here? It's really incomprehensible that people around him have become so restless in just a few days.

"I'm not sure either. If that newcomer isn't a small fry and can unleash more destructive power than my greatsword, perhaps I can defeat it and come back alive?"

"What's the difference between you saying that and saying he'll die?!"

"That's true, but Alice, what if he uses unexpected techniques to find a way out that I haven't even imagined? I was so panicked when my greatsword attack didn't work that I almost died."

For someone who had survived a near-death experience, her voice was remarkably laid-back.

Of course, people in this world don't die easily. Scars and the like disappear within minutes, and even serious injuries like broken bones, twisted limbs, and torn skin can eventually heal as long as there's life.
