"Where is the location of the Hero's Sacred Artifact?"

Under Art's gaze, the rat-headed demon asked in a low voice to the demons who emerged from the shadow passage and appeared around them.

"In Bennett's bedroom."

Another rat-headed demon who looked similar to the leader responded:

"During the previous banquets, we had thoroughly confirmed other places except Bennett's bedroom."

Another demon whose form deviated from humanoid, and whose body was so deformed that even Art could not describe it as a common creature responded.

Upon hearing the response, the leading rat-headed demon glanced left and right, then walked towards Bennett's bedroom.

But Art didn't follow.

Because, from his perspective, with every step the rat-headed demon took towards Bennett's bedroom, more of the bad luck on his head was activated, while part of the luck was dormant.

In other words, this role is almost done.

but.....

Art clearly felt that the luck and misfortune of the rat-headed demon were separated into two parts.

Another part of the luck is gradually activating, and the bad luck is also activating simultaneously.

"Is there another existence parasitic on him?"

Which force is it?

Humans? Demons? Or a third party?

If it is a demon clan, which force is it?

Bennett? Or another successor, or...the Demon King? Or other forces besides these?

Moreover, he mentioned the "Sacred Artifact of the Brave"...

The Holy Artifact of the Brave? Why are they looking for the Holy Artifact of the Brave?

Are the brave men the human race brave men who defeated the Demon King thousands of years ago?

Are these demons human beings?

Conjectures emerged in Art's mind.

The moment this conjecture emerged, Art's thoughts immediately began to spin.

Is he the devil?

No, if it is the Demon King, the amount of luck and misfortune is a little too little.

Not the Demon King, but someone else...

Wait a minute, what if this is just part of the Demon King? Maybe the Demon King is really dead, but is he trying to be resurrected?

And this rat-headed demon is the devil's means of resurrection?

Art is very familiar with this method.

Did the Demon King fake his death? Or was he really dead and resurrected in advance?

But judging from the worst guess, besides the players, the factor that has the greatest impact on the Succession War is naturally the Demon King who has ruled the world for more than a thousand years.

After all, there is one more option, or even... there is no other option except him!?

The worst possibilities came to Art's mind.

Not only the rat-headed demons, but also humans and the five successors all made wrong choices. There is only one right choice.

The victory of the devil!

The moment this suspicion emerged, the invisible black mist of doom squirmed slightly in Art's body hidden in the dagger.

There is no succession battle at all.

There is no way for humanity to regain victory.

This is completely the devil's one-man show.

The devil carefully prepared a grand drama for his resurrection.

If this is really the case...then how should I make Black Thorn make this conjecture legitimately?

He sensed the changing fortunes of the group of demons as they advanced, and another conjecture emerged in his mind.

The scope of his current guess, what he calls the "worst possibility", is still in the scenario of "Game Nation's prompt is correct, but only part of it is concealed".

What if, in the future or even now, there is a situation like "Game Nation's prompt is completely wrong"?

The group of demons left, but Art's mind was still spinning.

What he just felt about the bad luck and luck coming from the rat-headed demons made him have another guess.

Instead of continuing to move forward, he seemed to notice something and stepped back a little.

...

Soon, the rat-headed demons and others came to Bennett's bedroom.

"There are no hidden traps, Lord Katas."

A humanoid demon holding a staff reported to the leading rat-headed demon, or demon.

Next, in the sight of everyone, the rat-headed demon Katas took out a square fragment shaped like a stone slab.

Sage's Stone!!!

The eyes of all the demons lit up.

Thousands of years ago, when the human race was conquering the demons, the treasure of the sage in the chain, the sage's stone tablet in the kingdom of sages in the forest!

All the demons present knew the story about a group of brave men.

From childhood to adulthood, they grew up listening to their elders recounting the glory of the human race, and it was precisely because of their strong sense of honor and responsibility.

From Master Katas's mouth, they had not heard of the existence of the Sage's Stone.

"I didn't even tell my most trusted deputy."

Under the gaze of all the demons, the rat-headed demon Katas said in a deep voice.

The demons, who are well aware of Lord Katas's cautious character, have deep trust and can even be said to be fanatical worship, and they do not have any negative emotions.

Except for Lord Katas, they could not trust anyone else with this important treasure that was related to the revival of the human race.

However, at this moment, the surrounding environment changed instantly.

boom!!!

Although there was no sound, the demons whose bodies were very different from humans appeared in front of them, making all the demons immediately realize that something was wrong.

And that body covered in darkness and surrounded by black mist is the most common demon race in this world——

Night planting.

All the demons looked cautiously as they looked at the encirclement network composed entirely of night monsters.

The demons have realized something is wrong.

These night species did not come in from the outside, nor did they appear in their field of vision without any approaching breath.

In other words...ambush.

These night demons were obviously not unprepared.

Moreover, none of the night demons showed any haste or nervousness, and all the details revealed that there had been an ambush.

Moreover, in addition to what is in front of you, there is probably a back-up plan!

Oh no!

Without any hesitation, the group of demons looked at each other and made a decision.

No matter what, we must protect Lord Katas!

One of the demons burst into flames from his body and said in an admonishing tone:

"The final victory must belong to Lord Masefield. I didn't expect that you night species would actually support Prince Bennett? It seems that Prince Nichols has already made a decision, right?"

The disaster was diverted to the east, the glory lingering in the memory, and the idea of ​​never wanting to involve the human race made the demon speak these words, like the face of a severely burned patient, surrounded by flames, gaining some momentum.

"Are you still talking harshly before you die?"

One of the night species used a communication method that was similar to telepathic communication and spoke.

"Before his death? Did Prince Bennett plan to become hostile to Lord Macefield?"
