My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 397 The Blood Demon Lord had a bad feeling.
Inside the lounge, the Demon King walked to a round table and took out a tattered flag from his storage ring.

But this is not wear and tear caused by thousands of years of wind and frost.

It was already like this when it was covered over that small grave.

Thousands of years have not brought much change to it.

It remains exactly as it was when its former owner took it out and covered the grave.

This banner, which has come from who knows how long ago, has now been handed over to its new master by the Demon King.

"Is this what you were trying to tell me after keeping me in suspense for so long?"

Roland lifted the flag from the table with both hands, his expression somewhat strange.

Although it certainly looked like an old object, and there was a faint magical reaction on it, Roland couldn't figure out what its purpose was.

The Demon King seemed to have read Roland's thoughts and answered Roland's confusion before Roland could speak: "Don't ask me, I don't know what the real function of this thing is either."

"Although it was left to me by someone else, I was never its owner and I didn't know what its purpose was."

"The only thing we know is that this flag has remained unchanged for thousands of years."

"It looked like this when it was handed to me as a child."

"This remains true even now."

Roland sighed softly, "Alright, alright, I'll figure it out myself later."

Shaking his head helplessly, Roland put away the flag and, after finishing, asked, "You didn't just give this to me for no reason, did you?"

"Given your personality, you don't need to go through all this trouble just to hand over something, do you?"

"Is it about the mist? Don't worry, I've already spoken with Caesar and the others. As long as they provide the materials and manpower, I can help set up a giant spatial stabilizing anchor that will affect the entire Enva region."

"Isn't that fog essentially just a disaster caused by spatial imbalance? Wouldn't doing this prevent the disaster from happening?"

The Demon King sighed: "You guessed right... I do have some things I want to say."

"It is indeed related to the fog."

"Your guess is correct; the fog did indeed appear due to a spatial disaster. But have you considered that if a problem can be solved simply by using the Spatial Stabilizing Anchor spell, why don't I solve it myself?"

“I can do exactly what you’re thinking and create a huge spatial stabilizing anchor to stabilize Enva’s space.”

"It's just that the investment is larger, but it's nothing for the demons back then."

“But Roland, your method can prevent and delay the disease, but it cannot cure it.”

"Just like when I die, the spell will become ineffective, and the disaster will return..."

"This is not simply a matter of spatial instability or a loophole that allowed these fogs to take advantage... This is a far more serious disaster."

"The Enwa phenomenon is essentially the erosion of the world's boundaries."

"Although it can be categorized as a problem of spatial structure, it is not the kind of spatial problem you are thinking of."

The Demon King said, looking at Roland who was frowning, "Don't be so discouraged and serious. I just said that your method didn't cure the root cause, not that it was useless. I just didn't want you to have too high expectations."

"If your procedure works smoothly, you won't have to worry about the effects of the fog for at least fifty years."

"But that's the ideal situation. You're aware of the invasion by the evil gods; the eyes of the four extraterrestrial evil gods are all on this world."

"The power of the Whisperer of Eternal Silence is evident above the sea, and the will of the Black Lord has also appeared near Isfar."

"Enva's mist was the work of the Annihilation Maw, as for the Ash Lord..."

The Demon King paused for a moment, then looked at Roland: "That person's power has not yet appeared, or perhaps it has appeared but has been hidden or prevented by some powerful force."

"Do you remember what I told you about what happened in Papal City?"

"Although there is no evidence, my intuition tells me that something has probably happened over there."

"What I'm telling you is that, because of Kalia, the elves, and the dragons, the Whisperer of Eternity is actually the least worrisome target."

"When the anomalies on the sea affect Avalon and Dragon Island, the combined forces of these two sides, even if only for self-preservation, are enough to delay for a considerable period of time, or even resolve the issue directly."

“And… Kalia.” The Demon King looked at Roland, revealing a serious expression he had never shown before: “You know her special nature. Back then, you and I had Kalia fuse with that crystal that contained the divine power of the Whisperer of Eternity.”

"As long as the boundaries of the world have not completely collapsed, those evil gods will not be able to bring their full power to this world."

"Their power to descend is limited; they have already used up a large portion of it."

"The rest depends on... whether Kalia can perfectly control this power, but so far, she seems to be able to control her power very well."

As he spoke, the Demon King noticed that Roland's expression was somewhat subtle, showing anxiety mixed with a hint of unease and fear.

Seeing this, the Demon King leaned forward, smiled, and poked Roland's cheek with his finger, who was clearly distracted: "What? You're worried about me just because I mentioned it?" "..." Roland glanced at the Demon King and gave a helpless bitter smile.

Of course I'm afraid.

If Kalia goes out of control, it's like having to fight another boss.

Although he knew that the possibility of Kalia losing control was unlikely, he couldn't help but worry when he thought about the system's rewards.

Putting everything else aside, he also had something called the Tears of the World-Destroying Witch in his backpack.

This item, which is categorized in the special items section, has yet to see any practical use since it was obtained from Blackthorn Territory.

After arriving in Enva and completing several objectives in the second phase of the Silent March, items with names like "World Destroyer Witch XX" started appearing, making it hard for him not to worry.

He originally thought that after completing the side quest of abandoning evil and turning to good, there would be no possibility of Kalia turning evil again.

But to his utter surprise, although she wouldn't turn evil, it didn't seem to affect her ability to lose control.

"Alright, alright, it's just a possibility. Don't worry about it so much. As long as Kalia isn't captured by those lunatics from the Absolution Society and forced to undergo some strange rituals, things will basically stay under control."

"For now, you should focus on ending the war."

"I'll handle the demon race's affairs. You can worry about the mist."

The Demon King straightened up again, then waved his hand: "Alright, that's all I wanted to say... It does seem a bit redundant at the moment."

“The connection between our consciousnesses has not disappeared. We can talk and communicate directly in our consciousnesses. There is no need to find a quiet room to talk to each other.”

"Even if it's just handing over something, there's no need to do this... but I just don't know why I want to do it."

"Alright, you should go back now. The timing is perfect; you can rest, go shopping, or continue dealing with the fog disaster with your men."

"Now it's your time."

"I will tell you once Caesar and Octavian have prepared the materials."

……

In the city of Yalan, Danso stood on the terrace of the third floor of the city lord's mansion, looking down at the city-state below and at the human inhabitants who were still unaware of the truth. He sighed silently: "Alucard, how are the preparations going?"

Behind him, a tall man wearing a red overcoat, a red top hat, and small round sunglasses smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we have basically figured it out."

"There is indeed a huge underground space beneath Yalan City."

"An elite team has already entered through the discovered secret entrance to investigate, but the place is now deserted."

"Based on some materials and arrangements that were not destroyed in time, we can conclude that these are indeed the bases of those lunatics from the Amnesty Society."

"Heh, it seems that for a long time to come, we've been hiding under the feet of those lunatics."

Danso sighed: "No clues found?"

"Judging from the timing of the traces left behind, it seems that the group fled after the failed assassination attempt on Lord Roland," the Blood Demon Prince named Alucard said with a light laugh. "Naturally, no clues can be found."

"But based on the direction of the magical aura and the bloody smell... they shouldn't have gone far."

"They simply left Yalan City."

After listening to Acado's report, Danso said, "The humans are also speeding up the search. Go and tell your men not to clash with the humans. We are allies now."

"By the way, hasn't the old lich arrived yet?"

Alucard chuckled knowingly. “No. He said he has to keep an eye on Hannibal. After all, the Demon King has returned, Enva’s rear has fallen, the three main forces of the royal court—gargoyles, liches, and blood demons—have defected, and even half of the frontline troops have rebelled and joined forces with humans.”

"Lord Ducuso fears that the Demon King's Court will resort to desperate measures and launch an attack at all costs."

"With his strength and the number of demons on the front lines of the Lich King's court, he can indeed hold them back."

"It's a pity that Lord Dracula returned to Enva ahead of schedule, otherwise we could have sent him to support Lord Docuso."

Danso rubbed his temples in frustration: "Not a single bit of support?"

"They did send a young lich, but although he is young, his strength is at the level of a great demon, and he is even on par with me."

Arcador continued, "The lich named Ross, along with his entourage, has already gone to meet up with the human investigation team."

"If you have nothing else to say, then I must depart as well."

"After all, they are three bishops; we cannot let our guard down."

Danso nodded, becoming unusually serious: "Be careful... I have a bad feeling, I feel like something's going to happen."

"If anything goes wrong, send a distress message immediately, and I'll be right there."
