But the most important thing is that he currently has no way to force Eve into the Staff of Holy Light. If there is a contract between him and Eve, he could probably use "commands" to force Eve to execute it, but the fact is that there is no such thing, and even if he changes to the state of other characters, he does not have the corresponding skills.

The first to react was Camisia, who continued to maintain the state of "charging power" and looked at Sadler who was at a loss.

"Your name is Sadler, right? Quickly get the soldiers out of the underground tower and evacuate the citizens. The Mark of Sin has appeared."

"Original Sin Seal?! I get it, now I'm going to do it!"

Unlike the previous events that were beyond his comprehension, Sadler, as the city lord, was very aware of the existence of the Mark of Original Sin. He immediately showed a nervous expression, quickly nodded to Camisia, and ran to the soldiers behind him, almost shouting orders for them to escape with the adventurers. During the process, some people raised curious questions, but they were all forcibly taken away by Sadler in a rough manner.

After everyone left, Sadler took one last look at Camisia and Ella.

"Master Ayla, take care. I will have the soldiers gather all the magic cannons in the underground tower square. Please allow us to assist you."

"We'll talk about that later. Iris, take the princess away!"

"Is it okay for Camisia to be alone?"

Because Ella was still standing there in a daze, Iris used a "stun bomb" to stun Ella for the purpose of carrying her, and then handed her to the warrior-type Angelini to carry on her shoulders.

Seeing this scene, Camisia felt relieved a little, and then stared at Falais who had been completely swallowed by Eve. She could see that the gray-white light mist that Eve had turned into quickly purified Falais's body, leaving only a fist-sized black sphere standing there. Then, without even the usual greeting, the gray-white light mist symbolizing Eve turned into a stream of air and flowed into the pendant around Ella's neck, and the whole person disappeared.

Realizing that the black sphere that remained was the Seal of Wrath, Camisia finished charging and turned to look at Iris.

"I have a forced teleportation crystal. If things don't work out, I'll have Dean come over to help. I'll leave the princess to you."

"Camisia, please don't die."

"Of course, before I saw the princess grow up."

Without saying anything else, Iris deeply realized that what Camisia was doing now was the most correct choice. She frowned, smacked her lips, and urged all members of the Branch of Disaster to leave.

Chapter 79: Seal of Anger

*Genesis 6187 April 10th, 16:11 PM, Morabi City Underground Tower 30th Floor

After confirming that Ella and her group had left, Camisia gathered all her energy in her chest, feeling the silent Seal of Wrath in front of her. This level of enemy was not the type that could be dealt with with a casual wave of the hand. If she didn't muster all her energy and concentration, a single blow would determine the outcome.

[Although now is the best time to attack, the princess and the others probably haven't completely left the underground tower yet... Is it best to continue delaying?]

Having made this decision, Camisia continued to maintain the stiff posture that comes with "charging power". The power accumulated during "charging power" will be released in the next attack, so if she changes her posture without authorization, it is likely to cause unexpected accidents. This is a mistake that cannot be made when facing the enemy of the other world - the Seal of Original Sin.

As for the original Camisia, her attitude towards the Seal of Original Sin was neither aversion nor dislike. She didn't dislike it because the previous Demon King had used it before—although because the "original Camisia" sealed herself away, the events of that time could not be traced back—but she disliked it because the previous Demon King's choice to unify the world was likely due to his being bewitched by the Seal of Original Sin. These two combined formed an idea that Camisia had persisted for thousands of years.

But due to the appearance of Ella, Camisia ended this delicate attitude towards the Seal of Original Sin. The disappearance of the previous Demon King was an irreversible fact, and it was meaningless no matter how much she blamed herself. Therefore, cherishing the orphan of the previous Demon King, the current Demon King, was the greatest wish of the demon clan. So no matter what, she would go all out, including Ella's intention, which she did not say out loud but had expressed implicitly - to hate the Seal of Original Sin. In that way, she would have no reason to show mercy to the Seal of Original Sin.

Thinking of this, Camisia tightened her grip on the Sword of Disorder. As long as she thought about helping the innocent and kind Demon King, endless strength surged throughout her body.

Feeling a slight change in the air, Camisia snorted coldly.

"Hmph, there's no point in pretending any longer."

"Hehe, you're still as cold and indifferent as ever. Where's the former Demon King, Camisia Nott Tilum?"

"If you want to expose my weakness, it would be more reliable to just attack directly."

With the dignity of a queen, Camisia looked down at the black sphere that was less than three meters away from her. Considering the size of the opponent - only the size of a fist - it was not an easy type for her to deal with. If possible, a warrior like Angelini who focused on agility and speed would be more suitable.

"Haha, you've been found out? It seems I'm far from jealous. So let's get straight to the point. You should know that you're no match for me on your own, right? I felt the portal created by the previous Demon King open before. If I remember correctly, it should be something that only the Demon King can open, right? Could it be that what I heard about the Demon Queen before is true?"

"Yes—so what? The princess dislikes your presence, so forget about working with her again."

Camisia's words made the Seal of Wrath pause for a moment, and then the harsh androgynous voice of the Seal of Wrath sounded again. If Ella was present, she would have discovered that the voice of the Seal of Wrath was almost the same as that of Gluttony.

"In that case, there's nothing we can do. I don't know which personality you have, Camisia, but the root causes of your actions won't differ greatly. If the Demon King says 'no', then there's no room for further discussion. One last question, I felt the disappearance of gluttony earlier. Was that incident related to you?"

"Yes, the princess and I will personally handle it."

There was nothing to hide about this matter, and even if I said "no" here, the position of both parties being enemies would not change.

"As expected, for the people of this continent, the Demon King is the strongest fighting force. It was always the same, and it is still the same. As expected of the original race..."

Angry's words piqued Camisia's interest. Ella had investigated the purpose of the Seal of Original Sin before, but ultimately came to nothing. If she asked Angry directly here, she might get some results.

Besides, for me now, delaying time is the first goal.

Thinking of this, Camisia interrupted her angry muttering.

"Before we begin, I have a question. How did your Mark of Original Sin come about, and what is its purpose?"

"Oh? Well... I'd be fine telling you, but for various reasons, it's better not to. What if this gets... Well, that's enough. We have a mission we can't shirk, so all you need to know is this. Honestly, it's really difficult for me to take action against my former colleagues."

"So what was the purpose of attacking Falaise just now?"

"Hehe, that guy has been purified. It's okay to tell you. We originally borrowed him to help us unify, but he actually wanted to die. So, how about I rekindle his negative emotions and continue summoning the undead to attack humans? This is no problem for us, who are originally named after emotions."

At this point, the black sphere representing the Seal of Wrath gradually expanded, eventually transforming into a three-meter-tall giant skeleton with gleaming white bones.

"Well, enough of reminiscing. While I'm not the strongest Arrogant, I'm not much behind that Gluttony guy who's ranked fourth. Level 67, is that a bit more specific?"

"Level 67?... In my opinion, it's far inferior to Gluttony above level 70."

Wrath's words made Camisia relax a little. At that time, since she and Ella were able to suppress Gluttony with Fire Arrows, it meant that the same method would also work on Wrath, which was weaker than Gluttony.

[But the prerequisite is that Rage must be used to remove the Skeleton form... Skeletons have a special resistance to arrows. Although the Fire Arrows at that time should have been out of the arrow category, if you want the princess to participate, you can't take such a risky gamble.]

"It's pretty close. You'll know after trying it! 'Corrosive Darkness'."

As he chanted, an enlarged version of the Grim Reaper's scythe appeared in the hand of Seal of Wrath. Judging from the handle alone, it was at least four meters long. Without giving Camisia any time to react, Seal of Wrath, who had transformed into a skeleton, swiftly swung the giant scythe in his hand, striking with the momentum that seemed to cut Camisia in two.

"But this attack is far from enough——Hey!"

As she cried out, Camisia drew upon the magic within the Sword of Disorder, pouring all the energy accumulated through her "charged" power into this downward swing. The first contact was crucial, as this strike often allowed her to discern the difference between friend and foe.

boom!

A loud noise that seemed to burst the eardrums filled the underground tower. Countless sand and dust mixed together fell from the ceiling, the walls began to crack, and the ground kept shaking. If there were still monsters nearby, you would definitely see countless monsters crawling out of the caves at this time, running around everywhere as if it were the end of the world.

He was not disturbed by the surrounding scene - because what happened in front of him made the Seal of Anger even more shaken.

"how come!"

——The attack that he had poured all his strength into was easily blocked by Camisia.

Chapter 80 Prelude

Camisia had completely anticipated the surprise of the Seal of Wrath. Even though Camisia's current level was 63, which was 4 levels lower than the Seal of Wrath's level 67, she was swinging her sword in a "charged" state, so it was only natural that she could easily block it just now.

Feeling the heavy force coming from the giant sword, Camisia snorted with a relaxed attitude.

"Is that all?"

Although she said so, in fact, Camisia already understood that the power of the Seal of Wrath was superior to hers. Although the gap was not big, it was not a distance that could be caught up by effort. If she had not used the "charge" in advance for the previous attack, she would have been knocked back a step by now.

"If I had the princess's enhanced magic, I should be able to defeat him on my own—but that assumes he doesn't have any other abilities."

Unknown things are the most terrifying things. The Seal of Wrath has previously stated that he is the Holy Spirit in charge of darkness. If this is all he has, he cannot be called an existence that scares the entire continent.

After one strike, he ran away, transforming into the Seal of Wrath, a skeleton, and retracted the scythe.

"Oh, sorry, I lost my composure. Normally, you should have used magic just now, right? Strengthening magic? Or the 'Unbreakable Fortress'?"

Seal of Wrath stuck his scythe into the ground, looking completely unafraid of Camisia's attack.

Of course, Camisia would not choose to attack at this moment. The reason why the opponent acted like this should be due to some considerations - either the body has some ability, such as regeneration like a slime, or some trap-type skills have been activated in advance, such as "block and counterattack". Attacking rashly without knowing the truth is likely to lead to unbearable consequences.

Camisia held the giant sword in front of her with both hands, keeping it tilted upward.

"What if I say neither?"

"Neither of them... You can't defeat me, a non-living being, with just your physical abilities. You must have activated some skill with a time limit or a limited number of uses, right? You're not attacking?"

"I should be the one saying this."

"Hahaha, a warrior with thousands of years of wisdom is indeed difficult to deal with. So, how about this—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three-meter-tall skeleton transformed by the Seal of Wrath disappeared from sight. That speed completely exceeded the limits of human beings. If it were an ordinary warrior fighting with the naked eye, the outcome should have been decided at this moment. But it was obvious that Camisia was not such a simple opponent. On the contrary, standing at the top of the continent, she was a formidable enemy from any angle.

Without any hesitation, Camisia swept the giant sword across.

『Unbreakable Fortress』

Click.

The sound of broken bones was heard, and then the figure of the Seal of Wrath reappeared in the field of vision. The latter could be seen retreating in a panic, with his white arm falling to the ground.

"Ugh, detection magic? How could they possibly detect me?!"

"That was 'Teleport', right? A skill that only allows movement in a straight line is a bit too simple."

"Tsk."

Clicking his lips, the Seal of Wrath muttered something, and the arm that had been severed by Camisia grew back.

"Hmph, it's time to end the warm-up. Choosing close combat was a mistake."

"Huh? Then let me see what you call your true strength."

Camisia grinned and raised an aggressive smile, and her eyes changed from the original purple to the golden vertical pupils unique to cats. In the state of golden cat eyes, all her actions would be carefully considered by nearly a hundred personalities, and there was no possibility of wrong judgment. At this time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Camisia was the strongest warrior on the continent.

"Then let's begin."

……

*Genesis 6187, April 10th, 18:03 PM, Morabi City Underground Tower Square

Unlike the usual bustling atmosphere, there is now an atmosphere of panic and tension in the city of Semorabi.

"Hurry! Light up the magic furnace number three!"

"Is the magic cannon fully charged?!"

"Fully loaded the crossbow!"

"Team One is ready!"

If someone looked down from above at this time, they would find that countless soldiers were guarding large city defense equipment like ants, forming a circle around the entire underground tower square, while ordinary citizens were running towards the open city gates with large and small bags on their backs. Although they had no idea what was happening, under Sadler's urgent order, they would be imprisoned in the dungeon if they did not do so. Therefore, many people left the town with only the minimum packages. In order to speed up the evacuation of citizens, Sadler also added the promise that they could return to the town after the matter was over. In this case, almost everyone left Semurabi with a playful mentality - as long as they stayed outside the city for a while, it would be fine.

"Everything is ready, Lord Sadler. Although we can't bring in the large magic cannons and magic furnaces, their range is sufficient to cover this area. Simply communicate with the soldiers on the city wall using Message magic, and they will launch the large magic cannons to provide support."

Despite what the adjutant said, Sadler still felt uneasy. He glanced at the many soldiers not far away and continued to ask his men.

"Where are the adventurers we summoned at short notice?"

"Due to the Lord's urgent decree, the Adventurer's Guild has mobilized over 80% of its forces, including one Orichalcum-rank adventurer, three Mithril-rank adventurer teams, and at least several thousand other adventurers."

"...Got it. Go down and follow my instructions."

"Yes."

After the messenger retreated with a fist salute, Sadler turned his gaze to Dain beside him, who was now looking solemnly at Ella and her group not far away.

"Aren't you leaving? The enemy is the Seal of Original Sin. If the Pope doesn't come, no one here can resist."

"That's just Mr. Sadler. He knows he can't resist, but he still organizes his soldiers."

"Hmph, this is the honor we've been waiting for."

After saying these words, which only a soldier would say, Sadler touched his chin and laughed inadvertently.

"I've always wanted to try this out, but I never thought I'd actually get to say it. Personally, I want to enjoy my old age, but right now... I can't escape even if I want to. Instead of that, I might as well help others buy time. Ahhh, I feel the passion of my youth flaring up again."

"Haha, Master Sadler, the first half of that sentence could be used as leverage, you know?"

"It's already like this, why worry about the future? I just hope those people can carve my name on the stone tablet—that being said, why don't you leave, Dyne? As an adventurer, you don't have the same burdens as me, right? I can't guarantee how long I can buy you, but a minute... no, half a minute should be no problem."

Sadler couldn't help but find it a little funny that the two of them could still talk like old friends even though they were facing such a crisis.

Perhaps realizing what Sadler meant, Dain's half-smile gradually turned serious, and he frowned.

"Lord Sadler, I don't think we will lose."

"Oh?"

The hope of survival made Sadler raise an eyebrow.

"How to say?"

"For some reason—if I disturb that lord's interest, I might be secretly dealt with. So please forgive me for not telling the truth. But I can guarantee that if that lord is willing to help us, perhaps the legendary Seal of Original Sin will be defeated without the Pope's intervention."

"That's because Dyn underestimated the Mark of Original Sin."
