"what happened?"

Like a cat awakened from its sleep, Angeline immediately straightened her upper body and looked in the direction of Ella - the battle between the black dragons became more and more intense, and it evolved from the original small-scale fights into a real hand-to-hand combat. The previous shock came from the black dragon that was pressed into the mountain by a punch.

"Wow... With this injury... are you okay?"

"Comparatively, they made such a fuss but didn't even affect Senpai's cooking table. Should I say it's cute?"

"...I don't think it's cute at all."

Looking at the scales flying around due to the fight, Angelica looked quite worried.

After confirming that the fight between the black dragons had not affected Ella, Camisia felt relieved and continued with the previous topic.

"No, I have no intention of using Mitis. I am simply following the princess's wishes."

"Aren't you afraid that Aira-chan will get into danger?"

"Princess, you are the strongest being in the entire continent."

A proud look appeared on Camisia's face, and the huge thing on her chest trembled as she puffed out her chest.

"The strongest? I know you demons worship the Demon King, but you should be a little more rational, right?"

As if she knew Iris would say this, a hint of pride flashed in Camisia's purple eyes.

"This is a secret between me and the princess."

"Tsk."

Iris smacked her lips, feeling a little dissatisfied at being tricked, and ate the fruit she had picked up in one bite.

“So—”

“Wow! It’s coming, it’s coming! Teacher Camisia!”

As if the world was about to collapse, Angelini screamed and jumped off her seat, hiding behind Camisia - a fireball the size of a house was flying towards everyone, and the battle between the black dragons escalated again, from hand-to-hand combat to a magical battle.

Camisia, standing in the position of the victor, did not get angry. She unfolded the Sword of Disorder and transformed it into a giant umbrella to block the wooden table.

flutter.

Like rain falling into the sea, the fireball disappeared without even imparting any warmth to anyone.

As if nothing had happened, Camisia questioned Iris.

"So?"

"So, what are you going to do after this? If you want to prove that Aira-chan is the Demon Queen, you have to make Mitis-chan admit her identity as the Mark of Original Sin first, right? Mitis-chan has absolutely no intention of doing so right now, and she probably won't say it in the future. Or... are you planning to use force?"

"Of course not. Regarding this matter, I believe that the princess can handle it properly. And now it seems that day is not far away."

Camisia picked up the half-cold tea on the table.

"Besides, aren't you also helping to keep Mitis loyal to the princess?"

"Haha, I'm just following my own preferences. I don't understand what you're talking about at all."

"Is that so?"

"certainly."

"Tsk, what a dirty topic."

At Iris's cunning smile, Shen Gan, who had been silent beside her, clicked his tongue.

As for the melee that broke out among the black dragons fighting for food, by the time the winner was decided, Ella had already left the Black Dragon Mountains.

After slipping away from the cooking table, Ella and Lotte came to a dense forest. They were still inside the black dragon's lair. The fighting between the black dragons in the distance was constantly making the ground tremble.

"Ah~ah~, those black dragons are really something. It's just a normal barbecue, but they actually have to duel to decide who gets it... What do they usually eat?"

"Mr. Black Dragon shed tears after eating Miss Ella's food."

Lotte, wearing a short-sleeved maid outfit, pulled her lavender twintails back and smiled at Ella.

"That's all thanks to Lotte. I didn't help at all."

Although Ella knew that Ruthie had no intention of teasing her, she couldn't help but feel a little weird because she really didn't play any role.

"I have a feeling that if we use food as a bargaining chip, they'll abandon Dragon Valley and run to the Demon Tribe."

"Then the demons will surely admire you even more."

"Uh, no...that's not what I meant..."

The demons' current loyalty already made her feel very embarrassed, and Ella really didn't want to imagine any further scenarios.

"Is there any purpose for Miss Ella coming here?"

Lotte tilted her head and asked tentatively.

"There is indeed a purpose..."

"Is it about Miss Mitis?"

"Ah, yes."

Ella nodded and then looked at the "Terrain Search". Now, Mitis and Sith were walking on the trail in the southern part of the Black Dragon Mountains.

Ella discovered that Mitis was the Mark of Jealousy through a "low-level identification" when she first met Mitis. At that time, because she wanted to find out why the Mark of Original Sin could turn into a human, she did not do anything to Mitis. She simply hid her strength and told her companions that Mitis was the Mark of Jealousy.

As time went by, Ella gradually discovered that Mitis did not have any characteristics of the Mark of Original Sin. Instead of being cruel, she was more like an ordinary girl. Not only that, she was very friendly to everyone. Even when she was troubled by Gerard, she never thought of using abnormal means to solve the problem, as if she was not the Mark of Original Sin at all.

As for the fact that she later became Mitis's practice subject, it made Ella completely believe that Mitis had no awareness of the Mark of Original Sin and was completely on the side of humans. Although Mitis had always kept silent about the fact that she was the Mark of Original Sin, it was completely understandable. Ella could understand the pain and always treated Mitis as an ordinary human being.

"That being said... that afternoon I thought Mitis was going to tell the truth, but... she ended up doing something like that... Isn't that just like a pervert?!"

Recalling the feeling of Mitis licking her neck, Ella blushed. At first, she thought it was Mitis's fingers, but when she opened her eyes, she realized it was completely different. In the end, she had even accidentally made Mitis her own servant. The story unfolded so dramatically that Ella felt like she was losing touch with reality.

[And the side effect of having a follower is... How am I going to talk to Mitis from now on?!]

"Ms. Ella, Ms. Ella?"

"Eh? Oh, sorry, I got distracted."

Bow your head and apologize honestly.

"It's okay. Miss Ella must be thinking about something important, right?"

"It's important... but it's not unimportant either... Anyway, I came here today to deal with another Mark of Original Sin."

"Another Mark of Sin?"

"The Sith I met at the Adventurer's Guild today was a servant of the Seal of Original Sin. And judging by his appearance, he doesn't seem to belong to Mitis. So I wonder if there's another Seal of Original Sin nearby."

As she spoke, Ella took out a huge, strange weapon that Entarosphiel would use from the storage.

"Also, we need to investigate the news regarding the Poacher Alliance—Laplace's Demon."

"Miss Ella, are you going to clean up?"

Lotte took out Hela from her dimensional backpack.

"No, cleanup is the job of the Bruzea Empire. I'm not kind enough to help them anyway. I just took the opportunity to take a look while investigating the Seal of Original Sin. I'm also curious why Mitis is walking with Sith."

"Miss Ella, are you planning to follow Miss Mitis?"

"Ahahaha... It's not stalking, it's just investigating, investigating."

With a perfunctory laugh, Ella chose the role of the Loli God in her mind. A white light flashed, and with the help of her ability to quickly change clothes when switching states, she put on a Gothic long skirt with dark red as the main color and black as the secondary color.

Fluttering her pure white wings, Ella, floating a foot above the ground, reached out to Lotte.

"Well then, let's see what the other Mark of Sin is doing."

A look of joy gradually appeared on her face. Lotte showed a gentle smile that even the moonlight would be eclipsed, and placed her hand on the hand that Ella extended.

"Yes, with great pleasure, Miss Ella."

Chapter 54: Encirclement and Suppression by Only Two People

Hovering hundreds of meters above the ground, the cold wind blowing in the summer night made Ella tighten her clothes.

"You should wear F.Wing clothes..."

“F…?”

“Eh? Just some trivial things, ahahaha…”

Ella gave a dry laugh and perfunctorily dealt with it, focusing her attention on "Terrain Search".

The entire Black Dragon Mountain Range was shrunk down on a light blue map that was nearly one meter long and wide. It had an adjustable viewing angle and looked just like the navigation map Ella had used before.

"First, the Mark of Original Sin..."

Examining the special light spots on the map—all of which were creatures above level 40—Ella thought for a moment and typed the term "Mark of Original Sin" into the search bar.

In just a blink of an eye, two red marks appeared on the light blue terrain search. One was a moving light spot representing Mitis, and the other was located in the mountains in the southern part of the Black Dragon Mountains. In addition, there were some other densely gathered purple light spots. According to the display, they were humans eroded by the Mark of Original Sin.

"So many people have been affected... I don't know the purpose of the Seal of Original Sin, but are they imprisoning so many people as sacrifices?"

For a moment, Ella thought of the cult gatherings she had seen in movies before, and she couldn't help but feel like retreating. That kind of hellish scene would give people nightmares continuously.

"What did you see, Miss Ella?"

Lotte, who was being brought by Ella's magic, asked.

"A lot of people are being held captive together. There are seven such places in the Black Dragon Mountains. They must be the sacrifices captured by the Seal of Original Sin, right?"

"Seventh Division... Miss Ella, are you saying they're being held separately?"

"Yes, they are centered around the black dragon's lair and can be found in almost every direction."

Hearing this, Lotte smiled bitterly.

"I think that's where the poachers live."

"Eh? Wait, let me take a closer look."

Switching the search bar from Seal of Original Sin to Laplace's Demon, the seven dense light spots on the terrain search remained unchanged, and even the extra Seal of Original Sin did not disappear.

"Hmm... they're poachers after all... I didn't expect that even the one who held the Seal of Sin belonged to one of Laplace's Demons. Considering the difference in power, they must be the organizers of the Poacher Alliance."

Ella began to focus her attention on the Seal of Original Sin. According to Mitis's current trajectory, she would soon meet the Seal of Original Sin - the Seal of Greed.

[Remember, the Seal of Greed was the Holy Spirit that controlled fire in 『F.Wing』...but hasn't its power been weakened as usual? At level 55, even Camisia could handle it.]

In fact, Ella was the only one who thought this way. There were only a handful of creatures on the continent that could reach the realm beyond heroes, and it was completely unattainable for ordinary people. It was only because Camisia had always been by Ella's side that Ella had the illusion that the Mark of Original Sin was easy to deal with.

Focusing her attention on the skill bar of the Mark of Original Sin, Ella murmured softly.

"Aside from controlling fire, there aren't any other special abilities worth mentioning... So it seems the power gap between the Seals of Original Sin is quite large. The Seal of Envy is only level 39, while the Seal of Greed is already level 55. Gluttony, in its full form, is over level 75. While the Seal of Wrath's level isn't far off Camisia's, it has the special skill 'Infernal Fire' to help it completely suppress Camisia. I feel like the Seal of Original Sin was just a random creation... No, should I say it's been there since the birth of the continent?"

As for Ella, she didn't think the Seal of Original Sin was something naturally generated. After seeing the Seal of Original Sin's true form—a medal engraved with strange patterns, anyone would think that the Seal of Original Sin was a prop deliberately created by someone. After all, the fact that there was only one medal could be explained as a coincidence, but the fact that all the medals were exactly the same made people suspect that it was a product of artificial mass production.

"But this is a magical world, so perhaps the Mark of Original Sin evolved naturally. Well, I'll consider these matters later."

Shaking her head to expel these distracting thoughts from her mind, Ella looked at Lotte beside her.

"Mitis still has a long way to go to reach the Mark of Greed. Before that, should we go and get rid of the helpers first?"

"Miss Ella, are you going to help the Bruzea Empire deal with the poachers?"

"That's not the case at all. This is just to reduce potential risks. If the Seal of Greed suddenly uses them to do something, things will become very troublesome."

"So you're still going to help..."

"So that's not what I meant at all!"

While loudly arguing, Ella cast 『Group Hide』 on the two of them, then used 『Short Range Teleport』 to head towards the cave where the poachers were hiding.

"Stun Bomb."

“Ugh!”

“Who is it?!”

"Send someone to inform Master Star!"

"Don't try to escape, okay?"
