A sleepless night, doesn't sound like a big deal?

But actually...... But that's not the case at all.

Fighting, especially high-intensity combat, is very depleting of one's physical strength and energy, and if one does not get a good rest, the accumulated exhaustion may not be able to crush one's mind in a short period of time, but in battle...... A momentary trance is fatal.

For Amy, though, his life was a bargaining chip, the pain of dying multiple times—or at least dying—taught him what life was precious.

He didn't want to die, not even once.

But...... Sometimes it's necessary?

The One Who Awakened Stigmata –

Ragana claimed to be this, and while it wasn't clear what exactly was the difference between them and the real sword wielder, the general information had already been obtained - the physical fitness had not improved much, and the violent mood swings were able to resonate with the stigmata implanted in the body, and then call for a miracle.

To put it bluntly, the composition of abilities is still unstable, similar to the restless adolescence when the body of the Glory begins to develop and the abilities gradually awaken.

If I'm not mistaken, he's one of them.

Time stands still.

It could also be a simple physical acceleration, anyway, it's such an ability, in fact, it first appeared as early as the battle with Crassus's tentacles, but it has always been very unstable, and there is a lack of corresponding intelligence, until he made contact with Rigana, he didn't think in the direction of stigma.

But now that the idea is given, many doubts will naturally be solved.

However, this does not mean that the fog that hangs over this dead city and that the fog that shrouds him has dissipated, and even on the contrary, as the previously accumulated questions have been answered to a certain extent, new questions have also sprung up in his mind along with the start of new information.

One of them is the most direct and conspicuous, that is, the existence of the demon king Mammon.

After a short time with Mia, the young man has a relatively clear understanding of the combat power of the sword bearer - the sword bearer who has undergone a baptism and implanted a stigma is probably similar to the glorious person who has just mastered his own ability and has undergone a certain combat training, while the sword bearer of the second seal level not only has the second ability, but also has a further strengthened physical fitness, which can basically be equal to, or slightly stronger than the normal, Adult Glory, as for the Great Sword Bearer with more than three seals, or the top combat power of a higher level...... Judging by the rumors of the Chosen One, it is very likely that he is a powerful person on the same level as Ignati (note: this is what the protagonist thinks).

The strength of the high-level demons is not as hierarchical as that of the big sword-wielders, and their strength varies greatly due to different races, different positions on the tree of life, and different concepts they are given - the weaker ones may only need three or five sword-wielders to work together to crusade down, and the strong ones are often given specific titles such as "black goat" and "demon king", even if hundreds or thousands of sword-wielders are assembled into an army, it will not have any meaning in front of them.

——Mammon。

As a high-level demon who once destroyed a city and is likely to leave a name in history, Mammon may even be a catastrophic monster of Xudra's level at his peak, not to mention that they are half-witted people who have just awakened for a long time, even if the entire Holy Cult Army is transferred, the sword-bearers have joined the battle, and it is not unimaginable to be annihilated by all of them without making a move.

This is vividly demonstrated in Hemtika.

Born in the midst of an old day that is far farther and longer than human history, the ancient evil gods possess extraordinary powers far above humans, just as humans will inadvertently trample to death ants on the ground, and they, or they, merely existence, are enough to pose a mortal threat to ordinary people.

It's unlikely that the Demon King Mammon will be with Dagon for a long time, but it won't be an ordinary thing, at least not something that dozens of their amazing half-hung sword-wielders can deal with—even if it is extremely weak in the Great Seal of Isolation from the world, it is only killing itself.

It was not a level that mortals could handle, and if they wanted to win, they could only hope for a miracle.

He didn't believe that the Order would not know this, that the underground of this Dead City was sealed with a high-level demon who had destroyed a city, and that with the combat power they could use, even if it was doubled, the threat it could pose to a monster of the Demon King's level would be quite limited.

In other words, it's useless work.

The second is the essence of the phenomenon of disappearance.

Everyone, including Regana, subconsciously associated it with Mammon, but if you think about it, you can see how stupid it is to think about the motives of a demon with human logic!

Everything is based on reasonable facts.

There is no doubt about that.

But does being reasonable really mean the truth?

Doubt.

That only means the possible truth.

It's not that Amy disagrees with the Prophet Alliance's reasoning, but merely more than they think.

After all......

The discovery of the stele is a coincidence, and it is a coincidence that it can be interpreted partially, just to decipher the identity information about Mammon, and it just happens to be found that this camp is a node to maintain the seal, and many coincidences converge in one place, which makes people suspicious.

First of all, how was Mammon sealed?

Secondly, Who erected the stele?

According to the information that can be determined now, the reason why this dead city under our feet is completely silent is completely created by the demon king Mammon - then, when the flame of civilization is extinguished and the city is coming to an end in the darkness of the deepest night, who has the ability to seal it and carve such a wide range of sealing arrays? If Mammon did not destroy the city, then it is obvious that a very important link is missing from the puzzle of truth.

There are many doubts.

It's like the ultimate enemy that has been deliberately pushed out in a shoddy game, and it's full of shoddy production.

Third, it is the purpose of the Order.

In this city shrouded in the depths of the night, the Order, an organization that deserves to be a behemoth even when looking at the entire territory of the order, has an unusually thin sense of existence - but the Glory has never forgotten that the reason why they are trapped in this quagmire is entirely based on an "experiment" by Leonardo da Vinci.

Since it is an experiment, it will naturally have elements such as the test site, the test object, and the purpose of the experiment.

The City of Dead Silence is undoubtedly the venue, and the subject is most likely their group of sword-wielders who have implanted stigmata but have not yet awakened, but ...... What about the purpose?

What does the Order have to gain from this?

Instead, it will lose a large number of middle classes—conservatively estimated, at least seventy or eighty people are now dead in this darkness, and if you add the mysterious disappearance, it is not surprising that it can reach the triple digits.

Paying such a large price is by no means explained by a simple sentence of personal likes and dislikes.

He must have overlooked something.

- Maybe it has something to do with the Heavenly Gate Project, but Amy Ulysses's intuition faintly points to a possibility, a possibility that even he has a hard time accepting.

If you want to talk about evidence, in fact, there is a lot of accumulation now, and many places that could not be explained before can also be explained because of this, but ...... Even if you accept this setting, the method of breaking away is still not visible.

No, it should be even more slim.

Because...... The truth is so cruel and empty.

Everything is meaningless.

Finally, there is the king in yellow.

Why this ancient evil god who ruled the old world is still a mystery as to why he appeared here.

At first, he believed that he was the source of the Order's changes, a mysterious promoter behind the scenes, but as he gradually deepened his understanding of this suspicious world like a background painting, he became more and more aware of how strange and abrupt his existence and appearance were.

It's almost like an off-script existence.

When will the Lord of the Old Days, sealed under Canaan, reach out his tentacles into the deep night, how could the god of the earth let him get out of control, and ...... Judging from the information obtained so far, the city has nothing to do with Hasta, whether it is the altar for trading or the Mammon who is dubbed the Demon King, it does not have the wriggling, crazy, and crazy style of the old rulers.

Why, then, is He here, warning him not to meddle in His war with Augustus?

There are two reasons that can be thought of: one is that the long-dead city has a fallacy planted by a cultist who believes in his name, and his arrival just happens to trigger the mechanism, and second, he ...... And all the people in this dead city, in fact, did not leave Canaan, the glorious city of seals.

What will really be the case?

With the information available, even if there was a faint inclination in her heart, Amy could not convince her reason.

That's why we need more information to get here.

Come to the stone tablet that records the history of the city and the information of the demon king Mammon.

The baroque arched doors are magnificent and magnificent, and the ruins that can be seen everywhere in the darkness tell the story of the terrible battles that took place here, and the young glory man walks at the front of the queue, holding a lantern with a special gentle and cautious walk.

The road to truth is by no means an easy one.

He thought that the faint glow of the lantern illuminated the stone tablet in front of him.

“Amon、Amen、Amun、Aamon、Mammon、Maymon、Amaimon——”

Brushing away the dust accumulated on the stele with his hand, the young Glory One read the awkward pronunciation of the ancient language, and then his eyes shrank slightly: "Its name is Mammon, and it has three brothers, divided into four directions, illy Alex in the east, Mongola adorado in the west, and Yi Jien in the north, and they are collectively called La diablo in the four directions."

At this pause, the young man's gaze paused slightly on the inscription under the introduction.

——Aj . Scot

"Enoch ......"

He gently read out the name of the stele's author.
