In the Abyssal Empire, within the Temple of Myriad Demons.
The Serpent Mage · Earthly Ghost with eyes gleaming sinisterly, and the Falcon Mage·Heavenly Ghost draped in wings, were locked in mutual gaze, each harboring their own thoughts.
Ever since their lord, "The Eternal Winter Lord", had held a private discussion with the "Singular Demon God" in the Hall of Abyssal Demons a few days prior, they had rarely seen the Eternal Winter Lord.
The Earthly Ghost could guess that the discussion was likely related to his own incompetence.
Although the Eternal Winter Lord did not explicitly say anything, nor did he punish the Earthly Ghost, the Earthly Ghost quickly realized after that damned "Kasi" betrayed them, that the information he last provided to the Eternal Winter Lord was flawed.
In other words, the assassination attempt personally carried out by the "Singular Demon God" had failed.
