The genjutsu had laid bare the truth—Lobias was prepared to notify his fellow tribe members, potentially triggering a trap that would engulf Sin and his allies in a perilous and potentially deadly confrontation. It was a treacherous course of action that left Sin with a stark choice—allow Lobias to betray them and risk the mission's failure, or take decisive action to eliminate this threat.
With a heavy heart and an unwavering commitment to their mission's success, Sin had chosen the latter course of action. He knew that the pursuit of justice and the rescue of Lita necessitated unwavering resolve and a willingness to make difficult decisions. Lobias, by virtue of his betrayal, had become a liability that Sin could not afford to carry.
And so, in a swift and calculated move, Sin had orchestrated Lobias's demise, using his formidable wood style to siphon away the life force of the once-defiant figure. It was a chilling reminder of the harsh realities of their world, where survival often hinged on the ability to make ruthless choices in the face of adversity.
The chamber, now a silent witness to Lobias's lifeless form, carried a weight of finality. Sin's actions, while driven by necessity, had exacted a toll on both their adversaries.
As Sin's companions processed the aftermath of their encounter, they bore witness to the consequences of their mission—a path that demanded not only courage but also the resolve to confront darkness in all its forms. The living and the grotesque, united by a common purpose, understood that their journey was fraught with challenges and difficult choices, where the pursuit of justice often demanded the acceptance of the harshest realities.
Fatty Jack, his heart heavy with concern and anxiety for the fate of his beloved fiancee, Lita, wasted no time in following Sin as the group ventured forth from the chamber that had been a site of both horrors and revelations. His steps carried an urgency born of desperation, a palpable need to uncover the truth and rescue Lita from the clutches of the Mangeur D'os Tribe.
With a furrowed brow and a voice tinged with worry, Fatty Jack turned to Sin, seeking guidance and reassurance in this tumultuous journey. He voiced his concerns with a sense of urgency, asking Sin the question that weighed heavily on his heart, "Where do we go from here? What's our next step?"
Sin, the group's strategic leader and the driving force behind their mission, met Fatty Jack's worried gaze with a sense of determination. He understood the gravity of their quest and the need for a clear and unwavering course of action. Without hesitation, Sin provided an answer that carried both purpose and resolve.
His voice measured and resolute, Sin revealed their destination—the elusive Sameal County. It was a place that held the potential key to unlocking the mystery of Lita's whereabouts. While Sameal County lay relatively close to the Asmodeus Duchy, where they had encountered Lobias and the Mangeur D'os Tribe, the true challenge lay in the race against time.
Sin's words conveyed a sense of urgency that mirrored the growing anxiety in Fatty Jack's heart. The impending marriage that threatened to bind Lita to the Count of the Murmur family cast a long shadow over their mission. The knowledge that their friend's fate hung in the balance, that the sands of time were slipping away, added an extra layer of urgency to their quest.
The journey ahead, fraught with challenges and uncertainties, held the promise of both salvation and peril. For Fatty Jack, it was a quest to reclaim the love of his life from an unimaginable fate. For Sin and the group, it was a pursuit of justice and truth, a mission that transcended the boundaries of the known world.
Sin's mind raced with a sense of purpose as they embarked on their journey toward Sameal County, determined to rescue Lita from the clutches of the Mangeur D'os Tribe and the impending marriage to the Count of the Murmur family. While the looming marriage cast a shadow over their mission, Sin's strategic thinking and unwavering resolve led him to a profound realization—one that transcended the confines of mere documents and ceremonies.
As they made their way along the path, Sin contemplated the significance of marriage, a concept that held both legal and emotional weight. With a measured and reflective tone, he shared his insights with Fatty Jack, seeking to provide not just reassurance but also a deeper perspective on their mission.
"Even if that count marries Lita," Sin began, "it doesn't matter. We will deal with the devils." His words carried a sense of determination, a reminder that their mission was not solely defined by the legalities of a marriage contract. Sin understood that love and the bonds that tied individuals together transcended the mere papers of marriage certificates.
Marriage, in its legal and contractual form, was an institution governed by laws and documents. It was a binding agreement recognized by society, but it could not truly capture the essence of love, devotion, and emotional connection. Sin's perspective was a testament to his belief in the resilience of human emotions, a faith that love, once forged, could endure even the most formidable of challenges.
With this conviction in mind, Sin turned to practical matters, recognizing the need for rest and preparation as they journeyed toward their destination. He suggested that they would rest for a few hours in an inn, a place where they could recharge their energy and regroup for the trials that lay ahead. The urgency of their mission was undeniable, and every moment counted.
Fatty Jack, his face marked by a mixture of anxiety and determination, nodded in response to Sin's words. He understood the gravity of their mission, the need to act swiftly, and the importance of making every step count in their quest to rescue Lita. It was a mission fueled not only by love but also by a shared sense of justice and camaraderie among the group.
