THE UNHOLY GRAIL OF THE SAVIOR
"Are you alright?" I asked Eirot when she woke up.
"I am. I have another vision with the Madonna", she replied to me.
"What does she want?" I asked her.
"She wants me to awaken the Unholy Grail", Eirot said to us.
"What is the Unholy Grail?" I asked Meera who was the most knowledgeable among us on religious lores of the Savior.
"The Unholy Grail is the vessel of the Savior just like the Sword of Malevolence is the vessel that awakens the Dark Angel", Meera told us.
"So, the soul of the Savior is also awakening in your soul like the Dark Angel?" I asked her.
"The Trinity shall be awakened, that is prophesied in the Revelations", Meera told us.
"Who are the Trinity anyway?" Cassandra asked her.
"The Trinity are The Savior, The Serpent and The Dark Angel. They are the three strongest powers in Eden before they were cast into this world after the Battle of Armageddon", Meera told us.
"So, the Revelations is about the revival of the Trinity, and we are a part of it?" Eirot asked her.
"I do not know whether it is beneficial or safe for us to pursue this Revelations", Rinna said to us.
"What do you think? You are one of the Anti-Saints", I asked for Ratatouille's opinion.
"The mother Serpent was never revived in all the attempts of Revelations. The prophecies of the Revelation will not come true without the resurrection of the Mother Serpent", Ratatouille told us.
The Dark Angel and the Savior were revived many times before although ultimately, they were defeated before new incarnates appeared to carry and continue the burden of Revelations.
"Rinna is the incarnate of the Serpent of Temptation", Meera told us to our surprise.
"How do you know about this?" Ratatouille asked her.
"Rinna is the Serpent who slew Jormunan", Meera said to us as she brought out a scroll of the Revelations, depicting the Serpent of Trinity slaying Jormunan.
"Are you sure about this?" Rataouille asked.
"There is something that I almost forgot. Before I went to Byorgvin to help Orion slay Jormunan, the serpent, I had a dream with a Mother of Serpents. After that dream, my serpent magic improved unexplainably", Rinna told us to the surprise of most of us.
"You are not our mother", Ratatouille said to Rinna with suspicious eyes.
Ratatouille was the Anti-Saint of Greed, one of the Seven Deadly Sins. They were born from the temptations of the Mother Serpent. After the first Battle of Armageddon, the Serpent mother was never revived, so the Anti-Saints became the generals of the Dark Angel awaiting her revival.
"I am not your mother Serpent or at least she has not awakened yet", Rinna told Ratatouille in confirmation.
"The world will not be the same again if the Trinity are revived", Ratatouille said to us with serious thoughts.
"The prophecy of the Revelations will return the three of you to the thrones in Eden where you will rule the world in place of the Angels", Meera told us.
"I was told this is not the first time the incarnates of the Trinity attempted the prophecies of the Revelations and they all failed. How many Revelations were there that failed?" I asked Meera.
"It is true there were countless failures, but we must strive our best to complete the Revelations. It is our unavoidable destiny", Meera told us.
"Meera is right. I cannot avoid my destiny and also my responsibility", Eirot said to us.

[While Eirot was speaking to Madonna earlier in her Hell realm soul]
"Daughter, you have returned to me with a realm so reinvigorated. The Revelations have progressed", Madonna said to Eirot.
"Why do you call me?" Eirot asked Madonna.
"You shall awaken the Unholy Grail very soon. I ask you to prepare for its awakening", Madonna told Eirot.
"What is the Unholy Grail?" Eirot asked Madonna.
"The Unholy Grail is your greatest magic, our greatest magic. You will become truly the Savior of Revelations with its awakening", Madonna told Eirot.
"What is the price for the Unholy Grail's awakening? There must be something you want from me", Eirot asked Madonna.
"I want nothing except that you recover the power and glory that you once possessed, we once possessed together", Madonna told Eirot.
"Power and glory are not what I aspire to. I just want to be safe and peaceful with my loved ones", Eirot told Madonna.
"You will never be safe with your loved ones if you do not accept our powers. The Dark Angel has already been awakened and soon, even the Serpent will. There is no escape from this. Your destiny has already begun to manifest", Madonna told Eirot.

After the previous battle, Eirot's demon army has grown in strength and numbers. There was a need for new talents in her army.
Two Demonlords, Anthaz and Imalda from the surrendered Grey and Crawling clans were promoted to become our new generals. Both Anthax and Imalda were strong Demonlords who were on par with Brathnok in strength.
"What are we going to do about the coming invasion?" General Anthaz asked us.
"What is the situation on the ground?" I asked.
"Our scouts reported that the enemies came with fifteen thousand strong army. We have only eight thousand demons, but the shortage of number is not our main worry. The enemy brought several Inferno Kings, what are we going to do?" General Imalda asked us.
"Inferno Kings?" I asked our generals as I have memory of dealing with them before.
"The Inferno Kings are among the most powerful summons from the Pool of Suffering. They can ram and destroy castle walls with ease and there are no weapons who could destroy them because they will regenerate soon after they are broken", Imalda explained to me.
In my previous life, I fought with Inferno Kings before in Hell. Although I managed to defeat the Inferno King, it was through tactics that disabled it rather than defeating it by true might.
"How did the five castles get access to Inferno Kings?" Eirot asked them.
