The Dark Devil Church - Athea Kingdom Branch
Hyx, the leader of the Althea branch of the Dark Devil Church, sat only on his bone throne like a king without his subjects.
A pitiful sight.
He was quiet, deep in thought, probably because he hadn't heard from the men he sent to take care of the Alderford family.
Well, they were dead.
But he didn't know that yet—it had only been a few hours since their deaths anyway. Oh, he didn't know because he was confident his men would succeed.
But he was wrong. He had lost nine Root Sages and three Root Great Sages. Meanwhile, the ones in charge of the life crystals were debating who would deliver the news to their leader.
Undoubtedly, they wouldn't be walking out of there alive. They would die, and none of them wanted to be the one to bring that fate upon themselves. So, they pretended they hadn't discovered the 12 life tablets.
