Chapter 317 (1/2)

[At the new headquarters]
[Kana point of view]
The princess, try her best to suppress all her emotions, but couldn't do so. While I never see it before, I do know from other that there are few occasions where she cried bucket. I think the last time she cried like this is back then, when the news of Ash's death. Princess Nurhaliza, hearing how emotionally devastated Princess Diana was, quickly cancelled all her appointment just so that she could be there for her, helping Princess Diana to slowly get back into her feet
I guess, given how Lara and Nara are resembling Ash (not in appearance, but in aspects of mainly blessings and fighting style), the thought of losing the two of them might cause more trauma to her. I'm just glad the worst case scenario didn't happen
””I see. It's a shame but after they've finish conquering the dungeon and getting the help from Tyrant Ant Drant, we will call them”” [Lara, Nara]
”And in the mean time, what will you do?” [Claude]
””We will help this group of vampires and giants, while also helping the search of The Holy Beast of Wind”” [Lara, Nara]
”And regarding the giants and vampires that's been experimented?” [Alaric]
”Don't worry brother, Saint Louis and his companions already put them on deep slumber sleep. Even if they were to transforms into the devils, with the deep slumber spell and various other countermeasure, I'm sure everything will be alright. This is Saint Louis we are talking after all” [Alicia]
”You're really exaggerating my measures” [Saint Louis]
”In any case. Those experimented guys. Bear some resemblance. Like I am” [Kadeus]
And Kadeus start to speak. It's true, since the experiment that Saintess Angela and Agnes done regarding the portal stone few years back do cause people to turn into a monster... Maybe their secondary objective back then, other than reviving their god was to create an army of new devils?
”We could just go there and take a look at it I suppose” [Rumia]
”Indeed. We can do that, but...” [Rafiah]
”Given how the current situation is...” [Diana]
”What? I'm sorry since I'm not really sure what's the problem here, but is it about Estel's safety?” [Kanji]
”Not that. We are just worried about Saintess Rumia safety” [Rafiah]
”Traveling won't be an issue, but given how Saintess Angela is one of the devil commander, and she's trying to make Saintess Rumia looks bad at best, this could be a trap of some sort” [Diana]
”I see... I fail to look into that aspect. At best, it's an attempt to make Rumia looks bad, but at worst, they're trying to recreate that once again” [Saint Louis]
”Could it be...” [Jacks]
”That?” [Alicia]
”They're trying to recreate the incident, six years ago. The beginning of devil invasion, to smear the good name of the new headquarters” [Alaric]
”!” [All]

[10th floor of the Beast Challenge Dungeon]
To think that one of the minion of Drant here exhibit a miasma trait only found from the devil, but not be consumed by the miasma to become the devil itself is pretty amazing.
From the looks of it, this minions keeps evolving days by days. Eating anything that it can get, and turn part of it into their own biological advantages. What next? It will then mates with the queen ants to pass the biological advantages to breed in stronger newer generation? If that's indeed the case, they're pretty good, in fact, they're necessary for our fight against the devils since they can use the devils weapon into their own advantage
