The book-like object that had suddenly appeared in Merem's hand was small, only palm-sized, but its writhing, dark-red outer skin and strange, fleshy texture continuously exuded a nauseatingly sour odor.
"El-Nahat?!" Altrouge frowned, hastily lifting her fair, slender arms, covering her delicate nose with one hand while continuously fanning the air with the other, looking disgusted at the book in Merem's hand.
The moment the book appeared, a dark green gas continuously diffused from its surface, the sour smell quickly permeating the surroundings—it was the smell of stomach acid.
"Correct! It's the Scripture of the Stomach World!" Merem's face showed a dark smile. He rubbed the surface of the Scripture of the Stomach World with both hands, speaking teasingly.
The Twenty-fourth of the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors—El-Nahat, alias 'Scripture of the Stomach World.'
The reason for this alias was that this Ancestor of Dead Apostles possessed a special ability to almost certainly and completely obliterate an enemy in a one-on-one situation.
However, this Ancestor of Dead Apostles had been hunted down by the Burial Agency centuries ago. Due to his special ability, the Burial Agency used him as research material, eventually extracting his stomach while he was alive and using it to create the single-target annihilation scripture, the 'Scripture of the Stomach World.'
Because of his tragic encounter and his special ability, this Twenty-fourth Ancestor was exceptionally famous in the Magus world—unfortunately, not for a good reputation.
Originally, this scripture should have been managed by Narbareck, the Director of the Burial Agency, and El-Nahat, the second-in-command.
