Chapter 74: 074. Trap (1)
The old man was a person of considerable power.
The enemies of the Cult that he had just killed easily numbered in the dozens.
The problem was that even for an old man, using force against a student in the heart of the academy was certainly not an easy choice.
"He commanded us. This place could very well become our grave."
The old man's voice was like metal scraping against metal. All the combatants of the Demon Cult surrounding him looked around with tense eyes.
"Oh, the Demon Cult!"
"Those damn bastards are at it again inside the academy!"
No one showed even a hint of a friendly reaction, even as a joke.
The fact that the person they were targeting, Veris, was an enemy of the Cult was merely a suspicion, so the morale of the combatants was pitifully low.
This operation had to be executed swiftly.
"This is so indistinguishable from the academy that it could be a branch of the Demon Cult."
"Heh heh."
