"Ten," Tobias spoke up for immediately. "One for each ’sin,’ or that’s what they call them. Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, and so on. You know like Re:Zero if you ever watched the anime."

Zayn shifted slightly at that. "They’re powerful. Extremely. According to her, each one commands elite cultists and leads their own base of operations."
"We cross-checked what she told us with what little we already know," Tobias said. "And it adds up. There’s a base in the North — The Frostlands. One near the Eastern Marshes. And another in the Ruins of Varka."
Eve’s face darkened instantly. "The Ruins."
Cedric tilted his head. "What’s the issue?"
Tobias spoke, adjusting his glasses as he wanted to impart knowledge.
"According to what I know about the place from textbooks I’ve studied, The Ruins of Varka was a former mine where the kingdom administered multiple miners to digging out gold, silver and all sorts of other minerals, it was abundant with a lot of resources so naturally the Kingdom thrived with them until the day it became haunted... The Miners disappeared, other adventurers who were sent there vanished too and so the Kingdom sent an S-rank Adventurer."
Tobias took a deep breath.
