After the whole summoning and the conversations that followed, we decided to move on with our daily routine and go to the gym. We gathered with Rita over there, and we even happened to et with Rose and Albert, who had also co to the gym to et .
Perhaps they knew this was part of my daily routine, because they ca specifically to talk to while pretending to do so exercise. And naturally, it had to do with the mysterious book I had showed them yesterday.
When they ca to visit due to Gabriel, I also allowed them to see the weird Demonic Book I got from Arcadia, to see if they could find anything out of it. Oh, they were also wondering if I was the owner of the Domain they felt.
"So you made a Domain… That's a very advanced ability that only the oldest of Druids could perform!" Said Rose. "To think you can do it seamlessly…"
"Hahaha, more or less." I giggled. "I did get so help from Spirits."
"You never cease to amaze , every single ti there's so news, it's about your insane feats." Albert was looking very tired. "…More importantly, we've found out a bit of the book. Here it is. I don't want to hold this thing; it is too demonic and evil even for . I already have a demon to take care of and he's a literal pain in the ass."
"Hey! Who are you calling- GEH!" Hellberos was quickly shut down by a glare from .
I took the book and quickly made it disappear inside of my inventory, which always amazed these two. Spatial Magic such as this was extrely rare, to the point no more than ten magicians in the whole world could wield it. Or so they say.
"Anyways, we already made a copy of most pages, and from what we've analyzed about it, the pentagrams and language used is very similar to the Demonic Books we have confiscated from Demon Cultists." Answered Albert. "I myself am the owner of one of such books, where Hellberos resided."
"Wait, they're the sa?!" I asked.
"Yes, the very sa." Rose nodded. "Did you find this book in a dungeon?"
"I did find it in a dungeon… But the weird thing is that these dungeons seem to be from another world separate from our own, why did the beings of that world have a book with demonic scriptures and pentagrams used for the demons of our own world?" I wondered.
"I don't know for sure…" Rose sighed. "But I think it might be one of the first proofs we have that the "other world" where the dungeons and monsters are coming from, might be much more connected and related to our own than we originally believed."
"It might also an that their Demons are the sa as ours…" Albert rubbed his chin. "aning that their Hell is the sa as ours, we share Layers, which is both fascinating and strange…"
"I have never heard of another world myself, so this is pretty new to too…" Hellberos said. "Well, I've been confined in that book for thousands of years, and now I'm trapped with this idiot so I can't really get an update from Hell…"
So, could this confirm that both Hells are the sa? Then the Cultists actions might have a bigger correlation to Earth than I originally believed!
We really need to put a stop to whatever wicked plans they have, no matter what…
"Thank you for this info, everyone." I smiled. "More importantly, I got so info from Gabriel today."
"He rembered sothing?" Albert asked.
"No, but he did tell about the battle between Demons and Angels, and that Demons are growing stronger after The First Contact." I explained. "Also, they're beginning to gather near the city, as the "focus point" for the "rise of their lord"…"
"What? This is…!" Albert panicked. "We have to report this to HQ right away!"
"Yeah, you're right…" Rose nodded. "Any more info, Elayne?"
"Well…"
I told them everything Gabriel told to , and once they had written it down, they quickly decided to go to headquarters, leaving the gym in a hurry.
Looks like they want to prepare for the worst… Hopefully we can do sothing so the worst case scenario never happens to begin with.
After that, I told my friends and family about what they found out.
"So this confirms we share the sa Hell with Arcadia?" Rita wondered. "This got even more deep than I imagined…"
"I don't know if it truly confirms it yet…" I said. "But there's a connection… And maybe the activity of the demons around town might be related to what the cultists are doing."
"Don't you think that this might be our fault?" Lily sighed. "We are the Demon King's primary foes, they're targeting us… So maybe we are in fault for bringing everything to this peaceful city…"
"I… Well, I can't say I haven't thought about that either." I said. "I sotis think about that a lot, but… Thinking about it won't resolve the problem, and even if we escape from the city, they might still attack it or… whatever they're planning on doing anyways."
"Don't bla yourselves for what's happening…" The Great Spirit said. "Even if you hadn't ever played BNLO yourselves, sobody else would have ended on your shoes one way or another. The Demon Kings were already planning on invading the Players' world, this wasn't sothing that your presence changed. In fact, without you being there, things might have only gotten worse."
"Is that so…?" I wondered, still feeling slightly guilty. "Well, we have to work harder to stop whatever they're trying to do. We have to both continue growing stronger and also complete the quests."
"Yeah, I agree." Nodded Rita. "No point in just thinking everything's our fault, we better work hard to make a difference."
"Wow, Rita, I never thought you would say sothing so inspiring!" Lily giggled. "You're right! Let's work hard, girls!"
"Are you calling an idiot with that statent?!" Rita lost her patience.
