Chapter 893
## Chapter 893
Three days have passed since Kelliark went to the third prison of the Poisonous Demon Castle.
The Vamel alliance received a letter from a bar in the Kingdom of Mila. The bar is called ‘The Tabernacle,’ a premium membership establishment, and was one of Misha’s main hideouts.
“Wow… Impressive. They said they would set up a regular form of communication somewhere in the human world, but I didn’t expect them to use this place.”
The ones who sent the letter through the Tabernacle were none other than Tilias and Misol.
“Huh? How did those idiots find their hideout? They must be well-informed guys. Man, now that I’m done recovering, let’s go together.”
Jin and Murakan immediately boarded the Red Owl and headed towards the Kingdom of Mila.
“They have arrived.”
The manager guided them to the waiting room. Tilius and Misol stood up and greeted the two as Jin and Murakan entered the room. Tilias and Misol were enjoying the good food of the Tabernacle.
“Fortunately, it seems they’ve been alright without much trouble since they returned. Tilias, Misol.”
“That’s right.”
“Hey, the food here is really delicious. Do you two eat this kind of stuff every day? We mainly process and consume the souls that fall to hell. More than that, is that Murakan, the Black Dragon, over there?”
“Why is she so quick with her words? Yes, I am Murakan.”
“Nice to meet you, Murakan. I’m Misol. You know, this is Tilias. We give you a formal greeting.”
“This time too, Tilias, you will take care of most of the explanations… Misol, please understand.”
“Of course, Jin Runcandel.”
Jin took a seat and observed the two.
“How did you find this place?”
“We looked for public facilities that are difficult to access in the human world. Excluding those of Kinzelo and Zipple, we focused on Hufester and neutral areas. Then we made a reservation under the name Silkia Arcia, and the only place that readily accepted her was this one.”
“Silkia Arcia?”
“She was a member of the True Demon World during the Holy Kingdom protection war. Also a member of Visepps.”
Although it wasn’t widely known, Jin had heard from Zephyrin that during the Holy Kingdom protection war, the demonic army was composed of both the True Demon World and the middle world.
“Huh? That devil helped the True Demon World during the Holy Kingdom protection war? I’ve never heard of anything like that. I mean, I hate talking to that devil, but…”
“If you ask the Black Dragon Misha directly, you might find out.”
Since Misha was currently acting as Solderet’s substitute, it wasn’t a matter that could be easily confirmed.
Shortly after, Jin called the manager, and he confirmed that what Tilias was saying was true.
“The owner has informed all the hideouts that conduct external business like our Tabernacle about the name ‘Silkia Arcia.’ The owner insisted on granting permission whenever anyone with a debt requested a reservation. Besides Silkia Arcia, there are a few more people like that. Most of them are dragons.”
Once the manager left, Jin nodded. He wasn’t the type of person who could be easily manipulated. Even if Tilias and Misol had brainwashing and mind control abilities, there was no reason for them to choose the Tabernacle. It would be better to choose someone in Tikan or Hufester if they possessed such abilities.
“A strange connection. Did Miss Misha know she was a member of the True Demon World?”
“The Black Dragon Misha probably wasn’t aware of Silkia’s background. At that time, Silkia was like many other demons, forcibly recruited, and she decided to desert her post. She got injured while evading pursuers and entered a cave, where she encountered the Black Dragon Misha.”
“That devil wasn’t someone who should help anyone, especially if they were demons.”
“Well… I don’t really know the reason why the Black Dragon Misha helped Silkia back then. If it weren’t for her, Silkia would have surely died. Maybe the Black Dragon Misha saw something in Silkia.”
“Like what?”
“Maybe a love for the world.”
There was silence for a moment at Misol’s answer.
“…It wasn’t long before we learned about this from Silkia. I first heard it from her after our encounter. Silkia might have known about our meeting and shared this fact. She mentioned contacting the top-tier taverns of the human world under the name Silkia Arcia. Thanks to that, we were able to establish a form of communication so quickly.”
The connection between Misha and Silkia was intriguing, but it wasn’t a crucial matter at the moment. In fact, it could be easily confirmed when Misha temporarily arrived in the human world.
“Alright, I understand and I will move on. So, I’d like to hear the reason for contacting me this time.”
“We have obtained new information that you need to know.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about your siblings.”
Jin’s eyes widened.
“…Siblings?”
“The ones who died and ended up in hell. Myu Runcandel and Anne Runcandel, as well as Ran Runcandel and Vigo Runcandel.”
After the existence of the True Demon World, in other words, hell, was revealed, Jin had often thought about the individuals who would undoubtedly have ended up there.
When he went to confirm the first transfer fracture that opened in Romp, he thought about Kidard Hall. When he visited the main maritime base of the True Demon World, he briefly reflected while observing the tormented souls of humans.
Somewhere in there, would be the villains he had killed, and his siblings. And now, Tilias was revealing that this was true.
“Were they all in hell?”
“Yes. And Paellito has plans to use them to attack Luna Runcandel.”
Of course, Paellito had never mentioned such plans to Tilias and Misol. He had simply ordered to stop the production of soul wine throughout the True Demon World.
Based on this order, Visepps speculated about the reasons and had recently obtained information that turned those speculations into certainties.
“Is that so? Hm, whatever! If the day comes when I meet those wayward guys again, even then, I will definitely scold them.”
“Will there be a day to meet them again?”
“Well, I’ll grow old and die someday too, so wouldn’t we eventually meet somewhere like the afterlife?”
“Even if there is a place like the afterlife, Elder Sister, you and they would probably be in different places.”
“Huh? Anyway, that’s how I feel. I’ll definitely scold them. When it happens, I’ll give them a good lesson.”
A conversation between Jin and Luna on the day he returned from the Black Sea to the Garden of Swords.
At that time, Luna, burdened with guilt over the deaths of her siblings, including Joshua, had said that she would definitely scold them when they met again. But deep down, Jin was worried about what might happen if such a confrontation occurred.
“There is something called ‘Soul Wine.’ It’s a demonic drink made by processing the human souls that have fallen to hell. Paellito stopped the production of Soul Wine to find them, but Misol and I went to the Poisonous Demon Castle before fighting the White Whale. However, Ragal, the owner of the Poisonous Demon Castle, was consuming Soul Wine.”
There were also Visepps spies in the Poisonous Demon Castle. One of them was the dungeon keeper, who didn’t directly oversee the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prisons that are present in the lowest level, but was in a position to gather information about them to a certain extent.
“Ragal… Wasn’t he the demon who injured Elona Zipple? The one who deals with poison.”
“That’s right. Ragal Fun. He’s an individual who is always trying to surpass Paellito and eagerly seeks opportunities. Somehow, he’s also receiving Zito’s favor. In any case, according to the spy planted in the Poisonous Demon Castle, Ragal has secured the individuals believed to be your siblings.”
Ragal is the one who threatened even Elona Zipple using a despicable method. Jin felt a sense of frustration after thinking that such a Ragal was holding a hand that could be Luna’s weakness.
“So, that’s why Ragal was consuming Soul Wine. Can you secure them?”
“At this moment, it’s not possible. The lowest level prisons in the Poisonous Demon Castle are under special administration, so even our spies can’t get close to them.”
“How about informing Paellito about the fact that Ragal is holding them?”
“Although those two undoubtedly have a significant difference in abilities, their status is at a similar level. Ragal won’t receive punishment for disobeying someone like Paellito. There’s a high probability that Zito will cover for him… Besides, whether your siblings are with Ragal or Paellito, the outcome will be the same. It will give the White Whale a psychological blow.”
The demons were still constantly forming fractures in various places in the human world. Luna, who was at the forefront suppressing them, couldn’t be excluded from the battlefield for the time being.
As things stood, Luna’s encounter with her siblings was inevitable.
“Can you tell me the day they will be deployed in battle?”
“We can probably guess up to that point. Our spies just need to confirm the day the lowest level prisons of the Poisonous Demon Castle are opened.”
Jin nodded and handed them a portable communication device.
“Take this communication device. Install it in the Tabernacle and notify me immediately when my siblings in hell are taken to the battlefield.”
“During that time, should you keep the White Whale on standby while you plan to personally participate in the battle?”
“Yes. But Tilias, if I had to kill souls that are already dead… What would happen?”
“They would be annihilated. They would cease to exist anywhere in this world. Neither in hell, nor in the cycle of reincarnation.”
Jin nodded in understanding.
“Is there any other information you can provide?”
“There is a person named Layla Belgasyum, Paellito’s younger sister. It seems she has received separate orders under Zito’s command… But we haven’t obtained the details yet. However, Layla Belgasyum will also appear in the human world soon. She’s different from other Demon Kings you’ve encountered so far, so be careful.”
“Understood.”
“We will contact you through here next time we want to meet. We were allowed to rest for a while after the last battle, so we should be able to communicate more freely with you for a while.”

At the same time, in the Poisonous Demon Castle.
Kelliark was enjoying a dinner with Ragal, thanks to his kindness.
“To think you’ve already found five suitable souls for the Zipple side… It’s lucky to find someone like you. That’s why I’ve taken you out of prison today. Drinking alone in such gloomy places doesn’t feel good, does it?”
Kelliark smiled without responding. And just as the two were about to toast, a servant suddenly rushed in.
“Sir Ragal!”
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s a problem in the lowest level prison… The four prisoners have disappeared!”
“What?!”
Ragal immediately ran to the dungeon. All the guards had been knocked unconscious, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prisons were wide open and completely empty.
“Immediately seal off the entire extreme poison zone and find them!”
Then, belatedly, Ragal turned to Kelliark, who had followed him.
“Kelliark Zipple… I considered you a friend. How dare you stab me in the back like this? Let me personally show you what true hell is like…”
