I stared at the Prophet blankly, only moving to blink my eyes.

It took quite a while for me to understand exactly what kind of bullshit she was saying.

"...What?"

"I'm saying let's kill the thing inside Lady Tristan's body. It won't be a bad deal for you too, no?"

"..."

Hearing her saying it so casually once again confirmed that I didn't hear it wrong.

"What are you on about?"

"..."

If she didn't know what a Devil was, then I would've assumed that she was just ignorant.

However, considering what this punk had done so far, there was no way in hell that she didn't know jackshit about the Devils.

"..."

If anything...

Compared to me, who only knew about the Devils because of my knowledge of the game, it felt like she knew a lot more than I did.

As if she had 'experienced' them herself.

"We can kill Devils, you know that much, right?"

"..."

What she had just said proved it.

She was right. Well, you might be aware of it since the Final Boss of Sera was the Gray Devil herself. This heavily implied that the Devil could be 'cleared'.

"Just think of those Devils as parasites that stick onto those Vessels. Ultimately, those dregs will only have a negative impact on the Material World anyway."

"..."

"Also, because of your actions...the Vessels, the Hero, everything really, isn't proceeding the way you thought it would. I'm just giving you the option to make the story 'unfolds' in the direction you want. Shouldn't you thank me for that?"

I silently stared at her for a while.

Then, I said with a sigh.

"...Tell me, why are you trying to kill the Gray Devil?"

Right, this fucker had been particularly obsessed with Eleanor, hadn't she?

She even went out of her way to use a whole chapter boss to divert my attention just to kill Eleanor back at the Forge of Struggle.

"If you know the reason, what are you gonna do with it?"

Laughter was mixed in her voice as she replied.

There was a heavy tone of sarcasm in that laugh, as if to say, 'What can you do in this situation anyway?'

"You can't use the Holy Sword and the Devil's Vessels' help won't be able to solve the problem perfectly, considering the opponent is a Vessel bearing three Fragments. Do you even have another option if you were to reject my—"
