Serene Solitude Inn. Brol.
At the stroke of midnight, three of Labh Salem's four moons graced the sky, casting a frigid bluish hue upon the world below.
The nocturnal winds, though gentle, carried a subtle momentum, almost as if they sought to explore every corner within their reach. Silent, yet assertive, these winds announced their presence through whispers that seemed to caress one's ears.
In a specific chamber within the inn, these whispers took on a more pronounced form, transforming into an echoing recital of demonic verses.
'Saaa haa yaaaai...'
'Sheshekvyi....'
'Haaizaaaahvawhaaaaaooooo.'
The melodic demonic murmurs surrounded a man seated in a cross-legged position within a runic circle. Thanks to the meticulously arranged formation, these whispers remained confined within the room's four walls.
Accompanying the man was a young girl, seemingly on the cusp of her teenage years. She sat on the windowsill, her head nestled on her folded legs, gazing at the three moons illuminating the night sky.
One could not decipher the kind of mood the young girl was in. This was because she felt absolutely at peace with herself at this point, not allowing joy or sorrow to cloud her vision. As such, the reflection of the three moons in her eyes was as clear as clear lake water.
'I... I don't know why.... But I miss Anfang.'
All of a sudden, the young girl thought to herself and sighed. The feelings of homesickness took over, which blurred the clear reflection of the three moons in her eyes.
'Damn it. I have some bitter memories there. I thought of leaving that place behind me when I was captured inside the Purgatory.
However, she could instinctively feel that she could devour the demonic runes from the Faustian contracts as well. At least those that had been preprocessed by Eren.
Reen instinctively felt that her proficiency in wielding the demonic mana would increase by a lot if she were to devour the demonic runes. As such, she didn't shy away from asking for her share in Eren's "meal".
"Hmm. Just... just wait a bit longer."
Eren replied while keeping his eyes closed. He had been channeling the Rootless Technique while digesting the Faustian Rune Fragments. Although a Ranking Technique was slower than a Tantra, it was still better than not having either of them. Plus, the Rootless technique helped Eren a lot while he processed the rune fragments.
Eren felt as if he was starting to understand the mysteries behind the demon magic and the Faustian Contracts as he devoured the rune fragments one by one.
He also started processing the experiences of the demons the rune fragments originally belonged to before they died at Eren's hands. Especially the experiences that belonged to the four demons who acted as leaders of their own groups.
Eren let go of most of these experiences and only focused on the core essence of the Faustian Rune Fragments that helped him strengthen his connection with his divine throne.

"Hmmm?"
Eren's concentration was hampered when he received a series of prompts. He paused the process and accessed his Spectral Screen.
