Chapter 1830 Captured Spies In the Darkmoon Fellowship

Shaai found herself compelled to provide answers when Eren pressed for information. Overcoming her initial hesitation, she spilled the beans.

Eren learned that the Demon Prince of Lust, Asmodeus, had cautioned the upper-echelon members of the Darkmoon Fellowship about a potential infiltration threat.

While Asmodeus didn't reveal the identity or motives of the infiltrator, he advised them to take precautionary measures.

Despite the Darkmoon Fellowship's confidence in their recent recruitment of new talent, they heeded the suggestion from the Demon Prince and decided to proactively address the warning.

While the coven wasn't overly concerned about the lower-level Practitioners, they took special notice of individuals like Jolly Jalen, who was relatively new and possessed enough strength to pose a significant threat.

The coven, mindful of the potential challenges posed by the Hvergelmir Springs, aimed to expand its ranks rather than lose existing members. However, it also wanted its members to be loyal to its cause. Otherwise, the overdrive of recruitment would backfire.

Shaai was tasked with restraining Jolly by implanting mana-core-based restrictions, ensuring his allegiance to the coven. The goal was to dissuade potential spies or thieves by placing their mana core under scrutiny.

Of course, the organization didn't want to persecute Jolly without any good reason. The guy's track record was relatively clean and his identity was well-established. He also didn't give any reason for the coven to act against him.

Prosecuting Jolly for no apparent reason was bound to make their future recruitment of high-ranking entities harder. Considering the potential arrival of the Hvergelmir Springs in the near future, the coven only wanted to hire more people in its fold and not lose its existing members.

More importantly, Shaai was not instructed to retrograde Jolly's mana core by extracting his essence. This action was an impulsive decision on her part, driven by the allure of Jolly's vibrant vitality and rich Elemental Attainment. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

"Let me worry about what I can or can't get out of them. You worry about how to get me into the same room with those spies," Eren asserted, gazing out the windows. At this point, he recognized the necessity of spending time within the Darkmoon Fellowship to unravel the depths of this mystery.

Eren's deceased pseudo-avatar had faced an attack by Nira Nightshade and her subordinates when he sought information on a mysterious treasure mentioned in the memories of a Helenbora witch.

As the butcher discerned, Nira's force and the Helenbora coven were both pursuing the same objective, and the clues or key to the treasure resided within the Darkmoon Fellowship.

Such circumstances clarified the infiltration of spies by the two factions. The members of the Darkmoon Fellowship coven, however, remained oblivious to the treasure land or Nira Nightshade's interests.

As such, Eren guessed that the captured spies had not been interrogated with the right questions.

The Osan Woods' Butcher, confident in his own methods of torture, merely needed some alone time with these spies to extract the information he sought.

"Well, you can earn contribution points by completing missions assigned by the coven and then ask—" Shaai was interrupted by Eren before she could even complete her sentence.

"Nope. I don't want to play that game for years on end. I don't have that much time. What's next?" Eren asked while rejecting the first option suggested by Shaai.

"Um... you can try to break into the S-Rank and become a Kaiser," Shaai said after pondering for a while. "I– I guess I can recommend you as one of the grand elders in the co–" Before Shaai could complete her response she was interrupted again.

"Nope. I will not achieve a breakthrough into the S-Rank. At least not anytime soon," Eren shook his head. "What else?" he asked casually.

By this point, Shaai was internally fuming. She would have puffed her cheeks in indignation if she didn't want to act maturely in front of this mysterious man.

However, under the threat of survival, she had to come up with the quickest way to meet Eren's needs. And she eventually did.
