The battle that took place in the main town of Marquess Arisawa Von Bloomgard ended with a mystery that has not been fully revealed.
Reports from a herd of stealth slimes who served as spy agents stated that various traces of dark magic were identical to those of the black octopus.
The black octopus may be a modified monster, just like the black slime and the Golden King Bear—a modified monster created by a heretical cult to carry out horrific acts behind the scenes.
From all of that, I can conclude that this cult has a secret operation that is troublesome to trace back to its main source.
I still needed more information before taking any further action and was forced to return home to continue my military expedition, which had been delayed by this personal matter.
Carrying out a counterattack and helping an adult woman who had become a victim.
"Hmm... I don't know why, I feel like I've forgotten something important..."
