After Sebatide Hughes consumed the soul, he vanished again.
He should not have appeared on the battlefield; this brief thirty-second appearance had already caused widespread turmoil.
Roy surveyed the surroundings, raised Elrian's head amidst the panicked gazes, and shouted loudly.
"The Emperor of Orenze has fallen under Valtorre's sword! Elrian is dead! His soul devoured by the Devil—"
Roy didn't even need to deliberately incite.
Many people had witnessed Elrian's repeatedly healing inhuman form during battle. In the past, similar situations could be brushed off with the effects of Healing Technique or medicine, but this time Roy's attacks were too frequent, making his body's peculiarities inexplicable by ordinary means.
Moreover, after Elrian died, the Devil descended and made an act of devouring.
Connecting the two events, it was easy to draw a conclusion.
Elrian sold his soul to the Devil.
This terrifying realization spread across the battlefield with a frenzied speed.
