Angel was thinking.
The information Hai had revealed in her earlier words was actually immense.
The one who could give Gruda orders had to be a demon, and a great demon at that. In present-day Lasudelan, that left only the seven seats of the Void Giant Tower.
Excluding the already dead Baphomet, six remained.
From what Hai had said, the mastermind was a great demon unrelated to her, so Iyadase and Edesinos could also be ruled out.
Angel also did not believe that Minotaur, who had been severely wounded not long ago, could recover in such a short time and then manipulate so many lesser demons to intercept him. If Minotaur was excluded as well, only three remained.
Nitotip, Komodo, and Jupiter.
Of the three, Nitotip was the most likely by logic. After all, it was an ocean demon. Judging by its affinity, Ocean Rhythm would probably still be of some use to it.
However, Nitotip was currently in the Void Giant Tower, and not long ago, Angel had observed Nitotip through a wisp of wind. From beginning to end, it seemed not to have paid any attention to him. Thus, Angel did not think it was Nitotip either.
As for Jupiter, according to Canaan's original words, it was a demon interested only in food. It did not seem likely to be Jupiter, either.
That left only one candidate.
—Komodo.
If it truly was Komodo, Angel found it utterly absurd. Among the seven seats of the Void Giant Tower, Komodo alone was a purely fire-element demon.
Or was his deduction wrong?
Angel quietly voiced his thoughts. Canaan fell into thought after hearing them, while Fafnir, who had been walking at the very front, suddenly stopped.
"Sometimes, the more absurd and unrestrained something is, the more likely it may be." As
