Luvia shook her head gently in Shade's arms. Just as Adele could share more stories of the Doomsday Era after Shade advanced to the higher rings, the long-haired girl now had more she could say:

"Though there were a few times when I kept that sword in hand, I'm not skilled at using bladed weapons. Just like you have the Star Scar Longbow but rarely use it, I rarely used Night Watchman.

"Actually, most of the time I didn't deal with Demons. The Doctor handled several Demons on his own, and The Church's Demon Exorcism Squad could also seal evil fiends through sacrifice. Of course, sometimes I had no choice but to face Demons directly. That brings us to Seals.

"Most seal-type Thaumaturgy originated from the legacy of the Demon Hunters of the Third Epoch, such as the Heaton Seal you learned from the Sun Church. Do you know what the strongest seal developed by those hunters was?"

Shade held her and gently shook his head.

"I don't."

"It was the symbol on the Demon Hunting Seal—the 'Demon Hunting Sigil.' It is an offensive seal specifically meant to target evil. Its suppressive effect against Evil Spirit Demons is even stronger than holy water's suppression of the undead. After simplifying the seal, the hunters obtained the symbol on the seal, which also became their emblem.

"The Demon Hunting Sigil is a secret art that can represent the pinnacle of extraordinary power in the Third Epoch, the strongest power people of that era used to protect themselves. In the Sixth Epoch of the past, this seal was actually the method I used most often to deal with Demons. Casting empty-handed was far more convenient than swinging a sword."

"The Doctor counts as a Demon Hunter now too, but he's never mentioned this."
