Confusion

So demons were demons after all.

Their reputation was too terrible; even Charles could not tell what Kolsama was really planning.

For now, he could only take one step at a time.

At last, under Charles's surveillance, the Devil Legion's underground arrangements were fully completed.

That further accelerated the dwindling of the fire magic power underground.

A Devil Viscount had been monitoring the situation at Charles's wizard tower all along.
