Neph was recalling the events of the Bansy Harbor incident.

The details were rather hazy to her. Neph only knew the broad outlines: there was a passage here connected to the City of Calamity, Medici's descendants lived here, and the person who actually triggered this outbreak was Miller, a bishop of the Church of Storms.

Over the past few days, Neph had more or less explored all of Bansy Harbor. As a port city, it was not large, unlike Backlund with its many districts. Thus, there was only one church in all of Bansy Harbor, belonging to the Church of Storms. Its most important figure was a bishop. Neph was not quite certain of his exact level, but she doubted he had reached Sequence 5.

In any case, Neph remembered that Bishop Miller was inextricably linked to the whole affair. He was the one who killed Pastor Jess, then led the cultists in a ritual at the mountaintop altar.

At this point, Bishop Miller and Pastor Jess were both still alive. Neph did not really dare enter the Church of Storms, observing it only from a distance. Neither Bishop Miller nor Pastor Jess lived in the church. They were locals who rose early every day and made their way there.

This gave Neph room to act. She inspected Bishop Miller's memories at night. With the help of Amon's abilities, she had become considerably bolder than before.

The plans for the ritual had already been settled by then. While lamenting Pastor Jess's bad luck in walking straight into the line of fire, Neph relied on her extremely faint presence to approach the mountain, intending to take a look for herself first.

According to Miller's memories, even the greatest power the island could muster fell short of a demigod. This both reassured
