The Royal Capital, noble district.
The once wealthy, prosperous noble district had become the hardest-hit area.
Demiurge had brought a great many imps to plunder the nobles' wealth and abduct their people everywhere.
Eve had thoughtfully compiled records for every target.
They seized people according to the list.
Among summoned low-level monsters, imps were some of the most intelligent.
Following Demiurge's orders, they did not let a single person on the list escape.
