Chapter 230 The Black Sabbath

Raised In Dungeon Volume 5

Road to Oxwadeshire Academy

The Satan's worshipers have an ordo called The Ordo of Seven Devils; they are all high priests of Daemon Servus who lead the organization. Each of them possessed the Book of Legis, which allowed them to use demonic mana outside the dungeon.

Once a year, they have a day called the black sabbath, on which they do nothing strenuous and eat nothing. And on the black sabbath, the High Priests of the Black Church gathered.

In a very dark room, there was a very large coffin, about four times bigger than a human body. Underneath the coffin was a red light, which was the room's light source, but it was dim, not bright enough to make you see the room entirely.

Ten people were surrounding the coffin, sitting on a silver chair with a carved snake and goat that was 3 meters high; they were the high priests who gathered after five years of separation around the world.

The High Priest, Father Alester, plucked a single strand of hair from his head and placed it within a cup, the cloven grail. The other nine high priests followed suit. As they do this, an ethereal glow emanates from the grail. After that, the contents were spilled onto the coffin in the center of the room. Astonishingly, in an enchanting display of magic, the blood seamlessly permeated into and was absorbed by the coffin, akin to water being absorbed by parched soil.

"They are so exiguous," Father Alester said.

"No wonder, because someone had used the blood and souls that we have collected over the past five years," said one of the high priests.

"So my feeling about that was right, huh? That's why my cup was also drained immediately."

"Summoning Lord Satan in an imperfect state, what were you thinking?"

"How selfish, even though I've always wanted to do it but always refrained from doing it. You're not someone who deserves to be a high priest."

After much babbling about how angry everyone was that their five years of effort had disappeared, Father Alester finally spoke to Laveya.

"Mother Laveya, can you explain to us why you used this?"

"Trial and Salvation, and then lust," Laveya replied, smiling.

"Hooo..."

"First, with this we can confirm that the contents in the cup are not affected by space, meaning that all ten cups are connected to each other. Secondly, it's obvious that we can summon Milord using the grail, and the summoner can give orders."

"!!!"

Even though they had never tried it, they already knew that it could summon Satan based on its book. However, the information that "Summoner can give orders to Satan" is new to them.

"Commanding Lord Satan, how presumptuous."

"I'm just saying commands for his body parts; after all, I'm still doing it for the sake of him."

"For the sake of him?! Are you joking?! Aren't you just afraid of death?!"

Without answering it directly, Laveya thought, 'Of course not; I already have a good vessel to become my next Milord.'

"Please let Mother Levaya explain first; questions can be asked later," Father Alester said.

Laveya continued, "I received information about our milord's new vessel."

"Satan's vessel?!"

"Did you really find it? Where is it now?!"

This time, Father Alester spoke: "This is indeed contrary to what I said earlier, but let me ask.

You found our lord's vessel, but why didn't you bring it here?"

"I was dealing with the Rounds Birawa Budiono, if he was alone, maybe I could handle it, but he brought a party that was quite troublesome to fight, so I wanted to escape as much as possible to save my life. At least I want to tell you the information about our Lord's container."

"Elaborate."

"As the book says, he has black and white hair and control over demonic mana. It's just that I can't take him home because of the knight of rounds and..."

"What?"

Laveya thought back to her encounter with Allen and recalled the whisper Allen had said to her that night.

"He was killed," Laveya replied, lying.

"Ki-killed?!"

"Unfortunately, one of their priests realized we were coming for the boy, so they quickly killed him."

"Then what you're doing is pointless!"

"We haven't needed a master vessel in years!"

"Finding the vessel's existence in this vast world will be very difficult; if he dies, we have to wait another ten years for a new one to be born."

"Having a vessel is useless if our master can't even be born in this world, and it's because someone used the five years soul to create the fake one."

In the room, there was babbling from everyone. The commotion was instantly dispelled as soon as Father Alester tapped the hand of his chair, which, surprisingly, made a loud noise.

"So this is the information you wanted to convey to us, to the point that you sacrificed the souls we collected for five years?"

"That's right," Laveya replied.

"Every little second of information is important, but it's not as important as the collection of souls in the grail you have used. You should die at that time rather than convey this unnecessary information to us." Alester said.

"Yeah, I understand, and then I'm sorry… I just knew that he was killed after I performed the summoning ritual."

Everyone looked at Laveya with a face that looked upset. Laveya admitted her mistake, but with a smile on her face.

'Is it possible that Laveya is a traitor?' Alester thought at that time, he had a feeling that Laveya was hiding something from them, or maybe lying.

You see, all high priests are people chosen by their lord, and their faith in realizing their lord's dream is very high, so it is certain that high priests are loyal to Satan.

Moreover, Laveya's reputation as an assassin was very useful for Daemon Servus' future movements, so he could not just remove her from that position.

"Since it has already happened, what can we do? No matter how much we argue about it, things that have already happened will never come back. Plus, we still need Mother Laveya as the high priest.

But of course we can't just leave her like that. As punishment, Mother Laveya, you are not allowed to use the grail, nor are you allowed to use the book of legis, do you understand?"

"I understand, Father Alester."

"Anybody have an objection?"

"NO OBJECTION," said everyone.

In her heart, Laveya thought, "Milord, Allen. As promised, I will keep you hidden until that day comes. There cannot be anyone else more suitable as Milord's vessel than him."

As soon as she re-imagined the Allen she met that day, her face turned red again; her eyes widened like they were going to pop out, then she hugged her body tightly and strongly.

" I can't wait to see you again, my lord."

After discussing Laveya's mistake, they went on to discuss the threat they would face in the future.

Specifically, the reincarnation of heroes.

"Unlike our master vessel, heroes can only reincarnate once every 1000 years. And according to Liber's Reverse Testament, all the heroes' reincarnations will be in the same era in 10 years. We can assume that nine of them have already been born in this world and are just waiting for the 10th to be born.

Heroes are the source of havoc for our lord, they have strange but excellent luck and destiny and many minuses and haxes to defeat our lord. Therefore, before our Lord rises, we must kill them. That way, we can have 1000 years to build our strength before the next hero is born."

"Speaking of heroes, haven't we already know one of them? Percival Delamare Benchmandy, the prince of the kingdom of Benchmandy. Why haven't we moved to attack him from now on?"

"Father Joshep, you just took the place of the father who Rounds killed, so maybe you don't know we can't touch Percival anytime soon," Alester replied.

"Why is that?"

"Because Percival is currently at Oxwade Academy, we should wait until he finishes his studies."

"I still don't understand. Why don't we just attack the academy? With our strength, it would be enough, right?"

"It's not that easy; the academy has an army equal to the country, and there is the headmaster, Eliphas Ingranius, the person called 'untouchable,' and 'strongest caster' and 'the sorcerer king' in the world. If we attack the academy, even if we win in the end, the losses will be huge."

"Then..." Joseph stood up while covering his mouth and nose with three fingers of his left hand; Showing respect, he spoke, "I will attack the academy alone."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, if we capture the hero and put him in the cup, we can increase the supply of souls for 10 years. With this, we will speed up the birth of our master."

"Doing that yourself—how arrogant."

"But, if he succeeds, then the benefits will be huge."

"Attacking the academy has been put off for a long time, maybe it's time."

Laveya said, "Father Joseph, if you intend to cover my mistakes, thank you; I don't need it."

"Don't talk anymore, bitch. I just want to speed up the birth of our Lord so that we can all rule this world even faster."

'Yup, her guts are out, he likely wants to rule over the milord completely; his desire is to use the milord for his own selfishness,' Laveya thought.

Then finally, Father Alester decided.

"Alright, but be careful. Prepare an escape route if necessary. I will send information about the academy to you through my subordinates later."

"Thank you, Father Alester.

With my trope, I will invade the Oxwade Academy alone."

"Any objection?"

"NO OBJECTION"
