"Hey, it isn't as if I don't want to interrogate them, but such a thing is extremely hard to do for Cultists, which are able to transform into Demons themselves, and are bound with contracts to higher demons such as Demon Dukes and Archdemons. Once they spill the beans to a stranger, they often get killed or have their memories deleted." I said. "We've fought many before, so we know how it usually goes."

"T-That's…!" Arthuria muttered, trying to find some fault on me. "…"

She remained silence.

"Arthuria, calm down for a bit, it feels like you're trying to find fault on anything he's saying now." Clark said.

"Well I… My family is that of Paladins and Knights." Sighed Arthuria. "We've been taught to protect people and slay demons and monsters since I was young, to just be told to slay a person… I…."

"Ah, I see." I nodded. "I was suspecting you of being a demon cultist but I guess you're just another spoiled brat."

"Y-You! Look I've been rather tolerant with that attitude of yours, Blake! But you simply can't adress a noble like me in such a tone!" Arthuria finally broke her "calm and composed character" at long last, seeing her break was quite fun to see. I wish Erika Elizabeth and Chris were here to laugh with us.

"Oh my, look at her." Laughed Eleanora. "Milord, should I shut her down?"

"Don't do anything rash, this is just the fit of a spoiled girl at the end of the day." I shrugged. "More importantly, however, we'll begin preparations once everyone's done eating. I'll be making tons of Holy Water Bottles using Alchemy, I'll need your help for that, Arthuria, your holy magic will come in handy."

"Hah… Fine, but adress me better!" She said angrily.

"Maybe if you become more competent I could recognize you as a companion." I said.

"Y-You damn…!" Arthuria was growing more frustrated.

"Arthuria…" Clarice's hand reached Arthuria's shoulder.

It was obvious Clarice was from her same Kingdom, and the Knight Family serving her family was that of Arthuria.

"Y-Young Lady Clarice…" Arthuria muttered.

"Behave, are you trying to embarrass me now?" Clarice angrily said.

"S-Sorry! I am deeply sorry for my misconduct!" Arthuria began bowing her head.

"Sigh, this girl…" Clarice sighed. "Anyways, help Blake do the preparations!"

"Y-Yes!" Arthuria nodded.

Like that, we began preparations. We not only created dozens of bottles of Holy Water, but we enchanted all the Fiery Grizzly coats to make them better and more useful. Using Alchemy, Synthesis, and Eric and Alberta's help the new coats were done in a flash.

Ding!

[You and your Party have enchanted and successfully evolved the [Fiery Grizzly's Anti-Fire Fur Coat (D Grade)] x20 into [Fiery Grizzly's Anti-Demon Holy Fur Coats (D+++ Grade)] x20!]

[You earned 10000 Sewing Skill Proficiency!]

[You earned 100000 EXP!]

Everyone quickly wore their new coats, which were now shiny, having a golden brightness to them. These coats were now enchanted with Holy Water and Holy Ashes we got from the Rock Goblin King that Saphira purified into ashes using her weapon transformation attack.

"These coats now have a high resistance against Darkness Attribute and Demon Attribute magic. This should be a pretty good protecting against the Demon's deadly demonic magic." I said. "Remember that if you're not experienced fighting demons, do not confront them head-on nor in the frontlines. Due to their otherworldly powers and magic, a hit from their magic or their claws or demonic weapons will infect your wounds with demonic energy, which will be very hard to clean and heal without a proper Saintess in the team."

Everyone nodded, understanding the immense value of their new coats. I personally had another extra protection in the ring that Elizabeth had gifted me…

-----

This ring was now Level 4 after fighting and slaying so many Demons since I acquired it, so its bonuses and abilities had all increased even further. It was also thanks to this ring that I was able to contact the Holy Spirits.

Come to think of it, I didn't drink the Fire Elixir the Holy Spirit of Fire gifted me at the end. Could he had gifted it to me for something else? Perhaps… I did see some Demons that were quite adept at Summoning Magic there.

It might come in handy in a situation I didn't expected, perhaps I did good in saving it for later.

"We're here."

Once we arrived at the scene, we remained hiding amongst the tall bushes of the Central Plains of this area, which resembled Savannas. Just a mile from where we were, there was a massive Demon Settlement with a large wooden wall, several fortresses, and a big tower made out of wood and large monster bones, holding a red jewel on top.

And right there, there were four cultists on black coats conjuring something. Could they be conjuring a special spell or something to deal with us? We also saw several more cultists in the settlement, mostly commanding the demons.

If the demons are so obedient, these cultists most likely were the ones that brought them here and told them to build settlements.

"We'll begin our attack in a pincer shape. Also, once we infiltrate inside, I'll summon all of my Familiar Army to deal with the Demons. There will be chaos, and there might be those that could die in here. Be careful and protect one another. I'll give you commands as we fight, and do as the plan we discussed previously goes, understood?" I asked everyone.

They all obediently nodded, some more obedient than others, but they all understood it.

This is it, time to end the day with a big event.

[The Holy Spirits are spectating the event with high hopes for your victory.]

[The [Holy Spirit of Light] has granted you temporary power over the [Holy Light Blessing] Skill to your [Holy Spirit Ring (Mythic-Grade): Lv4]!]

[By using the [Holy Spirit Ring (Mythic-Grade): Lv4], you can now enchant your allies with a [Holy Light Blessing], increasing their holy light damage, granting them the holy light attribute, and also decreasing damage taken from darkness and demon attributes.]

Hoh, it seems the Holy Spirits are not messing around any longer.
