"I am Ophelia Neilheim! The Unholy Alchemist. The Ninth Hand of the Demon Lord, Belial!"
Those words seemed unbelievable, but her stature and confidence said otherwise.
It was clearly announced by the Heroes party that the Nine Hands were wiped out after the Demon Lord's execution, ripping them off of their amplified abilities.
Nevertheless, she was still a demon. A race Juri condemned.
[Juri]: "Impossible, the Nine Hands of Belial had been wiped out years ago in the Era of the Heroes. The Heroes can't be mistaken."
Maybe it was because of her blind trust in the heroes that had led her to believe so. The same heroes who had left and declared their neutral stand against the political affairs of the Kingdoms.
[Ophelia]: "Maybe it was impossible, but it was also pretty possible and easy for them to just be mistaken. After all, a dead body tells no tale."
Ophelia's vague explanation and response had left Juri in bewilderment.
