Trial Verdict

A month later.

Whoosh!

A mechanical bee zipped through the air and proceeded to land in front of Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle. With a succession of knocks on the door, Grimm, who was observing the indentations on the severed branches' cross-sections, sighed before tucking them away.

"Caw! Young Master, it seems they have reached a verdict on your judgment. Time for me to scoot then." Myna said, before dodging into the Dimensional Gap.

Grimm hurriedly made a final visual check on his laboratory before flying down to open the big door to his Demon-Hunter Castle.

"Grimm?"

Both the two Demon-Hunter Sorcerers at his door wore eye masks like flies' eyes. The crystal surface on the eye mask shimmered in a dark red hue. Besides the eye mask, both of them had black veils covering their faces, giving them an unusually mysterious demeanor.

Grimm nodded and replied solemnly, "Yes."

Clink…
