Bloody words

"Loki, are you sure that Demeter is Enyo?"

His lips twitched, and he couldn't believe what he had heard.

Why Demeter?

While he admitted that she had big assets, it was hard to believe she had such a big conspiracy.

"I am not sure."

Loki walked out of the gate of the Souma Familia and said solemnly. "You know what? When I learned about Enyo, our first suspect was Dionysus!"

That's right!

Their first suspect was Dionysus!

That's why Loki didn't plan to let Dionysus Familia go with her during their last battle. She didn't invite them because their Familia was weak, but she suspected Dionysus was an Enyo. After all, it was the final battle.

What if something happened?

However, there was one thing that Loki could be sure of.

"There are many reasons for me to suspect Dionysus. For example, when we were looking at the second entrance of the man-made dungeon, he took the initiative to investigate the Orario. On the other hand, we went out to investigate it like he was hiding something from us."

It was like Dionysus tried to keep Loki Familia away for a while.

Lastly, even Dionysus might appear like a gentleman, but everything was just a disguise, and Loki had seen through his guise.

However, when he came to the door, Loki changed her mind.

If she let him enter the man-made dungeon together, he would expose his identity, so Loki deliberately pretended to allow his Familia and let the Dionysus Familia to battle.

However, who would have thought that Dionysus was caught in a trap?

Drinking divine wine would have a terrible effect. Even a god wouldn't be immune to its effect.

However, no one could tell that Dionysus was drunk.

By the time everyone realized it, it was already too late.

Dionysus was killed, and all of his Familia members were wiped out.

While Loki thought the one who was killed was a different god, the fact that all the members of the Dionsynus Familia had lost their blessing was a fact. By this point, her suspicions were eliminated toward Dionysus, and Loki fell into confusion again.

Who is Enyo?

This question was answered, and no one knew this person's identity.

However, they didn't expect they would get a clue from Souma.

The god who could brew this divine wine was probably the real Enyo!

And the god who made the grape of the divine wine was Demeter!

"Let's send someone there."

Loki said without hesitation.

The two soon returned to the Loki Familia and asked a group of people from Finn before they went to the southwest area of the Orario in a hurry. When they arrived, they slammed the door of the building like a debt collector.

Tsukasa followed hesitantly and didn't want to join, but Loki kept grabbing his hand, making him helpless.

Leaving aside his relationship with Freya, he didn't want his relationship with Demeter to be known.

"Huh? Where are all of them?"

Loki walked into the headquarters of the Demeter Familia.

The building was empty, without a single person, and it seemed that no one had been there for a long time that a layer of dust had accumulated on the tables and chairs.

"There is a smell of blood!"

The dog man touched his nose and indicated the direction of the basement.

Loki gestured with her chin at Tsukasa, letting him take the lead.

"......."

Tsukasa sighed inwardly, hoping that Demeter wasn't around. Still, he opened the door of the basement, and a strong smell of blood invaded everyone's nose directly.

"Become extinct, Orario. I'll open the path to the underworld".

Tsukasa said slowly.

Such a line was written on the wall with blood. It was so conspicuous, as if the writer wanted everyone to see it.

"Can you read the sacred text?"

Loki was surprised.

"I learned it from Riveria."

Riveria had been living quite long, and she learned many things, including language.

Their relationship started when she started to teach him many things, and language was one of the things she taught him.

Still, he was glad that Demeter wasn't around.

However, he also felt worried for another reason.

"As expected, so the Demeter is Enyo?"

Loki didn't pursue further investigation but focused her attention on the blood on the wall.

The first time Tsukasa came to the Orario, Demeter was the first goddess who shared a bed with him.

Yet she was the mastermind who wanted to destroy Orario?

If this didn't surprise him, he would be lying. He rubbed his nose, but he didn't say anything since he didn't want to jump to a conclusion.

However, he must admit that it was amazing since he didn't expect that he was still alive even though he shared a bed with Demeter and even at her house.

"But what is the meaning of the path to the underworld?"

Loki frowned thoughtfully.

Did the path of the underworld have something to do with the evil dragon, six people, and even the green flesh?

"It feels like something is missing."

Tsukasa looked at the line written in blood on the wall and felt a sense of strangeness in his heart. He knew that even though the gods and the mythology in this world were different from the one in his original world, they were also quite similar.

For example, Demeter is the god of agriculture, Thanatos is the god of death, Loki is the god of death, and Hephaestus is the god of a blacksmith.

If he remembered correctly, Dionysus was also a god of wine in the Greek myth, right?

Yet Dionysus was drunk on divine wine.

Still, it was better for him to ignore that fact for a while and think about the various myths in his original world.

He remembered in Greek Myth that Demeter had once caused a famine because her beloved daughter, Persephone, was taken by Hades. Besides that, she didn't have any bad points, which could be said to be a good goddess among the messy Greek Myth. However, Dionysus was brutal as a god of wine. His followers even tore the hands and feet of the musicians when they were drunk, and he was also the creator of the orgy. Everything related to madness related to him.

"Loki, it seems we need more information before we can make a conclusion."

Tsukasa moved to Loki's side and whispered.

Loki looked at Tsukasa and asked, "Do you think that Demeter isn't Enyo?"

"I am not sure."

Tsukasa shook his head since the bloody words in front of him made him hesitate with his judgment.

Everything has to wait until more investigation.

After Loki sent someone to inform the guild about what she found in the Demeter Familia.

The guild immediately sent people to search for Demeter's whereabouts.

---

Night.

The group returned to the Twilight Manor one after another.   

Tiona, Tione, and Haruhime had black circles in their eyes.

Bete and Gareth kept shaking their hands

"Did you find anything?"

Finn gave Tsukasa and Loki a hopeful expression. It seemed that Tiona and the others didn't have a decent gain.

"As you have probably guessed."

Loki spread her hands. "We got nothing."

No one knew about the evil dragon mural.

No, to be more exact, no one knew what kind of story was written on the mural.

Finn sighed.

"By the way, how is Lefiya?"

Tsukasa broke the silence that permeated everyone.
