Clint nodded and said, "Maybe we underestimated the problem from the very beginning. Perhaps the undercover agents didn't just come from one force alone. That would be the worst possible reason." "What do you mean?" Stellar got worked up and asked, "You mean to say that this is a joint effort of multiple forces?"

"That's right. Maybe there were more forces than just the Church of the Netherworld and the Illuminion involved. Although I don't know what their methods are, I have a hunch that the Doom Spawns aren't capable of kidnapping the General of the Northern Territory. It should be the other bigger forces instead.

"Due to everything that has happened before, we naturally connect the Illuminion and the Church of the Netherworld as one. But as we look back now, they are two separate forces. In other words, the General of the Northern Territory is currently in the hands of the

Illuminion."

"The Illuminion? Haven't they been defeated?" Stellar wondered.

Clint made a speculation and said, "No, they were definitely not defeated. But they've divided into many groups and organizations as they continue to be active. Now, I have a suspect in mind... "Although I don't want to admit it...

After listening to Clint's request, Stellar was so frightened that he backed away.

"Are you serious? Me? I'm going?"

"That's right! I beg you! We'll go in three days! Let's meet here, and I'll tell you everything I've discovered in my investigation. You can also ask me as many questions as you want.' Clint patted Stellar's shoulder to encourage him. "All the best, but don't force yourself. You must stay alive..."

Clint followed the General of the Northern Territory's traces before he disappeared. Then, he walked to the mountain where Nash had gone for his seclusion. Suddenly, he noticed a hint of weak energy.

"That's right. This is it."

A scream interrupted Clint's thoughts. He looked in the direction where the scream came from.

A woman wrapped in a bath towel ran toward him. There was a terrifying, black, gas-like monster chasing after her from behind. The woman fell, and the monster was coming close to her!

Clint made a prompt decision and fired a set of arrays. A gust of wind tore the monster into pieces. He stepped forward to check on the woman. "Thank you, thank you. You're my great savior," the woman said in her sweet voice.

Clint looked up to find that this woman...
