Chapter 869: The Last Demon Saint
Through meticulous research and careful observation of the members of the Arcane Bureau, they had finally uncovered Entei’s disguise: he was posing as a Grand Knight within one of the Empire’s prestigious Knight Orders.
Even Vale had no idea why the Demon Saint decided to live in silence here. The only reason they could think of was for the sake of creating his own force. Of course, the members of the Bureau, under Captain Ashley’s command, tried to find out more about the Grand Knight’s activity, but they found nothing suspicious.
“Mhmm… I’m not confident that I can use my mind spells effectively against this creature…” Vale’s Avatar muttered.
After all, he had a very limited Divinity, and his consciousness and soul weren’t as strong as the original body.
In terms of Spells, he certainly had an advantage with his wide range of selection. However, in terms of Divinity, Mind Energy, and Soul strength, Vale wasn’t too confident.
In short, he had to find a way to surprise the disguised Demon Saint, or it might escape, and he knew that it would be incredibly difficult to find him once again.
After all, the Divine Sense mark doesn’t work well with these creatures, unlike the Time Manipulators.
For now, they decided to ask for Lisa’s help in this matter to increase their chance of success.

Entei, unaware that his true identity had been discovered, continued to play his role as a loyal and honorable grand knight of the Empire.
His position granted him access to sensitive information and allowed him to influence key decisions within the Empire. However, his facade was about to be shattered.
Vale used his powers as a Shadow Immortal and watched Entei secretly.
He had no intention of rushing the capture. Instead, he meticulously planned every step to ensure that Entei would have no chance of escape.
As an Avatar, he knew that he needed to have patience and a strategic mind to maximize his full potential. He intended to use them to their fullest.
Captain Ashley, a seasoned investigator with a keen eye for detail, stood beside Vale as they looked at the King’s castle.
“He’s been meeting with high-ranking officials,” Ashley whispered.
Vale nodded as he felt that it was almost time to make their move. “You mentioned that we need to gather more evidence. If we can prove his true identity to the Empire’s authorities, we can use them to bring Homer to a trap and ensure he has nowhere to run.”
Homer was the name of the Grand Knight that Entei was currently disguised into.
“Yes… I think that all the evidence we need will be completed in the next two days.” Ashley said. Apparently, she had her subordinates gather information about the real Homer’s family since they knew that the real one had already died from the Demon Saint.
Over the next few days, Vale and Ashley continued their surveillance, documenting Entei’s interactions and movements.
They discovered that Entei was planning to do something. He was waiting for a grand ceremony, or perhaps the birthday of the Emperor, where he intended to solidify his influence within the Empire.
“He’s planning to do mass corruption in order to make all of these high-ranking officials of the Empire be under his command.” Ashley muttered as she confirmed this because of the materials that the Grand Knight gathered. The materials that the Grand Knight needed weren’t easy to gather, so it took him a lot of time.
After all, Entei doesn’t want to make these people mindless demonic creatures who only act on instincts. If he wanted that, he could simply use his own Corrupted Divinity.
However, what he wanted instead was to make these people capable of practicing evil arts while maintaining their intelligence.
From their previous attempt to conquer this world or the one people called Abyss Invasion, he realized that just the higher number of Demonic Creatures on their side wasn’t enough. What they needed was a huge number of elites capable of eliminating hundreds or thousands of mobs alone.
He was able to experiment with a group of 3 or 5 people, but the process was too slow and time-consuming.
Because of this, he decided to do the conversion on a massive scale.
Soon, Ashley returned with Lisa after meeting the Emperor…
With the Arcane Bureau’s prestige and Shadow Immortal’s messenger in Lisa’s form, they received permission to act.
On the day of the ceremony, Vale, Ashley, Lisa, and other members of the Bureau, positioned themselves strategically around the venue.
On the other hand, the Emperor sent a double instead in his party to ensure his safety.
At this time, the grand hall was filled with knights, nobles, and dignitaries, all unaware of the danger lurking among them.
Entei, dressed in his Grand Knight’s armor, stood at the side, exuding an air of absolute confidence.
He was excited…
“Today… I’ll be controlling this whole Empire…” Entei smiled as he couldn’t help but smile at this grand plan. After controlling this place, he planned to increase the power of this Empire with Evil Arts and wage war on neighboring nations.
Thankfully, he knew that as long as there weren’t any Demonic Creatures, Demon Saints, or anyone at the same level involved, the war wouldn’t involve Half-Immortals or Immortals of
the nations.
Because of that, he had confidence that once his people learned Evil Arts and hid it properly as Dark Arts, they would easily succeed!
As soon as the Emperor appeared in the ceremony hall, he knew that it was time to start his
ritual!
“Gahahaha!” Homer, the Grand Knight, laughed loudly in the Grand Hall as the Emperor was about to speak.
Everyone looked at him as they thought that he had gone insane! Although he was Grand Knight, he shouldn’t disrespect the Emperor!
Soon, everyone felt something of as suffocating Evil Energy gathered within the castle!
“You! What are you doing, Homer?!”
“Have you become insane?”
“You’re a Dark Magician?! What are you planning to do?!”
“No, he’s Demon!”

The other Grand Knights were shocked as they felt the malevolent energy gathering around
Homer!
He didn’t bother to answer them, but he smiled at the Emperor.
“This Empire is mine!” As he said this, the ritual to corrupt their minds should take effect, but
even after a while, nothing happened!
