In a small house on the outskirts of one of the many Devil cities, an old man was seated in front of a blazing flame, holding rare minerals and quietly bringing them close to the fire, melting them before using them as forging materials.
This old man was a blacksmith renowned throughout the city, known for his excellent craftsmanship and never making mistakes.
However, the blazing fire before him suddenly surged in temperature, destroying the minerals that the old man was trying to melt.
The old man didn't pay attention to this failure but instead raised his head and looked outside the window with an expression of shock, anger, and most importantly, doubt.
Just like Liora had theorized, the puppets of the elderly Devil indeed did not share their memories.
As such, the moment she eliminated his puppets in the ruined city, the remaining puppets immediately noticed it, but they didn't understand what had happened.
