Chapter 86: Morning In Uteska

Morning had arrived, and we were all preparing to leave Uteska. The village, once teeming with Demons, was now eerily empty.

Radakel's knights had discovered the burial site where the Demons had interred the bodies of already dead Humans. They used this grim revelation to further instill fear and hatred in my classmates against the Heroes. Radakel had trained his followers well, and these particular knights were even more enraged by the fact that a Demon had defeated and 'killed' Radakel, though it had actually been me in disguise.

I hadn't planned any of this. My only intention had been to disrupt whatever schemes Radakel had in place, and while I succeeded, it had the unintended consequence of significantly heightening animosity and suspicion towards the Demons. Worse still, Radakel was alive and would likely exploit this failure to further manipulate Amelia and the others.
