บท 696: Journey to the Village  

All eyes turned towards Azazel, who was now sitting cross-legged, arms folded, and head lowered.

"Did he finally die?" Princess Lorelai sighed in relief. "Thank the gods."

"Are you really saying that?" Ren deadpanned.

"The gods would probably rejoice if another demon or devil met his end," the princess replied with a laugh.

Ren could only shake his head. 

Nori looked saddened, but she kept her lips sealed, not wanting to voice her thoughts.

"Anyway, I'll go check on him," Elena said, cautiously approaching Azazel. She sensed something was amiss. 

As Elena cautiously approached the slumbering Azazel, an eerie sensation settled over the group. They couldn't shake off the feeling that an oppressive aura was enveloping them, as though unseen eyes were watching their every move. 

The air grew thick with tension, and a shiver crawled down their spines, making them uneasy.
