But such a person was actually involved with the Devil. Bologue was not qualified to say anything.

"At that time, my friends kept dying one after another, no one could stay calm in such a situation," Lebius took a deep breath, "I know very well what kind of things the Devil is, I had no choice."

"You didn’t offer your soul, but made a bet with Belphegor, gaining the ability to retain memories in the cycle and trying to break the cycle, to stop the King’s Secret Sword plan." Bologue imagined the scene at that time.

"That’s about right, you’ve also seen Belphegor, you know what that Devil was thinking, he granted me the ability to retain memories and bestowed me with protection against the power of Red Dog, and the bet was that he would witness with his own eyes as I killed Red Dog... for this, he took away my sight."

Lebius imitated Belphegor’s words at the time, "A revenge drama, how exciting."

Upon hearing this, Bologue suddenly felt a chilling sensation, he stared into Lebius’s eyes and asked, "He’s watching me, isn’t he?"

"It’s not clear, he’s not there all the time... Want to greet him?" Lebius said expressionlessly.

Bologue shook his head, he started to dislike Lebius’s sense of humor, he didn’t understand what humor was.

"He will know you and I talked."

"It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t affect anything, at least that’s what the Decision Room thinks."

Lebius once thought that his dealing with the Devil would get him expelled by the Order Bureau or even imprisoned, he didn’t regret it, only hated that he didn’t manage to kill Red Dog.

When Lebius was ready to face judgment, he was summoned by the Decision Room and became one of the few people who could reach the Decision Room. The Decision Room tacitly approved his actions.

"Belphegor likes to watch others’ lives, if that person’s life is exciting enough, he will pay a price for it," Lebius said, "like moviegoers who pay for their tickets."

"But what if it’s not exciting enough?"

"Then I lose," Lebius said, "I’ve lost once before, even with Belphegor’s help, I still couldn’t kill Red Dog."

"But he wasn’t disappointed, instead he gave me another chance, I thought it was the Devil’s mercy at the time, but now it seems he knows destiny’s prophecy, he knew I would meet Red Dog again, Belphegor is looking forward to my future actions."

Speaking of these, Lebius deeply realized the Devil’s sinister and terrifying nature, as if everything was under their scrutiny.

"What did Red Dog do?" Bologue realized the deep hatred between Red Dog and Lebius.

Giving up all cover, Lebius laid everything out before Bologue.

"Based on current information, those who attacked us were just the main force of the second faction, but as the war escalated, the first faction realized it was a good opportunity to eliminate both the second faction and us."

Lebius recounted the situation and the reason behind it.

"During our fight with the second faction, the second group I worked in had a slight advantage in the battle, as long as we held it, with the advantage of fighting at home, we could defeat the opponent, but at that time, Red Dog led a team to attack us, they teamed up with the second faction to encircle us, the second group suffered heavy casualties, but it wasn’t enough to destroy us completely.

The real collapse of the second group came from the subsequent melee in the Great Rift, our team was scattered, there were enemies everywhere, and Red Dog was a cunning, treacherous creature, he chose to hide in the dark, precisely assassinating team members."

Lebius added, "At that time he was already a Defender, ordinary team members couldn’t resist his assassinations, our leader was also a Defender, and apart from her, there were several Defenders in the team, they tried to intercept Red Dog, but Red Dog used the advantage of Secret Energy to engage them, and continued the slaughter along the way."

"Red Dog is a born warrior, he has no honor, no dignity, he loyally carried out the soldier’s duties, killing the enemy in the most efficient way, by any means.

He killed a team member in front of the leader, successfully inflaming her anger, luring her into the trap set by the King’s Secret Sword, and then it was a full-blown deadly fight between the Defenders."

Lebius narrated those past events as briefly as possible, seemingly it would pierce his heart.

"In the end, Red Dog returned alone, as for the leader, we couldn’t find her body, she might have fallen into the Abandoned Land, or been devoured as nourishment by that creature... We couldn’t recover many team members’ bodies, their endings were about the same as the leader’s."

"A large number of team members died, and the leader died in battle too, after we retreated to the Order Bureau, the Decision Room was contemplating how to handle us while responding to the battle, whether to urgently replenish staff or to disband us."

Lebius paused, "It was at this time, that the time axis disorder began."

Bologue fell silent, based on the records at the time, the main forces led by the second faction headed by the Second Seat suffered multiple death-defying assaults on the Cultivation Room after Xilin’s death, losing their ability to lead the war altogether after severe reduction. At this time, the forces of the First Seat faction entered the battlefield, led by Red Dog and Secret Swords, replacing the second faction’s strength, continuing the war.
