Listening to Ada's explanation the three devils frowned their brows as their gazes locked with each other realizing the predicament they were in. Then their gazes glanced over the Field Marshal who heroically stood tall in front of the dungeon gate and then the 10 bodies of Ada.
"I don't understand if we were to kill the scary human, how did you plan to destroy the dungeon?" the spiked humanoid frog devil asked Ada feeling her explanation was missing some details.
"I planned to enter the dungeon gate when she was distracted fighting you guys and destroying its core," Ada replied the devil without thinking.
Ada's answer caused the three devil's frowns to grow narrower as they realized that Ada summoned them knowing that the four of them might not be able to defeat the scary card apprentice.
"You planned to enter the dungeon gate as we distracted the human guarding it. To sum it up, you were planning to use us as disposable pawns in your plan to destroy the dungeon," the spiked humanoid frog devil uttered grudgingly in a low but deep voice.
The spiked humanoid frog devil's words revealed the true intention of Arnas who had Ada summon these four particular devils on their master's instructions. Being reduced as mere disposable pawns in someone else's plan did not sit well with the three devils.
The bug-eyed devil, the furry devil, and the spiked humanoid frog devil stared menacingly at Ada's ten identical bodies, realizing that she was playing them from the start.
After a long silence, the spiked humanoid frog devil's shriveled tongue suddenly extended and shot out, aiming at Ada's ten bodies yelling, "I had enough of this."
Before the other two devils could react, its tongue wrapped around all ten of Ada's bodies and pulled them all into its mouth, swallowing them in a single gulp it let out a burp.
"You bastard, have you gone crazy? Spite that human girl out this instant. She is our only ticket out of here alive," the bug-eyed devil yelled in distress as for the furry devil he just glared at the spiked humanoid frog devil waiting for its explanation.
"It is too late for that, they have been digested by my acidic poison. Besides, she wasn't our only way out of here. But now she is our only way out of here, " the frog devil said nonchalantly, pointing at the Field Marshal.
"Explain yourself," the Furry devil demanded the Frog devil to justify its answer.
"You guys might have already guessed that the unknown enemy guiding the girl from the dark had her summon us and planned to use our deaths as a distraction to achieve their goal. They never planned to let us leave here alive.
So it was of no use for us to continue negotiating with that girl. Now with the girl out of the way, we can focus energy solely on our only way out of here. My only advice to you guys is to go all out if you want to leave here alive," The spiked humanoid frog devil defended its action of devouring the girl that summoned them using their true name.
According to it, it was clear that the people guiding Ada did not want them to leave the place alive from the moment they summoned them using their true names. So instead of wasting their time negotiating with the girl, it would be best if they went all out against the scary card apprentice and just maybe they all can make it out of there alive.
"Fine, you have left us no choice," the furry devil accepted the reality that with the girl gone now their only option was to face the human head-on without any second thoughts.
They could deactivate the 'Blood Dome of Darkness' and make a run for it in the card world but considering that the scary human was this strong in the dark realm then in the card world they stood no chance. So, instead of having any more second thoughts they decided to have a decisive battle for their life.
Field Marshal Heatsend, who was witnessing the conversation between the devils and Ada knew there was no reason why Ada would let the devils free without achieving her mission. The death match between her and the devils was imminent and it was only a matter of time.
So the Field Marshal prepared herself for the decisive battle. She used her eyes to unveil all the space nodes in the vicinity and began to memorize them. This way she will not be cornered by the three devils and would always have a way out.
Apart from helping in escape, the space nodes would help her land critical sneak attacks on them and also help her get to the dungeon gate in case she was required to guard it during the battle. Considering the vast application of the space nodes, Field Marshal focused on understanding the surrounding space. Planning to kill the devils one by one and put an end to this.
Noticing the negotiations between the devils and Ada go south and the spiked humanoid frog devil devouring all ten of Ada's bodies, the Field Marshal watched the three devils cautiously and ready to launch an attack once at the sign of an opening.
"Be careful she can track out devil cores," the furry devil cautioned the other two devils to guard their devil cores.
"Yes," the other two devils affirmed in unison as the three of them slowly spread out and closed in on the Field Marshal.
When on the move the devils could not continue to hide their devil cores by continuously changing the location of their devil cores by moving it around in their body. As their devil cores needed to be stationary to supply them with the power and allow them to display their prowess.
