“Hang on,”I told Sylphiel, then walked through the door again.

And came back out, facing her once more.

“Um…” Sylphiel frowned. “What are you doing, exactly?”

I grumbled and scratched my face, turning back to the wide building. “I guess Hellmaster doesn’t want me in. I wish that ass would make up his mind.

“And it’s not like I was circling around in there,”

I clarified. “I just walked straight in, then ended up back out. I guess space is twisted inside it or something.”

“Twisted space?” Sylphiel repeated. “Can he do such a thing?”

“It’s all the rage with high-rank demons.”

I thought back for a second. A nasty demon had shut me in an infinite warped space in Saillune City once upon a time, and I’d escaped easily enough. But getting out from the inside and getting in from the

outside were two very different things. I couldn’t use the same trick.

“But why’s he shutting me out?” I brought up again.

“Hellmaster’s the one who called me here.”

“Maybe he’s not actually inside.”

Oh, no. I needed a lead—she wasn’t taking my lead away from me!

“I’m sure he’s inside,” I said quickly “Mostly sure. Anyway, he said he’d be waiting in Sairaag, and what else could he be waiting for?”

Sylphiel let out a breath. “I suppose,” she said quietly. “And Hellmaster Phibrizzo’s aim is to use Mister Gourry so you’ll use that spell, right? And then he’ll make it run amok so it can consume the world in darkness.”

“Um … yeah,” I mumbled back. I looked away and furrowed my eyebrows.

Everything pointed to the Giga Slave. It was the spell I’d used to destroy one of the seven pieces of Ruby Eye Shabranigdu. Another piece of Ruby Eye, said to be sealed in the Kataart Mountains, known as the Demon King of the North … he knew, didn’t he? That I, a human girl, could control the spell that drew power from the Lord of Nightmares.

According to legend, Ruby Eye’s body was split into seven pieces and sealed in the fight with Ceipheed the Red Dragon God. If that was true, since they were from a single existence, it made sense for them to share memories and a consciousness. The Demon King of the North had probably figured out that my Giga Slave could run wild and return the world to nothingness— and then had set up the whole plot that I’d been dragged through for so long.

Still, there were a few snags in it for him. One was Chaos Dragon’s estrangement. Another was my not possessing exact knowledge of the Lord of Nightmares. Let me make an analogy: a while back, a particular foe miscast a spell and made a Flare Arrow that looked like a really thin carrot. The Giga Slave I’d used earlier had apparently been as close to the completed version as the Carrot Flare Arrow.

So Phibrizzo had taken control of the project, used me as bait to draw out Gaav, and had Xelloss lead me as far as the Claire Bible. He’d known I would
