The two priests did not relax even though a Puki appeared in front of them; instead, they became even more vigilant.
The reason was that the Hand of Death realized the danger of Puki earlier than other forces did!
Initially, it was just that the cultists active near Mushroom City repeatedly failed or simply disappeared without a trace.
This was not too serious a problem for the Hand of Death.
They attributed it to the outstanding abilities of Lord Fa'er of Mushroom City, which reduced the activities nearby.
But soon, they found the situation deteriorating.
Starting from Mushroom City as the center, cultists active in more and more areas around it disappeared one by one, as if someone was hunting them down.
Strangely enough, the kingdom's officialdom made no comment on this, as if the matter was not related to them at all?!
