Elric was approached by the imperial family’s inspection bureau in the previous chapter. Readers are curious to find out how Elric would deal with them in Talent-Swallowing Magician Chapter 53.
Elric found an emblem created by Azazel’s followers, and Mephistopheles informed him it was made specifically for human sacrifice.
Mephistopheles was surprised that Elric knew about it. Elric told him he had read about Azazel in a book that he found in Otto’s storage room.
Elric heard from Mephistopheles that it was a human sacrifice, so he was wondering if everyone in the village was going to get sacrificed to summon Azazel.
Mephistopheles told him, considering the condition of the village. It was the most logical thing for them to assume that the sacrifice was going to take place sooner rather than later.
Elric was not sure if demons were hiding in the human world and making some plan. Mephistopheles reminded Elric to absorb the magical energy and hand it over to the kind, just as he promised.
The teacher advised Elric that it was extremely dangerous for him to discover the traces of demons that were exterminated three years ago. He believed that they should send it over to the government authorities.
Mephistopheles did not like the plan, but Elric thought it was a great idea. Mephistopheles reminded Elric that he had promised to give it to him.
Elric told him Mephistopheles’s Teacher was planning to send it to the government if he absorbed the demonic energy, but he was not sure how he would explain it to everyone else.
Elric mentioned to Mephistopheles that if he told him a way to use the miffy seal, he might give it a try. Seon was taking the emblem to the government authorities.
Recap
Mephistopheles was in a panic because he did not want that to happen. Mephistopheles told Elric he was ready to fulfill any other request except for the seal.
But suddenly, some other energy stole the emblem from Seon. Seon and the teacher were confused about the situation. Elric told them the thing tricked him and mentioned that the evidence he had worked so hard to find had disappeared.
Mephistopheles went into a maniac phase because some other energy had stolen the thing that belonged to him. Elric informed Seon and the teacher that it was unlikely that the entire village would become deserted because of one totem.
They decided to look for something else, just in case. Meanwhile, the cult members were holding a ritual inside a cave for the great priest, but some heretics disturbed the revival.
The cult member asked someone to pass on his words to Joda so that before they reached the north, he could meet with Kaya and proceed with the revival ceremony.
Back in the village, Elric was wondering how no one noticed what the demons were doing all the time. The teacher assured Elric that they had already handed over the evidence to the authorities.
He was sure that they would conduct a comprehensive investigation very soon. They were holding the leaders of the province fully responsible for what had happened.
The drought was finally over, so Elric and everyone else went to meet the villagers to say goodbye. Elric and his team were on the move when Karl had to stop the carriage because the imperial family’s inspection bureau guys were waiting for him.
