Several dozens of nobles, including important figures from the Figrola family, died within a single day in the western territories, leading to the annihilation of a noble family with a long history.
Such a tragedy, even in these turbulent times, still shocked countless people, but what was even more bizarre came later—the mastermind behind all this also died shortly thereafter, only moments apart.
And with Hirodod's unexpected death, the Blood Moon Association, which was just about to come out of the shadows and was gearing up for a major expansion, collapsed instantly.
This terrifying cult, which had been a nightmare for all the western nobility, couldn't even maintain its basic organizational structure after losing its highest and sole leader.
Originally, to counter the lords' pursuit, Hirodod adopted a system of single-line contacts extensively, not only among the lower ranks but also quite common among the higher echelons of the sect.
