Vessel

A demon.

Demons ensnare and bewitch people with lies.

But that only applies to low-ranking demons capable of playing such cheap tricks.

The more powerful and influential demons of Hell become, the more impossible it is for them to lie.

That is because magic is imbued in their words, and that magic contains coercive power, giving them an effect similar to a contract.

That is why even mid-ranking demons usually ensnare or deceive their opponents by inserting subtle clauses into contracts rather than making verbal agreements.

If even mid-ranking demons use contracts, great demons are a different matter entirely.

In particular, Sitri verbally staking her name to Ferda was tantamount to saying she would fall to the very bottom of Hell.

‘There’s no way Sitri doesn’t know that.’

That meant the question she had asked Ferda was worth that much...
