The clothes they wore were light red. They covered the body with a red long cloth which is from head to toe leaving their face and chest open. Their bare chests have marks of horns on both chests pointing upward from their nipples.

All the thirteen members sat in a circle. Their hands joined with one another and formed a chain.

The man in black clothes jumped into the middle and sat down.

The thirteen members started praying.

Oh, Great God of Witches. Bless us. We are going to wake you up soon. We are going to gift you the Sheryl Verghese this time. Vincent has done all the arrangements. The group started swinging their heads while Uncle Vincent poured the blood on the man in black clothes. 

The group shouted devil. Call him devil from now on wards. 

After completing the Sabbath the witch cult group left to their places.

Uncle Vincent and the devil's disciple returned to India from Egypt.

Uncle Vincent returns from Egypt along with that disciple of the devil(horned God).

Charu goes missing at the end of January and her father gives a complaint in Police Station. Police unable to know the details of her.

Ruth is also upset about Charu. He didn't understand why his mother calls Charu Sheryl.

He does not want to ask his mother as She lost control by the name Sheryl.

On February 1st Ruth visited the museum and while reading a secret book written by Margaret Murray's admirer (on Witch Cult) he fell unconscious. As the sun sets, people leave, and the museum gets locked.

Ruth woke up and tries to read the book without noticing the time.

In a chapter, Ruth sees the image of a horned god who is worshipped by witches. He sleeps for 150 years. To wake him up in between his followers (witches) do give the sacrifice of a Girl. A Girl who willingly accepts herself as a gift to the God of Witches. His followers fondly call him the devil.

In the basement of the Museum...

He ran towards the art section and finds the sword in the hands of a Cat faced statue. It was the same sword given in the book.
