Chapter 1076: Section 1077: The Death of Morheim

When Aoluxiya left the Misty Cabin, she was still contemplating what she had gained from this brief journey.

Fafnir had always been vigilant and faintly repelled by her, which Aoluxiya understood. After all, the one who had forced Fafnir to flee defeated from the inner layers of the Abyss to the surface was intricately linked with the Lord of the Flameless, so Fafnir’s aversion to her was normal.

However, she also received some disconcerting news from Fafnir.

Binaqionse, who had once shown her kindness, had fallen into silence and had not yet awakened.

This piece of news left her quite emotional. Her fondness for the Abyssal Dragon race had always stemmed from Binaqionse’s influence, but the current situation of Binaqionse was deeply lamentable.

Besides, Aoluxiya was satisfied with the experiential journey, the only regret being that she was unable to obtain the Ocean Rhythm from Angel.

As she arrived in the forest, Aoluxiya thought that given Greerwu’s character, he would have rushed up to ask about the experiential journey right away. However, that didn’t happen.

Greerwu was incessantly babbling next to an unconscious pig Demon Person.

Tandin the Butler, on the other hand, was looking at the pig Demon Person with a skeptical eye.

When Aoluxiya came to the Misty Cabin, she had noticed the pig Demon Person leaning against a tree but had ignored it since it was unconscious. Now, that Greerwu and an unconscious pig Demon Person could strike up a conversation was quite curious indeed?

With curiosity, Aoluxiya walked over.

“You change patterns so slowly… You ask who I am? I am the great Fire Pattern Demon, well, currently still a Young Fire Demon, but my future is promising! You may call me Young Master Greerwu!”

“What’s sold in the Misty Cabin? This, this I’m not quite sure about, but I will be able to tell you soon, once the adult emerges, I’ll immediately get to participate in the experiential journey! I’ve heard from other Demons that it is a very marvelous experience, akin to the Illusionary Realm, it will awaken you before you know it!”

It was then that Tandin the Butler couldn’t help but interject, “Young Master, the chances of awakening are not one hundred percent.”

“Didn’t that Pannas Charm Demon awaken? The other Demons haven’t awakened because… because the time has not yet come,” Greerwu asserted.

Tandin rubbed his temples, clearly weary of Greerwu’s unwavering belief in the Misty Cabin’s capabilities as his panacea; he no longer wanted to argue, “Sigh, let’s hope the adult brings back some good news.”

Greerwu looked back at the pig Demon Person and noticed that the pattern in its left eye was changing again.

“The adult I’m speaking of? Of course it is Lord Aoluxiya…” Greerwu had only gotten halfway through his sentence when the pig Demon Person’s head exploded suddenly.

Thick brain matter spattered everywhere, body fluids mixed with organs, radiating outward from the center of the pig Demon Person.

The ground was covered in white, red, yellow… and skin torn into shreds.

Greerwu was splashed with the filth, but all of it was incinerated into nothingness upon touching the flames that enveloped him.

Greerwu was stunned. He had just been chatting spiritedly with the pig Demon Person; why had it suddenly died?

“Lord Aoluxiya,” came Tandin the Butler’s respectful voice from beside him.

Greerwu turned his head sharply, only to see Aoluxiya clad in Inscription armor standing behind him.

“Oh, Lord Aoluxiya! You’ve come out!” Greerwu’s eyes lit up, immediately forgetting the previous bloody scene; the death of a pig Demon Person was no big deal to him, and he was now more eager to learn about the experiential journey!

“My lord, the experiential…” Greerwu started to ask excitedly, but he stopped midway when he saw Aoluxiya gesture for silence with a “shush.”

At that moment, a dark shadow dropped from the sky, which Aoluxiya caught in her open hand.

After a few bounces, Greerwu could see the true identity of the dark shadow.

It was an eyeball shrouded in black mist.

“This eyeball?” Greerwu looked at it, puzzled; the black mist within the eyeball kept changing, clearly the left eye of the pig Demon Person he had been communicating with.

“Speak, who are you?” Aoluxiya’s voice emanated from beneath her mask.

Greerwu looked on in amazement; Aoluxiya was speaking a language he had never encountered.

“It’s the common language of humans,” Tandin the Butler whispered to Greerwu, but as he explained, he too couldn’t hide his surprise. Why would Lord Aoluxiya speak the humans’ language to the eyeball of a pig Demon Person?

Soon, Tandin understood why.

The black mist in the eyeball continued to transform, eventually forming characters of the human common language: “Finally found you.”

Aoluxiya sneered, “It is indeed you. Like parasites, you’re impossible to shake off.”

With that, Aoluxiya casually crushed the eyeball into liquid. As the eyeball burst, a black fog spread out, twisting and turning in the air, finally forming a row of words.

——”You will ultimately be mine; just wait, I will come for you soon.”

The smoke slowly dissipated, but Aoluxiya’s expression grew increasingly grim.

Having witnessed this, Tandin immediately understood what had just occurred and knelt decisively, “Lord Aoluxiya, this is my oversight. I did not expect it to be a human spy. Please, punish me.”

But Aoluxiya shook her head, “This has nothing to do with you. I couldn’t be certain of its identity until it asked me for information.”

The words she spoke in the humans’ common language later were also just a ruse to bait its identity.

“Rise, and tell me, what questions did it ask?”

Tandin honestly said, “Apart from the previous questions, there were also inquiries about the day-night cycle, the appearance of red patterns in the sky, and information about the demons of the Void Tower…”

Aoluxiya looked at Greerwu, frowning as he asked, “Did you answer all these questions?”

Greerwu lowered his head, feeling somewhat anxious and guilty, “I disclosed everything except matters related to the Primeval Flame… I just thought, none of these are secrets, everyone knows them, so I, I just told them.”

Even though Aoluxiya’s face was covered by a porcelain-white mask, and his expression was not visible, Greerwu still sensed a subtly foreboding aura emanating from him.

It was quite some time before Aoluxiya spoke again, “That group of humans will probably be knocking on our door soon, regardless of whether they can reach Lassudral quickly or not, we must be ready to face them.”

In normal times, Aoluxiya would not bother with these lowly humans, but these pests had chosen to show up at this particular moment!

Once it was ignited by the Primeval Flame, it would have no spare attention to give.

“What do you mean, my lord?”

“While the Primeval Flame has yet to appear, go and make contact with the great demons of the Void Tower,” said Aoluxiya, his face somewhat grim. It had originally planned to handle this alone, but now, even though the chances of those humans barging in at the right time were slim, it still had to consider the possibility.

If those humans really showed up while it was being ignited by the Primeval Flame, its safety would become the greatest concern. And in Lassudral, the obvious choice to organize a defense against outsider human wizards was the great demons of the Void Tower.

“Let’s go to the Void Tower,” Aoluxiya said, and Tandin immediately responded, while Greerwu only gazed at Aoluxiya with a pitiful and pleading expression in his eyes.

“That, that, my, my journey of experience… My awakening, my coming-of-age…” Greerwu stuttered his way through a disconnected ramble.

“I have had my experience, and indeed, the journey was quite interesting, but just as the shop owner said, it is not suitable for you and may even harm you, impeding your maturation,” Aoluxiya’s words immediately cast a shadow over Greerwu’s expression.

Aoluxiya shook his head, ready to leave.

Before leaving, he turned to look back at the small cabin standing in the depths of the darkness. The shimmering blue light of the Water Light Gem made the whole cabin seem incredibly dreamlike amidst the darkness.

Aoluxiya’s mind flashed with the figure of Angel.

It believed Fafnir’s words; Angel had not come here for it.

Before, it had also witnessed the inquiry by the Demon People’s left eye. It was asking about the Misty Cabin; clearly, the Demon People and the human inside did not seem to belong to the same faction.

From the current information, it appeared that Angel truly had come unintentionally.

Under Aoluxiya’s mask, the corners of his lips curled slightly, “However, I never believe in coincidences. What role exactly will your arrival play?”

…

In the darkness of the Void, Monty’s figure suddenly wavered.

The next second, a red sash emblazoned with silver inscriptions that adorned his body unexpectedly burst into flames without any warning.

The fire slowly rose, sparks scattering all around.

Eventually, the burning red sash fell into the Void and completely vanished from sight.

Due to the peculiar nature of this hunting plan, every move of Monty was under the watchful eyes of all wizards. When the sash caught fire, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Lord Monty, what has happened?” a wizard inquired.

“My eye left in Lassudral has shattered.” The red sash was tied to the sealing spell on Morheim’s body; its burning also signified the shattering of Morheim’s left eye.

Monty’s first comment petrified everyone’s expression; without the spy, the lack of information could easily lead to faulty judgments.

“But, this will be enough.” Monty seldom laughed, “I have learned much from the confidant of the Demon God’s descendant.”

The people’s eyes immediately brightened upon hearing this.

“Lord Monty, what is the current situation in Lassudral?” Sinafa asked at this moment.

Monty recounted everything he had learned from the young demon during their exchange through the left eye.

After listening, someone immediately said, “Aoluxiya… Which Demon God’s descendant is it?”

“I once infiltrated Demon City and checked some records; Aoluxiya should be a descendant of the Lord of the Flameless,” Samantha spoke.

With the revelation of Aoluxiya’s identity, everyone’s attention focused solely on him. After all, Aoluxiya was the ultimate target of their hunting plan.

Only Sanders furrowed his brows deeply.

Lord Monty had not only mentioned Aoluxiya previously but also referred to a shop named “Misty,” which offered something called Ocean Rhythm—an existence akin to an Illusionary Realm.

Illusion…

Illusionary Realm…

A dire premonition suddenly emerged in Sanders’s heart.
