“By the way, Mr. Shien.”
At this moment, Maeve seemed to suddenly remember something important, her expression turning serious as she spoke to Shien.
“Actually, there’s something we want to tell you.”
Maeve said.
“What is it?”
Seeing Maeve’s serious expression, Shien turned his gaze to her.
The next moment, Maeve revealed something that made Shien raise an eyebrow.
“These past few days, while cleaning the battlefield in Cosmos, the beastmen discovered some severed limbs.” Maeve said, “I smelled them, and if I’m not mistaken, they should belong to the leader of the Old Demon Faction’s [Mirage], that demon named Danas, whom you defeated.”
These words silenced everyone, and they all turned their gaze to Maeve.
Elise and Oz didn’t do so, as if they knew what Maeve was going to say, their expressions somewhat grim.
“Danas?” Shien narrowed his eyes, looking at Maeve. “What about him?”
Shien didn’t think that this strategist among the beastmen priests would bring up an irrelevant topic for no reason.
Since Maeve brought it up, it meant that something must have happened.
As expected…
“We collected those severed limbs and discovered that they didn’t belong to a demon, but had the life signs of a magical lifeform.”
Maeve’s words made everyone’s eyes narrow.
Especially Shien’s.
“Magical lifeform…”
Shien murmured.
So, Danas wasn’t a demon, but a magical lifeform?
Wouldn’t that mean…
“The mastermind behind this incident is someone else?”
Leisha was surprised.
If Danas was a magical lifeform, it meant he had a master.
And since he had a master, it was highly likely that this master ordered Danas to lead [Mirage] to Cosmos and cause trouble.
Could it be the mastermind who had been hiding in the shadows?
Everyone pondered.
However, at this moment, Lasha also spoke.
“I don’t think so.”
Lasha’s sudden words stunned everyone.
“Why do you say that?”
Shien also looked at Lasha, asking curiously.
“It’s simple.” Lasha said calmly. “If Danas was truly a magical lifeform, he couldn’t have established an Old Demon Faction branch as a demon.”
Everyone didn’t quite understand Lasha’s words.
Only Airi, frowning, agreed with Lasha.
“There are many factions within the Old Demon Faction. Although they can’t be called comrades, and mostly don’t interfere with each other, they look down on both humans and the Divine Race, considering the current Demon Race traitors, arrogantly believing that the Demon Race should return to how it was a thousand years ago, following the Demon King’s will and not colluding with other races. Such a group wouldn’t allow a magical lifeform to establish an Old Demon Faction branch and let humans use the name of the Old Demon Faction as they please.” raNȪbЁⱾ
Elise had said before that the mastermind wasn’t a demon, but a human.
If he was Danas’s master, then the Old Demon Faction branch [Mirage] couldn’t have been established.
Even if it were established, within a few days, this branch would be torn to shreds by the other enraged branches of the Old Demon Faction.
Therefore, Danas’s master couldn’t be the human mastermind, but a true member of the Old Demon Faction.
Of course…
“What if Danas hid his identity and didn’t let anyone discover that he was a magical lifeform?”
Leisha offered a different perspective.
But it was Lasha who refuted her, not anyone else.
“He might be able to hide it temporarily, but a magical lifeform is still a magical lifeform. Perhaps others wouldn’t be able to detect its presence, but there’s a subtle connection between magical lifeforms.”
Lasha said indifferently.
“This connection is based on the nature of magic power, similar to resonance, because we are all created by the same type of magic.”
Even if their types and categories were different, some used to create monsters, some to create demons, some to create specific beings, and some randomly generated, the magic used to create magical lifeforms all belonged to the same system – Bio-Creation.
Therefore, there was a subtle resonance and connection between magical lifeforms that others might not notice, but fellow magical lifeforms would.
This was also why Lasha could recognize that the people who committed suicide were all magical lifeforms.
