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!
