Maybe it was just a short while, or maybe it was a long time.
Maybe it was a serious injury, or maybe it was some other problem... The Punishment Demon felt as if its sense of time had been deprived of itself. It was completely unable to distinguish the passage of time - even though it was just lying on the ground, it felt as if it was a dream.
.
——I will probably die here.
This thought roughly appeared in the Punishment Demon's mind.
And in addition, I might become a ritual material used by that guy or Aleister. Just like I used to make other humans into materials...
This is also a cycle. The cycle is an act of transcendence, like an ouroboros devouring itself.
But even so, it doesn't want to commit suicide.
If he kills himself, it means self-denial - a demon cannot do such a thing. This is a kind of denial of the Fallen God, and it is also a kind of cowardice.
——What's more, after "Cassim" completely transforms into a punishment demon, he will no longer be affected by death in the material world.
Even if he dies, he will just lose his power and return to the dream world to sleep. At most, he will turn into a demon egg and parasitize in a child again. When he grows up, he will be gradually assimilated into a demon by the mark of his own sin.
He can eventually hatch again.
Even if it doesn't work once, just do it twice, and if it doesn't work twice, do it three times. All mortals will die, but the phantom demon can live forever...
The Punishment Demon comforted himself in his heart.
at this time.
In the night sky, a group of bats flew over.
They gathered in front of the Punishment Demon again and transformed into the appearance of Aiwass.
His slightly narrowed pupils were crimson, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. There was unabashed contempt and sarcasm on his face, which was completely different from the gentle and firm look he had seen when they met before.
Seeing this scene, the Punishment Demon suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Child of the Moon?"
At that moment, his mind suddenly buzzed.
It instantly understood why His Highness the Prince's curse just now was ineffective on Aiwass...
Because I don’t know when, Aiwass has become a pure child of the moon!
——Since Aiwass is not human at all, then the previous positioning is naturally invalid!
"Good evening, Mr. Qasim."
Aiwass said leisurely.
He looked around, and then focused on the werewolf.
Seeing this, the gray wolf shrank back two steps, its front legs trembling uncontrollably.
But Aiwass just smiled, squatted down and hooked his hand at her.
With just one glance, he recognized the other person's identity.
Although I don't know how she did it...but there is no doubt that it is Lily.
Although Lily did not mention this matter to Aiwass at first, but now that Lily is willing to reveal her identity to him... then Aiwass will naturally not ask any more questions.
The gray wolf was stunned for a moment, then wagging its tail and pounced over. She rubbed Aiwass' hand affectionately, kept pushing her head under Aiwass' palm, and greedily sniffed his scent.
...so fragrant and sweet.
It was easy to tell from a long distance at first, but once she got close enough, Lily's mind was immediately overwhelmed by the aroma of Aiwass's flesh and blood. It was like a hungry person entering a steaming bakery.
, her eyes became a little straight.
I really want to take a bite...
But, no. Absolutely not.
If she reveals her wildness, her aggression and her dangerousness...she will no longer be able to stay with Aiwass. She will not be the person Aiwass can always trust.
When she turned into a werewolf, Lily subconsciously chose to hide it. But she soon regretted it.
When Lily was very young, she lied to her mother because she was particularly envious of a classmate's hair band set with rubble. She said that the school wanted money and she wanted to buy that hair band herself.
She may be a genius at lying. Even though she lied for the first time in her life, and even though no one had ever taught her how to act, she defrauded the money very naturally and smoothly. Her mother did not have the slightest doubt.
That was not a small sum of money - Lily only realized it when she wanted to buy a piece of bread after getting the money. She realized how much bread the money could buy, and then realized how many days of survival it was.
At that time, Lily suddenly felt fear.
This money must never really be spent, she thought.
But hiding it was equally painful. She was worried about losing the money, worried about it being discovered by her mother, and worried about being seen by her classmates. At the same time, she had to maintain calm. It was as if nothing had happened.
It wasn't until half a year like this that the school really started asking for money. So Lily breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to use the money to fill the hole and settle the debt. This matter was finally over.
And when she turned into a werewolf but didn't tell Aiwass immediately, she felt a similar fear.
She had been looking for a suitable excuse and a suitable occasion to mention this matter. But Aiwass was always too busy after that, and she never found such an opportunity.
——Strictly speaking, the current opportunities are not the best.
But maybe it was because of what Shadow Demon did before Aiwass set off... that suddenly gave her a sense of crisis.
It was some kind of fear of "being abandoned again."
So Lily finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to expose everything at this not the best time. What made her happy was that Aiwass recognized her at a glance, but at the same time he was not afraid of her and did not ask her anything.
Hiding the truth. But even so, she still feels uneasy.
This strong uneasiness has been shaped into a cage that restrains instinct.
——That is "adaptation".
People always have the instinct of laziness, just like beasts also have the instinct of gluttony. But the power of adaptation can reverse this instinct... and that is all for better survival, better "adaptation". That does not come from hope,
But it comes from fear.
Seeing the scarlet color in the werewolf's pupils gradually fade away, the corners of Aiwass's mouth raised slightly.
"Good boy."
Aiwass patted the gray wolf's head gently and spoke gently.
At that moment, Lily finally realized with incomparable certainty that Aiwass in the form of Moon Child and human Aiwass were indeed the same person. That kind of arrogance and aggression that seemed to follow his will was something that Aiwass could not usually show.
Just the other side.
And Aiwass was also very happy.
It's not like he can't give Lily a bite.
Even if Lily is thirsty enough or too hungry, he can even take the initiative to feed her - at that time, he chose [Flesh and Blood Sacrifice], wasn't it just to be able to more conveniently feed these children who were crying for food?
But Lily can suppress the bloodthirsty instinct of the werewolf with her own reason, rationality or anything else... This will naturally make Aiwass happier. After all, Aiwass possesses the purple-level Dao of [Flesh and Blood Dedication].
He has the habit of attracting vampires and werewolves to eat more easily than others. Even Miss Bayard in the dream could not completely control herself.
——But Lily, who had become a werewolf not long ago, did it.
This is something worthy of praise. Feed her a few mouthfuls after it's over.
Aiwass thought so and stood up.
He looked at the Punishment Demon and took out the ritual materials from his satchel.
That was the material bag that Sherlock was carrying before, and now it was lent to Aiwass by Sherlock.
Seeing this scene, the Punishment Demon finally couldn't help but said: "It's useless even if you defeat me. The leader of the Noble Red Society came in with me. That is the only royal bloodline of the giant - Wolfla
Mu!
"He is a great wizard of the fifth level. Just like your grandfather, our former leader Jacob, he has all kinds of mysterious methods. He is not that easy to die... and he also has a bound person.
He has a professional level and received the education of Star Antimony Rose Cross! Even in Star Antimony, he has many fifth-level friends and mentors——"
——On the surface, this is the backstage where the Punishment Demon is showing off himself.
But it was actually helping Aiwass provide information about Wolfram.
However, this was not based on goodwill towards Aiwass, but on fear of Wolfram.
Wolfram is not a good person. He is vicious and experienced. His methods of punishing his subordinates are cruel and decisive, making the Punishment Demon always fearful. Even now that it has become an immortal demon, it still treats Wolf
Fram was afraid.
When it realized that Aiwass had been prepared for a long time and that this was a trap... the Punishment Demon clearly realized what it had done. Compared with death in the material world, being killed by someone who liked to hide in the material world
, and its resentment towards the great wizard whom it knows very well will make it even more uneasy.
If Aiwass can be induced to target Wolfram, then even if he dies once, it won't be a big problem.
He can die, but Wolfram must die with him!
So thinking of this, the Punishment Demon continued to increase his efforts, trying his best to arouse hatred for Wolfram: "His purpose is to seize the [Book of Law] in your hand! He will definitely kill you and avenge me!
"
"Okay, stop screaming. He will die faster than you...at least for this first life, he will die much faster than you."
Aiwass sneered and shook out the tarot cards.
"——What do you think I did with Sherlock just now?"
