Chapter 959 - 470: Demon’s Purpose (2)
"Ah, has she left?" the Dragon Maiden asked softly.
"Yes, are you alright? Did she suppress your will?"
"I’m fine, but facing her, it’s indeed very difficult to manage. She is the manifestation of the curse entangled in the Bloody Red Land, and she is also me, just more vivid."
"That’s right, that’s right, in the Land of Ten Thousand Spirits, it’s hard to stop the multitude of thoughts and such." Liluliss nodded on the side.
"Maybe I can try helping to remove the curse now." Li Ang tentatively said to Inanna.
The Dragon Maiden’s eyelashes fluttered, she said nothing, but seemed to be caught in hesitation.
"Could... you let me think about it? She is also me. Although I don’t know what the result of your action will be, if she has to disappear, I also have some... because she is also me."
As the embodiment of the Earth’s inclusiveness, the Dragon Maiden seemed to want to accept her tormented and miserable side as part of the Earth. Li Ang chose to respect her in this, nodding and letting her figure it out on her own.
Lily clenched her fist: "Then let’s discuss how to kill that big skeleton Demon, after killing it, I can seize the chance to repair."
At this point, Diao stepped forward and asked, "Miss Lily, can I take a look at your condition?"
"She knows advanced Healing Spells." Li Ang showcased the regenerating severed arm to Lily: "It’s all thanks to her healing."
"No problem." Lily showed a completely unguarded smile.
"Please let me see too."
Through the Mark, Li Ang could feel that even this gentle Inanna was indignant about Lily regarding Bahamut, but she could hold back her emotions to help an ally check the injury.
The black-haired young girl posed in a large character shape, looking at ease as if awaiting judgment.
"Miss Lily, there’s no need for this..."
"Oh really? I thought it was similar to when Granny strengthened my body with Casting Enhancement."
"Is that the sect’s Secret Technique?"
"Indeed, the sect prepares Enhancement Magic for every witch, but I don’t know if there’s any outside."
As they examined Liluliss’s injuries, Li Ang casually inquired about her experiences.
"You don’t know if there’s any outside, are you not familiar with the world beyond the sect?"
"Yes, our activity area is only the underground tunnels, the underground chapel, and the Holy Altar. I’m bold, sometimes I dare to swim along the Holy Spring’s waterway, if you keep swimming, you can reach a small river outside. I always sneak out this way, oh, the last time I left was through there too." Lily said.
"You sneaked out?!"
Li Ang began to have a headache.
Doesn’t this mean there’s still a massive hidden organization searching for her?
Wait, if she fought Zoe’s father and many Star Souls along with the Eye of God, wouldn’t the sect notice? Why didn’t they capture her back? And allow her to have children outside?
Or is this all intentional by the organization?
His mind flashed with many thoughts, but Lily just laughed: "It wasn’t sneaking out; Granny sent me out to investigate."
"That’s a relief." Li Ang let out a breath.
Lily counted on her fingers: "I’ve been out for one, two, three, four years... let me see..."
The black-haired young girl finally roughly estimated: "Maybe fourteen years?"
Surely more than fourteen years; your daughter is already fifteen. Li Ang thought in the heart. Of course, he didn’t dare to say it out loud.
"Alright, whether it’s over ten years, but don’t tell me you haven’t gone back once?"
"I haven’t."
"Don’t you send messages? Don’t you miss that Granny?"
"After I left, I didn’t know how to return."
Is it that she’s too detached, or what? The sect doesn’t look for her, doesn’t help her, with the ability to lurk for at least thousands of years, they could most likely find Zoe, right? They don’t even take in Zoe. This matter reeks of oddity.
Li Ang suddenly felt something was amiss.
Lily’s expression suddenly dimmed: "Of course I miss Granny and the other witches, but, all the contact points and methods they left were useless, this point I remember clearly, it’s impossible to get wrong.
"I probably upset them at some point again. Before, Granny could find me wherever I was, she surely doesn’t want me anymore."
The scene temporarily fell into silence, Lily spoke again: "I came out and met so many people, and even had children, but we didn’t defeat those powerful enemies, so I got injured."
"You are already very strong." Li Ang said.
Perhaps due to the sect being a true reclusive organization, having transmitted many Secret Techniques, and for some reason being able to cultivate Bahamut witches, Lily seemed to have little concept of her strength.
"You have children? But you look..."
"Yes, she should now be as old as when I left the chapel, oh, I know, I must have left about fifteen years ago when it was..."
Lily continued talking to herself, while Li Ang watched her and shook his head, next to him, Diao had a look of disbelief, because Liluliss’s appearance showed no signs of her true age of thirty, as if she was frozen in her prime.
"Your injury involves your essence." Inanna said at this moment.
"Yes, it’s very serious overall, I can’t use my power well." Lily nodded.
Diao, using the Power of Life for perception, said: "I feel it too, no matter how much normal healing energy disappears, only Miss Lily’s self-healing ability is damaged for it to be like this."
"Let me have a look." Li Ang listened from the side, due to Lily’s power being special and strong, and favored by Bahamut, her Spirit Line was extremely complex and vast, he also wanted to observe it just now but got distracted by the various conversations.
At this time, he concentrated on observing, the vision of a Spiritual Forger far exceeding the perception of a mage, quickly delving into the black-haired girl’s Spiritual Structure.
If he were to solve the curse of the Yunxiang Race now, it might only take a few minutes.
In the depths of her Spirit Line, which already no longer seemed human but more dragon-like, in the innermost layer of Spiritual Structure, Lily’s original spirituality was dissected, causing her acceptance and operation of power to be affected, and ultimately impacting life itself.
"Suffering such an injury, must be the joint effect of strong material energy and spiritual attack." Li Ang said.
"Yes, it’s because extremely strong Elemental Attack is combined with the blows from a demonized enemy."
"Is it the ’Eye of God’?" Li Ang asked.
"Yes," Lily was surprised, "you know about them too?"
She suddenly realized: "Oh, you were initially a witch, it’s not surprising if you encountered them."
Li Ang explained that he guessed this because he only knew about this type of Demon Worshiper.
Lily said she was sent out to investigate them.
"They are using the Star Soul, a powerful Demon, to help them achieve some terrible goal. Although I don’t know what exactly it is, it seems someone in the sect knows quite a bit, it’s absolutely not allowed to happen.
"In the end, I was injured by the briefly appeared Hundred Eyed Demon." The black-haired girl said: "It’s more cunning than the Thousand-Throated Demon, mainly because of its many minions cooperating."
"You know about the Thousand-Throated Demon too?" Li Ang asked.
Regarding demons, the sect surprisingly knew so much, this piqued Li Ang’s interest. Having experienced the Illusion Realm, Diao, who had some understanding, also perked up his ears.
Lily narrated that the sect indeed knew about the Mouthswarm Demon, which was annihilated by the founder of the Wotam Sect, the "Goddess of Kindness," and her following Saint, its title was the "Thousand-Throated Demon."
It also had extremely terrifying objectives, seemingly searching for something.
"It seems their targets aren’t the same?"
Indeed, Lily confidently stated that these demons, who still wished to influence Nebis after being exiled, sometimes cooperated, sometimes conflicted, and most of the time did not interfere with each other, divided into two factions, each seeking to achieve two different goals.
