Chapter 84: Inferior Imitators
"As for the fall into corruption—that might be the very reason behind it."
Illiya had never considered things from this angle before. Now that someone had pointed it out, he suddenly had a new line of thought. But this idea could only be confirmed by going to the Demon Realm.
Because the Demon Realm’s collection of books might be even more comprehensive than that of the Elves.
Hearing Ke’Oth’s explanation, Illiya felt more grounded.
It seemed Ke’Oth already had a suspect—or rather, he suspected a particular branch of demons.
Many ideas suddenly flashed through Illiya’s mind, but he couldn’t grasp a single one. Fleeting inspiration was always the hardest to hold onto.
After pondering for a moment, Illiya asked directly, "Ke’Oth, do you already have someone in mind?"
Ke’Oth wasn’t surprised that they reached that conclusion. Demons had little interest in hiding the truth or lying. Moreover, he genuinely disliked the demons responsible for this mess. To be more accurate, many other demons disliked that particular branch as well.
"Yes, I do have someone in mind," Ke’Oth affirmed. "If my guess is right, it should be that branch of demons that often lingers near the Abyss. You all might not know, but N’zall definitely does."
The moment Ke’Oth mentioned the word "Abyss," N’zall’s brows furrowed tightly. His expression turned grim, and his hands that was hanging loosely by his sides—curled into fists on instinct. He looked like a bow drawn taut, ready to shoot at any moment.
"How could I possibly forget that branch of demons?" N’zall enunciated each word slowly, his tone so fierce it seemed like he was ready to bite someone. "I will never forget that branch of demons."
