Chapter 18 Next Steps
After learning some of the information about Rusa, Artevans also has to make plans for the future.
At the very least, Artevans didn't think that Notek would give up on his laurels, and even if Notek's actions were known to Sia, he would do everything he could to get into trouble with him.
Now that she has Rusha at her disposal, the power possessed by Artevans is still no match for the strength of the entire Divine Heir Clan.
In addition to improving his strength, Artevans must have his own power.
"Where did you go before you were captured by the Church of the Mages?" Artevans asked, looking at Rusa, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner with her eyes closed.
"East, coastal." Sensing Artevans' gaze, Rusa immediately opened her eyes.
"Are there many strong people there? Also, you don't need to be so nervous.' Sensing that Rusha was too reserved, Artevans tries to make Rusa relax.
"Rivaled me, didn't find it." Rusha thought for a moment and replied.
(That means that there are strong people, but the strength is not satisfactory?) It seems that the strongest people of the Sepion Plain are basically concentrated here. )
Originally, Artevans had plans to go to the east, but Aruba said that there were no humans in the east who could match him, and that was obviously not the result that Artevans wanted.
Artevans could see that although Rusa's ability as a nightmare was lacking, her overall strength was definitely not bad, otherwise she would not have been able to find all the witnesses in Kiddel City and modify their memories before her body was fully restored after she was out of the cage.
She hasn't been with her for long, and in Artevans's mind, she is still usable, not useful.
The reason why Artevans rescued Elusa is simple, first, she is available, and second, she is a demon who can help Artevans find the entrance to the Hell.
Despite the sheer interest of both reasons, Artevans did not intend to make his relationship with Rusa seem particularly stiff and serious. So he also deliberately explained to Ai Rusha that he didn't need to care too much about the relationship between the two parties, and that it would be better to behave naturally.
"You can't say the whole thing, can you?" Atfans asked again.
Rusha, who was still recuperating with her eyes closed, did not open her eyes this time, but nodded silently.
(If she can't communicate in a normal way, she's just a tool to kill to me, and I don't want more than that.) However, Nightmare's mental power is very strong, and it is not too difficult to get familiar with normal communication. )
Artevans' own strength is above Rusha, so Rusha's role will definitely not be just fighting. Atfans felt that Rusa could come in handy in many places
The rain continued to fall, and Artevans gradually felt a little tired, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
At this moment, Rusa, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner, opened her eyes, looked at Artevans, who had fallen asleep, and with a wave of her hand, a black shield surrounded the room.
————————————
"The seal, a little more ......" The black mist that lurked in the depths of Artfans' soul began to restless again.
It looked at the light blue barrier that had begun to crack, and couldn't suppress the joy in its heart.
The light of the oracle mark in Artfans's body has become weaker and weaker, while the demon mark on the other side emits a strong purple light. If Artevans continues to strengthen his abilities as a demon, it will only be a matter of time before the power of the oracle sigil disappears completely.
At this moment, a humanoid figure that looked like Atfans appeared in front of the black mist.
"What are you?" Atvance, once again in his sleep, meets an object in the depths of his soul.
"I, hahaha, it shouldn't take long for you to know what I am......" Black Mist didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Neither the Black Mist nor the Atfans, who entered the depths of his soul in his sleep, noticed that the Sealed ...... had turned back into her original body, and was watching all this.
Rusha looked at the depths of Artevan's soul and looked thoughtfully.
In order not to let herself be noticed, she did not stay long, and left the inner space of Artevans.
————————————
In the early morning after the rain, the sun is shining brightly.
Artevans slowly opened his eyes and realized that it was already dawn, so he stood up and prepared his next plan.
"Do you know where you enter the Hellscape from Ostia?" After feeling that there was nothing of value left in the human world, Artevans thought of the hometown of the demons, the Dark Hell.
"Cole Mountains......" Rusa's flat tone revealed affirmation.
Is that going back, Artevans remembered the white tiger he had met in the Kohl Mountains, and the memory that seemed to be missing. There, it's really worth going again!
After deciding to return to the Cole Mountains to find the entrance to the Hell, Artevans did not want to stay too long in the Sepien Plains.
"On the way back, you're bound to meet a lot of humans, so you should be a big deal of attention." Artevans said as he looked at Rusa.
Indeed, even when she is in human form, there is a clear difference between Ai Rusha and ordinary humans, the most prominent of which is nothing more than a pair of eyes that are not human at first glance. If Rusha is allowed to walk down the street like this, it will attract unnecessary attention.
"The body, attached, is not hindered." Rusha said, looking directly into Atvance's eyes, although her tone was very flat, Artvis could still hear a little bit of a request.
"Do you want to attach it to me, it's really convenient, and demons can also use spiritual communication with each other." Artevans understood what she meant from Rusa's tone and nodded.
"Inner space, enter." Rusha then said.
The inner space refers to the inside of the soul of the creature, which contains all the spiritual and soul power of the creature, and is also the location of the magic imprint. The center of the inner space, which is also the deepest part, is the core that exudes soul power, spiritual power, and even the special energy of living beings.
As a nightmare, it is not difficult for Ai Rusha to enter the inner space of living beings, and staying in the inner space in the form of the black shadow of the body can also allow Ai Rusha to be replenished with mental power at all times.
In addition, nightmares can also attach to the surface of living organisms after turning into their bodies, or they can be in the body without touching the inner space, and Aruba has her own plans to live in the inner space of the Atvance. She wondered what was going on in the inner space of Artevans.
However, Artevans didn't seem to mind that Rusha would live in his inner space, and he nodded in agreement. Rusa also reverted back to her original form and entered the body of Atfans.
Siya's prohibition happened to be in the inner space of Atvance, and Atvance was generally aware of his situation, although he was still full of doubts about the situation within the prohibition.
It's just that, except for a few strange dreams, he can't look directly into the depths of his soul, and if Aruba can find out something and tell him, it will be a good thing for Atvance.
After Rusha entered the inner space of Atvance, from the outside, Artevans was no different, but if you look very closely, you can still see that Atvance's eyes have a very faint dark red pale light.
The two sides can also communicate with their minds, and Artevans can directly let Rusha come out if he needs anything.
Once everything was ready, Artevans set off to secretly return to Kiddell City.
————————————
After rescuing Rusa, Artevans traveled to the east of Kidder City, and if he wanted to go to the Cole Mountains, Artevans should go west, and it was quickest to go directly through Kiddel City.
But Artevans didn't just do it for convenience, he had one more thing to confirm.
Using the "nothingness", Artevans unknowingly returned to the Church of the Magies, and he used the energy he was familiar with when he came into contact with Rogge a few days ago to find Rogge's location accurately.
"Rusa, go take a look." Flying straight from outside the church to the window of Rogge's room, Artevans softly called out to Rusa.
A dark shadow flew out of Atfans' chest and into the room.
"It seems that your condition has improved a lot, so I'll ask you directly, what happened yesterday?" Patheus asked, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Rog, who was already awake from the bed.
"Uh......" Rogge stroked his forehead, trying to remember yesterday's experience. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes widened.
"I remember, it's the Lord of the Divine Heir Clan, who snatched the nightmare and killed our people, but I survived!" Rogge's emotions seemed a little agitated.
Through the sharing of Rusa's sight and hearing, Artevans, who learned about the situation in the room, couldn't help but smile.
"He also said that sooner or later he would enslave all mankind, and that we were an inferior race." Rogge gritted his teeth and said. It is clear that Rusha's memory modification has achieved the desired effect. But to Artevans' slight surprise, the words that Rogge "repeated" were indeed words that a character like Notek would say. It seems that Rusa seems to have learned about Notek's personality from his behavior when he traded with the people of the church.
"I see, you go ahead and rest, I'll take care of this." Patheus patted Rogge on the shoulder and left the room.
"Is this true?" After leaving the room, Pasius looked at Lora in front of him and asked.
"I've investigated, and there was indeed a battle in the Northern Clearing yesterday, and the dead church members did have very strange light attribute magic on them. I've also found some people who have stumbled upon the fighting, and what they're saying is not much different from what Rog said.'"
Lora frowned, after all, she knew something that Pasius didn't know, but the facts presented now were completely different from what she had expected.
(Did Belance really not make a move?) I always feel that there are many doubts about this matter. )
Lora couldn't help but feel a little frightened, after all, she was the one who had helped Rogge in the past, and it was very likely that Artevans would find her by the way.
"Yes, then this incident was caused by the Divine Heirs. Hmph, don't think that because your race is strong, you can underestimate our power!' Patheus snorted coldly, shook his hand and left.
Satisfied, the Church of Sorcerers had taken aim at the Heirs, and Atfans was so satisfied that he called back Rusa and left Kidder City.
