Chapter XVII

The sky of the forest of Ramas never seems to be cloudy, and the sun is always so bright during the day. I don't know if it's the influence of the magic of the Divine Heirs, or the effect of the Forest Enchantment, no one can say for sure.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in Pano Village is like shrouded in clouds.

"Say, Notek, except for the deals you made with humans behind my back. How much information did you leak about the Divine Heir Clan?"

Inside the church, Siya sat on the archbishop's holy chair and looked at Notek standing in front of him with a serious face.

"Only in this way can we know more about the other races of this world, so that the world can know our existence and know how powerful we are."

Notek looked directly at Siya and clenched his fists. He knew that if he bowed to Siya here, his main battle faction would be suppressed by Siya all the time.

"Then, can you defeat them smoothly and let your main battle faction dominate this world?" Siya slapped the armrest of the chair hard, and a strong breath rushed over Notek's face.

"Notek, you think that the Divine Heir Race is the strongest race in this world, but you have no idea that there are many strong people in this world. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will pay the price for your arrogance.'"

Siya sighed and said, "Think about it, during this time, you can't leave the village for half a step, I will send people to watch over you, and you don't need to go out to investigate from now on." What you did before, I should give you a face and no longer pursue it. Go back......

As she spoke, Siya waved her hand.

But Notek didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and he lowered his head, slightly hiding his disdainful expression.

"Archbishop, there's one more thing that I'm afraid we need to deal with." When he raised his head again, Notek's gaze became extremely sharp.

Looking at Notek's eyes, Siya seemed to feel a little bad.

"Artevis, the traitor of the Divine Heir, he's still alive. As an archbishop, you shouldn't sit idly by, after all, he killed several people." Notek raised an eyebrow, and as soon as these words came out, the pressure shifted to Siya again.

"This ...... Of course, I'll send a few of my clansmen."

Si Yaming knew that this was deliberately proposed by Notek, but he was helpless. When Artevans was found alive by Notek, Siya was prepared for this to happen. If you do something symbolically, it will be difficult to explain to other people.

"I think two of them would be a good fit." The corners of Notek's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at Siya's side, "Talia, Rod, you are the most familiar with Artevans, and you should be able to accomplish this."

"Notek, what do you want to do!" Siya couldn't help but stand up, her eyes widening and she scolded angrily.

"What I'm saying is the truth, Talia and Rodat have been cultivating with Artfans for twenty years, so they must be quite familiar with each other, and besides, the strength of the two of them is not bad, so there is no problem in dealing with Artfans." Notek spoke, glancing at Talia and Roart, who were standing beside Sya.

"You ......," Siya just wanted to say.

"Master, Elder Notek is right, if you want to deal with Brother Artevans' affairs, I'm afraid Sister Talia and I are the most suitable." Rodt interrupted Sia, then glanced at Taria.

Talia was stunned for a moment, looked at Royalt, straightened her face, and said, "Master, let's go, since Artevans is already a traitor to the Divine Heir Clan, then there is no need to show mercy."

"Alright, let's go when you're ready...... Siya sighed helplessly.

————————————

In Talia's house.

"Rodt, although what Artevans did did hurt the interests of the Divine Heir, if I want to kill Artevans, I should ......" After coming out of the church, Talia took Roatra to her house.

"Sister Talia, I think you need to see what happened. Elder Notek obviously deliberately brought up the fact that Brother Atfans was not dead to make things difficult for the master, and if we didn't accept it, the master would be in a very passive position." There was a rare hint of solemnity on Ronat's face.

"And...... Tell me the truth, what kind of person does Brother Artevans think he is.'"

"Twenty years, I don't think I knew anything about him, even though he never did anything to hurt us in those twenty years. However, the fact that he killed his people is ironclad," Talia said with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Taria's mood swings are all watched by Royalt.

"Well, then, it's time to make a break, isn't it? Brother Artevans is with us, no longer a companion. That's what happened.'" Rodt patted Talia on the shoulder and stood up.

(Sister Talia, forgive me for not telling you everything, I must keep Brother Artfans safe.) )

"Based on the information provided by Elder Notek, Brother Artevans should still be in the middle of the Sepien Plains, so if you're ready, come to me." With that, Loat left the house.

After Royalt left, Talia looked out the window with some amazement.

"Artevis, have you really been bent on revenge for twenty years? Obviously, it shouldn't be like this......

————————————

After successfully exiting the northern clearing of Kiddell City, Artvance headed east to an unknown town. Before the rainstorm came, I found a hotel to stay in.

Along the way, Artevans left behind a demonic aura that was difficult for others to capture, so that Rusha could find her location along the aura.

Due to the existence of a barrier in Kiddell City, no matter what happened inside, it was impossible to see anything unusual from the outside. That is, everything that Artevans did was not known to the outside world.

But Artevans still left Rog with a life, after all, Rog still has some value to Artfans.

The rain poured down, calming the otherwise bustling town.

Atfans sat by the window and watched the pouring rain outside. He didn't close the window, and from time to time raindrops blew in and dripped down his face.

Moments later, a dark shadow flew into the room through the window, and Artevans closed the window.

"It's a little later than I expected." Artevans said as he looked at Rusa.

"Memory revision is time-consuming." Rusha slowly molded from a dark shadow into what Artevans saw in the basement, but the shadow seemed to be condensing into a finer shape.

"Memory modification?" Artevans was a little confused, but he immediately understood what Rusa meant, and couldn't help but smile.

"It seems that you helped me take care of what I didn't notice, and although the dead can't speak, the living will remember what they see."

The purpose of Artevans' life was to get Rogge to go back and report what had happened to the church, but what Rog said would never be true.

As a nightmare, it was easy for Rusha to modify the memories of a comatose human. In addition, Artevans bounced off Notek's magic onto the corpses of church members, leaving traces of the magic of the Divine Heirs.

After removing the traces of his magic, the truth will be distorted in Rogge's mouth as "The Lord of the Divine Heirs killed the people of the church and took the nightmare." And if the church had sent people to investigate, nothing would have happened.

However, what Atfans really didn't expect was that inside Kiddell City, there would inevitably be people who saw all this from outside the clearing. What Arusha did was use her nightmare's unique ability to find people who had accidentally seen the battle in the clearing, and then modify their memories.

After only a few moments, a full human form appeared in front of Artevans. At this time, Rusha is not the original black shadow form, but condensed into the appearance of a girl.

His long dark hair reached his waist, and he was more than half a head shorter than Artevis. Despite her pale complexion, blood-red, strangely patterned pupils, and slightly exposed fangs, she knew at first glance that she was not human, but her delicate face and near-perfectly proportioned body undoubtedly made her humanoid appearance a beauty.

The eyes that don't show a trace of emotion, and the tiny black marks like a spell under the left eye, reveal the coldness. A black suit made up of Nightmare's spiritual power matched the form perfectly.

"From now on, allegiance, what's the name?" Rusha placed her right hand on her chest and knelt on one knee in front of Atlance.

"Artevis, you can call me that. Also, this kind of etiquette is not necessary.'" Although Rusa's human form gave Atvance the impact of the four groups, causing Atvance to take a closer look, his expression was still very calm.

(I have to admit that with my aesthetic, Rusha is still better looking than Taria.) )

Artevans couldn't help but think so.

Rusha stood up, looked directly at Artevans, and said, "Lord Artevans."

"You seem a little different from other nightmares." Atfans discovers that Rusa's nails are very sharp, not so much deliberately shaped as a weapon in her human form.

"Crippled, Core." Rusha opened her mouth, as if she wanted to continue, but there was a hint of embarrassment.

"Just do what you want to say, I can understand." Artevans understood why Rusa looked like this, and said, then reached out and motioned for her to sit down in a chair next to her.

Rusha nodded, sat down in her chair, thought for a moment, and then explained her situation.

The source of life that sustains the demons is the demon core near the heart of the demons. However, nightmares are very special beings among the demons, they do not have a demon core, but maintain their life characteristics and external form through strong spiritual power.

In this way, Nightmares can be said to be not afraid of death, and as long as they provide sufficient mental energy, they will be revived again. As long as there is a continuous supply of mental power or soul power, the nightmare will always exist.

However, Rusa has a core that Nightmare shouldn't have, which makes her ability as a Nightmare weaker than the rest of her kind. This also means that Rusha is a mutilated nightmare.

The existence of the demon core also gives Rusha a few things, that is, gender, full body, and positive combat power.

Nightmares have no gender and fixed form, but because they have a magic core, Rusha also has the gender and fixed form that other types of demons have, and this is what a girl looks like now.

Because ordinary nightmares exist in the form of black shadows, they can only weaken their targets through the power of silkworms. However, Rusa's ability to transform into a human form allows her to act in the form of a nightmare's dark shadow and to fight head-on in human form.

Knowing how Rusa was different from other nightmares, Artevans' eyes lit up.

(It's really, really, fantastic...... )
