What has he done this year?

At first, he joined the Magic Alliance in order to become stronger, in order not to leave regrets, and to protect important people, but in the end, he couldn't even protect the people he wanted to protect the most!

Really, can't do anything?

The scar on the arm, finally, once again awakened the guilt of powerlessness. Just like when Wendy died more than four years ago, he was still the same kid who couldn't do anything, and he could only run away and couldn't save anyone.

Asa looked at him without saying a word, holding a wine glass in his hand, and the clear and translucent wine reflected the pale purple of the moonlight, as quiet as a lake in the setting sun. Maybe it's because the purple moonlight looks a little cold, and Asa's eyes seem to be sad.

What was there for him to be sad about? Was it because of Aisha or ......

To be honest, Ivan didn't dare to say that he knew Asa, he knew that Asa had caused the tragedy of the Cod Village of the Ghost Islands, killed many innocent demon half-blood villagers, and had betrayed the Demon Alliance, and even the Holy Magisters of the Core Council could do nothing to him, in addition, he was also the teacher of the Crystal Holy Magister Laxis Flotica, and because of his connections, Laxis had encountered a lot of trouble.

He knew that Asa was the other owner of the magic artifact "Black Star", and Black Star was a ...... Something terrible.

But this is the same person who saved Aisha's life when she was very young. He has saved more than just Aisha. Why exactly...... Who is this person?

"Ten years ago, I went to the continent of Seto to find a missing colleague. Asa put down his cup and whispered.

Ivan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what story Asa was telling, and soon, he noticed that Asa was using the word "colleague".

“...... Colleague?"

"Hmm. At the time, I was in the Inner Council of the Wizarding Alliance, and my title was 'Star Holy Magister', the same as the one in Yatel now. The missing colleague is Stephen of the Esmedra family, the 'Holy Magister of Source Power', who is considered a person of high status. Asa lowered his gaze slightly. Ivan suddenly had the feeling that Asa didn't like this "colleague".

"Oh. He nodded wryly.

"You're right. It is not difficult to break into the territory of the demon race with my strength, but it is impossible for the spatial magic of the black star not to be discovered by the keen demon powerhouse. Asa raised his left hand and gestured to Ivan. Seeing the pitch-black ring on Asa's finger again, Ivan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, as if it was instinctive fear.

"I'm just going to find someone, and it's not worth it if it's causing more conflict. While hoping that Stephen's stupid guy would not break into the hinterland of the demons, I slowly searched the nearby sea. This time Asa did not hide his disgust for Stephen at all, "It was very dark, and I saw patches of red eyes flying in the sky from the direction of the continent of Seto. I thought it was Stephen who angered the Winged Demon. Well...... Those demons are the Winged Demons, and their master is the First Demon General Pryde, known as the 'Winged Demon Lord'. ”

"He's the Demon King?" Ivan gasped, and suddenly felt his heart clench.

"No, he is the master of all the Winged Demons, the demons are different from us, they are actually very loose, as long as they are strong enough, they can have power. Asa patiently explained. "I didn't see Pride in person, though. The Winged Demons weren't chasing Stephen, they were chasing a boat. The people on board are...... Monster hunter Robin Trand and his daughter, Aisha. ”

It was as if a terrible lightning bolt was falling overhead, as if even the heartbeat had stopped.

Ivan held his breath and stared blankly, many images of Aisha flashing through his mind in a trance. When Aisha was five years old. That is...... Ten years ago, she was rescued by a magician who wore a black ring and looked to be only twenty years old...... He was the Asa Hernos in front of him.

"Isha she ......" throat is like someone pinching hard, and it is so hard to spit out the name. Almost exhausted the strength of the whole body.

"Aisha's father, Robin, is human, but her mother is a demon. ”

The answer was not unexpected, but Ivan was still hard to accept when he heard Asa's calm, almost decisive assertion.

"Her mother is the older sister of the Night Demon Sisters, and I heard that she is also a strong person among the demons, and more importantly, the demon blood on Aisha's body is very strong, and I didn't even find out that she is not a pure-blooded demon. ”

"You, you saved their father and daughter at that time, didn't you......" The unacceptable fact weighed down on his head like a heavy cumulonimbus cloud, but despite this, Ivan thought of the fact that their father and daughter had been saved.

Asa sighed softly.

"I wanted to kill her. Without waiting for Ivan to respond, Asa continued, "She is not just a demon hybrid, she has a very special physique, her magic power can grow unlimitedly, and she is not restricted by any attributes. Once upon a time, there was another demon who had this special ability, and he was called the Monarch of Chaos, I think, you've heard of it too. ”

Ivan's expression froze completely.

But she didn't know anything at the time. Asa said, slowly closing her eyes, "She is only five years old, very simple, and should be entitled to have a life." Maybe it won't be very free, very ...... An unfettered life, at least, should not be dying at such a young age. I remember her eyes, I rarely see such pure eyes, if she was an ordinary human being, she would have become a very kind person. ”

There seemed to be a tremor in Asa's voice. Ivan watched Asa silently, unable to utter a word.

"It was Robin who told me about Aisha's background, and she had a ...... Very brave and strong parents, I don't want to erase the little hope that their family has worked so hard to get in earn. Aisha can only use no more than five hundred units of Origin Mana at a time, and this is caused by my seal, and my seal has also caused damage to her memory. But in short, she was able to live like an ordinary child. ”

A chill spread from my heart.

Ivan struggled to look away with stiff movements, and in the wine glass in front of him was a bitter and sad face.

"Then I went to see them - I used the magic of a wizard to send them to the region of Yerin - and I heard that they had settled in a village near the City of Light. Of course, I just looked at them from afar, and they were all alive and couldn't say it well...... Because, Robin was once mortally cursed by Pryde, and unfortunately I don't know anything about that curse, and Isha has become very poor again......" Asa raised his hand to his forehead, "The seal still has a very strong effect on her. For several years, they lived in that village, until—"

- Until Robin's death.

After that, the story is related to the Magic Alliance, as well as Xiulin and Ivan. (To be continued......)
