Chapter 143: The First Demon Scholar
This time, the Shadow Fiend is really full.
As the level of Aihuas's dedication path increased, so did the strength of the flesh and blood he voluntarily sacrificed.
Maybe it's really hard to eat, or maybe it's to express gratitude...... It may also be that the appearance of the Flame Butterfly has made it a little wary and eager to improve its status in Aihuas's heart.
The Shadow Fiend offered to try the other side of the shepherding method, giving Lily some of its source of power.
As a demon, Shadow Demon doesn't believe in "long-term love", only profit and fear are absolutely connected. So it tries its best to be useful.
- It's obviously a high-ranking demon, but the shadow demon feels that he is the weaker side at the moment.
If it were to be replaced by other demon scholars, they would have to offer to the Shadow Demons. That's how the concept of the so-called "superior demon" came about.
Because the demons themselves are stronger than them, the contract is not binding enough on the demons. These demons belong to the group of people who listen to a few sentences when they are in a good mood, and don't bother to pay attention to them when they are in a bad mood. Even if the demons wanted to get rid of them, it would not be difficult for them to kill them and change their masters, or to return to their own territory in the dream world.
But that's no problem.
It prefers the promising, dangerous and exciting type of Ivus to those demon scholars who make Shadow Fiend unmotivated.
"Speaking of which," Ivas casually inquired as he prepared for the pastoral ceremony, "you said that your rebirth was probably decades ago?" Have you ever been summoned by another demon scholar? β
"Yes."
The Shadow Fiend chuckled in Chloe's sweet voice, "But I killed them all."
"It's too weak. There is no strength, and there is no talent; There is no desire to rise higher, not even a bit of pattern. It's rare to summon me, but only hope that I can take away their political enemies, or keep them safe in the shadows. β
It was visibly impatient with the demon scholars: "Isn't it the same as inviting an assassin or bodyguard for such a trivial matter as murder?" β
"Huh?"
Lily on the side was a little curious: "It turns out that demons don't like to kill?" β
This is common knowledge that many demon scholars don't know - most demons don't really like to bully the weak. Demons like to eat people, or rather, all illusions are interested in the soul, because the soul, the mind, and the will are the food of the illusion. The Shadow Fiend is also tasting my 'transcendence'. β
Evas replied, "The demon is simply cruel and tyrannical, so he will be ruthless and will choose the fastest and most utilitarian means to obtain food. But it is not that you get pleasure from sadism...... Human beings judge demons according to their own morals and preferences, and they come to the conclusion that demons like to kill. β
The Lower Demons like to attack humans because the Lower Demons themselves are the weakest illusions. Just like the Iron Hook Demons, they are not demons that have been transformed by the brand of great sin, but are new illusions born spontaneously from various concepts of pain, sin, evil, and desire.
These illusions don't have much intelligence, and they don't have any memories of past lives. They only have instincts, and they can't even speak.
Aside from living in the dream realm, they don't leave a complete corpse when they die in the material realm, and they are not much different from ordinary beasts. Even many beasts are smarter than them - griffins, for example.
"Demon scholars have judged by observing the habits of these lower-ranking demons that the characteristics are not actually suitable for higher-ranking demons. This is also the reason why they are strongly hindered when it comes to controlling the upper demons. β
Ivas said with a smile: "For these high-ranking demons with normal human intelligence, or even more intelligent, these demon scholars are used to manipulating those little demons, and treat them as children or mentally retarded, which is a very easy behavior to anger the demons. β
"So we don't mind that human demon scholars divide into 'superior demons' and 'lower demons'."
The Shadow Fiend added under Ivus, "Let them summon the demons who have no brains." I might as well rest in the shadows. β
"Shadow Field...... What is it like? Lily wondered.
"You'll see you soon."
The Shadow Fiend replied, "While the Shadow Realm is in the Dream Realm, it also partially overlaps with reality. It is also known as the Shadow Country, the Shadow Realm...... Although mortals regard the 'Shadow Realm', the 'Heavenly Realm', and the 'Underworld' as different 'planes', they are actually all in the Dream Realm. It's just a different area of the dream world. β
In the Shadow Realm, Shadow Fiends are actually a minority. There are other illusions with shadow powers.
The vast majority of them come from the path of love, and a few are from the path of transcendence and adaptation. Because the Celestial Division that controls the Shadow Realm is not the Fallen Celestial Division, but the Shadow Celestial Division.
"Isn't the Dream Realm the place where we participate in the promotion ceremony?" Lily asked.
"All the transcendents who participated in the promotion ceremony actually entered the same area. The area they enter during the ritual is called the 'Proving Ground'. β
Ivas replied, "I heard that there were no apostles in the Proving Ground before. At that time, there will be some illusions crouching nearby, invading the promotion ceremony and devouring the souls of those who participate in the promotion...... The candidate was taken away by a passing wolf.
"There are also some illusions who hate a certain path. Therefore, they will deliberately target the transcendents of this path and make their promotion fail. There are also transcendents who take advantage of this habit to summon illusions and notify them in advance to seek cooperation from the field.
"It's undoubtedly cheating.
"The presiding officer is to put an end to this situation and to guard the ceremony venue from being invaded by outsiders. Although the apostles may not be very strong, they are the agents of the Nine Pillars God, and attacking the apostles is tantamount to attacking the Nine Pillars God...... Am I right? β
"Exactly, my wise and learned master. Your knowledge of demons and dreams is greater than that of more than ninety percent of demon scholars in this world. β
"Ninety percent? Ten percent! β
Aihuas said unceremoniously: "Even Fontanelle, the ancestor of the profession of Demon Scholar, who has now become a great demon and an apostle of the Fallen Heavens, has taken the wrong path. β
Only in this field, he has the confidence and confidence to surpass everyone of his time.
Although the Demon Scholar is now the most popular profession for transcending the path, it is actually a relatively young profession.
The first demon scholar was born at the beginning of the fifteenth century, less than five hundred years ago. His name was Jean de Fontanelle, and he was the first man in the world to develop a demonic contract.
He used to be an alchemist, trying to make potions that "would bring back the dead".
He clearly failed. But he was only half the way through, because he summoned his former friends...... And it's been transformed into a shadow fiend. In order to keep his friends alive, he developed the Demon Pact.
"The first demon scholar in the world, the demon he contracted was the Shadow Demon. He is rumored to be able to summon demons from his shadow that tear others apart...... That's undoubtedly Shadow Fiend.
"He wasn't famous in his own right, but he had a student named FranΓ§ois Pleralati. He did not inherit the alchemy inheritance left by his teacher, but became interested in demonology. Eventually, he established a legacy of demonic scholars by studying the teachings left behind by his teacher.
He later became a trapper, and his friend Gilles de Ray was originally interested in alchemy, but became a blood demon under his deliberate guidance. These are the three people who first passed the Demon Scholar and advanced to the Demon Incarnation. Eventually, all three of them became apostles of the Fallen Celestials. β
For humans with short lifespans, it is extremely tempting to be able to sublimate into immortal and powerful demons.
As a result, all the demon scholars have gone the wrong way.
However, this "wrong way" also depends on the times, and before the Ouroboros Ring ceremony was invented, becoming a demon was also the only way to transcend the path.
But they clearly don't know enough about demons. I don't know how to summon the superior demons, and I don't even know enough about the superior demons, and I don't even study the demons themselves deeply enough...... Although the reasons for the birth and abilities of some low-level demons have been analyzed, the demons above the fifth level are basically ignorant of it.
"Fallen Heavens?"
Lily realized a point: "Why not the snake father?" β
"That's the crux of the matter."
Ivus just smiled, but didn't elaborate: "Okay, it's almost ready." Let's try the pastoral method...... Channel the power of Shadow Fiend into you. β
In fact, this is the reason why Ivas is sure that those demon scholars are on the wrong path.
Because the demon incarnation can only be promoted to the apostle of the fallen heavens.
Contrary to the impression given by demons, the snake father is actually a relatively compassionate and at least detached pillar god.
He hated blood and living sacrifices, and therefore did not like cruel demonic incarnations. The transcendent path always gives people the concept of cruelty and evil, but in fact, it is because the demons have a louder voice and a stronger sense of existence.
Therefore, as long as you become a demon incarnation, you will definitely be rejected by the snake father.
This is the reason why after they transform into demon incarnations, they can no longer continue to advance from the transcendent path.
- This is a secret that 100% of demon scholars don't know, and maybe even the vast majority of demons don't know about it. Because although the demons worship the snake father, they have no access to the snake father at all.
So Iwass chose to keep his mouth shut.
Because this is information that he should never have known about in any case, let alone obtained through legal channels!
