Maybe it's just a little while, or maybe it's been a long time.

Maybe it's a serious injury, or maybe it's something else...... The Demon Punishment felt as if he had been deprived of his sense of time. It couldn't tell the passage of time at all - it was just lying on the ground, but it felt as unreal as a dream.

- I'm probably going to die here.

This thought roughly came to the mind of the Demon Punishment.

And on top of that, he might also be the ritual material used by that guy or Arest. It's like you've made other humans out of material......

It's also a cycle. Cycling is an act of transcendence, like an Ouroboros devouring itself.

But even then, it didn't want to kill itself.

To kill oneself is to deny oneself—the devil cannot do such a thing, it is a denial of the fallen gods, and it is also a kind of cowardice.

- What's more, after "Cassiem" is completely transformed into a demon of punishment, he will not be affected by the death of the material world.

Even if you die, you will only lose your strength and return to sleep in the dream world. At most, it will turn into an illusory egg and re-parasitize into a child's body. When he grows up and is gradually assimilated into a demon by his own brand of great sin, he will still be able to hatch again after all.

Even if it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times. Mortals have a time to live, but illusions can live forever......

The Demon Punishment comforted himself in his heart.

That's when it happened.

Above the night sky, a swarm of bats fluttered over.

They reunited before the eyes of the Demon Punishment and took on the form of Ivus.

His slightly narrowed pupils were scarlet, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. There was undisguised contempt and sarcasm on his face, which was completely different from the gentle and firm appearance he had seen when he met before.

Seeing this scene, the Demon Punishment suddenly widened his eyes: "Son of the Moon? ”

At that moment, it buzzed in its head.

It instantly understood why His Royal Highness the Prince's curse had just been ineffective against Ehuas......

Because I don't know when Iwass has become a pure child of the moon!

- Since Ivas is not a human at all, the previous positioning is naturally invalid!

"Good evening, Mr. Cassiem."

Ivas said leisurely.

He looked around, then focused on the werewolf.

Seeing this, the gray wolf took two steps back with some shrunkness, and his front legs couldn't stop trembling.

But Ivus just smiled, crouched down and hooked his hand at her.

At just one glance, he recognized the other party's identity.

Although I don't know how she did it...... But there is no doubt that it is Lily.

Although Lily didn't mention it to Ivas at first, now that Lily is willing to show him her identity...... Naturally, Eivas wouldn't ask any more questions.

The gray wolf was stunned for a moment, then wagged his tail and pounced. She rubbed Ivus's hand affectionately, shoved her head under Ivus's palm, and sniffed him greedily.

…… It's so fragrant, so sweet.

Originally, it was easy to say that it was far away, but once it was close enough, Lily's mind was immediately overwhelmed by the scent of Ivus's flesh. It's like a hungry person entering a steaming bakery, and her eyes become a little straight.

I really want to take a bite......

However, no. Absolutely not.

If you show your wildness, your aggression and danger...... She couldn't stay with Ivus anymore. She's not the one who can make Ivus trust forever.

When she became a werewolf before, Lily subconsciously chose to hide it. But she soon regretted it.

When Lily was very young, she lied to her mother because she was so envious of a classmate's headband with broken gems. She said that the school asked for money and wanted to buy the hair tie herself.

She may be a genius for lying. Even if she lied for the first time in her life, even if no one had ever taught her how to play, she cheated that money very naturally and smoothly. Her mother didn't have the slightest doubt.

It wasn't a small sum of money - Lily only realized it when she got the money and wanted to buy a loaf of bread. She realized how much bread she could buy with the money, and then how many days it was needed to survive.

At that time, Lily suddenly felt fear.

The money must not really be spent, she thought.

But hiding it is just as painful. She worries that she will lose the money, that her mother will find it, that her classmates will see it, and that she must remain calm. As if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until half a year after such a day that the school really started asking for money. So Lily breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to use the money to fill the hole and settle the account. This matter is finally over.

And when she turned into a werewolf and didn't tell Ivus in the first place, she felt a similar fear.

She had been looking for a suitable excuse, a suitable occasion to bring it up. But after that, Eivers was always too busy, and she never found that opportunity.

– Strictly speaking, the opportunities are not the best right now.

But perhaps it's because of what Shadow Fiend did before Ivus set off...... Suddenly, she had a sense of crisis.

It was some kind of "abandonment again" fear.

So Lily finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to expose everything at this not the best time. To her delight, Ivas recognized her at a glance, but at the same time did not fear her or ask her about hiding the truth. But even so, she still feels uneasy.

This intense uneasiness is molded into a cage that restricts instincts.

- That's "adaptation".

Man has an instinct for laziness, just as wild animals have an instinct for gluttony. But the forces that come from adaptation to reverse this instinct...... And that's all for better survival, better "adaptation". It doesn't come from hope, it comes from fear.

Watching the scarlet in the werewolf's pupils fade, the corners of Ivus's mouth rose slightly.

"Good boy."

Ivus patted the gray wolf's head lightly and said softly.

At that moment, Lily finally realized with great certainty that the Ivus in the form of the Child of the Moon and the human Ivus were indeed the same person. That sense of arrogance and aggression that seems to be freewheeling is just another side that Ivas can't usually show.

And Iwass was also very happy.

It's not like he can't give Lily a bite.

Even if Lily was hungry enough and too hungry, he could even take the initiative to feed her - didn't he choose [Flesh and Blood Offering] at that time to be able to feed these children more conveniently?

But Lily can suppress the werewolf's bloodthirsty instincts with her own sanity, reason, or whatever...... This naturally made Ivas even happier. After all, Aihuas possesses the purple-level path trait of [Flesh and Blood Devotion]. He was already more likely than others to lure vampires and werewolves into eating, and even Miss Bayard in his dreams couldn't fully control herself.

- However, Lily, who had not long been a werewolf, did just that.

That's what deserves to be commended, so let's feed her when it's over.

Thinking so, Ivus stood up.

He looked at the Demon Punishment and took the ritual materials out of his satchel.

It was the bag of materials that Sherlock had been carrying, and now it had been lent to Ivus by Sherlock.

Seeing this scene, the Demon Punishment finally couldn't help but say, "Even if you defeat me, it's useless, and the leader of the Noble Red Society will come in with me." That's the giant's only royal bloodline - Wolfram!

"He's a fifth-level wizard, just like your grandfather, our former leader, Jacob, with all sorts of mystical methods. He didn't die that easily...... And he also has the class level of the Bonded, educated by the Star Antimony Rose Cross! Even in Star Antimony, he has many fifth-level friends and mentors—"

- On the surface, this is the punishment demon showing himself backstage.

But it was actually helping Ivas provide Wolfram with information.

However, this was not based on kindness to Ehuas, but on fear of Wolfram.

Wolfram is not a good guy. He is vicious and experienced. The methods of punishing subordinates are cruel and decisive, so that the punishment demon is always afraid. Even though it is now an immortal demon, it still fears Wolfram.

When it realizes that Ivus had been prepared for a long time, and that this was a trap...... The demon is clearly aware of what he has done. And being resented by a great wizard who likes to lurk in the material world and knows his roots more than death in the material world will make it more unsettling.

If he can get Ivas to target Wolfram, then even if he dies once, it won't be a big problem.

He can die, but Wolfram must die with him!

So thinking of this, the Demon Punishment continued to increase his weight and tried to shout for Wolframla's hatred: "His purpose is to seize the [Book of Law] in your hand!" He will definitely kill you and avenge me! ”

"Alright, stop screaming. He's dying faster than you...... At least for this first life, he died much faster than you. ”

Ivus scoffed and shook off the tarot cards.

"-What do you think I just did with Sherlock?"
