The dazzling aurora slashed across the night sky, hitting the Demon People directly on the shoulder.
The Demon People howled in agony, collapsing to the ground, blood pouring from the wound.
"Mr. Randall!"
The Knights exclaid excitedly from a distance.
They had not expected the Demon Hunter to arrive so swiftly.
A trader, lantern in hand, strode forward.
[You didn’t miss your target, you only intended to subdue the Demon People, not kill them. You had many questions for it.]
[This Demon People was taller than the one in the forest, standing at two ters tall.]
[You believed the Demon People were rational, and you wanted to talk with it.]
[But before you could speak.]
[The Demon People growled angrily and pounced at you.]
[Not wanting to show your full strength in front of the Knights, to keep a low profile and not alert the Huo Ning Empire, you began using a type of Magic you weren’t adept at, aiming to protect the Knights while capturing the Demon People.]
Lanci dodged and various Rock Cones pierced the ground intersecting each other directly at the Demon People.
The Demon People scread in severe pain, its red eyes burning with rage as it charged at Lanci again.
In that lightning-fast mont, golden chains burst from an Array at Lanci’s feet, swiftly binding the Demon People’s limbs and torso.
The Demon People was securely bound, unable to move.
Lanci advanced steadily, ready to deliver the final blow to the Demon People.
"Roar!!!"
Unexpectedly, the Demon People suddenly opened its enormous mouth, spitting a sticky, foul-slling Poison at Lanci.
Lanci couldn’t dodge in ti, his left arm solidly hit.
Taking advantage of Lanci’s mont of pain, the Demon People broke free from its bindings and quickly fled into the forest.
"Mr. Randall, are you alright?"
Several Knights imdiately approached with concern.
"It doesn’t matter."
[You were actually pretending, because this Demon People couldn’t possibly harm you.]
[If you were to capture it in front of the Knights, you would have had to hand it over to the Knights and the city-state authorities. So matters are not convenient for private investigation, so you intentionally let it escape, but you have already tracked it and will capture it alone.]
[You tell the Knights not to wander off, you’ll be back shortly.]
The night deepened, Lanci moved through the forest, searching for traces of the Demon People.
He started personally experiencing this Phantasmagoria once again.
Along the way, intermittent blood stains and claw marks led him in relentless pursuit.
Finally.
In a hidden jungle basin,
He saw the dying Demon People, and a small Demon People nestled beside it.
The big Demon People bore the wounds inflicted by Lanci.
The small Demon People nuzzled the big one’s chin with its head, intermittently making a laughing sound, which seed like laughing but was actually crying, as if begging it not to leave.
Lanci’s steps halted.
This relationship left him dizzy.
"It’s not right, how co these Demon People look... like a mother and child?"
Talia had also sowhat understood the true intentions of the Demon People.
They seed uncontrollably mad, but still retained human emotions.
Like an innocent ordinary mother and child, forcibly turned into such monsters.
"Demon People were originally transford from humans through surgical changes..."
Lanci murmured, covering his forehead.
Just then, rustling sounds ca from behind.
"..."
Lanci turned around and saw several trembling Knights stepping out from behind the bushes.
They seed uneasy staying in the original place, so they followed Mr. Randall.
"Mr. Randall, please wait a mont!"
The leading Knight said bravely,
"This Demon People, it seems different..."
He looked troubled.
"What?"
Lanci frowned and asked.
"I noticed, it seems to understand human language, and..."
The leading Knight’s gaze shifted to the small Demon People,
"Maybe they don’t want to harm anyone, and are just foraging in this forest. Perhaps we can try communicating with them?"
He said hesitantly.
[Clearly, so Knights realized the sa issue as you.]
[In letting go of the Demon People, the Knights saw more.]
[Things were getting complicated.]
While Lanci and the Knights were talking, the mother Demon People lying on the ground suddenly moved.
Experience tales at .Côm
It struggled to raise its head, looking in Lanci’s direction.
In those dying eyes, there was a flicker of unusual brilliance.
As if it was pleading him for sothing.
Lanci was stunned.
In the next second, he fiercely pointed, and a strong gust of wind knocked the Knights to the ground.
Imdiately afterward, a dazzling fire erupted from the forest floor, instantly engulfing the Demon People and its child.
The flas licked, and ashes floated.
In an instant, the basin fell silent.
The Knights were dumbfounded, unable to speak.
"You guys shouldn’t risk your lives."
Lanci’s expression darkened by the shadows, he picked up his suitcase and walked away without looking back.
The night sky was vast, the bright moonlight spilled like water over the tiles of Viok City.
Everything returned to calm.
As if this night was just a fleeting nightmare.
"Lanci, why did you have to kill them?"
Talia asked Lanci, puzzled.
It was her first ti seeing Lanci so ruthless.
Since the Mirror of Tiberius wholly entrusted the Phantasmagoria experience to Lanci, it indicated that in this part of the Phantasmagoria, no matter what choice was made, it wouldn’t affect the following simulation, or rather, upon seeing the Demon People mother and child, there was no need for conversation or interrogation, the truth had already surfaced.
"She was seeking liberation... The mother’s instinct wanted to protect her child, and the human will sought death."
