Chapter 938: Chapter 305: Shattered Impure Flesh

Before Christina left, Aleister considerately had the Mirror Demon find her several sets of new clothes and even so jewelry.

These would co in handy when she transferred to the Spirit Summoning Tower.

This is like inviting to feast on at, and you get to share in the soup—Aleister, feeling too lazy to rummage through the treasure chest himself, had the Mirror Demon carry all the valuables for him.

“…What if soone discovers the Earl has been murdered and his possessions stolen… and the clothes I’m wearing just happen to match up, ntor?”

At that mont, Christina asked Aleister, concerned.

Aleister casually provided the answer: “Don’t worry, no one will find out.”

...

Although Christina still didn’t understand Aleister’s logic, she chose to trust him.

After all, Aleister had saved her when she was already dead. Strictly speaking, her life belonged to Aleister.

…At worst, she could just hide these things away and not wear them outside.

Aleister and the others were directly teleported back to Prince Xiyaldo’s residence by the Mirror Demon.

Previously, Prince Xiyaldo had allocated two guest rooms to Aleister. Selene was asleep, snoring loudly in her room—a drowsiness belonging to the animalistic instincts of the Path of Love.

But either because the Son of the Moon was special, or Aleister herself was special… her sleepiness was not apparent. Lady Honey Badger, a higher being on the Path of Adaptation, was also more suited to nocturnal activity. Their routines matched well, so they stayed in another guest room together. Of course, according to Lady Honey Badger’s words at the ti, this was to “closely protect Aleister to prevent her from sneaking away.”

At that ti, she was still unaware that Aleister was Aiwass, so such concerns were normal.

After all, Aleister seed like a bad woman with her own sches. If the mission entrusted to her by the Pope were to fail because of this, it would an she was far from ticulous in her duties.

However, now there’s no longer any need for close surveillance…

For this reason, Lady Honey Badger also tactfully chose to leave.

“You should just go and rest,” Aleister said offhandedly, “With the Mirror Demon here, there’s no need for you to lead the way anymore. I can teleport directly.”

“…Yes.”

Lady Honey Badger responded with a sowhat complex expression.

She suddenly felt she understood the feelings of the crow on Aleister’s shoulder.

After Lady Honey Badger went to rest, Aleister planned to go through a round of treasure chests before continuing with work.

It’s just unfortunate… Count Dorn’s usual residence was not here.

Perhaps because he wanted to hold a large ritual, in order to eliminate distractions, the house didn’t have many transcendent artifacts, but rather more ritual materials that Aleister had no use for and couldn’t take with her. The Mirror Demon also couldn’t reach things that were too distant.

However, even so, the Mirror Demon still helped Aleister find sothing valuable.

—It was a piece of flesh, placed inside a Crystal Ball using a special technique.

It looked like a piece of liver, but it pulsated faintly like a heart. Many tiny, blood-vessel-like black fleshes extended from inside, spreading to the surface of the Crystal Ball.

“This is…”

Aleister focused intently on the item, her brow slightly furrowed.

He gently touched it but, unexpectedly, no system panel popped up.

…How exactly was this thing identified?

Aleister frowned slightly, a faint doubt arising in her mind.

However, even without a system’s identification, Aleister could intuit that… this must be a good thing.

Because the mont Aleister touched it, her originally green pupils were suddenly lit up in a crimson red.

This indicated that it might be related to the Son of the Moon… or at least, it possessed a significant degree of adaptability to the Path of Love, enough to be used as a pivotal point for rituals related to the Path of Love.

“I rember you ntioned…”

Aleister pondered, “The Red Chancellor wanted to lay his hands on him, right, Mirror Demon?”

“——Yes, my lord.”

Behind Aleister, the exquisite gold-frad vanity mirror was now steaming with ominous black smoke.

It had already sensed that the bishop had entered Count Dorn’s villa—even went the extra mile to open the door for him, and then returned.

“Do you think there’s a possibility… The Red Chancellor moved against him for this thing?”

Aleister inquired, “What do you think, is it possible?”

——You’re asking ? How would I know?

The Mirror Demon thought to itself.

But it still maintained a respectful and serious deanor, and after careful thought, answered, “We cannot exclude this possibility. Because my forr master conducted the most recent ritual shortly after obtaining this item.

“If we say that the Red Chancellor opposed him in order to obtain this, it makes sense.”

“When exactly did he co into possession of this crystal ball?”

“The latter half of December.”

The Mirror Demon replied without hesitation: “About a week before the New Year.”

A quick calculation would reveal that this was shortly after Aiwass obtained the Book of Law and left Eagle Cape Village.

And now it’s not even mid-March.

aning, Count Dorn took only about three months to kill at least more than twenty young won. Considering he needed so ti to conceive the ritual, the actual ti he spent must be significantly less. He still needed Christina to broker for him, which indicates the number of victims he needed was far from complete…

“…Indeed, Sherlock was right. There’s not a single good thing about Demon Scholars.”

Aleister voiced her heartfelt sigh.

And what about herself?

——Miss Aleister is now a Great Sin Scholar, what does it have to do with ?

Ultimately, Aleister set aside the inscrutable crystal ball for now, arranged a simple sealing ritual and covered it.

The sky was already slightly bright, and although Prince Xiyaldo had been busy in the earlier part of the night, he had long since fallen asleep. The region of Leipzig was filled with weirdness and demons… With the deterrent of Count Leipzig and the protection of the Astrologer’s prophecy.

If there were an enemy who dared to defy Count Leipzig’s “rules” and could bypass the Fourth Level’s prophecy to directly threaten him, then he was not soone he could contend with anyway.

It was like living in a high-rise building on an earthquake zone… Running was useless, as you can’t outrun it anyway.

Aleister’s gaze was cast down, inexplicably sad.

…Whenever Aiwass suddenly thought of earthquakes, he would beco montarily distracted. The current Aleister felt the sa. Despite the blur and fragntation of mories from the past life, the experiences were still etched deeply in her heart.

“Indeed, the Hourglass was not cleanly severed… It’s not just Aiwass who is sick.”

Realizing from where the remnants of Dedication deep within her heart originated, Aleister breathed a sigh of relief, feeling surprisingly lightened.

Those also belonged to the true underlying tone of Aiwass’s personality, an aspect of her she could not forget.

At that mont, news arrived from the other side concerning Aiwass. The work with the bishop was complete…which ant, Earl’s soul had been sent to the Dream Realm.

“If all goes as expected, his soul will probably turn into a Demon as well.”

Aleister looked towards the Mirror Demon, and spoke with profound aning, “Although I have sealed the Demon of Winter… the remaining parts, relying solely on his own sins, should also beco an Upper-Level Demon of a not so low Energy Level.

“For the sake of your safety—your contract should be ready, right? Let’s sign it.”
