Chapter 162: Chapter 162 – Shadow

Among the creatures the dark elf does not wish to encounter the most in the demon realm, this chief sentinel was most likely among the top of the list…

The relationship between them couldn't be considered as good. But, it was not so bad that she would pull a sword on her the moment they met.

But, the next moment, the dark elf could hear the sound of something slicing through air… something extremely sharp was charging toward her from behind.

“Dodge.”

Cecily gave an order with an ice-cold tone. The dark elf immediately backed to the wall. At the same time, she turned around to look behind her.

It was… a water elemental servant. But, that water elemental servant was different from the female-shaped water elemental servants commonly seen around the castle. The outward appearance of this water elemental servant was distorting. Strange changes appeared on its face and body.

Cecily waved the sword in her hand. Magic power too fast for the naked eye ripped through the bricks on the ground and swallowed the distorted water elemental servant whole.

If it wasn't for Cecily's warning, the dark elf's body would've been struck by the arrow sent out by that distorted water elemental servant.

Sure enough… was she living too comfortably in Norland?

Back when she was being pursued by the Heresy Tribunal, the tiniest movement of the wind around her would warn her of changes to her surroundings.

But, during the recent days, she ended up relaxing her guard. This was especially true after she accepted the mission to monitor that Chaos Demon called Joshua…

Cecily's sword disappeared into thin air. She turned her eyes back to the dark elf still holding a fruit juice in her hand.

The pupils of this chief sentinel were red like the flames. But, the dark elf could only feel an endless amount of coldness from those eyes. There was no trace of emotion in them at all.

......

Cecily spent a couple seconds to size up the dark elf.

In the end, this chief sentinel spoke words that were more dangerous and malicious than any curse to a woman.

“You've gotten fat,” said Cecily.

“Are you trying to tell me to relax my guard, Lady Cecily?”

The dark elf narrowed her brows upon hearing those words. She admits that she was extremely relaxed when working to monitor the third prince. It was so relaxing that it felt like she was on vacation all the time.

She would at times participate in the nobles' meetings and eat whatever she wanted. Most importantly, she could watch movies too…

But, at the very least, she managed to eliminate three inquisitors on her mission. She had betted her life on that battle!

“No. You're more spirited than when I first met you. When you first came to the demon realm, half your body was ice-cold. I never expected for you to be able to survive.”

Even though Cecily's voice was extremely cold, what she said was not completely devoid of warmth.

“The me from the past has already died.”

The dark elf pointed to the black dove imprint on her neck. If it wasn't for the power of the fourth princess, she might've already died at the border of the Nation of Frost from the pursuit of the Heresy Tribunal.

While the dark elf was chatting with Cecily, she could hear the sound of something wiggling. She turned around to look at the ground destroyed by Cecily's magic power. A paste-like water elemental was squirming in that deep crater on the ground.

The surface color of that water elemental was completely different from the azure color of the other water elementals.

Cecily extended her hand and made a grabbing motion. The squirming water elemental was ripped to shreds by an invisible power. In the end, it disappeared into nothingness.

“What's with that water elemental servant?”

Even though the dark elf has only been employed by the demon realm's master for several years, she had never seen a water elemental becoming like that.

“I don't know. It's my first time seeing it too… It's very possible that it's caused by some sort of influence from the Bottom of the Abyss.”

Cecily stared at the gray mist that dissipated into thin air. Her expression was grave. But, she turned her eyes back to look at the dark elf.

“I remember that the mission my father gave you was to monitor my younger brother. Did you not bring him back to the demon realm?”

“I do not possess the authority to do so. Nor do I possess the capability.”

Apart from being the fourth princess's servant, the dark elf was also a spy between the human realm and the demon realm.

There were a lot of other spies like her. They were all servants of the demon realm's ruler. The dark elf was charged with monitoring Norland. Monitoring Joshua was only one of her many missions there.

But, even if the demon realm's ruler was to order her to bring Joshua back, she would not be able to do anything if he's unwilling to return with her.

“Is that so? You can go.”

Cecily did not intend to continue to question the dark elf. She indicated to her that she could leave now.

After the dark elf walked far away, Cecily gently rubbed her forehead to bring relief to her headache.

This headache appeared several days ago. Cecily had enquired many of the renowned doctors in the Royal City. Unfortunately, they were unable to find a cure to her headache.

It was not only her. The other Chaos Demons that knew were also suffering from the same sort of headache. Merely, the frequency of their headaches were not as often and their headaches would only last for a few seconds. Because of that, it was very easy for them to ignore it.

Cecily had thought that her headache was caused by weariness. But, the water elemental she killed earlier warned her that was not the case.

But, compared to her headache, Cecily was more concerned with Joshua who ran to the human realm.

Cecily has always viewed Joshua as being 'unstable.' She has interacted with Joshua for all these years but has never been able to understand what her younger brother was thinking.

Joshua's decision to renounce the fight for the throne had, honestly, allowed Cecily to feel a bit relieved. She truly does not wish to one day become enemies with Joshua.

But, what Joshua decided to do after still brought her too much unease. That was especially true after he formed an oath with one of the demon realm's four dukes, the Duke of Bones.

That said, what brought her the most worry was how he was staying in a human city.

The Holy Church would not allow a Chaos Demon to wander around in a human city. Even if the Holy Church doesn't do anything, the other humans wouldn't be able to accept a Chaos Demon among them either.

As long as Joshua remains in a human city, he would always be under the threat of the Holy Church.

Her uneasy and misgivings ended up causing Cecily to act. She took out a thin glass bottle. Scarlet liquid filled the bottle.

As if they smelled the liquid, a large amount of bats appeared behind Cecily. In a short few seconds, the bats transformed into a masked sentinel. The sentinel stood behind Cecily.

“Find the master of this bottle of blood in the human city Norland.”

Cecily handed her glass bottle to the sentinel behind her and ordered with an irrefutable tone.

“Then, bring him back.”
