Seeing how Shi Dong had cut the corpse into pieces and tossed them into the cocoon of light, the two girls finally understood why their elder sister had stopped them from touching the cocoon of light. The pieces of the corpse didn't seem to have been tossed into the cocoon of light. Instead, a mouthpart extended from the cocoon of light and swallowed the pieces of flesh in midair.
If they had foolishly walked forward … Both Halloumi and Kaya shuddered at the thought.
At the same time, Fen glanced back thoughtfully at the other abyssal lords who had already stepped forward or were hiding in the shadows. It would have been better if she hadn't turned around, but the moment she did, the demons scattered like birds and beasts without any of the pride that abyssal lords should have.
In truth, no one would want to die a worthless death, not even demons. But against a Lich who was proficient in magic, especially the Lich before them, all the lords who had fought him before had no temper at all.
Now, that person hadn't even personally made a move, and one of his underlings had used a weapon from who knows where to slay a great lord who specialized in defense so easily. He had even pointed out that he would be the dessert of that person's transformation. How could the demons tolerate this?!
But under the premise that they couldn't win, running seemed to be their only choice. As for joining forces with all the other abyssal lords and encircling the Lich … the demons didn't even think about it.
Even that human wasn't their target, so it was even more impossible for the Lich to become their target. And the reason was the same. Compared to outsiders, their enmity with each other ran deeper. Outsiders weren't a threat no matter what, but other great lords were eyeing them covetously.
Disregarding everything else, if those few returned home to be resurrected, their forces would shrink significantly by the time they fully recovered. If they were even more unlucky, it wouldn't matter if their nest was destroyed, but their lifeline would also be in the hands of others. Then, they would never be able to rise again.
Seeing that all the demons had simply left, Fen cursed under her breath, "Still the same damn appearance." She then ignored the abyssal creatures. In her eyes, the most important thing was the cocoon of light in front of her, or rather, the man in the cocoon of light.
The two girls who were equally worried asked after a moment of silence when there were no other demons to disturb them, "Big Sister, is there a way to save Teacher?"
"Save them? Why? "It was rare for Fen to avert her gaze and look at the two girls with worried expressions.
"Teacher is transforming into a demon, right?" Hallumi asked uncertainly.
"I think so," Fen replied with uncertainty.
Hallumi asked in a pleading voice, "Can't we stop this?"
"Why would you stop it?" Fen asked in confusion.
"Are we just going to watch Teacher turn into a devil?" The girl's voice was choked up.
"What's the difference in becoming a demon? Or, what kind of bad things do you think that man will do after he becomes a demon? "
"Okay." The two girls tilted their heads and considered seriously, "Sleeping in every day until the sun is high up in the sky." "Not tidying up after eating and waiting for others to cook." "Picking their noses and feet at the dining table." "Messing up the room and smelling weird. Only then would they ask someone to tidy it up." "That's right. Usually, he will be scolded when he goes in. "" And … "
"Stop, stop, stop." Fen quickly stopped the two girls from letting their imagination run wild. "Since you can think of all the bad things he will do, then let me ask you. Then let me ask you, what's the difference between him now and the past? "
"Eh, it's true. Does that mean that Teacher was originally a demon? "The blonde girl with a strange mind came to a strange conclusion.
Fen did not want to correct her. Instead, she said, "What I want to say is that a person's mindset determines the height he can reach in the end. You know your teacher's personality very well. Whether he becomes a god or a demon, do you think he will change, or do you think he will do anything big? "
The two girls looked at each other and said in unison, "Hmm, I think so. Really, no."
"Right, right. So don't worry about that. Besides, it's not certain if your teacher will really turn into a demon. It's too early to worry about that. "
"Not really turn into a demon? What do you mean? "Halloumi asked, puzzled.
Fen scratched her head, organized her words, and said, "Your teacher has a very bad personality. He usually doesn't follow the arrangements that others make for him. Just like when he left the Tower of the Great Sage, he didn't want to live a comfortable life in Wulian City. Instead, he set up an academy that exhausts him to death and can't get any benefits. When others proposed to spend a lot of money to buy out the rights of browser magic in the Society of Sorcerers, he simply set up a fund in the name of it. In fact, it was no different from opening the use of browser magic to the whole world. When someone proposed to give him power and status, he refused without hesitation and ran to an academy to be an ordinary lecturer. Then, he started doing all sorts of things, like printing machines, cars, and so on. If there was a ranking for disobedience and not doing proper work, your teacher would at least be second place, if not first place. So let me ask you, when the Abyss tries to turn your teacher into a demon, how likely is it that he will obediently turn into a demon and not turn himself into something else? "
"Well, that's indeed the case." "Then what will our teacher turn into?" The girl asked innocently.
Fen chuckled in annoyance at the unanswered question. "How would I know about such a thing? There's only one thing for sure. No matter what he turns into, your teacher will still be your teacher. No matter how that guy changes on the outside, he'll still be the same on the inside. There won't be any big changes. "
"So, we don't have to worry?"
Facing the naive question, Fen didn't know how to answer this time. After a long time, she said, "Maybe we still have to worry. Right now, I'm just worried about how long that guy will stay in there. Don't tell me I'm going to be his substitute for math class again? Another thing I'm worried about is that if he uses this opportunity to turn himself into a monster, how will I adapt to his life? Although I really want him to live longer, the lifespan of a human is too short. If he dies, I can't imagine how boring my life will be. But if he turns into a monster, I really can't accept it. "
The last sentence was supposed to be a very emotional confession. But from the Lich's tone and the man's personality, no matter how one listened to it, it felt like there were more teasing than affection.
The two sensitive girls muttered something that no one else could understand and asked, "Sister, you said that our teacher might turn himself into a monster, what kind of monster is that?"
"… A tentacle monster. Don't ask me how I know, I don't want to tell you. "Lich's dead fish eyes drifted into the distance.
