Just as Sabelle received the power, he seemed to hear Sharp-Toothed Sunflower murmuring in his ear, "This is power. Do you feel it? Do you want to gain more power? Then release it. Release it … "
Sabelle's words stunned Collars. "In other words, the Sharp-Toothed Sunflower is tempting you to release more power?"
Saber nodded.
Since he sensed the sunflower's consciousness, he tightened the channel of his power to prevent himself from falling into the sunflower's trap.
When Sabelle retracted his power, his eyes returned to their normal state of black and white. At the same time, he did not hear the sunflower's voice again.
Clearly, the sunflower's consciousness was only able to break the seal when Saber released his power.
"I understand. I'll make a note of it." Krelles and the other researchers also got up from the ground, patted the dust off their bodies, and left the observation room.
Outside the room, Freud spoke in a soft voice, "Just like Cell, the sinful fiend is being suppressed. However, it knows that as long as the Demon Hunter releases more power, the seal will loosen, and it will eventually take over the Demon Hunter's body. So when Saber released his power, the sinful fiend immediately tried to tempt him. "
Angor shook his head. "If Saber Sunflower had a clear consciousness, it should have shown its intelligence in the previous tests. But it didn't. This means the sunflower didn't have such a strong consciousness before entering Saber's body. The voice Saber heard was just the sunflower using Saber's consciousness to think. "
"The sinful fiend is using a human's consciousness to think?" The researchers who overheard their conversation were shocked.
Angor nodded. He already had such a theory when he saw Cell's condition. Now, it seemed to be very likely.
"That's what the sinful fiend does when it first enters Saber's body. I believe the sinful fiend's mind will evolve on its own. When that happens, it won't even need Saber's consciousness to think on its own. "
Angor's words were like a warning bell that rang in everyone's ears.
It was already hard enough to deal with a mindless sinful fiend. If Angor was right and the creature could learn and evolve, it would be even more terrifying.
"As long as Saber Knight doesn't succumb to temptation and stays true to his heart, it will still be under our control even if it evolves into a logical consciousness." Freud tried to comfort the others.
Everyone was silent. They understood Freud's words, but they also understood the importance of the Demon Hunters.
The Demon Hunters carried hope and despair at the same time.
They were the frontline of the defense of their homeland, but they could also become the bottom line of the destruction of their homeland.
The relationship between the Demon Hunters and Sin Demons would determine the future.
"Next, let's test Knight Saber's strength."
Freud nodded in agreement. "His improvement is obvious to all. However, if you want to turn it into actual combat power, you still need further training. "
Freud turned to Torras. "From today onwards, you'll be accompanying Sabelle in her training."
In the past, he would've been more than happy to duel Sabelle and avenge his humiliation. But now, Sabelle had become a Demon Hunter and was much stronger than before. Actually, Torras was only going to be Sabelle's sparring partner or even a punching bag.
But since it was Freud's order, Torras couldn't disobey. He looked at Angor for help. "I'm sure I can't beat that old bastard. How about I fuse with a sinful demon too?"
Torras looked at Angor expectantly. He really wanted to try fusing with a sinful demon.
"No." Angor shook his head.
Torras was still a soul in the real world, so he wasn't really a resident of the Dream Realm. Angor wouldn't let Torras take the risk before conducting a systematic study.
"No way. I can't beat him, and I'm not going to torture myself." Torras couldn't help but protest.
"It's just an auxiliary training. I'm sure Knight Sabelle knows what he's doing."
Torras couldn't fuse with a sinful demon, and he didn't dare to refuse Freud's order either. He was destined to be a punching bag for some time.
…
Sabelle used to be the leader of the Sinful Hunters. Now that he was a Demon Hunter, it suited him better. However, due to the importance, danger, and uncertainty of a Demon Hunter, no one dared to attempt a second Sinful Demon fusion right away.
The researchers agreed that they should first collect the information about the Demon Hunters and Sinful Demons from Knight Sabelle. After that, they would slowly expand the number of Demon Hunters.
Apart from getting used to his new strength, Sabelle also had to undergo several rounds of psychological intervention every day, just in case he was tempted by the Sinful Demon.
Since Angor no longer needed to deal with the Sinful Fiend, he once again returned to the real world without doing anything.
However, he didn't completely let go of his job.
Sealing a sinful demon into one's body was considered a unique power system in the dream wasteland. Every day, Angor and Sunders would discuss how to build another power system in the dream wasteland.
They also wanted to know if they could bear the unknown authority of the new power system. After all, Freud failed when he tried to carry out the change in the weather.
In order to prevent the power from leaking out, they had to make sure everything was safe.
According to Sunders' own calculations, he should be able to create a new power system based on primal mana.
However, this was only his own idea. Who knew what the unknown Authority that constructed the power system would be like?
For example, Sunders thought it was just a small power that could change the weather. However, it also involved the laws of nature, seasons, wind, thunder, rain, and other elements.
There were still many factors to consider.
Time flowed by, and another day passed. Angor was still in his study, trying to figure out the upper limit of the new power system.
Someone knocked on his door while he was lost in his thoughts.
When he opened the door, he saw Butler Number One knocking on his door.
"Mister Padt, someone's looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Angor frowned and released his spirit feelers outside the manor. When he saw who it was, he understood what was going on.
A moment later, Angor arrived at the main hall.
Angor glanced at Greya who was sitting across from him. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm from Candy House, so I'm here to show some concern," Greya replied while stuffing some unknown food into her mouth.
Angor didn't know what to say. I don't think you're here because you want to hear some gossip.
Greya wasn't the only one who came. Shalee was behind her as well. Thank goodness Azaz wasn't here.
Angor sighed in his mind and ignored Greya. Instead, he looked at the man in question.
"Did you find anything during your trip to Palladowa?"
It was Alan. Three days ago, Alan went to Palladowa alone after learning that Aleen might be looking for the Sea Night Dew. He didn't hear anything from Alan.
Angor assumed that Alan was here for Aleen, which was why he decided to ask Angor directly.
Alan shook his head and nodded. "I did find some clues about my sister in Palladowa. But I lost them again …"
Alan explained everything to Angor.
After arriving at Palladowa, Angor immediately went to the shops that sold Stone Paste Powder and asked them one by one. There was only one shop in the whole of Palladova that sold Sea Night Dew. When he went to the shop to look for it, the clerk didn't hide anything and directly told him that Irene had indeed come to buy Sea Night Dew a month ago.
However, Aleen left after buying the Sea Night Dew.
Since the shop assistant didn't lie, Alan had to leave the shop and see if he could find Aleen anywhere else.
It took Alan two days to find Aleen, including using the government's resources, and he finally found another clue.
It was a young man who gave him the clue.
After arriving at Palladowa, Aleen found a tour guide and asked him to take her to a Stone Paste Powder shop. And the tour guide was the young man.
According to the young man, Aleen didn't leave immediately after buying the Sea Night Dew. Instead, she asked him to show her around Palladowa to see some interesting sights and shops.
The young man tried his best to earn more money. He spent the whole day wandering around with Irene.
In the end, they stopped near Desolation City.
The young man didn't want to go to Desolation City because it was full of wanderers who often committed crimes. Besides, he was born in Desolation City and had enemies with some of the people there. He didn't want to be targeted. Even if they didn't do anything right now, they might do it later.
The young man told Aleen not to go to Desolation City, but Aleen seemed to be very interested in the place. She asked the young man to wait for her outside while she went inside.
"After that, Aleen went missing. Aleen didn't pay the young man a tour guide fee, so he waited for two days before leaving. He was sure that Aleen didn't come out after entering Desolation City. " Alan paused for a moment before continuing, "So, I judged that Desolate City was most likely the place where Eirinn went missing."
At this point, Allen stopped.
Angor pondered. As far as he knew, Aleen wouldn't stand the young man up for some mortal coins.
Something must have happened to Aleen, and she couldn't pay the young man a tour guide fee.
He thought Aleen went missing on her way here. But now, it sounded like she went missing in that so-called Desolation City.
"What's this Desolation City?" He still didn't know where it was.
