Chương 134: Frillie Remembers a Year Ago

Chapter 134 Frillie Remembers a Thousand Years Ago In the corridor.

Frillie walked along, carrying a plate of crystal pudding with a delighted expression.

There was a special flavor of crystal pudding at the banquet that was so delicious that she ate three plates and still wasn't satisfied. After the guests left, she went to the kitchen and asked for another plate.

"If you don't eat to your heart's content with this delicious food, you won't be able to enjoy it again next time."

After all, human lifespan is really short.

Just then, he bumped into Philon.

The little girl limped along in pain, her face looking rather pale.

Frillie asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Philon puffed out her cheeks and glanced angrily at the half-closed banquet hall door behind her.

"Go ask Mr. Shane."

After saying that, he walked away with a limp, without looking back.

Frillie, looking puzzled, returned to the banquet hall with the crystal pudding in her hand.

At this moment, only Shane remained in the hall.

Frillie saw him squatting in the middle of the hall, staring blankly at the air in front of him.

"What did you do to Philon?"

"Nothing much, I just taught her a little knowledge."

(Three people ≡) What kind of knowledge could lead to a tumor and a limp?

Frillie remained silent but did not press the matter further.

She squatted down next to Xia En, holding the plate, and popped a piece of pudding into her mouth, asking indistinctly, "What are you doing squatting here?"

Xia En glanced at the pudding in her hand.

Are you sure you want to listen?

"Um."

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"Too verbose."

"All right----" Whoosh— A thick, pungent smell of blood wafted over.

Frillie froze as she chewed the pudding.

Before her, in mid-air, a stream of viscous, dark red blood suddenly flowed down, carrying a strong fishy smell and a stench unique to demons.

Shane instinctively took an empty plate from the table next to him and held it up to Frilian's chin. Frilian looked at him.

The look in his eyes that seemed to want to kill was not exactly the same as the one Philon had just given him; it was exactly the same.

Xia En smiled.

"You said you absolutely had to listen."

Frillie forced herself to swallow the pudding in her mouth, suppressing her nausea.

Then, after glancing at what was left on the plate, without the slightest hesitation, he placed the entire plate, pudding, into Shane's hands.

"What's going on?"

Xia En briefly explained the cause and effect.

He then elaborated on why he used the "Goddess's Barrier" to trap the other party.

"When I saw the remaining bloodstains at the entrance of [Wilt], I was puzzled. Why would a demon leave behind blood when it dies—" As he spoke, he pointed to the blood that had just flowed out of the [Barrier Sphere] on the floor.

"This time too."

Frillie looked at the blood on the floor.

Just as Shane said, the demons did not disappear into magical particles after they died; just like human blood, their blood was preserved normally.

That's not right.

The demons wouldn't do that.

"And there's something even stranger—well, you'd better prepare some [binding magic]."

Upon hearing this, Frilian summoned her staff.

Xia En paused for a moment, then controlled the [Barrier Sphere] to open an even larger breach.

Whoosh— All the blood flowed out.

Along with the blood, a strange leech-like worm also appeared.

The moment the insect broke free of the [barrier sphere], it tried to escape.

Frillie reacted very quickly, immediately casting [Binding Magic], a golden chain instantly binding the insect and firmly controlling it.

The insect twisted and struggled, its mouthparts emitting a silent hiss.

"What that demon said also bothered me a lot. He didn't have demon horns, but he was a true demon—" Listening to Shane's words and looking at the struggling insects in front of her, Frillie's expression gradually became serious.

She recalled her travels with Vlamé.

"A thousand years ago, in a cave somewhere on the northern plateau, I saw this insect and the demons who controlled it."

"That wasn't a pleasant memory at all—" At that time, Frilian and Vlame were asked by the villagers to search for a missing child, and they found the last traces left by the child in a cave.

But there were no children in the cave, only a crazed demon shouting, "I did it! I did it!"

In front of the demon was a silver plate stained with blood.

The plate contained these twisted and bizarre insects.

As Frilian continued her story, Shane's expression grew serious.

"You mean, these insects are a product of something called [Blood Magic]?"

Frillie nodded.

"This magic can control the [blood-sucking worms] to drain the target's blood. Through certain magical incantations, the worms can be transformed into the target's appearance in life, becoming a [blood puppet]."

"The Blood Puppet is in perfect harmony with its magical master, allowing for complete control even from a great distance. Furthermore, because it is disguised using human blood, it is virtually undetectable by human magic."

Xia En frowned.

"Sounds like she'd be perfect as a spy."

"This is a demonic magic that has been passed down since ancient times. Although it can play a great role in war, unfortunately, like many ancient human magics, it has been lost. This ancient demonic magic has also disappeared."

"The time I discovered it more than a thousand years ago was when the demons tried to restore this magic, but unfortunately, they failed. That insect only completed the first step of [blood-drinking], and died while trying to [disguise itself as human], the second step."

Frillie picked up the insect, spun it around in front of her eyes, and examined it closely.

"Unexpectedly, a thousand years later, someone from the demon race has actually recreated this magic."

However, Xia En had a different guess about this.

When Kraft was first encountered in the Swirl Mountains, he mentioned that two hundred years ago, there was someone who could perfectly conceal their demonic horns. If the person Kraft spoke of was also a blood fluke in disguise—

"Frilian, it's probably not just a simple reproduction."

In Xia En's mind, he couldn't help but recall the hundreds and thousands of headless puppets he had encountered during the battle against [Guillotine Aura].

If the opponent can create two Blood Golems.

That would necessarily mean they could produce two hundred, two thousand — Frillie met his gaze and immediately understood what he meant.

A pale blue spell enveloped the [Vampire Worm], and then a white magical energy was extracted from the worm and landed in Frilian's hand.

Ultimately, it successfully transformed into a spell similar to a magic compass.

It is [Tracking Magic].

A small, blood-red dot appeared in the northwest of the compass.

"Found it."
