Chapter 484: Chapter 380: The Precursor to Shadow Demon’s Evolution_2 Chapter 484: Chapter 380: The Precursor to Shadow Demon’s Evolution_2 Ligeia calmly said, “The problem now is that I also don’t know what else besides a lifespan could put pressure on me to face death...

I can’t possibly go trouble the Eternal Pope.

If push comes to shove, I’ll just set sail and look for a dragon.”

“Anyway, it’s already great to be healthy and live this long.

As long as I can find a way to Shed Skin once more, I can live another year.

That’s pure profit.”

Her words were so domineering.

They even comforted Aiwass in return.

This was probably the troublesome part about Ligeia’s job change to an Ascension Sorcerer.

...

Now that the “Transcendence” Path hadn’t been modified to the “Evolution” Path, Ascension Sorcerers still had to comply with the rules of the Transcendence Path—that is, facing formidable enemies.

Only in doing so could they extinguish the restless Transcendence flame in their hearts.

It was precisely for this reason that Aiwass recommended David to perform the job change before the fourth Energy Level.

When one is weak enough, almost any change can be considered evolution.

This is called “you still have much room for improvement.”

“Three to six months...@@@@

maybe half a year,”

Aiwass pondered, “Then don’t rush.

Perhaps there will be another way by then.”

“I knew you had lots of tricks up your sleeve.”

Ligeia was not in the least bit flustered, clearly she knew Aiwass had a solution.

He was so miraculous, able to rejuvenate himself, to gain Sofia’s acknowledgment, to drag Avalon back to life...

Now if Aiwass dared to say it, she dared to believe it.

“How are things going with the Minister of the Navy?”

Aiwass asked casually, “What has he given away?”

“He’s told all he could, basically without any resistance.

Clearly, he has understood the situation and wants to strive for leniency,”

Ligeia scoffed, “Don’t be fooled by those old men wielding swords and armor so impressively when in reality they are a bunch of cowards who have never fought in bloodshed.

Avalon has been too peaceful for too long...

When the Irisflower People invaded, the navy hardly had any resistance.

They were landed on within less than ten days.”

Finally, unable to hold back her laughter, she said, “Forget it, let me help you dress...

Your clumsy antics are killing me.”

Aiwass didn’t resist anymore but sighed instead.

“...I have no idea why the Gemini Mirror issued such a complex set of clothes.”

Aiwass had tried it already.

Switching to the Son of the Moon meant no change to his clothes; he would wear whatever his main body was wearing.

Transformed into number 14, on the other hand, he would be donned in the white dress he wore when Miss Beyard drained his life.

That was all fine.

But Aiwass was startled upon first transforming into “Beyard’s” guise.

—Because that was an unprecedented “dressed-up” Beyard.

There were not just a dress and a necklace—but an entire set of frighteningly numerous new “accessories,” including gloves, rings, bracelets, hairpins, hats, cloaks, and shawls, heaped up to an “unnaturally looking” extent.

Instead of looking ready for a grand event, it was more akin to a clothes rack.

Even the Shadow Demon itself felt puzzled.

After repeatedly checking, it slowly recalled that these were indeed items it had used before.

Aiwass had to remove the excess jewelry and garments and store them away.

Only then did “Miss Aleister’s” appearance not look too peculiar.

—These items, conjured from nowhere by the Gemini Mirror, were confirmed by Aiwass through a simple ritual to indeed be genuine, not just illusory reflections that could be dispelled.

However, at the same time, they bore no signs of use or wear from the passage of time.

They were as strangely “brand-new antiques.”

This made Aiwass unable to easily sell or give them away.

The greatest significance of keeping these curious antiques seemed to be allowing the Shadow Demon to reminisce its childhood.

However, after receiving Aiwass’s Shepherd’s Nurturing for a few days, the Shadow Demon exhibited some odd behavior.

It had become noticeably less active than before.

Not only did it refrain from seeking out Aiwass or Lily for idle chats, but even when given orders, it wasn’t overly energetic or maniacal.

It even seemed “a bit sleepy.” After the Shadow Demon masqueraded as Aleister, it had no particular opinion on the impersonation, nor did it mind Aiwass using its body and identity.

It was like a cat huddling in bed during winter, which would retract its paw quickly after touching the cold floor, then curl up warmly under the blankets again, hugging its paws.

—The cat withdrew a paw.

Though there was no evidence, Aiwass had an inkling from this abnormal behavior.

This might just be the harbinger of the Shadow Demon’s evolution.
