I Became A Villain In A Novel
Thirty-seven
In the end they just fell silent staring at the black shadow that could speak, while Liona healed Elios who had improved a little.
"Why did he call you?" Luther coldly stared at the squirming black shadow.
"Are humans so stupid? Of course to control his soul and absorb his blood for me to make nutrients."
"You don't seem like a black shadow?" Sean observed and asked with suspicion.
The black shadow seemed nervous, but he continued to squirm even though it was not hot.
"Don't squirm! You're disgusting." Sean ruthlessly let out a pressure of mana, making the black shadow fall silent in fear.
"Don't equate me with a black shadowy fool, I'm Gu." The black shadow proudly introduced himself.
"You're like an insect!"
"Damn it! I'm a Gu worm! I come from ancient China!" Gu explained in a short and annoyed manner.
"ancient china? Where's it? Is there something on this continent called China?" Arthur asked staring enthusiastically at Gu.
"..."
While Liona was surprised, thinking there were beings from the same realm as her, but after thinking she had also met Kuchisake onna, Liona was not too surprised.
Time slowly passed, Elios' health gradually improved, they told him why Elios could be harmed.
As for the Gu worm, Sean gave it to the imperial research agency to find clues.
"So you're saying that the one who sent this favor was Cecilia?" Liona asked after clearly listening to Luther's conclusion.
"That's right, he has a very concentrated negative and black energy, but still the light magic that is so pure and large makes people not believe he is dark mage."
Liona thought she also had pure light magic, it was just a gift and it was balanced within her body.
No longer discussing Cecilia, because dealing with dark mages is quite difficult especially those with light magic, it must be investigated further by the sacred tower, but if the sacred tower is behind it how?
"We just have to watch him, if he does something we'll act, if we don't be observers." Said Elios who is currently powered.

The day of the farewell with Ravnos had arrived, Liona and the others saying goodbye to the emperor, the emperor's gaze was so strange upon seeing him.
"What happened to the emperor?" Liona whispered towards Sean who was standing quietly by her side.
"He just wants to see his son-in-law." Sean said in a teasing tone, Liona just looked at him flatly and no longer cared.
Looking towards Cecilia who currently looked normal, it was just that her face looked more beautiful and her skin was as smooth as porcelain.
Cecilia approached Liona and her friends, greeting teasingly at the indifferent Sean.
"Hi, I'll surprise you guys later, I hope you like." Cecilia whispered with a gentle smile as usual.
If they did not know her true nature that was so absurd, perhaps they would be fascinated and accept Cecilia well, because it was soft and also beautiful.
"Let's go." Shouted Sean.
They left the empire, escorted by great generals and people who thanked them for their volunteers to help their country.
"I'll miss Ravnos." Luther whispered.
They all nodded and left quietly without any hindrance, while in the Black Forest forest it was very calm, even such monsters disappeared just like that, making everyone feel strange.
The journey that should have taken quite a lot of time became so short, due to the absence of monsters that blocked.
But because they want to go home quickly, it does not really matter.
The carrier pigeon came and perched on Liona's shoulder, Liona opened it and it turned out to be a letter from Xavier.
"Don't go back to Mavros, the situation here is quite dangerous, I've sent you letters repeatedly, but you never reply, I'm very worried."
The letter was so short, it made Liona feel strange, reminded of the 'gift' that Cecilia would give.
But now that he was outside the black forest, he would soon arrive at the capital of Mavros.
But due to Xavier's warning, he couldn't let his guard down, it wasn't written in the novel because the plot had completely changed, so he wasn't quite sure how dangerous it was.
"We'll get you here, you can go to Mavros by yourself." Sean said, everyone does not matter because the journey is not so dangerous.
Sean said goodbye to the dazed Liona, Liona simply nodded and reminded Sean to be careful.
Descending from her horse, Liona whispered to Elios, Luther and Arthur that they should separate from the army.
No one cared about them, Liona explained the brief situation that Xavier had given her.
They will leave by splitting up, so as not to be caught and also be able to observe the situation there.
Cecilia observed their behavior, she grinned and pretended not to know, only continuing to chat with the person beside her.
A cruel glint flashed across her eyes, it felt like Cecilia wanted to laugh and curse at Liona and her friends for being so naive.
"Just wait, you think you can get away with it easily? It's so stupid." Inner Cecilia in the heart.
Having been separated, Liona and her friends walked each other.
Luther who went east always felt he was watching someone, but there was no trace of the aura.
A few people in black suddenly appeared before him, Assassins with a strong mana pressure, making Luther spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Who are you?" Luther wiped the blood on the corner of his lips.
But the Assassins did not speak and attacked Luther directly, a fight that could not be avoided.
Six against one, it was clear who was the loser, Luther coughed weakly, he stared at the six coldly.
"So you're the 'gift' that the perverted woman sent." Luther grinned.
He bit his thumb and made a strange pattern with his blood, the dark shadow of the demon behind him visible.
The demon shadow ate the six terrified Assassins.
Having demonic blood, Luther could summon demons with a blood pattern, although he could kill enemies in an instant, but the losses were enormous.
Luther's body was weak, and falling unconscious, several people in white robes appeared all of a sudden.
"Truly a child with demonic blood, take it! I'll research it later." An old man said.
Luther, who had lost his consciousness, did not know that his body was now being carried to a very dangerous place.
"Cecilia's a good job, it's not in vain that I raise you, you don't disappoint me to find the next ingredient." The old man muttered with a cruel grin.
His face looked a few points like Cecilia, yet this old man looked even more ruthless.
Pray for Indramayu and also Makassarš, stay safe yes friends wherever you are. It is truly a sad day, may we always be in God's protection
