Chapter 400: 394 La la la~~~(～￣▽￣)～_2

These words silenced everyone.

But, the bad news wasn’t just this one.

"Besides, when we were cleaning up the battlefield, we also didn’t find any traces of those four Demon Warriors. It’s likely that they were not caught up in the outburst of the Evil God but took the opportunity to escape," Mafi said somberly, "As for the Magic Life created by imitating Lord Jade that we brought out and controlled, not long ago, we found that she suddenly died on the spot, without leaving a single word."

Everyone was speechless.

Goddess Lilith’s eyes flickered a few times before she leaned silently into Shane’s embrace.

Iris, however, offered an explanation.

"Perhaps it’s because the magic they invented for creating Demigods was still imperfect, or maybe it’s because the principle of Life Creation Magic really can’t be applied to the Divine Race. The Magic Life they created by imitating Lord Jade had significant flaws."

Therefore, it wasn’t surprising at all that this Little Mage’s life was problematic and she suddenly died suddenly.

Not to mention the Magic Life of a Demigod, even an ordinary Magic Life would have similar problems if there was some error made during its creation.

Life Creation Magic is not a power that can be used to create Magic Life at will.

At least, creating a satisfactory Magic Life is anything but simple.

Danass, by collecting Jade’s Magic Power, hoped to create her replica; that was difficult enough.

Otherwise, all Life Creation Mages would go mad collecting the Magic Power of the strong to create their replicas.

Still, to create a Magic Life that meets expectations requires a lot of conditions.

Qualified materials, a qualified imagination, qualified skills, and talent are all indispensable.

Even Laischa had problems when creating Lasha, which led to Lasha not being able to have the slightest combat power, right?

If it wasn’t for the fact that Danass’s Life Creation Magic was at level 10, and he himself was an expert in this field, plus he had collected rare materials for a long time and used these materials in the creation, then it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to successfully create a Little Mage.

He himself said that he was prepared for failure and was ready to spend another few decades to complete the creation of this Magic Life.

This fact speaks volumes.

"... So, after all that, are you saying we haven’t even captured a single mastermind behind this?"

Shane was suddenly depressed.

The others felt the same, somewhat displeased.

Especially Ai Yi, who almost had ’upset’ written all over her face.

After all, the purpose of her coming to the Duke Sterling’s domain was to subdue the Old Demon Clan Faction.

Now, only some tools used to break the Sealing were dealt with, but the masterminds had disappeared, so it was no wonder that this Dragon Demon Lord was in a bad mood.

Therefore, Ai Yi turned to Iris.

"Can’t you think of a way using Anima’s power?" Ai Yi pressed aggressively, "You used that power to track our whereabouts. Surely you’ve done similar things before, right?"

The implication was to let Iris use the power of the Life Goddess to search for the life traces of these masterminds behind the scenes, locate their whereabouts, and root them out.

"I... I can’t do it!" Iris quickly shook her head, pitifully saying, "That power can only be used to search for the source of life traces left in front of me or around me, meaning I need a reference of their life Qi to work. It’s not really searching, but tracking!"

Originally, Iris was able to "see" Shane and the others with that power because they had just left Jeliteli not long ago, and she could find Shane and the others’ residual life Qi on the corpses of the Magic Life in that graveyard.

But this time, Cosmos was completely leveled, and the masterminds had never shown up, so where was there any residual life Qi?

If there weren’t these limitations, Iris would have found Cappelen’s whereabouts long ago, why would she still be worrying about how to find her now?

Anima herself might be able to do it since she’s the Life Goddess, the mother of all the Human Race, and her Authority itself records the life Qi of all creations, so she could locate any Human even without a reference, which is how she was able to guide Iris to Oz and Mafi and other Beastmen. But this also meant that if the creation wasn’t by Anima, she couldn’t do it.

Moreover, the human mastermind had never shown up, and since it was unknown who it was, amid the vast sea of people, even Anima wouldn’t know whom to lock onto, would she?

Besides...

"Even Lady Iris can’t use the power of the Life Goddess casually!" Oz exclaimed loudly, "It puts a strain on Lady Iris’s body, and the further away the target, the stronger the power, the thinner the life Qi left behind, the greater the burden on Iris when she uses the power. If she carelessly abuses the power of the Life Goddess, she could die!"

Oz was fiercely protective and even glared at Ai Yi.

However, all it took was a single glance from Ai Yi, and Oz immediately felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to his skull, almost bringing him to his knees.

Oz then remembered who the person before him was.

Anima had once earnestly instructed the Beastman Race in a serious tone,

"The little girl accompanying that young human noble is one of the Six Great Demons, the Dragon Demon of the Demon Clan, You must take care not to offend her when you come into contact with her, or the consequences will be even more severe than the unsealing of Goddess Lilith. Do you understand?"

Recalling Anima’s expression and tone at the time, not only Oz but also Iris and Mafi began to break out in a cold sweat.

"Do you have a problem with me, little dog?" Ai Yi then revealed a cold smile to Oz.

Oz was already sweating profusely.

On any normal day, anyone who dared to call him, a noble werewolf and Beastman Priest, "little dog" would have faced his immediate wrath.

But to raise a fist to the little girl before him would be nothing short of courting death.

"I... I..."

Oz’s words were on the tip of his tongue, but he could not manage to voice them.

It wasn’t just Oz. Even Mafi, who was usually more composed and calm, was frozen in place, unable to extend a helping hand.

As for Iris, she already looked close to fainting.

Laischa and Lasha too didn’t dare to speak up, silencing themselves.

Until...

"Enough," Shane said to Ai Yi in an annoyed voice: "Is there any fun in bullying a few little guys in your eyes?"

The scorn in his tone, along with his outright disrespect towards the Dragon Demon, was enough to send shivers down spines.

"Hmph."

But Ai Yi retracted her gaze with a light snort, seemingly persuaded.

Oz and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shane, on the other hand, carried on as if he had just dealt with a trivial matter, not even deigning to mention it, and went straight to the point.

"Since we can’t find them, let’s leave it at that," Shane frowned and said: "After all, the grudge has been established, I don’t believe they won’t show up before us again. When that time comes, we’ll settle the score."

The matter was thus glossed over on the spot.

"Now that the affair is over, we should prepare to return to the Royal Capital," Shane turned to Laischa and said: "What are your plans? Lady?"

"Me?" Laischa was taken aback and after pondering for a moment, sighed, "I don’t know, I haven’t planned ahead yet."

The lady appeared lost, uncertain whether the shock she had experienced during her disappearance had caused her to be unsure of which path to take next.

Upon this, Shane had only one thing to say.

(What an opportunity!)

Shane’s eyes sparkled as he spoke unquestionably.

"In that case, come with us for now."

Having said that, Shane added another sentence.

"It’s settled then."

The crowd was left speechless.

Shane, of course, did not mind.

After all, he was still thinking about that all-capable maid by her side.

He wasn’t about to let her slip away! La la la~~~(～￣▽￣)～
