"Then die here."

Before long, the Demon Soul vanished into thin air and dissipated into nothingness.

The Shadow Army emerged and spread out in all directions, collecting the scattered pieces of flesh one by one. Including the Formless Demon Crystal Core, heart, and brain. These are important materials for Pharmacy and might be useful in the future.

Levi held an ancient mirror in his hands, his face filled with joy.

"A treasure with the ability to disrupt space is truly rare; I’ve struck it lucky."

He had personally witnessed the Formless Demon merely reflecting the mirror, causing the female alien race to fall out of the void. With this rare treasure, it would be much easier to confront level 8 powerhouses in the future.

On the other side.

Seeing Levi return safely, the Black Fish Venerable realized that the Ghost-faced Venerable was likely in peril.

With a flick of its tail, it spewed black ink covering a radius of a hundred miles, disrupting perception, then vanished from Louise’s sight like a squid.

Louise looked anxious and hastily exclaimed:

"Don’t go!"

She threw her long spear, flying toward the void!

Although Levi had the Chaotic Sky Demon Mirror, he had yet to study how to use it.

He tried attacking as well, but the demon had already fled.

Retrieving her long spear, Louise felt somewhat discouraged.

Once the Emperor’s daughter, she had never fallen to such a low point as today.

Reflecting on this, she couldn’t help but stomp her foot lightly.

Realizing there were others behind her, her face turned slightly red, and she sighed softly.

"Such a pity, letting him escape. But still, thank you for stepping in and helping me out."

Levi smiled and said:

"You’re welcome. I noticed you’re wearing the congress uniform; we’re all Nora’s compatriots and should naturally assist each other."

Just now, that Formless Demon rewarded Levi with over 70 million points.

Equivalent to two or three years of full-time demon-hunting, it was a lucrative gain.

If he could kill ten more such demons, he could directly redeem the Shadow Emblem.

In fact, if Levi wanted to redeem a 500-million-value Sun Refining Artifact, there was a prerequisite of killing ten level 8 demons or one level 9. As for rare treasures like the Shadow Emblem, just enough War Merit would suffice without these preconditions.

Louise pondered for a moment and asked:

"Does the Dusk Palace Master still recognize me?"

Levi responded:

"I don’t think I’ve ever met you."

Louise then pulled out a puppet, smiling:

"Do you recognize this item?"

Levi appeared to have an epiphany.

"I did indeed come across such a puppet in some ancient ruins of the New World before. It turns out to be yours. I was unaware at the time, I hope you won’t mind. If compensation is needed, I will oblige without hesitation."

Louise sighed and said:

"There’s no need for that. I am currently tasked with guarding a site in the New World. Would you like to visit my place?"

She thought to herself, this Dusk Palace Master is a talent who would surely become a major figure in the Wizard World in the future.

If she could establish a good relationship with him, fulfilling her future plans would be greatly beneficial.

Moreover, she heard that on the Ancient Dragon Continent where the Dusk Palace Master resides, there’s instruction for all kinds, regardless of race. Whoever works for him can settle down and gain respect, something she has longed for. But as a level 8 powerhouse, lowering herself to seek him out would be inappropriate.

Yet now was a golden opportunity.

Hence, she used that puppet to start a conversation between the two.

Also letting the Dusk Palace Master recognize that she is a magnanimous woman.

Levi also wished to know this woman, thus he gladly agreed.

On the journey, Louise asked:

"Sir Levi, is the Formless Demon dead?"

Levi replied:

"I killed it."

Upon hearing this, Louise maintained her usual expression, but she couldn’t help feeling astonished.

"Although the Formless Demon isn’t skilled in direct combat, its Demon Spirit Transformation abilities are proficient. I found it extremely difficult to kill such a demon, yet it was swiftly vanquished by a Seven-Circle Perfect Wizard... It seems he’s indeed as rumored, the reincarnation of a Legendary Wizard, beyond normal understanding."

She resolved to seize this opportunity to forge a good relationship with the Dusk Palace Master.

Although it seemed somewhat opportunistic, for the sake of the Ancient Tomb race, it was worth it.

...

Mist Continent.

The former burial site where Louise lay in slumber.

After allying with the Wizard Council, the official appoints Louise to guard this place, ensuring the smooth progress of opening up the area and hunting down demons nearby.

"Sir Levi, this is our Ancient Tomb race’s Heart-Cleansing Tea. It should be quite useful for your wizard meditation. I generally only drink a sip before making breakthroughs."

Louise assimilated to local customs, transforming to human size. She swapped her heavy Black Scale armor for a cool, breathable pale yellow gauze dress, letting her long, black, straight hair down, adding a touch of femininity.

Levi took the Heart-Cleansing Tea, gently smelled it, feeling refreshed and enlightened.

It was as if he had consumed meditation supplementary potion.

"Good tea."

He took a sip and praised it.

Louise laughed and said:

"Sir, you truly trust me, not fearing harm from me."

Levi smiled slightly:

"Miss Louise, I always assume the greatest goodwill in others..."

For one, the Danger Perception showed no signs.

Secondly, given his physique, even if the tea were an eight-level poison, it would not be lethal to him.

Seeing Louise’s face with a melancholy expression, Levi asked:

"I recall the Ancient Tomb race is also a large plane; why have you allied with the wizard?"

Touched upon a sad topic, Louise replied:

"Our Ancient Tomb race has perished, flattened by the Abyss over a hundred years."

She did not mention her Princess identity, fearing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Levi said:

"Apologies, I’ve been busy in seclusion these years, unaware of this."

He felt firsthand the terror of the Blood Battle being so close. A large civilization guarded by level-10 strongmen had been eradicated within a century.

The Nine Dragons Emperor, Saint Keith. If Levi remembered correctly, this person was ranked top thirty among Pan-Plane level-10 strongmen.

With a look of grief, Louise narrated the sad story of the Ancient Tomb race, and unknowingly, they chatted till Star Night.

As Levi was about to leave, Louise said:

"Sir Levi, would you still want the Heart-Cleansing Tea?"

Levi laughed and said:

"No deed, no reward. Such a valuable thing, lady should keep it for herself."
