Fulilian: The Little Master Who Doesn't Understand Love

Chapter 157 The Evolving Demons

"You're awake, Lord Lord!"

Waking up from a long sleep again, Lord slowly opened his eyes, but what came into his sight was not the familiar face he expected, but a beautiful elf girl.

Lord blinked in confusion, his mind still stuck in the chaos of a long period of soul slumber and body reconstruction.

It took him a while to realize that the elf in front of him was not the elf girl he was familiar with, but her apprentice Ella.

"Ella? Why are you here?"

He subconsciously looked for the familiar figure, but besides Ella, there was only Athos lying quietly beside the bed, emitting a soft light.

At this moment, Athos was maintaining a light golden translucent barrier that enveloped the entire bed.

"Lady Celie left for an urgent matter. Before she left, she specifically asked me to stay by your side to ensure your awakening is not disturbed.

Lord Lord, how are you feeling? Can you break this barrier first? Lady Celia said that only you can fully control Athos.

Ella pointed at Athos who was continuously casting barrier magic.

Although Celie left, she left Athos behind and cast a barrier magic on Lord.

In Celie's opinion, there is basically no magician in this world who can break the barrier of Atos, but just in case, she still lets her apprentice Ella guard Lord.

"What happened?"

Lord sensed the condition of his new body.

The reincarnation was perfect, without any problems.

His mind moved slightly, and he conveyed a thought to Athos. The next second, the light golden barrier quickly dissipated, and Ella was able to come before Lord.

"I'm fine." Lord stood up and stretched his new body. "What happened? Where is Celie? She rarely leaves during the crucial moments of my reincarnation."

"It's the demons! In an elven town not far from the forest, about a week before you woke up, traces of the demons suddenly appeared. They attacked the town, causing considerable casualties."

"Demons?" Lord's brows instantly furrowed.

He didn't expect that only about a thousand years had passed and this group of demons would appear again.

Just like an indestructible cockroach, they now gather together again and directly attack the elves' town.

"How many are there? Are there any particularly powerful demons among them?"

"The details are still unclear," Ella shook her head. "When the news reached us, Lady Celie was furious. She immediately decided to take action herself."

Ella's voice was filled with absolute confidence in her teacher's strength, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes. The teacher had been gone for almost a week, and the town should have been only a day's journey away from here.

"One week..." Lord's heart sank slightly.

With Celia's strength, it shouldn't take much effort to deal with ordinary demons.

Not returning for a whole week meant that the situation might be more complicated, or more dangerous, than he had expected.

"Tell me the location of that town and I'll go find her!"

"Lord Lord! Your body..."

Ella was a little concerned. Although Lord said it was okay, he had just completed his reincarnation after all.

"Don't worry."

Lord mentioned Orge and Athos and prepared to set off.

Although the magic power of his new body has not yet fully recovered, he doesn't mind letting those demons see what a melee magician is.

But before he could take action, a powerful and familiar magical fluctuation appeared in Lord's perception.

As the other person drew closer, Lord and Ella both looked towards the doorway. The door to the room was pushed open.

Celia's figure appeared at the door.

She was still wearing the familiar white robe, and her delicate face had not changed at all, except that her complexion was a little paler than usual, which seemed to be the sequelae of excessive consumption of magic power.

Even her breathing was much faster than usual. Although she tried her best to hide it, it could not escape Lord's eyes.

"Celie." Lord walked over.

"Lady Celia!" Ella also stepped forward immediately.

Celie's gaze first fell on Lord, and when she saw him successfully awaken, her cold eyes were filled with joy.

She nodded slightly to Ella: "Ella, you go back first."

"Yes, Lady Celia!" Ella looked at her teacher worriedly, then at Lord, and finally bowed respectfully and left the hut.

Only after the door closed did Celie turn her gaze completely to Lord.

"How did you feel this time?" Her tone sounded no different from usual, as if she had just gone out for a walk.

Lord did not respond to her words, but came to her, grabbed her little hand, and carefully sensed the magic power in her body.

Celie did not resist at all, but just let the man hold her hand and penetrate his breath into her body.

"Such a huge loss of magic power?" Lord's tone darkened. "What happened? Did we encounter a particularly powerful demon?"

Celie leaned slightly to the side, released Lord's hand, and walked to the table, taking out a bottle of magic recovery potion.

It still tasted extremely bitter, but after so many years, Celie had long been accustomed to it. The only thing she couldn't change was the frown.

After finishing the potion, she slowly spoke, "The demons in this town have been completely cleared out. Most of them are insignificant, except for..." Her eyes suddenly became serious, "a few of them are very special."

"Especially?" Lord asked.

"Yes." Celie nodded. "Do you remember the demon who called himself the Four Heavenly Kings that we met a thousand years ago?"

"Is it the one who can perform petrification magic?"

Lord recalled the existence of this demon from the depths of his memory. Although the opponent's strength was not very good, his magic was very special and could ignore some of Celia's defensive magic.

"Well, I encountered the same type this time." Celia paused, as if recalling the battle. "Their attacks can ignore my defensive magic."

"The kind that you completely ignore?"

"No." Celie shook her head. "It's a bit like penetration, or perhaps being offset? It's hard to describe."

Celia's tone held a hint of disbelief, an emotion Lord rarely saw in her.

"Lord, the demons are also evolving! I'm worried."

She said no more, but Lord understood exactly what she meant.

Indeed, the magical knowledge in this world is constantly evolving, and the demons will naturally not stand still.

After all, to some extent, the demons are the most gifted race in the world.

This time, Celie encountered a demon that could ignore her defensive magic. What about the next one? Will she encounter a demon that can directly penetrate her defensive magic, along with the magicians behind her?
Celie seemed to have seen the other person appear.

Lord's face also darkened.

He walked up to Celia and asked in a deep voice, "Have those demons been dealt with?"

"Yes! It's solved! To prevent the possibility of a resurgence, I used the most advanced magic, the same one I used on the goddess back then."
