Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

"?"

This news made Vlame raise an eyebrow.

After all, all the demons were firmly controlled by her oath magic.

How did they harm the guards and escape from prison?

"Uh... this..."

One researcher stammered on the screen for a long time, unable to speak.

Vlamé gazed at her, his emerald eyes narrowing slightly:

"Go ahead and speak, there's no need to hold back."

"Is there a problem with our defense mechanisms, or is the demon race secretly breaking the oath magic?"

Upon hearing this, the researchers seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and slowly said:

"Both."

"According to our preliminary investigation, the demons who attacked the guards were all beheaded by an unknown force before they acted."

"Because after decapitation, demons lose consciousness and their bodies turn to ashes, so the oath magic will completely fail."

"That's why we didn't find the body immediately."

"I'm so sorry, Lord Volame, we..."

Vlamé fell into deep thought.

Decapitation?

"Are you sure?" she asked sharply. "If they were unconscious, how did they manage to do it?"

The researcher sighed again and explained:

"That's where the demons' brilliance lies. We suspect that there's someone in their group who can use control magic."

"It's not mind control magic in the broad sense; the other party might be able to manipulate corpses, you know."

"It usually takes between ten seconds and a minute for a demon to turn into ashes."

"That's enough time for them to take action."

"It was our oversight, we're sorry..."

Frankly, they thought the Oath Magic was highly perfected and flawless, but they never expected it to be broken by manipulating corpses.

They used the corpses of their own kind, so they wouldn't feel sad about the deaths, and there was no need to destroy the evidence.

Vlamé fell into deep thought again, then stroked his chin and nodded knowingly.

So that's how it is. It seems I underestimated them.

“Tell me the list of escapees, and by the way…”

She was about to ask when they had already captured a few, since the far north was a barren place.

Without spatial magic, hiding in the snow is virtually impossible.

Just then, her daughter appeared on the screen.

She had the same dazzling orange hair as Volamete, but her pupils were the same deep black as Ronan's.

She spoke quickly, her words fast but not jumbled:

"Reporting to Mother, most of the demons who escaped have been captured, but numbers 11112 and 11119 are still missing."

"Number 11112 is named Aura, who is skilled in using mental control magic; number 11119 is named Zate, who is skilled in using spatial transfer magic."

"We have reason to suspect that the two of them were the masterminds behind this prison break."

As he listened to the report, Vlame nodded slightly.

"It's Roya."

This is her daughter with Ronan, also known as Vodia, who is currently in charge of oversight work in the far north.

She recalled the names of the two demons in her mind, as if she remembered something:

“Aura and Zhat? I’ve got it. Try your best to find them.”

"If you really can't find it, that's fine. After all, spatial teleportation magic is quite troublesome to deal with. Has a warrant been issued?"

"Reporting to Mother, the orders have already been given. Do you think we should inform Father, if he decides to intervene..."

Vlame raised her hand to interrupt her daughter: "Don't bother him with everything. This is such a small matter, he doesn't need to get involved personally."

"Although allowing demons to roam freely does pose certain dangers, as long as there are no demon corpses, they cannot harm humans for the time being."

Thinking of this, a rational and curious light gradually filled her eyes. She paused, then continued to give the order.

"Pass the word: even if you find it, do not act rashly. This is a rare experiment."

"It'll be good to see how demons without their claws will survive in human society."

Upon hearing this, Volia hesitated for two seconds.

She felt her mother's behavior was too impulsive, but upon closer reflection, it didn't seem too wrong, so she nodded gently and said:

"Yes."

After saying that, the call ended.

Vlame stood in front of the screen, stroking his chin as he fell into deep thought.

In which area will Aura or Zhat appear?

Spatial teleportation seems powerful, but it actually has drawbacks: its range is not very large, and it cannot be used very often.

It should be in the northern highlands.

"Ah."

With this in mind, she began to mobilize all resources to launch a comprehensive search in the northern highlands.

……

at the same time.

"Cuckoo."

At the bottom of a steep cliff, Aura's stomach rumbled loudly.

Seven hours have passed since the prison break.

Even yesterday, she spent the points she had accumulated over fifty years to finally get to eat a fish.

But at this moment, due to the long period of tension and escape, he was also exhausted and hunger surged like a tide.

She really wanted to kill Zart, attack the hunters or woodcutters, and feast on him.

But unfortunately, reason told her that she couldn't.

Gritting his teeth.

Just then.

"Awula, I think we should split up. It's too risky for two people to act together."

Not far away, Zate, sensing the little magic power left in his body, said expressionlessly.

He suddenly realized that after leaving the prison, Awula was a burden.

Bringing her along will only lower your chances of survival.

So, after saying that, he used spatial teleportation to disappear from the spot, giving the other party no chance to react.

"!?"

Aura was stunned on the spot.

It took me a while to realize what was happening.

"That bastard."

She cursed angrily and kicked a pebble at her feet.

Well, that's it. She didn't even have the chance to enjoy a delicious meal one last time. There was nothing she could do but keep going in order to fill her stomach.

She struggled to get off the cliff, and finally, as dusk fell, she stopped in front of a two-story house.

"Waaaah—!"

In the open space in front of the hut, a boy with blue hair, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, was practicing swordsmanship.

Sweat soaked his forehead, and his breathing was labored.

Upon seeing this, Aura simply swallowed hard.

Instinctively from the demon race, a thought flashed through her mind in an instant.

—Delicious, I want to eat it.

"Who?!"

Just as Aura had the idea but did not put it into action.

As if sensing the subtle change in the air, the boy abruptly stopped swinging his sword.

He has had exceptionally keen senses since childhood, and just now, he clearly sensed a faint, subtle malice.

Although it disappeared quickly, it still...

He pressed his fingers to his chest, calmed his breathing, and quickly looked around, searching for the source of the malice.

—My parents are away on a long trip for a while, so I have to take care of this family.

……

……

Not far away, Aura noticed that the boy had actually noticed her presence and subconsciously took a small step back.
