Wizard of All Souls

A monster?

Will grimly walked over to the little girl.

The monsters in this world are all kinds of strange things, it is possible to look like a human, or to pretend to be a human.

As Will approached, the little girl felt threatened, and pushed her body back in fear. At the same time, her long hair was like a poisonous snake, baring its teeth and waving its claws, threatening Will.

snort!

Will snorted coldly, controlling his left eye to release a trace of coercion.

The little girl was instantly stunned, her dancing long hair hanging straight to the ground as if bearing dozens of times of gravity.

Will reached for the little girl's cheek.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

The little girl screamed in horror, but Will had no intention of stopping.

The index finger touched the little girl's cheek, it was soft and warm.

In terms of feel, it is no different from ordinary people.

Will manipulated the muscles in his fingers, and the nails on the index finger of his right hand popped out like switchblade blades on the chubby fingers, picking up a drop of blood on the little girl's cheek.

Withdraw your hand.

The blood on the nails was black, and slowly squirmed like life.

Take the bloody finger in your mouth.

That drop of blood, like a bug, desperately burrowed into the tongue.

Bah bah...

Will quickly spat out the drop of black blood in his mouth, while staring at the little girl dangerously.

You're a monster, aren't you? Will asked.

The little girl didn't answer, but kept screaming, making inexplicable syllables.

Can't understand people's language?

Regardless of whether the opponent is a monster or not, there is only one thing that can be confirmed.

That is - not human!

Since you're not human, then, I'm sorry. Will raised his right hand to the little girl, Don't move around, I don't want to hurt you, I will finish you quickly and ruthlessly.

A white light condensed on the palm of Will's right hand.

The little girl looks weak.

But Will, who has experienced the four-armed ghost ape and the troll incident, will no longer look down on anyone or any race.

rest in peace!

Will's right hand turned into a sharp thorn and stabbed at the little girl's head.

No, don't kill me!

A soft, crying voice suddenly sounded.

Will's right hand stopped three centimeters away from the little girl's forehead.

Holy Imperial language?

Will was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the Holy Imperial language he had just learned for half a year would come in handy so soon.

The little girl leaned tightly against a tree trunk, staring at Will pitifully with her eyes, and kept repeating the words don't kill me.

Will withdrew his hand, a friendly smile on his face.

You can talk? Tell me earlier. Will communicated in broken Holy Imperial language, Who are you? What's your name? What's going on with your body?

Will comforted the little girl for a long time before the little girl let down her vigilance towards Will.

My, my name is Itana.

Itana? It's such a nice name. What do you have to do with monsters?

Monster?

Yes, monsters are very powerful creatures with the same intelligence as humans. I am very interested in them. If you know something, can you tell brother? Will said softly.

We...we...Gorina Nainai...

The little girl spoke intermittently, as if she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.

From Itana's words, Will understood.

Itana is a member of the Gorina family. People of this family are born with powerful magic power and physique.

Although the body structure and nature are very different from humans, they are indeed members of humans.

and--

Dependents of Demon Lord Gorina?

The haze in Will's eyes flashed.

Who is the devil Golinai? Why haven't I heard of it? Will asked suspiciously.

After questioning the little girl carefully, Will always understood.

In ancient times, when monsters ruled the world, the most powerful monster was called the Demon King.

There are eight demon kings in total!

Gorina is the Demon King of the Bloodbeard Demon Clan.

The Bloodbeard Demon Clan is a kind of fleshy ball with tentacles that is good at mind control and life absorption.

Because the blood bearded devil is extremely out of gregariousness, it is also a kind of monster among monsters.

So it was the second demon king who was defeated and sealed by humans - other demon kings also contributed a lot.

What is that family member?

By transforming the human body, Lord Gorina, the monster, allows ordinary people to obtain part of the abilities of the Bloodbeard Demon, and their lifespan and physique are also greatly enhanced. Itana explained.

I see.

Will nodded, understanding.

Ordinary people can obtain super strength by fusing the flesh and blood of monsters.

The so-called demon king's retinue should be similar to the wizard who fused the demon species, but from Will's observation, the difference is quite big.

At least, although the wizard has fused with the demon seed and possessed magical power, his vitality is still there.

It's not so powerful that it replaces life force with magic power.

Will asked a few more questions.

I finally understood what happened to the so-called dependents.

Dependents, the demon king has completely transformed human beings, making them completely out of the scope of human beings and becoming monsters in another sense.

Dependents have great strength and longevity, but they will never be able to break through the third-class wizard apprentice and advance to the first-class wizard.

At the same time, no matter how powerful the dependents are, they will never be able to escape the control of the devil, because the control orders are engraved in the genes.

The dependents will instinctively get close to the Demon King's family, and will unconditionally obey the Demon King's orders.

Unless they die, or undergo genetic modification treatment, the dependents will never be able to get rid of this characteristic.

If that's the case, then the dependents are really quite pitiful. Will also sympathized with Itana.

Transformed by the devil, turned into a slave of the devil.

Not only will they obey the orders of the Demon King unconditionally, but they will also sincerely get close to the race of the Demon King who transforms itself. What a pity!

But also because of this!

Dependents will never betray.

Therefore, in ancient times, when humans and monsters were at war, dependents were enemies, traitors were monsters.

Will rubbed Itana's soft long hair, and said to the tired Itana: Are you tired? Go to sleep at ease. When you wake up, everything will be fine.

At the same time, Will's right hand, which was hidden behind him, condensed white light.

Itana shook her head suddenly, her face flustered, The bloodbeard demon clan has already been wiped out by people and monsters, and I am the only one left of my clan.

oh.

That is really miserable.

But rest assured, soon, you'll be reunited with your family's ancestor, the Bloodbeard.

Hope you guys have fun over there.

Because the bodies of the dependents have been modified, they can only marry and produce offspring among the dependents. They cannot reproduce with humans and monsters. Itana explained nervously.

Will understands this.

Will has learned from Fern that the more powerful a wizard is, the less likely they are to reproduce, and at the same time the chances of their offspring inheriting the bloodline are higher.

It is a normal phenomenon that the bodies of the Itana family have been genetically modified, and they are reproductively isolated from other creatures.

I am the only one left in our family. Once I die, the Gelinai family will disappear completely.

That's really pitiful.

So, so...don't kill me...

Itana wept softly.

How could I kill you? I was in the troll territory just now, and I risked my life to save you. You have to believe...

Suddenly, Will's expression changed.

Will stood up, looking down at Itana, eyes very cold.
