He took a step forward. Upon hearing rustling sounds, he lowered his head and saw that ashes completely covered the ground.

Where is this? He was a little puzzled. He raised his head to look around, but a strange, black fog surrounded him. He couldn’t see anything at all.

“Elaro…”

Elaro turned and cried out in surprise, “Teacher? Have you returned?”

“Returned? Hehe…”

“Teacher?” Elaro could faintly see a dark shadow. He fumbled his way in that direction, and, at the same time, asked, “Teacher, why haven’t you returned yet? Have you gone to complete another mission along the way?”

When he was close enough to see his figure, Elaro abruptly froze in his tracks. He stared in disbelief at that shadow.

The person was facing the side. His long hair was loose and covered most of his face. In the midst of the black fog, his figure wasn’t very clear, but Elaro could still tell that the long hair draping downwards was black.

Elaro asked cautiously, “Teacher, is that you?” He hoped it wasn’t. It was trivial and normal for other people to have black hair, but whenever his teacher’s hair turned black…

It meant that the Demon King had once again resurfaced.

The person’s lips quirked up, and he said with a smile, “You’ve seen my true self, and you’ve been my student for so many years already. Elaro, don’t tell me you still can’t recognize me?”

Of course, I recognize you. Elaro just didn’t want to admit it. He was not surprised to receive a confirmation, and he was no longer shocked out of his wits. Rather, he tried his hardest to calm down as he asked, “Teacher, where are the others?”

“Relax.” The Demon King was obviously not surprised that Elaro would ask this question. He answered disinterestedly, “They’re alive and breathing.”

When he heard this, Elaro truly let out a big sigh of relief. However, he was immediately scared into retreating the very next second. Both of his teacher’s feet suddenly left the ground, and he flew right up to him. His eyes stared directly at him too. It was a pair of completely black eyes, without even a shred of white—the eyes of the Demon King!

“Is it scary?” He chuckled and said, “I remember in the past, when you saw me like this, you immediately screamed ‘monster!’”

“Teacher, aren’t you bearing that grudge a little too long?” Elaro tried his hardest to maintain how they usually interacted. Based on his experiences living in the Demon King’s Castle many years ago, this was the best way to avoid angering the Demon King.

“It’s because you suddenly appeared, and I was greatly shocked that I said that. Afterwards, when I figured out what was going on, didn’t I leave with you?”

“That is true. You sure have more guts than even the sky can hold!” The Demon King laughed, and then his voice turned cold. “Otherwise, how would you have dared to join hands with Adair to trick me back then?!”

Elaro’s heart skipped a beat. At first, he wanted to hide his reaction and remain calm on the outside, but then, he abruptly remembered that he wouldn’t be able to hide it from his teacher. It might be better to directly show his reaction. He breathed in deeply and smiled painfully, “Teacher, please don’t scare me! You have already taken revenge against Adair and me several times. Are you still not finished taking revenge?”
