Don’t tell him this was another dog blood drama where this dark mage ended up falling in love with the mother of his enemy? Because, really.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Shen Ji Yun asked, thoroughly not understanding the connection between the dark mage not killing Dusk and him not wanting the other’s mother to be sad.

We should really not blame Shen Ji Yun for this. Because he’s not like Luo Yan who had rich imagination that could come up with different dog-blood plots with just few information. If someone could describe Shen Ji Yun’s imagination, then, they could only compare it to a computer program that only ran in straight logic.

The dark mage chuckled once again because of Shen Ji Yun’s question, as if he was amused by his reaction. "I should just probably explain everything. I don’t have much time left today to use this body, after all."

Both Shen Ji Yun and Luo Yan caught the key words in what the dark mage just said – that he didn’t have much time left today to use the body he had. But before any of the two could think of the possible meaning behind those words, the dark mage suddenly removed the hood covering the upper half of his face.

What was revealed was a very a young man with black hair, sickly white skin, and a very plain face. All his features were plain and unordinary. Except for his eyes. They were as dark as an abyss with red vertical pupils.

"An archdemon?" Shen Ji Yun exclaimed after seeing the other’s eyes.

He had fought with an archdemon before in a dungeon raid. So, he knew that their eyes usually looked like the ones the dark mage had now.

Luo Yan was hit by another surprise. He suspected that it must have been related to the dark mage’s eyes, that’s why Shen Ji Yun said that. But how could this dark mage be an archdemon?

"Yes, I am," the dark mage answered very calmly. "But also not."

"What is it exactly, then?" Shen Ji Yun said with a bit of impatience in his voice.

"I will explain everything. But first, I want your companion to show themselves. Whatever they were using to hide their presence, it probably wouldn’t last long. My explanation would take quite a while. I’d rather see all of my audience as I do so."

Shen Ji Yun narrowed his eyes at the dark mage/archdemon. Of course, he didn’t want to agree with this suggestion. What if everything was just a trap? Although, dying inside the game wasn’t really much, it could still affect the progress of their hidden task.

There’s a chance that some of the information they had gathered so far might be negligible because of them dying. How could he let Luo Yan’s efforts go to waste? Besides, he also didn’t want to see an image of his rabbit dying even if it’s just virtual reality.

But before he could refuse this suggestion, Luo Yan had already removed the Invisibility Cloak and walked to his side.

"Yan Yan—"

Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun and smiled. "It’s okay, Brother Ji Yun. I don’t think this guy is trying to trick us. If he really doesn’t have much time, it’s better to let him talk before that said time ran out."

Besides, even if this was a trap, he wasn’t worried to face the consequence of that. If their progress would be lost, then, so be it. They could work hard again to gain what they lost. But somehow, he believed that that wouldn’t happen. Because his guts were telling him that this was not a trap and what the dark mage had said so far were all true.

He just hoped he wasn’t wrong.

Shen Ji Yun still didn’t like this set-up. But at the end, he could only let out a frustrated sigh. This was what Luo Yan had decided. Knowing the other, he definitely did it after much thought. So, questioning his decision now would be like indirectly saying that he had no trust in his decision making. And he didn’t want the other to feel that way.

So, he could only be more vigilant. At least, if this was really a trap, he would be ready to protect Luo Yan.

The dark mage looked at them with interest that probably lasted for a second, before his expression became placid.

"Since I could now see the both of you, let me begin by telling my identity. This body standing in front of you belongs to one of the most trusted advisors of the Dark Saint. While the one speaking to you right now is me, the archdemon of gluttony – Beelzebub. Do you understand?"

At first hearing, what he said might appear confusing. Good thing the two were both smart people. They quickly understood what the dark mage, no, the archdemon meant. It could now be easily tied up to what the other said about not having much time left to use the body today.

"You mean, you can inhabit this body during a specific time each day, am I correct?" Luo Yan asked to make sure.

"Yes," the archdemon answered simply.

"But why this body?" Luo Yan had to ask. "Or is this the only body you could inhabit?"

The archdemon nodded. "A fragment of my soul accidentally attached itself to this body."

Luo Yan suddenly guessed some things. The other inhabiting this dark mage’s body, doing it so for a thousand years, and what he said earlier about not killing Dusk because of Alina.

"Can you tell us your connection to all of this?" he asked.

The archdemon looked at him and said in a very calm and impassioned voice, "I was Alina’s lover. The archdemon who ultimately caused her demise."
