354: Magic Mirror

“Name.”

“Da Mu.”

“Gender.”

“Hermaphrodite.”

“Race.”

“Void Demon.”

“Tell me, as a Void Demon, why didn’t you stop the escape of the Dragon Demon?”

In the gloomy interrogation room, the Demon with a greatsword on his back suddenly looked up at the Void Demon before him.

Da Mu was imprisoned by heavy chains on a chair carved with the pale, ferocious head of a demon beast.

“Sir, I just dispelled the Alien Space, and my magic power hasn’t settled down yet.”

“Bang~”

The Sword Demon angrily slammed the table and stood up.

“Are you messing with me? Does it take that long for your magic power to settle? You’re a Demon God.”

Da Mu shrank his head, a little fearful, and cautiously said, “Actually, when the Demoness fell, my magic power was already enough to control space.”

The Sword Demon showed an expression of 'as expected', “Then why didn’t you stop him?”

“After the Demoness fell, the enslavement mark in my head shattered, impacting my Soul and causing me to be dazed for a short time,” Da Mu spread his hands.

“Enslavement?” The Sword Demon raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had heard this word since the Sword Demon God issued the Demon Decree.

“That’s right, that bitch actually obtained the inheritance of a Demon God skilled in Soul enslavement, secretly enslaving us to do her bidding. This encirclement was nominally revenge, but in reality, it was aimed at enslaving the Dragon Demon,” Da Mu gritted his teeth.

The noble Void Demon being enslaved! What an immense humiliation!

“Can you guarantee that?”

“I swear on the honor of us Void Demons.”

The Sword Demon nodded and had his subordinates take Da Mu away.

He himself then joined the other interrogators.

“Did you get a confession?”

“How bizarre, a Demon King-level Demoness could enslave a Demon God?”

“This Demoness seems to have used the help of a divine artifact.”

“That inheritance is not simple; according to the confession, it seems to be the inheritance of the Soul Reaper.”

“This Soul Reaper is infamous. After being severely wounded by Lord Sword Demon God, he disappeared without a trace. I didn’t expect him to have fallen, and his inheritance was obtained by Fear Demoness Alice.”

“Is the situation true? Could it be that those Demons colluded in their testimony? After all, the Demonic Codex stipulates that those who commit crimes while enslaved shall receive lighter punishment, with the primary responsibility falling on their master.”

“Confirmed. Broken enslavement marks still exist within the Souls of those Demons.”

“Exactly. Otherwise, why would the hermaphroditic Void Demon race be captured by a Demoness?”

“Indeed.”

“Exactly, exactly.”

“Makes sense.”

The Demons conversed with each other, defining the nature of the case.

“Since that’s the case, the Demons in this case will be lightly punished, but the escaped astral creature cannot be let go. They came to our Hell, killed so many Demons, and still want to run?”

“Indeed, and the Soul Reaper’s inheritance cannot be let go. If it were to spread, we would fall into chaos again.”

Enslavement, in those ancient times, was not taken seriously by Demons.

Not to mention Demons, even in the astral and celestial realms, there were many masters skilled in enslavement.

But as civilization progressed, this method gradually became unacceptable. Enslaving other races was fine, still within the legal scope.

But enslaving one’s own kind? Even Demons could not tolerate it.

After the great Fusion of multiple Demon races, to avoid internal strife and focus on dealing with the celestial realm, it was strictly forbidden to enslave one’s own kind.

........

“Phew, finally escaped.”

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Before the Demons could react, he returned to the Nether Ship Space via a series of teleportation arrays.

“Don’t be careless. There are countless tracking methods. Let me help you hide,” Hu said.

Lin Ye nodded.

There are thousands of laws, and tracking methods are also countless.

Things like fate prophecy, enhanced perception tracking, and spacetime backtracking.

The methods of powerful practitioners in this field are impossible to guard against.

Fortunately, there was an old monster at home; otherwise, Lin Ye would probably be driving the Nether Ship back to the Galaxy by now.

Hu directed Lin Ye, cutting off some traces.

“This isn’t foolproof. Now, we must first eliminate the Shadow Demon Curse on you; otherwise, as soon as you leave this space, that Shadow Demon will be able to sense you.”

The Shadow Demon Curse was truly that Shadow Demon God’s forte.

Along the way, it continuously corroded Lin Ye, devouring his shadow.

Lin Ye nodded. The Shadow Demon’s methods were very strange, and the pain from the curse was difficult for even him to bear.

The process of removing the curse was long.

It took several months to completely remove it.

“What a pity. If I could possess you, this curse could be removed in an instant.” Hu expressed some regret, still longing to possess Lin Ye.

As a guardian spirit, not being able to possess was simply torture.

Lin Ye shrugged. He would be happy to be possessed, but unfortunately, Hu had already formed a Contract with the Great Wizard.

“How’s that magic mirror?” Lin Ye reminded him.

He had been busy escaping and removing the curse, so he hadn’t had time to check his gains.

Hu became interested, “This is a good thing. While I was removing your curse, I already thoroughly researched it.”

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow. Hu’s work efficiency was quite good.

Hu waved a hand, and the magic mirror appeared. Its appearance was magnificent and mysterious. Its frame was usually made of exquisite metal or wood, carved with beautiful patterns and runes, emitting a mysterious glow. The mirror’s surface was smooth as silk, like a calm lake, clearly reflecting one’s image.

As Lin Ye gazed at the magic mirror, he felt drawn by an invisible force, making him instinctively want to explore its secrets.

Unlike its struggling escape earlier, the magic mirror was now incredibly docile, and even its mysterious halo seemed unusually gentle.

“This magic mirror actually reached the level of a two-star divine artifact, and it’s at the peak among two-star artifacts. It specializes in amplifying Soul, but don’t underestimate it just because it only specializes in amplifying one ability. Its strongest amplification is amplifying Soul enslavement ability,” Hu exclaimed.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.

It is well known that the more comprehensive the abilities amplified by a divine artifact, the more powerful it is.

For example, the Book of Prophecy can amplify attack, defense, speed, skill intensity, and also excels in various strange abilities, so it is in no way inferior to demon god pillars and the like.

This magic mirror’s ability is very singular, specializing in amplifying Soul. However, it can greatly increase enslavement ability, making it a small top-tier item.

“If you cultivate Soul enslavement ability, with its assistance, you can enslave someone one realm higher than you. It can also strengthen the abilities of your enslaved subordinates, which is very powerful,” Hu said.

Lin Ye nodded. It was indeed very strong, then felt a little regretful.

“Unfortunately, I am not skilled in enslavement ability.”

His Soul Law progress was good, but his application was terrible. Not to mention highly technical abilities like enslavement, he hadn’t even fully grasped basic attack and defense.

“If the Great Wizard’s collection hadn’t been lost, there would have been many Soul-related inheritances for you. Unfortunately, most of those inheritances dissipated over the years, and only the fate inheritance protected by the Book of Prophecy remained.”

The Great Wizard, over countless years, naturally collected many inheritances.

But the vessels of those inheritances were not as good as the Book of Prophecy. They were worn away by time and dissipated into the river of time.

Lin Ye felt a little regretful. Hu had told him this point earlier: only the fate inheritance and some rewards protected by the Book of Prophecy remained; the rest of the inheritances, because the Great Wizard himself didn’t care, dissipated over the years.

“But!”
