Chapter 341 341: We Leave In Two Days!



Lucien sighed as he felt the emotions inside his heart churning like butter. He never wanted to have Yoze as his student since he knew that he was a demon in disguise.

Yet his own curse forced him into a situation where this scenario made this the only path he could follow. Unlike demons or immortals who had the capability to fight against curses, he was only an average human who knew a little bit about witchcraft.

Maybe others would consider him a talented fellow when it came to witchcraft, but he knew his limits. Unless he somehow gained his dying teacher's Cursed Book, there was very little hope for him to become a Grand Witch, much less become so skilled that he could join the ranks of Immortal Witches.

Most of his life seemed to follow the trend where his future was already decided. When he first ran away from the village, he initially wanted to find some powerful person so he could bring them back to the village to defeat the evil leaders.

It was only after learning more about the world that he realized that the people he sought after were martial artists. Unfortunately, life had a different plan for him, so he ran into his current teacher, surrounded by black fog in a random part of the forest.

For a witch to be sneaked up on while casting a curse was a dangerous situation that could have resulted in the caster dying a cruel death. Even if the curse was successfully cast, most witches would still be so angry that they would kill the one who disturbed them regardless of who did.

However, what happened next could only be described as a series of coincidences that resulted in his teacher accepting him as his student against his will. He could even clearly remember the strange look in his teacher's eyes after he became his third student.

"Luckily, Teacher Windsor was very kind and understanding that day. If not, my body would probably be buried six feet into the ground."

"But from Teacher Windor's face and him muttering something about an unexpected backlash, I can only imagine that he suffered the same fate as me." Lucien's eyes twitched as he felt he finally understood why his teacher had accepted him instead of just killing him.

"Lucien, I know you are in grief, but could you decide where to take your people soon? I know this is a major decision, but Teacher Windsor wants us both to be present when he is creating the Cursed Book. So, with his degrading health, it would be better if we got going sooner rather than later."

Suddenly interrupting Lucien's internal thoughts was Devi's soft but stable voice that whispered in his ear like a demon. After being interrupted by Devi, Lucien stopped thinking about the past and how his teacher might have also been forced to accept him as a student from his own curse.

Instead, he took a second to organize his thoughts and asked Devi for his thoughts on his plan.

"I am thinking about making an announcement tomorrow morning to everyone in Justice Town that we will leave for New Swampscott City in two weeks. That should give us enough time to gather our things to walk to the City without too many stops."I think you should take a look at

"What do you think?"

"You are giving the townspeople far too long to prepare. We are possibly dealing with an anomaly, and all anomalies have fast growth periods."

"To have everyone in town remain in the same place for another two weeks before leaving might result in the entire town being killed before two weeks even pass. Unless you are planning on betting on having me and my student stay and help you protect the town." As Devi finished speaking, he pulled out a small pot emitting white smoke from his pocket and handed it to Lucien.

"Here, Luxy and I will be leaving in two days to visit Teacher Windsor. We will help you protect the townspeople as long as you leave at the same time as us. If not... Teacher Windsor plans to create his Curse Book in two months."

Lucien breathed a heavy sigh as he nodded and accepted Devi's proposal. He couldn't afford to guard the town alone since he didn't have the power or resources to do so.

Even if he somehow convinced Yoze to help him protect the town, Lucien was more afraid that Yoze would replace the Slug demon's position and claim the town to be his farm. And even worse, he decided to simply kill everyone in the town and harvest their souls.

For the town's overall safety and his own, he knew it would be better if he could travel alongside Devi and Luxy. In any case, even if Yoze abandoned the town, they would have more safety and means to access more resources if they traveled alongside the wandering caravan.

As Lucien and Devi were discussing Justice Town's future, Yoze had a wide grin as he saw twelve Three-Eyed Crows that were 8 feet standing in front of him. Each of the crows emitted an intense, powerful aura that would have made any martial artist feel as if they were standing before the messengers of death.

Scar stood out of these twelve crows, who felt amazed to see how many of her relatives survived due to Yoze. She had initially thought that with Yoze's current rate of forming connections and transforming her into a Blood Beast, she could only save at most five of her closest relatives.

But it seemed that both she and Yoze had underestimated how much he would shorten the time he needed to transform Three-Eyed Crows into Blood Beasts. With every additional crow, the amount of time Yoze needed to turn them into Blood Beasts using the Bloody Beast Clone method dropped by 30 seconds.

The additional time saved allowed them to save more crows. It even gave Yoze enough time to remove the parasitic seeds implanted into their bodies. So not only were they saved and no longer ordinary birds, but they also had a great future ahead of them.
