The demon began to tremble at the sight of his ruler. He remained silent, unable to formulate any words as he stared at Veau.
On the other hand, Veau glanced back at Xue and Rugi, who were still hiding Cecil behind their backs.
"Seems like you managed to take another one of yourself," Veau said languidly. "Before the other you did."
Rugi had recovered all his memories, thus, he could recognise the cobalt blue-haired devil. Cecil frowned deeply, not knowing if Veau was collaborating with this demon to mess with the mortal realm, or whether it was a decision of an individual.
However, she clearly heard the word "runaway" from Veau's mouth.
Why are demons running away to the mortal realm? And messing with the people here?
It doesn't make sense.
In the novel, Cecil recalled that the demons only appeared to impede on Xue's process of gathering his souls. Albeit, at this point, whatever details she could recall from the novel could be thrown out the window.
