Chapter 144-143- Experience and Disappearance

Seven years later.

It was an autumn day with yellowing leaves, and the manor was immersed in bleakness. The wind blew dead leaves swirling across the grass. Also parked here was a huge armored vehicle.

Yvette stood at the gate of the villa, watching Abella helping Lante carry the suitcase into the car, and then heard her say: "What are you doing? Why is there a dog in the car? It stinks!"

"I'm sorry, Sister Abella." Lant apologized reflexively, then petted the little yellow dog in the car and said with a shy smile, "It's too lonely to experience it alone. I wanted to bring it with me to relieve my boredom."

The little yellow dog lay on the ground, lowering his head and looking at the cold and beautiful woman who exuded a terrifying aura. He said nothing, and his silent and introverted appearance easily reminded people of the mediocre and self-deprecating demon boy when he first arrived seven years ago.

At that time, the boy was still a mortal who had only perseverance and willpower but nothing else. He was bullied by Abella for a long time. But with the curse in his blood being lifted and mastering the true "demonization" ability, Lant grew into a combat master at an astonishing speed. He finally got Abella's recognition and no longer gave him a bad face all day long.

But unfortunately, even though he became Yvette's third disciple and could legitimately call her teacher, his status was no higher than Abella. Apart from practicing, he was treated like a servant by Abella, and the class system was strict.

But Lant didn't mind. After being tortured by Miss Divine Servant for many years, he actually didn't have much hatred, because he was very inferior at that time and even looked down on himself.

After he became a complete demon with terrifying talent, his fragile heart finally had a pillar of support, but to a certain extent, it only just offset his past inferiority complex and made him become normal.

He may be the only demon who has fully unleashed his power, the genius and future hope of the tribe, but apart from the fire of revenge in his heart, in other aspects, he is just an ordinary country boy.

He respects his teachers and is grateful to them like an ordinary person. He practices diligently and works hard every day. He does some cleaning work within his ability. Occasionally, he misses his family and raises small animals. His heart is clean and pure, and he has no bad habits... In short, he is so ordinary that he is boring and even disliked.

But he was just an ordinary and boring boy, and no one taught him to change.

Actually, after he became a formal student, he didn't spend much time studying with his teacher. It was mostly Miss Divine Servant who taught him techniques, served as his sparring partner, and ensured his safety when he challenged the deformed monsters... So in a sense, Miss Divine Servant was half a teacher to him, and had done him a favor as well. She was the one he was secretly grateful to.

However, as an Avenger, he couldn't stay on Ish Island forever. The aberrations here were no longer enough for him to fight, and he needed to leave the safe environment of his teacher and hone himself in an environment without anyone to protect him, so that he could grow.

By the way, it can also increase his chances of encountering the aurora and returning home.

…

Looking at Lant's silly smile and then at the dull and timid little yellow dog, Abella curled her lips.

During these seven years, Rant mostly did not live in the manor, but often moved to different places and kept various small animals. The little yellow dog was the pup born by a female dog raised by Rant. He loved it very much and often kept it with him. He had taken care of it for several months, so it seemed reasonable to take it with him when traveling.

Perhaps because she was used to being a strict teacher, it was almost instinctive for her to be fierce to Lant. At this moment, her tone softened a little and she said, "If you don't mind the trouble, then it's up to you."

She then walked towards another car on the corner of the estate.

Lant left Ish Island and headed for the mainland for training. Naturally, he needed a sea-crossing vehicle, and the armored vehicle he used was the magical motorcycle Yvette had crafted over the years. She had built four iterations, and Lant's version was probably the third. Their combat power and range were similar, the main difference being comfort.

But just in case, Abella had to escort them across the sea, to avoid a high-level aberration crash along the way, which would end the experience before it even began.

"Then I'm ready to leave, teacher." Lant looked at Yvette, and his expression immediately turned into respect from the heart.

The reason is simple. After the transformation, the teacher has become his adoptive parent and the person he respects most in his life. He is even equally important than his deceased relatives such as his parents and sister.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that after breaking free from the shackles of the demon's curse, he not only possessed excellent magical talents and the temporary explosive ability of "demonization", but his lifespan also increased. Conservative estimates show that he has already stepped into the threshold of immortality.

So in seven years, his appearance has actually changed very little. He has become a little more mature, but overall he is still that ordinary country boy. People cannot detect how outstanding his fighting ability is hidden.

"If you see the aurora, remember to let me know." Yvette nodded calmly. She had prepared long-distance communication equipment that allowed Lant to contact the island in real time, and if he had to return to the other world, he could also say goodbye.

"I will, Sensei."

"If you encounter a mechanical race, first tell them that you are also a mechanical race. Once you are discovered, then consider admitting that you are from another world."

"I understand, teacher." Lant had heard of the existence of the mechanical race a long time ago and was full of curiosity about this mysterious race born from alchemical creations.

"Don't rely on your demonic powers. Use normal methods to solve problems, and prioritize using your brain."

"Okay, teacher." Lant already knew all this, but he still nodded in response without getting tired of it.

What else can't be forgotten? Yvette thought for a moment, then suddenly returned upstairs. She took out the "Earth Demonic Codex" and "Heavenly Punishment Demonic Codex" that had been gathering dust in the cabinet for so long that she had almost forgotten about them. She handed them to the bewildered Rant and said, "This is for you."

"Ah!" Abella screamed, remembering the scene a long time ago when a black dragon used a battle magic book to beat her.

This is pure cheating.

The master gave this thing to this kid. When he crosses the sea, he won’t use it to take revenge on me halfway, right?

When she thought about what she had done over the years and looked at the two combat magic books whose permission information had been entered by Lant, Abella suddenly felt a little guilty.

Lant obviously didn't know what Abella was thinking. He asked curiously, "What's wrong, Sister Abella?"

"Nothing." Abella looked up at the sky.

"I will definitely learn everything above, teacher." After a moment, after gaining access to the magic book, Lant immediately realized how precious this thing was and swore seriously.

He hadn't yet realized the terrifying combat power of the grimoire itself, especially its terrifying one-click combos, but the spells within them alone were invaluable. Over the years, he had only learned comprehensive spells, such as life-healing spells, melee defensive spells, and strengthening spells, along with some physical training. He hadn't delved deeply into pure earth and thunder magic.

Yvette hummed, then said, "If you return to your hometown, remember to help me check on your second brother. If you are in danger, you can ask him for help and look after each other."

Lant solemnly agreed, bid his teacher farewell, and climbed into the driver's seat. With the engine humming, the armored vehicle slowly ascended into the air, and along with Abela's vehicle, it drove toward the distant skyline.

His destination was Kuroshio Island, because Yvette had circled Kuroshio Island before, eliminating most of the high-level mutants, and was familiar with the puppet kingdoms along the way, so she marked a safe zone for him.

In addition, he also had a mission, which was to find a puppet kingdom and let them use the temple to convey an apology message to a senior named Bingyu.

It is said that the teacher had agreed to meet her in Emerald Island a hundred years ago, but due to force majeure he was unable to go. It is unknown whether the senior is still waiting there.

…

After Lant and Abela's magic motorcycle disappeared at the end of the sea and sky, Yvette stood on the top floor of the ruins of the Black Tower and watched for a while, feeling a little sad.

In terms of how attentive she is to her students, she prefers Rosalyn the most, followed by Douglas.

Abella is considered a hidden disciple and has learned much more than Rant, but it is not as legitimate to order a student around as it is to order a maid around. Abella also has unrealistic fantasies about the status of a formal student, so she is stuck.

As for Rand, she couldn't say she didn't like him, but she did outsource all the teaching work to Abella, and she really wasn't very attentive.

However, even so, it did not prevent Lant from being grateful to her. Even if she only said a word, he would go through fire and water for his teacher and would not hesitate to die.

What an honest child.

After staring silently for a long moment, Yvette turned around and returned to her peaceful life, waiting for Abella to return.

Ten days later, Abella still hadn't returned, but a message from Lant had already been sent to Yvette's study in the form of a message using an elemental wave communication device.

"Teacher, I asked the great elder of the Agashe Puppet Kingdom for help. I got the information from Senior Bingyu through the Holy Hall."

"A hundred years ago, she traveled to the North Pole due to a mysterious legend about the North Sea. She disappeared and never returned. The Holy Order's 'Divine Grace' went to the North Pole to search for her, but none of them returned. All of them are missing."

"But the temple said that all the missing people are still alive, including her!"
