This explains why Bai Luo looked tired.
She had a fist-sized wound on her left shoulder, like a snake bite, with the flesh turning purplish-black and bubbles constantly forming in the middle.
It was the result of a strange clash between black magic and water-based fighting spirit, with neither side gaining the upper hand, causing the wound to expand and become increasingly severe.
Bai Luo's voice was normal, as if she hadn't felt any pain: "I was supposed to have the priest perform the daily cleansing at noon, but since you've come, it's been postponed to the afternoon."
"Are you alright?" Tagore scratched his head. "How did you get this disease?"
Anna also urged, "Never mind us, let's go call the pastor first."
Linda remained silent, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes.
This injury is very similar to [Dark Corruption].
It can only be used with dark-type fighting spirit, and is a power of laws inherited from the Demon King's Castle!
Attack your enemy with the law of darkness and corruption; even if they don't die, they will be left with scars that are difficult to heal.
The wound will continuously drain the life of the sufferer, and can only be suppressed with battle aura or magic, but cannot be removed. It is an extremely disgusting law.
As far as Linda knows, only demons of the rank of high-ranking official or above are qualified to cultivate [Dark Corruption].
"You fought with the people from Dragon's Rest Tomb?" Linda asked in a deep voice.
"Yes. The Azure City organized adventurers to launch a surprise attack on the demons on the 30th floor, and as the dean of Azure Sky University, I was also invited."
He killed several cadres, but was also accidentally injured himself.
A teacher would never make this mistake; I'm too incompetent.
Bai Luo gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Seeing the dejection in Bai Luo's eyes, Lin Da felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and her right hand involuntarily rose up, wanting to touch Bai Luo's head.
Fortunately, he held back, and Bai Luo looked at him with a puzzled expression when he raised his right hand and then lowered it.
In the game, Bai Luo is the kind of person who doesn't like to take credit. Although he may have "killed a few cadres", they were most likely demons of level 57 or above. Such merit is enough to be featured in the Adventurer's Weekly.
In fact, Linda only found out about Bai Luo's advancement to the Saint rank today; she was too low-key.
Bai Luo pulled up the shoulder straps of her dress, but the shocking sight of the wound was etched into Lin Da's mind and wouldn't leave.
The fact that it could torment a Saint-level adventurer to the point of looking haggard shows just how unbearable it is to be afflicted by the Dark Corruption.
Damn demons, I will never forgive you!
Linda took a deep breath, her heart filled with icy coldness.
"Be careful when you go to the 30th floor in the future."
Bai Luo solemnly said, "At least two of the Demon Clan's twelve familiars are on the 30th floor. I was injured by a woman with long pink hair. She wielded a spear, and her race was that of a succubus. She was easily recognizable by the sheep-like horns on her head. If you encounter her, you must run!"
A succubus with long pink hair.
Linda's eyelids twitched.
There are many succubi among the demon race, what a coincidence!
Having memorized the characteristics of this member of the Twelve Kin, Linda glanced secretly at Bai Luo's left shoulder. This injury needed to be treated as soon as possible; every day it was delayed would drain Bai Luo's life force.
Admittedly, darkness and corruption can only be suppressed, not eradicated.
However, a very small number of magical items can cure darkness and corruption.
Linda happened to have one of those on her.
After making the decision, he felt much relieved.
Changing the subject, Linda said, "By the way, I've been asked by Anna to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of the Dark Shadow. I heard you used to be one of his team members. Do you have any leads? Let's share our information and discuss it together."
Linda revealed another purpose for her visit.
Besides fulfilling her promise to Bai Luo and purifying her friends, Linda also wanted to know how many clues Bai Luo had about the disappearance of the Dark Shadow.
The threat from the Dragon's Tomb is obvious, so there's no need to worry too much. But the mastermind behind it all is like an impenetrable fog. The higher Linda's level and the closer she is to the capital, the stronger her unease becomes.
A huge shadow is approaching.
"If you have any leads, please let us know!"
In order to gain Bai Luo's trust, Lin Da first revealed the clues on his side.
—Lord Lengyue betrayed the enemy and entrusted Lulu and others to go to the southern region of Cangqing Province to find the Shadow of Darkness.
Many of those clients were witches.
But he obeys Lord Lengyue!
If Lulu hadn't been purified by him, she might have returned to the capital to report to Lord Lengyue. The Frostwolf tribe was, in a sense, a savior, severing the connection between the two. Of course, Lord Lengyue and Lulu didn't "know" each other; they didn't meet directly but communicated through an intermediary. This prevented the capital from discovering Lord Lengyue's relationship with the witch.
This woman is highly suspicious.
After listening to Linda's story, Bai Luo frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
She murmured, "So that's it, Evelyn really betrayed us."
The evidence Linda brought confirmed one of her ideas.
"I didn't believe everything you said, but it's very helpful."
Bai Luo pondered, "Lord Leng Yue specifically sent people to the southern part of Cangqing Province. Could it be that there are traces of our teacher there? If that's the case, then I've been searching in the wrong direction all along?"
"Can you tell me now what leads you have?"
"certainly."
Bai Luo nodded, holding up three fingers: "There are three people who are most likely involved in this matter. First and foremost, just as you thought, I also believe it is Lady Cold Moon, Evelyn."
"Oh? Why?"
Linda and her teammates all straightened up.
If Evelyn is really the mastermind behind this, then we're in big trouble.
"Last year, five freshmen received a ten-star rating in the Ice Abyss. Luo Manli and Wogang's identities are clear, but I've never heard of the other three. So, I secretly investigated them for a while."
