Chapter 134 - Whitemore City

'This is not good… If there are multiple demons coming out… There might be huge trouble…' Cyril imagined hundreds of demons appearing in this world as they rushed to gain worshippers and corrupt all beings.

He didn't really want to help. However, Selma already had an idea after he misspoke about the Artifact where Magenta was previously sealed.

She already knows that being sealed inside an Artifact then going out of the Arcane World is a good idea.

With this in mind, he either has to stop them or… control them instead!

"The problem now is the conditions for getting out of the Artifact…" Selma muttered as she's now planning to return to her Arcane or Prison World.

She's still tied within that world and the longer she stays here, the more damage it does to her body.

'Magenta… What did she mean by that?' Cyril asked the cat secretly. It would break his image as a stronger individual if he asked Selma about the conditions she's talking about.

'Master, just like when I was sealed inside the Genie Lamp, at that time, about 90% of my powers were sealed. To get out, I had to consume a huge amount of energy. The thing is that I must receive the energy, not through forceful actions but it must be done voluntarily…'

'I see… So that's why you chose an artifact that makes you grant wishes…'

'That's right, master… However, because you also allowed me to consume mountains of Red Prite Ores, you made it a lot easier for me.'

Cyril nodded at this explanation and thought of an idea.

"Selma, about your problem, how about I help you guys fulfill your conditions to get out of your Artifacts?"

"Really?! Though that would be difficult. After all, we would have different conditions depending on the Artifact we were sealed in... Is that really fine?"

"Yes, I'll do something about it. However, I must have something in return… Just like how I saved this small demoness…" Cyril replied as he caressed the cat on his lap.

He can't let Selma leave just yet.

After all, the Arcane World where her clan is located must be a high-class Arcane World!

There was no way a low-class world would have tons of demons inside them! No lower-rank Awakened could survive that.

"Tell me, what's the condition?" Selma asked seriously. She didn't think that there's something wrong with this and trusts Cyril for a bit.

After all, the Corruptor Cat Demon is proof of his skills in keeping his promises.

"Just serve me for a while. Hmm… It wouldn't be long, just a couple of decades or more depending on the conversation once I managed to unseal you in your Artifacts… After that, you'll be free…" Cyril offered. The demons can live for thousands of years so serving him for a couple of decades shouldn't be a huge problem for them.

Of course, it is still a question what "being free" means on Cyril's side.

Anyway, they probably wouldn't want to get help from normal humans as well. So getting his help should be the best decision they could make.

"A couple of decades? There shouldn't be a problem, I will discuss it with the other members of my Clan."

"That's good. It's a pity if they get trapped in their Artifacts for too long or perhaps die together with the Arcane World they're in… So make sure to convince them." Cyril added.

He confirmed from Selma previously that once their Arcane World was destroyed, no demons would be able to get out.

They will perish together with that world, unlike the normal magical creatures that would be able to get out and create an outbreak to the human world after.

It appears that these demons are tied to the Arcane World. Even if Selma gets out before the destruction, she wouldn't be able to escape her death at all.

This is why she had been searching for a method to permanently stay in his human world for a long time now.

After finishing their discussion, Selma let Cyril know about the location of her Entrance Crystal.

He learned that the place was actually very far so he decided to inform Bonnie about it.

"Whitemore City? Isn't that too far? It's already late at night… It's difficult to drive that far. There are also no more trains available… You should go tomorrow morning. Just let her sleep in one of our vacant rooms."

Cyril scratched his head as he doesn't know where to start his explanation. However, her aunt was correct. There are indeed no trains that would bring them to the city…

'Master… I can carry you to that place. As for Selma, I'm sure she can do it as well.' Magenta whispered to his ears.

'Oh... Thanks for informing me… But let's not resort to that yet.' He answered.

"Selma… What do you think?" Cyril asked the demoness' opinion first.

"I can stay here if you'd like. I can also just wait somewhere outside. The place where the Entrance Crystal is located is quite tricky… So I have to guide you there."

"Got it… Let's not leave tonight. I can't let you stay here. I'll meet you tomorrow morning."

Cyril then made an arrangement for the next day before he sent the demoness outside. Well, he's not comfortable sleeping here knowing that a demon race, not bound to him, is staying under the same roof. He had to send her away.

On the next day, the two traveled together which took almost five hours before they arrived.

"This is my first time coming here… I wonder if I can find more Entrance Crystals around this place." Cyril muttered to himself thinking whether to pull out his Crystal Hunter.

Right now, he's wearing a hooded jacket while a black cat follows him. As for Selma, she's already wearing a mask covering the tattoo mark on her face since it's getting too much attention.

"Follow me…"

Selma said as she lead the way to the central part of the city.

None of them appears to notice that someone was following their trail.
