Lanci bit his lip, his eyes filled with profound sympathy.
In his mind, the gaze of his dying Demon mother lingered.
"...Is there really no hope?"
Talia rarely saw Lanci so resolutely admit that there were people he couldn't save.
She also knew making this decision was a huge upheaval for Lanci.
"Lanci, do you still remember the first time in Shadow World, the backstory of Purgatory Corridor Academy?"
Lanci asked Talia in a hoarse voice.
"I remember vaguely."
Talia had also seen the records of Shadow World involving Lanci and Hyperion.
The whole story revolved around two key figures, the Blood Clan Messenger and the Special Envoy from Demon King's Castle.
Under the historical backdrop of that time, there was a treaty named "North-South Contract," a "non-interference treaty between the Blood Clan and Demon Race."
In that chaotic era, the masters of the Blood Clan ruled the south while many kings of human realms became slaves to the Blood Clan.
