"But none of that is bad news. The real bad news is that the demon itself has not turned into a weapon. It is now holding an Angel Level Demon Sword—yes, a genuine Angel Level one. Do you remember the Demon Sword we encountered together on the Snow Mountain the night the diviner obtained the Spirit Rune? That one."
The Doctor, dressed in pajamas, leaned against the reception room doorframe and covered his forehead with a sigh:
"There is too much information. Wait a moment—I'll have someone prepare tea, and then you can tell me everything that happened tonight in detail."
What had happened tonight was not complicated. Moreover, Shade had already spoken about what he had seen near the Snow Mountain when they were at Carnation House a few days ago. After a brief account, the Doctor roughly understood what had happened.
He frowned:
"From your description, that demon definitely did not appear by accident tonight. We can even assume that the Angel Level Demon Sword itself was released by the demon. Otherwise, the timing of its appearance tonight was far too convenient."
Shade gently stroked the cat. By then, a teapot and steaming teacups had already been set on the tea table:
"Yes, but the Demon Sword probably was not brought to the island by the demon. The Unicorn's injuries are old, and the demon must have been on the island for more than five years. The rumors about the Demon Sword, meanwhile, only appeared before this year's Year-End Festival.
"According to the local black market, the Demon Sword was brought to the island by an outsider. I suspect the demon that had already been on the island discovered the sword, then took control of it and hoped it would quickly multiply until all thirteen swords were complete.
