393 Dekan and Friends' Memories
"Come back soon, my invincible Talomati."
Dekan shouted incomprehensible words.
"Are you treating me like a substitute?"
Talomati frowned slightly and asked.
She also discovered that her current relationship with Dekan was very similar to some of the strange stories Dekan had told her before.
"No, no, you will always be my Tamashi (soul)."
Dekan shook his head.
"I've already said I'm not..."
Talomati was about to retort.
After all, Dekan always said these strange things, leaving her unsure how to respond.
After careful consideration, I realized that I am indeed half of Dekan's soul now, so what Dekan said wasn't wrong...
After taking a deep breath and remaining silent for a long time, Talomati finally sighed:
"If Delois had been as talkative as you back then, we probably would have become enemies long ago."
Back then, neither of the siblings liked to talk.
They never quarreled until they parted ways in the Holy Kingdom.
After recalling her memories, Talomati felt even more that her current relationship with Dekan was quite magical.
Neither Delois nor Talomati could have imagined that their relationship would turn out this way.
I don't understand.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Good.
Talomati shrugged and deactivated his summoning.
As Talomati's figure gradually transformed into starlight, it returned to Dekan's body.
Dekan finally felt the gates of his rapidly draining mana close.
Based on his current seventh-tier magical power...
It's best not to summon Talomati unnecessarily during battle.
Even without her doing anything, the mana consumption to maintain the summoning is already terrifying.
If she were to enter combat mode, her mana consumption would increase exponentially.
Even though she herself possessed the combat power of a ninth-tier demon king.
However, the optimal strategy is to summon her, use her ultimate skill once, and then cancel the summon.
This should also be the limit that Dekan's current magical power can withstand.
Just as Dekan was pondering this...
"Dekan, your eyes!"
Cornelia's sudden surprised voice made him look up in surprise.
"Hey, the color really is different now."
Upon hearing Cornelia's words, the others gradually noticed the change in Dekan's eyes.
Is that so?
Dekan quickly went to the pile of equipment to the side and found a part with a mirror.
He discovered that after Talomati was recalled, his pupils had also turned bluish-gold.
It is no longer the same blue as before.
Whether he is now demonized or Half-Demon, he has not developed golden eyes or heterochromia as before.
His pupils were like golden flames and aquamarine completely fused into lapis lazuli.
Only by summoning Talomati and separating from her will he regain his previous eye color.
Dekan put down the mirror and began to ponder a question.
"So, am I considered a demon or a human now?"
He murmured.
Even Dekan himself was a little confused about this problem.
If it were in the past, when they were outside Tristin City, using the [True Word Blood Pact] to trick Isabel, Dekan could temporarily switch into Half-Demon to ensure that Isabel answered incorrectly.
But even he himself isn't sure of the answer now.
It's neither a hybrid demon nor Half-Demon.
Rather, his demonic self and his human self had become completely intertwined and merged into one.
"It might be a very new species."
Morion pondered for a moment, resting his chin on his hand, and then commented sharply.
However, Morion seemed to have thought of something, and then smiled:
"Actually, if we discuss this seriously, even Delois wouldn't be able to answer it."
Back when he met the shopkeeper in the border town years ago, he knew that this guy was no ordinary person.
Ming had a premonition: teasing that seemingly gentle boy might have more serious consequences than provoking the Resurrection Church.
But a voice inside him seemed to be tempting him, "If you don't get some excitement now, you won't have the chance later."
Ultimately, the desire for fun outweighed reason, and Dekan was completely fooled into buying the entire book, "The Bandit Goblin."
Now that I think about it, if Delois or Morpheus had known about this farce, it would have made them both laugh.
"Whether from a biological or philosophical perspective, Delois is difficult to categorize as either human or demon, but in my personal opinion, his race is relative."
"To humans he is human, to demons he is demon."
This was Morion's final answer.
"Are you talking about Delois or me?"
Dekan for a moment, then questioned.
Moreover, this concept of "racial relativity" seems to be a rather high-EQ way of putting it.
In other words, "He doesn't seem like a human being."
"Look on the bright side, Dekan, from the very beginning, nobody thought you were even human."
Mie comforted him.
She always saw things, but never said anything.
Come to think of it, she was the first among all her companions to accidentally witness Dekan's demonic form.
At that time, Talomati took advantage of Dekan's sleep and secretly used Dekan's body to wander out of the potion laboratory.
As a result, Alice, who was visiting Mie's dormitory, fainted from fright.
Looking back, Mie felt that he had accepted the idea that "Dekan could become a demon" too easily.
Later, Mie discovered that when the other companions gradually discovered Dekan's demonic abilities, their reactions were surprisingly reasonable.
There's not even a sense of incongruity.
Clay even nodded, saying, "Oh, you can really turn into a demon? That's awesome, bro."
"I think the proportion of demons in Dekan is still higher, meow! Meow..."
Cat Teacher always felt like he was being frightened by Dekan.
But after it finished speaking, it thought about it and realized that it seemed that Dekan always talked a big game but never delivered any real action.
I also felt a little guilty.
"Then the proportion of humans should be a bit higher, meow!"
"I think it's 30/70?"
"Speaking of proportions, I remember there was a question on the Demon Academy exam where Dekan chose 100%, and I think that's the question that got him points deducted..."
Hearing their growing discussion, Dekan shook his hand helplessly.
The Demon Realm plants around them, which had suffered from the card-making earlier, gradually began to recover.
However, it seems that no one has noticed yet that he used magic to make the flowers bloom.
This is the only magic that Dekan has ever learned on his own in this lifetime.
From a practical standpoint, it does seem a bit of a waste.
But he felt that this magic was better than any magic that Delois had ever researched in his life.
Exhausted from expending too much mana, Dekan sat down on the ground.
But his expression was unusually relaxed.
