In a desolate landscape enshrouded in darkness, a lone, luxurious library stood.
Inside the library, a petite demon suddenly raised its head, looking towards the endless Void.
"With but a glance, I pierced through the disorderly fabric of time and space, thoughts traversing in an instant, how terrifying!" a deep voice said, trembling noticeably, "Indeed, it was wise not to have left a mark on him back then."
This petite demon was none other than the Cruel Scholar.
When his statue, the item of descent, was drenched in Angel's blood, the Cruel Scholar had already sensed it. Initially thinking that Angel planned to use the item of descent, he preemptively attached his consciousness to it.
Likewise, he secretly lured Popota to persuade Angel to use the item of descent.
However, in the end, Angel still had no intention of interacting with the item of descent, let alone activating it.
As the Cruel Scholar regretted this, Angel confronted the avatar of the Lord of the Flameless.
