Ma Lin, Picicki, and the Fire Demon slowly approached the Pointy-Mouthed Demon, hoping to capture and ideally execute him right there. Having a demon capable of the 'Twilight of Swallowing' spell by their side was simply inviting unease for themselves.
However, when they were only a dozen steps away, the Pointy-Mouthed Demon stood up and said, "I have some errands to run on my own; no need to come looking for me."
Then he ran off like a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
Ma Lin said, "He might know what we're planning."
So they found the other three demons of Mount Ghostfire, explained the situation, and warned them to be very wary of the Pointy-Mouthed Demon.
Upon hearing about the 'Twilight of Swallowing' spell, everyone was startled. After all, these students were all aware that it was a forbidden spell and those who practiced such magic were hidden dangers to the other demons around them.
