I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Roland was sure this was Wallace, but he said, "How can I be sure you're Wallace and not that abyssal demon? Hmm, I'd better just dispose of you to be safe."

"Damn it! That bastard was already weak enough. If it splits off another soul, it'll dissipate completely. I'm really not it!"

Roland stroked his chin and said, "You saying you've been a servant to Catherine's family for over a hundred years is just nonsense! Unless you can tell me a personal secret of Catherine's, I won't believe you."

Wallace became conflicted, seemingly very afraid of Catherine.

No wonder, Alexandra's witch has backing in Hell. Even if Wallace returns to Hell, he won't be able to escape Catherine's palm.

Catherine is Wallace's genuine master.

After hesitating for a moment, a resolute look appeared on Wallace's face, and he said very firmly, "I will never betray Miss! But I can tell you some secrets about Anna—have you ever seen 'Anna' cast magic?"

Roland's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I have… In Fern Gully, she cast high-level lightning magic and rescued Claire and Karl."

Wallace said, "Anna does possess extraordinary magic, but with her sanity, it's impossible for her to cast spells. So, whenever you see her eyes clear and her mind lucid, it means—I can't say anymore. I can't reveal Miss's secrets, I can only say some secrets about Anna."

Roland understood.

Wallace, that devil, kept saying he couldn't betray his master and wouldn't reveal Catherine's secrets, but everything he said was Catherine's secret—it wasn't hard to guess that Catherine occasionally borrows Anna's body!

Wallace didn't say a single thing about Catherine's secrets, but he told Roland everything.

Roland wondered about the way Anna looked when she found him in Fern Gully when he was escaping earlier.

No wonder she seemed like a different person back then!

Thinking back, when he was fighting Anna in the cabin, the instructor probably learned about the mermaid fruit and other things from Anna's eyes.

Anna possesses very powerful magic. It's just that she can't control it herself. But once Catherine splits off a consciousness and occupies her body, Anna will transform into a terrifying witch!

‘I wonder if everyone can survive…'

Shaking his head, Roland looked at Wallace again and said somewhat displeased, "Wallace, you're a coward. You kept saying you'd fight the enemy with me, but you played dead halfway through…

Are you comfortable lying here?"

Wallace trembled in fright and hurriedly explained, "Roland, you overestimate my abilities. First of all, I'm a devil under a demon god in Hell, not some god.

Secondly, the way I came to the human world was through reincarnation, not a true descent! I am essentially a reincarnated devil with some special abilities, but also with great limitations. I can only display the strength of a mid-level apprentice. And I can get sick, feel pain, and die—I just won't die if my head is gone.

Finally, just because I won't die if my head is gone doesn't mean I have complete combat power without my head. After losing my head, what I can do is very limited.

I do have selfish motives. I figured I definitely couldn't beat it. So I immediately fell into a deep sleep. I thought you would run, who knew you would fight it head-on!"

After being headshot, Wallace immediately fell into a deep sleep to avoid being discovered by the abyssal demon. It wasn't until the abyssal demon died and the abyssal aura in the hall became less and less that Wallace gradually woke up.

As Wallace said, he was just harder to kill compared to a normal human.

He knew that in a critical situation, he wouldn't die if he took a hit. But Roland would really die if he took a hit.

And if Roland died, but he was still alive and well, considering how much Miss treasures this student, it would be best if he saved him. So Wallace took a hit for Roland.

Wallace continued, "According to the situation at the time, you had no chance to take my body away. So after I fell, I didn't dare to make a sound and could only fall into a deep sleep. I thought that thing would be lured away by you, and you would hide and delay. After that, whichever of us survived would depend on our own abilities…

I'm the one who least wants it to win! If that guy wins, my end will be incredibly miserable!"

Wallace was actually telling a small lie. After losing his head, although he would be greatly affected, it wouldn't be to the point where he couldn't do anything.

The essence of the matter was that Wallace was afraid of fighting. He found that the opponent was more difficult to deal with than he thought, felt that the chances of winning were slim, so he took the opportunity to save Roland and played dead.

So Roland was right, Wallace was a coward, losing his will to fight after seeing the slim chance of winning.

Roland could hear Wallace's little lies.

Roland thought to himself, ‘This guy, it's true that he fell into a deep sleep, otherwise the demon wouldn't have noticed anything when searching his package and when I used him to set a trap. But his original plan was to fall into a deep sleep first, and after me and the demon ran far away, spend a lot of money to temporarily restore his mobility, and then find a place to hide… This greedy and fearful old fox!'

Roland guessed the situation pretty accurately. However, he saw through it but didn't expose it.

Wallace was afraid of death, and he was also afraid of death. Everyone has their own ambitions, he could overcome fear and face death directly, but he couldn't expect his teammates to also overcome fear.

To be honest, he wouldn't have won today without Wallace. He provided a lot of key information and gave him a push—Wallace was a demon merchant, a strategist, not a warrior. As a strategist, he had already done very well.

Recalling the push Wallace gave him back then, Roland's eyes softened.

"Wallace, aren't you going to ask me how I dealt with that demon?"

Wallace's expression became very serious, and he said, "Roland, first of all, I'm not a real wizard, I don't have curiosity. Secondly, you are Miss's student and a member of the Aleyer family, no matter what means you have, I won't be surprised. As for the last…"

He paused for a moment and looked at Roland very seriously, "Finally, I want to correct one point. That abyssal demon was clearly dealt with by both you and me, not just you alone! Now that I'm seriously injured after killing the abyssal demon, you can't kill me to take all the credit, to tell others that you killed the demon alone!"

Roland couldn't help but reveal an admiring look in his eyes.

Wallace was very discerning and very smart.

Roland originally couldn't bear to attack this person who had saved him once, and now after hearing his words, he had even less intention of silencing him.

He straightened Wallace's body and said, "Lord Wallace, I'll borrow your things for now, and I'll return them all when we get back."

Wallace breathed a great sigh of relief and said, "Take them all, consider it the fee for helping me collect my corpse."

Roland didn't plan to take his things. He had already gained enough, there was no need to steal his teammate's things.
