    In the caravan, atop the small wagon of the White Wolf Mercenary Group.


    Lisy on top of the luggage, while the guards left behind by the mercenary group carefully drove the horses, trying to reduce the bumps as much as possible.


    Since Liz and Cress were on his wagon, he could only rest here.


    When they set off in the morning, he took the opportunity to check on the carriage, and both Liz and Cress were fine.


    He instructed the coachman to put two portions of food in front of the carriage at a set time each day, and the coachman arranged by the caravan nodded repeatedly, sensibly not asking for any exnation.


    They had left Kuka City for half a day, and if nothing out of the ordinary happened, Viscount Kuka was not likely toe looking for them again.


    Lis raised his hand and observed the ck ring in the sunlight.


    The ck luster flowed, and it seemed that indiscernible gray streams would sh by from time to time.


    Lis''s system panel had already disyed the information for this ring.


    -----------------


    [You have obtained the [Sealing Magic Ring]]


    [essory: [Sealing Magic Ring]


    Description: An ordinary-looking ring at first nce, which seems to hide some special secret.


    Equipment Effect 1: Charm Attribute +20


    Equipment Effect 2: Abnormal Mental State Resistance +10%]


    -----------------


    As a Silver Level piece of equipment, the effects of this [Sealing Magic Ring] were quite ordinary.


    However, being an essory, it could stille in handy for the average yer.


    But, Lis knew this was a disguise.


    The real secret of this ring was the Nether River Memory Stealing Demon sealed within it.


    In the past life game dungeon, if a yer helped Cressplete her vengeance, in the settlement CG, the yer could learn how Cress made a contract with the Nether River Memory Stealing Demon and step by step reached this situation.


    In the end, yers would receive a [Damaged Demon Sealing Ring] from Cress as a gift, but this piece of equipment was already damaged due to the Memory Stealer''s breach and had lost all effectiveness, serving merely as amon keepsake.@@novelbin@@


    Lis fiddled with the ring in his hand, who could imagine that a devil from Hell was hiding within this ordinary ring?


    And who could have crafted it, it surely couldn''t have been an elder from the Cresce family?


    Lis nced at the sky; half a day had passed since they left Kuka City in the morning, and it should be about time.


    Lis stood up, jumped down from the wagon, greeted the mercenaries, and ran toward the left side of the caravan.


    He found a quiet ce, ready to further investigate this ring.


    Having moved away from the range of the caravan''s guards and the mercenary scouts, Lis stood at the foot of a small hill, surrounded by disordered rocks and overgrown weeds, proof that few people passed through here.


    After arranging his surroundings, Lis threw the [Sealing Magic Ring] onto the ground in front of him, prepared to unlock its seal.


    In the past life, it was when Cress fell into extreme grief and anger after Liz''s death.


    It was these copsing emotions that awakened the sealed Nether River Memory Stealing Demon, who then appeared and made a deal with Cress.


    Cress received strength from the Nether River Memory Stealing Demon and advanced to the Silver Rank.


    The Memory Stealer also broke the seal of the [Sealing Magic Ring] with Cress''s help and acquired Cress''s soul.


    ```


    That said, the "Memory Stealer" sealed within this "Demon Sealing Ring" was also very special.


    Memory Stealers are almost solely found in the Nether River, which is in the firstyer of Hell. It''s not clear whether it''s the influence of the Nether River Essence or just their nature, but they are wildly insane, more like demons than devils.


    However, this one in the "Sealing Magic Ring" was an exception, as sly and cunning as a regr devil.


    Lis didn''t have any extreme emotions to awaken the Nether River Memory Stealing Demon, so he could only try other methods.


    For instance, directly destroying the ring!


    That way, the Memory Stealer sealed within it would naturally manifest.


    Unfortunately, Lis didn''t know how to cast the "Great Fragmentation Skill" yet, or it would have been quite convenient.


    Lis had already tested it, and the ring''s magic resistance was pretty high, presumably to limit the devil inside.


    If I can''t use magic, I still have my sword!


    Physical attacks never be obsolete!


    Lis took out a longsword from his storage ring and casually used his specialized arcane, "Lis''s Blue me Demon Sword."


    This Sixth Circle arcane came with Blue me that could reduce 30% of Physical Defense and Magic Resistance, which should also prove useful.


    The fine steel longsword in Lis''s hands was no ordinary item. It was a Gold Level Alchemy Longsword obtained from the First Magic Workshop. It had no special buffs, but its distinction was in its sharpness and solidity, capable of withstanding the buffs of Lis''s arcane.


    Lis slightly lifted the longsword, which zed with blue mes, and violently shed it down on the ck ring on the ground.


    ng~


    Contrary to Lis''s expectations, it was unclear whether the ring had been in existence for too long. Although the magic effect was still active, the material had be somewhat brittle.


    With almost no resistance, Lis easily chopped the ring into two pieces.


    A faint grey mist rose from the ring on the ground, spreading before Lis''s eyes.


    Lis noticed a rich, dark grey shadow emerging from within the ring. Once the shadow appeared, the ring on the ground turned entirely into dust.


    Without any hesitation, the shadow dashed toward a distance, trying to get as far away from Lis as possible.


    That must be the Nether River Memory Stealer that was sealed inside the "Sealing Magic Ring."


    But this fellow seemed very cunning; it didn''t hesitate at all to flee the scene as soon as it was released from the seal.


    But Lis wasn''t in any hurry.


    The shadow seemed to hit an invisible ss wall and stopped right there in mid-air.


    "Don''t even think about escaping. I have already set up a magic array to contain you here," Lis stood still and calmly spoke to the shadow.


    The shadow in mid-air shuddered, and all the grey mist in the space began to condense above it.


    As the grey mist continued to pour in and get absorbed, the shadow gradually revealed its true form.


    A nearly three-meter-tall figure stood before Lis, with nearly transparent blue skin. Through the skin, the blood-red blood could be seen coursing through therge veins. With a strong body and thick arms, a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth, and two thick horns stretching from the forehead, his devilish identity was evident.


    Its palms featured hook-like talons, and a pair of giant bat-like wings sprouted from its muscr back. Its lower body resembled that of a slug. Stay updated via empire


    A genuine Nether River Memory Stealer!


    Lis was not unfamiliar with it, as in his past life during the 5.0 main storyline "Abyssal Assault," yers received missions to delve into Hell and the Abyss, and these creatures in the Nether River of the firstyer of Hell were the first major challenge.


    Even so, it... it''s still really ugly!
