Shane shook his head.
"I don't know the ins and outs of this," Shane said outright. "I only know that Lasha is not as simple as she seems on the surface, but rather has a significant background, right?"
There was no doubt about that.
So far, how many people had shown a state of bewilderment that was hard for ordinary people to encounter or even believe after meeting Lasha?
Moreover, those people were all influential figures capable of having a tremendous impact on this world.
Ai Yi was one of them.
Even Elf Queen Sophie was no exception.
The attitudes of these great figures from various clans and nations toward Lasha had been strange and at times outright improper.
Even Sera was like that, with the Three Great Goddesses of the Divine Race subtly showing their concern for Lasha—how could this not arouse Shane's suspicion?
Shane hadn't pursued it further, but that didn't mean he didn't take these exceptions seriously.
His eyes had no problem, his mind wasn't broken; having seen others lose their composure in front of Lasha so many times, even a fool could guess there was a reason behind it.
Shane had guessed a bit about Lasha's origins.
"Tell me, Lady," Shane said, looking straight at Laischa, "Lasha's secrets wouldn't have something to do with the Demon King, would they?"
That was the most logical guess.
If it weren't related to the Demon King, why would Ai Yi and others behave so improperly?
If it weren't related to the Demon King, why did Luoqi and others' faces become so grave every time they mentioned Lasha?
Adding to that, Laischa had mentioned something related to the Demon King in the Royal Palace ten years ago; Shane boldly speculated that this thing might be on Lasha.
Laischa finally admitted to it.
"You know, it was after leaving the Royal Palace and ending that large-scale assassination incident that I used Life Creation Magic to create Lasha," Laischa said in a low voice: "Has Lasha told you about this?"
"She mentioned it a little," Shane nodded and said. "She said your original intention was to create someone to help you in combat against the pursuit of the Old Demon Clan Faction during your escape, so you used your own appearance as a model to create her."
After the large-scale assassination incident ten years ago, as one of the participants, Laischa not only stole items related to the Demon King from the Royal Palace but also defected from the Slaughterer Faction of the Old Demon Clan Faction and fled far away.
At that time, the Kingdom did not dare to pursue her too openly for fear of the Demon King artifact in Laischa's hands.
But the Slaughterer Faction of the Old Demon Clan was different; they could not overlook Laischa, who had taken the Demon King's items and betrayed them.
For Laischa to want to create a combatant to deal with such a faction was understandable.
Unfortunately, in the end, the Magic Life she created in her own image had no combat ability.
"Depending on the materials used to create it, the Magic Life created with Life Creation Magic may not necessarily have combat ability, and Lasha is just such a case, right?"
Shane articulated the underlying reason.
Life Creation Magic, this power used to create Magic Life, has too many unstable factors. Perfect control of it to create the Magic Life one wants is a task that requires both ability and skill, as well as luck.
If one's mastery of Life Creation Magic isn't high, they can't create the Magic Life they want.
With bad luck, they equally can't create the Magic Life they want.
Even the different materials used for creation, a slight error could lead to the creation of a Magic Life completely different from what was intended.
This is the biggest drawback of Life Creation Magic, it's extremely unstable.
Shane had seen someone who used this magic the best among the people he had encountered—it was Danass, the leader of "Mirage" he once met in Cosmos.
He was able to train Life Creation Magic to the maximum level, consuming countless precious materials to create four Demon Warriors above level eighty and even create the Jade Magic Life, a feat truly worthy of being called a great achievement.
Shane didn't know how much effort he had put into this, nor how many precious materials he had expended for those Demon Warriors, but he was certain there was only one person in the world capable of utilizing Life Creation Magic to such a degree.
Shane even had a feeling that this person would be a formidable enemy beyond imagination.
Laischa was different.
The magic she truly practiced was limited to Space Magic and Gravity Magic; she could use other types only because of her Unique Skill.
Lasha had once mentioned Laischa's Unique Skill to Shane.
"It allows the dismissal of all magic's chanting and preparatory steps, relying solely on pure imagination to fulfill all conditions for casting magic, augmenting, expanding, energizing, and even simulating it."
"That is the lady's Unique Skill—[Magic God's Favor]."
The existence of this Unique Skill not only made Laischa extraordinarily superior in the use of magic, allowing her to forego even the chanting of spells, but also to enhance, amplify, and widen the power of magic. Eventually, she could simulate and reproduce any type of magic after seeing it just once, enabling Laischa to use all kinds of magic.
Therefore, Laischa was a magical prodigy more exaggerated than any from the Elf Clan, a born Mage, whose talent and usage of magic, just like the name of her Unique Skill, seemed as if she were under the God of Magic's favor—extremely astonishing.
It was because of this that Laischa's Level might not yet have reached Level 80, and the Level of her learned Magic Skills was only Level 7. Yet the power and effect of her magic far surpassed that of the same level ones, particularly Space Magic, which was unreasonably powerful as if she were cheating.
However, when Laischa used magic she hadn't learned herself, the power and effect of the cast magic would certainly not compare to that of her learned magic.
From this, it could be seen that the Life Creation Magic Laischa used at the time was at best Intermediate, not even reaching Upper Level.
Such created Magic Life would differ greatly from what she had envisioned, which was understandable.
Laischa should be grateful that, at the very least, Lasha wasn't deformed.
After all, many who used Life Creation Magic ended up producing deformed monsters.
Thinking , Shane had no idea that Lasha could never be deformed.
Because her appearance had already been set when Laischa decided on the materials to use.
"Do you know what material I used?"
Laischa posed this question.
Shane also had his speculations.
"It's that thing you stole from the Royal Palace, right?"
Laischa nodded her head, affirming it.
It was because of this that Lasha was so extraordinary.
It was because of this that Lasha drew the attention of so many.
But the reason why she caused so many great figures to lose their composure was another matter entirely.
"A thousand years ago, after the Demon King was subdued by the Hero Mitra and the Supreme God Ominis cut off his possibility of resurrection, the abyss-like endless Magic Power within him dissipated, leaving only a corpse on the battlefield."
Laischa's voice reached Shane's ears.
"Then, Hero Mitra established the Mitra Kingdom on that final battle's ground and founded the Royal Capital on the land where he had defeated the Demon King."
The Royal Palace on Lake Heart Island, and that vast lake encompassing it, was actually the site where Hero Mitra had finished off the Demon King.
The lake itself was leftover from that battle.
"And the Demon King's corpse left there was taken back to the Royal Palace by Hero Mitra, sealed in the deepest part of the palace's underground, never leaving that place in a thousand years."
Laischa's words sent a shiver down Shane's spine.
His mind birthed an incredibly shocking thought.
And Laischa's next words confirmed that thought.
"What I took from the Royal Palace was the sealed body of the Demon King."
Laischa spoke with a complex tone.
"Lasha is a Magic Life created from the Demon King's corpse."
