Annie was having so much fun that she unknowingly shaped Balliard's spiritual body into a bear...

"...I had a lot of fun."

Valyard didn't have any other comments, he just threw Thresh's mask away.

"The rest of us are leaving first. If you want to go back, just pinch my clone back to its original shape. I will connect to this clone when the time comes."

Although Balliard threw out that part of the spirit body, he did not control that part of the spirit body, because control means having senses.

It's enough to see your spirit body being pinched away by someone, there's no need to feel that feeling.

"OK."

Anne didn't take Balliard's words to heart at all and was still playing with the bear. Balliard didn't know what happened to Anne, even the fur was pinched out.

"Let's go, boss, where is the exit? The place we came in from has probably been repaired."

Seeing this, Balliard didn't say much. Although he was turned into a bear, it was... very satisfying.

Wasn't Tibbs very arrogant before? Now let's see if Annie wants to hug you, the mechanical bear, or the shaggy brown bear she made.

Obviously the latter is more comfortable to hold, and part of the meaning of Tibbs' life is about to be taken away again.

"Follow me."

Darius put away his weapon, and there should be no enemies left next.

Valyard and Yasuo naturally left with Darius.

As for Annie, she hugged the huge "brown bear" and felt the furry touch. After waiting for a while, she secretly carried the brown bear downstairs.

Outside this building, a door appeared out of thin air.

"Is this the door?"

Anne hugged Balliard's clone, put Thresh's mask on the bear's face, and walked into the door.

Pinch it back? Why? You don’t want it! You can obviously hold a big bear and sit on its shoulders, why do you want to be with a person?

For such a big person (?), it would be too embarrassing for an adult to carry him when he goes out. However, no one would gossip behind him while sitting on his "pet".

"It seems you have passed the test."

Kieran appeared silently behind Annie. It was still sunrise at this moment, but it was only sunrise a few days later.

He set the time for the returning priest to appear, so he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Well, that trial wasn't fun at all... Let's go! Balliard!"

Anne turned around and jumped on Balliard's shoulders and sat down, and Balliard, the moment Anne put on the mask, connected his consciousness with this body.

"Roar?"

Valliard wanted to express his dissatisfaction, but now he was turned into a bear, and Kieran was right in front of him. He couldn't speak directly, could he?

"Ballyard? Is this your brother?"

Kieran was a little confused. Although basically only the priest survived every mask trial and came back alone, there were cases where followers survived with the priest.

But... where did a bear come from?

Many people can understand, but there are many bears... Kieran tried to spy on the timeline of this bear. Unexpectedly, he couldn't see anything, just like when he spied on Annie's brother.

"Of course not. This is... that strong guy. He put on a mask, and then he turned into a bear. He couldn't speak yet, and he was a big stupid bear! Hehe -"

Anne patted Balliard's head as if stroking the head of her own pet.

"Don't you think it's inappropriate to name a pet after your brother?"

It was Kieran, and he also raised questions about Annie's behavior. If you give a pet this name, do you like your brother, or do you hate your brother?

"Forget it, just come back and go find Diana. Next, you have to learn more knowledge."

Kieran knew that Annie had a bear that looked like a demon. Although it had a mechanical body, it fully demonstrated Annie's connection with hell.

The current bear may be the manifestation of the bear in hell, similar to the mechanical bear. However, the mechanical bear may be a part of the soul with a machine as its body, and now, it uses its own soul to corrode and transform mortals.

body of.

The most important thing is that the power of this bear seems to be the power of the Hellfire Demon. Although I can't see through it now, it may be because the power of the bear is too strong. Who could it be? Lord of Ashes

?

"Do you want to study again?"

Annie had a bitter look on her face. Although Kieran in this world line seemed to be a bad guy, Kieran didn't treat her badly. On the contrary, he was very kind to her.

"Don't think I don't know. You basically didn't listen to what Diana taught you before."

Kieran turned around and left. You obviously didn't listen and didn't learn the knowledge. Can you please don't act like this? It's not like no one knows what you are doing, or are you not even willing to pretend?

"Um—Ballyard, go this way."

Annie pouted, as if she was an aroused puffer fish. Isn't it said that this kind of grandfather loves little girls? Why did he even agree to such a small request?

"Roar?"

Balliard felt that there were other people nearby, but he still did not dare to speak. He did not know what his identity was in Kieran's eyes, nor did he know the specific details of the identity that Anne had defined for him.

Anyway, just pretend to be Tibbers, just enough to disgust the bear.

Under Anne's guidance, Balliard still spent some time walking to Diana, because there was really a lot that happened along the way.

The bear that Annie pinched was too big. Balliard was not used to moving in this size at all, not to mention that he was now holding a remote control to remotely control the body. The operation was not particularly special.

Fine, with such a large body, it is easier to cause sao.

Although he didn't count carefully, there seemed to be more than a dozen pillars broken by him, and several walls were crushed due to Balliard's current broad body.

When I entered the door just now, the door was pushed directly from the wall.

Although this temple is of great significance, the materials used to build it are still ordinary materials and cannot withstand attacks at the level of extraordinary beings.

"Annie? What is this bear? A demon?"

Diana was responsible for teaching Anne, so she naturally knew that Anne had

After going through the mask trial, and now appearing here, it means that Annie successfully passed the trial.

But... what about the mask? There is no precedent that anyone can take off the mask immediately after passing the mask trial, not even Diana.

"He...is my follower. He put on a mask and now he has become my demon bear pet. Isn't it great?"

Anne jumped down and proudly displayed her pet in front of Diana, but as the one being displayed, Balliard was not in a good mood.

"Yasuo always lets demons attach themselves to the sword. It would be better for you to just let the demons attach themselves to other people."

Diana took off her mask, revealing her bright face,

"Kieran asked you to come? Come with me. The next thing you have to learn is the knowledge about demons."

Diana did not ask Anne what happened during the mask trial. No matter what, the things that happened inside would have a great impact on Anne. It seems that it is still the same as before. Maybe Anne's mind is the same as that of other priests.

Twisted.

Is the bear in front of me a follower? Or a group of followers?

"Knowledge about demons?"

Anne took Balliard's big hand and followed Diana,

"Are you going to the fifth floor?"

The fifth floor is where official priests study scriptures, and on the third floor, there are almost no books related to demons. Diana said that she was asked to learn the knowledge of demons, so it should be the fifth floor.

"Yes, the fifth level, study the teachings left by the great Master Ryze."

Diana spoke of greatness as if nothing had happened, talking about Ryze's greatness, but in fact she didn't care.

"Ritz?"

Annie was surprised. She didn't know that the Blood Moon Sect was related to Ryze. Thresh didn't mention this when he told the story of Ryze in this world.

Although Balliard was surprised, he already had some guesses. He had long thought that the Blood Moon Sect was related to Ryze, but he didn't know that Ryze's status in the Blood Moon Sect was so high.

"Yes, that's the demon mage. I heard he's still alive, but I don't know where he's hiding."

Diana didn't like Ryze, and it was because of this that Ryze was hiding in a corner of Runeterra. No matter what the Blood Moon Sect became, that guy never showed up.

"I heard that he was being hunted by the Ash Lord. He is a true god. No wonder he is hiding."

Annie still cleared the stigma of Grandpa Ritz who took care of him. She didn't care what Ritz did in this world, but she didn't want to hear others insult people with that name.

"...where did you hear that?"

Diana looked at Anne strangely. Even the priests who had been to the fifth floor might not know this kind of information, because the book was relatively "secret" and few people would read it.

Books to use as table legs.

"Ballyard told me, don't look at this bear looking stupid, he can talk."

Anne directly sold Balliard. Although the person who told her the news was Thresh, Thresh is now in Balliard's face.

"……demon."
