Chapter 11
1
The witch emerged from the shadow of the flames, her entire body covered in a black shadow. Only her blurry figure swayed uncertainly above the gray-white flames.
"What is this, sister?"
"Just two more minutes, sit tight!"
"Sister! How can you endure this?" Nilo raised his scythe above his head and said.
"......" Nana remained silent.
Nilo didn't know that although they were on the brink of battle, no one was at fault until the time arrived. At most, it was just pre-battle preparation.
But Nilo had already swung his scythe, and with one strike, the curved blade slid into the lightning, causing minimal damage.
"Manifestation!"
The witch of misfortune transformed into illusions that appeared on the target, illusions that only they could see. Each illusion repeated and overlapped, lacking reality but inflicting real torment on the mind and body.
At this moment, Nana stood up and suddenly extended several black feather wings from her back. She summoned her scythe in her hand, with the dark elements gathering at the blade. The surging elements seemed to shake the ground, and her black robe fluttered in the air.
Lilith's competitive spirit ignited, and she extended her slightly smaller black wings. The dark fire immediately became active, igniting the flames of misfortune. The physical attack of the witch continued.
Several bright mandrake flowers floated around Nana, the emblem of the Underworld King's family. It was not surprising that they launched long-range cannons from the flower buds as cover. Each flower was a turret, sweeping through the area of flames. When the flames weakened slightly, Nana seized the opportunity to swing her scythe. With a strong blade aura, she broke through the encirclement of lightning, bringing along a long black aura behind the scythe. She stabbed three times in a row, but she still couldn't break through the encirclement of misfortune fire.
Nana didn't turn around. A warrior should never turn their back on the enemy unless the enemy is weak and defenseless. Nana said, "Nilo, notify the reinforcements."
The task of notifying the reinforcements must not be left to him. The flames surrounded the rear, launching an attack on Nilo, aiming to prevent him from sending a support signal.
On the other side, the flames resisted Nana's attacks. After all, two people were manipulating the flames, so there was no need to multitask or be distracted. Moreover, the power of the flames of misfortune was above that of the celestial demon's fire. However, they couldn't harm Nana and Nilo, so they had to suppress the flames. After all, they were messengers of the Underworld and the children of the Underworld King. It was troublesome. Otherwise, if they were to strike, Nana would be in danger and Nilo would definitely be defeated.
"Million Lightning Strikes!" Nana flew into the air, the black aura on her blade still imposing. Her sword strikes were fierce and the speed of the lightning attacks was almost deadly. Moreover, the opponent knew that our abilities surpassed hers, so Nana didn't hold back at all.
"Lilith, has your sister ever visited you?"
"No, my sister has always been with my father for work and has never come to our academy. Why do you ask, Qin Yang?"
"The more I look at your sister, the more familiar she seems. Have I seen her before?"
"Is this the right time to flirt? I told you to go find her in person in the morning. Laziness is a disease!"
Lilith glanced at me fiercely, reminding me seriously that this was not the time.
"Will a messenger who takes off their cloak be punished?"
"I don't know, I've never been a messenger."
"Then I'll take off her cloak."
The flames left a small gap, appearing as if they were slightly distracted. And Nana saw us chatting, consciously or unconsciously swinging her blade towards the gap. The long blade plunged into the gap in the flames, going straight in without any obstacles. Based on experience, Nana knew she had fallen into a trap, but she didn't have time to retract her blade. I had already caught it, firmly holding the blade in my hand, not giving Nana any time to struggle. I signaled Lilith to take off her cloak, holding the blade in my left hand and Lilith's hand in my right hand. If I let go, the fusion of the divine fire would immediately be undone, and there wouldn't be enough time to fuse again before Nilo's signal was sent. It was simply impossible.
Unfortunately, my phone in my pocket just rang.
"Please help me answer the call, it's in the left pocket of my pants, feel for it."
"Oh!" Lilith reached into my pants and felt around.
"Miss, who among the palace beauties is this?" The other side asked respectfully.
"To Uncle Yu Zhe, I am Lilith, not a member of His Majesty's harem."
"Oh? So you're not the one who helped His Majesty answer the phone, and... isn't it a bit strange to be calling at this time of night?" Late at night, when helping a boy answer the phone, adults always think of something evil.
"Anyway, he's busy. Did you find Wenxin's parents?"
"Yes, I did. I have already followed His Majesty's orders and fixed their souls back. Sorry for the trouble, but I won't disturb His Majesty's leisure. See you next time." Yu Zhe said simply and hung up the phone.
"Really, why am I thinking about this?"
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nana, the soul has been successfully fixed back to its original body, and there are still thirty seconds until the agreed time." Lilith said as she forcefully took off Nana's cloak, revealing a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Familiar because I had indeed seen her before, and not just once. She was the girl sent by The Demon Realm to confirm my Demon Dragon identity - that girl. (See Volume 3 for details)
"Long time no see!"
"Your Majesty, Demon Dragon!" Nana put away her knife and knelt down on one knee.
"I guess you've always known who I am, but you still follow your own principles of work."
"I hope you won't be offended."
"Just like your old man's temperament." Or you could say it's like father, like daughter. Both are people who uphold justice.
"Don't worry, he only punishes boys." Lilith casually made a joke.
But Nana had no intention of joking at all and said, "Lily, don't be disrespectful!"
"Hey~~~" I grabbed Lilith by the back of her collar with one hand, lifting her up like a little cat.
"You've eaten up all my dignity, spit it out!"
"If I've eaten it, then I've eaten it. I won't give it back to you. Let go of me!" Lilith struggled desperately, kicking and flailing like a little cat.
"Sister!" Wenxin's parents' souls were clearly marked in Nilo's work book. The next step depended on Nana's decision, but seeing her sister kneeling down on one knee, Nilo was at a loss.
"Half a year ago, when I met you, I felt that you were very outstanding. There's no need for punishment. Nana, is that your name?"
"Nana Guer, Princess of the Underworld, the 116th princess."
"As a descendant of the Demon Dragon, the Qin family has already had thousands of members. The Underworld King has only a little over a hundred children?"
"Father is busy managing the Underworld and has no time to spare."
"The position of the Fist Demon has already been handed over to Yu Zhe. The Underworld King remains the same. He is truly getting stronger with age, but it's also fine. Each demon has their own aspirations. It's just the change of the ten Demon Kings, a change of the times."
I looked up and saw that the snow had stopped.
