Chapter 9

Catching Nana in mid-air, I returned to my motorcycle.

"Why is your landing point always so accurate?"

"With a bit of psychic energy, the motorcycle can automatically run for a while without a driver."

Just as the exploded motorcycle appeared before us, a figure covered in black emerged. Surprisingly, they were unharmed, though their body was charred. While their physical functions seemed largely unaffected, the half of their body that had been shocked by the "blood thunder" was slightly numb and sluggish.

"To defeat them, we need some powerful attacks." Nana gripped her long knife tightly and spun it forcefully. Petals began to rise from beneath the motorcycle—manjusaka flowers, representing the flowers of the other shore.

"This move is more skilled than Lilith's." Xiaoyao had previously described Lilith's manjusaka flowers, and just the speed at which they formed Magic was on a different level.

"I learned from Lilith too." Spirits flowed beneath the flowers, surging with great intensity as they moved in response to the swings of the knife. The spirits gradually transformed into power, infusing the blade with a surging force.

Nana and Lilith used different techniques, but it was the same Magic.

Both sides were riding on motorcycles, and the outcome of our clash would determine life or death.

"What should I do to assist you?"

"Don't let them escape!"

"Oh, that's easy. I'll use 'Thunder Roar'." Activating the contract on my forehead, even though it spanned two worlds, the crack that contained the demonic spear was essentially the same thing.

The demonic spear, "Thunder Roar," was a thunder-based spear. Using it to release the "blood thunder" did not require burning more magical power.

The blood-red thunder flickered faintly, and under the assault of the "blood thunder," the enemy left behind shadows and did not want to be struck again.

But it was beyond their control. The sound of the motorcycle's engine echoed through the city streets, but there was no one in sight. It was suspicious.

"Why are there no people on this street? Were they driven away?"

"The Arbitrator probably intends to intervene. We should clear the area first."

"Shouldn't we do it sooner?"

"This uncle has a bad temper. Who knows when he'll show up."

Concealing the spear behind me, I dodged the first wave of gunfire. Then, I aimed at the weak spot between the two people and immediately revealed the spear. The distance between the two motorcycles was no more than a hundred meters, and realizing this, my actions were godlike.

After being hit by the "blood thunder," their consciousness became disoriented for a few seconds, and their bodies and souls seemed to be separated. Then came the excruciating pain that made one long for death.

However, they could no longer feel the pain. Following the disorientation, Nana's blades shot out vertically. The speed of both motorcycles was extremely fast, and I didn't pay attention to what Nana had done, but I felt a wave of heat rising behind me. This time, no one could escape.

On top of the high-rise building, the man with the elongated katana noticed that something was wrong with the battle below and was about to prepare for an attack, but...

Dong!

Lilith suddenly appeared and swung her fierce little fists, covered in dark flames. Her punch did not hit his body but was blocked by his long katana.

Hmm! Lilith used even more intense dark flames and strength, intending to shatter his blade. However, instead of breaking, the blade seemed to regain its strength.

"Sword of the Specter, do you also wish to shatter?" The man with the katana had deep, piercing eyes, and his fierce face was simply irresistible. Lilith was slightly mesmerized and infatuated by his charm.

"Lilith!" I saw it, looking up towards the city, I saw Lilith and him. And it seemed like the man with the katana was about to attack Lilith, but Lilith did not react. The distance was too far to see clearly, but Lilith was definitely in danger.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Nofice suddenly appeared behind him, setting up a temporary magic cannon with layered magic formations. The magic cannons targeted the Swordman and fired a burst of scattered shots, but the Swordman evaded them by leaping down.

"Don't chase after him." Nofice pulled Lilith back.

As the Swordman jumped out, a colossal figure exploded out of the tall building, and a pair of fists resembling giant hammers smashed into him.

"Bang!" A resounding blow, the sound of a metal hammer striking.

"Let's go!" Nofice pointed ahead, at the speeding motorcycle and the Swordman.

"Uncle?" Lilith watched as a figure jumped up from below, with strong and muscular limbs, and black wings that didn't seem to match. He looked like a monstrous creature with developed limbs, and the winged demon was clearly superior.

"Hmm? You're Big Brother's daughter?"

"Oh! I can't stand it, Uncle Atai is always so forgetful!"

"Wait a minute, Big Brother has a huge family of over a hundred people, who can remember all of them? But you, little bean, do look familiar." Atai Guer, the younger brother of the Dark King and the guardian of the Emperor's defense, squatted down and poked Lilith's small head with his fingers. Just his fingers alone were probably as big as Lilith's head, and yet Lilith felt that his gentle poke was incredibly heavy.

"What a cute uncle!" Nofice thought Atai squatting down to poke Lilith's head was extremely cute, as if he was playing with a little puppy.

"And who's this?"

"I'm a familiar—I'm Nofice."

"Whose familiar, yours? But speaking of which, you haven't told me your name."

"Guess!" Lilith grasped his finger and lowered it because it was too heavy.

"If Uncle has to guess, I'll start with the oldest and work my way down to Lilith, who knows when I'll get to the youngest." As the motorcycle drove past them, Nanai happened to hear Lilith asking Atai to guess her name.

"Nanai? You're supposed to be exiled, why did you come back!"

"Uncle Atai doesn't even remember my face but remembers I was exiled, really."

"The last time Uncle saw you, you were still a child, how could you remember how you've grown up, you're really silly."

"But Uncle remembers my sister."

"Before going to the Human Realm, I had already come to see Uncle."

"Is this guy Nanai's boyfriend?" Atai's gaze was now on Nanai, who was sitting on my backseat, wielding a knife in his right hand and resting his left hand on my waist.

Atai got very close, and I could see that his body was bursting with explosive muscles. It seemed that he was responsible for the enormous pit downstairs.

"No, he's mine." Lilith made it very clear, not being polite at all.

"Hmm, the affairs of you little girls are troublesome. Let's talk about the guy earlier. He might be the new Demon King or the prince of some Demon King. He definitely has the ability to approach the Demon King; otherwise, he wouldn't have escaped my punch. Be careful, if there's nothing else, I'm going back to my office."

"Maybe we really do need your help!" I thought for a moment and said to Atai's imposing back, and he cast a sidelong glance at me.

The next day, during breakfast time, the food on the plane was indeed rich and mouth-watering. Today, I woke up to the smell of it.

"The plane we arranged for last night crashed after all!" Nanai received the latest intelligence. Last night, we asked Atai to help us arrange for another plane, pretending that we had changed to that flight. But in reality, we changed our disguises and returned to the original plane. Sure enough, the plane we were on this morning had already been sunk.

"Until tonight, we are still safe."

"Tonight, the gathering of the demon lords, if we attend, they will discover it's actually a facade."
