Chapter 25

1

Outside the Student Union Building, midnight had long passed, and the night breeze in spring was still chilling. I had a feeling of dislike, as if the thing I was worried about had already happened. I felt this strange signal even before I set foot here.

The sound of paper flipping echoed in the night breeze. Countless swords were inserted into numerous pages of magic books. There were too many swords left outside this small building, like a sword mound where swords were buried in martial arts novels. And any random person could become powerful in the academy by picking up these artifacts, because they were all divine weapons.

I stood among the numerous swords, using my power to destroy these divine weapons. There were too many mass-produced divine weapons, they were no longer valuable, and anyone could take them away. They were all dangerous.

One by one, the pages of the magic books were collected in my hands, and the smell emanating from the paper declared their owners.

"Qin Yang!" Qin Ying stood at the door, covered in dust. Others were the same, with some injured. Nai Nai struggled to stand up and used her anxious gaze to tell me that Elena had been here!

The debris and sword marks scattered all over the small building indicated that it had been attacked by numerous swords in an instant, causing chaos. From the scene, it seemed that Elena had shown no mercy, not just towards me, but also towards the affection of the Student Union. Did it all completely disappear?

I patted the dust off Qin Ying's body. She was clearly a very beautiful girl, but now she looked like this.

Qin Ying stopped my hand and straightened her own clothes. She looked at the door and said, "You should go and see her. The person she trusts the most is the president..."

"Hanya, are you hurt?"

"President... President, she said she doesn't know me!" Hanya curled up in a corner, holding her sword contract, and kept crying. I could only quietly wipe away her tears. Hanya joined the Student Union and first got to know Elena and Li Liu. She usually listened to Elena the most and had a good relationship with her.

"Hanya, I know you've always treated Elena as your sister. You listen to everything she says, but today, her words can't be trusted. None of it is true."

"But she said it so sincerely! I can't not believe her." Hanya looked up at me with her teary eyes. I didn't know what Elena had said to her, but it had clearly caused psychological harm to Hanya, and there were obvious scars on her right arm, left by Elena.

The real Elena wouldn't hurt the people here. She just looks similar, that's all. Her words can't be trusted!"

"Then who is she?"

"She... she's the Dragon Lady! A Dragon Lady with confused memories. Sooner or later, the real Elena will be found."

"Okay!"

I stood up and looked around. I asked, "When did Elena leave?"

A voice immediately answered, "Ten minutes ago. A rain of swords flew in from outside, and we just managed to dodge it. Soon after, Elena broke through the barrier outside, came in, and asked me for an old Angel, but she couldn't find it and took Tesha instead."

"She wanted me to exchange that Angel for Tesha?" I turned to look at Guffy, who was answering, with her silver hair hanging loose. It was clear that she felt worried and exhausted because of Tesha being taken away.

"Nofice!"

Nofice immediately sensed my anger and appeared, trembling as she spoke, "Mas... master!"

"What about that old Angel?"

"Xiao Yang seems very angry!" Yao said while applying medicine to Lilith.

"The president indirectly helped Tony this time, Qin Yang is in trouble... Ouch, it hurts!" Yao applied the medicine to Lilith's wound. The stimulative nature of the medicine made Lilith grit her teeth. Elena's weapons always had resistance against healing Magic, so medicine was more effective.

"Tony?"

"The new Demon King of the Demon Realm, now a traitor to the demon race, obsessed with challenging the position of the Demon Dragon, a near insane existence."

"Principal Guffy is really concerned about us, he hasn't left since earlier."

"Does Xiao Yao know? You're overthinking."

"Master... that Angel... is already dead!"

"What?"

"When I brought him back, he couldn't live for long because he broke free from the chains, and... Master should know that Angels are made of light elements. Once an Angel's spirit leaves the body, there won't be a body left, so there's no way to save them."

Nofice looked helpless as she took out a pale blue bottle. She wasn't lying. The spirit of the old Angel was now trapped in the bottle. Like when humans die and their bodies can stay preserved for some time until their souls find peace, Angels couldn't be saved in the same way. Even if there was a way, there wasn't enough time to do it.

"Qin Yang, can you save our daughter from Elena?"

"Daughter?" The principal's statement overwhelmed the girls instantly! Xiao Qiong and the others turned to look at Lilith. They still remembered what Lilith had mentioned about the principal and Qin Yang a few days ago. They were astonished yet resigned. Even the principal had succumbed, and the fact that Tesha was Qin Yang's daughter was really hard to accept.

"Our only option is to find them first. We need to be cautious of a few people but it's tricky. Firstly, is Elena really involved with Tony? And did Elena only bring those few two-winged and four-winged Angels to the Human Realm? If she also brought Yukizu and Coyalu, there's a chance Tony will attack the palace again."

"If I go back and borrow my father Pluto and my older brother, that might work!" Nana referred to her older brother, who also possessed the power of the Dark Flame like Lilith. He was around the same age as Yukizu and had been through the God-Demon War, making him an experienced warrior.

"Does Elena have a deadline for switching hosts?"

"Before dawn! There's less than four hours left. Here's the address!" Guffy pointed at the wall with engraved text.

"Regardless of whether we can make it in time, Nana and Lilith, you do your best. The rest of you stay here. Guffy, come with me!" Before leaving, I glanced at Xiao Qiong. Her Contract with Qiong was the highest Level Four here, and Nana and Lilith were Level Three Contracts going to see Pluto. Only she could protect Wenxin and the others.

"Guffy, before we go, there's one thing we need to accomplish!"

Pia sat on the top floor of the skyscraper, the sofa stretching tens of meters long. She stared intently at the silver-haired girl in front of her, who couldn't escape the ropes no matter how much she struggled.

"Little sister, the ropes were specially prepared for you. No matter how many spells you carve on them, they won't work!" Pia acted like a big sister, giving a lesson to a younger girl.

"Big brother, I can see things more clearly from here." Pichu stared fixedly at the wall ahead, as if she could really see something.

And Pinno, who had been meditating, spoke softly, "To stand high is to see far and see clearly!"

"Second brother, find some other books for big brother when you have time. Get rid of those old books about Buddha and such, so that he doesn't turn into a stone sculpture from sitting all day!"

"Okay, once the task is done, I'll get big brother a set of martial arts novels!"

"Don't! He's good with humanities and geography, but I'm afraid he won't understand the poison in martial arts novels!"

"Why do you all have to kidnapp her?" Elena came out of the bedroom after showering, her golden hair still dripping with water.

"Because she doesn't have a contract with Qin Yang, but she's incredibly important to him!"

After hearing Pinno's words, Elena looked curiously at Tesha, wondering what kind of relationship Tesha had with Qin Yang.
