Chapter 27

1

Elena's weapon, aimed at the bound Tesha, said, "Where's the Angel I want?"

"I can only give you this!" I took out the box containing the Spirit of Angel, but Elena's face immediately darkened. It seemed illogical to just take out the Spirit of Angel at this point.

"You killed him?"

"When he fell into my hands, that old Angel was probably prepared for death!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll extract her soul right now?" The conical object suddenly twitched, like the tail of a poisonous scorpion.

"Even if I'm afraid, I can't bring Angel back to life. But if you extract Tesha's soul, I won't even give this to you!"

Flames began to surge up from below the bottle, and the entire room could feel the heat from the flames.

"The Flame of Punishment? Wasn't it supposed to have separated into the Four Divine Flames and scattered across the Three Realms?" Elena didn't remember us, but the Flame of Punishment remembered. It had always been placed in a temple in The Divine Realm, mysteriously separating into the Four Divine Flames and then reappearing without reason. Elena must have thought so.

I walked up to Elena, holding the bottle.

"Elena, do you remember the original function of the Flame of Punishment? Once the bottle is broken and the flame touches the Spirit of Angel, you might lose an Angel who had the chance to become a six-winged Angel!"

The Spirit of Angel could create new Angels, who would accumulate the power of their predecessors, potentially becoming multiples of their predecessors when recreated. That's why the Spirit of Angel was kept in the bottle; once released, Fallen Angels and Angels would fight over it.

"Take it or leave it!"

"Miss Elena, I think this 'ransom' is a bit lacking. Let me add something!" Pia's lightweight toxic dragon's breath surrounded Tesha's neck. If it moved a few centimeters higher, Tesha would be just like the vice president.

"What do you want to add?"

"Qin Yang, your expression is interesting. Do you want to devour people?" Pia wasn't afraid of my blue eyes staring at her. This was what made me wonder who she and the two men sitting on either side of her were.

"Speak up, what do you want to add?"

"Just do one thing - level this city!" Pia's mouth curled up slightly, looking particularly strange, and her request seemed even more dangerous.

"Addendum - no evacuations allowed!" Tony stared at Guffy behind me. 18 years ago, Guffy evacuated the entire imperial city - he remembered. If she continued to do this, it would make the request no longer fun.

"Are you asking us to exchange Tesha for the life of a city?" Guffy was extremely agitated. To choose between the life of her own daughter and the lives of people in a city was a difficult decision. Originally, they were two unrelated matters. If Guffy were really pushed to the limit, she might surrender. But a city with people, including acquaintances and strangers, and most importantly, thousands of students and teachers.

"If Qin Yang can level this city without killing anyone, we will tell you one of our secrets. You should be curious about who we are, right?" Pia found this request more and more amusing.

"Bai, there isn't much power left in our bodies. Even if we use up all the particles in our bodies, it's still not possible. I suggest you use a more forceful method to solve this."

"Forceful? Ultimately, we still have to fight Elena. We may not necessarily win completely. The power of partial dragonization is still limited, and moreover, it actually harms this body!"

"Restolo's form should be able to last until dawn, or Lilith can find any random demon king!"

Elena seemed to have some difficulty understanding their reasoning. The "ransom" they mentioned seemed excessive, and whether I could accept it or not was the question.

"Qin Yang, we cannot agree to this!" Hanya saw the development of the situation heading towards a terrifying direction. "President! Are you sure you want to do this? We've been living in this city for two years. Are you really giving up on your friends and memories here?"

"I'm sorry, I made myself clear when I was still at that academy!"

"President!"

"Qin Yang, she's not someone important to you. Are you willing to exchange an entire city's people for her?"

"If I can do it, I, Qin Yang, will definitely do it!"

Tesha's anxious look changed when she heard my words. It became calm, as if her inner emotions had become complex.

"What's so special about her? Elena, do you know? This girl may be even more important than the girl beside her!" Pia pointed at Hanya, who was holding a sword behind me.

"Hey hey, are you still chatting? Should we order some food and sit down to talk?" Tony casually spoke, not showing any intention of exchanging hostages.

"Choose, Qin Yang."

I put away the flames and the bottle, and returned to the door of the room. I glanced at Guffy, who had full trust in her eyes. She must believe in me.

"I choose the third option—I'll level this sealed room!"

A row of golden flames suddenly appeared in front of me. I swung my left hand outward, and the fireballs hit everyone present. Then I swung my right hand, creating a row of shimmering silver circles. Hanya instantly rushed out from behind me, and the green cyclone gave a feeling of tearing flesh.

"Crack~Crack~" The sound of shattering came from Elena's pyramids. Hanya's figure appeared in front of the French window, which had long been shredded by the green wind.

"Divine-level Magic tools? This human girl is clearly holding a Saint-grade weapon."

Pinno stared at Hanya and said, "The 'Dragon Spirit Contract' is working on her sword. The sword's body is a blue dragon, which means it has a dragon spirit!"

Numerous blocks of ice suddenly attacked. Coyalu found Pinno's odd eyes interesting, as it seemed he wanted to launch a surprise attack and catch him off guard. But after the ice and Pinno locked eyes, it suddenly rebounded, causing Coyalu to quickly evade.

"His ability can warp the vice president's spatial black hole back!" Hanya turned her head and saw Pinno. She suddenly remembered how Pinno had warped the spatial black hole back when she took the vice president away.

"Coyalu, you keep battling with Tony!"

"Alright, father!"

Coyalu charged toward Tony. The two of them didn't know how many times they had dueled, nor did they know if they could determine a winner this time.

"Qin Yang, don't bully women!" Pia breathed dragon breath, and I grabbed her neck and threw her out of the broken window!

"Qin Yang!" Hanya swung her sword and struck another conical object. Thanks to Shattered Cloud's special ability, the object easily shattered. She watched as it fell, but she didn't have time to worry about it. She was wearing five rings on her hand, all of which I had thrown out earlier. They were in "disordered emission" mode, constantly emitting particles, forcing Hanya to maintain a state that was not too different from Elena's.

"Does Qin Yang plan to handle her alone, Principal?" Elena stood in front of Tesha, using a triangular shield to hold it against her chin.

Guffy had an extra dusty book in his hand, which instantly opened on its own. A silver game dragon appeared on the pages!

"The Infinite Grimoire! It's finally complete."
