Chapter 7

1

"Ha!" Drenched in cold sweat, Li Liu with her still-unchanged purple hair felt her brain lacking oxygen. She took deep breaths, her ice-cold eyes staring at the wallpaper covered in colorful drawings. Her hair floated without wind, resembling a snake-haired monster.

Ice Crystal Gaze watched nearly 90% of the island at the same time. Every corner was within her sight, although she couldn't understand every detail. This was Li Liu's incomplete Magic - Reflection Gaze. Initially, Li Liu wanted to practice long-distance illusion magic, but she accidentally discovered that Ice Crystal Gaze could achieve an even more extreme long-distance illusion. It could be projected from one person's eyes to another person's eyes, and then to the next person. Everything that was projected into the eyes of the people appeared in Elena's eyes. Li Liu could also simultaneously project to multiple people, but there were still limitations. Additionally, using magic simultaneously would weaken the projection, and her eyes would become fatigued.

Her floating hair slowly stopped, and Li Liu collapsed onto the bed. The Gaze disappeared, leaving behind a pair of hollow black eyes. The clock on the wall showed ten in the evening. She had already slept for over three hours, but still felt exhausted. She reluctantly got up and changed her clothes. A girl leaving a hotel in the strong wind looked quite slender.

On the same floor, Fatty stood by the window, holding a watermelon rind. However, he couldn't seem to focus on anything.

"Fatty, are you still eating watermelon? I need to wake up early tomorrow."

"I suddenly have a feeling, a feeling that I can't find words to express."

"Could it be because of the magical battle? Some people's magic is so strange that it makes others feel uneasy, just like... dragons."

"What are dragons?"

"Powerful creatures."

"Stronger than humans?"

"Not necessarily. There have been instances in history where humans defeated dragons and sealed them away."

Fatty took a big bite out of the watermelon rind, chewing slowly.

"Clack!" Muna opened the door, and the old aunt in front of her looked very familiar. She was the representative of the residents.

"Aunt Chen."

"Muna, huh? Do you have guests at your place today?" Aunt Chen was about to say something when she noticed a few young people lying on the sofa in Muna's house, with the light from her handheld flashlight.

"Yes, a few colleagues wanted to stop by. After a couple of drinks, everyone got tired." Muna caressed her forehead, feeling like she had drunk a bit too much.

"No wonder it took me so long to get a response. Young people are lucky... By the way, the main power room of the building triggered overload protection, and the engineer quickly completed the repair. No need to worry." Aunt Chen informed every household individually.

"Maybe someone used Magic carelessly."

Muna hesitated. She didn't want the representative to know the source of the problem was her house.

"Ah, random Magic wouldn't cause an issue with the main power. Our water, electricity, and heating are all protected. At least, only Magic of at least a Saint-level mage would trigger the protection. So it seems that some powerful mages have entered. I asked the security guard at the entrance, but they haven't noticed anything."

"Aunt, maybe these people didn't come through the main door."

"Whatever the case, be careful at your house as well."

"Alright, thank you, Aunt."

Muna saw the representative off, closed the door, and leaned against it. She took a deep breath, looking at her darkened house. A ball of light slowly appeared in her hand. It turns out her affinity was for light, but she hadn't learned how to use it for combat, so her abilities were not strong.

The room was somewhat messy, with a dice split in half on the floor. Dong Ge and everyone else were unconscious in the living room. A spilled teacup slowly dripped tea onto the floor. In Muna's memories, she saw Dong Ge's Magic entering Reisgolo's heart, and then she lost consciousness.

"Blood?" Monna saw a puddle of blood on the ground and smelled the scent of blood coming from the balcony. She looked up and saw a floating wheelchair on the balcony.

"Hey, are you okay... Why are you coughing up blood?" Monna ran to the balcony, bypassed the floating wheelchair, and held a white towel in her hand to help me wipe the blood.

"The blood... has dried up." I looked up and blood slowly seeped out from the corner of my mouth. The impact of the Dragon Tooth on my body, though just a small self-defense Magic, still caused significant damage.

"Ah! Why is there a person here?" Monna, while wiping away the bloodstains, touched someone's head and was startled. This person should not have appeared here. She had never seen this woman before, and she had a striking beauty.

"We'll talk about it later. They're waking up." I glanced at the group of Eastern Brother's five people behind me. It would be troublesome if they saw her.

"But how did she appear here?"

This unexpected guest was lying peacefully beside my thigh, like a beloved pet sleeping on its owner's thigh. Under the hair being blown by the strong wind on this windy night, her astonishing beauty was revealed.

"We'll talk later. They're waking up." Monna noticed a slight movement in Cui Dong's eyebrows. It seemed like he was waking up.

Cui Dong gradually awakened from his unconsciousness, and his first reaction upon waking up was to frantically rub his temples. Around the same time, his colleagues also woke up.

"Ah! I think I saw Angel."

"You're all awake." Monna poured a cup of water for each of them.

"What about that kid?"

Monna handed a cup of water to Dong Ge, "Dong Ge, he's just a child. Why would you treat him like that? Now he's injured, and the boss is coming back the day after tomorrow. I've been instructed."

After calming down, Cui Dong realized that he had made a mistake. He didn't know why the boss wanted to save this child, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing if the person the boss wanted to save was injured by him.

"What should we do, Dong Ge? There's blood on the floor!" Cui Dong's girlfriend was terrified when she saw the blood on the floor. She thought Cui Dong had really killed someone.

"It's just some blood. It's fine." I sat on the floating wheelchair and slowly appeared in front of everyone. My intact appearance suddenly reassured Cui Dong.

"I didn't hit you?"

"Dong Ge, you're joking. Have you ever hit me?"

Cui Dong was surprised, and after thinking for two seconds, he said, "Um... I don't think so."

"I remember the island has a curfew at twelve o'clock."

They looked at their watches and realized that they still had over an hour until twelve o'clock, but they all had to go home within that time. The traffic on the island was very busy at this time.

"Well, Monna, I'll come back another day. Hopefully, next time I see the kid, he'll be better." Cui Dong left with everyone.

"Dong Ge, what about Angel..." Cui Dong's girlfriend was somewhat unhappy.

"Shh, let's not talk about it!"

Monna watched them leave and felt that Cui Dong was completely different now. He seemed to be scared by something.

"Uh!" I spat out blood, scaring Monna, making her hands tremble and her legs weak. She never expected me to cough up blood again.

"You just stopped the bleeding earlier, didn't you? I need to find a doctor!"

"No need, it seems like you have Light Magic. I'll teach you how to use it. You should be able to stop the bleeding." For Monna, who only knew how to use Light Magic to illuminate, this was her first time healing and saving someone's life.

After some struggles, I finally suppressed the side effects of forcefully operating Magic after using the Dragon Tooth. This Dragon Tooth was a vicious thing.

"I heard Cui Dong say that he saw Angel before leaving," Muna wiped my face with a warm towel and casually asked.

"That's her, my familiar." I pointed to the girl that Muna had hidden in the bedroom. She is Nofice. In an instant crisis, she activated the familiar contract, and Nofice appeared, causing everyone to fall asleep, including herself.

"Familiar?" Muna trembled slightly when she heard the word "familiar," and her expression became more respectful. "So, Reisgolo, you are an amazing summoner! I've heard that humanoid familiars are powerful evidence of a summoner's skill."

"Is that so? I don't remember." I almost forgot about my amnesia setting. I almost started explaining about summoners to her. Luckily, I remembered in time. It was really frustrating.

"It's such a tragedy to have such a beautiful female familiar and still have amnesia. But it's alright, you have someone familiar to accompany you from now on. But when will she wake up?"

I entered the bedroom and ran my fingers through Nofice's hair. I used to sleep while holding her every day, and tonight I can finally do so again.

"She doesn't know when she'll wake up. It's probably because my magic power is almost depleted now, making it difficult to support her. I think she will only wake up when I face danger again. Oh, by the way, Cui Dong mentioned seeing Angel, which should be her."

"That's so pitiful. You finally have someone familiar, but she still can't move. But it's alright. I will inform the boss of your characteristics, and he will help you find other relatives and friends. Now, your identity can be defined as an outstanding summoner named Reisgolo, and your familiar is a young and beautiful girl. It shouldn't be too difficult to find."

Upon hearing Muna's words, I suddenly felt that I might not have much time left. The familiar is the beautiful girl, Angel. With just this setting alone, the number of potential candidates has decreased by ninety-nine percent. Although I couldn't find the name, through the process of elimination, Qin Yang, my other identity, would soon be discovered due to Nofice's appearance and her loose lips, ruining my vacation.

"I hope so."

"I suddenly remembered the clothes the boss shipped back today. Reisgolo, you continue to accompany your familiar. Perhaps you will remember more memories."

"Wait, Muna, can you help me to bed?"

Muna suddenly froze for a moment, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"What did you...say?"

"Help me to bed, is that not possible?"

"But...she's still a girl!"

I suddenly understood what Muna meant. Nofice is a girl, and it wouldn't be appropriate for a boy and a girl to sleep in the same bed.

"Don't worry, I remember that she should be thousands of years old. She's not just a girl."

"No, you can't do that. She's a familiar, not a wife. Maybe where you live together, it doesn't matter, but here, you could end up in jail for this."

"Then, where will I sleep tonight?"

Muna suddenly realized that this suite only had two rooms. She quickly picked up Nofice and stepped into her own room.

"Oh, my humanoid doll..."
