"I'm astonished that you would ask Nagisa to do something so dangerous."

Facing her nominal father, Ellie was not polite at all. Her expression was indifferent, just like when she was facing a stranger.

Because she inherited the psychic qualities of her grandmother and her mother's over-adapter ability, Nagisa is a very rare "hybrid user". She has the "ability to see into the past", which allows her to not only easily find buried relics, but even decipher those inscriptions that cannot be deciphered. Although Nagisa has been invited by universities or specialized institutions to do similar work before, it is still very rare for her to come directly to an excavation site.

What's more, Ellie could feel that the thing hidden behind this door was definitely not simple.

"It's fine if you dig graves and get punished, but you have to drag your daughter into it? What kind of mentality is this?"

"It was the sponsor's insistence. I had no choice. After all, ultrasonic detection and search magic are useless for this ruin. Frankly speaking, we are helpless."

"Then let's go home."

Ai Li snorted at Xiao Yacheng's defense.

"After all, you are just a slave to capitalism. Nothing good will come of indulging in grave digging."

Hearing what Ai Li said, Akatsuki Jo did not answer, but just sighed and looked at Nagisa who had changed into the shrine maiden's costume.

"Okay, let's go."

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the ruins without looking back.

Soon, Akatsuki, Airi, Nagisa and the woman named Liana walked into the ruins. Unlike the dilapidated ancient tombs that everyone imagined, the entire ruins were almost intact, and they were emitting a faint glow, which looked quite beautiful.

"It's so beautiful. It doesn't feel like a tomb..."

Nagisa couldn't help but sigh quietly as he watched all this, while Akatsuki explained.

“This place is closer to a temple than a cemetery.”

"god?"

Hearing this, Nagisa looked towards his father curiously.

"Does this mean that there are ancient gods sleeping here?"

"hehe."

Xiaoyacheng muttered in response to his daughter's question.

"It's not such a noble thing. If you guess it's the evil god, it's almost the same."

"PhD!"

Hearing this, Miss Liana frowned and wanted to interrupt him, but the latter just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"After all, we're already here. There's no point in hiding it. I'm not trying to scare them. This is the truth after all."

"So you knew that there was something dangerous sealed here, but you still insisted on opening it? Why? Are you two anti-human and anti-social elements?"

Ai Li looked at Xiaoyacheng and Liana coldly, with the magic wand in her hand.

"Perhaps there are some clues about the Fourth True Ancestor hidden here. Don't you think this is interesting?"

"No, I think you are more dangerous because you want to destroy humanity just for fun."

Staring at Xiaoya City for a moment, Ellie clenched her magic wand.

"I'm going to take Nagisa back. I don't think it's necessary to open such a dangerous ruin."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yacheng narrowed his eyes and stared at her.

"You're still saying this now, all right?"

"That's why I'm saying this. I have no interest in your grave-digging behavior, and I have nothing to say about people like you who try to put the entire world and humanity in danger for your own selfish reasons. I no longer care about your life or death, but Nagisa is my lovely sister after all, and I still have to ensure her personal safety."

Ai Li snorted and raised the magic wand in her hand and pointed it at Xiao Yacheng. She knew what Xiao Yacheng meant. This cheap father had been doing archaeological excavations all over the world (in other words, robbing graves and digging corpses) to find clues about the "Holy Annihilation". The so-called Holy Annihilation rumor started in ancient times and was caused by the fourth true ancestor, the original sinner, the horrific battle between all the ancestors of the demon clan. Every occurrence of the Holy Annihilation was a turning point in history, so Xiao Yacheng was so obsessed with archaeology.

But if Ellie were to say...

"If our ancestors knew that the threats and disasters they had sealed up with so much effort and sacrificed countless lives were arbitrarily released by their descendants for their own selfish reasons, they might even prefer the world to be destroyed. Of course, a tomb robber like you, Mr. Yacheng, probably wouldn't understand this feeling."

"You make me sound like a cold-blooded monster."

"It's not the right target, but it's not far off. If you want to die, please do as you please. If you die, I will do my duty and burn incense at your grave, but I won't do that if you take us with you."

"Please, please wait a moment, Miss Ellie."

Faced with this sudden change, Liana seemed a little surprised and nervous.

"We are not just out of curiosity, but because we have a very deep reason..."

"Status, fame, and wealth are all boring things in the end. They may be meaningful to you, but I don't see any benefit to Nagisa and me."

Ellie glanced at Liana and then looked away.

"Nagisa, let's go."

“…”

However, facing the sinister atmosphere between his sister and father, Nagisa did not react at all. This made Airi frown, and she turned her head to look in the direction of Nagisa, only to see that the lively and active Nagisa was now staring at the closed stone door in front of him with lifeless eyes, and then the next moment, a series of complex, unfamiliar foreign languages ​​suddenly came out of Nagisa's mouth.

"It seems the séance was successful."

Seeing this, Akatsuki laughed, while Airi glanced at him coldly. This was why Nagisa was able to decipher the ancient inscriptions and open the ruins. She was able to communicate with the will remaining in the ruins through the spirit, so as to understand and correctly master the opening of the ruins - after all, the person who built this ruins must know how to correctly open the sealed door, right?

The next moment, the stone door in front of them disappeared without warning, as if it had never existed. Seeing this scene, Miss Liana covered her mouth in shock.

"No way, even the magic technicians in the War King field couldn't break the seal, but it was broken in just a moment..."

As the stone door that blocked everyone disappeared, the bone-chilling cold suddenly rushed towards them, but Nagisa seemed to be completely unaffected by the cold and continued to walk forward. Seeing this, Airi could only smack her lips and grit her teeth as she followed. Nagisa was now in a state of communicating with a certain will in the ruins, and she couldn't force it to wake up, otherwise it would cause big problems, so even though she was worried, she could only follow in.

There was an ice coffin in the circular space, and inside the coffin, a girl with long golden hair who looked about the same age as Airi and Nagisa was frozen. Nagisa slowly walked in front of the girl, and then saw the cold mist gradually dissipate, wrapping Nagisa in it...

"So you're planning to sacrifice your daughter to revive the demon king?"

"Of course not, in fact it is ..."

However, before Xiao Yacheng could finish his words, the entire ruins began to shake, trembling violently like an earthquake. At the same time, Ai Li and Xiao Yacheng stopped talking, turned their heads and looked upwards, and then Xiao Yacheng frowned.

"Things seem to be getting a little troublesome. I'll leave Nagisa in your care. I'll be right back."

"It doesn't matter if you can't come back. I will take care of Nagisa."

Hearing Ai Li's indifferent answer, Xiao Yacheng smiled bitterly, then turned around and rushed out of the tomb with a gun. Liana lowered her head sadly and spoke.

"I'm very sorry to involve you, but please don't blame the doctor. He is the one who feels the most uncomfortable."

"I can't see it, but this is originally your problem, so solve it yourself."

"Yes, don't worry, I will protect you."

Having said that, Miss Liana also raised her head and looked forward. At this moment, the entrance to the ruins had been completely blown open, and a group of people rushed in directly - they were not strangers, but the soldiers who were responsible for guarding this place that Airy and Nagisa had seen in the camp not long ago.

However, these soldiers were not dead because of rebellion or anything else. Just looking at their zombie-like eyes and bloody bodies, you can tell that they are already dead.

At the same time, Liana took off the bracelet on her wrist. Her eyes shone with a bright red light, and sharp fangs emerged from her mouth.

Then the battle began.

Liana raised her hands, and then, giant golden and silver wolves appeared from her shadow and attacked the zombie army in front of her. That was the most powerful skill of the vampire - the familiar beast, which was a summoned beast raised in the blood of the vampire, and a collection of magic power with will. The powerful familiar beast had unparalleled power, just like the two in front of him.

Ellie just hid in the corner holding her sister, and after casting a powerful iron armor to protect herself, she watched the show. Under Liana's control, the two beasts turned into a wild storm and quickly killed in the zombies. It didn't take long before they wiped out the hundreds of fully armed zombies in front of them.

"I'm sorry, I was a little bit tired..."

Liana was somewhat tired, but she still looked at Airi and nodded. At this moment, Nagisa had also woken up, and was huddled in Airi's arms in fear, watching the scene in front of her. Airi just looked at the battlefield in front of her quietly, and then asked.

"These attackers are probably not ordinary people."

"Yes, they are terrorists. I'm afraid they are from the Black Death Emperor faction - the orc supremacists."

"Ah... these retarded extremists again."

Upon hearing this, Ellie immediately lost interest. Although the world is generally peaceful and balanced at the moment, conflicts and disputes among various ethnic groups are still inevitable. For example, racists are rampant, and the Black Death Emperor faction is one of them. They claim that orcs are the most outstanding race among the demons, and they also demand the destruction of the Sanctuary Treaty, trying to rule all other races except orcs.

Of course, there are also discriminators among humans who believe in "protecting good citizens and eliminating all demons." They believe that the reduction in demon crime after the signing of the Sanctuary Treaty is just a hoax fabricated by the government to make humans submit to the demons. Mentally retarded people can be found everywhere and in all races.

It's all the same virtue.

At this moment, suddenly, as if sensing something, Nagisa grabbed Ai Li tightly.

"Sister, something scary seems to be coming! It's so scary! Run away!!!"

"boom!!"

However, before Nagisa could finish his words, the outer wall of the stone chamber suddenly collapsed, and then a three-meter-tall dog-headed orc strode in. Looking at the girl and the ice coffin in front of it, it opened its mouth and revealed a hideous smile.

"So you are here, Liana Kalyana. You let a mere human fight for you while you yourself hide in the cellar like a hare. You are really like the daughter of Kalyanab, who is known for his laziness and weakness. You are as cowardly as the head of the family."

"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult my father. Chew him up! Eclipse Wolf!"

Along with Liana's roar, the next moment the golden giant wolf suddenly turned into lightning and pounced forward. However, unlike the previous group of zombies, the orc in front of him easily blocked the attack of the golden giant wolf with just his right hand.

Seeing this scene, Liana was stunned. A mere orc could actually block the beast with just his body... This was simply impossible, unless...

As if to verify Liana's guess, the orc's body suddenly expanded again, and then turned into a huge beast. A huge amount of magic power burst out from it, even far exceeding the beast Liana summoned. Liana's face turned pale when she noticed this.

"Divine beast transformation!?"

Liana would never have thought that the other party had such a terrifying skill. Divine beast transformation is a special ability that only a very small number of high-level beastmen have. They can use huge magic power to transform themselves into divine beasts. They are mythical creatures that can rival angels or dragons...

Looking at Liana's pale face in front of him, the orc who had transformed into a divine beast let out a smug laugh.

"Unlike vampires like you who can't do anything without the help of summoned beasts, we are the descendants of demon wolves born from swallowing the heart of a giant. Therefore, orcs are the highest-level demons. Come and experience the power of the strongest race!"

“Woo…”

Faced with the threat of the orc in front of her, Liana gritted her teeth again and raised her left hand.

"Crush it, Eclipse Wolf!"

Soon, another silver-white giant wolf reappeared and attacked the divine beast. Under Liana's control, the two beasts gave up their defense and attacked frantically, gradually forcing the divine beast in front of them to retreat. However, even so, the divine beast was not afraid at all, but laughed wildly.

“Hahahaha, even though the family has fallen on hard times, they are still nobles in the War King realm after all. They are quite tenacious, but that’s all!”

Along with the roar of the divine beast, the next moment several zombies suddenly emerged from the rubble, holding weapons, aiming at Liana and pulling the trigger.

At this moment, Liana was completely focused on controlling her beasts, and had no power to protect herself. She could only watch the zombies shoot bullets, and then...

"Expelliarmus!"

Accompanied by a low roar, the next moment the weapons in the zombies' hands flew up instantly as if they were knocked away by transparent sticks.

"Leihuo burns!"

The flames condensed into a giant snake, which instantly devoured the zombies in front of it, turning them into ashes. At this moment, Liana could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, and the beasts that lost their magic power also turned into ashes and disappeared completely.

But the beast did not attack immediately. Instead, it slowly raised its head and looked towards the corner. There, wearing a witch hat, Ellie held a magic wand in her hand and stared at the beast in front of her without any fear on her face. Behind her, Nagisa was pale and trembling.

"A human? And a witch at that... You don't think you can stop me with your own strength alone."

"I have no interest in what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to hurt me and my sister, that is another matter."

"interesting."

Hearing this, the beast opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth.

"Well then, show me what you can do, human!!"

While roaring, the divine beast rushed straight towards the two people.

Facing the mythical beast surrounded by powerful magic rushing towards her, Ellie took a deep breath and raised her wand.

“Expecto Patronus!!”

The next moment, a silvery-white light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire ancient tomb.
