“…”
For a moment, there was deathly silence on the coast.
No one expected that Ellie would just start fighting without any warning, and the reason she gave was even more heartbreaking - no matter what happens next, it has nothing to do with you, so you can go die.
Just as the blonde woman and the long-haired man were frightened, they saw Ai Li shift her gaze to look at them.
At the same time, a feeling of fear came over me.
"Open Angel!! Quick!!"
The blonde had already lost her composure and almost screamed. The driver hurriedly picked up the remote control and pressed it hard. At the same time, several blue-white atomic beams flashed and swept directly towards the two people.
If it were an ordinary person, this would be enough to tear their bodies apart. However, since the two of them were carrying demon registration certificates, they were naturally not human. The blonde woman leaped high into the air, and at the same time, the long-haired man on the other side also ran to the other side. At the same time, on the hovercraft, as the container slowly opened, a silver-haired girl wearing clothes that looked like a hospital gown emerged from it. She opened her eyes and flew into the air with an expressionless face.
"Yukina, protect our princess. I'll deal with them."
"Senior, I want to fight too!"
"Me too, don't worry about my safety."
As she spoke, La Freya took out a submachine gun from her clothes.
"We will take care of ourselves, please, Fourth True Ancestor."
"Okay, then I'll leave these two guys to you guys, I'll go deal with Xia Yin!"
After giving the order quickly, Ai Li also ran towards Xia Yin. At the same time, Xia Yin seemed to notice Ai Li, but soon, she changed.
“Kyriiiiiiiiiiiii——!!!”
Xia Yin raised her head and let out a roar that was totally unlike that of a human. Dazzling holy light burst out from her body, enveloping her whole body. At the same time, the sharp teeth in her mouth fell off one after another, and her childish face gradually returned to its original appearance. The asymmetrical and ugly wings began to evolve and grew into three pairs of beautiful and dazzling pure white wings.
However, immediately afterwards, eyes emerged from the surface of the three pairs of wings - it looked just like the scene when the mass-produced machine awakened in the EVA movie.
Disgusting.
Those bright red eyes turned and stared at Ellie. Then, beams of light like the sun emerged from them and turned into huge lightsabers that blasted down towards Ellie.
Facing the bombarding lightsabers, Ellie quickly stretched out her hand, and soon, the bluish-white ball of light quickly turned into a huge shield that appeared in the air and collided with the pouring lightsabers.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”
Violent explosions and roars sounded at the same time, indicating that neither side had the upper hand in this competition. Ai Li raised her hand again, and this time, golden lightning roared and fell from the sky, hitting Xia Yin directly. However, just like before, Ai Li's lightning passed through Xia Yin's body, as if it was just an illusion, not a real person.
Is that the only trick I can use anymore?
Thinking of this, Ellie also frowned, and soon, the invisible wave frequency condensed in her hand, and then exploded rapidly - but this time, the vibration wave that rushed out did not break the opponent like before, but was reflected back as if it had hit some kind of thick dam. Fortunately, Ellie saw the opportunity quickly and hurriedly withdrew this force, otherwise she would be in trouble.
"Xia Yin, wake up quickly, do you want to disappear completely like this?!"
Ellie called for the atomic beam again to block another wave of lightsaber attacks from the angel. At the same time, she tried to use the protagonist's best and most effective "mouth-to-mouth" technique to awaken Xia Yin's self-consciousness. But unfortunately, her "mouth-to-mouth" technique was useless. Xia Yin seemed to have not heard Ellie's call at all, but still launched a fierce attack on her.
That's true. After all, Natsune and I have only known each other for two or three days. If Nagisa were here, maybe my persuasion would be of some use...
But... I remember that guy just now seemed to say that humans are born with seven spiritual roots or something, so can they be used as magic circuits?
Thinking of this, Ai Li couldn't help but glance at Kensei Ye, who had completely turned into a corpse, and frowned. Relying on spells and beasts might be useless. Just as Kensei Ye said, Xia Yin would evolve into a being beyond humans and go to another dimension.
Maybe I can give it a try... There is no other chance now!
Thinking of this, Ai Li stared at Xia Yin in front of her and began to feel the magic in her body again.
Spiritual roots, spiritual roots, spiritual roots... This thing is very common in fairy tales, but do I really have it in my body? According to Kensei Ye, humans have the same psychic circuits, but not many people can activate them. Even the top psychics can only activate 30%. If all of them can be activated, you can enter the realm of gods and Buddhas...
Yeze Natsune devoured the other six spiritual roots to gain her current strength, which means that if she can activate the same number of spiritual energy circuits, then it will be possible for her to enter Yeze Natsune's realm!
Ai Li could understand Kensei Yease's theory. To put it bluntly, the power reactor in each person's body was not strong enough, so they needed to combine multiple power reactors to increase the output to achieve the goal. This was the method he used to turn Yease Natsune into an angel. However, Ai Li had no place to learn from Kensei Yease, so she had no choice but to force overclocking!
Fortunately, in Ellie's memory, there really is a technology to forcibly open the circuit, that is...
"Synchronize—start."
It felt as if a switch in my body was turned on in an instant.
The overflowing magic power quickly poured into it, and the reversed nerves directly connected the circuit.
What followed was a mixture of burning sensation and pain.
It was as if the blood vessels were corroded, and all the nerves in the body turned into thorns, causing a pricking sensation. The spiritual power... began to gradually erupt.
"What is that...?"
At this moment, whether it was La Freya who was confronting the long-haired man or Himeragi Setsuna who was fighting the blonde woman, they all turned their heads involuntarily and looked in the direction of Ai Li. Everyone seemed to have stopped fighting at this moment, staring at everything in front of them in amazement.
"You're lying, that's... spiritual power? Senior actually..."
Muttering to herself, Setsuna seemed to suddenly realize something and shouted loudly.
"No, Senior, if this continues--!!!"
“Woo…”
But Xuecai's cry did not enter Ai Li's ears. At this moment, her five senses were being shut down one by one.
Magic power and spiritual power are different.
Magic power resides in everything and can be used by any existence. However, spiritual power is the power of the soul, which comes from the power of living people. For vampires cursed with immortality, they cannot stimulate this kind of life force. What Ellie is doing now is just like a lich trying to cast a sunburst, which is a complete act of suicide.
But Ellie naturally has her own plans.
The storm began to change.
The surge of the soul was soon replaced by roaring and surging magic power, and soon, everyone saw three pairs of black wings appearing behind Ai Li - as if they corresponded to the white wings of light of Yeze Natsune. Then Ai Li leaped up and rushed towards Natsune in front of her.
At the same time, the lightsaber shot out again.
"boom!!!"
The dark shadows and lightsabers shot out again, and this time it was the lightsaber that disappeared. Then Ellie flew out and reached out to grab Xia Yin - this time, her hand grabbed Xia Yin's shoulder.
"Xia Yin, can you hear me? Wake up and use your consciousness to control your spiritual power! Control it!"
"Sister...Ms...."
Hearing Ai Li's voice, Xia Yin's dim eyes that were devoid of any light seemed to regain some clarity. However, at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from her body again as if resisting the witch's resistance, directly piercing through Ai Li's body and smashing her to the ground.
“——!!”
The dazzling pure white light turned into a cross-shaped explosion flash that rose from the ground, and half of the island was completely destroyed in the explosion.
"senior!"
"Ms. Ellie!!"
At this moment, Setsuna and La Freya also hurriedly left the battlefield and rushed to Ellie's side.
"call……"
Seeing this scene, the blonde woman breathed a sigh of relief. She was shocked when she saw that Ai Li actually touched the angelic Natsune Ye. She thought her plan was over. But now it seems that although the silver witch is powerful, she is still no match for the angel.
However, just when the blonde woman felt relieved, something strange happened.
“Ah…Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
The wind howled, and the angel in the wind held his head and wailed in pain. Then, the tornado spread in all directions, and the cold storm instantly swallowed up the island and the surrounding sea, freezing it.
"The son of Suanni and the high-ranking sword wizard are praying here!"
Faced with the severe cold that was about to freeze the sea surface, Xue Cai hurriedly raised the Xuexia Wolf in her hand.
"The divine wolf of Xuexia turns the roar of thousands of swords into a shield to quickly eliminate the evil disaster!"
The pure white light turned into a semicircle, enveloping the three people, and almost instantly, the raging blizzard completely engulfed the small shelter.
"call……"
Only then did Setsuna breathe a sigh of relief, then she turned around, glared at Ai Li, and yelled loudly.
"Senior, do you know how dangerous it was just now? You are really..."
However, Setsuna stopped talking before she finished, because the current state of Ai Li could be described as horrible, especially the wound on her abdomen - Yeze Natsune's lightsaber went straight through her body. If it weren't for the vampire's strong vitality, anyone else would have died long ago.
"I'm sorry, Setsuna. I just wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect Natsune to be much wilder than she looks."
Ellie waved her hands weakly and took a deep breath.
"Senior, this injury..."
The body of a vampire can fully recover, especially the True Ancestor, who will not die even if his head is chopped off or his heart is smashed. But right now, the wound on Ellie's body was emitting a sacred aura, which was slowly corroding Ellie's body, with no sign of healing at all.
"It's probably that thing called the Sword of Light..."
Ellie frowned and shook her head.
“Is there a cure?”
At this time, La Freya also spoke.
"It is rumored that the Fourth True Ancestor has twelve powerful beasts. Now that you have not been destroyed, there must be a beast in your body that can resist this power from a higher level. If you can awaken it..."
"There is one, but the problem is that I don't know if I can wake it up."
Ai Li sighed helplessly. She could indeed awaken her Familiar by sucking blood, but the problem was that it was a bit like drawing cards, and each Familiar had different preferences for blood. For example, the golden lion preferred the blood of Setsuna, while the other preferred the blood of Sayaka. Now, even if she sucked Setsuna's blood again, she was not sure whether she could awaken the Familiar she wanted.
"And speaking of which, how am I supposed to suck blood in this situation?"
Looking up, Ellie was extremely depressed at the completely frozen surroundings. The blood-sucking impulse of the vampires in this world came from desire, not just instinctive hunger like in other worlds, so in order to trigger the blood-sucking impulse, they had to be excited, but in the current situation, Ellie felt that it was impossible to be excited.
"That's right."
Hearing Ellie's mumbling, La Freya also started to think.
"Indeed, under the current circumstances, it is difficult to find a boy that suits Miss Ai Li's taste..."
"That's not the question. I'm not interested in men."
When she thought about a man flirting and seducing her, Ai Li felt her hair stand on end. How could she be excited at all? She was about to vomit, okay? !
"So Miss Airi is really interested in girls? If so, then let me do it."
At this point, La Freya suddenly came over, and then she quickly unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her inner skin, and then she moved closer to Ai Li, slowly approaching...
"Wait, wait a minute! Why is it you?!"
But at this moment, Xue Cai grabbed him.
"You don't have to do this!"
"But this is to save you. I and Yeze Natsune have no choice but to do this."
Facing Setsuna's question, La Freya seemed very calm.
"I said..."
Someone's voice seemed to be heard nearby, but Setsuna completely ignored it.
"That's true, but maybe there are other ways..."
"Thank you for worrying about me, but isn't it natural that the rescue should be done by those who can be rescued?"
"Snow green..."
The voice seemed increasingly weak, but Xuecai, whose face was flushed red, did not hear it at all.
"No, this is absolutely not okay!!"
Xue Cai shook her head vigorously.
"I, I'll do it! I'm your partner, so I should be the one doing it!"
"Then I'll leave it to you. Please hurry up, Miss Ellie can't hold on any longer."
"Why……?"
Hearing this, Xuecai was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look to the side, only to see that Ai Li had fallen to the ground with her eyes closed and was silent.
“…Waaaaaah, Senior!!”
At this moment, Xuecai also became panicked, and La Freya next to her also pressed her forehead helplessly.
"Please hurry up, Setsuna."
"Yeah, I understand. It's like artificial respiration. Yes, artificial respiration... Yes, that's it."
Looking at the unconscious Ai Li, Xue Cai took a deep breath, as if to convince herself. Then she raised her finger, stroked the tip of Xue Xia Wolf's gun, and then put it to Ai Li's mouth - but at this moment Ai Li still closed her eyes and looked like she was sleeping soundly.
"It seems that the stimulation is not enough."
"Ugh... can't we do this?"
Hearing the princess's complaints behind her, Xuecai's face turned red. She then cut her wrist again, sucked a mouthful of blood, and then lay on top of Ai Li.
"senior……"
It was the first time that Xuecai had observed the girl in front of her closely. Her white skin, smooth hair, and small cherry lips were all so adorable. Even just looking at her, Xuecai had the urge to hold her in her arms forever and never separate. Then she closed her eyes, forcibly cut off this urge, then lowered her head and fed the blood in her mouth into Ai Li's mouth.
“Woo…”
Feeling the warm blood and soft touch, Ai Li's body trembled slightly, as if she finally reacted. This immediately made Xue Cai happy. However, before she could call Ai Li's name again, an unexpected scene happened - Ai Li stretched out her hand and hugged Xue Cai tightly, and at the same time, her tongue stretched out like a flexible little snake, quickly entangled with Xue Cai.
"senior?!"
This sudden contact made Xuecai's brain go blank, and she froze there, not knowing what to do. But Ai Li did not stop there. On the contrary, she greedily enjoyed Xuecai's clumsy response while reaching into Xuecai's uniform with her other hand. Her white and cold fingers slowly wandered on Xuecai's back and explored down along the girl's graceful curves.
"Wait... wu... Senior... The princess is watching... Don't..."
Although she said words of resistance, Setsuna's struggle was weak. She almost fell into Ai Li's arms in a trance, revealing her snow-white neck defenselessly. At the same time, Ai Li moved in direction like a puppy that smelled delicious food. Then she opened her little mouth and bit Setsuna's slender neck.
At this moment, Xuecai's body suddenly tensed up.
“Wow…mmmm…!!!!!!”
Holding Ellie tightly in front of her, Xuecai bit her lips tightly. It was only because of La Freya's gaze that she was able to use the last bit of her rationality to resist the almost wild impact.
Then, the girl closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep...
