Chapter 70 Is he really dead? The blood-red rose on the collarbone blooms wantonly...
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Cecia instantly moved to the location mentioned by the demon. The two sides were still in a tense confrontation, and her arrival broke the deadlock.
"Your Highness! You are here!"
A glimmer of joy flashed in the patrol captain's eyes. He shouted loudly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
This shout was like the sound of a horn, making the demons more powerful. They seemed to have found their backbone and fought harder. Colorful magic fell on the surrounded vampires.
"Your Highness? Are you the Demon King?"
Hearing the other party's address, Wilbert's voice was mixed with disbelief. His eyes swept back and forth over Cecilia, and shock was quickly replaced by anger.
"What do you want?"
"Perhaps, you will have to stay in the demon tribe for a few days."
Meeting that pair of gray-blue eyes, Cecia let out a long breath. She flashed and joined the chaotic and fierce battle.
"Checia! Do you want to start a war?"
Wilbert shouted as he retreated, his voice filled with confusion and anxiety.
"No."
Cecia said softly, but her hands did not slow down at all, "But you have to stay."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Wilbert's eyes, and then he mobilized all his magic power.
The reason why he didn't hurt any demon was because he didn't know the whole story and didn't want to stir up trouble. But at this moment, facing Cecia's relentless pressure, he would not show any mercy.
But his strength was not much different from Cecia's, and the opponent was fighting with a desperate attitude. In addition, the demons nearby interfered from time to time, so he soon fell into a disadvantage.
"You...you really want to make things like this?"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wilbert said coldly.
"Not me."
Cecia smiled wryly and threw a fist with magical wind at Wilbert, but was restrained by his magic for a moment, causing the back of her hand to rub against his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
"The culprit behind all this is your brother, Boris."
Upon hearing the familiar name, Wilbert's body trembled, as if an invisible force was strangling his throat, and even the mobilization of magic power became slow and difficult.
While he was still not able to come to his senses, Cecia quickly moved closer, restrained his hands, and continued to supply magic power to interrupt his magic operation.
"Just tell me where he is and I'll let you go. I'll also send you a human as compensation for the offense."
She whispered in his ear, so softly that only the two of them could hear, "You should have noticed that there are quite a few humans in this instance."
Being too close to Cecia, the wound on her arm was filled with the smell of blood. Wilbert swallowed hard, trying to think about the relationship between his brother and Cecia, but the sweet smell in the air stimulated his instinct.
"This is a good deal for you."
Cecia was still trying to persuade him, but under the temptation of blood, his mind gradually became confused, his consciousness began to blur, and he could not hear clearly what the other party was saying.
The person in her hand did not respond for a long time. Cecilia realized something was wrong. She pinched his chin and turned his head around, then met a pair of blurry and dazed eyes.
Wilbert's face inexplicably flushed, and the blood-red rose on his collarbone bloomed wildly, as if venting his desire at the moment.
"…Are you hungry at this time?"
She asked in disbelief, and the rose on her collarbone began to heat up, burning her skin, as if responding to the other's desire.
Seeing the person in her arms in a daze, completely unable to communicate normally, Cecia closed her eyes and gritted her teeth and shouted, "Stop it."
"Drag him away."
She casually used a spell to restrain the magic power on him, then waved her hands at the soldier in annoyance.
On the other side, the demons cheered when they saw the battle ended so smoothly. The patrol captain commanded several people to come forward and take Wilbert from Cecia's arms.
"Lock him up first and arrange a better room for him."
She originally planned to turn around and leave, but she was afraid that the man would starve to death, so she squeezed a little blood from the wound and fed it to the man before continuing to look for Boris and the teddy bear.
…
"How is it, is there any harvest?"
After searching in vain, Cecia locked onto Kai's position and moved to his side.
At the same time, Kai was carrying a shriveled and lifeless corpse in his hand, and he was walking quickly in a certain direction.
"Look at this."
Seeing Cecia approaching, Kai threw the body in his hand into her arms.
Ji Lin?
She had seen this girl in the dungeon.
Now, Ji Lin's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, there were two shocking blood holes on his neck, all the blood in his body had been sucked dry, leaving only a skin and bones body.
"I can smell the same blood as hers, moving to the southeast."
Kai's expression was serious, and even while he was talking, his speed did not slow down at all, but became even faster.
"The opponent moves very fast. You and I may not be able to catch up even at full speed. Don't hold back... Wait, the opponent suddenly stopped."
"Catch up."
Cecia said harshly, hugging the cold girl in her arms tightly, with strong hatred in her eyes.
Boris...are you still in the dungeon?
She gritted her teeth and turned all her hatred into motivation to chase. Holding Ji Lin's body in her hands, her figure flashed quickly in the air and rushed towards the southeast.
"The smell is getting closer! He's just ahead!"
As the two chased at full speed, the figure in front gradually became clear. The other party stood motionless in front of the bright red cordon, facing the dark and silent place, as if he had made some kind of determination.
"Boris, there is no escape for you."
Cecia said coldly, quickly approaching the figure, mobilizing all the magic power in her body.
This is a great opportunity.
He took the wrong road and ran to the boundary marker. There was no shelter here, and ahead was a contaminated area where he would surely die.
"I’m waiting for you."
As if sensing her arrival, Boris slowly turned around and smiled at Cecia, his eyes falling on the body in her arms, "It seems you have received the gift." "Hill, do you like it?"
The gentle voice was like a poisoned blade, piercing her heart.
Almost subconsciously, Cecia rushed forward, the magic power in her body roaring and surging, trying to devour the person in front of her -
"Don't you like it?"
Boris said softly, without any panic or evasion. He smiled and took a step back, completely stepping into the contaminated land. "Next time, I will give you a better gift."
As he entered, the air around him seemed to solidify, and gray-black particles gathered towards him, wrapping his entire body as if a layer of veil was draped over him.
After Cecia's magic power came into contact with the gray-black particles, it seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible black hole and disappeared without a trace.
The particles jumped excitedly in the air, as if mocking her powerlessness, and even tried to follow the magic track to find her and erode her body together...
"You're going to die!"
Kai's roar was like thunder, exploding in Cecia's ears. He forcibly cut off her connection with magic and pulled her back from the brink of death.
Having lost most of her magic power, Cecia's face turned pale in an instant. She held onto the boundary marker weakly, breathing rapidly.
When she regained some of her sanity, Kai glared at her hatefully and said viciously, "He will definitely not survive if he enters the contaminated area. Do you want to die with him?"
“…Is he really dead?”
Cecia murmured softly, her eyes fixed on the desolate polluted land, complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
"Of course, the magical fluctuations on him are obvious." Kai answered as a matter of course, "Anything with magical power will die if it comes into contact with pollution."
Kai is right, this is common knowledge.
However, she always felt that it was not that simple.
