"Do you really think you are her father?"

While running up the stairs, Igula, who was following Ash, suddenly asked.

As soon as they left the extremely dangerous game floor, Yaxiu and Banji had a brief but decisive quarrel - Annan was on the 86th floor, and Liz was on the 56th floor. According to the character activity map shown in the Gospel, Annan was fighting with several people, and Liz was being chased by one person, so Banji hoped that everyone would go to support Annan first.

Igula and Harvey had no objection to this, but Ash was the only one who wanted to go down and find Liz.

Because time was tight, they took action immediately after expressing their opinions. Pancake took the elevator up, Ash ran down the stairs, Igula made a gesture to Harvey, and then the Necromancer and the Butler went to flatter the boss, and the Fraudster accompanied the worst employee of the year to pick up the children.

There is no doubt that Ash's failure to distinguish between public and private affairs will definitely cause dissatisfaction from Banji and Annan.

After all, Liz doesn't seem to be in any danger, but Annan is about to give up. Yaxiu, you actually put your boss behind your cheap daughter. It's unreasonable and unacceptable. Do you really think the firm is your home?

In fact, Igula didn't understand either. He knew that although Ash was smarter than an ogre, more resourceful than a goblin, and his brain could escape at any time, he was not a social degenerate who couldn't distinguish between priorities.

Judging from the situation, everyone should go together to rescue An Nan first and then look for Liz, but he insisted on dividing the forces.

If anything goes wrong, Ash will be fully responsible.

In fact, Igula should have gone with Panji to rescue Annan, but this would make them seem to be isolating and ostracizing Ash. Even if it was to show the cohesion of the outsiders, Igula had to go downhill with Ash. Although Annan would inevitably hate him in the future, Igula was not too worried because he had Ash as his mocking follower.

"How is that possible?" Ash's voice interrupted the dense footsteps: "I am an unmarried man, far from being old enough to be a father."

"Then why do you care so much about Liz that you can't even wait for a few minutes? If we go to rescue Annan together, we should be able to deal with those enemies quickly, and then turn around to rescue Liz. Isn't this a more reasonable solution?"

"Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that? Blame me."

"Are you playing dumb in front of me?" Igula reached out and patted Ash on the head. "Even if time is tight, how could you not even make this judgment?"

"I really didn't think that much just now-"

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

Turning a corner of the stairs, Ash said helplessly: "Liz is different from Annan."

"Ahaha, I can only hope that the difference you're talking about isn't the difference in their bodies." Igula sneered, "There are too many differences between them, like their names are different."

"Let's not talk about the force aspect first. The most important thing is," Ash said, "their mentality is different."

"Mindset?"

Igula was slightly startled. As a psychic, he instantly understood Ash's subtext.

"No matter how critical the situation is, An Nan can stay calm." Yaxiu said, "Because she knows that many people care about her, her mother Qinna, her housekeeper Panji, her cattle and horses... She has so many reasons to persevere. She believes that time is on her side. She is sure that many people are rushing to save her. She has hope in her heart."

"But Liz is different, she..."

Ash paused, as if searching his knowledge base, and finally found the worst example: "She is very similar to you."

"She doesn't look like that."

"She didn't know if anyone would save her, and she didn't know if she was valued. Time was on Annan's side, because with every passing second, she felt that reinforcements would arrive the next second. Time was not on Liz's side, because with every passing second, she felt that she was being abandoned at this very second."

"She acts like a spoiled child because she thinks she will be favored, and she is sensible because she suspects she will be abandoned. Igula, Liz has always been a smart and sensible child." Ash smiled: "Although I have never seen her, I feel that she is very similar to you when you were a child."

"She doesn't look like that."

"So even if it's just me, I have to go find her first." Ash jumped down the stairs and stomped heavily on the concrete floor. "Maybe even if I get there it won't help, and I might even get caught, but at least I can tell her with my actions - no matter what, keep hope."

"So, she doesn't look like that." Igula followed Ash's steps: "I haven't fallen to the point of relying on others to give me hope."

"Be more tolerant of children, Aunt Borgin."

"But you still didn't answer my question. You only explained why you wanted to save her, but you didn't explain why you valued her so much."

"Have you forgotten that I have a contract with her? I must protect her."

"Is it just because of the contract?"

"Another insignificant reason is..."

…

…

Ash held Liz's hand, lifted her onto his shoulder, and spanked her hard on the butt. Liz couldn't help but let out a cry.

"You only know how to get into trouble. You always ask me to save you." Ash pretended to be angry and snorted, "I wonder if you dare to disobey me in the future!"

Ash feels that Liz hasn't been respecting him enough recently. She used to call him dad, but recently she has been mixing up the terms "Ash" and "Dad". She even dares to tease him in front of Harvey - it's okay if she does it in private, but how can you not give me face in front of outsiders!

If this continues, Liz will probably evolve into a bastard who says, "Hey, give me some money." This is a great opportunity to establish the authority of adults. For the healthy growth of Liz, it's time to strike hard!

Igula on the upper floor had a strange look on his face. He never expected that the main reason why Ash saved Liz first was to show off in front of the little girl.

This guy has the nerve to say that I look a lot like Liz. I think you look a lot like Liz. We are just two little brats who have not grown up.

Diya covered her blushing face, wishing she could turn back to her original form and beat this guy up, but unfortunately she couldn't. She had grown up and even the witch had never spanked her, but Ash actually dared to spank her!

When I saw Ash just now, I should have given my body back to the little witch immediately!

After all, the little witch’s butt can be spanked, but she is a secret princess. How can she face the White Queen and the others in the future?

Wait... Diya's face changed and she patted Ash's back hard: "Run!"

boom!

The ceiling collapsed with a loud bang, and Ash immediately hugged Diya and got away from the previous position, and was almost hit by steel bars and stones.

"He's not dead yet?" Ash looked at the pile of rubble with a serious expression.

After he and Igula discovered that the staircase at the 56th floor was blocked, they came to the 57th floor. Through the Gospel, they determined that Liz's pursuer was right below them, and quickly formulated a battle plan - Igula sent out a psychic scream to create a gap, and Ash dropped directly from the sky to kill the enemy.

The attack miracle that Ash chose this time was not the sword painting, nor was it his special liking, but the miracle he was best at - the sword barrier!

His sword barrier is a miracle of defense that combines offense and defense. It's fine if the enemy uses long-range attacks, but if they come into close contact with the sword barrier, not only will the attacks be offset by the sword barrier, they will even be cut by the sharp sword energy of the sword barrier!

The sword energy of the sword body barrier comes from the 'Earth Sword', and then is shaped by the 'Wind Wall'. Because the Earth Sword is connected to the earth, the sword energy is indestructible - if you can't blow up the earth, you can't penetrate the sword body barrier - unless you can penetrate the sword body barrier instantly, otherwise whoever dares to hit the sword body barrier with an egg against a stone, it is definitely not the sword body barrier that will be broken.

But in actual combat in the virtual world, basically no virtual world creature will go head-on with the sword body barrier. They either give up immediately when they feel it is too difficult, or directly switch to long-range attacks.

Even creatures in the virtual realm know to avoid its sharp edge, let alone magicians.

Therefore, the attack effect of the sword barrier has always been quite useless, and it can be called the sword of kindness. The current record is 0/10/65 - it has been broken at least 10 times and assisted in protecting team members 65 times.

But Ash keenly discovered that this terrain was the perfect opportunity for the Sword Body Barrier to show off.

The biggest flaws of the sword barrier are two points: it must rely on the ground and cannot move. This is why it is called a "barrier". It can only passively take hits and cannot actively attack.

Yes, the sword barrier cannot be moved, but wouldn’t it be okay to just smash the ground?

Although the sword barrier relies on the ground, the ceiling is also the ground!

So Ash thrust his sword in, letting the sword barrier condense on the ceiling directly below him, and then used the Heart Sword to cut the floor, and combined with Igula's Psychic Scream control, Ash finally implemented his idea perfectly -

Miracle·Air Raid Sword Barrier!

"The damage should be enough. The enemy is also shocked by the Psychic Scream and should not have time to react..." Ash put Diya down, his eyes flickering: "Could it be..."

Igula opened the Gospel directly: "Tell me everything you can tell me about that person!"

Gospel: "(Consume 30 Gospel Points) The other party's name has been hidden."

"Position: Secret Guard of Yisu, representing the Yisu royal family in the country, with administrative authority second only to the royal family, and the right to control all imperial units."

"Professional authority: Secret guards have intelligence authority second only to the royal family, and can view any intelligence for free."

"Professional Authority: Weaving: The Secret Guard has the miracle authority second only to the royal family. They can call upon the royal family's gospel points, pray for miracles and even miracles from the omniscient weaver through the gospel, and weave their fate as they wish."

"Professional Authority: Darkest Night: The armor of the Secret Guard is endowed with the blessing of 'Darkest Night', automatically consuming Gospel Points to resist all damage."

"Professional Authority: Requiem Prayer: The soul of the Secret Guard is granted the blessing of 'Requiem Prayer', automatically consuming Gospel Points to heal all spiritual damage."

There was a long list of professional permissions below, but Igula was too lazy to read it. He hurriedly shouted: "Ash, don't--"
