Chapter 11 Chapter 11 So, I want to use my body to resist...
The visitor had dazzling silver hair like stars falling down to his waist, his plain white robe fluttered in the wind, his sleeves sparkling with tiny specks of light, and in his hand he held a snow-white horn.
Behind him, three pairs of giant wings slowly spread out, and each feather exuded an aura that was impossible to look directly at.
...Just looking at the silver hair and clothes, Lin Miao almost thought it was Mr. Zhiling who had logged in from another place, but the completely different face and the light blue pupils quickly dispelled her illusion.
The clear and ethereal voice resounded throughout the Mujia Mountains, startling the birds in the forest and causing them to flap their wings and fly.
"I am Gabriel, the leader of the six-winged angels."
"Cerberus, this is not the place for you."
Reese had her back to Lin Miao, and she could clearly see the demon's back slightly bent and shoulders sank, in an obvious attacking posture.
His voice was also amplified by magic, full of vicious provocation.
"Who do you think you are to control me?"
Gabriel was not affected by him at all and said calmly, "Creatures of Hell, you are not allowed to enter the Angel Temple without permission."
"If I don't leave, what can you do?"
The demon responded lazily, as if it wasn't enough, and added a few mocking laughs at the end.
The archangel's eyes passed over him and cast towards the main hall, and his words without any emotion were spoken lightly.
"Anyone who trespasses into the Red Lotus Palace will be turned to dust."
His arrogant laughter stopped abruptly.
After a moment of dead silence, the air was filled with high-temperature aftermath.
When the devil spoke again, his voice seemed to be mixed with polar ice, and each word popped out from between his lips and teeth.
"What did you do to her...?"
He turned around suddenly, and thick black fog rose in an instant. He actually wanted to use demonic energy to forcibly break through the temple's restrictions and tear through space to travel.
The horn was placed to the angel's lips, and the clear and melodious sound turned into an invisible confinement, blocking Reese's way.
"You can't go in."
Before he finished speaking, hellfire ignited out of nowhere, like a dark red lightning that tore through layers of divine power, rushing straight towards Gabriel with destructive force, without holding back at all.
——Reese was completely enraged.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time Lin Miao saw the angry head fight seriously.
Gabriel stretched out his wings, avoiding the first wave of magical attacks; the second and third flames followed one after another, carrying the rage of the guardians of hell. The hideous faces of the monsters who died in the hellfire appeared in them, roaring and howling, and countless resentful curses came together.
The archangel was forced to gather his six wings together, forming a shield of light to resist. The inextinguishable force was rebounded, smashing deep pits into the pure white square, and the entire palace complex trembled.
Seeing that Reese had broken free from the restraints and was trying to tear open the space again, Gabriel blew the horn for the second time.
The golden sound waves turned into countless light blades, spinning in the air, rushing towards Reis, and hitting him in the face.
Flames moved around the demon like living things, his long black and red hair fluttered wildly, and the chains wrapped around his waist and abdomen seemed to have their own consciousness. The awakened silver python pulled out from his waist one section at a time, and the head end fell steadily into the palm of the man's hand.
It is both a shackle and a weapon.
Reese gave a light squeeze, the chain straightened, and the hellfire obediently attached itself to the cold metal.
Then, he walked straight towards the sky full of light blades and swung his hand casually.
The chains, swathed in scorching flames and bearing the weight of mountains and rivers, roared down with the force of thunder. The two forces, powerful enough to move mountains and seas, collided fiercely, squeezing and distorting the air, emitting waves of light interwoven with different colors.
The original intention of the square design was obviously not to bear such an unbearable weight on life. After this blow, it collapsed into ruins unsurprisingly.
When Reis tore open the space for the third time, even Lin Miao could see that the color of his flame had dimmed considerably. After seven days of suppression and the recent heavy consumption, the magic power in his body was already running low.
"Give up, you can't beat me."
Gabriel, who was at home, had a constant supply of faith to replenish. He raised his hand, and the divine power turned into a sword and shot at the devil, trying to force him to withdraw his strength.
But this time, Reese didn't block or dodge. He even removed his defensive defenses and, almost frantically and desperately, poured all his magic power into the space door in front of him.
The archangel's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately understood the devil's intention.
Because he knew better than anyone that his strength was not enough to open the next space channel.
...So, he wanted to use his body to withstand the sword in exchange for the last chance to reach her.
——But the devil was still a step too slow.
The moment the lightsaber pierced his chest, Reese's magic power quickly drained from his body, and the powerful shock wave threw him into the air.
He could only watch as the half-formed space gate collapsed like bubbles, leaving behind an empty phantom, just like the devil's unspoken promise.
But...how could he not be able to protect a human being?
He thought confusedly a second before he lost consciousness.
He wanted to help her solve the problem and keep her safe.
Then, the demon was slammed heavily against the door of the main hall and slid down little by little.
Blood spurted out, staining the white jade steps in front of the palace gate red, and also staining everything Lin Miao could see red.
…It’s time for her to appear.
Lin Miao felt calmer than ever before. She took a deep breath and suppressed the rumbling soreness in her heart.
Putting on a "stop all war" shield on herself, she forcefully opened the door of the temple.
Without even glancing at the dazed archangel, Lin Miao leaned over and embraced the unconscious demon.
A kiss lightly touched the corner of his lips.
The intimacy value broke through the top scale, and a lavender halo washed over the icon with thorns painted on it.
"Skill upgrade: "Thorns (Level 2)""
"Your control over the thorns is really getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps you will soon become the true master?
(Note: The skill can be used three times in a row, and the cooldown time is reduced to six hours. The current skill has been upgraded, please use it wisely!)
It's like giving you a pillow when you're sleepy.
Lin Miao narrowed his eyes and clicked the trigger again.
Thorns shot out from the cracks in the earth, greedily wrapping around Gabriel's limbs and tightening continuously.
With the ability of the Archangel, the effective duration of the confinement is probably only the minimum five minutes. Lin Miao did not dare to slack off and followed with the next skill.
Apparition
…
Lin Miao took Reese "randomly" to a town inhabited by humans.
Looking at the tall city walls, Lin Miao felt complicated.
To be fair, if she were alone, she would be happy to feel the atmosphere of fireworks after a period of no one paying attention to her.
But the premise is that she is alone.
After taking a look at the diamond-shaped wound on the demon's body that was obviously caused by the sword, the clothes that were torn into strips, and the silver chain that was wrapped around his waist again, Lin Miao fell silent.
To make matters worse, she had no common currency in this world.
It’s okay, it’s okay, Lin Miao comforted himself.
A true warrior is not afraid to face the storm!
Five minutes later, Lin Miao supported Reis and began her passionate performance in front of the guards at the city gate.
"We were a newlywed couple on our honeymoon...but we never expected to be attacked by bandits while walking through the forest...and all our money was stolen..."
"My husband was injured while trying to protect me... His clothes were torn during the fight..."
"What? This chain? Oh, those bandits tied it there. We luckily escaped and were running all the way, so we didn't bother to deal with it..."
"Anyway, that's it... We had nowhere else to go and ended up here by accident."
The girl guarding the city gate was a heroic young woman who had grown up in the city since childhood. She had a simple and kind heart. When had she ever encountered such a tragic and tragic experience? She immediately felt for Lin Miao's misfortune and decided to help the poor couple.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry for what you've been through," the girl said sincerely. "My family owns a hotel in the city. If you don't mind, perhaps you could stay there temporarily. You can pay for the room when you have more money."
Just what I wanted.
Lin Miao wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and gave a grateful smile.
"Really? Thank you so much! My name is Lin Miao, you can just call me Miaomiao."
"Miao...Miao sister," the girl seemed a little embarrassed and added the word "sister." "My name is Evelin, just call me Eve."
Evelin still had to stand guard, so she asked her sister, who came to bring her food, to take Lin Miao to her family's hotel and arranged for her to stay in a room on the second floor.
After some trouble, Lin Miao finally moved Mr. Devil to the bed and moved a rattan chair to sit beside the bed.
Since the skill clearly stated "Absolutely Safe", she assumed that the Archangel would not find this place.
Reese's wound has shown signs of healing. Now we just need to wait for him to wake up, and then we can start to finish this "copy".
Lin Miao, feeling relieved, held his chin with one hand and began to have the energy to fantasize about the unconscious three-headed dog.
——Sure enough, no matter how many times she saw this demon, she would marvel at how such a demon could exist that could step on her face and run over her.
She pondered aimlessly the probability of bringing him back to the modern era and raising him after she had earned his loyalty and completed her mission of controlling the spirit. Her naked gaze traced his black half-finger gloves, the chain, and the silver bells on his collar, all the way across his heroic eyebrows, the upturned corners of his eyes, the steep bridge of his nose, and finally landed on the distinct line of his lips.
The lips are full and look kissable.
She had only touched the corner of his lips, and she didn't know what it would feel like to actually kiss him. Lin Miao unconsciously reached out, her fingertips lingering on his lower lip.
Her wrist was grabbed firmly.
…
Reese's consciousness was trapped in a void.
Endless darkness surrounded him, like an invisible net, holding him tightly. His limbs felt heavy as lead, and even breathing became difficult. Countless hands tugged at his body, trying to drag him deeper into the abyss.
Fragmented images kept flashing before his eyes: she asked him if he was an angel and would not fulfill her wish, she praised him for doing a good job, and her back as she turned and entered the Red Lotus Palace, gradually walking away.
Don’t…don’t…
His soul floated in the cold void.
The sweet and fishy taste of blood filled his mouth. He wanted to shout, but no sound came out, as if something was strangling his neck.
Will he die?
This word was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
He creates death every day, and he never envisions his own death.
But there was a faint voice in his heart telling him that he should not be afraid of death, and in fact, he should look forward to death.
...maybe.
But not now.
He promised to bring her back safely.
The devil never breaks his promise, even if she never hears it.
Reese struggled desperately, trying to break free from the force that was pulling him down and get a moment's respite from the airtight cage.
The familiar delicate touch with just the right warmth suddenly descended upon him, creating ripples in his chaotic perception.
Like a drowning traveler grasping at the last straw, he instinctively clung to that warmth.
His golden eyes snapped open, his vocal cords reacting faster than his brain.
“…Lin Miao!”
