Chapter 30: You must have misunderstood your own face value...
Chapter 30: You must have misunderstood your own face value...
Yecheng currently plans to temporarily raise his adventurer rank and gather some funds before exploring this world. However, Dao Yangjie intends to continue traveling around the world, so the two naturally parted ways again.
It's worth mentioning that before they parted, they encountered a pair of siblings being attacked by beastmen on the road.
Seeing the siblings being pushed to the limit, Yecheng was about to intervene, but before he could, Dao Yangjie swiftly charged forward.
The previous encounter in the village had not discouraged Dao Yangjie, a strong-willed young man from another realm. He believed that his previous behavior was just an accident.
After all, the villagers had their own religious beliefs, and he had offended them, so it was understandable that they reacted that way.
This time, he rescued the siblings from the ferocious beastmen, and with the heroic aura, the siblings couldn't help but feel grateful.
Dao Yangjie could have used magic to defeat the enemy from a distance, but he chose to condense a light sword using wind magic and bravely charged forward to kill the beastmen.
Yecheng, who was observing Dao Yangjie's battle for the first time, began to analyze his abilities.
According to Dao Yangjie, his magic originated from communicating with micro spirits in the air, borrowing their power to achieve his goals.
Just like the "Sword of Light" in Dao Yangjie's hand, which was created using the power of light sprites.
However, Yecheng noticed that Dao Yangjie's reliance on light sprites' power, although impressive, was not matched by his swordsmanship, which was mediocre at best...
This was not surprising, as the spirits could grant him magic and strength, but not technique. After all, Dao Yangjie was just an ordinary 17-year-old otaku before coming to this world.
Of course, with the sharp light sword and the speed boost from the wind sprites, Dao Yangjie could still easily defeat a few low-level beastmen despite his lack of skill.
A flash of light streaked through the air, and the wooden club that was about to hit the siblings was split in two, along with the beastman holding it.
The other beastman, enraged by its companion's death, raised its club and prepared to attack Dao Yangjie. Just then, a soft male voice echoed from a distance, accompanied by a white lightning bolt about the thickness of a baby's arm.
"Pathbreaking Technique 4: White Lightning!"
The white lightning streaked through the air, crossing tens of meters in an instant, accurately piercing the beastman's brain and dissipating into the sky.
The beastman's body remained frozen in its attacking pose, but as the wind blew, its massive body crashed to the ground, with a small black hole appearing on its forehead.
"Miss, and little brother, are you two unharmed?"
Dao Yangjie had been about to shield the siblings from the second beastman's attack, so he was now close to them.
The sister and brother, who had been stranded in the Otherworld, were about fourteen or fifteen and seven or eight years old, respectively.
"Thank you so much for saving us, my brother and I didn't... Ah, Beastman, don't get close to me!"
The rescued sister and brother saw the Beastman collapse in front of them and realized they had been saved. Hearing the voice beside them, they immediately put on grateful smiles to thank their savior.
However, when the girl looked up and saw the face of the Beastman right in front of her, her smile quickly turned into one of extreme panic and disgust!
Dao Yangjie's looks were already below average in this world, and after a week of starvation, his appearance had deteriorated to the point where it was on par with a Beastman's.
Even though his looks were at the level of a Beastman, Dao Yangjie managed to provide a bit of a filter thanks to the "hero saving the beauty" effect. But to reassure the sister and brother, he forced a smile that he thought was gentle.
However, with Dao Yangjie's current appearance, the forced smile only looked creepy, and Yecheng could see nothing but wickedness in it.
The sister and brother, who had already been pushed to the brink by the Beastmen, were terrified by Dao Yangjie's "malicious" expression. The brother immediately burst into tears, and the girl, fearing what might happen to her, instinctively pushed Dao Yangjie away.
They were standing at the edge of a cliff, and the girl's instinctive push sent Dao Yangjie tumbling down the cliff...
After doing this, the girl seemed to realize that she had done something terrible, but the memory of that creepy face close to hers made her repeatedly reassure herself, "Even if that person wasn't a Beastman's accomplice, he definitely wasn't a good person..."
As if hearing the girl's mutterings, Yecheng approached and said to the still panicked sister and brother, "That person isn't a Beastman, but my companion. Although he looks a bit strange, he did indeed save you. Don't you think your actions just now were a bit too much for someone who saved you?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, the girl was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, covering her face. Her home had been attacked by a group of Beastmen, and her parents had been torn apart while protecting them as they fled. She had managed to bring her brother to this place with great difficulty.
Having witnessed the destruction of her home and the brutal treatment of other young girls by the Beastmen, the girl had developed a deep psychological trauma and fear of Beastmen.
She hadn't intended to push Dao Yangjie off the cliff; his face just looked too much like a Beastman's. She had only meant to push him away, but he ended up falling down the mountain...
(Please note: This sister and brother are not the same as the ones in the original plot, who were too unreasonable!)
Understanding the situation and seeing the girl's self-reproachful tears, Yecheng realized that her actions were not intentional but a result of her heightened state of alert and self-defense.
Dao Yangjie, on the other hand, should have known better. Trying to reassure a panicked girl with a smile when he clearly lacked the looks for it was just asking for trouble.
