Chapter 664: Lanchi Experiences the Beauty of Strength
Chapter 664: Lanchi Experiences the Beauty of Strength
As Lanchi leaped down, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them fell silent, except for the howling wind in their ears.
"Meow!"
Lisanxi was also caught in mid-air by Boss Cat's telekinetic magic.
Their silhouettes cut through the night sky of Flower Capital Pariah like shooting stars.
The surrounding clouds felt like soft satin as they brushed past, and with each layer of clouds they penetrated, the city lights below reflected like countless stars scattered on the ground, paving a shimmering path for their descent.
"Boss Cat, I'm counting on you! Your telekinetic magic won't fail!"
Lanchi's bangs were lifted, floating weightlessly before his forehead.
Telekinetic magic was the closest to wind magic. In situations where wind magic could be used for flight or landing, telekinetic magic could often achieve the same.
Falling backwards through the sky of Pariah, as they drew closer to the ground, the city became increasingly distinct. They were surrounded by endless night scenery, with twinkling stars like pearls scattered on a black satin ribbon, and the seemingly reachable moon shone its pale light upon them.
Lanchi experienced the ultimate sense of weightlessness but felt no fear, only holding tightly onto the cat.
"Meow meow! I don't want to go through another shipwreck or plane crash with you!"
Boss Cat felt that whenever he traveled with this guy, they never had a normal landing!
Meanwhile, on the floating castle airship high in the sky.
"Are there any telekinetic or wind magic users?"
Executioner Sergeant Nigel stood by the shattered glass window, gazing down at the dust and mist of the streets a thousand meters below.
What he hadn't expected was that his opponent could break through the reinforced barrier on the airship's glass in an instant—perhaps they were even stronger than he had imagined.
But that was fine; now that they had jumped, he could finally take action without restraint.
Without waiting for his subordinates to bring the flying magic mechanical beast, Sergeant Nigel pressed against the blade of his sword and leaped down.
...
North of Flower Capital Pariah, on the streets.
As the shadows falling from the sky landed, they created a tremendous commotion, echoing through the night like a sudden peal of thunder.
The wide street bore the marks of their impact, and the dust that billowed up filled the surrounding air with a subtle tremor.
The sudden noise drew the attention of passersby in Pariah.
This area was just north of the river in Flower Capital Pariah, a rather bustling district.
Normally, descending from such a height would be considered a dangerous act, but they seemed to have intentionally avoided the crowd and found a safe landing spot.
Curious onlookers gathered from all directions, drawn to the incredible spectacle.
Some residents stepped out of nearby cafes and office buildings, some still holding their dinners, while others wore aprons.
They whispered to each other, speculating about what had just happened.
In the midst of the smoke, Lanchi slowly stood up, still holding the cat.
"Ah, telekinetic magic is indeed not as stable as wind magic."
Lanchi rubbed his head, shaking it slightly as he muttered to himself.
Boss Cat's magic power and telekinetic control were limited. It was already impressive that they managed a forced landing from a thousand meters up; they couldn't expect to match Loren's ability to move through the sky and earth as they pleased.
"Meow meow meow, you scared me to death."
Boss Cat felt that ever since he started traveling with Lanchi, he had been subjected to all sorts of extreme experiences.
Just as Lanchi and Boss Cat's descent from the sky attracted the attention of the citizens, another figure on the street suddenly stood up as well.
Boss Cat had also protected Lisanxi, but he was worried that letting her free fall would kill her, so he hadn't dared to use free fall to reduce her speed.
However, her condition seemed to have worsened. She was enveloped in a strange black mist, and the red light in her eyes grew more intense.
Then, she let out another ear-piercing shriek, filled with despair, pain, and anger.
The streetlights around Lisanxi flickered erratically, and even the pure moonlight seemed pale and weak under the influence of this cursed mist.
This sudden shriek immediately caused widespread panic among the surrounding crowd.
"There's a demon going berserk!"
"Is she cursed or something?"
"Run for your lives!"
In an instant, the curious onlookers' expressions turned from shock to fear, and they scattered in all directions, turning into a chaotic tide as they tried to escape the imminent threat to their lives!
"Boss Cat, use Provoke."
Lanchi immediately gave the command.
"Meow!"
Boss Cat understood Lanchi's intention.
Currently, Lanchi had no cards in his hand, and the white, blue, and purple cards were all on Boss Cat.
Boss Cat was extremely reluctant, but he took out the [Slow-acting Error Cure] that Lanchi had placed on him and threw it to Lisanxi.
Lisanxi's shriek became even more piercing, and when she turned her neck, the red light in her eyes locked firmly onto Boss Cat, who was in Lanchi's arms.
"Boss Cat, use Telekinesis."
Lanchi continued to instruct Boss Cat to fight Lisanxi.
"I can't do it, meow! I can't control her anymore, meow!"
Boss Cat discovered that the [Slow-acting Error Cure] seemed to aggravate Lisanxi's berserk state. Originally, he had been able to keep her under control, but now she had completely lost it.
Breaking free from Boss Cat's telekinetic restraints, Lisanxi accelerated in an instant and pounced towards Lanchi and Boss Cat.
However, Lanchi wasn't worried. At this moment, he could use a seventh-rank wind magic spell without any special effects to blow her away and then take control and bring her away.
It wasn't safe to stay in the busy downtown area any longer.
"Meow!"
Just as Boss Cat was about to use [Howl of the Storm Dragon]...
A figure with gray hair and golden eyes appeared in front of Lanchi, accompanied by a gathering of light.
Not only did she use the magic at her fingertips to interrupt Boss Cat's skill, but she also extended her other hand and grabbed Lisanxi's forehead, instantly immobilizing her.
"... "
Talia closed her eyes, sensing the source of Lisanxi's berserk state more clearly.
"Ahh!"
Lisanxi screamed, her soul filled with fear, yet she continued to struggle against Talia.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, a black, meteor-like figure plummeted, creating a spider web of cracks and a deep pit on the ground upon impact.
Executioner Sergeant Nigel, who had been pursuing Lanchi, had already drawn his sword and transformed into a black shadow, charging towards Lanchi!
"No, sister..."
At that moment, Lanchi's expression turned a little hopeless.
He felt that things might have gotten out of hand.
It had now turned into the worst-case scenario—a big brawl.
Whenever he thought of going east, Talia would want to go west.
He almost forgot that his previous partners were Siberiane and Sigrid, teammates with whom he had perfect chemistry (or rapport).
But this time was different.
His companion was a female demon with whom he was completely incompatible.
Now, he might have to forcibly fight the Executioners of the Senate right here in the bustling downtown area of Flower Capital Pariah.
Professor Bolao, I apologize, but as long as Tata and I don't end up in prison tonight, we've succeeded!
The pursuing Executioner Nigel resembled a black hunting hawk in a diving stance, his blade like the Grim Reaper's scythe, aimed at Lanchi, who stood in front of Lisanxi and Talia.
"Submit to me."
Talia, her eyes open once more, stared intently at Lisanxi and spoke slowly and clearly.
She finally confirmed that Lisanxi's contract as a citizen of Birsen had been broken or corrupted by a curse, becoming the trigger for the demons to self-destruct.
The frenzied Lisanxi froze, her eyes empty and hollow as if she had heard a divine edict, staring at Talia. She gradually slumped to the ground, unconscious.
The hideous, mutated demonic appearance slowly softened, returning to Lisanxi's originally beautiful self.
"?"
Just as Nigel's blade was about to reach Lanchi, he suddenly stopped.
Not only did he sense the danger emanating from the woman who had appeared beside Lanchi, but he also noticed that the cursed demon had calmed down.
Nigel's eyes narrowed as he incredulously observed Lisanxi, who lay on the ground, sleeping like an infant.
For a moment, he wondered if this was an illusion.
Never before had there been a case where a demon, once afflicted by the frenzy curse, could be restored.
Just like the kin he had slain with his own hands, those irredeemable sins for which he had prayed countless times.
Yet, all he received in return was deeper despair and regret.
The Executioner Sergeants riding the magic mechanical beasts soon descended from the sky, surrounding them.
"What happened?"
"Her frenzy has been suppressed?"
"Could it be that we misdiagnosed her condition? Is she not afflicted by Palroni's curse?"
The crowd, still gathered in the distance, and the approaching Executioner forces continued to retreat, but some among them began to observe the situation, voicing their confusion.
Unsure of what had just transpired, the perplexed sergeants could only look to their commander, Nigel.
However, at that moment, Nigel could barely hold onto his sword, his hand trembling.
This situation exceeded all of Nigel's previous understanding.
One day, he too would die.
He would go to the place where he needed to atone for his sins.
The shadow of the curse followed him relentlessly.
When he wanted to explore the endless questions beneath the abyss, sometimes it felt as though everything was happening all over again, and no one could change the status quo.
Was it because the symptoms of this cursed demon girl were different from the past, or was there truly someone who could save them?
"..."
Lanchi stared at Talia, unsure of what she had done to so effortlessly cure Lisanxi of the legendary Grand Wizard Palroni's curse from Birsen Kingdom.
Professor Bolao probably never imagined that after all his research into Palroni's magic artifacts, Talia would be able to break the curse so forcefully.
Although their descent from the sky was unexpected, the outcome seemed to be turning favorable.
"I used the power of the Demon King to forcibly bring her under my command, overriding her original contract."
Talia communicated through her thoughts.
However, this was equivalent to enslaving Lisanxi, and if her freedom was returned, she might frenzy again. This method addressed the symptoms but not the root cause.
To truly save Lisanxi, they still needed to find the culprit who had broken her contract.
Moreover, this method of subjugation through the Demon King's command would only work on much weaker demons; it would be impossible to control a seventh or eighth-rank demon in this way.
"..."
Lanchi fell into deep thought.
A hundred years ago, when this curse emerged, the war between humans and demons had already ended.
There were no powerful demons left in the Birsen Kingdom.
For the humans and demons of Birsen, the true Demon King existed in a dimension beyond their understanding.
Even though Talia might be the most disgraceful Demon King in history.
Suddenly, Lanchi felt Talia's gaze.
But she had indeed obtained six of my marks through her own prowess; she was too beautiful and powerful.
Lanchi's thoughts took a turn.
Only then did Talia slowly avert her gaze.
Not far away, on the street, Executioner Sergeant Nigel, who had been silent for a long time, finally moved again.
"Lord Tiffany, an unexpected situation has occurred. The supposedly cursed demon has stabilized. How should I proceed?"
He sheathed his dark red longsword, withdrew it from its waist, and once more picked up the communication magic artifact to report.
There was silence on the other end of the communication for a long time.
"You decide."
Lord Tiffany gave the instruction and hung up.
"..."
Nigel stared at the unconscious Lisanxi on the ground, unmoving.
He hesitated, unsure of how to handle the situation.
