Chapter 787: Night City: Treating Me Like a Ruthless Killer...
Chapter 787: Night City: Treating Me Like a Ruthless Killer...
We are no longer in the so-called Mythic Era, but in the Degenerate Era. In the past, magicians roamed the land, but now they merely call themselves magicians.
Only those who have reached the "Root" can be called magicians.
In this Degenerate Era, Kiryu Zangyin's strength in the world of magicians is formidable, though he wouldn't dare claim to be the best, he is undoubtedly among the top ranks.
However, facing the white-haired man before him, he is powerless and effortlessly lifted into the air by a single hand.
The man is not only young and unfamiliar, but also possesses formidable magic and immense magical power, making Kiryu Zangyin believe he is an Heroic Spirit, unable to fathom any other possibility.
"Although I am not an Heroic Spirit, but an ordinary human, I doubt you would believe me even if I said so.
If you think I am an Heroic Spirit, and it would ease your mind to know, then believe it."
As Night City's words fell, Kiryu Zangyin, who was held in his hand, wanted to speak, but Night City did not give him the chance, instead, he swiftly snapped his neck.
With a crisp "crack," Kiryu Zangyin in his hand went silent, his aged body slumping down.
After swiftly dispatching Kiryu Zangyin, Night City's hand erupted in flames once more, and he cremated Kiryu Zangyin on the spot.
In just a few moments, Kiryu Zangyin's body, which had been held in his hand, turned into ashes and fell from the sky.
After this, Night City turned to look at the other two present: the Super Lapdog and the Black-hearted Lolita...
When Night City's gaze fell upon them, Kiryu Ganzai, though physically weak and appearing half-dead, resolutely stepped in front of Little Sakura, shielding her behind him.
To be honest, Kiryu Ganzai felt no confidence against the man who had suddenly invaded the Kiryu residence tonight.
The man's power and mystery far exceeded his understanding. Kiryu Zangyin, whom he feared and could not resist, was effortlessly defeated by this young white-haired man in just a few moves.
If even Kiryu Zangyin was defeated so easily, then there was no hope for himself, who couldn't resist Kiryu Zangyin, or for Little Sakura, who was just a child.
Looking at Night City approaching them and at Little Sakura behind him, Kiryu Ganzai's pale face soon showed determination.
"Little Sakura, I will give my life to stop him, and you must take this chance to escape.
Run towards the Faruki residence, remember, no matter what happens, do not turn back!"
After instructing Little Sakura, Kiryu Ganzai quickly gathered his limited magic power, controlling numerous Wing Blade Bugs to fly towards Night City.
Unfortunately, before they could reach Night City, he simply snapped his fingers, and the bugs burst into flames, falling from the sky like burning moths.
At that moment, Night City's figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Kiryu Ganzai, punching him in the abdomen.
The punch, with 99.9% of its power restrained, hit Kiryu Ganzai's abdomen, causing his body to arch like a shrimp, and he vomited bitter water.
Without a second glance at Kiryu Ganzai, Night City stepped over him and placed his hand on Kiryu Sakura's head behind him.
"She's just a child... and she's not even a member of the Kiryu family..."
Kiryu Ganzai never imagined that his life-or-death determination would be so easily shattered before this person.
Even as he lay on the ground, struck down by Night City, Kiryu Ganzai weakly reached out with his right hand, grasping Night City's pant leg in an attempt to stop him from harming Little Sakura.
"To be a lapdog to this extent, you're truly pathetic..."
Ignoring Kiryu Ganzai's plea, Night City nonchalantly placed his hand on Little Sakura's head and began to manipulate his mana.
Surprisingly, Little Sakura, pinned down by Night City, showed no signs of struggling or attempting to escape.
The reason was simple. Little Sakura felt exhausted. After being abandoned by her family, she had entered a den of magic, and just when she thought she saw a glimmer of hope, it was fleeting.
Even if she could return to the Faruzuki family, as Uncle Ganzai said, what would it change? Would her parents and sister still be her family?
The Kiryu family was likely to be destroyed tonight, and she would become completely homeless. In that case, it was better to end this short life sooner.
At least compared to enduring endless torment in the swarm of worms, Little Sakura felt the current outcome was already decent.
"Dying by flames should be painful too..."
Little Sakura closed her eyes, waiting for death, initially thinking she would be burned to ashes like Kiryu Zangyin, praying that the painful process wouldn't last too long.
However, she soon felt a warm sensation flowing from her head into her body and even her magic circuits.
As the gentle and delicate mana flowed through her, Little Sakura couldn't help but wonder how comfortable it felt to be engulfed in flames!
Little Sakura, who had just prayed for a quicker end, suddenly changed her mind and thought that being burned a little longer wouldn't be so bad after all, as it was genuinely comfortable...
"I've found you, you old pervert hiding in the little girl's body. Did you think I wouldn't find you just because you hid in the magic circuits?"
As Little Sakura was enjoying herself, Night City's voice suddenly reached her ears, and soon, she felt her clothes being lifted, exposing her white belly.
The white-haired man in front of her extended a finger and touched her magic circuit.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh———!"
As Kiryu Zangyin's scream echoed, he slowly lowered his hand and retracted his mana, becoming as ordinary as any other person.
"Alright, the old bugger is finally gone for good. I've also healed the injuries caused by your modified magic circuits, and you've just received a proper baptism.
As for you... you probably won't last more than a few days, so I'll let you off the hook.
Take this child and leave. Starting today, this place is my territory. Where you go from here is your own business."
With the disgusting Kiryu Zangyin dealt with, Night City casually used a wind spell to sweep away the foul smell of the burnt worms, then nonchalantly waved at Kiryu Ganzai and Little Sakura as he looked at the Spirit Summoning Array drawn on the ground not far away.
