Chapter 17 Demoness

“These runes are so old in form, I read I don’t know its specific function, the only thing I know for sure is that it stores a lightning spell with a seventh rank or higher.”

The palm-size girl hovered in the air with dragonfly-like wings flapping, shining brightly. Scale powder continued to spill from her body.

As she spoke, she held her face in one hand and stroked the overflowing lightning with the other.

“Don’t you call yourself an Old Demon woman who lived more than two hundred years old, and even you feel ancient?”

Cass asked suspiciously.

With a “sou” sound, the Demoness flew in front of Cass and shouted angrily with his arms on his hips.

“I’ve said it countless times, don’t call me an Old Demon girl, and don’t bring up the topic of age. Do you understand that talking about age in front of girls is a taboo? Taboo!”

Can you still call yourself a girl when you are over 200 years old? I really don’t understand the time concept of these longevity species.

Cass turned his head away slightly.

“You said your age at the earliest, and I didn’t even think about asking.”

“Is it an emergency at that time! Tell you who you are, you are afraid that you will kill me as a monster, but I was saving you.”

She was even more angry when she said this, and flew directly to Cass He pulled his hair vigorously from his head.

“After I killed several spider monsters with human faces in a row and ran out, a woman with dragonfly wings suddenly flew out and sang on my head, what do you think I would think? Besides, are you demoness so weak that you almost got killed by me, a mortal who won’t even have magic?”

As he spoke, Cass pushed her lightly away from his head. .

Demoness charged Cass’ hair several times, but was blocked by the opponent’s hand. In the end, she had no choice but to sit on Cass’s shoulder and said in a very dissatisfied voice.

“That’s because you humans put all your energy in researching magic on how to kill more efficiently. Our race has never been good at fighting, let alone fighting with magic.”

“But if you are not good at fighting, you can only be slaughtered by others. This is the iron law of this world.”

Cass said seriously.

“Then you’re not the same or saved by me. Do you really think you can beat it?”

Demoness rolled the eyes.

The Demoness sitting on Cass’s shoulder at the moment is called Liz, a companion he met in the Silver Mine.

At that time, he had just cut a bloody path from the monster of Silver Stream Mine. As the last survivor of the black thorn mercenary group, Cass, who was seriously injured, climbed to the hole with his own will to survive. , but eventually passed out due to excessive bleeding.

Cass thought he was doomed before falling into a coma, but in the trance he heard an ethereal singing, and then he felt something warm fall on his face, which made him feel a burst of energy. warmth.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a palm-size girl hovering over his head with dragonfly-like wings, singing and dusting countless shining scales. sprinkled on his face.

Cass grabbed her without a second thought, then pulled out the dagger with all his strength to stab her.

“Wait…wait a minute! Human, you let go, don’t kill me, I’m only two hundred years old, and I’m still very young…”

Finally let him put down the dagger It’s not the other party’s pleading, but the lack of physical strength. As soon as Liz stopped singing, the little energy he had regained disappeared, causing him to pass out again.

When he woke up again, he was already in a forest not far from Thorn City. The Demoness who had rescued him earlier hid in a tall tree and looked at him vigilantly.

Demoness The creatures Cass saw in the orphanage’s comics as a child were said to be beautiful and cunning beings that would induce curious children to disappear into the depths of the forest fog.

However, Cass discovered after the actual contact that they are actually very contradictory creatures, who yearn for the rich life of human beings, but are afraid of the capriciousness of human beings. He has always been in a state of wanting to touch humans and being afraid of humans

Of course, he doesn’t know if all the demoness are like this, after all, he has only seen Liz, a demoness.

“Speaking of which, are you sure it’s just a turn around, that mysterious mage is gone?”

Liz asked suddenly.

“Yeah, just a second or two.”

Liz swayed his calves, deliberately hitting Cass’s shoulders repeatedly with his heels.

“That should be teleportation magic. Putting it that way, since the magic spell is sealed with a lightning spell, it’s very likely that this magic is also related to teleportation.”

“Why is the lightning spell related to teleportation magic?”

Cass asked suspiciously.

“Don’t you even know other magic knowledge at this entry level? The essence of thunder and lightning is a fissure in space, so whether you use summon magic or teleportation magic to open the Transmission Gate, there will be lightning flashes. Ever.”

Cass looked thoughtful nodded, then asked.

“Then what do you think that mage means? Why did you give me this demon seal rune?”

“I can’t stand it anymore, it’s like why should I stay with you? It’s the same around.”

Liz said angrily.

“You can actually go back, although I don’t have the eyes of demoness, I can’t see through the disguise of monsters at a glance, but just take a little time to find some…”

Cass hesitated After a while, he said.

“And then watch you die? Please, I saved you with great effort, so you can’t live to the end of your life in peace and let me recycle my scale powder?”

Demoness’ scale powder is equivalent to an extension of their own life force, which they can connect to other beings. But only when the life that accepted her scale powder comes to an end, can those scale powder be fully recovered. If that life died due to other accidents, about half of the scale powder would be consumed in the struggle before death.

Usually they only sprinkle scale powder on flowers with a short flowering period. Many people see bright flowers blooming out of season, and most of them come from the handwriting of Demoness.

But in any case, they rarely use their life force to save those human beings who are constantly in conflict.

“I’m so grateful you could save me.”

Cass said.

“I’m not grateful that you saved my life, but that you gave me a chance for revenge.”

Liz looked at the man’s expression and hesitated.

“I know my life is not mine, but you lent me. So I assure you that I will absolutely do my best to save this life.”

p>

Cass said, and put the sealed demon rune into his pocket.

“But my former comrades all died in that mine, occupied by monsters who came from nowhere. I’m impossible to be indifferent when I know this. People live the life of an ordinary person at ease. So I won’t stop fighting until the secret mastermind of the whole thing is resolved.”

He said paused, then looked at Liz and continued.

“But it’s your thing after all. If you don’t feel like taking the risk, please take away your scale powder now. Although there will be some losses, it’s better than my death. On the way to revenge, a lot less.”

Liz watched Cass couldn’t speak for a long time, before saying fiercely after a long time.

“It’s so annoying, when all these things are over, you can wait to be the slave in my garden for the rest of your life.”

After she finished speaking, she flew out angrily. .
