Chapter 162: Angelina's Past
β¦β¦ The rest of the story was later mentioned by Woz.
On that day, Woz, who had arrived at full speed in the small town of Carret, was still a step late, and all he saw was ruins.
The little girl she just rescued behind her may be the only survivor. At the thought of this, Woz's eyes fluttered with cold rage.
Ice, burning!
After confirming that the little girl had just fallen asleep from exhaustion, Woz focused all his energy on the demon army.
He pulled out his staff from the ground and threw it into the sky. The tattered staff suddenly turned into hundreds and scattered as if it had performed a doppelganger technique.
These "staff clones" are distributed around the town of Carret, forming a circular encirclement that encloses all the demons.
Then, instead of using the "staff spell", Woz used the powerful magic in his body.
Ice shape, sword bloom!
The silver magic array so large that it covered the entire town took shape in the blink of an eyeβcountless ice swords suddenly fell from the magic array in mid-air, sniping every demon with precision.
All members of the demon army were stabbed by at least three ice swords, and their bodies were transformed into ice sculptures in the shape of blooming roses.
Only the Commander Demon was spared. Because Woz deliberately bypassed him.
"Are you the commander of Augusta's command?" Woz looked coldly at the Great Demon, who was completely languishing at this time, and the flames on the surface of his body were extinguished.
The commander couldn't hide the horror on his face: "You...... Meet His Highness Augusta? β
The current patriarch of the Sword Demon Family, Augusta, one of the most powerful masters in the Remnant Sun Realm, may advance to the new generation of heroes who reinvigorate the clan at any time!
This being, who appears to be a "man" - reminiscent of Woz's bottomless magic, the Commander considers him a member of the "Abyssal Demons", a subordinate or ally of Captain Augusta.
Strictly speaking, this area is the "hunting ground" of the Sword Demon Augusta's family. If you surrender in time, you may be able to live! After all, the other party didn't kill himself directly!
Seeing the expression of the big demon in front of him change, Woz suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, you are not Augusta's subordinate...... In the demon army with the family as the main body, it is almost impossible for the Sword Demon and the Fire Demon to form an alliance. I thought it was my actions that caused the tragedy here...... It seems that what is happening here has nothing to do with my mission. β
Woz looked back at the little girl on the ground, "At least, I won't have to feel too guilty when she wakes up." β
The Commander Demon suddenly pointed at him in horror: "You...... You're the witcher hunting down Augusta! β
It's over, he knows he's going to die today! The man in front of him, but the demon hunter who has been in the limelight the most recently, can only be able to hunt down and kill a powerful existence like Augusta of the Ten Thousand Commanders, and a thousand demon alone is just a piece of cake for him!
"I'm not going to kill you." Woz said something that surprised him, "You can go, I won't kill you." β
"What?" On the contrary, it was the Commander Demon who felt incredible.
Woz put away the magic circle and his staff: "You can get out, I won't kill you." Your life is on hold, and the sins you have committed in this town will be avenged by this girl herself! β
Woxz bent down and gently picked up little Angelina.
This girl has suffered such a tragic thing...... If you want to live a better life in the future, you must find a goal for her - now it seems that there is no more suitable "goal" than killing the enemy with your own hands and avenging her hometown and parents. What's more, looking at the dozen or so demons being slain at her feet, Woz knew that this girl had the strength to take revenge herself!
As for revenge, Woz felt that at that time, she would be able to find her new life.
The Thousand Commander Demon fled, and immediately after leaving, he hid in the Demon Realm, never daring to go to the human world again.
β¦β¦
Angelina breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more relaxed after telling the story she had buried in her heart.
Although this will always be a pain in her heart, at least now she can calmly face that past.
Angelina touched her cheek and didn't cry anymore, it's good, it's stronger!
Then, she looked at Ling Key, wanting to see his reaction.
I saw that the boy was in an absent-minded state, staring at the brass gear in his hand, flying up and down flexibly at his fingertips.
"You ......" Angelina was shocked and angry, feeling that she couldn't help but want to cry at this time.
At this time, Ling Jian suddenly said, "I'm sorry...... I don't know how to comfort you. suffered this misfortune...... I said I don't like tragedy, there are so many tragedies in this world. β
Angelina was stunned for a moment: "No...... Don't comfort me. Thank you so much for listening to me! β
"For your father, for the town of Carret." Ling Key held up the beaker.
Angelina picked up her coffee and touched it with him with a strange expression. Then drink it all.
"Alright, it's almost midnight, you should go upstairs and rest." Ling Jian once again gave the order to evict the guest.
"Huh?" The girl's face was full of unwillingness, "I have told my own story, shouldn't Ling also share one?" β
"Alas......" Ling Jian sighed, "I'm just acting as a listener, not to accompany you to the story meeting!" Let's go to bed! β
Then, Ling Jian pushed the girl out without saying anything.
"Really, I've said it a few times, I don't like tragedy......" At the door, Angelina vaguely heard the complaint of the boy behind the door, "A sad story is already very sad, I don't want to go through the baptism of a second tragedy." β
There was a thud, and the door closed behind him. Angelina wrinkled her nose and glared back with some annoyance.
"What, it's rare that I talked about my own affairs, and he kicked people out without saying anything...... It's stingy! β
The empty corridor made people feel a little cool, and although Angelina had a strong physique, she couldn't help but hug her arms under the psychological effect and walked quickly towards the upstairs bedroom.
On the other side of the door, Ling Key didn't walk away immediately, but looked at the door panel in a daze now.
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, and Ling Jian breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, rubbing his eyebrows vigorously. Then after thinking about it, he opened the door slightly, leaving a little gap and not shutting it shut.
After doing this, Ling Key nodded in satisfaction. Although he still looked suspicious, he still walked into the laboratory in the room.
Standing in front of the spotlessly cleaned experimental table, Ling Jian found that he was not in the mood to continue the experiment or study anything at this time, and his heart was still not calm.
Because in the life he had expected, an intruder suddenly appeared.
Looking up at the ceiling, the upstairs guest room was roughly located directly above the master bedroom according to the structure of the room.
Ling Jian sighed again and left the laboratory and returned to his bedroom desk. Read the book for a while to change your mood and calm down.
I couldn't help but look back at the door and then at the ceiling. Ling Jian shook his head and forced himself to concentrate on the book in his hand.
After a few quick pages, I realized that the book in my hand was the so-called "pop hero" novel. Ling Jian was speechless, threw it away, and flipped through it for an academic magazine specializing in craftsmen.
