Chapter 151: Cannot let him escape~

“There’s no need for such overly complicated steps to deal with a scum who killed his own teacher... Even without the use of magic, this Missus could chop you into human jerky all the same. It’d be best for Mr. Lan Yu to worry whether his head will still be attached to his body tomorrow~” Bai Ji revealed her canine teeth and smiled as she tightened her grip around her scythe. The demon wings on her back kicked into high gear with a flap, sending dust flying upwards.

“Oh? Is that so?” Lan Yu’s veins protruded as he opened his large mouth to reveal two rows of disorderly large teeth.

“Roar...!!” A dark, greyish turbid gas poured outwards.

Bai Ji’s pupils abruptly contracted. Putting her sickle sideways as if performing on a high bar, she contracted her body and shot her legs outwards at the same time to land a ferocious kick onto Lan Yu’s chin.

“Thud, thud, thud!...” Her feet resembled whips that incessantly struck against him.

After eating this much pain with nothing to show for, Lan Yu immediately stopped spurting out turbid gas while his tight grip over the scythe began to loosen as well.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Ji retrieved Soul Devourer. Her legs continuously trampled against Lan Yu’s abdomen, making “pa-pa” noises. After which, she spread her wings with a flap and took to the skies once more, maintaining her distance to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu narrowed his eyes upon seeing Bai Ji taking to the air once more completely unscathed.

‘Is she planning to have a war of attrition by relying on her flying ability and movement speed?’

With his eyes focused on Bai Ji in the air, Lan Yu muttered an incantation through the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, Bai Ji felt her wings growing heavy. It was as if a large, formless hand had reached out from the ground and was continuously dragging herself downwards.

In a spate of helplessness, she stretched out her demonic wings and slowly gilded downwards.

It seemed as if some invisible change had unknowingly happened to the space around her.

“Hehe, stop wasting your strength. This is [Disaster Class—Eagle-Binding Net]. A spell specialized to deal with creatures capable of flight. It’d be best if you give up on trying. Did you really think that this sovereign being is helpless against you??”

“There are actually people bored enough to invent a [Spell] like this?” Bai Ji withdrew her wings and tilted her head to the side.

“Miss Radiant is misguided. It had actually been your vampire seniors who invented this magic... This humble self had also heard that the hair of the royal family is silver. Pardon me for being presumptuous to ask this, but could you be...”

“Boom!” Once again, another small bat smashed into Lan Yu’s side.

“Hehe... Forget it. Everything will be clear once this sovereign being swallows you!”

“Haaa~ You can eat me or do whatever you like... If you have the ability to accomplish that, that is.” Bai Ji harrumphed and rushed towards him in quick succession.

[Crushing Class— Plundering Swarm]

Countless small bats obscured Lan Yu’s line of sight as they incessantly knocked against his body like raindrops on a window pane.

“Boom!” A small flame bullet exploded on Lan Yu’s back.

“Hmm?” His body swayed slightly. Narrowing his eyes, he turned around.

“L-Let go of Benefactor-chan! You baddie... Awooo...” Blue fell to the ground with a flip after being slapped in the face.

She covered her small, red, swollen cheeks as several wisps of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

“You’d better behave yourself in front of this sovereign being. You’re just a side dish! Don’t interrupt me from cooking and taking care of the main course.”

“Danum et bonodicontur en munde......”

[Disaster Class — The Quagmire of Sloth]

All of a sudden, the soft substance pit that contained Bai Ji began to vanish. As if time had rewinded, it reverted into its embryonic stage and then into a formation before eventually disappearing.

With her shackles now gone, Bai Ji fell to the ground.

“What?! The spell has lost its effectiveness?? ...No way, there is still some magic remaining, how can this...” Lan Yu’s eyes grew wide open, as he didn’t want to believe the oddity that had happened before him.

“Don’t tell me... it has been canceled out??” Lan Yu warily eyed his surroundings for a moment.

Even though he had grasped some of the Deepspeak language used for [spells] as well as the techniques to unleash them, his knowledge regarding them was minuscule at best.

However, he understood that it was completely impossible for problems— such as a spell being interrupted or losing its effectiveness— to surface unless the caster was incapable of paying the magic energy. It was even more unlikely when it came to magic such as the one he was using, which relied on a one-time off magic energy expenditure....

‘Unless someone hiding in the dark has used several times the magic energy this spell requires and complicated Deepspeak as the price to forcefully cancel it out.’

‘No matter what... There is not much magic left in my body...’

‘Shit... I was so close!’

Noticing that Bai Ji lying in front of him was on the verge of awakening from her slumber, Lan Yu ferociously gritted his teeth.

‘It’s definitely impossible to swallow her down in such little time... This brat would definitely wake up in the middle...’

‘Since that’s the case, I will turn every human in this city into my pawns for power!’

When he arrived at this conclusion, Lan Yu murmured a flying spell and flapped his wings. He then shattered the sewer roof into pieces and left.

............

In the darkness.

“Heeh, really interesting~” A silver-haired girl extinguished a streak of scarlet [magic] on her finger, a hint of delightful smile streaking across the corners of her mouth.

She took out a small pink handphone decorated with cartoonish drawings and dialed a number.

“Hey, hey~ Is this Yiyi-chan? It’s me. Ehehe~ I suddenly realized that little student called Ji Bai is very lovable~ I’ve changed my mind~ Help me silence the mouths of those executives in the assembly.”

“That’s right... You definitely, definitely~ mustn’t let him escape. He is mine...”Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
