Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 128

Jing Shen could only awkwardly scratch the back of his head and ask, "Um... how do you look like a magician?"

"I have proof."

The boy spoke in a serious tone, then pulled a long, black stick crackling with electricity from his crotch beneath his shirt, saying, "This is a magic wand."

"Wait! Isn't that a police baton?"

Jing Shen, covered in sweat, complained in a slightly frantic voice.

"Because it's new material."

The boy swung his baton forward and explained.

Anyway, this woman isn't a professional magician, so a quick fooling around will suffice.

"Do not make jokes!"

Even if I'm not a magician, I'd recognize a police baton, right? Stop messing around and give up.

"Oh no, we need to call an ambulance."

Looking at the student who was still unconscious, Jing Shen decided not to bother with him and took out his phone to call the hospital.

"That's unnecessary."

"Don't act like it has nothing to do with you; you have to come with me too."

The girl seemed to have forgotten that they were on the other side of the coin, and the ambulance coming from the other side wouldn't be able to reach them.

"Ok?"

The boy was puzzled by Jing Shen's words. He tilted his head slightly, his face expressionless, but looked at her with a questioning gaze.

"Let's get out of here and not stay locked up in this place."

The Cleansing God helplessly shrugged and spoke to the boy in the wizard's robes.

"I also have my own purpose, and I cannot leave because of this purpose; I must stay here."

The boy blinked and said to Jing Shen with a serious expression.

"No, to be precise, my goal can only be accomplished by an alchemist."

The boy seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head away, and added at the end.

"Since she's your companion, there's no need to lock you up here."

Jing Shen, with preconceived notions, assumed that the boy had been forcibly imprisoned here.

“I was already here before Aureos took over this place.”

The boy gazed out the window and said in a calm voice, "I just felt there was no need to leave, which is why I didn't leave."

"Because leaving without permission might attract 'that thing'."

You can leave, but there's no need.

"So the reason you've been hiding here is to avoid being discovered by vampires?"

Do you know what a vampire is?

The boy's eyes changed slightly when Jing Shen mentioned vampires. He turned to Jing Shen and asked, "Do you know what a vampire is?"

"Forehead……"

Hmm, good-looking? Can't be exposed to light? A long-lived species that lives by sucking blood?

The Pure God's understanding of this creature comes from literature and its derivative works; he knows nothing about it in reality.

"No difference."

The boy looked into her eyes and gave an unexpected answer in a calm yet firm tone.

"Ok?"

"Just like me."

Jing Shen was startled by the boy's words and stared at his handsome face without saying a word.

"...people who would take action to make others smile are just like that."

"But the sweet scent of my blood will draw them in. Draw them in, gather them, and kill them. For no reason at all."

The boy looked away, his sorrowful eyes holding a story.

P.S.: I ate too much tonight and was so sleepy, so I set my alarm for 8 pm and went to bed. I woke up at 2 am sharp to write. People are forced to work hard, lol.

Chapter 220 The Sweeping Monk of the Magic World

Chapter 220

"And they will all be slaughtered."

Jing Shen was surprised by this statement and watched the boy's retreating figure without saying a word.

"Academy City is researching superpowers, so they should know the secret of my ability. If they know the secret, they should be able to get rid of this ability too."

"However, no one knows the secret of my abilities, and I don't want to kill anymore..."

"If I continue to kill others, I've decided to try killing myself."

"Answer me a question."

Jing Shen raised his head and looked at the other person's back, as if trying to pierce through their heart.

"If you don't want to attract vampires, why do you go outside to eat?"

And I ate a whole thirty of them at McDonald's! I was so full I was practically slumped over the table.

“It’s simple. The reason Aureos needs me is because she needs vampires. If I stay inside the barrier, I won’t be able to attract vampires.”

The boy turned to look at her and said this in a calm tone, as if he were telling someone else's story.

"But that's the opposite of what you're looking for."

The contradictory statements puzzled Jing Shen.

“Aureos assured me that she would never harm a vampire. Aureos once said that she wanted to save someone, so she needed the power of a vampire. So I made a deal with her that she didn’t want to hurt anyone, but to use my power to save someone.”

Perhaps because he believed that his supposedly unfortunate ability could help others, the boy's eyes gleamed slightly as he spoke.

“You can’t do this…”

Jing Shen had never met the alchemist, but everything she had experienced since entering this place told this amnesiac woman that the other party was definitely not a kind person.

“If she is as kind as you say, we can’t let her continue down the wrong path.”

The girl clenched her fists tightly.

"If she continues down the wrong path, things will really get out of control."

Just as Jing Shen was trying to persuade the girl in front of him, a series of unhurried footsteps slowly approached from the dark corridor.

"What irreparable mistake do you think I would make?"

A magnetic voice appeared, accompanied by an elegant figure, and Jing Shen instantly tensed up.

"She is..."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be there for you right away."

Jing Shen's pupils dilated instantly, because she discovered that the woman in the suit who had opened her arms to indicate that she had no intention of attacking had appeared in front of her just as she had said.

Combined with the dim lighting and eerie atmosphere, it was as if a ghost were passing by!

"Of course you'll have questions, but I'm not obligated to answer them."

"You guy!"

The divine sense detected the hostility this seemingly respectable woman harbored towards him, and he realized that she could manipulate innocent students into performing magical rituals without hesitation and without any regard for their physical well-being.

The girl, feeling an itch in her right hand, didn't hesitate to grab her fist and slap it across her face.

The alchemist raised an eyebrow, and instead of dodging, she moved her lips:

"You are not allowed to come any closer."

Jing Shen's body was as if it had encountered a magnetic pole of the same sex, and was instantly bounced back two meters away, so the punch naturally missed.

"hateful!"

He stepped forward again and threw a punch. The green-haired alchemist stood there, not moving. He only needed to take two steps forward to punch that arrogant face with his right fist.

However, it was as if an invisible wall had appeared in front of Jing Shen's body, firmly holding her in place and preventing her from moving. Naturally, her second punch missed, and she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit blood.

“…W-why?”

The girl was very surprised by this unscientific thing. She had seen Tyr's magic before, but he only said one sentence and did not take out any runes or anything. How did he do that?

"Disappointing. Girl, you're so boring."

Aureos shook his head in disappointment, because the other party couldn't even understand his probing, and was obviously even less capable than he had imagined. Was this the kind of monster Tyr's followers were?

"Fly away..."

Aureos was about to use his verbal attack to send the Goddess of Purity flying, but the boy who had seen through her desire to attack had already slid up and blocked her way.

"Wait a moment!"

The alchemist's attack was ineffective, not because the boy's intervention had any effect, but because she sensed that her partner did not want to do so, so she stopped attacking.

"You're an idiot."

Seeing the boy blocking her way, Jing Shen's first reaction was anger. She had a feeling that before she lost her memory, she was the kind of person who would risk her life to help others, so she extremely "hated" others treating her like this.

"Vampire Killer" is an ability powerful enough to kill vampires, so...

Jing Shen seemed to suddenly realize something, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Aureos sneered, "In the end, you still rely on and beg the 'Vampire Killer' for help."

This alchemist not only wants shrimp, but also pig's heart.

"So, what's the difference between you and me?"

Jing Shen was shocked by her statement, but she did not refute it, because she could not refute it. The one standing in front of her now, who had stopped that attack, was the boy.

"That's not true!"

Hearing the boy's voice, which was not calm, for the first time, Jing Shen was even more surprised. She had thought that this boy was a person with no personality traits.

“She doesn’t even understand the meaning of ‘vampire killer’! She came here to meet a stranger she just met today.”

No, I was actually forced into this situation... If that despicable redhead hadn't threatened me with my boyfriend, I wouldn't have come to this place to wade into this mess—this thought came from before Izumi met Himegami here.

The boy's delicate eyebrows shot up in anger as he posed a soul-searching question to the woman before him!

"Aureos Isaad, what is your purpose?"

The alchemist's expression instantly turned ferocious; clearly, she, accustomed to being high and mighty, did not like this tone.

"Is your goal to kill ordinary people to satisfy your conscience?"

"If it's for such a trivial purpose, I will cancel our appointment."

The boy spread his arms to protect the God of Purification, his upright and firm body resembling a cross, holy and noble.

P.S.: It's so late, even the cats are asleep, so I, the author, have to step in myself. This silly cat is restless even when sleeping; it's probably eating canned food in its dreams, smacking its lips every now and then 23333

Chapter 221 Sticking Out the Tongue

Chapter 221

"I could also choose to bite my tongue and commit suicide."

Aureos was startled by this aura, but not by the idea of ​​biting his tongue to commit suicide. Even if a person was really dead, in his own domain, Aureos, who considered himself a god, could bring him back to life with a single word using his magic.

However, she would also have a headache if the "vampire killer" didn't cooperate, so the alchemist's expression calmed down, and she said in a devoid of emotion:

"I don't have time to waste here."

The Pure Goddess's body was repelled by an invisible barrier of energy, keeping her two meters away. However, this barrier only worked on her; the Goddess could easily pass through it, making it even more terrifying than the Sweeping Monk.

"Don't worry, young man, I won't kill you."
