When Ailey left the funeral parlor, Xue Cai appeared in front of her with a dejected expression.
"I'm really sorry, Senior."
"There's nothing to apologize for. Normal people would have the same reaction."
Ailey waved her hand and interrupted Xue Cai's apology.
"This isn't something that most people can bear. After all, this is different from simply killing an enemy. You don't have to feel sorry for it. On the contrary, if your eyes lit up the first time you saw an autopsy, I would be worried that you might be a pervert. "
"Ahahaha...."
Xue Cai didn't know what to say after hearing Ailey's comforting words. She could only laugh dryly and quickly change the topic.
"So, Senior, have you discovered anything?"
"Hmm.... I have some, but I don't have any clues yet. Xue Cai, have you heard of a technique that can drain someone of their mana in an extremely short period of time?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Ailey's question, Xue Cai was taken aback. Ailey walked to the vending machine at the side and bought two bottles of drinks. After passing one to Xue Cai, she looked around at the empty street and said softly.
"According to my investigation, it can be confirmed that the person drained the victim of their mana in an extremely short period of time before killing them.... Hmm, this technique is quite rare."
"A short period of time? How short is it? "
"Probably not more than ten seconds. The amount of mana drained is basically equivalent to that of an old vampire."
"In such a short period of time?"
Xue Cai frowned. She pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
"I'm sorry, Senior. I can't find any similar methods in my memory. If it's purely to dispel or disperse mana, there are a few methods that can do it. But to drain mana.... I'm sorry, I can't think of any clues."
"That's not strange. Maybe it was specially created by someone to deal with demons.... Alright, Xue Cai, let's go back. It's late now and we still have classes tomorrow."
"Yes, Senior."
In the end, the two did not continue investigating and went back to sleep. They continued with their classes the next day.
But in addition to attending classes, Aili had another very important matter to attend to, and that was to conduct night patrols of the entire Flux God Island. After all, according to the previous three attacks, the other party only attacked in the dead of night, when the humans were resting and the demons were active. Since they couldn't determine the other party's identity, they might as well use the stupidest method to catch them in the act.
However, to Aili's surprise, Xue Cai also strongly requested to join the mission. Although Aili was a little worried, she still nodded in agreement in the end because she believed that one more person meant more strength. However, she still reminded Xue Cai to immediately send a signal to report the moment she discovered the target, and she would rush over immediately.
Xue Cai naturally nodded in agreement.
As for Aili, she sat on her broom and flew high into the sky to patrol. Like this, she could see the entire Flux God Island. If anything happened, she would be able to sense it immediately.
She was truly a strange person.
Watching Aili disappear into the night sky, Xue Cai felt a little emotional. She had been in contact with Aili for two to three days, but to be honest, the feeling Aili gave Xue Cai was completely unlike the aloof and terrifying Fourth True Ancestor. In fact, Xue Cai had even forgotten that Aili was the Fourth True Ancestor …
Thinking of this, Xue Cai couldn't help but yawn and hurriedly cover her mouth. She didn't tell Aili that she actually didn't sleep well last night. Whenever she closed her eyes, Xue Cai's mind would be filled with the bloody heart, intestines, and various other organs. After all, Xue Cai was a swordswoman, so she was quite experienced in combat.
But as Aili said, chopping people into corpses and splitting open corpses to pull out the intestines were two completely different things.
Xue Cai tossed and turned the whole night without falling asleep. She only fell into a daze when the sun rose. Then, she hurriedly got up and went to school. With her serious personality, she naturally wouldn't allow herself to sleep in class. She only rested for a while during the lunch break, but now she was obviously a little sleepy again.
But now wasn't the time to talk about that.
Xue Cai patted her cheeks forcefully and her gaze became firm and focused. According to Senpai, the enemy would attack every night, so there was a high probability that he would attack the Nephilim race tonight. Therefore, Xue Cai focused her attention and patrolled around — After all, she was here to follow Aili to attack the Nephilim race. Now that Aili had given her a job, Xue Cai could only carry it out.
However, just as Xue Cai arrived at a warehouse area, a loud explosion suddenly came from not far away.
Boom!!!
A violent tremor spread along with the explosion. Xue Cai turned around hurriedly to the source of the explosion. A fireball with a diameter of tens of meters soared into the sky as though a bomb had exploded, stirring up violent air currents. In the midst of the flames, a large black bird spread its wings and controlled the flames.
"Beast? Are there vampires fighting? "
Looking at this scene, Xue Cai's heart tightened. She quickly opened the guitar case on her back and took out a silver-white spear from within. At the next moment, the spear extended instantly. Xue Cai gripped the spear tightly and dashed toward the location of the explosion.
Not long after, Xue Cai arrived at the location of the battle. At that moment, she saw a man in a suit raising his hands anxiously. Judging from the current situation, he should be the vampire who controlled the Firebird. However, unlike what Xue Cai had imagined, the vampire who controlled the Firebird and plunged the entire warehouse area into a sea of flames didn't have the slightest expression on his face. On the contrary, he was panic-stricken and looked around nervously as though he was looking for something.
However, at the next moment, an unimaginable scene appeared before Xue Cai.
Amidst the flames, a huge, translucent white arm stretched out abruptly, grabbed the Firebird's wings, and tore them off. Although the Firebird struggled with all its might, it was held tightly by the large white hand at the next moment. Then, it vanished into thin air.
That's devouring magical power?!
Looking at this scene, Xue Cai instantly recalled what Aili had told her about 'being able to absorb a large amount of magical power in a short period of time'. At that moment, she took out the signal gun that Aili had given her, aimed it at the night sky, and pulled the trigger.
Bam!
Scarlet flares flew into the sky and dispersed. At the same time, along with a blood-curdling screech, the vampire who controlled the Firebird collapsed to the ground with blood spurting out of his chest. Although this injury was fatal, he was still barely able to maintain his vitality.
"Are you alright? Pull yourself together!"
Upon seeing the injured vampire, Xue Cai ran to his side hurriedly. But at that moment, she heard a deep, masculine voice.
"I didn't expect there to be an eyewitness."
Upon hearing this voice, Xue Cai lifted her head in astonishment and gazed ahead. Not far away from her stood a burly man who was nearly two meters tall. He held a huge ax in his right hand and wore a strengthened armor and robe. At that moment, he glared at Xue Cai coldly and didn't say a word.
"Please stop fighting. Torturing and killing a demon who can't move is against the special punishment for attacking a demon!"
"Why should I follow the law set by a demon who fawns over me!?"
In response to Xue Cai's warning, the man swung the battle ax in his right hand and bellowed. Then, he leaped up and swung the battle ax at the severely injured vampire beside Xue Cai.
"Snow Wolf!"
Facing the man's huge ax, Xue Cai had no other choice. The spear in her hand darted out along with the young lady's cry and blocked the man's fatal blow. Both of them shuddered at the same time and retreated. At that moment, the way the man looked at Xue Cai changed.
"That gun … Could it be the Type-7 Assault Demon Subduing Machine Gun? It's engraved with the Godhead's Vibration Driving Tactic, the secret weapon of the Lion King Agency. I didn't expect it to appear here … "
As he spoke, the man revealed a cold smile.
"Alright, since you're the Sword Wizard of the Lion King Agency, let me see how powerful you are. I'm Rodolfo Aosta, the teacher of Luotan City. Let me see how powerful you are, lass! "
Before he finished speaking, the man swung his battle ax again and charged at Xue Cai.
Xue Cai gritted her teeth and fought the man again.
The man's skills were impressive, which was evident from the fact that he almost killed the vampire of the old era with a single strike. However, Xue Cai wasn't weak either. As the Sword Wizard of the Lion King Agency, she was sent here to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor not just because she had a pretty face.
Although that was a major factor.
"— Dawn of Breaking Demons, Divine Wolf of the Snow Wolf, aid me with the Divine Might of Steel to vanquish the evil gods and ghosts!"
As she chanted, Xue Cai thrust her spear again. Although Teacher Rodolfo blocked the attack with his battle ax, he was still sent flying. However, Xue Cai clearly had no intention of showing mercy. After her successful strike, she charged forward, the spear in her hand turning into a storm as she stabbed at the target in front of her again and again.
"What great strength and speed! As expected of the Sword Wizard of the Lion King Agency. Well then … it's my turn! Do it! Astarudi!!! "
Following Teacher Jian's angry roar, Xue Cai suddenly saw a petite figure leaping out from behind his burly figure. It was a girl who looked to be about ten years old.
It was a girl who looked to be about ten years old, with long blue hair and a cloak. Her blue eyes were emotionless, as cold as a machine.
"Mission accepted. Execute 'Rose's Fingertips'."
Following the emotionless words, Xue Cai saw a huge white arm suddenly sprang out from behind the girl and swung at her with force.
Xue Cai had nowhere to run. She could only bite the bullet and thrust her spear forward.
"— — —!!!"
The silver spear collided with the huge white hand, causing a violent impact of magic and spiritual energy. At the same time, the blue-haired girl showed a pained expression. Her attack did not hit its target. On the contrary, the silver spear in Xue Cai's hand had already pierced through the white hand …
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Just as Xue Cai was about to completely pierce through the transparent white arm, the blue-haired girl suddenly screamed. Another arm suddenly emerged from her body and punched at Xue Cai again!
She couldn't dodge it!
Xue Cai was holding the spear, so there was no way she could dodge. She could only watch as the fist got closer and closer to her, and then …
"Iron Armour!!"
A crisp voice came from the air. At the same time, a translucent barrier suddenly appeared beside Xue Cai, helping her block the fatal blow. The torrents of magic collided with each other and exploded.
At the same time, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Xue Cai.
"Sorry, I had to deal with some matters just now, so I'm a little late."
Allie held her wand and looked at the tall man and the blue-haired girl opposite her.
"Looks like you're the criminals I've been looking for?"
