With the help of the two of them, I rushed out of the underground tunnel and arrived at the Holy Church.
Something wasn't right with Alicia. Her face was getting paler and paler, and her breathing was getting more and more rapid. I could even feel life rapidly leaving her body.
I placed her on the bench and held her hand tightly." Hold on, Alicia. You must hold on. You will be free soon. You can play however you want and make as many friends as you want…"
Upon hearing my words, she slowly opened her eyes." Mr. Yicheng…Thank you for being my friend…Although it's only been a short time, I'm very happy…"
I looked at the pale smiling face in front of me and the pain in my heart was like a knife. Even though I was in pain, she still gave me a warm smile. I was unwilling! I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe that such a good girl was going to leave me. All I could do was watch silently, but I couldn't do anything for her.
"If there is a next life…will Mr. Yicheng still be my friend?”Her voice swayed like a candle in the wind, as if it could be blown out at any time.
" Don't be silly. I still want to take you to the amusement park, to fast food restaurants, to many fun places, to buy flowers, to buy books, wherever you want to go. We'll play to our heart's content until we can't move…Ah, right, there's also that, that, that place with many interesting places…" I laughed incoherently, but I couldn't stop my tears. " We are good friends. We will always be good friends. You are so beautiful. I want to introduce you to my friends, Matsuta and Yuanbin. They will definitely be jealous of you. We will live happily together. Although they are lecherous, they are good people. They will also be good friends with Siyah. They will cherish and protect you like me. I promise that we will spend every day happily like fools..."
" If…I could have been born in this country…and attended the same school as Mr. Yicheng…" Alicia's voice became even weaker. If it wasn't for the fact that she was so close, I wouldn't have been able to hear her. I painfully knew that she was about to leave, but there was nothing I could do at this moment. I clearly said that I would protect her, but I didn't have the power to protect her.
" Of course you can. No, you have to come. We have to go to school together and leave school together. I…I look forward to the day when I can have a beautiful girl by my side…"
Alicia reached out her trembling hand and gently caressed my face."…Mr. Yicheng cried for me…I have already…Thank you…" Her hand slowly slid down quietly. In the end, she still had a dazzling faint smile on her face.
" Aisia-" I could no longer suppress the grief in my heart and shouted, as if I wanted to call back the people who had already passed away. I looked at the headless saint statue on the broken cross and cursed,""You blind god, Alicia has been praying with all her heart, but what are you doing? What are you doing? Give Alicia back.”
"Ge Ge, are you stupid? Don't forget that you're a demon!" A voice suddenly interrupted me. It was Renalei. She had already caught up.
"Where are the woodshed and the kitten? What did you do to them? Where are they?”Seeing her appear, my heart couldn't help but tremble. I've already lost Assia. If something happens to Kimura and Kitten, then I...
"Look, his arm was cut by a knight on the way here!”It was as if she was showing off the effects of her newly obtained divine artifact in front of me. The wound disappeared in a flash of green light, as if it had never appeared." How is it? Isn't it great? For us Fallen Angels who have lost the blessing of God, this is simply the best gift."”
I glared at Renalei angrily." Who cares about you? That was Alicia's divine weapon. Because of you, because of your greed, you stole her divine weapon and caused her to lose her life. Originally, she had nothing to do with it. She could have lived a peaceful life.”
"Hahahaha…Don't be silly. The foreign divine artifact that she's residing in will be ostracized no matter where she is. Because she has great power, because she has different powers. Isn't this the same even in human society?”Reina's words were filled with disdain and mockery, but I was speechless because she was right.
" Even if she's rejected, there's still me. There's still me who'll protect her, and there's still me who'll care about her…" I roared at her.
"Wahahaha…I'm dying of laughter. You said you wanted to protect her, but she's already dead, and you still want to protect her? You don't have the ability to do so. You did it yesterday and you're doing it today.”Renalei's laughter was like a sharp sword piercing my heart.
"Mr. Yicheng is a good person. Even if he is a demon, he is still a good demon. He will come and save me. I believe in him.”Renalei's voice suddenly turned into Alicia's voice, and her expression was completely imitated." Ahahaha…This is too ridiculous. That child was so innocent even until she died. Ah, no, it's stupid. What good demon? What friend? Didn't she die in the end? It really made me watch a beautiful tragic comedy…"
" Re-na-lei." My eyes were wide open, and blood and tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.
Renalei's expression turned ferocious."Despicable demon, don't call my name. Let me send you to see your friend Althea. You must be upset that you didn't protect him.”
Because of this, I cannot forgive myself for not protecting Alicia, and I cannot forgive you for killing Alicia with your own hands-Renalei!
At this moment, the Minister's words flashed through my mind." The use of Divine Artifacts is driven by a person's will. The stronger the will, the stronger the power of Divine Artifacts. When the will is strong enough, it can even change the world. You have to remember this.”
Right now, I urgently need more power. I want to avenge Alicia. I want to kill this Fallen Angel who looks even more like a demon!
" Give me back Assia!" I shouted from the bottom of my heart.
“DragonBooster!”
As if it was responding to my call, a deep voice sounded in my heart. The jade in my left hand released a dazzling light at the same time. At the same time, I could feel a surge of power within my body. At this moment, I just want to use all my strength. Even if I can't kill her, I want her to have a taste of my fist.
Boiling inner energy was rapidly flowing through my meridians. I wanted to use my inner energy to punch her, at least once." Wa--" Before I could release my inner energy, my meridians shattered because they couldn't withstand it. This kind of pain was simply unimaginable. I knew that ever since my meridians were injured, I had forcefully used my inner energy many times. At this moment, I finally couldn't bear the burden. If it wasn't for the fact that I wasn't human anymore, I would have died from my meridians shattering. But even if I didn't die, the pain caused by the broken meridians still made my entire body stiff. It was difficult for me to even move a finger.
"Hahaha…What's wrong? Are you too sad? With your combat strength, you want to fight me? It's simply wishful thinking. Insects are insects. Even if you have a divine artifact, you're just a slightly stronger insect."
Reina's mockery sounded even more ear-piercing in my ears. However, at this moment, my internal strength surged like a tide. Because my meridians were broken, my internal strength rushed into my muscles and bones along the broken meridians. It felt like there were thousands of knives cutting my body. It was no longer just pain that could be described with the word 'pain'.
“boost”
A deep voice sounded in my heart, but I couldn't hear it. My entire body was stiff because of the chaotic internal energy, but I wasn't willing to give up. I wanted to punch her. No matter what, I wanted to punch her, not only for Alicia, but also for myself.
My right leg moved, trembling as I took a step forward. However, just as I moved, I couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. It didn't matter. The pain didn't matter. Spitting blood didn't matter. Compared to the pain that the girl had suffered, compared to the damage that Alicia had suffered, this was nothing. As long as I could move, as long as I could move…
Gradually, I could no longer feel the pain, only numbness in my entire body. My left leg slowly moved forward again. I bit my mouth, but there was still a few drops of blood dripping from the corner of my mouth. Then, my right leg moved forward again.
Right at this moment, two laser guns were summoned by Renalei. With a swing, they easily pierced through my thighs. My originally numb body started from my thighs, and in an instant, an even more intense pain spread throughout my body. A burning sensation spread throughout my entire body.
The sudden, intense pain made me sit down on the ground. It was so painful that it felt like my bones were being pierced. However, I was surprisingly clear-headed." I can't sit down. I have to stand up. I have to fight. I haven't really punched her. Even if I die, I have to stand up."”I whispered to myself.
" Stand up, stand up, stand up, I have to stand up…" I grabbed the laser gun that had pierced through my legs with both hands. Ignoring the smoke coming out of my hands from the laser gun, I let out an angry roar and pulled the laser gun out of my legs. The laser gun disappeared without a sound, and without the laser gun, blood gushed out from my legs like a fountain.
It hurt. It hurt so much that I wanted to die immediately, but I couldn't." Beat her, beat her " I repeated mechanically to motivate myself so that I wouldn't faint immediately.
" Oh, you're very motivated. To be honest, for a low-level existence like you to be able to pull out my laser gun with your bare hands without being able to neutralize the damage caused by the light, it's really beyond my imagination. But what's the use? What's the use?" Renalei chattered on. I understood that she thought that she had me in her grasp and was using the mentality of a cat to play with a mouse to toy with me. She was just afraid that I wasn't strong enough. On the contrary, the more she struggled, the more satisfied her perverted and twisted heart felt.
"It's useless. Light is poison to you, especially my light. Even if you pull it out, it's not something that you can withstand. In your current situation, you could die at any time. No, logically speaking, you should have died long ago. Or should I say I admire you?" Reina's face was filled with a bright smile. She was enjoying torturing me.
"Well, I should pray now. God definitely can't do it because I'm a demon and he won't respond to me.”I muttered to myself.
"Haha…what's wrong? Did your brain finally burn out? You've been talking to yourself non-stop since just now.”Renalei wouldn't let go of any opportunity to mock me.
I ignored her sarcasm and continued to whisper to myself,""Since I can't be a god, then there should be a demon king. No matter what, I'm a demon. Listen to my wish. I just want to punch her once. I don't want anything else.”
I slowly moved my feet. Although I felt pain, I could still endure it. My butt left the ground bit by bit. Because my legs were exerting strength, a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound. It was painful, painful, and painful to the bone marrow. It was so painful that my entire body was numb. However, so what? At this moment, my heart was filled with anger. If I didn't punch her, I was afraid that I would be burned to death by anger.
The next moment, I stood firmly on the ground.
Renalei saw that I had stabilized myself and couldn't help but be shocked." Impossible, how can you stand up? Under the damage of light, you're just a low-level existence. It's impossible for you to stand up.”Her voice was not only shocked, but also filled with fear.
"Yes, I am in extreme pain. It hurts so much that I want to die immediately, but I can't. Even Alicia won't forgive me if I don't punch you.”My words were true. I really thought so. This punch contained the will of both me and Alicia.
"Hey, my divine weapon, I have already gathered all my will in my heart, so let me see how much power you can provide me. Can this punch beat this stinky angel flat?”
“Explosion!!”
As the shocking voice rang out, the jade on my left hand emitted a brilliant light. At the same time, the appearance of the gauntlet also changed. Five short blades that looked like sharp claws popped out. A huge power that seemed to be able to destroy the world appeared in my body as the light lit up. My entire body surged with power, and I felt as if I would explode if I didn't vent it.
As the power surged in, it was accompanied by endless pain. The internal strength in his body had increased by an unknown number of times, almost covering his entire body. The pain from the light spear was instantly expelled from his body, and what was left was the pain caused by the huge internal strength continuously traveling through his muscles, blood, bones, and even internal organs.
I took a step forward, blood spurting out of my legs and mouth. At this moment, my inner qi was all over my body, so it was impossible for me not to use it. Moreover, I was so close to Reina. If I could, I could. If it was me now, I could.
"How is this possible? What's going on? Why did this happen…Wasn't that divine artifact the dragon hand that could only double the strength of the wielder? Why…How, how was this possible? Why is your power stronger than mine…? "Waves of mana…This mana fluctuation has the strength of an Intermediate…No, it has the strength of an Advanced Demon…" Renalei cried out in fear.
I didn't care about her. I took another step forward. Renalei was so scared that she turned around and ran away from me. She flapped her wings and wanted to escape. She even created a laser gun to stop me from advancing.
With a wave of my left hand, the spear of light was sent flying by my internal strength before it even made contact with my hand.
" No, no!" Renalei cried out in alarm as she rose from the ground. In the next moment, I grabbed her arm and felt as if she had teleported. " No, no, I... I'm the strongest angel..." Renalei cried out in shock.
I gritted my teeth." You idiot, dogsh * t angel, go to hell!" I concentrated all my strength into this punch. A purplish-red light flashed past Renalei's body and slammed into the wall. The wall in front of me was hit by the purplish-red light, and a large circular hole instantly appeared. Renalei, who had received my angry punch, had already turned into ashes, leaving behind a black feather that fell like rain. Within those feathers, a green light slowly fell from the sky. It was the divine weapon of Alicia, the Smile of the Virgin Mary.
I stretched out my hand to receive the divine weapon. My eyes were gentle and sad. I staggered and spat out a large mouthful of blood. My vision turned black and I was about to fall when a pair of powerful arms held me up.
"This is truly unbelievable. You actually sent the Fallen Angel flying.”
I forced myself to open my eyes and realized that it was Muchang who had spoken. I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart, and at the same time, I felt relieved. Just now, when I saw Renalei chasing after me, I didn't see Muchang or Little Kitten. How could I not worry about their safety? Now that I saw him, I really felt at ease.
I revealed an ugly smile." Pretty boy, you're very slow…"
" Hehe, the minister told me not to disturb you," Kimura replied helplessly.
Minister? Didn't she go out for something? At this moment, I felt my vision darken. I didn't have any strength in my body, and I didn't have the mood to think about the reason.
" That's right. I was the one who stopped Muchang because I believed that you could defeat the Fallen Angel. However, you did better than I expected." I saw the head of the department walking over with a smile, his red hair swaying in the wind. "Eh? Your divine artifact? A red dragon?" The minister muttered softly to himself, but my vision was getting darker and darker, so I couldn't hear him.
I felt deeply sorry for the minister, so I forced myself to apologize to him." Minister…I'm sorry…" Then my thoughts fell into darkness.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was in the lounge next to the activity room. Usually, when I didn't want to go to class, I would sneak here to sleep.
He gently sat up on the bed and felt refreshed. His wounds were all healed, and even the broken meridians in his body had healed. However, he still could not circulate his internal energy. Even if he only circulated it slowly, it would be unbearable as if he was being pricked by needles. I was quite surprised by the changes in my body because I knew that the minister's magic power was only helpful for my physical recovery, but it was useless when it came to internal energy.
I gently sat up from the bed. No!
It was indeed not right. It was not just on my physical body. I actually discovered that when I did these few movements, there was a silk-like flow of energy in the muscles and bones of the corresponding parts of my body that slowly flowed along with the movements. That feeling was similar to the feeling when my internal energy circulated in my meridians, but it was also different.
If the flow of internal energy in the meridians was a fixed route, then the flow of energy in the muscles and bones was a chaotic and orderly movement. It was chaotic because the energy flow was randomly running through the muscles and bones. There was no fixed channel, and there were even intersections and even divergences. However, it was orderly because the energy flow was generally moving in the same direction. Basically, they were moving in the direction of the force. As for where they appeared and where they eventually disappeared, there was no pattern at all. As long as they moved, the energy flow would appear.
I was extremely curious as to how this energy flow appeared and what use it had, but I couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Then, I thought of Althea, the girl who had always smiled at the cruelty of the world until the end of her life. I could no longer see her smile. Thinking of this, my tears couldn't help but fall again.
In my previous life, only Red had let me experience such feelings. No, my feelings for Red were even more violent and heavy. However, I couldn't accept it and couldn't bear it. It was extreme sadness and bitterness.
I never thought that I would actually put so much emotion into someone I had only met a few times. Similarly, I never thought that I was someone with so many emotions. Even after I went through Red's emotional trauma, I never thought that I had so many emotions. However, at this moment, I had some doubts about myself.
Just as I was crying alone, the door was pushed open with a soft sound. In the midst of tears, the minister pushed the door open with a faint smile.
I quickly wiped the tears from my face and stood up from the bed." Minister…Minister…"
The minister didn't say anything. He just walked to my side and stretched out his hand to gently hug me. At this moment, I suddenly felt infinitely wronged in my heart. Tears couldn't be stopped anymore and gushed out.
I hugged the minister's waist and suppressed my sobs."Minister, I'm so useless. Alicia trusted me so much, but I couldn't protect her properly. She's clearly kinder than anyone else, and she cherishes every bit of happiness more than anyone else, but…but…I want to become stronger, constantly stronger. I don't want to cry anymore…"
The minister gently stroked my hair and smiled."Yicheng, if you don't restrain yourself, some people will not be able to stand it and cry with you!”
I didn't know what the minister meant. At this moment, the minister pushed me away and moved his body away. Behind the minister, a beautiful blonde girl was standing there with a bright smile on her face, but there were tears at the corner of her eyes.
"Mr. Yicheng…"
"Aicia…"
