Chapter 20

Everyone thought that a performance was about to begin, but the unknown girl suddenly took action without hesitation, unfolding her black wings and emitting a black magical aura that filled the entire venue. The air rapidly shifted, causing countless leaves to be lifted from the trees surrounding the park.

Soon, several dozen transformed individuals appeared. These people were humans who had been transformed by magic, possessing exceptionally strong magical power. However, they lacked autonomous capability and were under the control of the demonic race. If they were to break free from the control of the demonic race, they would descend into a state of self-destruction.

The girl held a universal magic gun in her hand. Although this type of gun was slightly inferior to a personal-use magic gun, the general universal and fifth-tier magic guns had equal power. The only difference was that the universal guns lacked unique skill effects.

The crowd watching this scene reacted by fleeing. No one actually believed that they could stand up against these guns, especially since there was not just one gun.

I fell heavily onto the ground. If it weren't for Hanya, I would have been impaled by the girl's halberd.

The unknown girl forcefully shook off Hanya, but the tip of her weapon still aimed towards me.

I had no idea what was going on. I was being stabbed for no reason and being surrounded by people pointing guns at me.

In less than two minutes, I was scared half to death.

The girl swung the hilt of her weapon, bringing it down at a ninety-degree angle with unimaginable speed, making it difficult for my eyes to track.

"Szzz~" Suddenly, Hanya's "Splitting Cloud" pierced through the middle, blocking the blade. The owners of the two weapons channeled their magical power into their weapons, creating a powerful impact that repelled each other within a second. As the two girls regained their footing, the unknown girl swiftly moved to my left side and lunged at me. However, Hanya's sword still stood in front of me.

The girl took a step back, maintaining her fighting stance and waiting for the next opportunity to attack.

"Who is she to you? An old lover?" Hanya held her sword with one hand, always on guard against the opponent's next attack.

"I don't know her at all! Why would I have an old lover?!"

"Since that's the case, as a member of the student council, it is also my duty to protect the safety of the academy's students. Leave this place first, and I will determine her strength." After finishing her words, Hanya pulled my arm and attached wind magic to her feet, instantly increasing her speed by tenfold. Leaving only a blur behind, we disappeared into the crowd.

The unknown girl immediately followed suit. However, due to the large number of people around, although a portion of them had been frightened away, there were still a significant number remaining.

Because the bystanders were too obstructive, the girl gestured with her hand and gave a command.

The transformed individuals, without questioning the reason, aimed their guns at the people around them and sprayed them with a barrage of bullets.

In this era when magic had become popular among all humans, everyone had magical protection. However, when faced with these universal magic guns, self-protection became difficult.

After a round of shooting, a large number of people around us fell to the ground. Those who were injured struggled in extreme pain. It was not surprising, as being directly shot by these guns caused unbearable agony.

Hanya moved through the crowd without slowing down. Instead, she became faster and faster, but we were still within the girl's sight.

The unknown girl stepped on a magical jump spell, displaying an incredibly powerful jumping force. With just a quick turn of her head, she had already jumped above us, and her blade darted at us with lightning-like speed, launching three consecutive stabs.

However, Hanya intercepted each stab with her sword. It seemed as if Hanya had already understood the positioning of the girl's halberd, but in reality, Hanya had no ability to perceive her opponent's movements. However, she possessed the ability to sense wind directions. Each time the blade attacked, it created a gust of wind by cutting through the air, and for a wind magic practitioner, even the slightest change in the wind's direction was extremely sensitive. Just by sensing the wind's eastward movement, Hanya was able to discern the direction of the girl's attack, even if she couldn't see it, and react accordingly.

Continuously avoiding the girl's pursuit, we kept moving towards the stage.

When I turned around, I saw the girl chasing after us, slashing horizontally and quickly taking down a staff member who tried to stop her. Before the person could react, they fell to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.

Committing murder in such a public gathering, even if it wasn't detected by the guarded "Helius" system, passersby would definitely report it to the police.

They were so reckless and indifferent towards the police, although the police had encountered such situations before and had corresponding countermeasures. But the demon girl wasn't afraid at all. Maybe those demonized people were not the source of all her power. It was too weak to rely on just a few guns to deal with the police special forces.

"We need to find a place with fewer people, so she won't kill again!" I suggested to Hanya.

"Where can we go? The surrounding area is full of tall buildings, this is the city, surrounded by people. It would take half an hour to get to the suburbs, and in that time she could kill even more people."

"Seeing others getting hurt or losing their lives because of me makes me feel guilty." I'm not a hero, but I can't harm people for my own sake.

"There's only one way, handing you over. Are you willing?" Hanya took me to the backstage of the stage and hid us behind a screen.

"Then I'll go out."

As soon as I stood up, before I could take a step, Hanya pulled me back.

"I won't stop you if you want to go, but are you sure they came for you? On what basis do you think you can calm everything down?"

"I...based on my intuition. I saw the look in her eyes, the desire to pierce through mine."

"Men's intuition isn't reliable. You are Wen Xin's brother and a student of our college. Regardless, I can't ignore your safety."

"Well..."

"Stay here. Leave her to me. You'll just get in the way." Hanya left me here like that and walked out with the "Split Cloud" sword in hand.

"Brother!" I heard Wen Xin shouting from backstage. She had already changed her clothes and should be ready to go on stage.

"Wen Xin, get out of here quickly. The crazy girl outside is not someone to mess with."

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Next to Wen Xin, there was a girl dressed as a maid, probably Wen Xin's friend.

"It's hard to accept, even I don't understand it myself."

"Hiss..." At this moment, the screen behind me split in two, and the girl with the hat suddenly appeared behind me, her knife ready to stab me in the back. "Brother!" Without thinking, Wen Xin made a subconscious move and pushed me to the ground.

The knife didn't pierce my body as intended, but it deeply scraped Wen Xin's back. Wen Xin was a light magic user, and dark magic was undoubtedly fatal to her. She shouldn't have done what she did, but for the sake of her big brother, she was willing to do anything.

"Huh...huh..." After a few seconds, Wen Xin's face had changed, becoming more and more painful, more and more pale. Dark magic entering her body was a constant struggle against light magic.

"Is there a water element healer? Is there?" She shouted hysterically. Light magic couldn't save Wen Xin, perhaps a dark healer would have a way. Sometimes curses could save lives, but clearly Wen Xin's constitution didn't allow any more dark magic to enter. The only hope was water magic, which could resolve everything.

"I...I'm a water element healer." It was the girl who had just been with Wen Xin. She was still a bit stunned, but Wen Xin was her friend. No matter how scared she was, she had to help her friend.

"She's relying on you now!" I laid Wen Xin flat on the ground and quietly stepped aside. I knew there was nothing I could do for Wen Xin now. I also knew that without me, Wen Xin wouldn't be in so much danger. It was the same two years ago, and it was still the same two years later. I promised Wen Xin that I would take care of her well until forever, a long time ago, so long that I had almost forgotten, but today I suddenly remembered and felt guilty.

A thought of escape suddenly emerged in my mind.

"Damn it, you still want to escape, but it doesn't seem like a good opportunity this time! A quick battle, maybe I can still pick up a chick or something!" I silently made plans for a potential girl-chasing mission.

I don't know when, but Hanya gradually began to fall into a disadvantage.

She blocked the swords and daggers with her sword, but she didn't expect the opponent to kick her with force, sending her flying.

In an instant, my body reacted. I grabbed the front handle of the halberd in my right hand and caught Hanya with my left hand.

"Hey! Our duel should have ended two years ago!"
