Chapter 1790: Magic Academy's Eastern Exchange Student 21

Two years later, Laisuo finally saw his brother again, his eyes red-rimmed as he stared at the bedside for a long time, talking to himself.

Jin Chen didn't disturb, arms crossed leaning aside watching the scene, occasionally glancing at Lai En's face, then at his wife.

This is just too similar.

Aside from some minor details. As the purest light mage, Lai En had beautiful blond hair and a ruddy complexion that remained even after a long coma, looking better cared for than Laisuo.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -30, total 30!】

Jin Chen looked toward the bedside Laisuo, seeing him gently wipe Lai En's face with a damp cloth, he suddenly felt at a loss for words.

Forget it, out of sight, out of mind.

Jin Chen, feeling jealous, wandered around the Holy Emperor Hall, then found a spot with decent sunlight to lie down and rest.

【Has Aliya been dealt with?】

【Let me take a look……the protagonist shou, deprived of a light magic source, became extremely irritable, suppressed by the Knight Corps in the Holy Hall's prison, not yet dealt with……but it seems the Holy Hall currently lacks the ability to kill unaffiliated mages.】

This continent has many big and small forces, among which the magic forces represented by the six magic academies and the Holy Hall of Light are the most famous, but the real decision-making power still lies with the royal family backed by many ancient magic aristocrats.

To suppress these forces, the royal family is said to have preserved many lost ancient magics, as well as the holy magi who respectively inherit them.

The royal family currently maintains cooperative ties only with the Weisipa Comprehensive Magic Academy; after breaking with the Holy Hall three hundred years ago, they have hardly interacted, which is also why the Holy Emperor dares to call himself Your Majesty.

The Holy Hall wants to dispose of the unaffiliated mages that haven't appeared on the continent for many years, but can only seek aid from the royal family through Dean Elrianna's connections.

Just as Jin Chen figured this out, he suddenly saw several dirty-faced elves rushing out of the circular building at the far west.

Amplifying magic carried the elves' voices throughout the Holy Hall.

"Warning! Warning! A high-level demon has appeared in the prison! Warning! Warning!"

Jin Chen sat up, decisively walking in the opposite direction of the mages rushing in.

He had no desire to join the crowd.

【Host, don't run, the demon is going to save the protagonist shou!】 Ling Gun Gun reminded.

Jin Chen's face was cold, very dissatisfied.

Annoying.

Can't we find a time when he's not around to save him?

【……】

The not-yet-awake Host is actually slacking off!

At this moment in the prison.

Aliya poured her last strength into the demon ritual, the tattered white cloak distorting as she cried out for help.

"My lord! Save me! I haven't helped the Demon King fulfill his wish yet—I can't die… I can't die! I want to eat Laisuo! Please save me!"

The demon rushed into the prison in its true form, its ugly, massive head smashing the walls; the light magic meant for defense seemed like child's play to it, its sharp, foul-smelling giant teeth gnashed open, tearing apart the prison iron cage weighing thousands of jin.

"Roar——"

Its thick, huge long tail swept, Aliya completely regained freedom; it gave her a warning stare, saying, "Your selfish greed is what blocked the Demon King's wish."

Aliya overjoyed, she hurriedly promised: "My lord! Rest assured, I will never harbor ulterior motives again; this time I will earnestly carry out the Demon King's assigned task…"

At that moment, the mages inside the Holy Hall rushed in, facing a formidable foe, quickly launching an attack on the demon.

Aliya hid quietly behind the broken wall, trying to escape in the chaos……but failed.

Jin Chen was annoyed, blocked by the flying white cloak.

"It's you again!"

Aliya knew she couldn't possibly win in her current state!

He shrank back, then turned and flew toward the demon.

"This guy's a rat." Jin Chen, just about to chase after him with a seal in hand, suddenly had his attention drawn by the demon.

This damned thing……

How oddly familiar!

【Oh no, Host! This is the demon that stole the original mystic power and all magical treasures outside the spatial gate!】

Ling Gun Gun got excited, 【Really, it's a windfall—you can settle the score and go back to sleep!】

Under the siege of the Knight Corps and the great mages, the demon's steps were temporarily hindered, but seeing it about to break through the human encirclement, another figure appeared ahead in its vision.

Sensing danger instinctively, the demon flapped its huge wings and retreated, transforming into a humanoid devil, its two horns thick and strong, pupils with only a faint glimmer, utterly eerie.

"Who is that! Who stopped the demon in midair?"

"It's a Weisipa student! That exchange student from the Huaxia Continent! Goodness, he's sure to die!"

"How could a teenager possibly beat a demon!"

The mages seemed to already see Jin Chen's fate.

The Knight Corps exchanged glances, inexplicably giving Jin Chen hopeful looks.

……Who knows.

The demon picked up this information, its wariness greatly diminished, it opened its bloody maw and jeered: "A teenage magic apprentice! Did you bring me here to floss my teeth?"

Jin Chen's cold, displeased expression suddenly changed—he flicked away several meters, pinching his nose in shocked scrutiny.

"Don't talk, just fight!"

It reeks!

Do demons never bathe!

Demon: "……"

Jin Chen's face was expressionless, his posture and demeanor exuding coldness.

The demon had never encountered a human so bold, so hated by magic!

It hissed angrily, "I will tear you apart!"

In the worried eyes of the mages, the two figures in the air began to fight.

It's over.

They thought, this poor exchange student would surely be torn apart by the demon.

I heard that their Huaxia Continent doesn't even have demons, only ghosts and monsters; how strong could their fighting power be?

Bang—sparks exploded.

They had already prepared to witness that boy……fight, he actually won?!

The demon was almost being held by the head and beaten!

The mages and soldiers of the Holy Temple were all stunned!

Knight Corps members all sighed in relief, glad they hadn't really fought Jin Chen yesterday.

From the high building, the Holy Emperor, who took in this scene fully, had deep apprehension in his eyes.

Bang!

The demon was beaten back to its original form, and Jin Chen grabbed its tail and slammed it onto the prison wall that hadn't completely collapsed.

Accompanied by painful howls, the prison completely turned into scrap iron.

Bang bang!

Another two hits, and the palace buildings beside the prison were left in ruins, the demon's body about to split in two.

The mages, watching, gradually began to doubt life.

They always felt the boy was doing it on purpose, but they had no evidence!

「Heaven-shaking departing fire, blazing thunder annihilates souls! Swift as the law! 」

The boy's clear, icy voice seemed to cleave the darkness; the incantation rang clear in everyone's ears, and only then did a huge thunderbolt accompanied by fire appear out of nowhere, instantly incinerating the demon.
