Magic High School.

Chapter 271 Madam, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your child, would you?

Meanwhile, the fairy's side is in a terrible predicament.

The front line was hundreds of kilometers away from the capital of the Kingdom. She never expected that this underwater territory was so large, even much larger than the Fairy Continent.

In order to save time, she flew to the capital with all her might.

It seems the bloodthirst disease hasn't infected her yet, but she can't see it either. That's what's most distressing for her—she can't see the bloodthirst disease, and she can't stop it from happening.

Seeing the capital city brimming with artistic atmosphere, she was honestly quite envious. If the fairy race had developed normally, would it have also developed such a rich artistic atmosphere? And would there be so many works of art here that represent civilization? Yet, she could also foresee that such a beautiful place would probably be reduced to ruins after the disaster of the Bloodthirst Disease.

However, she didn't have time to sigh.

She rushed into the Granasia family's territory immediately. Despite the guards' attempts to stop her, she decisively began chanting, the surging light blinding them. She declared, "I'm Valerie's friend! Quick, come with me!"

"What happened?" The eldest sister rushed over to explain. She had initially thought it was an enemy, but it turned out to be her younger sister's friend.

"No time to explain, come with me now and get out of here! I'll take you to see Uncle Saint Gluckia." The fairy lady really didn't have time to explain much. In the end, she simply unleashed her light magic.

This energy, so similar to holy light, made the eldest sister hesitate for a moment. After a brief moment of thought, she immediately replied, "Okay!"

Daphne breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, she asked Valerie for a token or something similar. Valerie paused for a moment, then said, "You should be able to gain their trust by simply displaying holy light." She hadn't expected the item to be so effective.

After packing up and taking away a family of four, she knocked out and took away a particularly annoying non-mainstream kid with dyed yellow-purple hair.

As for these maids and guards...

“Listen to me, run! Run west, preferably into the mountains. The entire duchy is about to be struck by a great plague. We’ll come out after we’ve dealt with the problem,” Daphne finally said to these people.

She would never have said such a thing before, but now she can speak to these lowly servants in this tone.

These people were taken aback, and then, led by a guard knight, they quickly packed some basic water and food and prepared to flee.

Then, after taking the four people with her, she immediately headed to the cathedral.

This is where Valerie's mother works. It's safe to say that within the duchy, Valerie's family is truly among the most elite noble families. Her father is a Grand Master of the Holy Knights, and her mother is a regional bishop; they wield both military and religious power, their influence likely comparable to that of a king of equal standing.

At that very moment, as the bishop, she was praying when someone rushed in in a panic, saying, "Your Grace, the Pope is about to arrive. Please prepare yourselves."

“Okay.” She had barely finished replying when a large hole appeared in the sky, and a figure with wings of light spread out behind him immediately said, “Lady Genasia, all four of your children are in my hands. Come with me quickly. Madam, you don’t want anything to happen to your children, do you?”

Lady Gennacia: "?"

It's hard now, it's hard now, my fist is hard!

Daphne recalled what the man had said when she left: "My wife is very stubborn, so you should threaten her with my son. That's the only way to make her give in."

Plans are in place!

After saying that, Daphne immediately took off and left.

"Halt!" Lady Genasia immediately ripped open her priestly robes, revealing a suit of soft armor underneath. She stomped her foot hard on the ground, and the marble floor shattered instantly.

She knew perfectly well it was a trap, especially since the Pope was approaching and her husband was away, but she had no choice. If her unfortunate children were truly in this man's hands, she would have to intervene. And now it seemed highly likely!

Along the way, she tried to catch up with Daphne flying in the sky like a mother tyrannosaurus, until she left the capital and came to the deserted mountains and forests on the outskirts.

"Mommy!" the two little girls immediately called out.

When the lady turned around, she found that her two youngest daughters were actually unharmed and were rushing towards her.

“This is…” She immediately looked at Daphne flying in the sky and asked in confusion.

“I’m sorry, madam, this is the only way. A terrible plague is about to break out here. As Valerie’s friend, I’m here to take you to the front-line fortress, where you can meet Valerie and Uncle Saint Gluckia,” Daphne explained.

After a lengthy explanation, the lady quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"So, is there really no way to stop it?" she asked directly.

"Yes, but they're at the front-line fortress, in the hands of Valerie and Li Ge. Everything will have to wait until you meet them." Daphne was going all out; she just wanted to get them there first. As for what happened after they arrived, that would be Li Ge and the others' explanation.

“Yes, ma’am, trust Mr. Li Ge. Trust doesn’t need a reason.” At that moment, a little boy with dyed yellow and purple hair came out, seemingly impersonating Li Ge, and said.

Lady Gennacia: "..."

My fist is hard! I really want to beat this brat to death, but I can't do it, he's my own son...

Soon, after some persuasion, the group finally assembled and prepared to leave for the front lines. With so many people, they clearly couldn't continue flying, and their location had been exposed. After all, Daphne's flight with her light wings and Lady Genasia's out-of-control tyrannical charge had been witnessed by everyone. It was estimated that even more people would arrive soon.

Daphne couldn't save so many people; she couldn't even tell if someone had erysipelas. If they were held here too long, she feared she wouldn't even be able to save Valerie's family members.

Now, with so many people, they can only rely on climbing mountains and crossing valleys to move forward.

However, it seemed that Murphy's Law was at work; the more you avoid something, the more likely it is to happen. As the group crossed the mountain and prepared to continue along the road, suddenly, an old man floating in the sky with a halo above his head blocked their way.

"Ms. Glubbdya, do you wish to convert to heresy?" At that moment, the current pope spoke thus.

Even without her Golden Eyes, Daphne sensed it at that moment. This Pope was infected with the Bloodthirst Disease! It was an undisguised, direct malice towards her and her group.

In an instant, the lady roared, "Take them away! Leave this to me!"

She immediately focused the holy light on her fist, preparing for battle.

However, Daphne also received a notification on her system. This old pope was a near-fourth-tier being, two whole major tiers higher than her, while the lady beside him was only a legendary-level being…

Therefore, without any hesitation, she immediately played her trump card, "Ji Chu Shi Biao"!

……

"Li Ge, what will happen if the Bloodthirsty Monster is infected with 'Ji Chu Shi Biao'?" Valerie asked.

They had already left lightly packed, intending to head straight to the capital to meet the Sea God's representatives, the two pillars of the empire. Ideally, they wanted to crush the Sea God before his soul was unsealed, giving him no chance to act.

The group was in the shadows of Xiaoye, and the shadows were moving rapidly at a speed of seven hundred meters per second, leaping over all the enemies in their path.

Skip, skip, skip all!

It's like a speedrunner going straight to the final boss in a game. Of course, this kind of operation actually consumes a lot of Xiaoye's spiritual energy, so by the time she arrives in the capital, she won't have much fighting power left.

However, Li Ge said it.

"Don't worry, I will protect you even if I become a ghost."

And so they began their forced march. Using Xiaoye's shadow to entangle everyone, they rushed to the capital at top speed. The remaining few, who had recovered some of their fighting strength, immediately ended the battle as quickly as possible, bringing an end to this calamity.

However, Valerie inexplicably thought of her family and casually asked the question.

“I don’t know…” Li Ge said decisively.

"Sigh, there are things you don't know. Don't you have some kind of extraordinary wisdom? Ask her?" Valerie was a little scratching her head, after all, it concerned her family, so she was naturally anxious.

"Alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you." Li Ge also asked Jing Shi Zhi Hu.

Amazing wisdom: Thought completed. Hello, I don't know. I haven't experienced the effects of that Noble Phantasm, so I can't make a judgment.

Li Ge: "..."

idiot AI!

Li Ge was also at a loss with this. However, he quickly offered his own answer: "The 'Ji Chu Shi Biao' isn't actually an attack; it's merely information infusion, and under certain conditions, it might even be a positive buff. But the souls of those suffering from blood thirst are already incomplete, or even completely gone. If information is infused... that information might gradually give rise to a new personality and soul, and then this soul would be gradually polluted and dissolved by the blood thirst disease again." Li Ge roughly guessed.

“Huh? Isn’t that double the torture?” Valerie asked.

"Maybe," Li Ge said.

The group chatted. At this pace, it would take another ten minutes or so to reach the capital.

Li Ge and the other two were alright, having weathered many storms. Most importantly, even with her high rank and immense power, the Goddess of Love was helpless against the sealing ring last time, easily sealed away. Well, not exactly easily, but all of them had experience dealing with gods.

But Senior Aika looked rather worried. After all, he'd only just started his vacation when he was dragged into working overtime, and the enemy was a "god" of at least level five. His hands were trembling slightly…

He took out a cigarette, ready to light it, but Li Ge immediately grabbed the cigarette butt tightly: "Senior, you can't smoke here! The air here is already thin, and it's hard for Xiao Ye to even get a breath of fresh air. Do you want us all to suffocate here?"

Senior Aika: "..."

"Do you still need to breathe?" he asked.

"Uh, you're right..." Li Ge immediately realized that he was now dead. Damn it, his soul form had completely forgotten that he didn't need to breathe anymore.

Actually, there's another reason why Senior Aika was brought here: his abilities are, to some extent, a counter to the Bloodthirsty Monsters. Of course, only to some extent. His Blood Burning ability can trap Bloodthirsty Monsters in a state of perpetual burning. By severing their limbs and then setting them ablaze, one can create an eternally burning pyre. After all, the Bloodthirsty Monsters' regenerative abilities can't match those of the Divine Blood Fiends. It's highly likely that the Divine Blood within them will continue burning indefinitely, leaving them forever trapped in a state of unrepairable bodies. Perhaps countless years later, when the Divine Blood has burned out, they will finally meet their end.

However, when facing a Divine Blood Fiend, his burning blood might actually backfire and harm his teammates. The Divine Blood Fiend might even regenerate while burning blood and then try to kill him.

Yilian was replenishing her spiritual energy, and Valerie was also gradually recovering. Li Ge, however, had little to recover from. Ultimately, in his current soul state, he would either possess Xiaoye or enter the Insect King's body, in which case he wouldn't be able to use much power. As a soul entity, his only use would most likely be to unleash a domain attack, and then simply wait to touch the Sea God with the ring. That was his only purpose.

So he began organizing information on hemorrhagic disease on the system. The existing data was more than enough for him to compile a detailed account of the course of hemorrhagic disease.

Currently, it has been discovered that fairies can only tolerate trace amounts of divine blood. Once the threshold is exceeded or the divine blood is activated, the divine blood will immediately transform the fairy into a large tree. Those trees are immortal, and at this moment, they are actually close to the previous form of the Bloodthirst Disease, namely, the immortal.

Therefore, the process of being contaminated by divine blood is likely as follows: Divine Blood Corruptor, Immortal, Blood Thirst Disease, Blood Thirst Monster, Divine Blood Abomination.

Following the above process, Luan Po Ye had only reached the level of an immortal. However, even at this level, Luan Po Ye had completely transformed into a grotesque monster, twisted like a tumor; she hadn't even reached the stage of Bloodthirst Disease.

Bloodthirst may directly pollute the spirit at the divine level, then in turn affect the body; while immortality involves injecting divine blood into the body, thereby distorting the soul. However, from the Bloodthirsty monsters, it can be inferred that Bloodthirst is definitely a step closer to the final form than immortality. The final form, naturally, is the abomination of divine blood.

So, thinking of his hometown, a world where everyone had been afflicted with the Bloodthirst Disease, Li Ge suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. The only good news was that his aunt and Mayor Roland were members of the previous generation's Hero Squad. They had a way to cure the Bloodthirst Disease, or at least a way to prevent themselves from contracting it. The biggest exception was little Lola, whom Li Ge had brought to the school.

"Wait a minute, something super fast is following me!" Xiaoye's voice suddenly came.

In that instant, everyone became alert. Xiaoye was moving at twice the speed of sound; who could keep up?

As Xiaoye projected the outside scene into the camera, Valerie exclaimed, "That's General Ryan of the Empire!"

"He actually caught up with us!"

Leave request (approximate)

I've been drinking and I'm a bit sleepy. I'll catch up on my sleep as soon as I wake up in the morning. Please forgive me, guys.

Chapter 272 That Lord

At this moment, everyone was utterly shocked.

Saya's ability to reach such high speeds in the shadows is purely due to the characteristics of her Noble Phantasm, which allows her to experience almost no resistance in this state, much like moving forward in an ocean without any resistance.

In this unobstructed shadow space, she only needs to accelerate, and the speed will keep increasing. Only after exceeding the speed of sound will resistance appear. This is why Xiaoye's speed in the shadow is basically unable to reach three times the speed of sound.

But the monster on the other side is incredibly strong!

There was no skill involved; neither air nor friction seemed to exist for him.

With each step, the earth rumbled like thunder.
