Your Majesty's money, why don't you engrave my name on it?

A dragon's roar, echoing from ancient times, ripped apart the ground of Qingzun City's Upper District. Forty-one nodes that stabilized its existence collapsed in an instant. However, immediately following, countless Dionysus Churches in Qingzun City's Upper and Lower Districts shone with brilliance. The might of another deity erupted at this moment, unexpectedly stabilizing the Upper District in mid-air, preventing it from collapsing into dust.

The collision of the two forces was so huge, so huge that it was almost silent. If the entire upper city had not suddenly fallen and hovered in the sky, I am afraid not many people would have noticed this fleeting fight.

It was as if one person just knocked over the other's wine glass.

But such a trivial act is a real "catastrophe" for the people of Qingzun City.

"Everyone, follow the instructions! Priests and guards maintain order!"

In the lower city, Angelita stood on the high platform of the square with a long sword in her hand, looking down at the upper city that had just pressed down, and commanded everyone to evacuate out of the city.

Below her was an orderly flow of people, and between them was an "order" made up of piles of corpses.

There were nobles and guards scrambling to escape, priests trying to preach human sacrifice to appease God's wrath, gang members and even ordinary citizens taking advantage of the chaos to set fires, loot and smash things.

Some of them followed the orders of their masters, some went astray in their faith, and some let their hearts guide them, but now they all ended up in the same place and became warning signs.

The long sword in Angelita's hand was still dripping blood, but at this moment, no one dared to look up, no one dared to incite, and no one dared to cause chaos.

Even if some of them had stronger power than Angelita, things had come to this point. No matter what they thought, inertia would push them to follow the planned route until they left the range of Lake Rum.

"This is what they call 'the general trend'," Feng Dahl looked back at the girl on the stage in the crowd and sighed softly, "But if possible, I don't want to see her go down this path..."

"She won't turn into that man, if that's what you're worried about." Margaret helped an old woman past the dwarf. "She's just making a choice, between dying a few people and waiting for the upper city to fall. Killing is a means, not an end."

"Perhaps you're right," Vondar snorted. "What about you? Even though you're pretending to be a good girl now, you did all this, didn't you?"

"My role was roughly the same as it is now," Margaret handed the old woman to the guard on the side. "Yes, I did, but that's about it."

"If the entire Upper Town is about to fall, how serious a crime would it be to let the dogs kill a whole bunch of nobles?"

"Just like those dead men on the stage," the dwarf turned away. "You'd better be aware of this."

Margaret looked at the dwarf and walked for a while before speaking again: "Perhaps it's me who should have self-awareness, isn't it?"

"You see something in me, uncle?"

The dwarf suddenly turned around and grabbed Margaret's face angrily: "Shut up!"

"As you wish, I don't want to cause trouble at this time." Margaret raised her hands and quickly disappeared into the crowd before the dwarf got even more angry, running towards Angelita on the stage.

"The West City area is almost evacuated!" Before Angelita could instinctively raise her sword, Margaret quickly announced her identity. "Bati, you should evacuate first too. It looks like the Upper City area is about to collapse!"

"You guys go first," Angelita shook her head, "I have someone waiting here."

"Who are we waiting for? Him?" Margaret glared. "He's still uptown! The lady who could make us land so effortlessly has already come down with us!"

"Listen, Batty. Either Uptown falls and he's dead. Or Uptown stays there, but even then, that doesn't mean he can survive—he's killed so many demons! I've never seen anyone like that!"

"If he survives, he'll become—how can he possibly survive?!"

Even if Margaret exhausted her imagination, she could not believe that there was any possibility that Leslough could survive - his enemy was the devil!

"He will," but Angelita just shook her head stubbornly. "You don't know Uncle Raslaufer, but..."

"It's falling down! It's falling down!"

A panicked shout forced the two to end the topic. The "wine glass" in the sky tilted and slid again. Its bottom even passed over the bell tower and church roof on the ground, and tilted towards the south side of the lower town - this was not the worst situation, but it was not the best situation either.

If this giant, which has stopped again, falls for the third time, this place will be buried under the ruins.

"Annie, we have to leave immediately!" A red deer leaped onto the stage and transformed into Bella. "It's too dangerous here!"

"We've tried our best. If the remaining one-third who didn't escape in time want to blame us, then let them do as they please! Besides, even if we stayed here, we couldn't save more people!"

"I can't... No! Sister Bella, no!" Angelita was in a trance for a moment, then suddenly took a step to the side, avoiding the druid's grasping hand. "There's still one person, at least one person can be saved!"

"What are you talking about—" Bella was stunned when Angelita jumped off the platform and ran all the way to the south regardless of anything. "Where are you going? What should we do here?"

"Leave this to me," Margaret sighed. "I can't handle your affairs, but at least I can clean up this mess a little. After all, I have an unshirkable responsibility."

"Alright, everything will continue as planned. Hurry up and report any changes to the streets and alleys to me so I can make adjustments..."

Margaret could do no more than Angritta, but at least she could ensure that the "order" that had just been re-established could continue to operate. Angritta looked back and saw this scene, and she felt relieved.

In front of her was a clock tower that had been mostly collapsed and connected the upper and lower city areas.

"Come on, wake up, Angarita," the girl patted her cheek, "Uncle Leslaufer will be fine. Now let's get to him alive... and we'll be safe!"

Chapter 250 Praise for Angelita

The flames spread across the streets that were no longer the "upper town". Angelita let go of the burning iron fence and finally landed on the solid street again.

Although this place is probably still dozens of meters from the ground, but after another fall, the upper city is finally no longer tilted, but almost horizontal, which can support Angarita running on the street as usual.

"I dare say this is the most exciting birthday I have ever had, no doubt about it..." Angelita murmured. She dodged and crouched near a low wall. Just as she hid, several demons flapped their wings quickly and flew over the girl's hiding place.

"Destroying a mortal town almost made me think I was on the other side of the abyss!"

A little devil squeaked and squealed, and although the language it spoke was completely different from any language Angelita knew, at least the excitement in it was easily detectable.

"I hope this is all worth it and we can get a reward for it!" Another little devil echoed, "Even that bitch Intiss can't deny her debt, right?"

"No way? Are you crazy, man? That bitch is from the fourth floor. This is what they are best at! Remember that 'paying the bill' incident?"

"Wow, that's ancient history, didn't you know that?"

"If I had known, I wouldn't be like this! But to be honest, I think I might have been in that period before, and sometimes my memory might be a little fuzzy... Anyway, don't think about it. Let's just treat this as a break between bloody battles."

"I'm pretty sure that bitch is going to use that high-level intervention just now to cover up our contributions—they always do that."

The team flew noisily over where Angelita was hiding, but just when the girl was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a hellish creature that looked like a combination of a fat baby and a disgusting fly suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Quiet!" This was a fly demon, it stretched out its long, thin scarlet tongue and explored the air, "I smell something!"

"Come on, we're not real demons, and killing mortals isn't part of our job," a little devil laughed mockingly. "You flying fat maggot, did someone knock your brains out on the battlefield?"

"Perhaps you are the one with the bad brain." The fly demon's sinister laughter made the other devils feel sick. Perhaps they, not this fly demon, should have a sense of superiority in intelligence. "Aren't you worried about Intiss defaulting on his debts? Perhaps we can solve this problem."

"Her little game with her human pets cost us a lot of strength—don't worry, I'm lying to you. Fly demons can communicate with each other more quickly. Although she has stopped those losses now, if there is an opportunity for revenge, she will not let it go."

"But how can we do that? I don't even need your Fly Demon Intelligence Network to know that a chain demon died over there! Let's forget about achieving this!"

"The enemy there is certainly not easy, but we can leave him to Intiss to take care of. We just need to catch a bait, a lone person running up from below, which must be a very tempting bait-"

"Oh!"

Angelita was bombed out of her hiding place without any preparation. The tip of the short spear in the hand of the little devil who had been arguing fiercely with the fly demon was still lingering with green smoke.

"A fellow who doesn't even understand the Infernal language!" the little devil screamed. "All my caution was in vain!"

"What are you hiding? Do you think we're ducks in the lake, quacking around chasing your bread crumbs?!"

The little devil activated another flaming arrow. The fiery attack grazed Angelita's shoulder and ignited the malice of these evil demons. Spells or weapon attacks came towards the girl, and the latter could only wave her sword to resist awkwardly, trying to deal with the enemy with the help of the things around her.

But those demons were even more skilled at this, and even more so, they had wings. In a moment, a short spear flew towards them. Although Angarita managed to deflect the fatal arc, she stumbled and fell among the ruins.

"Hit! I'm awesome!" the little devil cheered. "Go tie that girl up, because I'm the boss now!"

"You clearly missed the target, and she fell on her own!" A devil disagreed, "And I was the one who put the rock in that position. I'm the best!"

It vibrated its leather wings and rushed forward, trying to use the scimitar in its hand to deepen its achievement. However, the next moment, the long sword in Angelita's hand instantly transformed into a deep blue round shield, blocking the devil's attack.

"This is a battle with evil!" Before the little devil, caught off guard, could come to his senses, the round shield turned into a sword light again. After accurately avoiding his subconscious block, it jumped up with its owner's leap and cut off the little thing's head with one blow!

"It's magic!" The little devil who had just thrown his weapon screamed, and at the same time his whole body quickly merged with the surrounding environment and became transparent. "But it doesn't matter. You guys attract her attention, and I can kill her--"

"Why you?" "You should be the ones attracting attention!"

Angelita didn't know what kind of conflict had broken out between these demons, but she could see with her own eyes that these evil demons disappeared into the air one after another, and their intentions were obvious - they planned to attack her openly.

But they will never get what they want so easily.

Angelita slowly pointed the tip of the sword downwards, and a familiar yet unfamiliar power once again surged in her body. It was something she had tried to learn several times but could never truly master.

What was it this time? This sword? The poem of Guardianship? Perhaps when her actions were in keeping with the oath sworn on the sword, this longsword, a product of elven culture, would grant her even greater power.

But that was her power.

If all she could do in the end was beg from a sword, what was the point? She would become a joke!

An invisible poisonous stinger hidden in the wind shot out from behind a little devil and headed straight for Angelita's face. But just as the attacker was about to cheer again for his success, the girl's eyes suddenly locked onto its true position. The tricky tail stinger fell into the air, but the long sword, which no longer had any emerald glow, cut off the little devil's long tail, causing blood to splatter.

"Thank you for your guidance." A ball of frost exploded from the hand that was not holding the sword. Almost at the same time, it swung out, smashing down another enemy behind her. "Praise Angrita!"

Chapter 251 Various Methods

Magic power, the magic power that she had always sought but could not obtain, finally flowed into the girl's limbs and bones until this moment. When her sword danced, the power of ice, fire or lightning could still be unleashed without any restraint, and what she actually obtained was far more than these powers visible to the naked eye!

"Your invisibility is meaningless!" The swung hand axe was easily knocked away. Angelita soon discovered that these monsters from hell did not seem to be much stronger than her - especially after she herself mastered the power of the arcane!

Perhaps this is not what the elven sword in her hand expected, but Angrita is far from being controlled by a dead object that does not even have intelligence. What she has and what she hopes to have is far more than this.

"If I really wanted to exist on something, I would choose an entire empire!"

The girl wantonly poured out the frustration that she had been accumulating for who knows how many years. The "limited talent" she once had was now completely relegated to history. The enemies before her had undoubtedly become her best whetstones, blending the girl and her magic into one.

However, these "grindstones" are probably too weak.

"Now I may be able to understand some of Uncle Leslaufer's actions..." An arcane force field stood up in front of Angelita, intercepting the little devil's flaming arrows in mid-air, but the enemy next to her did not have this power. His entire body was pierced by the sword and he was completely hanging on it, allowing the girl to swing it.

"It's truly a shame if the opponent can't fully demonstrate their skills!"

As Angelita unleashed the last part of the sword style she had learned, there were only a few demons around her who were trying to ambush her. They emerged from their invisible state in fear and began to lie on the ground, trying to beg for mercy.

"Mistress! You are our new mistress, and we are willing to serve you!" A little devil smiled flatteringly on his red face, crawled forward on his knees, and used telepathy to communicate with Angelita. But before he could get any closer, Shouzhi Changshi's sword stopped him.

"I don't need so much." The girl said coldly.

Almost in an instant, these creatures revealed their true nature. The flattering little devil suddenly attacked his companion from the previous second, but his action was still half a beat slow.

Before its deadly poisonous stinger pierced the fly demon, the latter had already opened a large hole in its head. Following Angelita's gaze, the last survivor trembled and huddled together to show his wisdom and loyalty.

The fly demon's appearance is probably even more unpopular than the bloated demon, and it knows this clearly.

"Mistress, now only your most loyal and capable servant is left. Please spare my humble and disgusting life. I am willing to tell you everything I know, see and hear..." Flattery that was even more disgusting than that little devil appeared in Angelita's mind again through telepathy, along with the locations of other fly demons and more information.

Submission and betrayal are integral to a fly demon's nature, and it experiences no guilt or remorse for doing so. Furthermore, their ability to share senses with other creatures makes them both the most reliable and the most unreliable spies in the Nine Hells.

"Find me someone." Angelita didn't know the details of the Fly Demon. She only knew that this monster would be helpful for her next move. However, she didn't know that the Fly Demon had already thought of this.

"Of course, but there are still many living people in the upper city. I'm not sure who you're looking for... Perhaps you could describe it in more detail?" The fly demon carefully controlled its power, trying to reach deeper into Angelita's mind. "I dare not trouble my master to speak. Please relax and let me continue—Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Almost instantly, just as the fly demon's illusion told it that it had almost succeeded, an invisible barrier suddenly collapsed, destroying its carefully laid trap. Wolves, chocobos, and even other wild animals burst out, swarming into the fly demon's mind.

"You little monster!" The fly demon pounced on Angelita, who hadn't noticed what was happening. "What the hell is going on in your head?"

The beast's spirits weren't enough to truly harm a single demon—but there were simply too many of them! Could this newly adult human be some kind of shaman?! But that couldn't be possible!

It had witnessed the way she had just cast the spell! In fact, it hadn't noticed the existence of these spirits before it had delved deep into Angrita's mind! If she were a shaman, this would be impossible!

"Fuck your loyalty! I'm going to feed you to the maggots—"

"Bang!" A gunshot suddenly rang out across the burning street, and only then did the Fly Demon see a large amount of smoke gushing out of Angelita's left hand. But it was too late.

The deadly bullet propelled by the pistol almost shattered half of the devil's head. At such a close distance, the dwarf's little gift showed extraordinary speed and strength.

Just move your fingers and it's enough.

It wasn't until the fly demon's corpse vanished from the scene that Angarita noticed that the spirits that had previously filled the demon's mind, now with nowhere to go, had returned to her side and were slowly fading away. She watched this scene in amazement, as if she had gained some understanding, and some of the information the fly demon knew had appeared in her mind.

The devil didn't make a fuss about this. After all, it had never intended to deceive Angelita for so long. The conclusion drawn from the information also matched the girl's understanding.

"The party... Of course, as long as that portal is there, the party will not end." Angelita took a deep breath. The smell of sulfur around her almost suffocated her, but she still held it back and blew away the smoke around the pistol, and reloaded a round of ammunition for it.

"Come on, we are going to find a gourmet." There was no trace of any devil left around, and Angelita did not intend to continue to entangle with these evil spirits. After identifying the direction, she rushed down the street.

However, long before she arrived at the banquet for her coming-of-age ceremony, her eyes widened, and two balls of flame appeared in the reflection, faintly solidifying into the shape of a giant surrounded by flames and chains.

"What is this—"

It looked as if it was attacking a manor which was her destination.

Chapter 252 Seeking Death

If only I were here.

When Otto's halberd flew out of his hand, this was the last thought he had. The giant before him said nothing and showed no expression, simply swinging his hammer blindly.

The manor, which had been reinforced several times by magic in the past hundred years, was being slowly dismantled by weapons made of unknown materials. Otto jumped off the collapsed floor tiles under his feet, and when he regained his footing, he looked around but could no longer find the next place to stay.

But if he didn't continue to fight the fire giant in this shattered building, where else could he go? To give the giant a pedicure on the ground?
