“It seems you’re not just an ordinary lower-ranking employee, sir. If there’s another chance, live a better life.”
Boom, bang!
When I conjured blue flames, everything around began to burn violently.
The flames I learned from Shionne had the characteristic of incinerating everything except living beings, and its effectiveness was more than twice that of regular fire magic, leaving no traces of most things.
“Eek! H-hot! Save us!”
“Don’t be so dramatic. It’s not hot at all. Mister, reflect on your actions while encased in ice.”
Crackling.
With only the part of their nose allowing them to breathe left unfrozen, the man couldn’t mock us any longer.
In reality, using magic to kill a person was a straightforward task, but I still didn’t want to dirty my hands if I didn’t have to.
“Emergency! Sound the alarm! Intruders have entered!”
“For assassins, their reactions are quite slow. With this lack of unity, you’ll barely scrape by with grass in your mouth.”
“Shut up, kid!”
“Kill them immediately!”
Dozens of people rushed towards me with clenched fists, but not a single one managed to approach me closely, thanks to Raven and Cain, who swiftly dealt with them, wielding their swords.
“Raven, how about a bet on who can subdue more enemies? I’m still bitter about losing to you in the hunting competition!”
“I won’t lose to you. Bring it on, Cain.”
They really went out of their way for this.
After letting out a deep sigh, I supported the two with a combination of ice and fire magic.
If someone threw a projectile, I incinerated it with flames; if someone charged at us, I froze them solid with ice. The methods were diverse.
Occasionally, when assassins with magic abilities appeared, I secretly summoned Sandmen to put them to sleep.
Although it was using spirit magic, it took the form of golden dust flying without any form of a spirit, so there was no fear of being dis
“The toothless grandfather should be getting ready to sleep soon. Elders usually go to bed early.”
“Haha, got me there. You’re more delightful than I thought.”
Hey, I’m not having any fun at all.
Frowning, I pulled out the dagger Charlotte had from the magically connected storage.
Then, firmly gripping the dagger, I aimed it directly at Galio’s heart.
“Thanks for the nice gift, Galio. Can I use this to extract someone’s soul?”
“How did you know that? I thought there was no one left who knew how to use it. It’s quite fascinating.”
The spirit told me, you brat.
…I was about to say that, but I decided to glance around once again because Cain, who was standing there, was bothering me.
“Let’s leave trivial matters aside for now, and why don’t you tell me why you tried to steal my soul? I came all the way here just to see you, so I could do that much, right?”
“Um… that’s a bit difficult. But if you return the dagger, I’ll consider it positively.”
“Am I crazy? I wouldn’t return something like this to a scoundrel like you. And everything you say is a lie.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll have to take it by force. Consider it a lesson for the naive princess.”
For a moment, a black aura erupted from Galio’s body.
Although I didn’t know how much dark magic he had used so far, it seemed like he used m
However, one thing was certain: now Galio was beyond observing and would undoubtedly show clear actions.
“I heard that you’re quite skilled in magic. Why don’t you try blocking this for once?”
As Galio waved his hand in the air, ominous black smoke billowed out.
And soon after, from a large circular magic circle, skeletal knights with only bones emerged.
They were undead.
“What, are you a necromancer? You know a lot of useful tricks.”
“I’ve lived for a long time, so I’ve learned only such tricks. First, let’s deal with the two boys behind you, and then, it would be nice to have a private conversation with the princess. Oh, of course, I’ll take that dagger back as well.”
“This is really amusing, you. Do you think I’ll just stand by and watch you do that?”
“Well, why don’t you try blocking it? You’ll need to give it your all.”
Smirking with his mouth raised like a snake, Galio beckoned towards us.
At that moment, the undead knights, who had been whimpering in place, fiercely rushed towards us.
It was the beginning of a full-fledged battle.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
