"Call him in to find out the truth," Sonia said in a suppressed voice, "If he really knows and is willing to keep the secret, then it doesn’t matter, but if he wants to report..."
Felix looked terrified, "He is a Holy Sanctuary Mage!"
"My teacher is the Hidden Hand Sword Saint," the Sword Saint with claws said coldly, "The ’Hidden Hand Blade’ is specifically designed to counter the Holy Domain."
"When I entered the basent just now, I was prepared to kill all three of them, let alone now when it’s just him alone?"
A re Demi was just one of the opponents Sonia encountered, and they didn’t even have any friendship; killing him was no psychological burden for the Village Girl. If he resolutely stood against Ash, then he should be ready to be the first sacrifice on the Sword Maiden’s escape journey.
Anyway, Ash was already in hand, so Sonia could be carefree.
"No need to go that far, I have no intention of being buried with you. If you kill Demi, the entire Jiale City will riot." Felix shook his head quickly, "I will persuade him... I certainly will!"
They moved the coffin and the three sleepers to the upstairs bedroom, then Sonia hid in the shadows on the second floor, watching Felix open the door of the villa.
Demi was still in the sa attire as last night, seemingly not having returned to rest at all.
He walked in, looking at the restored male-clad Felix, and after a mont of silence, asked, "Is it worth it?"
"What?"
"I don’t know why you’ve hidden yourself for so many years, but you definitely wouldn’t want to reveal your true self." Demi’s voice was sowhat low, "Now you’re willing to go to such lengths to protect a few outsiders, why?"
"I just accidentally had my secret discovered by you damn trespassers."
"You just happened to return from the Void Realm when we opened the bedroom door and found us?"
"That’s because the door has an alarm system; I knew you were coming in while I was in the Void Realm, so I exited imdiately to see if there were any thieves in reality."
Felix didn’t back down, widened her eyes to et Demi’s gaze, with no sign of guilt on her face.
Demi showed a faint helplessness, "I’m here to protect you, not to interrogate you."
"At this point, you’re still trying to act like an elder brother in front of ?" Felix said coldly, "Three days ago I was chased on the train by the Vandell gang, did you protect in front of your mother then?"
Demi’s posture trembled slightly, he sat on the couch next to him, looking down at his toes.
"That coffin." He said, "Yadas and Aisha will definitely report up in a few days... maybe Aisha already knows who the true owner of that coffin is now."
"Among the invaders of Dazzling Star, there exists a trio of Holy Domain individuals, one of whom, although only ever used Fla Technique Spirit, the Holy Domain shows initial characteristics of a Necromancy Faction ’Death Shadow’, evidently the original form is a Necromancer."
"Death Shadow?"
"When a Holy Sanctuary Mage’s Space Faction gradually grows, they will unconsciously integrate their primary magic with their Holy Domain, causing various changes in the domain attribute." Demi explained, "For example, the ’Spiritual Pressure’ of the Soul Sanctuary can suppress all creatures within it, and the ’Death Shadow’ of the Undead Holy Sanctuary can cause the source of attacks to wither. The Technique Spirit can change, but the Holy Domain cannot."
"There aren’t many Necromancers in Jiale City to begin with, and now an Undead Holy Sanctuary appears among the invaders, and a coffin full of necromantic rituals appears in your basent, Aisha only needs to eat a few more pastries to connect them — sotis she’s so sharp that it even scares ."
Felix naturally wouldn’t admit it, "Can’t it be that I’m cultivating the Necromancy Faction?"
"But you won’t cultivate the Necromancy Faction." Demi shook his head, "The Necromancy Faction requires learning through corpses, and you have been a gentle person who can’t stand death since you were young."
"People change." Felix lowered her eyelids, "Especially for an illegitimate child living under the threat of death, it’s only natural to beco strange."
"And, if you really guessed it right, then are you planning on being righteous against your own?" She squinted at her brother, "According to Decree No. 51, harboring outsiders is a treasonous act punishable by death, so if you are certain that I am really hiding outsiders, are you here to protect , or to report ?"
"As long as you dissociate yourself—"
"What if the outsiders slander ?" Felix smiled, "They claim I helped hide them, would the Throne Hall let go?"
"They would."
Demi said decisively, "As long as you turn yourself in, Vosloda will absolutely ensure in front of the Throne Hall that you’re safe!"
"Words like that wouldn’t have even fooled as a child." Felix mocked, "How could the Star-forging Duke of Vosloda possibly protect soone like —"
"Because if he doesn’t protect you, he’ll lose his heir!" Demi stood up abruptly, staring sharply at Felix, "If you don’t believe in Vosloda’s goodwill towards you, then how about my promise!?"
He drew his longsword and planted it into the ground, "I, Demi, am willing to advance and retreat with Felix, whoever dares to capture my brother must defeat my Holy Domain first! If Father is unwilling to protect you, he can prepare to lose all his heirs!"
"Pouring all the clan’s prestige of the Dazzling Star’s five pillars, I don’t believe I can’t protect you in front of the Throne Hall! If it really cos to this, my Holy Domain is your last Sanctuary, unless it’s death, I’ll keep you safe for life!"
Felix was montarily speechless, she never expected her half-brother would go to such lengths when they had long alienated.
Moreover, she couldn’t even doubt Demi; his character was widely acknowledged, and since he said so, he would absolutely use his life as a bargaining chip to coerce Duke Vosloda. No matter how strict the Throne Hall is, it must heed Vosloda’s request, especially since Felix could claim she was coerced (which indeed was the case), making her acquittal highly likely!
It had to be said, Felix indeed felt a heartbeat, after all, Ash and the others had long since fallen asleep and couldn’t speak, and with Demi helping her clear the bla of treason, she indeed could safely send Ash and the others away without being implicated!
However, however.
There was still a killer god hidden upstairs!
The more persuasive Demi’s words were, the more determined Sonia’s killing intent beca, at this mont she might already have the technique of the "Hidden Hand Blade" pinched in her hand!
Felix was anxious and worried; Demi’s attitude was clearly to safeguard his brother under the premise of enforcing justice fairly, whereas Sonia’s core demand was for no one to touch Ash, the two demands were irreconcilable, what followed would either be Sonia killing and escaping, or the two of them destroying the villa attracting attention.
No matter what, Felix would certainly be exposed, and the Hidden Hand Sword Saint, even if just to divert the attention of the Throne Hall, would definitely reveal Felix’s background!
Just as the atmosphere in the villa grew increasingly tense, with killing intent ready to explode, suddenly the villa’s door was opened by soone.
"Good morning, Felix... ah, did I co at a bad ti?"
A beautiful lady gracefully walked into the villa, she had deep blue hair akin to a starry sky cascading down to her waist, eyes as clear as Qinghai Lake, lips red and teeth white, skin as pure as snow, with a gentle smile at the corners of her mouth, her eyebrows curved in adorable charm.
As she entered, the entire villa seed to brighten up, and even the starlight outside seed to follow her shadow.
