Chapter 1266: Chapter 921: He Still Thinks of You
When Ash ca back to his senses, he thought he had returned to the Kingdom of Allstars’ Jashi.
But seeing the empty city center, the capital devoid of any human presence, and the huge, bright rainbow light column in the distance, he knew he’d been transported by the Holy Grail to another scene.
The Source Angel’s sches truly ca one after another… Ash glanced at the Holy Grail in his hand, feeling a touch of intuition, he let go, and the Grail began to orbit around him. He then pulled up his mask to cover his face and headed toward the rainbow light column in the city center.
Previously he could reveal his identity, but now possessing the Dull Holy Grail ant he had drunk the Dull Jade Liquid. The phrase “a treacherous possession” couldn’t even begin to describe his predicant. If the Divine Lords had a chance, they would surely capture him, squeeze him dry to extract oil, and find a way to transform him back into the Dull Jade Liquid.
If seen by other demons, they would certainly realize Ash was inside the Kingdom of Allstars. After all, only a demon could condense a Dull Holy Grail, so even if Ash wasn’t a demon, he surely harbored a wild demon in private.
Thus, Ash was grateful he took the Holy Grail in ti. Otherwise, if Filly were transported in, she would have flaunted the Dull Holy Grail without reservation. Even if she managed to return safely to Allstars later, Ash would have to lock her in a small dark room in the basent to prevent the demons from capturing her.
However, why did the Source Angel transport here?
Ash didn’t think this scene would directly harm him; countless pieces of evidence indicated that the Source Angel couldn’t directly harm participants and at most could only mix up the mages to entice them into mutual slaughter.
This ant that the Source Angel transported here because it believed there was an enemy here who could cause fatal harm.
Or perhaps, I could beco an assassin causing fatal danger to other targets.
Ash walked to an intersection and instinctively glanced to the right, seeing a girl with pink-purple hair walking out of a cake shop. She wore a jacket and short skirt, with black over-the-knee socks taut over her thighs, holding a brown paper bag from which she took out a puff pastry to eat.
If it weren’t for the Dull Holy Grail orbiting her, she would look like a high schooler buying bread on the way ho from school.
“Aside from the pink-purple hair, she looks like a slightly older Liss.”
Ash quickly ca to a decision and waved a hand in greeting: “Inshi!”
“Huh?”
With her mouth full of pastry, Inshi looked over and tilted her head: “Do we know each other? Wait, you have the Dull Holy Grail, could it be you’re a demon I don’t know? But even if you’re a demon of Senluo or Dazzling Star, there’s no reason you’d be a man, and it’s even less likely you’d know … Ah, I get it, you’re that common lover Harvey and Igula often ntion!”
“Haha, that’s a good joke.” Ash approached silently: “Well said, but don’t say it again.”
“Aren’t you guys in that kind of relationship?” Inshi blinked, “But to make an always lying, selfish Swindler considerate of others, and to reignite the will to live in a death-craving Necromancer, I thought your relationship had already transcended beyond friendship to a level that distorts humanity.”
“What you said only proves that honest and kind inadvertently beca their idol, shining on them like a father shines on his sons,” Ash said. “Were you also transported in by the Holy Grail?”
“Yeah, I was planning to condense a second Holy Grail later, but the Source Angel didn’t give that chance. Clearly letting eat another one would be the sa. Does it want to be fair and spread its inheritance to as many people as possible?” Inshi complained and continued eating the pastry: “But running into a companion ntioned by Igula and Harvey here isn’t bad either. Can’t you take off your mask? I’m friends with them, there’s no need for you to also cover your face with , right?”
“They ntioned you too, and I am curious about you,” Ash lied: “I never take off my mask, you can consider the mask as my true identity.”
“Alright.” Inshi nodded, then suddenly took a step back: “If you co closer, I’ll run.”
At this point, Ash was about thirty paces from Inshi, precisely the limit of his attack range. The activation of the Mysterious Chains had a delay; if Ash rushed within thirty paces, his Heart Sword could strike Inshi before the Mysterious Chains strangled her, but beyond thirty paces, the Heart Sword would evaporate before it touched Inshi because of the Mysterious Chains.
Ash imdiately halted, realizing Igula’s assessnt of her was not the least exaggerated, even underestimated. Just based on Ash initiating the greeting, she quickly guessed his identity, so he wasn’t surprised that his malicious intent was seen through by Inshi.
“You’re not the kind who likes to argue, right?”
Inshi unhurriedly licked the pastry off her finger and said, “But you haven’t killed many, right? Your killing intent is too obvious. I can even tell at a glance that you’d make a move if you took another step closer. The most critical preparation for assassination work isn’t weapons, isn’t scouting, but not perceiving people as people.”
“You’re not a demon; you’re a mage, a mage infected with Hell’s Poison, so you intend to sacrifice the Void Wings to assassinate . This business for you is a win with no loss. And it’s not just ; you plan to kill all the demons in this scene to ensure your side can inherit the Source Angel’s legacy.”
Ash could still maintain surface-level calm but inwardly, a storm of turmoil was raging.
