I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 1] Chapter 41
[Vol. 1] Chapter 41: The Imminent Battle
About an hour ago, they were searching for Yinyue’s body in the ruins, but after searching for a long time, they still had no results.
Finally, Wang Shaojun set up a sign for Yinyue on a pile of rocks, hoping he could rest in peace.
At this time, explosions sounded from the eastern part of the city, and students were constantly fleeing from that direction.
Wang Shaojun and Xia Qi’er were very unlucky, as they happened to be near the east of the ruin. Although they didn’t know what was happening, the scene before them and the sound of explosions told them that danger was approaching.
They started running, but on the way, they were chased by several strong men.
“Look, there are two little rabbits up ahead.”
“No need to say more, we see them clearly.”
“That girl is mine, you guys can have the other one.”
Members of the Winter Organization surrounded them.
Wang Shaojun looked at the approaching enemies and unleashed his ultimate move. Stepping forward, his whole body seemed to emanate a domineering aura, as if he were gathering power.
Just as the members of the Winter Organization became wary, Wang Shaojun knelt to the ground.
“We surrender, please, don’t kill us, big brothers.”
Seeing Wang Shaojun kneeling on the ground, the members of the Winter Organization burst into laughter, and one of the men stepped forward.
“I didn’t expect you to be so sensible, alright, we promise to let you go, but that girl, I want to enjoy her properly.”
The man looked at Xia Qi’er’s chest and chuckled. It was a bit small, but he still liked it.
“Brother, that’s my buddy, he’s a guy,” Wang Shaojun said to the man.
The man, instead of stopping his thoughts, laughed even louder.
“A guy? Well, that’s even better.” With that, he moved towards Xia Qi’er.
Xia Qi’er swung his fist in an attempt to resist, but the man’s ability locked him against the wall.
“You jerk, stay away from him!”
Wang Shaojun picked up a brick from the ground and smashed it towards the man’s head. The brick hit the back of his head, but it didn’t have much effect. Instead, the brick in his hand shattered.
“Are you tickling me?”
The man turned around and punched Wang Shaojun in the stomach. Wang Shaojun screamed in pain, spitting out blood, and collapsed to the ground.
“Although this kind of attack doesn’t affect me, you’ve managed to anger me, you little punk!”
The man kicked Wang Shaojun’s face, knocking his hat to the ground.
“I’ll give you two choices. First, lie down obediently and wait for me to finish my business before I deal with you.”
The man walked up to Wang Shaojun and put his foot in front of his eyes.
“Second, obediently clean my shoes for me. If my mood improves, I might let you go.”
Wang Shaojun struggled to move his body forward, beginning to approach the man’s feet. The man smiled faintly, and his companions around him watched with interest.
“Screw you!” Wang Shaojun spat on the man’s shoes, the saliva mixed with blood.
“You!”
The man prepared to strike again, while Wang Shaojun closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
Suddenly, the man felt a sharp pain below.
Xia Qi’er viciously kicked him from behind, aiming at his crotch. The man knelt on the ground, holding his lower body in pain.
“Wang Shaojun, are you okay?” Xia Qi’er helped Wang Shaojun up.
“Brother Xia, do I look okay now? If you had been any slower, I might have gone to see my grandmother.”
“Hey! What are you all still looking at? Come and help!” The man shouted to his surrounding companions.
Although they still wanted to watch the show, they began to approach Wang Shaojun and Xia Qi’er. After all, there were still important matters to attend to. It was time to end this farce quickly.
Just as they were about to take action, a gunshot rang out. Bullets pierced through their heads from different angles, and before they could react, they left this world just like that.
Wang Shaojun and Xia Qi’er looked at everything in front of them, feeling like they had narrowly escaped disaster.
“Are you two okay?”
“Huh! There’s clearly no one around, where did that voice come from?”
“Look down ?? (?? ????? )?? ??”
Xia Qi’er and Wang Shaojun looked down, and wasn’t that the hat Wang Shaojun had just worn?
A hand protruded from the hat, holding a bottle of potion.
“Qi’er, quickly give him the potion to drink.”
Xia Qi’er was surprised. This hat actually knew his name. Although this strange hat was very suspicious, there was clearly no room for doubt at the moment. Xia Qi’er took the potion.
Wang Shaojun’s life was in danger now, he would die if this continued.
Xia Qi’er poured the potion into Wang Shaojun’s mouth. Under the potion’s effect, Wang Shaojun’s complexion improved significantly.
“Cough, Brother Xia, what kind of weird stuff did you make me drink?” Wang Shaojun spoke up.
“Great! This potion really works.” Xia Qi’er finally relaxed, almost thinking that Wang Shaojun couldn’t be saved.
“I wonder how to address you?” Xia Qi’er asked.
“Just call me Zhang Wenze.”
Zhang Wenze, this name sounded very familiar to Xia Qi’er. He tried to recall it in his mind, but it seemed that some force was preventing him from remembering this memory.
“Mr. Hat, who goes by the name Zhang Wenze, have we met somewhere before?”
“Who’s Mr. Hat? I’m a human.”
If it weren’t for being temporarily trapped in his own hat space, Zhang Wenze wouldn’t have to make Xia Qi’er look good.
Now, in order to save the two of them, He has consumed most of his energy. Clearly, in a little while, he could have regained his freedom. But now, he has to wait even longer. These two really don’t make one feel at ease.
That night, Zhang Wenze was besieged by the Séance Society. At a critical moment in his life, Zhang Wenze had to use his last means of escape. He could teleport to the hat that he endowed with spatial abilities through his powers.
However, the price was temporarily losing his mobility. During this period, he could also consume most of his powers to move, but it would prolong his time in this space.
Zhang Wenze began to explain the current situation to them. After Xia Qi’er and Wang Shaojun listened, they found it extremely unbelievable that the Vice Dean with thick eyebrows and big eyes turned out to be an elder of the Séance Society.
Currently, in order to conduct the deity descent ritual and control two S-class ability users, Zach greatly weakened his control over others. With Zhang Wenze’s guidance, they finally remembered everything and decided to help Zhang Wenze take down Zach.
Applause came from the crowd on the altar. Zach was applauding for them.
“Your courage deserves applause, but unfortunately, I was prepared long ago. Are you ready to face my wrath?”
Seeing Zach looking unperturbed, Wang Shaojun couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
“That… Vice Dean, haha, I was just kidding.” Darn it, this old guy actually played dirty.
“Well, the joke ends here. Catch them for me.”
With Zach’s command, several members of the Séance Society swarmed up and surrounded Wang Shaojun and the others.
“What do we do now? Zhang Wenze, you have to think of a way!”
Wang Shaojun kept shaking the hat, but it was of no use to Zhang Wenze in the special space.
“My suggestion is to shoot yourself in the forehead, so you can die quickly.” Zhang Wenze’s voice came from the hat.
Wang Shaojun and Xia Qi’er fell silent. Could this really be the end?
Suddenly, a burst of light flashed at the altar.
It was Yinyue.
She wielded her light gun, piercing through the chest of one Séance Society’s member, then summoned arrows of silver light, shooting at several others, including Zach.
The members of Séance Society were wounded one after another, but Zach remained unscathed, blocking the attacks.
“I didn’t expect there to be another little mouse. Why can’t you just obediently become nourishment for the gods? That should be your honor.” Again and again, unexpected occurrences arose, causing Zach to start feeling a headache.
“Enough talk, let’s see your moves!” Yinyue charged towards Zach.
“Go for it, beauty! After you take down this old man, I’ll treat you to bubble tea.”
Wang Shaojun cheered Yinyue from behind. Don’t make reckless promises! Lives could be at stake.
Just as the light sword was about to reach within inches of Zach, it seemed to hit something and was suddenly deflected. Behind Zach appeared a giant octopus-like creature with a monstrous ability.
“Let me introduce you all. This is my favorite pet. Isn’t it beautiful?”
Yinyue looked at this bizarre octopus-shaped creature covered in eyeballs, with hundreds of tentacles wriggling below. You call this beautiful? Your taste is as terrible as the god that you worship, indescribably awful.
“Go on, cutie. They’re your dinner for today.”
Zach commanded his pet, and the huge octopus swung its tentacles towards them.
Facing the approaching tentacles, Yinyue found it difficult to cope with the onslaught. Meanwhile, the situation for Wang Shaojun and the others was even worse. They were already being lifted by the tentacles, having fallen into unconsciousness. They were as unreliable as ever.
“For Lord God!”
The members of Séance Society below shouted, then rushed forward to help the elder deal with Yinyue, preparing to continue the ritual of descent.
“Now, I need someone to help restrain this big guy and the crazy bunch below, while I take the opportunity to deal with the elder of the Séance Society.”
“It’s decided, it’s you, Dawn! Come out!”
After hearing Yinyue’s call, Dawn flew out of the ring and appeared in everyone’s sight.
At this moment, Dawn was completely different from before. Wait, it should be completely different, perhaps even drastically different. Well, forget it, it doesn’t matter. Dawn has undergone a tremendous change.
Yinyue looked at Dawn in surprise. ‘When did you go for a makeover behind my back, kid?’ But now isn’t the time to think about these things.
“Dawn, help me restrain them.”
“Yes, Lord Yinyue.” Dawn raised the sword in his hand.
“Warriors who have slept here, I implore you to awaken and fight for the light once again.”
At Dawn’s call, cracks began to appear in the ground beneath the altar, and a group of knights clad in silver armor climbed out. They quickly adjusted their positions, forming neat formations, and charged towards the Séance Society.
“For the light!” The knights’ voices were majestic and spirited.
Dawn tightly gripped the sword, the silver light of the sword shimmering. In the next moment, most of the tentacles of the octopus-like creature were chopped off, and the wounds were searing with blazing silver flames, continuously spreading towards the body of the creature.
The creature screamed in agony, using other tentacles to cut off the burning ones to prevent the flames from reaching its body. Then, the severed tentacles began to regenerate. Seizing this opportunity, Dawn had already reached its body, and the two began to battle.
On the other side, Yinyue had already locked her gaze on Zach. She pulled the bowstring, preparing to deal with this menace.
“Little one, let sister play with you, shall we?” Rhaenys stood in front of Yinyue, clearly not willing to let her pass.
Taking advantage of this, Zach approached the statue, preparing for the next phase. Although they lacked high-quality offerings like Yuluo, it didn’t matter. That would just be icing on the cake.
The most important thing now was to quickly bring about the descent of the Lord God. Too many variables had emerged, and he was afraid that further developments might actually affect the ritual of the Lord’s descent.
Zach began chanting the spell again, and a giant eye appeared in the sky above the city.
Zach could hardly contain his excitement, it was about to happen. In just five more minutes, the people on the altar would transform into nourishment for the deity, and then it would truly awaken.
“You seem very excited. At your age, getting too worked up isn’t good.”
Zach turned to the statue, the voice came from behind it.
“Who’s there? Show yourself!” Zach was really angry, could they please stop interrupting his spellcasting?
A girl wearing a cat mask appeared before him.
“Who are you?” Zach asked.
“I’m just a passerby with good intentions,” she replied.
With that, Miss Black Cat summoned a spear and attacked Zach.
The spear easily pierced his body. Seeing Zach impaled by her, Miss Black Cat did not relax her vigilance.
Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, immediately releasing the spear in her hand. A strange liquid flowed from Zach’s body, and the once black spear quickly turned into a puddle of water.
“Quick reactions. Since you all want to hinder me, I’ll let you know how powerless you are against the power of the gods.”
Zach tore open his clothes, revealing a giant eye on his chest. The eerie eye opened, staring fixedly at the girl before him. Miss Black Cat closed her eyes, refusing to look at it.
Even so, she was still affected, her body weakened, breathing became difficult, and even moving became almost impossible. Whispers echoed in her mind, threatening to overwhelm her spirit.
“Hahaha, see? This is the power of the gods, a power beyond your imagination.”
Zach reached out his hand towards Miss Black Cat, ready to use his ability to alter her memory and make her his ally.
“Stay away from her.”
A silver arrow pierced Zach’s hand. He winced in pain, clutching his injured hand, surprised to see the silver-haired girl.
Why was she here? Shouldn’t Rhaenys have stopped her? Where was Rhaenys?
