Chapter 110: It’s Like This

Is it snowing?

Although the weather is very cold now, the sudden snowfall is surprising; at the same time, Lin Lin hears hurried footsteps in the hallway.

The members of the knight’s order are awake.

Lin Lin and Caligo exchanged glances, and both put on their jackets to go outside.

Lin Lin encountered a younger knight, who seemed very anxious and stammered, "You’d better not go out," before rushing away.

It was impossible to stay in one place, so Lin Lin and Caligo decisively followed the crowd to the courtyard.

A group of knights were already looking up.

Lin Lin knew what danger the knight was talking about.

A creature covered in scales flew across the sky; it looked very much like a dragon.

The creature had a long, narrow head covered in white scales, with symmetrical horns. When it opened its mouth, you could see rows of sharp fangs. Its limbs were broad and strong, and behind it were a pair of wide white wings. From its back legs to its long tail, a light blue color shimmered.

It had just flown in the air and used its breath to attack several villagers’ homes, stretching out its claws to reach the villagers inside.

Two rooftops were destroyed, and screams from humans could be heard inside the houses.

"White Dragon!" shouted one of the knights.

A puff of white breath shot from the creature’s nostrils; this enormous monster was not very agile. It turned in the air, facing the knight who had just spoken, its yellow-brown eyes looking at the knights.

Out of habit, Lin Lin and Caligo held tightly onto their magic wands.

Lin Lin’s most skilled offensive spell was [Soul Shock], but her magical power was sealed.

A small part of the knight group had the aid of spells, but most were purely trained in physical martial arts.

Their bodies were strong from training, they were blessed by the God of Light, and their swords were filled with holy power, but against flying monsters, they found it hard to strike.

It is difficult to attack monsters in the sky from the ground.

They need to bring it down to the ground first.

Mage David waved his magic wand, and a blue wind lifted the flames from the Knight Commander’s sword, chasing after the monster.

Fire is the enemy of snow.

The monster flapped its wings, trying to dodge; after its tail got scorched a little, it let out a howl towards the sky, angered. The monster did not run away but instead breathed out frost, clashing with Norman’s flames.

Norman was not a real wizard; he took a step back, moving away from his spot before the flames were completely extinguished by the frost.

A sharp ice spike appeared where the monster exhaled, piercing the ground.

Lin Lin realized this was a boss-level creature.

Just like in games, there are small monsters and big monsters. It is clear that this monster looks like the kind that can harm the nearby villages.

Lin Lin did not want to compare Safir to it, but it was clearly very cunning.

After dodging the knights’ attack, the monster still wanted to strike at the villagers.

"We need to draw it outside the village," Norman said.

"Easy to say," David replied, "with what? A toy?"

The knights in the order with magic powers also used their abilities, trying to attack the monster’s wings to bring it down first, as the ground was the knights’ safe space.

Thanks to the monster’s clumsy movements, it not only burned part of its tail, but the bones of its left wing also bent and twisted.

The monster let out a piercing scream.

"A typical corrupted monster," Caligo whispered to Lin Lin.

Lin Lin looked at him.

"They do not feel pain, hatred blinds their eyes," Caligo said, "They are not fighting for dignity or anything; anger burns in their hearts, wanting to hurt all living creatures."

"Are humans completely corrupted like this too?" Lin Lin asked, "Like a disease?"

Caligo frowned, "Yes."

"It seems to have no effect on the body, but rather a kind of mental bondage," Lin Lin frowned.

It was as if they knew the two were discussing it, or maybe it was just that near Lin Lin, there was a knight who had struck the monster, drawing its wrath.

The monster opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and charged forward.

The crowd scattered, and the agile knights moved swiftly.

Caligo, closest to Lin Lin, held her waist and pulled her back.

In sharp contrast to Caligo, Lin Lin gripped the magic wand tightly, and she struck the creature on the head with it.

Caligo no longer wanted to tell her a second time not to use the magic wand as a weapon; she simply could not remember.

At the same time.

David, noticing the creature charging into the crowd, blended a gentle breeze with the people to help them escape faster.

Flames blazed from Norman’s sword as he swung it at the creature.

Without the support of the wind, this time the flames did not catch up with the creature’s tail.

Knowing that the creature in front of her was not a true dragon, Lin Lin had seen Safir in his human form.

The dragon’s body was much larger than the creature in front of her, and their bodies were huge yet agile, not struggling to spin in the air like this.

Lin Lin met the fierce gaze of the yellow-brown eyes.

There is nothing to be afraid of; in the forest at the entrance of Lin Lin Demon King Castle, there are monsters many times larger than it.

Lin Lin reminded herself as she tightly gripped her magic wand and aimed it at the monster’s head.

[Soul Shock!]

From the high swing of the magic wand to the giant monster’s huge head.

Three attempts at the spell all ended in failure.

The power of light surged from her body, and the yellowish collar that limited her strength was also getting hot.

The power was eager to find an escape, and the magic wand was also eager to absorb magic to cast a spell.

The light-type gem that usually shines with white light now sparkles with other colors.

In the white glow, there are hints of red.

If the priest who once witnessed Lin Lin’s magical power test saw the light in the magic wand right now, he would surely have a new understanding of "colorful black."

The broken colors that shattered in the black mist reformed, mimicking the power of fire.

Resonance.

The magic wand did not shine with the white spells of a light-type mage, but instead drew the flames from Norman’s sword into the air.

As if the sword was pulled forward too, the Knight Commander, with his bright blue eyes, gripped the hilt tightly and did not let the sword fly away.

It was not the usual color of flames.

The flames gathered on Lin Lin’s magic wand, fitting like a mouthpiece on the long, narrow head of a monster.

The flames it feared the most.

The huge monster fell to the ground, began to roll, its tail swirling, trying to extinguish the flames with the cold earth.

But this time the flames seemed blessed by a god; the melting snow could not put them out, and the flames continued to scorch its scales.

The knights finally held their long swords tightly and struck at its wings.

Lin Lin had been pulled into safety by Caligo, but the flame-made muzzle did not hold for long; after the spell shattered, the monster opened its mouth and bit the knight, then fell into an even fiercer battle.

That was a war for the knights.

Lin Lin saw the struggling giant beast through the bodies of the knights.

Because she was wary of the monster’s counterattack, Lin Lin kept her eyes on those yellow-brown eyes.

She saw a flash of gray pass through those eyes.

Then, the monster suddenly looked afraid and terrified, as if it finally understood that it was going to be killed.

But it was already too late.

The Knight Commander’s sword pierced its heart.

–

The villagers attacked by the monster were not just the two families Lin Lin saw at first; the knights spread out to carry the wounded and help them get treatment.

David followed the doctor, very busy.

Lin Lin finally realized that he really understood a lot; this man seemed to know everything.

Lin Lin suspected David was the kind of person who could fix TVs, install window screens, and repair plumbing all by himself in modern society, a man with full skills for various small tasks.

Lin Lin was one of the very few people who was completely unhurt.

Some knights have been bitten by monsters, some have scratches, and some have been frozen by breath.

The knights are taking care of their wounds.

Lin Lin originally wanted to help, but the group of knights who only interacted with men every day felt awkward about allowing a little girl to come close to their exposed stomachs or leg wounds.

Instead, they would call out Caligo’s name, asking the quiet little boy to help.

Caligo looked at Lin Lin.

Lin Lin nodded slightly.

He went to carry a basin to pour out the blood.

Lin Lin sat in the corner, staring blankly at her magic wand.

Her power is still tightly locked within herself. Did she just use Norman’s spell?

The power of light and the power of fire are completely different.

The magic of fire is hotter and more dangerous, and it takes more energy. She felt her legs weaken after using that magic and became exhausted.

"What are you thinking about?" The voice of the Knight Commander came from above her.

Lin Lin looked up and saw Norman holding a cup of hot tea.

After the monster died, the temperature here slowly rose, but the night would still be cold. A cup of hot tea might be a good choice to warm up and feel energized.

Lin Lin took the tea from the Knight Commander and noticed the bandages wrapped around his arm.

When Norman killed the monster, its icy breath brushed against his arm.

Fortunately, he is the Knight Commander blessed by the God of Light, so it did not cause a serious injury.

Norman noticed that Lin Lin was looking at his wound. He sat beside her and asked, "Are you scared?"

"No," Lin Lin replied.

She was telling the truth. Honestly, if this Knight Commander had seen the orca brothers eating, he would know that today’s scene was not scary at all.

Lin Lin was not only unafraid but also a little excited.

It was an excitement that came from helping others and feeling useful.

Before, Lin Lin always stood behind others; she went on trips with them, and her coworkers had to stay close, always worried that a bad person might take her away.

But now, Lin Lin was used to stepping up when she could help, becoming a protector for others.

Lin Lin raised her magic wand and spoke in front of the young Knight Commander, who was surrounded by envious and admiring gazes.

"If it weren’t for the collar holding me back, I would be even stronger."

A very confident statement.

Norman couldn’t help but smile; from a certain angle, he seemed to see his younger self, so full of confidence.

During his school days, Norman did not have a good reputation; his classmates often teased him for being too proud and showy.

But so what? Norman wouldn’t change his style because of their remarks.

Until now, his confidence had become the virtue needed by the Knight Commander.

Norman opened his hand, and a small flame appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Do you want to know what just happened?" he taught the impressive young lady a little bit of knowledge.

Lin Lin shook her head.

Norman gestured for her to touch the flame in his palm.

Lin Lin reached out to touch it; a warm feeling passed through her fingertips, and there was no pain from being burned by the flame.

"Resonance," Norman began, "because our magical frequencies are very similar, and light and fire are closely related, we can share some power, and even when spells combine, our strength will be greater than others."

"This situation is very rare," Norman said, looking down with a smile.

For someone who always stands on the battlefield, finding a suitable teammate is truly a joyful thought.

Although Lin Lin didn’t look like she had joined the Knight Order, it didn’t stop Norman from being happy.

"It’s like…" Norman started, his gaze lowered.

He saw the girl looking up at him, quietly waiting for his explanation.

Under the moonlight, this girl showed the calm and ease of a mature woman.

The Knight Commander’s blue eyes flickered.

Women with dark eyes and black hair are rare.

Norman was not sure if it was appropriate to look into the girl’s eyes.

He realized the girl’s hand was still in his palm, touching the small piece of bright flame he created.

The Knight Commander extinguished the flame and pulled back his hand.

He did not finish what he was saying.
