Chapter 888: Chapter 888
The man’s pupils suddenly contracted when he saw who had come.
He anticipated someone would try to block him, but he didn’t expect it to be the head of the Mystic Regulation Office—Aaron Hearne!
Without any hesitation, the man peeled off his demon skin, revealing a petite woman with a sweet appearance underneath.
The woman’s body emitted eerie demonic power, and suddenly, three pairs of black wings emerged from her back as she launched her most powerful attack at Aaron Hearne without reservation.
A barrage of black feathers transformed into sharp blades, shooting toward Aaron Hearne.
Taking advantage of his momentarily obscured vision, the woman’s wings rapidly soared into the sky, her speed accelerated by the three pairs of wings like lightning.
Just as she was about to break through the academy’s barrier to escape, a dangerous demonic power spread from behind her.
The next second, a fox tail pierced straight through the woman’s abdomen, dragging her entire body back to the ground.
Aaron Hearne stood unharmed amidst scattered broken feathers.
He pulled the tail out of the woman’s abdomen and gave it a light flick, causing the bloodstains that belonged to the woman to disappear completely from the fur.
Aaron Hearne looked at the woman on the ground, bleeding and twitching, and simply said,
"Relax, it’s just a hole in your stomach, you won’t die."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the three pairs of wings behind her, adding,
"Your wings are really ugly."
Are you being polite?
Aaron Hearne personally took action and caught the evil demon disguised as a Demon Master hiding in the academy.
It was said to be one of the members of the Ghost Fog who orchestrated today’s chaos and devoured Brock Whitley’s body, flesh, and bones, leaving nothing behind.
Scarlett Jennings heard this news through the earpiece and knew that today’s incident was coming to an end.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, watching the Mystic Regulation Office people carry away the unconscious demons one by one, her peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of some murky demon energy.
Scarlett Jennings turned her head and saw a fierce-looking panda lunging at her.
Although he had shown a hint of murky demon energy in the ring, it hadn’t reached the point of going berserk. Thanks to Scarlett Jennings blocking in front of him in time, he wasn’t catalyzed by Luke Hearne’s Demon Poison Needle to activate the demon energy within him.
Thus, when the demon students collectively went berserk, he luckily avoided it.
Panda Bamboo Hill, shaking with fear, hid on the side and watched the whole ordeal.
He then watched as Scarlett Jennings struck down with demon thunder, hitting all the frenzied demon students in the field.
And then, he went berserk.
The people in the field were surprised to find there was still one fish that escaped the net, and so was Scarlett Jennings, as she saw Hill lunging at her.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t wait for others to take action; her fox tail, which hadn’t yet retracted, moved first.
As the long snow-colored fox tail swayed behind her, just when everyone thought this Hill would be slapped away by the tail,
Scarlett Jennings’s tail wrapped around a very familiar giant bamboo shoot and unhesitatingly stuffed it into the open mouth of the panda.
The panda demon, who was originally berserk, was suddenly stuffed in the mouth, stunned for a moment, and then reflexively hugged the bamboo shoot and sat down.
Embracing the Golden Bamboo Shoots with all four limbs, he quickly and skillfully peeled the bamboo skin and began munching away.
As the luminous bamboo was gradually swallowed into his belly, the slight murky demon energy on Hill was quietly purified.
Scarlett Jennings squinted her eyes.
So, it could be solved by eating?
If I had known, I would still have chosen to strike with thunder.
Not for any other reason; it’s just convenient.
Though she said so, it was true that her demonic power was excessively consumed.
Since this Thunder Fire Demon Talisman was developed, she hadn’t properly used it.
During the last battle with Hannah Hearne, she found that the talismanic soldier wasn’t so easy to control, and with unfamiliar control, it easily depleted her demonic power.
Scarlett Jennings sat on the ground in exhaustion, her body uncontrollably about to fall backward.
The next second, she was caught from behind by someone.
Samuel Chalmers, seeing that the situation in the second venue was under control, quickly made his way to the first venue.
In the thunder fire he had just struck, he sensed his own Golden Light aura.
Scarlett Jennings could actually draw on the Golden Light from his Vital Stone...
Samuel Chalmers wanted to come and see what she had done, but as soon as he arrived, he saw her sitting tiredly on the ground, her body leaning backward.
Samuel Chalmers didn’t know why, but seeing her slightly exhausted figure, he instinctively planned to teleport to her side.
But just as he was about to move, someone else got there first.
With a long stride, the person reached her side, knelt on one knee, and naturally let her lean her entire back against his chest while supporting her shoulder.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t turn around to detect the familiar aura behind her, handing over her body weight without any resistance to the person, and softly called him,
"Brother." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Nove1Fire.net
Behind her, Donovan Jennings was kneeling on one knee, yet his posture remained straight, allowing her to lean on him as he asked,
"Shall I carry you home?"
Scarlett Jennings heard this and struggled to sit up, firmly shaking her head at him, "No need."
She didn’t mind being carried by Donovan, but...
With so many colleagues and classmates around, being carried back would be too embarrassing.
It wasn’t like she was severely injured.
Donovan knew that she had a bit of pride in front of her peers, so he didn’t insist.
Scarlett Jennings had just let out a breath and seemed a bit tired, but she recovered quickly, and at that moment, her peripheral vision caught the familiar Golden Light approaching her.
Samuel Chalmers walked towards her, looked at her, and simply said,
"Leave the aftermath to the Mystic Regulation Office, you can go back and rest."
Scarlett Jennings glanced around but didn’t immediately agree,
She said this and stood up, walking straight over to Luke Hearne.
Her demon thunder earlier was calculated to fall over a wide range, but the center was still Luke Hearne.
After all, the murky demon energy on him was much denser than it was for any other demon students.
Scarlett Jennings naturally went hard on him.
Luke Hearne lay there miserably, with four tails drooping behind him, bloody and charred, thoroughly pitiful.
Despite this, Hannah Hearne still knelt beside him, delivering three harsh slaps to the unconscious teenager.
The force was so strong that even the dead could be awakened by her.
So, the supposedly unconscious Luke Hearne painfully woke up.
Seeing Hannah Hearne and Scarlett Jennings before him, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Scarlett Jennings looked at him and asked,
"Did you voluntarily let them inject that murky energy into your demon energy?"
Although Luke Hearne went berserk at that time, before that, he autonomously controlled the gathering of that murky demon energy on the fourth tail to attack.
He was different from those who unconsciously became tainted.
Hearing her, Luke Hearne replied,
"No way! I was forced!"
At the beginning, he indeed was forced.
