An invincible journey starting from a different race

"You two!" The moment he sensed the arcane, Abel's power projection descended from the sky. "I finally caught you!"

Don't do that to me at this time!

When Demia discovered that the Aesop waiting for him here was not his real body but a phantom substitute, he felt something was wrong.

Although Aesop did have the means to hide it from her, after all, Aesop relied on this method to escape from Abel's nose, but Demia had always thought that Aesop would not use it.

Because more than 90% of the high-level magic that Aesop knows now has been converted into basic arcane magic, and arcane magic is the power that Aesop is most afraid to use at the moment. It is precisely based on this point that Demia dared to take this action and dared to stand in front of Aesop with the Abyss of Death.

She was certain that Aesop would obey her orders because he did not dare to use arcane magic to summon the teacher.

Even if Aesop was not so obedient, it would not hinder Demia's departure. In short, in Demia's view, this should be a risk-free operation.

But unexpectedly, she still miscalculated.

Just like what she had said to Aesop before, although she had warned herself countless times that she must attach absolute importance to this genius among geniuses.

But every time she thought she had taken it seriously enough, something unexpected would still happen.

For example, now, Demia never expected that Aesop would use his arcane bait to hook them up.

Also caught along with it was... the most powerful individual in the world, Abel.

In fact, before sensing Abel's power, Demia's keen vigilance had already made her want to withdraw and immediately return her consciousness to her body. In that way, even Abel would have no way to do anything to her, after all, Abel could not be there in person.

But she still overestimated herself, or rather underestimated the arcanist.

Because the moment Abel's voice sounded, she felt her returning consciousness come to a standstill.

It's like putting your finger into a sticky little hole. You thought you could pull it out smoothly, but you found out that the sticky liquid was actually super glue.

It can be extracted, but it will be slow and painful.

And just before Abel pulled out her finger... oh no, her consciousness, the strongest individual in the world had already completely descended upon her.

At that time, a ray of light like the sun suddenly bloomed in front of Demia's Death Abyss, almost blinding the Death Abyss who was caught off guard.

"Ah, what the hell is this, it's so flashy!"

Death Abyss was howling like a ghost, and Demia was also trying to endure the pain. It felt like his eyeballs were burning.

This is the real arcanist. Just one encounter almost crippled them both.

If it was not their consciousness but their real bodies that were here, they would have been seriously injured by now.

This state lasted for nearly half a minute before their vision slowly recovered.

Then they saw that Abel's projection was standing with its back to them at the place where Aesop's arcane clone had been before. Aesop's clone had dissipated, leaving only bits of arcane energy floating in the air, like dandelions blown away by the wind.

I have to say, this picture is quite beautiful.

But Demia could feel that Abel's mood... was probably not that beautiful.

He stood there, his tone half angry, half lonely, and half regretful: "Still... I'm a step too late."

It was at this time that Demia frantically winked at Death Abyss, asking her to use the power of the Demon King to return their consciousness to their bodies.

At this time, only the power of Death Abyss may be effective. After all, her own magic and Abel's can be said to have the same origin. Then, as an arcane magician, Abel can easily make all her magic ineffective.

Having worked with Demia for years, Death Abyss had already developed an amazing rapport with him. So when Demia winked at her, she very cooperatively asked, "What happened? Why do you keep blinking at me? And why can't I return to my consciousness?"

At this moment, Demia felt extremely tired.

Forget it, just destroy it, I’m tired.

With this IQ, you're still trying to revive the demon clan?

Demia no longer wanted to struggle, and Abel on the other side also uttered a cold voice: "Oh, who did I think it was? Isn't this the outstanding graduate of our school? And there is another... um, a demon?"

As soon as Abel finished speaking, the magic shackles of knockdown fell on the head of Death Abyss, tying Death Abyss to the ground like a puppy.

After personally feeling this extremely oppressive force with her body, even if Death Abyss was slow-witted, she finally understood who this silver-haired old man who suddenly appeared in front of them was.

"You, you, you, you..." Death Abis was stunned. "Aren't you allowed to leave the Kingdom of Deya?! Why are you here?!"

Abel ignored Death Abyss because he had no idea that Death Abyss was the Demon King. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. So he turned his gaze directly to Demia, his eyes full of deep meaning: "Really? It's been years since we last met, Demia. I haven't seen you come back to see me."

Demia didn't know what expression to show. In front of other people, she could be coquettish, wild, and splashing, but in front of this old man, she really didn't dare to do anything too outrageous, so she could only force a smile and said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid you won't welcome me?"

"Welcome, why wouldn't I welcome you?" Abel narrowed his eyes slightly. Anyone could sense the anger rising within him. "After all, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have known that our students have such a wide range of career options after graduation."

Demia: “…”

Don't be nervous, don't be nervous.

Demia took several deep breaths before calming himself down. "Dean, I know you're furious. But you can't do anything to me. I'm a resident of the Magic City, and this guy... is the current Demon King. If you attack us, it would be like declaring war on the Magic City and the Demons. Are you sure you want to do this?"

After hearing what Demia said, Abel frowned, and then looked at Death Abyss, seeming a little surprised: "The Demon King? Has the Demon King become so weak now?"

If anyone else had said this, Death Abyss would have been furious, but since the person who said this was Abel, Death Abyss could only dare to be angry but not say anything.

Oh no, he didn't even dare to be angry. He just lay on the ground pretending to be dead and admitted his cowardice. He didn't have the demeanor of a demon king at all. It made Demia angry.

"Oh, don't worry, I don't intend to kill you here." Abel said lightly, "In my eyes, you are not worth mentioning."

Hearing what Abel said, Demia and Death Abis immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could relax for long, they heard Abel slowly say again.

"But that doesn't mean I can forgive what you did."

Demia's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly said, "We haven't done anything illegal!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Death Abyss nodded repeatedly, "I am a law-abiding devil! You can't lynch me!"

"Don't speak so harshly of me," said Abel, "but if you take something that doesn't belong to you, shouldn't you return it?"

Something that doesn't belong to them?

Demia felt a chill in his heart.

It seems that Abel has discovered it.

The power of the stars within her body.

There was no other way. Although Demia was reluctant to return the star power she had obtained with great difficulty, she had no room for bargaining in front of Abel. She could only say, "If I return the star magic to you, can you let us leave?"

Abel snorted softly, "Of course. But I want you to use the traction magic to return it to me completely and without reservation."

...traction magic.

Sure enough, Demia knew that Abel would not forgive him so easily.

Pulling magic is a magic that completely removes one's magic power from the body.

The magic power has long been integrated into the individual's body and has become a part of the body, so this magic will cause abnormal pain to the body.

Moreover, when she came here, she had already maximized her senses, so the pain she had to face was several times more than in normal conditions.

This is Abel's punishment for himself.

But there was no other way. Compared to taking his own life, this punishment was still barely acceptable.

So she sat down, held her breath, and prepared to start pulling the magic.

Another troublesome aspect of traction magic is that the main body cannot be disturbed in any way. If there is a problem with the body or the mind is affected, the traction will fail, and you will have to start over and endure the pain again.

Therefore, for people who do not have strong endurance, this magic is really difficult to complete.

Fortunately, Demia is a witch with great endurance and willpower.

So she started the traction magic directly. She endured the great pain brought by the traction magic, and under Abel's gaze, she pulled the star magic out of her body little by little.

The process went very smoothly, and most of it was pulled out quickly, with only a little bit left.

It's finally done.

Enduring immense pain, Demia was about to pull out this last bit of star power, when suddenly, a touch that was stronger and clearer than the pain suddenly surged out from Demia's sea of consciousness, instantly destroying her 90% completed pulling magic.

"what!"

She fell to the ground suddenly, shaking all over.

Death Abyss was shocked: "Demya, what's wrong with you?"

Demia gritted his teeth and his face was extremely pale.

Bastard Aesop!

Don't do that to my body at a time like this!

Thank you for your hospitality, Sister

"Demya? Demya, what's wrong with you, Demya?!"

When the magic traction was about to be completed, Demia suddenly fell down with a look of pain on his face, which scared Death Abyss, so Death Abyss immediately rushed over.

"Why did you suddenly become unable to continue?" Death Abyss asked, "Is the traction magic too painful?"

"It hurts... it hurts so much." Demia gritted his teeth. "That little bastard, that little bastard... he found the location of our true bodies!"

Death Abyss was shocked: "What?! What is he doing to you?!"

"What do you think?!" Demia glared at Death Abyss fiercely. "If you think about what kind of person he is, you should know what he will do to my body... Ah, it hurts. I told you to stay there and not come with me, but you insisted on coming. Now look what happened, your home has been robbed... Ah!"

Death Abyss looked at Demia with a guilty and worried look: "Are you okay?"

"What do you think?" Demia was about to cry, "That's my real body! Not a clone!"

"Ah, what should I do...ah!" Death Abyss became even more worried, but not for Demia, but for himself. "Is this guy going to attack me too?"

"How should I know!" Demia's teeth were about to break. "Isn't it all because of you?!"

"Ahem, let's think of a solution at a time like this." Death Abyss coughed lightly twice, "Let's stop blaming each other."

Meanwhile, Abel, seeing Demia and Death Abyss suddenly whispering to each other, said unhappily, "What's going on? Is there no way to continue? Haha, if you can't pull it out, I won't let you leave... Don't worry, I have plenty of time."

Abel thought that Demia failed because he could not endure the tremendous pain caused by the magical traction.

But the more this happened, the more he would not let Demia go.

Although he would not take Demia's life, Abel was still able to teach his disobedient student a painful lesson.

"Hey? Why don't we just tell his teacher?" Death Abyss said, "Isn't that guy more interested in capturing your junior brother than us? Wouldn't it be fine if you just told him where our bodies are and let him capture your junior brother?"

Demia nodded slightly and decided to follow the advice of Death Abyss, tell Abel the location of their bodies, and let Abel catch Aesop, so that they would be freed.

Oh, little junior brother, you are still too young.

Don’t you know that all good things come at a price?

Now, I will make you pay for your audacity!

Demia looked at Abel with determination and was about to tell the truth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Death Abyss saw Demia was stunned and was a little confused. "Why don't you say it? Did that guy do something even worse? Damn it, let me help you explain it!"

Death Abyss was about to speak, but was held tightly by Demia.

She turned around and looked at Demia in confusion, only to see Demia shaking his head at her with tears in his eyes and whispering, "No, don't say that..."

"What's wrong with you?!" Death Abyss asked, "Why don't you say anything again?"

"Because that guy...carved something on my back," Demia said.

"Engraving?" Death Abyss was completely stunned. "Engrave what?"

"He wanted to tell me that since we were from the same school, he was willing to give me some star power." Demia said, "So he's helping me inject star power into it now and told me not to tell Abel, because if I did, Abel would definitely take it back."

Hearing Demia say this, Death Abyss couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Is this even possible?! Are you really not going to tell me?! Isn't this bullying you?!"

"There's no other way." Demia's tears were about to fall. "I want star magic so badly."

"But is it really necessary to go to this extent?!"

Demia tried desperately to raise her head to prevent her tears from falling even harder: "There's no other way... because all good things come at a price."

Abel on the other side frowned and asked unhappily, "Are you still going to tow it or not?"

"Hold it, I'll hold it right away..." Demia said while wiping her tears, "It just hurts so much...ah!"

The following time can be said to be the most unforgettable time in Demia's life.

She truly felt what it meant to be "pain... and happy", and both aspects reached the extreme, so much so that she was almost going crazy.
