Chapter 192: Chapter 188 Angela’s Awakening
Lis walked out of the Library contentedly, feeling that everything in the world was so beautiful.
He had to admit, despite some guilt, this sensation was indeed exhilarating.
At the moment, Risa was still lying dazed on the bed, unaware of when she would come to.
It could only be said that although Lis had limited experience, being more of a theoretical master, the blank slate that was Risa was completely defenseless, with her defenses squarely in the negatives.
So… was there anything else he hadn’t considered?
Lis always felt like he had forgotten something.
...
That shouldn’t be the case, though. Kingdom, Guild, mentor, friends… he should have considered everything, what was still missing?
Just as Lis was tapping his forehead, a flash of blood-light appeared before him.
A lively white-haired girl appeared before his eyes.
The girl gave Lis a very familiar feeling, but he couldn’t immediately recall who she was.
However, Lis didn’t have to worry for long.
With one sentence, the girl revealed her identity.
The white-haired girl put her hands on her hips and shouted,
“Lis, I’m hungry!”
“I want ten fruit pancakes!”
Good lord, it turned out to be Angela!
Lis looked at the white-haired girl before him with astonishment, scrutinizing her closely.
If Angela’s earlier humanoid form was that of a cute little loli around the age of ten, now she had transformed into a pretty girl of fifteen or sixteen.
It seemed that Cain’s Divine Power indeed was of great help to Angela.
Not only had she grown tremendously in form, but her strength also had increased astonishingly.
Lis sensed that Angela’s aura had deepened a lot, and it seemed to carry a hint of holy charm.
Was this the aura of a Divine Son?
Lis quietly calculated in his mind, reminiscing that in his past life when he encountered gods and Divine Sons in the game, it was only through data and description that he could imagine; he never had such a direct sensation as now.
Seeing Lis unmoving, just staring and sizing her up for quite a while, Angela grew impatient.
She had just awakened from the Blood Cocoon, feeling very hungry, and had come straight to Lis after sensing his aura. How could Lis be so inconsiderate of her?
After being irritably patted by Angela, Lis finally came to his senses and cheerfully prepared to take Angela to instruct the chefs to make something to eat.
Upon seeing this, Angela transformed back into a white Little Bat and perched atop Lis’s head.
Having just absorbed Cain’s Divine Power, she was a bit tired and didn’t feel like walking; it was perfect to have Lis as a “means of transport.”
The chefs were quick, as they knew the house had a little bat who loved fruit pancakes, so they had prepared many semi-finished ingredients beforehand.
Soon, numerous fruit pancakes of various flavors were laid out on the dining table.
Angela’s little eyes shone brightly as she dived directly onto the steaming pancakes and started nibbling.
It wasn’t because the bat form made it easier to feel full; Angela’s appetite was the same in any form. However, according to her, the Little Bat form made the experience of eating much more enjoyable.
“Slow down,”
Lis said with a laugh, watching Angela devour the pancakes.
For Lis, Angela was no longer the Gold Level boss from McGwire’s Death Tomb.
During their time together, he had come to see her more like a little sister.
It was just that this sister was a bit too strong.
Not only did she possess Gold Level strength, but now she had also become Cain’s Divine Son.
In the blink of an eye, Angela had finished five pancakes, and her eating pace slowed down; she was no longer in such a rush.
Lis looked at the Little Bat’s flat tummy, wondering if she had some sort of dimensional stomach. The amount she ate was three or four times the size of her body.
“Angela, how do you feel, and how was your haul this time?” Lis asked with a smile.
Angela’s little head popped out from a half-eaten pancake, her little paw scratching herself as she said,
“I feel like I’ve become stronger than before, and my body is much more robust.”
“It seems like I’ve also gained a special power inside, but I don’t know how to use it yet.”
A special power?
It must be Divine Power, if she can master it smoothly, she should be able to use Cain’s Divine Arts.
But looking at Angela like this, who knows how long it will take for her to figure it out on her own!
Lis thought of Marion’s earlier suggestion and, after a moment of contemplation, he asked:
“That should be your ancestor’s Divine Power, it’s very difficult to fully master.”
“So, how about you go to Frost Blood Castle with Marion and learn properly from Duke Burns?”
“But I don’t want to go that far, ah, staying with you is just fine!”
Angela declared without a second thought.
“Angela, I’m planning to go on a journey soon and can’t take you with me.”
“After all, with you being so strong, there wouldn’t be much of a challenge for me.”
Lis shook his head and explained to Angela.
“Then I’ll just secretly follow you!”
Angela tilted her little head and looked at Lis.
“That’s no different from coming with me.”
Lis couldn’t help but laugh, but he still gratefully stroked Angela’s head.
“Okay, then, alright.”
Angela nodded, suddenly feeling like the fruit pancake in front of her lost its appeal.
“You don’t have to be like this, if you master the use of Divine Power soon, then you can join me on adventures later on.”
Lis smiled and comforted Angela, saying:
“Going there really is for your benefit, who knows, I might even make a detour to check on you during my journey!”
“Then it’s a deal!”
Angela gave it some thought and still agreed to go to Frost Blood Castle with Marion.
I’m not having an easy time, that guy Marion has to pay up.
That’s what Lis thought, crushing the Communication Crystal Marion had given him previously.
…
It wasn’t long before Marion appeared at the mansion’s entrance, but he politely waited there without entering uninvited.
Lis came out with Angela to meet Marion, who seemed to have enjoyed life in Bright City a bit too much and had grown… plump.
Marion nodded upon seeing Angela who seemed reborn.
“Truly worthy of being the Divine Son, you have already fully absorbed the ancestor’s Divine Power.”
Lis shared the news with Marion that Angela was willing to go to Frost Blood Castle, which seemed to please him greatly.
“I’m very grateful for your help, Mr. Lis, you’ll always be a friend of the Blood Clan.”
Marion turned to Angela and said:
“Please rest assured, Divine Son, you will certainly achieve adequate growth at Frost Blood Castle.”
“Lis, you’ve got to come and find me.”
Angela looked at Marion with some disapproval, hesitated for a long time, but didn’t fly onto his head. Instead, she transformed into a girl and stood by Marion’s side.
“Frost Blood Castle also welcomes you, Mr. Lis,”
Marion added, nodding his head:
“Please accept this, Mr. Lis.”
“As long as you come to Duke Burns’ Domain in Bolin Kingdom, I will sense it and welcome you to Frost Blood Castle, I believe it won’t disappoint you.”
Lis took the blood-colored badge passed to him by Marion, on which was stamped a blood-colored crescent moon.
“I understand.”
Lis stored the badge in the storage ring, looked at the eager Angela, and couldn’t help but add:
“I will come, don’t worry.”
Lis felt a little odd, as if he was sending a child to school, but Angela was sensible, not crying or making a fuss.
“Mm-hm.”
Angela nodded, her mood gradually improving.
“Well then, we shall take our leave.”
Marion took off his hat, bowed slightly to Lis, and after a moment, he and Angela’s figures vanished from Lis’s sight.
