Where is Anna (4)

Magnolia’s giggling voice sounded close by: “You can’t even protect yourself yet still care about others. Anna, I really admire you.”

Anna turned to look at her: “What exactly are you doing? Be careful not to create monsters that even you can’t control!”

“Don’t be rude!” Magnolia yelled angrily, then raised her chin and said proudly, “The one we want to summon is the great duke, Hubilis of the Demon Realm. He is the one of the five most powerful great dukes of The Abyss. You probably might have never even heard of his reputation.”

Magnolia learned that her grandfather had been a servant of the Grand Duke of The Abyss about two years ago, and she was proud of the honor passed down by her grandfather. Only, it had been a hundred years, but the Grand Duke of Abyss had not appeared again, and her family had gradually declined in power.

Because most of the members of the Lannor family had pure dark affinity, they appeared as just ordinary nobles to the outside world, practicing magic in secret. Because of the common use of dark elements, there would be some changes in the body that other mages would be able to notice. Therefore, for those family members who have reached the two-star level, they would try to avoid going out.

She was now almost at the level of a two-star mage. Her father, the patriarch of the Lannor family, was not a mage. In addition, he was not in good health, so many affairs were left to her, such as this sacrificial summoning ritual. She was the host, and everyone here were dark mage family members that had affinity for the dark element.

In the choosing of a mage to sacrifice, Magnolia had a bias. She didn’t plan on choosing Anna at first. Most of the Mage Association were powerless commoner mages, but Anna just had to be too annoying. After hearing that Anna passed the promotion test one after another to become a two-star mage, she decided that for this sacrificial ritual, Anna needed to be a participant.

She was only fifteen years old this year, and she already was at the level of a two-star mage. There was no doubt about her talent! But because Magnolia had pure dark affinity, she could only cover up her talent and be an ordinary person in the eyes of others. But what about Anna? She was just a lowly commoner at first, but she was able to show her talent to the fullest in the Mage Association, and receive the praise and attention of so many people.

How could Magnolia be resigned to this?

So, she wanted to destroy Anna.

Anna was taken aback and said in disbelief: “The Grand Duke of The Abyss? Are you all crazy? You plan on summoning a demon?”

She yearned so badly to get rid of the demon, yet here they were, trying to summon a demon right before their eyes. Were they not satisfied with their souls and wanted to donate it?

“Hehe…”

Magnolia frowned when she heard Anna’s words. She then heard a voice in the room that didn’t seem to come from a human, and immediately looked over.

Anna was also startled by the voice beside her, and quickly turned her head to look.

Abel’s body was making cracking sounds, as if all the bones in his body were being broken, and his mouth made a strange sound, like he was in pain, but also as if he was releasing something.

Anna suddenly remembered what Abel said to her after a seizure once. He said, next time he did this again, she should stay away from him.

She stepped back slowly, all the way to the edge of the cell, and grabbed Natalie’s hand.

She had a very bad feeling.

“What’s happening to him?” Magnolia was also frightened by Abel’s situation at the moment, and couldn’t help but take two steps back.

Anna didn’t want to pay attention to Magnolia at all. She stared at Abel, feeling that his body seemed to have grown a little by the cracking bones from before.

Suddenly, Abel sat up. When she saw what he looked like at the moment, Anna couldn’t help but blurt out: “Demon!”

She didn’t know when a pair of horns had grown on his head, his eyes had turned the color of rubies, and he even looked a few years older, looking like he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

Was Abel a demon?

Anna looked at Abel, who had transformed in an instant, in disbelief.

For a while, images of him stubbornly denying that he was a dark mage flashed through her mind. Then, it was an image of him gobbling down a roast goose, him lying on the ground twitching, his face flushed and his forehead sweating…

Because she could see through demons, she never thought that Abel, who she had taken in for two months, was also a demon!

Magnolia obviously knew what a demon looked like. At this time, she also looked at Abel in astonishment, and hesitantly said: “You are… No, are you the Grand Duke Hubilis?”

Abel stood there quietly, without making a sound.

Suddenly he moved, and long thin wings spread out behind him, instantly breaking the roof of the cell. When he suddenly rose into the sky, the several connected cells also collapsed.

But the top of his head was not the sky, but solid rock. He slammed into it, made a loud bang, and fell down again, causing a splash of stone debris.

“Is this… the honorable Demon?”

There was such a big ruckus here; of course others couldn’t miss it. When Abel stood up and they saw his appearance, the dark mages in black robes exclaimed one after another, and those who reacted quickly were already kneeling reverently.

When Abel stood up straight, Magnolia was only a stone’s throw away from him, facing those bright red eyes, Magnolia couldn’t help shivering. She suddenly felt regret and turned back in a hurry to her clansmen, saying: “No, that’s not right. He is not the Grand Duke Hubilis we serve… ah!”

Abel suddenly rushed forward, smashing his right hand into Magnolia’s back. A piercing sound of bone cracking sounded. Magnolia spat out a mouthful of blood and fell softly to the ground, but Abel looked down at his fist. He stuck out his tongue and licked it, suddenly revealing a beast-like, ferocious smile.
