Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 713 - 662 Lanci is Forced to be Radical

Floating Castle Number was once immersed in harmony and luxury, but this tranquility was instantly shattered by the sudden onset of a berserk Demon Race, turning the entire space into a scene of restless panic.

The frenzy of Lixancy, like a spark igniting an unsettled flame, spread rapidly among the passengers.

The expressions on people’s faces shifted from initial brief confusion to fear as they scattered in all directions, seeking refuge.

The sound of the harp ceased abruptly, replaced by screams, chaotic footsteps, and panicked shouts intermingling.

Within the hall, the Executioner Squad immediately formed a temporary defense line, protecting the civilians around them, while others, driven by panic, ran wildly in every direction.

The cries and calls for help from children were particularly piercing amidst the chaos, with brave passengers and crew attempting to calm the crowd. However, to the executioner, it all seemed irrelevant; his resolve was clear as he gripped the handle of his blade.

Fortunately, the black-haired, green-eyed young man at the same table with the out-of-control demon seemed quite strong.

When Lixancy was about to bite Lanci, her body was already controlled by telekinesis magic, as if held by an invisible wall of air, only able to struggle slowly.

"After a demon is cursed into going berserk, it can actually become so much stronger..."

Lanci frowned.

Lixancy, a Fourth-Order, nearly possessed the strength of a Fifth-Order after her frenzy.

Although it wouldn’t be possible for higher-ranking Demon Race members to gain a full order’s strength, the enhancement would be considerable nonetheless.

If an Eighth-Order Demon Race member were to go berserk, it would be a disaster indeed.

"What are you thinking, meow?"

Cat Boss sensed trouble the moment Lanci spoke.

In some ways, this curse was extremely similar to Lanci’s short-term intensive training.

"Tata, do you want to become a berserk warrior?"

Lanci asked in his mind.

"..."

Talia didn’t respond, just gently caressed his throat again with invisible fingertips.

"Wrong wrong wrong!"

Lanci instantly cowered.

"Lanci, help me find the one who cast the curse. Can I entrust you with this task?"

Talia’s voice was cold, clearly carrying a trace of anger, not directed at Lanci.

She had seen Lanci empower others before, but it was always on the fair terms of fulfilling their wishes, and at least Lanci never made the bargainees lose themselves.

This terrible curse forcibly stripped the Demon Race of their self and caused them to mutate horribly, making Talia feel instinctively disgusted.

Just imagining the possibility of Hyperion being harmed by it made Talia intolerable even for a moment.

"Of course, I can."

Lanci was more than willing to accept a civil commission.

Besides, it was the first time Tata had entrusted him so seriously.

"During our time in the Poseen Kingdom, you can use my powers as you please."

Talia promised.

In a fleeting moment of telepathic exchange, a chill brought Lanci’s consciousness back to the Magical Airship Hall.

The airship swayed lightly; the leading executioner of the Executioner Squad and his subordinates had already cleared the crowd. They formed a fan-shaped encirclement and were finally ready to act.

The most powerful executioner aboard the airship could not unleash large-scale destructive martial skills; otherwise, it might cause the airship to crash. The best method was simply to neatly decapitate the head of the berzerk Demon Race.

"Please wait a moment!"

Lanci hurriedly stood in front of Lixancy, making a hand gesture.

Right now, he was the one pausing the hero.

He never broke the law, let alone cause a conflict with the executioner.

No matter what, he intended to save lives without stirring up trouble.

This was precisely why Professor Bolao was most rest assured about him.

Otherwise, the moment the situation turned sour, Loren sitting on Ichrite’s side might start sweating on his forehead.

"She’s beyond saving. If you keep obstructing official duties, I won’t just fail to protect you; I will clear you out as well."

The executioner, who had been about to draw his sword, pressed his hand against the hilt again, veins on the back of his hand lightly trembling.

"You’re also from the Demon Race, so why do you want to kill her?"

Talia’s voice came through in his mind.

"..."

After hearing her, Lanci hesitated no longer.

If Tata said there was a way, then he would trust her.

"Help! Officer, sir, she’s taken me hostage! She demands that the airship lands before she’ll let me go!"

Lanci immediately started to cry out innocently for help.

"..."

The entire cabin fell silent.

For a moment, they couldn’t distinguish whether this fragile person was acting.

Or if he had really been taken hostage and was now complying with the criminal’s demands to communicate with the sergeant.

His acting was so convincing that it seemed quite poor in skill.

Because according to regulations, the Executioner could not now disregard the safety of the hostages and move against him and the Demon Race.

"..."

Executioner Sergeant Nigel’s forehead veins were throbbing visibly.

The more convincing Lanci’s acting, the more he seemed to be treating him like a fool.

Because he could sense the other’s eagerness in negotiation, which was not something someone in a hostage situation would normally display.

Sergeant Nigel took a deep breath and pulled out his communication magic device.

Using communication magic, he contacted his master in the Senate.

It didn’t take long for the other end to pick up.

"Duke Tiffany, a foreign human is interfering with my handling of a cursed Demon clan member, I request the right to act without liability."

Nigel asked for authorization.

"Go ahead; in the future when you encounter such self-righteous fools, just kill them directly."

A cold female voice came from the other side.

In an instant, an ominous aura erupted from Sergeant Nigel, as though his restraints had been lifted.

Even the Cat Boss’s fur stood on end.

The berserk Lixancy, with her will lost, became even more frantic under stimulation, roaring like a bloodthirsty beast, blood oozing from her vacant eyes as she desperately struggled against the psychic power magic.

What was once a beautiful and pleasant woman had now entirely transformed into a monstrous visage.

"Meow meow meow! I can hardly restrain her any longer, meow!"

The Cat Boss cried out in alarm.

"..."

Lanci also finally felt that things were quite bad.

The Cat Boss had exceeded her capabilities by three orders; it had been too much of a strain.

Normally, she would need to exceed by four orders to win comfortably.

Now, with danger in front and behind, if things continued like this, not only would Lixancy not be saved, but there might also be a confrontation with the Executioner of the Poseen Kingdom.

"Talia, defend for a moment!"

Lanci sent a mental plea.

As long as Talia could block the Executioner’s strike, he would have a chance to negotiate with the Executioner, who had sensed the danger of combat and entered a state of vigilance.

Even though negotiations this evening would be lengthy and full of uncertainties, he was confident he could convince the other party to give him a chance to save Lixancy.

Before he could finish his thought, he felt his body being controlled by Talia’s spirit magic.

Talia’s Curse magic erupted, destroying the protective magic of the cabin behind him.

She made Lanci grab the Cat Boss and forcefully elbow through the airship’s landing window, launching themselves backward out into the open air.

"Talia! It was to defend for a moment, not to go for broke!"

Lanci shouted desperately in midair.

He should have never trusted Talia, the violence-prone demon who acted before she thought!

Their cooperation was indeed the worst!

Amidst the sound of shattering glass raining down like a downpour and the ensuing commotion and chaos, Lanci and the Cat began their rapid free fall from the high skies of the Huadu night.
