Even If I’m Reborn as a Cute Dragon Girl, I Will Still Make a Harem Book 4: Chapter 221: Fury!
“B̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲!”
The vice dean was furious. How dare this entity make his move on his students in his presence? Had he really no respect for him?
Although he was an old and dying man, that did not an he could easily be bullied!
Battle qi surged in his body. In just an instant, the table and chairs in front of him were pulverized. The more critical the situation was, the calr the vice dean was. His frail arm did not reach for his sword. He turned to Reg instead. No matter what, his first priority was to expel that thing possessing him.
Pfft.
It was the sound of sothing sharp piercing into flesh.
Reg had actually plunged his own sword into himself, just an inch away from his heart. He then started turning the hilt slowly, all while laughing like a maniac.
The malice was evident.
The expression on the vice dean’s face contorted. He did not dare to get any closer to the front. With an unfathomable look on his face, he motioned with his hand to stop the other instructors and elders who were secretly attempting to approach Reg.
Ignoring the vice dean, Reg turned his attention to Lilith and repeated what he said.
“You… are guilty…”
His hoarse voice carried endless resentnt, as if Lilith was really an evil sinner. But no matter how hard Lilith racked her brain, she could not figure out what she had done to warrant such anger and resentnt.
“Who the hell are you?!”
Lilith composed herself, forcing herself not to be overwheld by that terrifying presence. She gritted her teeth and continued pressing, “Cut the act! State your business!”
The person in front of her was definitely not Reg. It was obvious that sothing else had taken over his body. Since he ntioned the word “guilty”, Lilith imdiately rembered the strange black cards written in the language from her previous world that she found on Thea and Brea’s bed in their dorm room not long ago.
“Gaga… We… know… everything about you…”
Lilith’s heart skipped a beat. She had no idea if this “Reg” was saying that he knew everything about her in this world… or in both the worlds she had lived in.
Based on the fact that the cards were written in the language from her previous world, the latter seed likely to be the case.
Reg laughed strangely, as if finding Lilith’s reaction to be amusing. Strangely, tears of blood leaked out from his eyes.
“The Great Celestial Rite… Ga… You must participate…”
A voice appeared directly in Lilith’s head.
“Ga? What ga?”
“Must participate… Or else… consequences await…”
After saying that, Reg seed to have exhausted all strength in his body. He collapsed on the ground. The light in his eyes gradually dimd.
“Damn it!”
Lilith suddenly snapped back to her senses, but there was no ti to figure out the riddles given to her. She quickly took out a healing scroll and slapped it on Reg’s body.
The soft light of the healing spell gradually spread out, like a breathtaking aurora. Yet it was powerless to stop the light in Reg’s eyes from dimming.
Cough, cough.
Reg coughed twice and seed to have regained his consciousness. There were bits of flesh mixed in the blood he coughed up. He grabbed Lilith’s sleeve with confusion written all over his face. With difficulty, he asked, “Lilith… What… happened?”
“Don’t speak!”
Lilith anxiously stopped Reg from doing anything that might drain his life force faster, while beckoning to soone in the distance.
Cornelia appeared and put her tiny hand on Reg’s wound. Her divine power flowed through her arm and poured into Reg’s body. A mont later, she removed her hand and frowned.
“Eeyah, eeyah…”
Lilith digested the aning behind Cornelia’s words, then asked with confusion, “What do you an he can’t be saved? You should be able to directly infuse life force right, Cornelia? Go replenish his life force.”
“Eeyah, eeyah.”
“You’re saying… he’s already dead?”
Lilith turned stiffly to Reg, who was tugging at her sleeve.
Dead? Are you kidding? This guy is still moving. He can still speak. How could he be dead? That’s… just too strange.
“Strange. Is it dark already, Lilith? Why… Why… can’t I see anything?”
Reg’s eyes were losing focus at a speed visible to naked eyes. He seed to have also realized sothing. Tears leaked out of the corner of his eyes, mixed with the bloodstain on his face and turned bright red.
Lilith, who had cald down, finally understood what Cornelia ant by Reg was dead. No heartbeat. No pulse. No breathing.
Even from such a close distance, Lilith could not sense anything with her keen senses.
“Is that so…”
Her gaze fell on the sword that was still buried in his chest, and soon understood the reason.
Reg had lost all signs of living when that sword plunged into him. The stirring had damaged and destroyed his heart. In other words, he was already dead at that mont.
Perhaps he was only able to speak and move now due to the after-effects of getting possessed by that being. It could hardly be called a terminal lucidity.
“Move!”
The vice dean suddenly surrounded the area with a big group of instructors and professors. Since Lilith was petite and made no attempts to resist, the crowd quickly pushed her out of the way.
Reg lost his grip on Lilith’s sleeve and waved it around in the air, as if searching for sothing to grab on. In the end, he could only put it down helplessly, like a dead leaf falling to the ground or a butterfly flapping its wings for one last ti, sadly heading toward its final destination.
Lilith knew deep down in her that the outco would still be the sa, no matter how many people ca.
What could a bunch of mortals possibly do for soone that even Cornelia could not save?
The sound of people talking, screaming, shouting and cursing mixed together. The din caused Lilith’s ears to ring.
“C-Can… sobody tell , what’s… going on? …Why… Why would I…”
Among the crowd, Reg uttered his final words that could no longer be considered final at this point. In this mont, he could no longer see, hear or feel anything. He could only think of the empty sky, asking questions that he could never hear the answers to.
His every word stabbed Lilith in the chest.
That was right. Reg was innocent.
This ordinary but hardworking guy, who had neither special talent nor special bloodlines, had only one ambition—to beco the academy representative. He knew nothing about everything that had happened and had no idea why he had beco like that after waking up.
The cause of all this was because of a b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ that ca out of nowhere to issue a “ga invitation” to her.
Was she the cause then?
“Cornelia…”
Lilith clenched her fists tightly.
“Are you able to track down who is it that possessed Reg?”
Cornelia shook her head.
“What? I thought you’re a deity. Aren’t you an omnipotent deity? Why can’t you do an easy task like that?!”
Lilith grabbed Cornelia’s shoulders and shook her hard, as if by doing that she would be able to shake an affirmative answer out of Cornelia.
“Eeeyah.” That hurt.
Cornelia frowned and looked like she was about to cry.
It was only then Lilith realized that her dragon blood had activated without her knowing.
“Sorry, I… got too worked up.”
Lilith clutched her head agonizingly and slowly crouched down.
The unexpected turns of event sent her heart in turmoil. Not only the death of Reg, but also this incident had made her clearly realize one thing.
An unknown enemy from an unknown origin. A huge crisis was quietly approaching her and she did not know the reason. And this crisis would most likely endanger those around her.
It was Reg, whom she had known rely half an hour ago, this ti. Who would it be next ti?
Brea? Thea? Or maybe even… Lesiah?
Lilith could not imagine what would happen.
……
“As I expected.”
In the depths of the jungle, inside the hut where Elder White lived, Lilith found a black card with “Guilty” written on it underneath the pillow which the unconscious old man was resting on.
The size and the pattern on it were exactly the sa as the two other cards she found on Thea and Brea’s bed.
“What’s this?”
Diana ca over curiously. She took the card and felt the texture with her hand. “A greeting card? An invitation?”
Lilith had an unpleasant look on her face. “Hurry up and see if you have the sa card on you, Martial Niece.”
“? Of course not, I’ve never received any card like this.”
“Stop talking, just look for it!”
Diana was startled by Lilith suddenly raising her voice. Even with that serious look on her face, she could tell that Lilith was not joking around with her. So, she obediently fumbled around in her pockets.
Then with disbelief on her face, she pulled out a black card that looked exactly the sa.
Lilith started trembling involuntarily. As Diana pulled out that black card, a bad suspicion slowly ford in her mind.
Could it be that everyone she knew was given the sa black card?
Did this an… they were all being targeted by the mastermind behind all this?
Could it be that Elder White’s current condition was not caused by White Jade Style, and… it was the enemy giving her a warning?
If she were to go against the mastermind’s wishes and not participate in that ga, did that an all her friends might eventually beco half-living dead like Elder White?
No. It was not a might. They would most likely end up the sa way.
If she thought about it carefully, why would activating a full-body White Jade Style cause Elder White to end up in such a state that left almost everyone helpless? The old man had imrsed himself in White Jade Style for most of his life for crying out loud.
“Ha… That’s an effective threat.”
For the first ti since the mont she was reborn in this world, there was fear in Lilith’s eyes.
It was the fear of losing sothing dear to her. However, that fear was replaced by fury in just the blink of an eye. It was the very sa fury of that legendary dragon who had its inverted scales touched by others!
“Haha… You wanna play a ga? Fine, I’ll play with you. Whoever the mastermind behind this is, you better not let catch you. Or else…”
A sinister smile crept across Lilith’s face. “I will bite a piece of your flesh off rcilessly, even if it will cost my life.”
