Ember Skywalker

Chapter 16 Kill the perverted black robe! An Qi!

The distance was too close, and coupled with his contempt, there was no time to dodge!
Only then did he realize that the boy had been pretending!
In a hurry, he gathered his strength and punched the flame.

In his opinion, even this could easily defeat the flames.

But he was wrong.

As soon as the flame touched his fist, it began to burn wildly, as if it was fueled by his energy.

In a blink of an eye, the flames jumped up his arms to his chest and neck, burning him with a sizzling sound.

"Ah! How could this happen! What kind of burning power is this!?"

Panic and screams came from the flames.

He had never seen this kind of flame before, it actually burned energy!
In a blink of an eye, he was completely engulfed in flames and rolled on the ground.

After a while, the screaming stopped.

The black-robed man's body had already turned charred and melted.

Raven also fell down.

The moment the dagger pierced his waist, he felt an unbearable pain and fainted immediately.

Rumble.

There were flashes of lightning and thunder, and rain began to fall from the sky. The big raindrops hit the ground, causing smoke to rise.

Water quickly filled the alley, covering Raven's arms, neck, and then face.

cold!
Biting cold!
In the darkness, Raven felt as if his whole body was freezing, but he couldn't open his eyes.

He felt increasingly unable to breathe, as if he was drowning.

If this continues he will soon suffocate to death.

Suddenly, he felt his body moving!
It seemed as if someone was pulling him.

His eyelids finally moved and slowly opened.

The sky was dark and the rain was pouring down.

His whole body was immersed in the water and someone was dragging him backwards by his shoulders.

He turned his head with difficulty.

That was a teenage girl.

A pair of clear and bright big eyes, warm and pure, with short hair cut to the ears, was pulling him with difficulty.

The rain flowed down her face, and a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead.

"you're awake!"

The girl was overjoyed to see Raven turn around.

"Who are you?" Raven asked weakly.

"My name is Angel Isabella. You can call me Angel."

As she spoke, rain water poured into her mouth.

Raven felt that the girl's voice was like heavenly music.

"Your injuries are serious. I'll take you to see your grandmother. She will definitely be able to save you."

"Thanks……"

"Can you stand up?"

Raven tried, but he was so weak from the blood loss and cold that he had no strength left.

"Don't move, I'll pull you away." said the girl.

The rain was getting heavier and the world was becoming hazy.

In the heavy rain, a girl dragged a boy and moved forward with great effort, leaving a long trail of blood behind them.

After an unknown amount of time, the two arrived in front of a house.

“We’re here!” An Qi was almost fainting and shouted anxiously, “Grandma! Grandma!

The door opened and an old woman came out.

She had a head full of white hair, a hunched back, and cloudy eyes.

"Grandma, help me, he's hurt!"

A gleam of light flashed in the old woman's cloudy eyes. She looked at Raven and then stretched out her trembling hand to drag him into the house.

In a daze, Raven felt someone treating his wounds, and then he fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up again and found himself lying in bed.

I also changed my clothes.

He felt a warm feeling in his waist and looked down.

The wound had been treated and covered with herbs.

"you're awake?"

An old woman said, with Angie sitting next to her.

"Thank you for saving me." Raven understood what was going on.

“Well, I gave you some herbs, you still need to rest for a few days.

By the way, what's your name? "

"Raven."

"Your injuries were caused by a great warrior. How could you have offended such a strong man?"

"An unintentional enemy."

"Can you tell me something?"

The old woman spoke softly, a hint of deep green flashing in her cloudy eyes.

Raven felt his consciousness being guided by a mysterious force and became confused.

Without realizing it, he let it all out.

Not only did he talk about the battle with the black-robed man, but also about his escape from Champs-Elysées and how he had tried every possible way to save Caroline these days. However, he did not tell anyone about the strange dream and the three shadows on St. Peter's Basilica.

It seemed that was not in his memory.

"Grandma, brother Raven is so strong." An Qi felt very distressed and tears appeared in her eyes.

"Nice kid."

The old woman nodded with satisfaction, and the green in her eyes faded and became cloudy again.

"It's safe here, have a good rest," she touched Raven's head, "Stop calling people perverts, it's unpleasant to hear."

"Uh...what did I just say?" Raven felt something was wrong.

I don't seem to be a heartless person, so why did I tell everyone everything just now?

Are you being hypnotized?

He looked at the old woman in confusion and found that she was just an ordinary old woman.

"Grandma, is Brother Raven okay?" An Qi asked with concern.

"Just take a good rest, but don't do any work for half a month, let alone sell newspapers."

"How can that be possible? He still has to save Aunt Caroline."

"Did I even say this?" Raven was speechless. "What a leaky mouth!"

The old woman said calmly: "That kind of injury is not an ordinary injury, unless he wants to die."

"Thank you, mother-in-law. I will pay attention to it." Raven was about to get up and say goodbye.

An Qi was anxious: "Grandma, let's help Brother Raven."

"Help? Ten gold coins, do you have it?"

"This……"

"Thank you, Anqi. I will find a way. Thank you, mother-in-law, for saving me."

After saying that, he limped out.

Just as I was about to leave, the old woman's voice suddenly rang out:

"I heard that Baita College is recruiting students, you can sign up and try.

Once we are inside the White Tower, your mother's affairs will be settled."

Raven's eyes lit up.

"I wonder when?"

"A week later."

"Thank you."

"Brother Raven, I'll take you back." Angel said happily.

Along the way, Raven asked Angel about the old woman, trying to get some clues.

He had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with her.

However he was disappointed.

According to Anqi, she has lived here with her grandmother since she was born, and her grandmother makes money by selling herbs to treat people.

The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at Raven's residence.

"Come in and sit down."

He said to Angie.

"But my brother is a little shy, don't mind it."

He told her about John's amnesia.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

When I opened the door, John was leaning against the bed, wiping Caroline's face.

"Brother, I brought a friend back."

An Qi flashed out from behind Rui.

John was startled and stepped back quickly.

"Don't be afraid, this is Angie. I was in danger today and she saved me." Raven comforted.

"Brother John, did I scare you?"

Angie hid behind Raven, leaving only her head exposed, and spoke softly.

Looking into her clear eyes, John suddenly became less nervous and shook his head.

An Qi smiled gently: "Hello, Brother John, my name is An Qi."

"An...Angie."

"Hehe, can I see my aunt?"

The latter hesitated: "Yeah."

Angie came to Caroline's bedside.

The latter lay quietly, as if soundly asleep.

She took the cloth from John's hand and carefully cleaned her up.

"I'll help you take care of your aunt when I have time in the future."

"This...is not good."

"Nothing, I have time anyway, Brother John, would you like me to come?"

The latter hesitated.

"Listen to my brother."

Raven's head snapped up.

"Brother, did you recognize me?"
