Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

"I'm sorry, it's the master's order."

While Sloth was still dozing off, Ying Li's attack came down. Her loose body suddenly turned into a streaking stream of light and she dodged it unscientifically.

Ying Li looked at the sofa that was smashed to pieces by him and frowned. He clearly felt that he had hit the other person.

"Whizzing……"

The two blades whizzed over, spinning continuously in the air, tearing the air, sparking and lightning along the way.

Ying Li drew out the Eclipse Sword and stabbed it into the spinning blade without dodging or evading, actually blocking the blade's rotating path.

Another battle blade flew by and was entangled by the outer defense of the "Sea of ​​Sparks", but the next second Ying Li felt that something was wrong and quickly flew back.

Two battle blades suddenly appeared where he had just stayed, piercing into the ground in a cross shape, piercing through the earth, and causing huge waves with a terrifying sound.

"Master, Sloth is good at sensory deception." Jack pointed out.

"really."

Ying Li also guessed something. At this time, the lazy attack came again. The moment before, she was still on the wall, and the next second, the murderous aura attacked Ying Li from behind.

The "Sea of ​​Sparks" cannot relax for a moment and has set up an impenetrable defense around him. Ying Li is like hiding in the belly of a giant beast.

At the same time, he took advantage of the gap between "Laziness" attack and movement to try to launch a sneak attack with "Shadow Lock", but he always hit the afterimage.

The "Dark Vision World" had been opened to the maximum, but it was impossible to capture the opponent's true position. Laziness affected not only the simple vision and touch, but even powerful detection magic could be deceived.

"Jealous, if you like to commentate, then say more. Don't let your master lose."

"Laziness" she said faintly. She didn't seem to mind at all that Jack was exposing her secrets. After all, speaking took effort and she was too lazy to open her mouth.

Jack said, "That's not necessary. That's all you can do."

Sloth: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to scold you."

While quarreling, Laziness was still able to concentrate on dealing with the overwhelming "Sea of ​​Sparks", and the "Shadow Locks" that suddenly attacked him also hit the open space as usual.

Ying Li increased the intensity of his operation, controlling more "Shadow Locks of Wrath", wrapping them towards the very edge of the room, and then letting lines of dark flames spread inward.

He wanted to block all of Laziness's escape routes, so that she wouldn't be able to slip around, right?

"Evil Glance"!

At the same time, the other party understood Ying Li's purpose, and came to Ying Li's side as soon as possible. His eyes emitted dark green flames, and like the breath of a giant dragon, he shot out a terrifying flame.

The fire did not hit Ying Li, so she chose a chain intersection not far from Ying Li. However, this was a chain drawn by Ming Yan, so how could she break through it with her magic skills?

The flames kept burning the chains, but new chains kept condensing again, and the two sides started to consume their magical power.

"Hmph! Change your moves, this one doesn't work!" Ying Li said with ease. The magic power reserves in his body are not comparable to those of ordinary Ghost Kings in the late stage.

"Tsk! Indeed..."

The lazy and languid expression finally changed. She quickly stopped her skills and suddenly a pair of bat wings grew out from behind her. She rushed towards Ying Li, the core, at the speed of lightning.

The Eclipse Sword was unsheathed and intertwined with the opponent's blade. A huge force came, and Ying Li moved his right hand cunningly. Countless sharp petals attacked from behind Sloth, forcing Sloth to withdraw his move.

"Blade Dance"!

Sloth did retreat, but not completely. Instead, she pretended to take a step back to trick Ying Li into retracting his attack. Then she made a surprise counterattack, using her powerful wings to drive her agile body back to Ying Li's side, swinging the blade at a high speed. At the same time, her wings also drove her body to spin and sprint rapidly, using inertia to increase the weight of the attack.

"Oh?"

——"Netherworld Sword Technique. Fifth Style: Darkness"!

Faced with the overwhelming attack of blade afterimages, Ying Li chose to fight head-on. He used a point to break the surface, keenly caught a flaw in Laziness, and stabbed with a sword to launch his strongest single attack.

"Depend on!"

Lazy's confused eyes suddenly widened and he cursed subconsciously.

She pushed off the ground with her feet and flapped her wings forward suddenly. A gust of wind rushed back towards her body, and actually violated the principle of inertia, causing her to fly backwards unscientifically.

"Tsk..."

Ying Li also expressed helplessness. Such a huge energy-consuming move failed, and the heavy attack disappeared into the air.

If she was lazy and didn't dodge, this move would definitely break through her dense attack network and then hurt her body. Because she also poured a lot of strength into this attack, it would be difficult to achieve both offense and defense if she used too much strength.

The best outcome of this attack would be that both sides would be injured. She felt that if she was injured, she would have to go for treatment, but that was too much trouble and she was too lazy to go.

Ying Li even planned to use the "Shadow Lock" to block her retreat at the same time as this attack, but his perception was deceived again and he failed to catch her.

But it also forced Laziness into a dead end. The encirclement of "Shadow Lock" and "Sea of ​​Sparks" had been completely closed, and there was no possibility of escaping!

"Netherworld Sword Technique. Third..."

Seeing that he could close the net, Ying Li wanted to use the "Soul Abyss" which had a larger range and was less likely to miss. However, the opponent suddenly lost his temper and lost all his fighting spirit. He even dropped his weapon and raised his hands high, saying:

"Sorry, I surrender and won't fight anymore!"

Good fellow, three consecutive attacks of quality, how could Ying Li attack again? He quickly stopped the attack, causing the evil wave of dark flames that had just shown its edge to recede.

"You should have many more cards up your sleeve. The Seventh Level of Ghost King Realm is not limited to this."

Ying Li seemed to be addicted to beating people, and he still felt a little unsatisfied with her sudden surrender.

"Yawn~ Tired and lazy. I've completed my mission anyway, so I won't fight anymore!"

Sloth fell into a drowsy state again, but when she turned around, she found that her sofa was gone, and the only two seats were occupied by two colleagues from the Seven Deadly Sins. She looked at Ying Li with a distressed and resentful expression and said:

"Compensate me with a bed, a sofa, or a cushion."

As she said this, she took out her mobile phone, opened a shopping app, and threw it to Yingli. This was like asking Yingli to buy her a bed and have it delivered.

"Hey~"

Jack shook his head helplessly, walked over, took the phone from Ying Li, gave it back to his poor colleague, and pushed her onto his armchair.

"You can sleep here with me. I need to go with Master and send him to school."

"Oh. Huhuhu..."

Laziness made him fall asleep as soon as he said he would. He sat down, skillfully operated the handle under the seat, laid the backrest flat, closed his eyes and began to snore.

Ying Li: "Hey! You haven't told me where Galantina's soul is!"

Jack patted his arm and pointed to the door: "Master, follow me, I know where she is. That guy can't lead you."

As soon as the two left, the "gluttonous" roe owl happened to be full and had no idea how much of Jack's salary it had spent on this meal.

"Hiccup~"

He burped and was about to lie down to have a good rest, but Sloth suddenly woke up and murmured:

"Wait, what is Ying Li's cultivation level?"

Roe Owl was ashamed: "You fought him for hundreds of rounds, how could you forget?"

Sloth: "I just had a little dream, I really forgot about it. I feel... he is comparable to the master from half a year ago, or should I consider him as the eighth level of the Ghost King Realm?"

"Hey!"

Roe Owl sighed and said, "Ghost King Level 4! Aren't you afraid that your master will punish you for lying about military intelligence?"

"Got it. Please help me write my mission report."

After saying that, she fell asleep and threw a salary card to the reluctant Roe Owl.

……

On the way to the Seven Deadly Sins studio, Jack explained to Ying Li apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Master. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Rias... is just like that. The technique she practices only makes her lazier as she becomes stronger."

Ying Li didn't care too much. It didn't matter who led the way. Following a sleepyhead would probably waste a lot of time.

"It doesn't matter. Her technique is quite interesting. I haven't asked you yet what the principle behind her technique is."

Jack said: "'Gray World', she has practiced this move, which is also a big sign representing her name 'Seven Deadly Sins - Sloth'. It can make all creatures in the area be affected by her lazy and indolent emotions, so the higher her cultivation level is, the lazier she becomes, all for the purpose of having a deeper impact on the enemy."

Ying Li suddenly found it funny. What's the limit of one for one? I'm lazy but I'm going to make you as lazy as me, right?

Jack also felt helpless about her fighting style that hurt the enemy a thousand and hurt himself eight hundred. In fact, the fighting style of their "Seven Deadly Sins" is almost the same. The seven negative emotions represented by the "Seven Deadly Sins" can always be highlighted, but the effect of "Sloth" Rias is the strongest.

Jack also said: "The other means of attack are her "Demon Hunter" professional skills, and there are a series of "Dark World" and Demon Hunter combat skills derived, so I said... She only has that one move."

Walking into the familiar manor, there are many new faces here. They should be the subordinates that Lias brought with her when she moved here. They all have a lazy aura in their temperament. This thing can actually be contagious...

"Asha, where is the black box here?" Jack asked the sweeper who was dozing off next to him.

The other party opened his eyes, scratched his head and said, "Hmm... I can't remember clearly, it seems like... Oh! The master's sword spirit came ten minutes ago and took it away!"

"what?!"

Ying Li's voice was filled with anger. You are all trying to trick me, right? If I don't get entangled with Lias, wouldn't this be a good opportunity to catch up?

Jack seemed to see what Ying Li was thinking and comforted him:

"Master, please don't blame us. It was the master's arrangement to test your progress over the past year. She must have her own reasons for taking Master's wife's soul away in advance."

Ying Li sighed: "Oh! Forget it, I'll go find her now, what's the fastest way to get there?"

Jack thought for a moment and said, "Take my private plane. I also want to ask you some details about "Ghosting".

Ying Li: "No time! Besides, if we take your plane, nothing will go wrong on the way, right?"

"Don't worry, Master. Our mission has been completed. Now we just need to send you to the Second Master's wife."

"Tsk..."

Ying Li was really afraid of them, fearing that one of the other "Seven Deadly Sins", such as "Pride" or "Anger", would pop up along the way and start a fight with him.

……

Chatting about all sorts of matters in the capital, they unknowingly arrived at their destination, which was an academy with unrivalled academic status and magnificent buildings - "Eternal Night Empire Capital College", also known as "Imperial Capital College".

This is the largest institution of higher learning in the entire demon world with the most departments. It is located in the north of Saint Catherine City, on the edge of the city center.

The front gate of the college is a city area with towering high-tech buildings, while the back gate and several other side gates are bordered by towering mountains and a lush primeval forest.

The entire college covers an area of ​​430 hectares. It is more like a city within a city than a school. The college has all kinds of functions just like a city. Every street has a name, and there are bus stops and shared bicycles everywhere.

It took about an hour to get to the south gate of the college by military vehicle, which was close to the front gate of the city. Ying Li came to the wide and tall school gate with curiosity, excitement and anticipation, staring at the majestic stone gate in front of him in amazement.

They walked towards the gate step by step. Above the huge archway were the characters "Eternal Night Empire Capital College" carved in thick and powerful fonts. Outside the gate were two huge stone pillars carved with lifelike murals. The two outsiders did not pay attention to the content.

Before stepping over the threshold, he discovered that there was an aisle inside the door from the front, which seemed to be advancing inward layer by layer. The door became smaller and smaller as he walked in. There were a large number of reliefs on the walls, which seemed to have a strong attraction for those who were about to walk through the door.

The stacked columns on both sides are no longer simple cylinders. Multiple columns combined together emphasize the vertical lines and further highlight the towering and steepness of the space.

The buildings in the college are characterized by towering spires, pointed arches, large windows and stained glass windows with stories. The design uses pointed ribbed vaults, flying buttresses and slender beams to create a light and slender sense of flying. The unique frame structure increases the strength of the top support, giving the entire building straight lines, a majestic appearance and a wide space inside the church, often combined with long windows inlaid with stained glass. The entire college is full of strong Gothic architectural style.

The barrel vaults of some important buildings are generally pointed rib vaults, with thrust acting on four arch base stones, so that the height and span of the vault are no longer restricted and can be built large and high. In addition, the pointed rib vault also has a visual suggestion of "upward".

Some buildings have flying buttresses, which are auxiliary facilities used to share the pressure of the main wall. The buttresses that were originally solid and covered by the roof are exposed to the outside to support the thrust from above and below the thrust point and improve the balance. There are also complex decorative carvings on them, which are light, beautiful, tall and steep.

This journey really opened his eyes. Such a university is extremely rare even in other developed regions of the world. This retro and artistic spire-style building is cleverly equipped with high-tech layout, which is a combination of modernization and antiquity, making it fully functional while retaining its original style.

"Master, how do you feel?"

Coming here, even Jack, who usually has a gloomy personality, became calm and generous, and actually took the initiative to ask Ying Li about his feelings with a smile.

Ying Li took a deep breath and calmed the surging emotions in his heart: "Very good, I am beginning to look forward to life here."
