Chapter 442 Second profession
Chapter 442 Second profession
Lathel was startled when he heard the phrase 'past life'.
To others, that phrase seems very distant and obscure. But for Lathel, that phrase is very close to home.
It must be known that he was reincarnated twice. The first time was when he needed to fix a bug for the god Dandite.
This was his second time.
Even though he doesn't have any memories of the world where he fixed Dandite's bug, he still remembered that he had reincarnated twice.
'Could it be... Arine is someone I knew when I was still living on Earth?'
'No way, when I was living on Earth, I remember that I was only faithful to my wife and didn't know any other girls.'
'Is she my female secretary? It can't be; Arine's personality is completely different from hers.'
'Who is she anyway?'
'Wait! Could it be... she's a heroine from the world where I fixed the bug?'
'No, that's impossible.'
Lathel shook his head, immediately ruling out that possibility. It must be known that... in that world, every female protagonist has a male protagonist waiting for them.
His mission was just to fix bugs, which means helping the female protagonists become 'normal'.
To be more precise, he helped the female protagonists solve problems that made their personalities strange.
Although Lathel didn't clearly remember how that process happened, he couldn't believe that a female protagonist from that world followed him to this world.
He frowned, staring at Arine, not knowing what to say. Arine just smiled. She gently let go of him and stepped back.
Lathel had many guesses in his heart, but he felt that none of them were correct.
"However…" The Demon Lord suddenly spoke: "It makes no sense for you to decide."
"What?!" Ikarys frowned. He wanted to say something, but the Demon Lord spoke, interrupting his words.
"It will be more interesting if I choose someone you call trash to make a choice that will determine your lives."
"Hahahaha… How interesting… What would someone you call trash do? Will he sacrifice himself for others, or will he save himself?
"You…" Ikarys gritted his teeth, feeling extremely desperate: "No, I don't want to die."
"Be quiet, Holy Son." Arine glanced at Ikarys with contempt : "If Lathel chooses to sacrifice himself, I will not let you live."
"You…" Ikarys pointed at Arine and shouted angrily: "You are crazy; you are all crazy. For the sake of a trash person, you will sacrifice your lives."
"Crazy… a bunch of crazies, hahahahaha…"
"Demon Lord, I and this group of people have nothing to do with each other. I want to live; give me any condition, and I will do it."
"Even if I can't do it now, I will try to do it in the future."
"Hm… then…" The Demon Lord pondered.
Ikarys was happy to see this because the Demon Lord had begun to think about his opinion.
"So…" The Demon Lord suddenly said: "Let's kill those two girls."
Arine: "??!!"
Dorothy frowned at the Demon Lord, then looked back at Ikarys.
Ikarys didn't seem to hesitate at all. He immediately took out a long yellow spear from his space bag, then rushed towards Arine.
The tip of the spear seemed to want to tear apart space as it rushed towards Arine.
Arine frowned; she then clasped her hands as if about to do something. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
For a long time... she thought about that back and that face. Even in her dreams, she dreamed of this scenario—the scenario of Lathel protecting her.
Lathel really didn't want to take action; however, he didn't want to watch Ikarys kill Arine.
This was because she seemed to be related to his 'past life'. If she was his relative and she was killed in front of him, he would be extremely regretful.
Besides, in Lathel's heart, confronting Ikarys is something that will definitely happen sooner or later.
That's why Lathel didn't think much and immediately saved Arine.
Bang!
The spear tip collided with a cauldron. The strange thing was that the spear tip could not pierce Lathel's cauldron; it couldn't even scratch the cauldron.
Ikarys was startled and retreated.
"You…" Ikarys frowned: "Get away… Lathel. If you stop me, I will kill you too."
"Ah! Do you think I'm stupid? Lathel shrugged and said: "Am I going to trust you to let me go?"
"Ikarys, there is no one here who is stupid. Your plans and thoughts are all shown on your face."
Ikarys frowned. He did not refute but used both hands to hold the long spear.
The spear emitted a dazzling golden light. Then, a horse-like creature covered in metal armour the same colour as the long spear appeared.
His clothes also disappeared, replaced by yellow armour with white patterns radiating an aura.
Ikarys sat on the horse; he held his spear like a knight of light coming from the sky, filled with divinity.
"Lathel!" Arine then shouted: "Go back; I will protect you."
Seeing Arine's small, skinny figure, which was full of determination, standing in front of him. Lathel believed that she really knew him from his 'Previous life'.
Lathel sighed and said: "Don't worry, I will defeat him."
"No!" Arine hastily said: "You cannot defeat him, Lathel. This is his special class, The Sky Knight."
"It is a rank-A job; also, thanks to this job, he can borrow the power of faith from gods to defeat enemies."
"Only I can face him."
"The power of belief." Lathel was a bit surprised when he heard of that kind of power.
"I don't have time to explain to you." Arine said: "Quickly respond to the Demon Lord, sacrifice me and everyone, then strengthen the Demon Lord's seal."
"But you will die." Lathel continued. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Arine glanced at Lathel, smiled, and said: "As long as you continue to live, I accept death."
Lathel was startled; a few familiar memories suddenly appeared in his mind, but they were also a bit strange.
It was a girl quite similar to Arine; she sat next to him and sang a certain song.
He told her that the song was difficult to listen to, and that she had no singing talent.
The girl was angry and scolded him for being an idiot. Not only that, the girl also scolded him like a cockroach; it seemed like she had turned into a completely different person.
However, Lathel was not angry at that time; he just smiled and said: "Do you want me to write you a song?"
That girl despised him and used the most evil and dirty words to scold him. But he didn't care; he just slowly took out a notebook and started writing something on a blank page.
The girl felt strange seeing that and sat down next to him, intently looking at what he wrote.
The lyrics he wrote surprised her, but what surprised her more was when he guided her to sing.
A great song came out of it.
The girl wanted to buy the song from him, but he just shook his head, tore up the paper with the lyrics written on it, and gave it to her.
"You can find a good composer to arrange this song for you. This is my meeting gift for you."
After saying that, he left, and from then on, a void appeared in her heart that could never be filled.
"Ack!" Lathel held his head; he felt like someone had just used a big hammer to hit his head.
Arine saw Lathel holding his head and looked at him worriedly; however, Ikarys took this opportunity.
The horse he was riding immediately rushed towards Arine. Ikarys held the long spear tightly; the tip pointed straight towards her throat.
Arine glanced at Ikarys and angrily shouted: "You dog! Do you think you can kill me?"
She swung her hand, and a giant centipede shot out from her sleeve, instantly wrapping around the long spear.
Its speed was as fast as the wind. In just a blink of an eye, the giant centipede crawled along the long spear that Ikarys was holding, then wrapped itself around his neck.
"What?!" Ikarys was startled; he didn't think Arine could still use a centipede to attack him.
"Are… Are you a devil?"
"Guess…" Arine replied, her face suddenly showing a fierce smile.
This was the first time Ikarys had seen Arine make such a face for the first time: "No, you are not the Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden cannot use this evil magic; you are a devil."
"Huh!" Arine said contemptuously: "Fool! If you have a second job, others will also have a second job. Do you think I'm a fool like you, always bragging about my second job?"
"You… ack!" Ikarys was about to say something when the giant centipede wrapped itself tightly around his neck, suffocating him.
The centipede's mouth reached the nape of his neck. As long as Arine wants, the centipede will immediately bite the back of his neck, injecting deadly venom into his body.
Ikarys frowned, feeling extremely angry and annoyed. In fact, his profession, 'Sky Knight', is extremely strong; in combat, he is almost invincible.
However, Ikarys underestimated Arine. He thought that Arine was just an ordinary magician or priest, so he was easily fooled by her.
"Arine, do you think this centipede can lock me up?" Ikarys said fiercely.
Arine shrugged: "Guess…"
"Huh! You should remember, I can borrow the power of God; you... cannot defeat me with the power of the devil." Ikarys shouted.
Immediately afterwards, his body emitted an extremely divine aura.
From within that aura, people could hear the singing of angels from heaven.
However... A moment later, the aura disappeared, but the centipede was still tightly wrapped around his neck.
"What?!"
