I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 43: 043 Don’t be like this Chapter 43: 043 Don’t be like this The rain poured heavily outside the window.

“I know, your Sealing Master School is strong enough,” Chen Shuyun said with a solemn face as she looked at Lin An. She suddenly clasped her palms together, her arms crossed and raised horizontally in front of her chest.

Instantly, a terrifying force field emerged in the room.

Between her and Lin An, a vertical plane faintly appeared, splitting the room into two halves.

But these two halves were of the same essence, so it felt as if they were like two magnets of the same polarity repelling each other, and a force seemingly eager to bounce apart began to undulate faintly.

This witchcraft looked extremely terrifying.

When applied to spiritual vision, it was the slash of the giant scythe wielded by the wings of the Dark Gold Statue.

“But I’m not without room to resist!” Chen Shuyun’s voice had a unique softness, yet her tone was extremely determined, “Moreover, if you really fought me, the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order is currently searching the city for something—they obviously wouldn’t mind killing us along the way!”

“If you don’t release my sister, we will both perish together!”

Lin An’s eyes narrowed.

How does the saying go? When someone suspects you have some powerful weapon, it’s best that you do.

He didn’t have one, but that didn’t mean he had to plead pitifully for the other party to listen.

Chen Shuyun seemed to be in no state to listen at the moment.

The difficult years in the past had given Lin An an extremely tough character, allowing him to remain calm even when he had no leverage, and that’s how he could seek opportunities to solve the problem.

“Heh~”
He first let out a cold laugh, not letting his momentum be suppressed by the crazed witch, “Sealing Master School?”

Lin An slowly approached Chen Shuyun.

Chen Shuyun backed away with a grave expression.

Thump~
She was already standing in front of a window, and suddenly her back hit the windowsill, causing her whole body to shiver in fear.

Interestingly, the strange spatial visual effect of the Dark Gold Statue appeared.

This thing, which felt to be five meters in size, was completely visible in Lin An’s field of view, despite his room being less than three meters.

At first, there was space behind Chen Shuyun, but as she retreated to the windowsill, the Dark Gold Statue didn’t follow her out of the building but stayed still in the room.

Right beside…

Lin An.

He gently lifted his hand, reaching towards the Dark Gold Statue, within reach was something soft and warm.

His fingers moved, and he soon touched the red rope on the statue, and suddenly, the sensation of ‘a restless warmth wrapped in coolness’ was so clear.

The red rope twisted and convulsed as if it had a life of its own, gently rubbing against the palm of his hand as Lin An caressed it.

That feeling…

It was like an extension of his own body.

Or rather, the blood of the Dark Gold Statue from Chen Xinmi inside Lin An seemed to be one with the red rope, an extension of each other’s bodies.

Could he, perhaps, control these ropes?

Lin An tried to pull on the rope, and the rope that was already cutting into the statue’s dark gold flesh immediately tugged at the wound, strands of dark gold blood creeping along the red rope onto Lin An’s hand.

A stinging pain spread across his hand, but Lin An bit back and did not let go. He realized this might be the opportunity he was looking for!

In the real world, Chen Shuyun suddenly cried out in pain, clutching the area around her pelvis, and nearly lost her balance and fell over.

The spell she had been maintaining instantly collapsed and dissipated.

She couldn’t help but widen her eyes at Lin An, seeing him raise his hand as if conducting some action she’d never encountered before. Was this a casting technique she had never dealt with?

“You!”

“You’re indeed not a Wizard who’s just awakened!”

But Lin An merely looked at her calmly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

—”He’s putting on a facade, he’s putting on a facade!”

The White Snake roared angrily at Chen Shuyun, “Can the strong just bully the weak at will? He must be feeling proud, performing magic so effortlessly, so nonchalantly—he’s putting on a charade!”

—”Are you really going to let him bully you like this?”

“Ah~” Chen Shuyun suddenly clutched her shoulder again, feeling a convulsive pain throughout her body.

This was clearly Lin An tugging at the red strings on the dark gold statue again.

It seemed that the wizard had invoked the dark gold statue during the spellcasting, also being affected by the state of the dark gold statue?

Lin An, enduring the stinging pain that tinged from the dark gold statue, hurriedly searched among the tangled mess of red strings on the statue for the one that could manipulate his right hand.

Because when Chen Shuyun was casting spells, it seemed that the dark gold statue would always raise its right hand.

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about, are you crazy?” Lin An’s eyebrows knitted together, trying to stall for time by talking, so he could find the right end of those messy, tangled strings.

“You…”

“You!”

Chen Shuyun, her neck stiff, slowly stood up, enduring the pain of Lin An’s tugging at the strings and the wounds they manipulated, biting down hard not to let herself fall.

Sister!

All she wanted was to save her sister!

“I’ve explained it, why don’t you believe me?” Lin An looked at her earnestly, “The black cat portrait was painted by me, but I’m not some Seal Master, I haven’t sealed away your sister.”

Taking advantage of his passionate tone, he waved his hands and quickly rifled through the red strings tangled around the dark gold statue, looking for the end.

As he pulled on the strings, Chen Shuyun’s complexion grew more and more pale.

People say to think ten steps ahead, and the Chen Shuyun in front of him was a big problem, but her sister, Chen Xinmi, was clearly another big problem, and Lin An had to find himself a reasonable excuse in this moment.

“I admit, Chen Xinmi is very beautiful and captivating, and when I painted the black cat, I did occasionally think of her, perhaps with her in my mind, my brush strokes carried some of her charm.”

“But what I painted is a cat, not your sister!”

These words weren’t entirely ineffective, Chen Shuyun’s expression wavered, but that annoying white snake was babbling beside her again.

—”He’s lying to you!”

—”Just like how he lied to you about being the wizard you’ve awakened!”

—”Don’t you feel it? While he seems to be defending himself, he’s actually casting spells on you!”

—”Can’t you feel the pain all over your body right now?”

—”Maybe this is the witchcraft of a Seal Master!”

—”Chen Shuyun, wake up, stop being so weak, you need to become stronger! Look, look at this terrifying Dark Sorcerer with sealing skills, if you don’t do something soon, not only your sister but you will be sealed too!”

—”Look at your bracelet, your spellcasting medium is almost damaged from seeking your sister throughout the city and encountering the Witch-hunting Knights in battle!”

—”If you don’t act now, once your spellcasting medium is damaged, you’ll only have one choice left.”

The white snake roared furiously.

—”This Dark Sorcerer is too powerful, to save your sister, you must break free from her constraints and unleash your strongest power to save her!”

—”Even if it means reverting to a Sorcerer Zombie, even if it means turning into a monster, you must save your sister!”

—”Isn’t this what you truly desire deep down in your heart?”

—”Your sister was once so powerful, it was to suppress your regression that she became so frail, and that’s why she was sealed by this Dark Sorcerer!”

—”It’s your fault, you’ve caused your sister’s misery!”

—”It’s all your fault, break free from your restraints, and force this Dark Sorcerer to release your sister!”

Amidst these urgent roars, Chen Shuyun’s expression changed bit by bit.

Her eyes filled with a terrible ferocity again, she glared at Lin An furiously, “You…”

“Shut up!”

Lin An endured the white snake’s incessant noise just to find the right end of the string controlling the dark gold statue, and finally, finding it, he yanked it hard.

Chen Shuyun screamed angrily, her tone oddly close to that of the white snake’s, “Let go… Ah!”

With Lin An’s pull, she let out a sharp cry.

The cry was particularly strange, starting with a fierce and malevolent tone, then sliding upwards before making a swift descent, ending with a soft, whimpering trill.

Thump~
Chen Shuyun staggered and fell to her knees.

“!!!” Lin Aninternally exclaimed in amazement but put on a surprised expression, pretending to be startled, “Don’t do this, there’s really no need! I truly didn’t seal away your sister, you’ve misunderstood me!”
