The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies

Chapter 483: The Spirit of Magic

When Seraph and Lucifer arrived at the girl’s residence, Adele’s meditation had reached a critical moment. Logically, she shouldn’t be disturbed at this time, so meditators would usually set up a magic barrier or shield.

But Adele didn’t do this. The girl unconditionally trusted the people who knew she was here. More importantly, she believed Seraph would protect her in places she couldn’t see. This was the tacit understanding they had developed after spending so much time together.

Seraph looked up at the building, her heart softening at the thought of the girl inside. Lucifer glanced at her, her expression a bit complicated. Perhaps because... it was very similar.

Seraph’s current state was very similar to her past self, and them, when facing that person... The past seemed to be gone with the wind, but the longing for that person became even deeper. It was just that Lucifer, and the other fallen angels, had hidden this longing in the depths of their souls, never mentioning it for years, but it didn’t mean it didn’t exist.

“Please come with me,” Seraph greeted, and with a short-distance spatial movement, she appeared on the balcony of Adele’s bedroom. In the moonlit sky behind her, there were faint ripples like water droplets. These spatial ripples would soon be repaired and disappear by the world. Unless it was a spatial black hole formed by breaking through the barrier between worlds, the world’s repair ability was far beyond your imagination.

It was worth mentioning that in this country represented by the Eastern Capital, there had been the legend of Nuwa mending the sky since ancient times. In the secular world without magic, people regarded it as a myth. But in the extraordinary world where ability users and mages existed, later generations came to a conclusion:

That so-called Nuwa mending the sky... was very likely an extraordinary being from ancient times who mended the black hole caused by some supreme being using spatial travel, and this was seen by the ancestors, which gradually formed the legend of Nuwa mending the sky.

Of course, this was currently only at the stage of conjecture, after all, no one had really lived in that ancient era.

Lucifer came to Seraph’s side and followed her gaze to look at the girl meditating in the room. Was it her... the woman Seraph fell in love with and fell for?

If you talked about beauty, she was indeed beautiful. Petite figure, cute face. And that unguarded posture was also pitiful. How did Seraph usually... bully her? Lucifer suddenly became curious.

Although she was an angel, since she had fallen a long time ago, it meant that she was very familiar with that kind of thing between humans. It was indeed the case. They indulged freely in the ideal country of Sodom they created... But it wasn’t promiscuity!

Lucifer, and the other fallen angels, were only loyal to Shirley, who had almost infinite physical and magical power. Speaking of Shirley, her figure had to be said to be very similar to the girl in front of her, so it was especially surprising why such boundless desire and longing were hidden in her petite body, and she had the infinite physical strength to turn that desire into reality.

As for facial features, beautiful people were always similar. Therefore, it could be said that Adele and Shirley looked very much alike. The only differences were hair color and pupils.

Shirley had stunningly beautiful silver hair that seemed to be woven from moonlight. Any silver, white, or snow color paled in comparison to her hair. Adele, on the other hand, had jet-black hair, soft and well-behaved, long and straight.

Shirley’s pupils were shaped like a magnificent golden cross. This cross had already shattered when she fought against the Lord of Heaven. It was better to say that Shirley herself was also shattered. She ascended to godhood at a great cost, tearing off all the shackles imposed on her by the Lord of Heaven, on her body and deep in her soul.

She had had enough of those rules and regulations! As for the final result... even Lucifer, as the strongest among angels, wasn’t qualified to witness it. But later, the Lord of Heaven was still radiant, while Shirley’s whereabouts were unknown.

The fallen angels were saved by Hell Queen Jormungandr and fled to hell. As for why Lucifer suddenly remembered Shirley’s pupils and compared them with Adele’s, it was because the girl, sensing the presence of the two angels, had already returned to reality from her meditation and opened her soft, cherry-colored eyes.

Adele’s pupils constricted. She wasn’t surprised by Seraph’s appearance, but who could tell her... who that silver-haired beauty in battle-damaged attire was!

Seraph slid the transparent glass door on the balcony to the right and stepped in first. “Adele, let me introduce you.”

“This... is the former leader of the fallen angels. Her name is Lucifer.”

“Although I couldn’t find Chacoco, maybe she can answer your questions.”

Lucifer still looked aloof. She nodded. “I am Lucifer.”

“...”

This was really an unexpected “surprise.” Adele’s mouth twitched, and she immediately greeted politely, “H-Hello, I’m Adele.”

“Were you, modifying your magic circuits just now?”

“Eh, you could tell!?” Adele was a little surprised, and the level of power of the fallen angel Lucifer in her eyes instantly rose by more than one level.

Seraph was not good at fighting... This was something Adele understood later. Because everything Adele faced in the early stage was too trivial, there was no need for high-level combat power to intervene. So Seraph’s performance alone was enough to protect and support Adele to do anything she wanted to do at that time.

Later, as Adele became stronger, Seraph’s “strength” returned to its proper place. Then, Lucifer, as the leader of the fallen angels, must be a combat-type angel.

Since that was the case, her strength was conceivable. Maybe... at Headmistress Winona’s level, or even higher, approaching Elf True Ancestor Lislotte!?

Seraph’s trip really brought back an incredible person... “Then may I ask, Miss Lucifer, do you have any guidance on this?”

Adele stood up from her seat, walked into the bright moonlight, and faced Seraph and Lucifer. She saw the concern and hesitation in Lucifer’s eyes.

“Guidance...” Lucifer murmured. Of course, she understood the meaning of this word. The learning ability of fallen angels was very strong. She had completely understood... at least most of the things about this era and this world.

“I don’t know who created the current magic system.”

“It was just that the first time I came into contact with a systematic magic, it was displayed in front of us excitedly by her.”

“She really wanted to change the rules of this world and made almost every attempt to do so.”

“Modifying innate magic circuits was one of her boldest attempts.”

“Fortunately, she finally succeeded.”

This “she”... should be the legendary Primordial Witch Shirley, right? The “filial” daughter of the Lord of Heaven.

“How did she do it?” Adele asked curiously. She was currently in a bottleneck, realizing that magic circuits were the Tao.

But the Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. It was still far from the Tao she really wanted to interpret. Or perhaps the realm she wanted to pursue was destined to be something that could only be understood and not expressed in words.

Lucifer gently shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“Eh...” What a letdown.

But Lucifer then added, “Because she can’t say it.”

“She was the kind of generous person who was willing to share anything and everything with the people close to her.”

“Only this, was something she couldn’t do even if she wanted to share it.”

Adele was speechless. Wasn’t this the “The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao” that she had just realized! It meant that “the Tao that can be explained clearly in the world cannot be called the eternal Tao.”

It sounded a bit mysterious, but the path to becoming the strongest should be like this. Adele was a little happy on the one hand, realizing that she seemed to really have the appearance of a “Chosen Girl,” and was actually able to comprehend to this extent.

Although there was the help of the philosopher Lao Tzu in this process, it was undeniable that Adele’s comprehension was still much higher than most people, approaching that of the amazing Primordial Witch Shirley in the mythical era.

On the other hand, she also felt a little pity because having comprehension and truly comprehending were two different things. Zero and one. Only by overcoming the difference between them could the qualitative change from nothing to something be realized. Otherwise, it was all empty talk.

Ah, this wasn’t saying that Adele was zero! She was definitely one, a true one! If you don’t believe it, ask Seraph!

“It’s a pity...” Adele muttered, but she quickly recovered her mood.

“Forget it, it’s not too late to comprehend later. Let’s talk about Sodom!”

“I think, Miss Lucifer, you should have already learned about my confusion from Seraph, right?”

Lucifer nodded and walked in from the balcony of the girl’s bedroom. The closer she got to Adele, the clearer her battle-damaged attire became.

Hiss... That fair and snowy skin, that ample shape, and... Ahem! Adele blushed and then forced herself to look away. Don’t look at what shouldn’t be seen!

And it was in front of Seraph. She didn’t want to be seen by Seraph as someone who only had lewd thoughts! She was now restraining herself, all her love was given to the girls she liked, and there was no room for other women to intervene.

Moreover, what was Lucifer’s current state? Single? No, right? Married? That wasn’t right either. Then wasn’t she... a widow?? It seemed to be true.

Because of the fall of Primordial Witch Shirley, the ones who still existed in this world in her harem weren’t they “widows”? Adele couldn’t do such a thing as coveting a widow!

Lucifer didn’t care about Adele’s gaze, she only cared about the city in Adele’s dream. “If possible, could you please draw the scene in your dream? I might be able to discern something from it.”

Adele nodded with some guilt. “I’ll try.” The girl didn’t have any confidence in her drawing skills.

She rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found the watercolor pens and various paints that First Snow and Xiao Ai usually used for drawing games, then began to draw on the white paper.

A huge city, houses of different heights, the palace in the center, and the walls made of unknown stones...

The process was smooth, but the final product was...

“...” Lucifer and Seraph looked at the final painting ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) and fell silent.

“I-I call this modernization! Abstract art, you know!” Adele argued for herself.

“Otherwise, let’s do this, Adele.”

“You use magic to control the watercolor paints, then recall the scene in your dream.”

“Trust your own magic, it might give you a satisfactory answer.”

“This is a method of using magic that we used to call ‘spirit’.”

“We believe that magic is a life, and it may also have its own... spirit.” Lucifer patiently taught the girl.

“...Spirit?” Adele was lost in thought. Although she wanted to say that according to the scientific explanation, it was actually the subconscious mind at work, but the next moment, she bit her lip.

“Then I’ll try!” Saying that, Adele let her magic power attach to the colored paint. This step went very smoothly.

Countless colorful dust particles floated up, not from Adele’s will, but just the magic freely flying and then combining. At the same time, Adele put aside all other distracting thoughts, and focused all her mind and attention on recalling the scene in her dream.

When she came back to her senses, in front of Adele and the two fallen angels, the colorful dust had formed a vivid picture.
