Big Capitalist

Just as Ed was about to respond and praise Konan, there was a sudden, earth-shaking noise that made the ground tremble and tiles fell from the houses on the street.

Then, near them, a blinding light rushed up into the sky along with a strong airflow. Ed and Conan looked up in astonishment, watching Otto and Selene rushing up into the air from the ground.

At that moment, Ed felt an invisible pressure coming towards him. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His whole body was cold and paralyzed, unable to move.

He knew in his heart that this was an absolute crushing of the biological level. The aura coming from a strong man made him, a fledgling first-year student, feel awe.

After a long while, when the pressure had dissipated a little, Ed came to his senses and found that his body had regained consciousness.

And at this critical moment, a burst of urgent cries for help reached their ears.

Ed turned his head quickly and saw a ragged woman holding a little girl, stumbling and running from the other side of the street. The woman's face was full of fear, her eyes were full of despair, and her steps were staggering. It was obvious that she had reached the limit of her physical strength.

Above her head, due to the aftermath of the fierce battle between the mentor and the demon in the air, a huge bell tower was shaking, the dome was shattered, and large pieces of bricks and stones were wrapped in dust, like a mountain pressing down on the women and girls.

When Ed saw this scene, his mind went blank and he was extremely anxious.

He thought quickly in his mind: What should I do to save them? The distance was too far at the moment, and at his usual speed, he would not be able to get there in time.

No, I will definitely catch up!

Almost in the instant that the thought flashed through his mind, Ed relied on his instinct and without hesitation deployed his simple domain.

At first, the circular field slowly opened, emitting a soft light, but this was not the form that Ed needed at the moment.

At this critical moment, he concentrated his mind and controlled it with all his strength, and miraculously changed the shape of the field, with the circle quickly stretching into a straight line.

Although the scope of the field was greatly reduced, its length increased exponentially and instantly extended to the woman and girl.

At this moment, Ed moved, his body flashing with golden light, as if bathed in the morning sun, and instantly bursting out at the speed of light. His figure flashed, almost in a flash, and appeared next to the woman and the girl.

What should I do next? Ed came closer and looked at the rapidly falling ruins of the bell tower, feeling extremely anxious.

He wanted to use the "Flash" skill to escape from here again, but was shocked to find that the straight line field he had just established collapsed and turned into tiny points of light that dissipated in the air.

As expected, temporarily changing and forcibly using the domain is too much of a stretch!

Ed pondered in his heart, but he had no time to think too much at this moment. He gritted his teeth, quickly raised his hands above his head, muttered something, and released the shield of light with all his strength, ready to withstand the impending disaster.

"you idiot!"

"Idiot! How can you possibly stop this?!"

Two shouts were like sharp swords, instantly piercing the tense air and appearing on Ed's left and right.

Immediately afterwards, Ed was surprised to see two familiar figures suddenly appear in front of him as if they had descended from the sky.

As Ed's rival and eternal opponent (self-proclaimed), Carlisle has an agile figure and eyes as sharp as an eagle.

In an instant, he unfolded his simple domain without hesitation.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by a mysterious force, and leaves were flying. These leaves seemed to be given life, quickly deforming, and gradually turning into green magic blades, flashing a cold light in the dim light, ready to go.

On the other side, Angelica held a staff, her posture upright, her fiery red hair fluttering in the wind like a burning flame.

At this moment, she also quickly unfolded her own simple field. The flames were like surging tides, quickly gathering at the top of her staff to form a blazing fireball, emitting a breath of destruction.

Angelica's eyes were determined as she fiercely attacked the ruins of the fallen bell tower, shouting, "Go!"

The fireball was like a falling meteor, with a whistling sound, and collided with the ruins of the fallen bell tower.

With a loud "bang", flames shot up into the sky. The flames released by Angelica were like an angry beast, instantly exploding the ruins of the fallen bell tower. Large pieces of bricks and stones were blown to pieces, turning into fragments all over the sky.

Before the fragments scattered, Carlisle snorted coldly, waved his hands, and controlled the magic blades transformed from leaves. These magic blades spun rapidly, faster and faster, as if forming a green storm.

The storm roared and crushed the remaining fragments. The brick and stone fragments collided and rubbed against each other in the storm, making a sharp whistling sound, and finally turned into fine powder and dissipated in the air.

Ed looked at the two people who appeared in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he shouted happily: "Carlisle, Angelica!"

Carlisle glanced at Ed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of arrogance, he snorted, pointed his finger at him and said: "Ed, my only rival, you'd better not die here! We haven't decided the winner yet!"

Angelica shook her fiery red hair in a cool manner, turned her head away, and looked at Ed with squinted eyes, as if she was looking at a disobedient child, and scolded: "Humph, you just like to show off!"

Then, Angelica bent down, gently tapped Ed who was squatting on the ground, and said earnestly: "Before protecting others, you should also protect yourself! Idiot!"

"Angelica, you run too fast!" Belinda trotted over holding her staff. Her little face turned red from running and beads of sweat hung on her forehead.

Belinda was very afraid of mice. If she hadn't been following Angelica closely, she would have fainted from fear.

"Why are you here?" Ed asked with some confusion.

"Belinda and I followed the third-year seniors to sweep the nearby neighborhoods, but we encountered a rat tide and were separated." Angelica looked around vigilantly.

"Just a coincidence." Carlisle snorted, crossing his arms.

But in fact, Carlisle had been following behind Ed, competing with him secretly, and calculating who killed more plague rats. This guy's competition with Ed had become a little crazy.
