Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 336: Praise and Criticism

Chapter 336: Praise and Criticism

Ah!

Along with an intense rumbling, the ground below their feet started to tremble slightly. Lin Xiaos body shook and he lost his balance and thanks to ShenDai Ying supporting his arms he didnt fall over.

It was strange, she was wearing high-heels yet it was like she wasnt affected at all. A certain maid also wanted to help him, but because she couldnt stand still either she was too slow to help him and was beaten by someone else.

The tremors didnt last long, soon it was followed with an even higher rumbling and six large circles appeared on the ground that shone a peculiar yellow. In the next instant, six sharp rocks jut out from the circles, with each being as thick as one person, and shooting quickly high into the sky.

Everything happened so quickly, in a blink of an eye, a rock prison appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone. Six thick rock pillars were spread out to form a hexagon with each sharp end pointing towards the center and forming a pyramid-like structure.

As expected of an outstanding earth magician, that magic is specially used to attack large demonic beasts. The six sharp rocks could easily pierce through the underside of large beasts. If it was a smaller one, then they would be trapped and unable to escape With his precise control, none of the pillars collided and they nimbly interweaved to amplify its piercing power, impressive! Lin Xiao nodded as he watched what happened in front of him and praised it.

Is that so

Abra was listening next to him and felt awkward.

Lin Xiao was just a brat, so how could he have such accurate insights.

Not only did he know sixth-level magic like the back of his hand he was also familiar with the intricacies of Archers casting. This shouldnt be the knowledge and insight that a fifth-level magician would have.

Some doubts flashed by but Abra didnt think too much of it and focused on what was happening.

Archers demonstration was already finishing and that magic was exactly as Lin Xiao said. It was destructive magic that was specially made to deal with large scale demonic beasts. It was difficult magic that required precise control, if there was any deviation, the rock pillars would collide into each other before piercing the demonic beast.

Can that girl imitate such difficult magic just by seeing it once?

Through his observations Abra already noticed that Lin Xiao wasnt normal, he had his suspicions. The good thing was that it didnt last long because Yao Zi already used actions to prove her strength!

Sixth-level simple dodge

Who knows when she started, but Yao Zis eyes were already pure white. She extended her arms forward and opened her hands like she was going to grab at empty air while also muttering something.

Sixth level is too simple, so you want me to quickly dodge?

Archer who was the closest could make out what she was saying, he held his staff and stared at her with disdain trying to see what she could do.

Hurry

Yao Zi was gathering the invisible magic power within the air, because it was so concentrated her voice started to sound ethereal, but Abra and the others couldnt see the magic power, so they werent aware of the severity of the warning at all.

For what? The chant or the circle, you have to start at least one of them before that, right?

Its dangerous avoid it sorry

The warning was ineffective and Yao Zi didnt wait anymore, she grasped in midair and gently pulled.

A gust of wind blew by no, it wasnt actually wind, but the magic in the air being sucked dry.

Watch out

After the last warning, Yao Zi didnt hesitate anymore and extended one finger from her clenched fist and pointed at Archer.

What?

Before Archer could react, he suddenly noticed six lights shining from beside him and he cried out in alarm.

He had originally thought that since Yao Zi hadnt started the chant or the circle, there was still some time before she was done.

Pierce!

Before he could take a step, the girls voice could be heard and there was suddenly an intense trembling. Six thick pillars jutted out of nowhere and shot upwards.

It was familiar magic, yet it was different from what Archer just cast.

It was the same sixth pillar, but each one this time was twice as thick. The color was also darker, unlike the pale yellow rock color, it was more silver. Any knowledgeable magician could tell that was the result of pure magic power. It was far harder than Archers that had impurities mixed in.

What was scarier followed after

Along with a piercing sound, the thick pillars shot up while one of them passed through the rock formation that Archer made. It was just one, but it easily tore through all six of his pillars without losing any momentum.

No one expected Yao Zi to actually succeed!

No one even had time to be surprised as they all started at that clumsy-looking girl with their mouths wide open.

Unlike everyones shock, Archer was terrified because he was currently trapped right in the middle!

If he raised his head, he could see the thick pillars interweaving and the sharp points of the rocks. He nervously gulped and didnt dare move.

Although his magic was used for large-scale demonic beasts and a small human wouldnt be pierced, but as you watch those pillars entrap you, that overbearing pressure weighs down on you and it felt like he was about to die.

A sturdy dark silver rock pillar that even the sixth-level demonic beast with the strongest defense cannot withstand, the giant rock turtles shell would be instantly pierced. Yao Zi, your imitation was very successful, but

Unlike the praise from earlier, after Yao Zi successfully cast her magic, Lin Xiao shook his head regrettably instead. His actions confused Abra. Abra didnt understand, Yao Zi clearly proved herself and showed that he magic power was stronger and purer than Archers and shook everyone, so why was he not satisfied?

S-sorry! A-are you okay?

When she was done casting, Yao Zis eyes went back to normal, and could finally see everything in front of her.

I, I

As he saw the girl running towards him, he shivered and unconsciously moved backward and almost fell, but still couldnt avoid Yao Zis attack.

Yao Zi grabbed Archers arm and apologized with a guilty expression.

Sorry, I-I didnt mean to scare you. It was just because the road was too narrow and I didnt want to destroy the surrounding houses, so I could only cast it in the most spacious place, and you happened to be there, and you didnt move even though I told you to, so I could only

Yao Zi nervously looked him up and down and only calmed down after she was sure that he wasnt hurt.

Archer didnt even feel like complaining anymore, when he remembered how Yao Zi cast her magic, he couldnt help but sigh.

As expected of the one in a million wizards bloodline.

No circles or chanting, and with just one look she could perfectly imitate him, or rather even exceed the original.

Yao Zi was still just a 16yearold girl. As a 40 year old man, he couldnt even compare to her power.

Archer wasnt jealous at her strength, he was rather open-minded that was because she completely destroyed his confidence, how could he even begin to compare himself?

Yao Zi.. shouldnt you dispel your magic

Archer couldnt even raise his voice and just held his staff as he weekly pointed to the stone pillars.

Dispel? Oh, sorry.. Ill do it right now!

Yao Zi was too focused on apologizing and forgot to dispel her magic as the thick pillars were still suspended in midair. She quickly stretched out a hand and pulled like she was untying a knot. The six pillars crumbled into dust right on top of them.

Ah!

A magician being squashed by their own magic, how clumsy can she get.

The magic was dispelled and the dirt poured down with both of them in the center and buried them, thanks to some of the more zealous watchers that dug them out, they werent buried alive.

She could only cast in front of her because she didnt want to destroy the building?

Abra never expected her to have those kinds of thoughts, even though she possessed such great strength, she had no arrogance and was kind-hearted, truly admirable.

So what is Lin Xiao unsatisfied with?

Yao Zi, get over here!

At that time, Lin Xiao suddenly shouted and answered Abras doubts with action.

Lin Xiao, i-is there anything wrong? Yao Zi weakly ran over like a kid that did something wrong.

Yao Zi, let me ask you something do you not know how to consciously use your mind to control magic?

Lin Xiao squinted and sternly asked.
