Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 353: Brute Force

After getting Lin Xiaos response, Elena wept tears of joy and hugged him, unable to contain her excitement. She even almost wanted to jump up and give him a kiss.

But the next thing Lin Xiao said poured cold water on her.

No, I dont have a way.

What did you say? I didnt hear you? Elena couldnt believe her own ears and asked again.

I said, I dont have a way.

The two looked at each other in silence, cloaked in an awkward atmosphere with only Adeles screaming echoing behind them.

Are you serious? Elena still didnt believe it and thought that this pervert was just messing with her.

Sigh its the same no matter how many times you ask. I already told you before, I really dont have a way.

Y-you if you dont, why did you agree to help me? Is fooling me that interesting!?

She had wanted to kiss Lin Xiao earlier, but now she just wanted to bite him to death.

No, Im not fooling you. If I said Ill help, Ill definitely help.

Are you still treating me for an idiot? If you dont have a way to deal with the black magic, how are you going to help me?

Hehe, true, I cant get rid of the black magic but, I can find a way.

Find a way?

Thats right since its magic, then it can definitely be canceled.

Lin Xiao faintly smiled and even though his tone was as calm as usual, but Elena heard the dominance and resolution that could stop a thousand men.

Even if I dont know the way, but I can still save your aunt.

Lin Xiao, you

Elena stared at the youth before her and didnt know whether he was serious or he was still joking.

He clearly knew nothing about black magic and was already at a loss and was prepared to retreat but because of her willful begging, he actually was willing to do something that was nearly impossible.

If its magic, then it can be canceled, such a simple logic to Elenas ears eclipsed a thousand words.

That feeling was so profound, it was like the instant Lin Xiao promised her, she unconditionally believed him. It was like as long as he wasnt joking and was seriously promising, then no matter how ridiculous and impossible it was, he could easily do it.

That harmless smile and his tone that was as calm as water this man who passed his days lazily, even now, Elena couldnt see any emotion from his face no, rather than that, there was never anything that he faced that made him nervous, so he could still use his lazy attitude to resolve everything.

Perhaps compared to him, she was indeed lacking in experience, since she fell into turmoil even though nothing had happened yet But if you were to say what she could do to compensate for her lack of experience, then setting her dignity aside and begging Lin Xiao for help would be the smartest choice.

If its magic, then the source is magic power, the reason there are so many different types of magic is because of all the different transformations and combinations applied. Even though there were a numerous amount, but there were fixed steps that they all followed, as long as they could get a grasp of the core of it then they could find how the magic was composed and then dispel it!

Lin Xiao recalled the knowledge he learned and quickly thought of a plan.

There were two things that he had to do

First, he had to control Adele and couldnt let her lose control. At the same time, he had to keep his power in check and couldnt harm her life.

Secondly, while keeping Adele under control, he had to think of a way to get rid of the black magic in her body, that was the only way to solve the problem.

The first thing wasnt hard, the only problem was the second thing.

Lin Xiao had never read anything regarding black magic, he didnt even know what kind of black magic she was affected with let alone being able to get rid of it.

Sigh, it would have been nice if Snow was here

Lin Xiao couldnt help but think of that little brat.

Snow was a weird girl, she looked pure and innocent but was pitch-black on the inside, coincidentally, her personality was very compatible with black magic, and she herself was also interested in it. So she was proficient in various black magics at a young age, especially magic that controlled ones mind. What Adele was affected by seemed to be of that type, so if Snow was here, she would be able to find a way really easily.

But now

Hmph, I just dont believe that I can even deal with unorthodox black magic without that little girl!? For some reason, Lin Xiao was angered by someone that wasnt even there.

Wasnt Snow just a little brat, whats so great about her? Lin Xiao didnt believe it, when Snow first left him behind and called him trash, that he really became trash and wasnt able to do anything!

Today, he was going to prove himself for Snow to see!

Snow couldnt see though in various senses of the word.

Elena, I have a plan!

What is it?

I need you to listen to all of my directions, it might be a little troublesome but, I hope that you can cooperate with me.

No problem!

In order to save her thirteenth aunt, a little trouble was nothing to her.

Good if Im not wrong, shes probably affected by the branch of black magic that affects the mind. Itll affect their mental state and recognition, so thats why she kept on attacking us like crazy.

Un. Elena nodded and remembered everything Lin Xiao was saying.

I dont know how its cast, but I vaguely remember that people who are affected by mental magic have a specific magic circle left on them that can continue to mess with their mental state and suck their magic power to maintain it since your aunt doesnt have magic power, then itll take her vitality. So those wounds she has been probably left behind from having her vitality drained.

What a vicious magic Elena clenched her fist and cursed the one who made her aunt like this, So Lin Xiao, are you saying that we just have to find the circle and destroy it?

Thats the idea but the key lies in how to destroy it.

How else, cant we just break it? Elena naively asked, Since you have so much magic power, cant you just directly use it to get rid of it?

Cough thats easy to say. Lin Xiao almost choked on her ignorance.

Even if he didnt know how to get rid of it, there were two basic principles that he knew

First, that crucial circle is definitely hidden in a concealed place so that it isnt easily destroyed.

Second, if someone who doesnt know black magic rashly destroyed the circle with external forces, then the victim would definitely receive severe mental trauma. They would go crazy in less severe cases, and in more severe cases they would lose their memory and become the living dead with no soul.

Anyways, we have to find the circle first and then find a way to break it.

Okay, Ill listen to you so, how do we find it?

With your perception skill.

It would be too difficult for Lin Xiao to find it, especially since Adele couldnt hold on for much longer, so he had to use Elenas power.

He quickly told Elena about the plan, even if he got a strange look, Lin Xiao had no choice but to use the dumbest and most brute force method.

Elena silently nodded after she heard the plan, and thus the dumb plan started!

First, he had to make Adele settle down.

Judgment light change!

A large amount of magic power was channeled into the barrier, all the chains shook and let out a sharp buzzing and dispersed the corrosion leaving clouds of black mist in the air.

The thirteen humanoid shadows pulled the chains they were holding tight, not giving the enemy a single inch!

Elena!

Yep!

With just a single glance and a call out, Elena immediately understood as she ran towards Adele.

When Lin Xiao saw her get into position, he took a deep breath and concentrated. He bit open his finger and smeared his blood over the back of his right hand.

The invisible and large amount of magic power quickly flowed and filled the entire cave.

Lin Xiao didnt hide it anymore and brought out his skills.

Multicast chain lightning arrows!

Multiple milky white circles appeared in midair and folded on top of one another like the vast milky way.

Fifth-level magic chain lightning? Its not too strong but has a paralysis effect, along with multicast thats probably the best way to deal with the current situation!

Elena understood that the lightning arrows will fall in a moment and with Lin Xiaos precise control, it will nail her down to the floor so that she couldnt move.

It was up to her now

Elena took two steps forward and stood next to Adele. She ignored the lightning arrows above her and slowly closed her eyes.

They will soon get the answer to whether Lin Xiaos dumb idea works or not.
