My Archangel

After hearing these words, Qiao Wen scratched his cheek a little, and then refocused almost all of his attention... on the "shield" that seemed to be constantly burning.

The heart calmed down slowly.

For some reason, this time, when the pulsating golden flames on the shield surface were reflected in his dark eyes, Qiao Wen's ears faintly heard a voice.

A very gentle voice that seemed to be inviting him to touch.

'... Then come on.'

The next moment, after flashing the faces of several acquaintances in his mind for a short while, Qiao Wen's hand was already firmly pressed on the surface of the Holy Shield.

Chi Chi, Chi Chi——!

At this moment, the very gentle flames that were originally wrapped around the surface of the shield... suddenly all started to jump!

A wave of violent heat spread from the shield surface, and the flames grew rapidly, and in a blink of an eye they became a series of constantly twisting fire snakes, as if they had discovered some kind of strange prey, they followed Qiao Wen with extreme excitement His arms wrapped around and quickly spread to his whole body——

"I said, Master Shengzi...?? How do you feel that these torch flames you said... don't seem to be very friendly to me??

Feeling the sensation of scalding everywhere on his body, Qiao Wen's eyes jumped slightly, a flash of astonishment flashed through his eyes, and he turned his head and looked at Elsia subconsciously.

"Eh...? Wait, what's the situation? Mr. Qiaowen... Are you not a human being?"

However, after staring at Elsia, what Qiaowen met...instead was a gaze that looked more dazed than himself.

It seems that this saint son had never expected this to happen before...

"Wait, wait! Pause!"

Then in the next moment, after recovering from a brief consternation, Elsia, who had clearly noticed something wrong, quickly moved her gaze away from Qiao Wen and turned to look at the shield in front of Qiao Wen: " Lord Shield Spirit...pause for now! Something seems to be wrong—"

laugh.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Wen noticed that the sacred flames entwined with him... all went back.

But... useless.

At this moment, even if the flame that was the source of the fire had receded, Qiao Wen's body surface had already been completely covered by the pale golden flame.

The clothes began to melt away bit by bit.

Although Qiao Wen had a magic shield on the surface of his body, it was obviously not enough.

For these sacred fires that can contend with the divine power factor, his shield made of magical power just touched it, as if bearing an unbearable weight. He only insisted on it for a few seconds. It exploded like popcorn.

The magic power stored in Qiao Wen's body was also completely drained.

In the next instant, without the protection of the magic shield, the intense burning sensation quickly swept across Qiao Wen's body.

pain!

It hurts!

It hurts so hard to breathe!

At the same time, along with this burning sensation, I used my mind... there was also an indescribable dizziness.

It was as if something was about to float out of the body.

'...I shouldn't have just gotten cold due to an accident, right?'

When his consciousness was about to fall into silence and his body began to become unstable, Qiao Wen just followed his instinct and raised his hands to cover his face.

"Mr. Qiaowen...?!"

Afterwards, while leaning forward, Qiao Wen completely lost consciousness as Elsia's panicked shout came from his ear again.

However, his face did not make intimate contact with the floor.

Before that, Elsia, who came from the side, had already supported him.

"Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Qiaowen? Mr. Qiaowen...??"

After seeing Qiao Wen stabilized, Elsia first instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to shake Qiao Wen, who was motionless, despite the golden flames that were spreading along Qiao Wen's body toward her sleeves.

"...Fainted?"

Soon, after realizing that Qiao Wen had lost consciousness, Elsia was taken aback for a moment.

The sacred fire... suddenly became mild again.

Then, when she found that after the first few seconds of the riot, the torch covering Qiao Wen's skin had completely restored to a stable state, and she did not continue to burn Qiao Wen... The color of doubt on his face suddenly became stronger.

'How is this going?'

Because as a contemporary saint son, Elsia is of course very clear that the riot caused by the holy fire just now...only possible after the holy fire has come into contact with creatures whose life level is lower or surpasses the category of "human". produce.

The reason why she had such a brief moment of consternation just now was precisely because of speculations such as "Does Qiao Wen stop being a human?"

But obviously, if you calm down and think about it, you can know...the probability of this kind of thing happening is very low.

Because...At least fifteen years ago, when Qiao Wen was teleported over, he was absolutely purely human.

There is nothing wrong with this.

Because it is only humans who can barely allow the Holy Shield as a human sacred weapon to carry out cross-border transmission and transfer.

And... now this kind of torch has calmed down, it's just the state of surrounding Qiao Wen's skin with a faint flame...It has also been exactly the same as the previous reaction of the torch when it came into contact with ordinary humans.

The burning momentum of the flame was very gentle. Although it was covering the skin of Qiao Wen's body bit by bit, it did not burn his body and clothes as violently at the beginning.

Compared with the present, the sacred fire riot that happened in just a few seconds before... seemed like a misunderstanding.

'It's strange, this kind of repeated contradictions... seems to have never happened before.'

With this thought came to mind, Elsia frowned subconsciously, thought a little, and then she had the answer:'Indeed, I have never seen this happen to the Holy Fire before...'

'Looking at the current situation, is it possible that they really misunderstood something when they first met Qiao Wen?So that kind of violent reaction?'

After such a strange speculation arose in her mind, the expression on Elsia's face seemed a little surprised at this moment:'And now the misunderstanding is resolved, so the sacred flames have calmed down again?'

'But...what kind of misunderstanding was it that made the holy flame suddenly become like that?Do they treat humans as monsters?But... the effect of the sacred flame on human beings clearly only has the function of stimulating potential...'

The blue pupils reflected Qiao Wen's look that had been slightly relieved after being unconscious. Elsia frowned and subconsciously came up with such a guess in her mind:'No, wait?Could it be because his upper limit of potential is obviously lower than or surpassed the scope of human beings, so the Holy Fire caused the misunderstanding that he is not human at the beginning?'

'Indeed, if this is the case, abandoning the question of probability will barely make sense.'

'I remember Heli and Dai'er before, and the human beings who gambled on the national fortune of the tenth generation of Saint Son... It seems that this has happened before, and after these three people woke up, they did have a full The powerful exclusive talent, especially the human being summoned by the Tenth Generation Saint Child, did provide a lot of help for the expedition at that time...'
