However, Shen Ye did not use much of his strength; his previous attacks were merely a test.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, several other angels flew in front of him, raised their divine artifacts that emitted a dazzling white light, and hurled them at him.
But Shen Ye simply tapped his toes and took a step back, easily dodging the attack. Then he raised his two pistols and fired more than a dozen bullets, driving back the angels.
This time, Shen Ye strengthened the psychic power in the bullets. Although the bullets and psychic waves he fired were no different in appearance from before, the damage increased exponentially. The angels that were repelled not only scattered feathers all over the sky, but also shed a lot of blood and became covered in wounds.
Before the repelled angels could even regain their footing, Shen Ye advanced instead of retreating, rushing to their front in just a few steps. While firing his two guns in rapid succession, he also used his martial arts skills.
bang bang bang...
Concentrating the firepower of both guns, Shen Ye blasted one angel to pieces. Then, he twisted his body and kicked another angel in the head with his right leg, which cut through the wind with a sharp sound.
With another bang, the angel's head was kicked and smashed open.
Without even glancing at the angel's corpse that had vanished into thin air as starlight after he had killed it, Shen Ye turned his attention to the remaining angels.
Just as he was about to continue his attack, he suddenly felt a strange energy condensing above his head.
Without a second thought, Shen Ye immediately abandoned his attack plan, and without even looking up at the sky, he suddenly retreated.
Then, the next second, several golden rays of light descended from the sky, striking the spot where he had been standing and instantly blasting a deep crater into it.
The humans outside the purgatory space were terrified when they saw a large crater suddenly appear on the road, and they ran around in panic.
Shen Ye glanced at the deep pit, then at the swaying transparent figures outside the purgatory, before looking up at the sky and discovering that a strange-looking angel with a winged head had appeared above him.
"If I were a believer, seeing an archangel like this would definitely make me a convert. Where has the legendary angel sister gone?"
Upon seeing this angel, Shen Ye mentally complained, then pointed his gun upwards, ready to fire again.
But just then, the roar of an engine suddenly reached his ears.
The sound was very clear; it definitely didn't come from outside the purgatory space.
Shen Ye looked in the direction from which the engine sound came, and his pupils suddenly contracted. In his line of sight, a woman wearing a red leather jacket was riding an incredibly cool motorcycle toward him.
However, the motorcycle was not driving normally on the road, but was riding on the exterior wall of a tall building, defying gravity, and under the control of the woman in red, it lightly jumped between the tall buildings.
"The Witch of Amberra... Joan of Arc."
Shen Ye recognized the woman at a glance, and a name immediately came to his lips.
Just as Shen Ye uttered the name of the woman in red, Joan of Arc had already arrived above him on her motorcycle.
Of course, Joan of Arc's target was not him, but the angel who was also above him.
As the motorcycle engine roared even louder, it leaped high into the air after passing a wall and crashed into the winged head.
boom!
With a dull thud, the angel was struck by the motorcycle and fell straight to the ground like a bird with broken wings.
Then there was another loud crash, and the motorcycle fell down, slamming down hard on the angel's head, crushing it into pieces.
Seeing this, Shen Ye exclaimed sincerely, "What a cool entrance!"
His voice wasn't loud and didn't carry far amidst the roaring engine, but Joan of Arc still heard it. The silver-haired woman in red glanced at him, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but she quickly looked away, took out two pistols from behind her, and pulled the triggers on the remaining angels.
At the same time, Shen Ye also raised his gun and fired, quickly eliminating all the remaining angels.
As the starlight dissipated into the air, Joan of Arc turned her gaze back to Shen Ye.
"A sage? Or... a demon?" Joan of Arc pointed her ornate pistol at Shen Ye, her slightly narrowed eyes filled with curiosity.
Facing the gun, Shen Ye remained calm. He shrugged and said, "Can't I be human?"
"A human?" Joan of Arc scrutinized the man before her, but she truly did not sense any power from him, neither that of a sage nor a demon.
I just thought he was a man who looked pleasing to the eye.
"But humans can enter the Purgatory Space now?" While she found it agreeable, Jeanne wondered, "Or perhaps he made a pact with some powerful demon, which is why he can enter the Purgatory Space? But why can't I sense any demonic aura on him?"
With this thought in mind, Joan of Arc lowered the gun in her hand slightly, but did not put it down completely. Although she had seen Shen Ye kill the angel, and although she did not sense any malice from him, she still looked at the Eastern man in front of her with great caution.
A mysterious man who claims to be human but can enter the purgatory space and fight angels is someone she should be wary of, because mystery and the unknown are the most dangerous.
Chapter 489! Joan of Arc, the History Teacher
(witch)
……
Joan of Arc pondered for a moment before asking, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Faced with this question that is heard in almost every world, Shen Ye's answer was naturally the same as before.
"My name is Shen Ye. I'm here from Country Z for tourism. As for why I'm here... I'm actually quite curious too."
Whether they are angels or demons, sages or witches, they all enter the Purgatory Space voluntarily. Shen Ye was just thinking about this question, but he didn't find the answer as to why he entered unintentionally.
"From that mysterious country? No wonder..." No matter which world it is, as long as there is a country called Z, it is very mysterious in the eyes of foreigners. Joan of Arc was no exception. She looked at Shen Ye, who put away his gun after speaking, thought for a moment, and then put away her own pistol as well.
"Your gun is beautiful."
Noticing Joan of Arc's actions, Shen Ye smiled and offered a compliment.
To be honest, witches are quite easy to get along with. Although they are involved with demons, at least they can reason with people and won't start fighting at the slightest disagreement, unlike angels.
Yes, at least that's how it seems for now.
Witches are not much different from ordinary humans in terms of personality, but most witches are cheerful, generous and confident women. However, in addition, they seem to be extremely narcissistic. Just like in the game, they are always showing off their beauty and charm.
Upon hearing Shen Ye's praise, Joan of Arc smiled and asked, "Is it only my gun that's beautiful?"
"She's also very beautiful." Shen Ye didn't hold back his praise.
"Thank you!" Jeanne smiled even more happily. Then she raised her long right leg, went over the front of the motorcycle, sat across the seat, crossed her two legs which were longer than most people's lives, and looked directly at Shen Ye.
The silver-haired witch's current pose looked incredibly alluring, but Shen Ye, being a seasoned veteran, gazed at her appreciatively for a while before saying, "Speaking of which, madam, you already know my name and background, so now you should tell me your name, right?"
"Joan of Arc," the silver-haired witch uttered her name.
"The Joan of Arc from the story of Joan of Arc?"
"No, it's Joan of Arc, the witch."
Joan of Arc shook her head slightly, correcting Shen Ye's incorrect address.
In fact, Shen Ye knew that Joan of Arc's birth date was exactly the same as Joan of Arc's, both born on January 6, 1412. According to some players' speculations in reality, Joan of Arc was very likely the same person as Joan of Arc, and may even have participated in the Hundred Years' War between England and France.
But none of this matters.
"Alright, Miss Joan of Arc, do you know how to get out of here?" After recalling for a moment, Shen Ye asked the question that concerned him most. He didn't even know how he got in, so naturally he couldn't know how to get out.
Looking into Shen Ye's sincere eyes, Joan of Arc knew he wasn't lying. However... although she possessed the ability to freely enter and exit the Purgatory Space, it was essentially an innate ability, so she didn't know how to answer.
After thinking for a moment, she countered, "Didn't the demon you made a contract with tell you that?"
She still believed that Shen Ye had made a pact with the devil, otherwise he wouldn't have become an enemy of the angels.
“They didn’t tell me.”
Shen Ye understood what she meant and gently shook his head. He didn't know if his entry into the Purgatory Space was related to the two unspeakable beings he had signed with, especially since he hadn't used their power.
Thinking of this, he tried to communicate with the two in his mind, but perhaps because he didn't know their names, or perhaps because he hadn't switched professions and used their abilities, he received no response no matter how he called out in his mind.
Just as Shen Ye was about to switch professions and try again, Jeanne d'Arc suddenly said, "The demon who made a contract with you is really irresponsible."
“Yeah, I didn’t even know what they looked like before I signed the contract with them,” Shen Ye complained.
Seeing Shen Ye's depressed expression, Jeanne smiled, then thought for a moment before saying, "It's a bit difficult for me to explain how to enter and exit the Purgatory Space, but I have thought of a way that should be able to get you out."
Shen Ye looked at her: "What's the plan?"
Joan patted the motorcycle she was sitting on: "Although we just met, I find you quite pleasing to the eye, so I'm going to reluctantly give you a ride for a while. Come on, get on, I'll try to take you with me when I return to reality."
"I see, thank you then."
Shen Ye was somewhat surprised by the silver-haired witch's words, but he didn't stand on ceremony. He walked straight to the silver-haired witch, plopped down behind her, and grabbed the back of the motorcycle with both hands.
The silver-haired witch glanced back, a satisfied look in her eyes, and nodded, saying, "Hold on tight, we're about to take off."
After saying that, Joan of Arc twisted the throttle to the floor, and the motorcycle tires spun around in place for a while before suddenly rushing forward.
In the Purgatory Space, although humans are transparent, other objects can be touched. Therefore, the silver-haired witch did not recklessly charge around. Instead, she controlled the motorcycle onto an overpass and skillfully weaved through the traffic.
At this moment, Joan of Arc cried out, "Hold my shoulders, I'm going back to the real world."
Shen Ye nodded and placed his hands on Joan of Arc's shoulders. At the same time, ripples began to appear in the surrounding space.
“It works!” Shen Ye shouted in Joan of Arc’s ear.
Then, the next second, Shen Ye's vision blurred, and when it returned to normal, he could see the people in the endless stream of vehicles around him.
……
The motorcycle quickly descended the overpass and stopped on the side of the road.
Shen Ye jumped out of the car and said to the silver-haired witch, "Thank you very much for your help, Miss Jeanne."
"Don't mention it. Helping others occasionally is a very joyful thing," Joan of Arc waved her hand casually.
"Besides, instead of just saying thank you, how about something more practical, like buying me a drink?" she said again, though she didn't know why she said it. Maybe she just found the man in front of her more and more pleasing to the eye?
