Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow.

Chapter 101: Enter, End, Leave (15K big chapter, please order first)
But precisely because of this, Alexia seemed very unhappy when she saw her limelight was taken away from her.

After all, in the VIP seats, the one who should really attract everyone's attention should be Rose Auriana next to Beta, if not her.

As for Beta, who goes by the pseudonym Natsume, she is just a new writer who has recently emerged. Her status is nothing compared to the princesses of the two kingdoms.

In fact, if the organizer of this event was not the church, and Acting Archbishop Nelson, LSP, had not invited Beta, she would not even be qualified to enter the VIP seat.

Especially at this moment, Beta's demeanor was very artificial, and his every word and action clearly exuded a strong tea art atmosphere.

Of course, as a princess representing the kingdom, Alexia was able to control her emotions, put on an impeccable smile and play the role of a perfect princess.

It wasn't until she casually glanced at Beta and saw her one-sided mocking smile that something in her mind suddenly snapped.

The next second, Alexia stepped directly on Beta's instep.

This time it was Beta's turn to feel uncomfortable. After all, her status was far inferior to Alexia's, so even if her foot was stepped on, she could only speak out to remind her, but could not take any extreme actions.

Looking at Beta's distorted little face that was about to burst, Alexia felt inexplicably happy.

But she didn't notice that the moment she stepped on it, the magical aura on Beta surged.

Alexia was unhappy with Beta because of Beta's behavior at the moment, but Beta was unhappy with Alexia because she won the first place over Li De.

On this point, none of the few insiders in Shadow Court could stand Alexia.

In Beta's view, Alexia, who was sitting on her left, was a pest who took advantage of her position as a princess and classmate to get close to her beloved master.

She fawned on the public in a disgusting and pretentious tone, waved her hands with a suspicious smile, and this woman who played the role of an ideal princess was an eyesore no matter how you looked at her.

Women like this who usually appear to be perfect are often very dark inside.

Although she didn't think that her beloved master would be fooled by such a shabby woman, there is always a chance of something happening.

But that what-if really became a fact that made her hate it.

Obviously, she is more capable, more beautiful, and has more thoughts about her master than me, so why did such a shabby woman take the lead?

What a joke!
Even if I lost to Alpha, I shouldn't have lost to this poor, sinister girl who shouldn't have appeared in the master's world!

In fact, logically speaking, Reed’s first woman should be Alpha.

But at that time, Reed chose Alexia mainly because he wanted to create a situation that would make Alpha and other women anxious.

As for the reason, it is actually to set the stage for the slave contract.

After all, he didn't know at that time that the nine people selected were willing to sign the contract willingly.

If he had known this earlier, Li De would not have chosen Alexia as his first woman.

It was precisely because of this incident that Beta's dissatisfaction with Alexia far exceeded Alexia's dissatisfaction with her, which led to her sarcastic provocation.

In fact, if it weren't for Li De's pressure, Victoria would have the urge to run to the college and kill Alexia.

After all, in her opinion, Alexia was not worthy of her master.

As the most loyal servant, I should get rid of this pest for my master.

In fact, all of the current nine new shadows hold this idea, but she is the most radical.

It was for this reason that Beta wanted to fight back and teach Alexia a lesson the moment she stepped on his foot.

However, Beta was able to endure in the end because of his loyalty to Reed and Shadow Courtyard.

Of course, even if he didn't resist, Beta would continue to confess his grievances to Li De in a pitiful tone through the contract.

"Master, this sinister woman Alexia is really too much. Not only has she been stepping on the back of my feet, but she has also been grinding them hard. My feet hurt so much!" Beta's delicate voice was transmitted into Li De's mind through the power of the contract.

"I can see it, but there's nothing I can do. Beta, just be patient. After all, you're so beautiful and sexy. If Alexia wasn't jealous, with her temper, she would never do such a rude thing in public." At this moment, Li De could only comfort her.

"My beauty and sexiness belong only to my master!" Beta replied happily after hearing Li De's praise.

"I know that my Beta is a unique treasure!" Li De then offered some sweet words.

Before wandering around the world, Li De had watched quite a few melodramatic romance dramas, so he knew what to say in such a situation.

"Master." Beta's voice immediately became moist.

"Ahem, Beta, that's enough!" At this moment, Ipsilon's voice interrupted.

"Delta is also the BOSS's unique treasure!" Delta also spoke.

"Shadow, I will take the place of the last person." Alpha spoke after Delta finished speaking.

"Well, just seize the opportunity." Li De said immediately.

As the few of them talked about this, the trial was about to begin. Alexia withdrew her foot from Beta's instep, and then the three women sat down.

As Acting Archbishop Nelson spoke, patterns of ancient text slowly emerged on the floor of the arena.

The ancient characters emitting white light spread out in a circle, and the entire arena was suddenly filled with cheers.

The emcee who presided over the trial then introduced the first challenger to appear.

Li De knew this person. He was a member of the knight guard who came with Alexia.

After entering and waiting for a while, the man left cursing.

Just as Li De thought, his strength was not enough to summon ancient warriors to test him.

In other words, his one gold coin, which was the registration fee of 100,000 Jieni, was wasted.

Of course, he was not the only one who wasted his registration fee; the same happened to the next dozen or so people.

It was not until the appearance of Anne Rose, the traveler from the Kingdom of Swords, Bekada, in the original work that the first ancient warrior was summoned. Then this female swordsman defeated the ancient warrior in a very ordinary way and won the victory.

Of course, this ordinary is only for now. After the next hundred people took the challenge, Li De realized how precious this ordinary is.

Who said that among the people who appeared after her, only a few summoned ancient warriors, but these people still wasted their registration fees.

Because none of these people defeated the ancient warriors. Instead, they were carried out by the staff after being defeated.

It is no wonder that warriors who pass the Goddess Trial can find jobs more easily. After all, the value of this trial is indeed very high.

As time passed, this goddess trial soon came to an end.

"Next, please welcome the challenger from the Kingdom of Oriana, George Lucas. Please welcome this challenger with applause!" Although more than a hundred people have been introduced, the host still maintains a high level of enthusiasm.

However, as his voice sounded, the person who shot out from the contestant channel made the audience in the venue stunned.

Isn't George Lucas supposed to be a male human?

How did she become a blonde female elf?

Where did this elf with a pitch-black mask come from?
Just when everyone was puzzled, the ancient characters in the field reacted.

A burst of white light enveloped the entire arena, and then these glowing ancient characters gradually condensed into a figure.

When the light faded, a woman with long black hair and gorgeous violet eyes appeared in the center of the venue.

Under the sheer black robe was a deep purple gift and fair skin, exuding an artistic beauty as if a statue had come alive.

"Aurora, the Witch of Disaster!" Beta couldn't help but sigh in a low voice beside Alexia.

"The one who was summoned was Aurora?" Behind Beta, Nelson couldn't help but open his eyes wide and said in shock.

"Aurora, the Witch of Disaster? I've never heard of this name!" Upon hearing this, Alexia couldn't help but look at Nelson behind Beta.

"I haven't heard of it either, but you seem to know something, Teacher Natsume?" Rose on the side also asked.

"I've only heard of it!" Beta shook his head and said.

After all, Shadow Court has found many relics and interpreted a lot of ancient history, some of which mentioned this name.

But to this day, no one knows what kind of chaos this woman known as the Witch of Disaster Aurora has caused, and what kind of damage she has done. Her mystery is second only to the mystery of Diabolos.

While Beta was speaking, she took out a notebook from the deep valley in her chest and sketched Aurora's figure.

"Is Mr. Natsume recording the subject matter of the novel?" Rose asked curiously.

"Well, I guess so! Um, Your Excellency the Archbishop, if you don't mind, could you tell me a little more about Aurora?" After answering Rose, Beta seized the opportunity to try to ask Nelson some questions in a delicate tone.

Hearing this voice that was so soft that it almost made his bones go limp, Nelson said proudly, "It's natural that you two know nothing about her. I'm actually a little surprised that Teacher Natsume knows her. After all, in the church, only a very few people know this name. Although I don't know who this elf who suddenly appeared is, I didn't expect her to summon Aurora. What bad luck!"

"Is Aurora very powerful?" Rose asked curiously.

"She is the strongest woman in history. This elf who came from nowhere on the field can never be her opponent! Unfortunately, this is all I can reveal." Nelson said slowly.

But his expression conveyed this meaning to the women who were looking at him, and the rest would be revealed by watching.

Yes, Nelson, who knew Aurora's background very well, had a full understanding of Aurora's strength.

"It's time to start!" Following Nelson's reminder, the three women turned their heads and looked towards the center of the venue.

To be honest, Alpha was a little surprised when looking at Aurora at this moment.

After all, in her opinion, the one she should summon is Olivia, the elven hero who is one of the three heroes.

At this moment, it was Li De in the audience who breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if Aurora didn't show up, Reed would have to consider whether he should take part in the match himself.

Because for Li De, whether or not to unblock Aurora does not seem to have any obvious benefit to him at the moment.

So if Alpha really didn't summon Aurora, Li Dezhen would consider whether to take action while Alpha was fighting.

Of course, now that Alpha has summoned Aurora, Reed no longer has to worry about this problem.

This way he could also watch the battle that had already begun in the center of the venue with peace of mind.

As for how the battle started, it all started with the bright red spear that suddenly pierced out from under Alpha's feet.

Just as Alpha was about to attack Aurora, her front foot suddenly retracted.

The next moment, a bright red spear pierced out from the location of the footprints.

After Alpha dodged in advance, the bright red spear split into two and attacked Alpha.

On the other hand, Alpha seemed to have expected such an attack, so she dodged the attack on one side while cutting off the attack on the other side with the sword in her hand.

But this is not the end, but just the beginning of gorgeous special effects.

The bright red spear entered an infinite proliferation mode in the next second, continuously chasing after the fast-moving Alpha.

"Even if they gather in a swarm, mosquitoes can't kill a powerful monster!"

Along with a cold voice, Alpha injected the mutated magic power into the blade.

When the silver-white sword blade turned extremely black, a terrifying slash destroyed all the chasing spears.

Then he paddled towards Aurora in the center of the field without stopping.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Along with a few roars, several extremely thick bright red spears emerged from the center of the venue, forming three rows of gun formations.

After the first two rows were cut off by Alpha's swing, the three spears in the third row suddenly became thinner and then turned into a large area of ​​thin lines filled with thorns, covering Alpha.

After all, Alpha's slash only has a single line, so Aurora chose to attack the entire area.

For her, as long as she cuts her opponent's skin, she can basically determine victory by controlling the blood in her opponent's body.

Of course, this is something only the original Aurora can do.

Facing Aurora's attack, Alpha was not at all panicked.

In fact, this was not the first time he faced such an attack.

Yes, it is not the first time, because after returning from the pirate world, Elizabeth, who has now become the ruler of the Dark Tower in Impossible City, has served as a sparring partner for Alpha.

Coincidentally, the attack method used by Elizabeth is exactly the same as Aurora's.

This also made Alpha guess Aurora's identity after seeing this familiar attack.

After all, there are only a few characters that can be summoned in the Goddess' Trial, and among them, the only one who is more powerful than the three heroes is the sealed one.

So Aurora's identity is about to be revealed.

Of course, before truly confirming it, Alpha needs to first get rid of the existence that is similar to a thought entity in front of him.

Thinking of this, accompanied by a click, the sword in Alpha's hand began to emit a strong chill.

As the chill spread instantly, covering the entire venue, the blood thorn net that Aurora condensed with magic power was instantly solidified.

Seeing this scene, even Aurora couldn't help but show some surprise, and then her eyes turned to the sword in Alpha's hand.

At this moment, not only Aurora was staring at the sword in Alpha's hand, but many people present were also staring at him.

After all, in the eyes of many people, the sword in Alpha's hand should be as powerful as the ancient artifact inherited from the royal family of Midgar.

Alpha doesn't care what the people present think.

After using the power of the Snow-Snow Fruit, Alpha stopped hesitating and rushed towards Aurora head-on.

As for the bloody thorns blocking the road, they had no blocking effect at all.

The strong cold caused the temperature of the entire economic field to drop sharply in an instant. Many spectators could not help but shiver with their arms folded.

And with every step taken, frost would condense on the ground and then quickly spread towards where Aurora was.

Then sharp ice spikes rose from the ground and stabbed towards Aurora.

The next second, a bloody scythe of the god of death swept across, and Aurora's body began to flash as she swung the scythe to shatter the ice spikes in front of her.

In addition, Aurora's eyes showed obvious surprise.

Because Alpha's abilities greatly restrain hers.

Yes, at this moment, apart from the blood-red sickle in her hand, Aurora's previous blood attack had been sealed by the rapidly dropping temperature.

Aurora is not afraid of anyone snatching away the control of her blood, but blood is mostly composed of water.

The condensed ice and snow are under Alpha's control, and Aurora cannot snatch them away.

After sealing Aurora's long-range attack method, Alpha did not rely on the ability of the Snow-Snow Fruit to counter it remotely.

Alpha chose close combat. In just a few breaths, the two women fought hundreds of times in the arena, so fast that the audience could not see clearly.

However, this dazzling battle that blurred people's vision did not last long.

Half a minute later, Alpha cut off the scythe in Aurora's hand with a knife, leaving a huge gash on her chest from her left shoulder to her right rib, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Although her body was seriously injured, Aurora couldn't help but smile.

"Just as I said, this elf who came from nowhere was completely suppressed, but she could still fight back? What kind of ancient artifact is that? It's so cold!" Nelson, who was watching the changes on the battlefield in the VIP seats, couldn't help but raise his voice several degrees when he saw Alpha swinging his sword.

Because Alpha's attack was really beyond his expectations.

Of course, for Nelson, the real shock had just begun.

Especially when Aurora used intensive attacks and Alpha was directly frozen and engaged in a fierce close combat with Aurora, Nelson couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Because he had never heard of the sword in Alpha's hand, and he should have heard of such a powerful ice-based ancient artifact.

In addition, the opponent she faces is the disaster witch Aurora!

Even if it's not a complete form, it's not something that can be solved easily.

In other words, how could Aurora be solved?
Just when Nelson couldn't figure it out, a bright light appeared in the arena.

"Alpha, you leave first!" Seeing that the Sanctuary began to react, Reed immediately said to Alpha.

"Okay!" After saying that, Alpha jumped directly on the spot and rushed into the night that had already fallen.

After Alpha left, the light in the venue disappeared, and was replaced by a white door covered with ancient characters, and at this moment the door was gradually opening.

"The Holy Land has responded?" Nelson looked at the scene in front of him with some disbelief.

"What's the response you're talking about?" Alexia asked from the side.

"As everyone knows, today is the annual day when the gate to the sanctuary opens." Nelson said as he stared at the opened gate to the sanctuary.

"But I heard that the gate to the sanctuary is in the Holy Church!" Rose also said.

"Yes, it is in the Holy Church. But there is more than one door. The Holy Land will change the type of door depending on who knocks on it. There are the Door of Rejection, the Door of Summoning, and the Door of Welcome. But you won't know which one it is until you go in." Nelson answered Rose's question while staring at the door of the Holy Land.

"Anyway, the Goddess' Trial can no longer proceed, so let the audience go." Nelson immediately added.

The relevant personnel who heard it immediately carried out his orders.

Under the command of these people, ordinary audiences began to leave in an orderly manner, and people in the VIP seats also stood up and walked out.

"No one is allowed to approach the gate!" Nelson gave the order again when he saw that the gate was open enough for one person to pass through.

"Please leave as soon as possible!" Nelson said to the three women in front of him.

But just as she finished speaking, Alexia and Rose drew their swords and stood back to back.

"What happened?!" Nelson looked around belatedly and found that he was surrounded by a group of people covered in black robes without knowing it.

"I'm very sorry, but until the door closes, please stay here obediently!" A pleasant voice like the ringing of a bell rang in the ears of several people.

"You guys. Could it be...!?" Nelson seemed to realize something when he saw the people coming.

But he did not say the name of Shadow Courtyard, because Li De has not officially appeared yet, so the name of Shadow Courtyard has not been called out.

The only thing Nelson knew was that there was a secret organization working against the cult, and the people in front of him fit the description of that organization very well.

Among the black-clad group, the leading woman, dressed in a long gown like a formal dress, walked gracefully towards the door.

After saying the first sentence, she ignored Nelson who was in shock. Instead, she glanced at Rose and Alexia for a moment as she passed by them.

In an instant, their shoulders shook and their backs were pressed stiffly together.

So strong!

Alexia felt a stronger sense of oppression from that gaze than Rose did. She had an overwhelming presence that seemed to dominate the night.

Although for the two women, the aura of the woman in front of them was comparable to that of the woman in the previous venue.

Alexia's eyes subconsciously glanced at the audience seats across the venue in the distance. She eagerly hoped that Reed would pay attention to the situation here.

After all, in Alexia's heart, only Li De can give him a sense of security.

If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have cared about the outside world's opinion and brought Sid with me.

It's really weird. I'm watching the annual goddess trial and something like this actually happens.

How unsafe is the kingdom?
However, no matter how Alexia complained in her heart, there was no figure like the one stepping on the seven-colored auspicious cloud appearing beside Li De.

"Ipsilon, it's up to you from now on. Ladies, please be good children!" Gamma's voice sounded again.

Yes, Gamma still found time to come in person, but he was not called by Alpha, but was directly teleported by Reed.

After all, Alpha called out Aurora, and they would definitely not be able to enter the sanctuary through the main gate. If Li De didn't find someone who could suppress Delta to lead the team, it would be difficult for him to feel at ease, after all, Delta was known for being reckless.

Currently, Gamma has come from behind to become the first in the Nine Shadows' ranking of strength, Alpha has become the second because his ability is restrained, and Elizabeth is the third.

Yes, Delta, who was originally ranked second, has now been ranked fourth, which makes her very dissatisfied, but she can do nothing about it.

Before she was strengthened with Li De's resources, she really could not beat the three women who have now been strengthened.

"Leave it to me." Ipsilon nodded immediately.

"Wait! You are not allowed to enter the sanctuary!" Nelson shouted immediately.

But his shouts were simply ignored by Gamma, who then disappeared into the depths of the light gate with Delta, who had remained silent.

"So, what is your purpose in doing this?" Alexia really didn't like the fact that everything was out of her control.

"Shut up and stay here until the door disappears, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. And, Acting Archbishop Nelson, please come with us!" Ipsilon said after looking at Alexia viciously.

In fact, if Rose had asked, Ipsilon's tone would definitely not have been so harsh.

But who told Jiuying that Alexia was a pest who stole Li De's virginity in his eyes? He had already tolerated her without taking any action to eradicate her. How could he still have a good face towards her?

"Forehead"

Alexia, who was retorted by Ipsilon, looked solemn at this moment, because she felt the hostility of Gamma and Ipsilon towards her, and the eyes that looked at her as if she were a pest.

"What exactly do you want to do in the Sanctuary?" This time it was Rose who spoke.

"It's not about what to do, but what's there. As long as you stay still, we won't harm you." Ipsilon's tone became much better, but he kept Rose and the others under control with his gaze.

Her beautiful eyes, as clear as lake water, stared at the two women without a trace of carelessness.

This woman is also very strong.

Although not as strong as the two women before, there is still a sense of oppression unique to the strong.

Damn it, where on earth did these strong men come from?

Alexia was feeling a little crazy at the moment.

"If you act rashly, I don't know what this woman will do!" Ipsilon said as if he could read the hostility between Rose and Alexia.

Following her gaze, there was Beta, who went by the alias Natsume, who was captured by the women in black.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Beta lowered his eyes as if he felt very sorry.

"Teacher Natsume!" Beta's posture of holding back tears seemed as if she was tightly squeezing Rose's chest. After all, Rose was Beta's fan!

"You can just ignore her!" Alexia said in a voice that only Rose could hear.

"No!" Rose refused decisively.

"It's better to just ignore it, after all it's so suspicious!" Alexia said again. After all, strictly speaking, she and Beta couldn't stand each other.

"No means no!" Rose refused firmly.

Alexia felt a headache after hearing this.

During the question and answer session between the two, the door to the holy land finally opened completely, and then began to gradually close.

After this scene happened, people from the Black Group continued to enter the door, and the captured Beta and Acting Archbishop Nelson also walked towards the door.

Rose and Alexia could only watch this scene helplessly.

Even if Alexia wanted to do something, she couldn't act because there was no loophole.

In Alexia's eyes, everyone in the Black Group is very strong and has good leadership.

They followed the group in front of them in groups of three. Even if they squeezed into the tiny gap, it was easy to imagine the scene of each group coordinating with each other. It was an extremely sophisticated group activity.

As the front line soldiers entered, the gate gradually closed.

"No, don't be so rough!" Beta, who was forced into the door, was now performing a tragic resistance.

"Teacher Natsume!" When Rose shouted, the strength of her sword increased a bit, which showed the level of Beta's acting skills.

"I, I'm fine, please don't worry!" Beta said in a trembling voice, and then was escorted through the door.

Rose, who was not far away, saw this scene and looked like she was about to cry.

"How suspicious!" Unlike Rose, Alexia wasn't fooled by Beta's acting.

At this moment, the only ones left were Ipsilon and the tied-up Nelson.

After confirming that everything was normal, Ipsilon prepared to take Nelson through the door.

But Nelson began to struggle, and this struggle distracted Ipsilon's attention for a moment.

The next moment, a black shadow leaped down and slashed at Ipsilon with a sword.

"Well done, 'Executioner' Venom!" Nelson's laughter echoed throughout the venue.

As the sword flashed, two black objects in front of the chest flew up directly.

Then Ipsilon controlled the remaining magic power in the two parts flying in the air, allowing them to maintain their shape, perfectly suppressing the magic power leaving the body, and at the same time attracting the magic power, causing it to instantly return to its original position and join together.

Anyone who is an expert would be amazed and praise this skill.

This precise control that cannot tolerate any error even to the millimeter level, as well as the speed of instantaneous recovery, can be described as a unique skill.

Especially the shaking texture at the end, which is why Ipsilon has the title of "meticulous". "Well done?" When Nelson looked behind him, he found that Ipsilon, who should have been killed, was standing there unharmed.

“Did you see it?!” Ipsilon’s gloomy voice sounded.

This gloomy voice was accompanied by an overwhelming force.

"Did you see anything?" Ipsilon asked again.

"I didn't see anything!" Nelson shook his head quickly.

"Did you see it?" Ipsilon immediately asked Rose and Alexia.

The two women immediately shook their heads left and right to deny the murderous look in his eyes.

"That's good, come here!" Ipsilon said.

The sound at this moment was like the sky clearing up after the rain, which made people breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only did Ipsilon grab Nelson by the scruff of the neck and drag him towards the light gate, but Nelson yelled, "What are you still standing there for, Venom! Save me now!!"

"Stop shouting, that man's words are dead!" Ipsilon whispered in Nelson's ear.

Just as Ipsilon finished speaking, the head of the executioner behind her rolled to the ground.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah" Nelson's only sound at this moment was fear.

But Ipsilon ignored him and dragged Nelson into the door that was about to close.

The door then closed and disappeared.

In fact, at the moment before the door closed, Alexia's body leaned forward.

It was a pity that she couldn't even take a step, and her body was fixed in place by an invisible force.

After the light gate disappeared, Alexia's body immediately regained its mobility.

What on earth just happened? !

Naturally, it was Reed who used telekinesis to prevent Alexia from entering the sanctuary.

After all, the situation now is different from the original. Gamma, Beta, Ipsilon and other women's attitudes towards Alexia are much worse than in the original.

If Alexia was better and went further in like in the original book, Reed couldn't guarantee that she would not be taught a lesson in the sanctuary.

In addition, Reed also didn't want Alexia to know about the Shadow Courtyard and the Diabolos Cult.

"Shadow, a portal appeared in front of me!" Just after solving the problem on Alexia's side, Alpha sent a message to Reed.

"Come in!" The moment he said this word, Reed had already arrived next to Alpha, and then the two of them stepped into the dark red door in front of them.

After the surrounding environment changed, a very desolate room, a door, and a woman with her limbs fixed to the wall appeared in front of Reed and Alpha.

"Are you the woman just now?!" Alpha said to Aurora with some surprise in his eyes.

"Indeed, I have just seen it!" Aurora nodded, but her eyes were also full of surprise at this moment.

After all, she has been sealed in the holy land for more than a thousand years, and this is the first time a living person has appeared in front of her.

"So it was you who invited us?" Alpha asked immediately.

"As for an invitation, I don't have that intention. But, I'm very happy!" Aurora's tone was a little excited at this moment.

"It seems that this should be attributed to the changes in the sanctuary." Alpha said with a slight frown.

"That should be it. By the way, do you know how to leave here?" Reed asked Aurora.

"I don't know. I have no memory of ever going out. Although my memory is incomplete, among the people I remember, the girl next to you is indeed the strongest, and she looks very much like one of my opponents. It would have been great if she were there in my time." Aurora said, tilting her head.

"It's my honor!" Alpha replied politely.

"By the way, why are you here?" Aurora asked Reed and Alpha with confusion in her eyes.

"Suddenly a door appeared, and when I walked in, I appeared here!" Alpha answered.

"I'm totally confused!" Aurora was very bewildered at the moment.

"By the way, didn't you just have a battle with Alpha? How is it possible that you don't know how to leave?" Reed asked Aurora.

"It was there when I realized it. It was the first time that happened to me, as far as I can remember." Aurora shook her head.

"Shadow, there is a door, just keep going." Alpha said to Reed.

After all, Aurora can no longer collect any information here.

"There is a beautiful woman in front of you with all her limbs tied up. Don't you plan to try to save her?" Aurora said with a pout before Reed made his choice.

"Shadow, do you want to take her with you?" Alpha asked Reed.

"Take it with you. It won't cause any trouble anyway." Li De nodded and said.

The next second, after a few flashes of cold light, Aurora, whose limbs were fixed on the rope, was finally put down.

Aurora stretched out her body in a relaxed manner, revealing a nostalgic smile, and said, "Thank you. This is probably the freedom I have felt after a thousand years!"

"A thousand years?" Alpha was quite sensitive to this time.

"It's just a rough estimate. After all, I don't remember it, but it should be at least that long!" Aurora said immediately.

"Before we leave, we will be partners, right?" Li De asked.

"Indeed, I want to be liberated, and you want to get out, right?" Aurora immediately understood what he meant.

"Indeed, before we officially start the cooperation, I want to ask you again, do you know a way out?" Li De asked Aurora.

"I don't know! But I know the way to liberate myself. The sanctuary is a prison of memory, and there is a magic core in the center of the sanctuary. As long as I destroy it, I will be liberated." Aurora shook her head firmly and said.

"The prison of memory? It turns out this is a special space. The only way to get out is to destroy the magic core." Alpha analyzed.

"The holy land will also disappear because of this. It seems we need to ask Gamma to speed up." Li De also nodded and said.

"Has anyone else entered the sanctuary?" Aurora couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well, we were originally together, but we got separated. However, we can still keep in touch through special means." Li De did not hide it from Aurora.

“But it’s not so easy to destroy the sanctuary. This place is very close to the center of the sanctuary. Even if you want to refine magic power, it will be immediately drained away by the sanctuary core.” Aurora suddenly widened her eyes when she said this.

Because Alpha used magic!

"How can this be right? Your magic is very strange, and it feels a bit ambiguous." Aurora looked at Alpha in amazement.

"Well, let's move forward anyway." Li De just perfunctorily replied.

"Okay!" Aurora said and immediately walked forward and opened the door without hesitation.

After passing through the door, the forest appeared in the early morning. The sunlight poured through the gaps between the trees, and the grass moistened by the morning dew was shining brightly.

Reed knew it in advance and was relatively calm, but Alpha was a little surprised.

"This is in my memory!" Aurora said.

"Your memory?" Alpha couldn't help but ask.

"I have an impression of this place!" Aurora did not nod, but said something ambiguous.

After saying that, she walked forward, and Reed and Alpha followed her.

After walking in the silent forest for a while, the view suddenly opened up. In the square where the morning sun was pouring in, there was a little girl sitting there with her knees hugged.

It was a girl with black hair.

"She seems to be crying." Li De said.

"Yes!" Aurora nodded.

After walking in, Reed and Alpha bent down to look at her face and found that tears were constantly overflowing from her purple pupils.

"This child looks like you." Alpha said, looking at Aurora.

"It's just like that!" Aurora tried to fool around.

"Then what should we do?" Li De eased the atmosphere which was beginning to go wrong.

"If you want to move on, just end this memory." Aurora said slowly.

Aurora said that Miss Direct held up the girl's face and continued, "Crying won't solve the problem!"

After saying that, he slapped her in the face.

"That's too much!" Li De couldn't help but complain.

"That's good. It's me anyway!" Aurora said nonchalantly.

"You finally admitted it!" Alpha asked Aurora.

But before Oro could answer, the world began to shatter, like a broken mirror, the morning forest shattered and disappeared into the depths of darkness.

The surroundings turned directly into empty darkness, and the three of them were now suspended in the darkness.

"Let's go!" Oro said and walked forward.

Although there is no direction or coordinates in the darkness, this is not a problem because the direction Aurora is moving in is the direction where the magic power is being sucked away.

After moving forward a little, we were surrounded by crimson light.

This is a battlefield dyed red by the setting sun. The blood-red sun shines on the battlefield on the horizon.

The fallen soldiers buried the earth, and the black blood imprinted its color here, extending to the end of the horizon.

"Is this an ancient battlefield?" Alpha couldn't help but ask.

"Let's go!" Without giving an answer, Aurora seemed to know the direction to go and walked straight in one direction.

After a while, Reed and Alpha saw a blood-stained girl crying in the center of the battlefield. Without stopping, the three of them walked straight to the girl.

This time, even without seeing her face, Reed and Alpha knew that she was Aurora when she was young.

"Is she crying again!" Alpha had more and more questions in his mind at this moment.

"You are a crybaby after all. Lend me your sword!" Aurora said to Alpha.

Alpha didn't hesitate, after all, she knew she needed to do this if she wanted to move on.

Aurora took the sword and stood in front of the girl with it at arm's length. She had a blank expression on her face, and it looked as if she had driven all her emotions away somewhere else.

And at the moment Aurora swung the sword, Reed and Alpha noticed something.

After a few bangs, several corpses flew out.

"The corpse is moving!" After kicking the corpse away, Alpha couldn't help but frown.

Because what was moving at this moment was not just a single corpse, but the endless corpses on the entire battlefield were standing up.

"The Sanctuary is refusing. It would be difficult without you!" Aurora swung Alpha's sword directly while speaking.

As blood spurted from the girl's body, the world shattered again.

Li De and the other two were standing in the dark world again.

"Thank you!" Aurora said casually when she returned the sword to Alpha.

"It's okay!" Alpha took the sword and put it back on his waist.

Aurora then continued to move forward in the direction where the magic power was being sucked away until the light surrounded the three of them.

The center of the sanctuary has finally been reached!

On the other side of the sanctuary, without the intrusion of Alexia and Rose, Gamma entered with Delta and others and immediately began to investigate.

As for Nelson, he was burned to ashes by Gamma before he got close to the center of the sanctuary.

Everyone knows what the process in the original book is, so Li De naturally has no need to create trouble for himself.

There's not much useful information to be gained from him anyway, so there's no point in keeping the eleventh seat of the Diabolos Cult, [Greed].

After getting rid of Nelson, Reed and his team can conduct investigations in the sanctuary at a leisurely pace.

In the center of the holy land, after arriving here, Li De and the other two immediately saw a huge door.

There were black bloodstains on the door, and densely packed ancient characters were engraved on the front.

The door was locked tightly with chains thicker than a human torso wrapped around it several times.

And on the pedestal on the side of the door, there was a very luxurious sword.

It seems like this should be the so-called holy sword.

I checked before coming to the holy sword, and the ancient text on the pedestal had already been deciphered.

The holy sword can only be drawn by the hero's direct descendant!

"Alpha, go and try to pull it out!" Reed said immediately.

"Okay!" Alpha nodded immediately.

After watching her holding the hilt of the holy sword and pulling it out easily, Aurora suddenly realized.

No wonder she felt Alpha's face was familiar, it turned out he was Olivier's descendant.

"Shadow, are we going to open the seal directly next?" Alpha asked Reed.

"Let's wait a moment. It seems that Gamma hasn't completed the investigation yet." After Li De asked Gamma with the power of the contract, he shook his head and said.

"Then wait a moment!" Alpha said immediately.

It was not until a long time later that Li De received a notification from Gamma that all the information and pictures that could be collected in the sanctuary had been collected.

"Afar, go ahead!" Li De said immediately.

"Ok!"

Along with the sound, Alpha jumped up, and the holy sword in his hand was like a hot knife cutting butter. He directly cut all the chains on the huge door, and then stepped forward and pushed the door open.

And what was behind the door did surprise Li De a little.

It was a black mass, a giant arm. It was pitch black, thick, ugly, and fat. It had sharp claws and pieces of flesh clinging to it, ready to move.

But at this moment, his arms were tightly locked by several other chains engraved with ancient characters.

When Alpha saw the arm, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

As for Aurora, her face was full of disgust, as if she had seen something disgusting.

"So how do we deal with this?" Reed felt a headache when he saw the arm of the demon Diabolos.

"We need to take some samples for research. As for what happens next." Afar also said that he hasn't thought it through yet.

"If possible, can it be destroyed?" Aurora suddenly asked.

"Are you sure?" Reed couldn't help but look at Aurora with a little surprise.

"Yes, I'm sure!" Aurora nodded with a firm look in her eyes.

"It seems that the only way to evaporate it is to use that trick." Li De was speechless after hearing this. After all, he didn't plan to use that trick.

However, this also indirectly proves one thing, that is, although Aurora and the demon Diabolos have the same identity, they are two forms.

The normal form should be that of Aurora. As for the state of the demon Diabolos, it should be caused by some new abnormality.

The original novel mentioned that Olivier's participation in the battle might be the cult's attempt to obtain the new cells in their mutated form, which triggered the legendary battle between the three heroes against the demon Diabolos.

Then, in the original book, after Sid evaporated the entire sanctuary, the last words of Aurora's will before disappearing were: "If you find the real me, please kill me!"

This shows how much Aurora hates and detests her mutated self.

"It has been collected!" While Reed was talking to Aurora, Alpha had already collected the sample from the arm of the demon Diabolos.

"Then you leave first!" Reed said to Alpha.

"it is good!"

After Alpha finished speaking, he closed his eyes and casually operated on the space in front of him. A door appeared, and then Alpha walked into the door.

The method to open the door was found by Gamma.

Seeing Alpha leave, Li De didn't say anything, but directly pulled out the Nine Stars.

The next second, astonishing magical power continued to gather towards the Nine-Star Sword.

"So you are more powerful than her!" Aurora couldn't help but cover her mouth. After all, even if she was in her prime, she would be helpless against Li De's ultimate move at this moment.

"I·Am·AllRangeAtomic!" As Reed recited the pretentious spell, a short-range, all-round annihilation-type ultimate magic nuclear bomb was used by Reed.

The next second, the red and black mutated magic power swallowed up the entire space.

And at this moment, Li De also disappeared into the holy land.

After a loud bang, the holy land disappeared that day.

"It looks like you're going to disappear!" Li De said to Aurora, who appeared beside him and started to speak transparently.

"It seems so." Standing next to Li De, Aurora's face was full of relief.

Looking at the beautiful sunrise, Aurora continued, "I was the one who called you. I'm sorry for lying."

"It's okay!" Li De waved his hand and said.

"Besides that, there were other lies!" Aurora continued.

"It's all over." Li De shook his head and said.

"I've always wanted to disappear as soon as possible and forget everything. Now I can finally be free. Thank you, I'm very happy." As Aurora spoke, her body became more and more transparent, and the forced smile seemed a little sad.

"If you find the real me, please kill me." Aurora's figure disappeared on the spot with an inaudible voice.

"I'll kill you." After Li De said that, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Where did you go last night?" Early in the morning, in the hotel room, Alexia, leaning on Reed's chest, couldn't help but ask.

It’s not that she got up early, but that she didn’t sleep at all. After all, Li De didn’t come back all night.

Especially after Reed released a magic nuclear bomb, the entire Lindblum was awakened by the huge shock.

Although Reed did not cause the horrific scene like in the animation, the entire Lindblom was like a major earthquake.

In the center of the lake near Lindboum, huge waves tens of meters high were also raised.

So Li De was discovered by Alexia as soon as he returned to the hotel.

"What happened last night was so interesting. We must go into the Holy Land to take a look." Li De said casually.

"Did you get any useful information?" Alexia continued to ask.

"It's useless. No matter what information is in there, it's all written in ancient characters, so it's difficult even if you want to find something. But your annoying bald guy died in the holy land." Li De said slowly.

"Is that baldy Nelson dead? It seems that the Vatican needs to re-select an acting archbishop. By the way, what was that loud noise this morning?" Alexia finally got to the point.

"I blew it up!" Li De answered directly.

"You blew it up?" Alexia looked at Li De in shock.

"I don't understand ancient characters, so I can't open the door to leave the holy land. Naturally, once I'm in, I can't get out, so the holy land exploded." Li De said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Uh" After hearing this, Alexia didn't know what to say.

"Can I learn this trick too?" Alexia asked immediately.

"That depends on your performance. But don't expect me to teach you in a short period of time. After all, this move requires very, very high control of magic power." Li De shook his head and said.

"Really? I'll remember this sentence." When Alexia saw that Li De did not refuse, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

Li De didn't intend to be stingy with the magic nuclear bomb.

As for when to teach Alexia, Reed will wait and see, but as for Alpha and others, Reed will teach them as long as the conditions are met.

After all, Reed is not Sid in the original work. When he cannot go to other worlds, he can only use this trick as a trump card.

Of course, Li De will not popularize it, but will limit it to the Nine Shadows.

As for Alexia, if you can't get her over it, just teach her an abridged version.

After the incident in the holy land of Lindblum was resolved, Reed and Alexia also embarked on their return journey.

And soon more than a month passed.

In a remote manor in the royal capital, the two stood facing each other in a small training ground.

The next second, with a puff, one of them disappeared from the spot.

The other person who saw this scene turned around slowly, then swung his sword to block the sword that was slashed by the figure that suddenly appeared.

Then the figures kept flashing and the clanging sound of metal collisions was endless.

It was not until ten minutes later that the flickering figure returned to its original position, and then it half-knelt and gasped.

"Good, great progress! But Alexia, you still rely too much on [Shave], which makes your attack method too single." Li De said to Alexia.

"It's just you, Sid. If it were anyone else, there would be no way they could dodge this attack." Alexia said indifferently.

"I teach you this move so that you have a trump card, just like [Moon Step] and [Paper Painting]. If you use this move all the time, it will no longer be a trump card." Li De said speechlessly.

"Okay, I get it. It's because you practice with me that I keep using it. After all, the more proficient you are, the better the surprise attack effect will be when you really need to use it." Alexia is not stupid, how could she not know the principle of keeping something in reserve? Li De's worries were actually unnecessary.

But Alexia enjoyed Li De's futile concern, and would even deliberately use words to induce Li De to say so, just like she did just now.

"It's up to you. That's all for today." Li De said.

"Sid, tomorrow's a holiday. Do you have any plans?" Alexia asked.

"Got it!" Li De replied briefly.

"Oh!" Alexia couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she heard that.

"See you next time school starts!" After saying that, Li De turned around and left.

It's not that he doesn't recognize people, but mainly because Alexia's recent tea art level has soared, making Li De immune to emotions.

In fact, for Li De, going to the Pirates of the Caribbean to carry out the mission would not take up much of his time.

In his opinion, the weekend rest time is more than enough.

The reason why he didn't take the time to carry it out in the previous two months was just to use up the rest time he had obtained as much as possible.

After all, the difficulty of the missions in Pirates of the Caribbean is hellish, and the rest time given is a full 360 days.

If the previous rest time is not used as much as possible, the time afterwards cannot be accumulated. After all, the maximum number of days that can be accumulated is 360 days.

This is the reason why Li De was not actively carrying out his mission.

You must know that rest time is his own private time, and it is truly his personal time.

In fact, Li De didn't even want to waste a single day of this kind of time.

But sometimes, you have to waste even if you don't want to.

For example, now Li De has more than two months of rest time left. If he spends all this time, the summer vacation will be over.

So Li De would definitely have to waste some time. After all, he had to wait until school started again to carry out the mission. If there was any unexpected delay, he would have to say hello to Alexia again.

Although Li De didn't mind, it was hard not to be noticed since he was absent for a long time during the semester.

Therefore, Li De would rather waste some time than wait until the holiday is over to carry out the mission.

That night, after notifying Jiuying, Li De accepted the mission and went to the Pirates of the Caribbean world.
