Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 143 Farewell Notes
The scenes are changing, and this time the world is even more gorgeous.

During the dance, Poro and Lake saw the changing scenes around them: trees swaying in the wind, snow flying in the wind, from nature to life, love, and finally war...

And within these scenes, there are countless human figures dancing along.

All the movements appear brief and powerful, just like a dancer using various movements to interact with the environment and express his or her soul and emotions.

Poro and Lake, by now, had already noticed...

The essence of this ever-changing illusion comes from dance, but these essences seem to have been alienated by the devil with the bloody beard before.

Sure enough, the next moment, the words on the True Knowledge Magic Mirror changed again:

【Good Times Never Come Back】

The next moment, all the different scenes melted away instantly. The emerald green trees turned into standing dead bones, and the clear water turned into scarlet, ugly blood.

Countless people began to alienate and wail.

Deep in the chaotic scene, Lake and Poro also saw the red-bearded devil standing on the mountain of blood.

"Dance allows the body to leap into perception, using the body to express many things: aesthetics, ethics, the world...

But I don't like any of these.

The world, just need to face the inevitable death.

I believe you can feel this beauty through your dancing, right?"

[Curse No. 3: Weird Thoughts]

Then, the devil illusion that looked like a shadow of the past disappeared, and in front of Lake and Poro, a tree made of blood diamonds rose from the red vortex.

The Third Boundary

Dance, dance, and more dance.

On the stage, dancing figures passed by one after another. These people, lost in this space, were silent, just stretching their bodies to the magical dance music.

Below the stage, the shadows of countless audience members were hidden in the darkness.

They clapped their hands and said all kinds of words of praise:
"Your dancing skills are amazing, with great spins and jumps!"

“Your performance is full of emotion, it really makes people feel the same way!”

"You are not only a dancer, but also a natural performing artist. Your expressiveness is so strong!"

"..."

Amidst these words of praise, all the shadows began to dance even harder. Their movements became more and more crazy and faster, as if they could no longer stop!
In the deepest part of the illusion, Poro and Lake also saw...

A fleeting image.

She was a little girl wearing red dancing shoes. In front of her was also the shadow of an audience member. His beard looked very long from the silhouette, almost dragging to the ground.

"What beautiful dancing shoes!"

The audience clapped and praised, "It will be perfect for you to dance in! You're like a natural dancer!"

"Really, sir?"

the little girl asked happily.

"Of course, use it to dance. Dancing is the most beautiful thing in the world. Don't let anything hold you back..."

Seeing this scene, Poro's pupils shrank and he immediately thought of something.

But that phantom, which seemed to come from the past, disappeared immediately.

A spectator shrouded in shadows was standing beside Lake and Poro. He clapped his hands and said in a very respectful tone:

"The chemistry between the two of them was fantastic, so harmonious, with a beauty that felt like a telepathic connection. This was simply the most wonderful performance I've ever seen!"

At the same time, the audience shrouded in shadow raised their hands, and inside was a golden wine glass.

It is filled with wine-red liquid with an enticing aroma.

"Please allow me to buy you two a drink to show my admiration."

The man spoke again, bringing the wine glass in his hand closer. The color and smell of the wine carried a sweetness that was hard to resist.

An attraction that goes beyond the physical senses!
But at this moment, in front of only Lake and Poro, words appeared again on the surface of the pages of the Mirror of True Knowledge:
【Devil's Poison】

[It is difficult to refuse]

The next moment, the shadows that shrouded all the spectators quickly faded away in the eyes of Lake and Poro. Horns grew on their heads, and their glowing pupils showed blood-red horizontal lines.

All devils have a bloody beard.

At the same time, the mellow liquid in the wine glasses in their hands also revealed its true appearance.

It was crimson blood, countless blood threads, wriggling like nematodes, forming countless arms. They reached out towards Lake and Poro, opening and closing in mid-air to grasp—

It was as if he couldn't wait to enter their bodies.

The words of these devilish audiences also twisted into other words:
"You use dance to fight against the nothingness, and what I give you will be endless 'fulfillment'.

Look, your desire can't wait...

Come, drink this glass of wine, and let your body no longer be controlled by your cowardly soul. Return to the embrace of the wild.

Leave everything to the dance of the end."

Seeing this, Lake and Poro couldn't help but step back. As Lake dodged, he reached for his waist, pulled out the Star Killing Sword, and chopped the glass of bloody wine to the ground!

The golden wine glass shattered, and the blood-red liquid flowed and evaporated on the ground.

They make a chaotic and noisy sound.

It's more like... the wailing of countless creatures.

[Curse No. 4: Soul Erosion]

The next moment, the scene changed, and the dance music around them produced some kind of rushing water sound, and the two were walking on a huge, luxurious ship.

A boat sails on a rushing river...

The fourth boundary

The river flickered in the two people's sight, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Sometimes, it is a clear, broad, beautiful rushing river, and sometimes, under the special vision of the two people, it turns into a blood-red river.

The river flows upwards against the height.

[Do you understand? The fourfold curse that hangs over this world?]

As the ship moved forward, the Magic Mirror of Truth asked.

On the pattern, two tiny spots of light flickered, as if staring at Lake and Poro.

"I... should have sensed a part of this world, a distorted part..."

Poro raised his eyes and looked around at the scenery that was changing unsteadily between illusion and reality.

Dance, born between freedom and restraint, between the individual and the collective, conveys aesthetics through movement. The dancer's body is also an organ for perceiving and experiencing the world...

But all these beautiful things have been distorted and alienated by the devil's four spells!

[Spell 1: Unrestrained]

Spell 2: Spread

[Curse No. 3: Weird Thoughts]

[Curse No. 4: Soul Erosion]

And this is also the root cause of the dance epidemic.

[Very good, now that you have seen the truth, you have the power to change it.]

The Mirror of Truth spoke, its voice growing fainter as it slowly approached the Poro and spoke its final words:

All I can do is watch and understand, but the ones who can truly make a difference are you.

The next moment, the Mirror of True Knowledge spontaneously flew back to Poro's spiritual world.

The light on it dissipated and became silent, and there was no longer anything special about it.

"I'm going to... make changes?"

Under the influence of the Mirror of True Knowledge, Poro saw clearly the four spells that shrouded the world, and also understood a little about the root causes hidden within them.

Those bloody languages ​​intersect, combine, and reverse in imagination...

The next moment, a page of a book appeared from mid-air—

[Return of the Ring: Twelve Dancing Princesses: Endless Dance Banquet]

[Fairy Tale Power: During the dance, you gradually sensed those souls... addicted to the abyss of wild dance]

[Unsealing Ceremony: Step into this dance feast with your dance partner]

[Description: The princesses danced tirelessly in a never-ending dance party, and so did their partners... The passionate music gnawed at their sanity.]

Poro looked at the pages in front of him and felt something.

The images and text on it faded, distorted, and changed as if they had been washed away by water.

On the screen, the twelve dancing princesses disappeared and turned into a half-closed curtain.

In it, all the dancers held hands and bowed in greeting.

[Circular Return: Twelve Dancing Princesses: Curtain Call]

Every dance should have an ending moment. Eternity, in many cases, is not so beautiful. Now, you are here, and the curtain call will be played today.

[Fairy Tale Power: Within the musical notes, dispel the distortions you see and return to the original truth]

[Description: The princesses danced tirelessly in a never-ending dance party, and so did their partners... The passionate music gnawed at their sanity.]

You see all this, and you know that dance shouldn't be this magical.
