Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 145: The Final Dance
Poro and Lake watched silently as the red dancing shoes wrapped in the wriggling limbs slowly lost their red glow.

The flesh and blood connected to the dance shoes seemed to gradually stop moving.

The dance music in my ears gradually faded.

The same is true of the hallucinations and restlessness brought about by the energy of the wild dancer in the Poro's ears.

"Polo, why does your body suddenly... seem to be melting!"

Lake looked at the Poro's humanoid body with wide eyes.

"Well, the power that makes up my current body should have come from the Wild Dancer. Now, after losing the Wild Dancer's support, it should be disappearing."

As Poro spoke, he sensed that the outer layer of his wolf-shaped body, composed of blood-colored energy, had begun to collapse.

It's as if some essence has dissipated and cannot support the physical embodiment.

His facial features became blurred, and the red mist of light dissipated.

The energy that had been with me for a long time was quickly fading away.

"Oh, so that's it..."

Lake nodded, her bright blue eyes flickered slightly, and I don’t know what she was thinking about.

"How did you feel about the dance just now?"

Poro turned to look at Lake and smiled.

"Feelings? Even though the environment was a bit strange, and you stepped on my foot..."

The girl blinked, looked down at the hand she was still holding with Poro, and finally raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly, "But it's not bad!"

And just as the two were talking, Poro suddenly sensed something.

A sound of wind seemed to be sweeping in from the darkness in the distance——

At the same time, those flesh and blood limbs that seemed to have lost their energy support suddenly flipped up out of thin air, but did not grab the Poro, but intercepted the unknown shadow that was attacking from the darkness!

"Hmm? How could it be—"

The shadow let out a frustrated sound, and the next moment, the bloody limbs extending towards him melted instantly!
At this moment, Lake and Poro also saw who was coming.

He has two horns on his head, blood-red eyes, and most importantly - a blood-red beard on his chin!

After being blocked by the remains of the Red Shoes, the devil's lightning-fast speed also paused slightly. Incredible anger appeared in his eyes:

"The power I gave you is clearly destruction itself, even without the spell, yet you still thought of... resisting me?!"

It was like the influence of the devil, or like the power of the red dancing shoes began to dissipate after losing the spell.

Throughout the hall, flesh and blood began to melt and disintegrate.

"That guy I saw in the illusion before... the culprit of the dancing epidemic!"

When Poro saw the attacking figure, the humanoid flesh on his body instantly disintegrated, and his wolf body leaped out of the blood mist, with demonic light overflowing from his pupils.

In an instant, the devil's front arm began to rapidly turn into cream.

"Hmph, mortal magic—"

Unexpectedly, the devil snorted coldly and took the initiative to cut off the arm that was beginning to turn into cream.

Immediately afterwards, another black and red light emerged from the cross section of the broken arm and condensed into two arms again. Then, a layer of black light began to emerge on the surface of his body.

Behind him, a shadow unfolded, revealing a pair of giant bat wings!

"Paradise is gone, the sun and moon are dark, and everything you see will be destroyed. This is a foregone conclusion, and you weaklings have no chance of changing it!"

Afterwards, Poro was surprised to find that the food curse no longer worked on the red-bearded devil!
He wanted to retreat, but this time, he found that his speed was much slower.

Without the energy of the Wild Dancer, the Poro's own body is not strong.

Not to mention……

Compared with the "mythical creature" in front of him!

"drink--"

After realizing this, Poro no longer tried to dodge. He used two kinds of magic with his eyes at the same time. On the ground, green and red vines shot towards the devil. In the front, invisible magic explosions also met the attack like cannonballs.

But the speed of this devil was even faster. He swayed slightly in the air, and the vines fell into the air.

Then, Poro's demonic explosion hit him.

"Your magic is still weak. It simply doesn't have the power to end it—you have potential, but for now, you should die!"

The black energy around the devil wavered, cushioning the impact of the Poro's magic explosion into nothingness.

The sharp claws in the darkness will touch the Poro's body in the next moment!
At this time, Lake's Star Killing Sword had already been stopped in mid-air. Under the effect of [Spiral Beacon: Hunter], Lake's physical fitness, which had been enhanced by the Star Killing Sword, was enough to keep up with the speed of the devil.

"Foolish, a mortal's magic sword is no more than scrap metal—"

Although the devil spoke sarcastically, he still turned slightly, but at this moment, there was nothing in the other direction beside him.

"Bah—"

A gunshot rang out out of nowhere!
Invi's gun muzzle spit out a golden bullet almost right next to the devil. On the surface of the bullet, runes from Karen's angel power glowed faintly!

In an instant, a glimmer of light appeared, and the golden angel's power, although weak compared to the power of the devil, was enough to stop the devil from dodging.

The devil can only stretch out its claws to meet Lake's Star-Killing Sword.

"Chong-"

There was a clear sound of sword, but there was no stalemate in the following scene.

It was not as the devil thought, that the "Mortal Magic Sword" was unable to support it and shattered.

The vulnerable one is actually himself!
The devil's arms and body were like cheese cut by a knife, easily separated by the Star Killing Sword!

In the devil's astonished eyes.

The Star-Killing Sword swept across the devil's body. Lake's swordsmanship allowed her to accurately see through the devil's weaknesses, and the black and red light dissipated.

The devil's astonished head flew up and fell to the ground.

It was not until this moment that the devil realized that his head had been chopped off!

"This sword... How is it possible!?"

His head fell to the ground, and he dodged backwards, staring at the azure light of the Star-Slaying Sword. His mouth opened and closed in surprise, "This, this isn't magic, this is—God's..."

However, at this moment, another golden light came from behind, dispersing the black light that the devil wanted to escape.

"Hurry, he's... disturbed by me, and can't escape—"

Karen struggled to get up from the ground, and the halo above his head burst into a flickering light, as if it was the last ray of light that was about to go out.

It entwines the black light from which the devil flees—

And Lake's second sword also attacked immediately.

A silver light streaked through the darkness, and the devil's head was split in two...

They turned into a stream of black flames, burning and extinguishing rapidly.

The last part of the devil's head.

A blood-red eye stared at Lake and the Star-Killing Sword in her hand, filled with resentment and hatred that was difficult to conceal.

"Good, very good—"

Amidst the trembling black flames, a devil's voice, filled with venom and chill, rang out, "Paradise has fallen, but Doomsday is already the end. Everything...will surely be annihilated in the final light of Hell!"
Heaven has fallen, but Hell, in its destruction, grows deeper—

As long as evil thoughts exist in this world, I will not disappear...

When you meet again, you can only kneel on the ground and cry helplessly. God is dead. Even if you hold on to the afterglow of the past, you will never be able to reverse the inevitable overthrow!

Having said that, Lake's third sword flashed by.

The last black shadow disappeared, and the devil's voice also stopped abruptly.

……

"Is the devil really...dead?"

Watching the devil in front of her disappear, Lake still did not retract the Star Killing Sword in her hand. Her blue eyes were shining with the faint light of stars.

She scanned the darkness around her, trying to prevent the cunning demon from attacking again.

At the beginning, the scene of the devil rising from the dry bones is still vivid in my mind.

"What did he mean by it not disappearing? Also, why does he seem to recognize the sword in my hand?"

"That devil should be dead, but in hell, there are other devils."

Karen thought for a moment and explained, "It's just that those demons may have the same power as the one we are facing, but they are no longer the same."

"Devil... Hell?" This is different from magic. Lake and Poro felt slightly relieved after hearing Karen's words.

But deep down, I still feel a little confused about this so-called "devil".

In fact, it hadn't been long since the two of them came out of the forest, but in addition to magic, they had come into contact with demons, angels, a fallen heaven, and...

The destruction of the world.

This was completely different from what the two had initially expected.

"So, will we encounter other demons in the future? And what did he say about the world being destroyed...?"

Poro looked at Karen and asked hesitantly.

"These...I don't know much."

A trace of guilt flashed in Karen's eyes, and she continued, "When I was in heaven, I didn't know much, and I wasn't an angel with much ability.

So, I’m sorry…”

"It's ok."

Lake shook her head and didn't care.

After experiencing this series of events, Poro has become more receptive to angels and demons, things that used to exist in myths and rumors.

"However, your sword may indeed have some connection with heaven."

But at this moment, Karen stared at the Star Killer Sword on Lake's waist, and then said, "Your sword does carry some of God's aura, uh... not the smell.

It's more like a meaning, and should have some relevant powers."

Karen went on to explain, "I can't discern the specific nature of it... but this should be the reason why you were able to inflict such great damage to that demon, right?"

"That's it..."

Lake touched the blade of the Star Killing Sword. The starry sea illusion on the silver-white blade gradually shrank back after the battle, revealing the silver-white mirror surface again.

"Now, the matter should be resolved, right?"

Lake looked around and saw that the dancing limbs on the surface of the hall gradually began to fade away. They were like melted wax figures, sublimating into red mist.

"No...it shouldn't be that easy."

But at this time, Poro spoke. He looked at the red dancing shoes wrapped in flesh and blood not far away, and there was some worry in his eyes.

"I felt that even though I ended the spell on the shoes with the [Curtain Call Note], the energy within them hadn't completely dissipated."

"Huh? Why?"

Lake was stunned and asked in surprise.

"The power accumulated over the years is still in the dancing shoes. The abyss of wild dancing that swallowed us up before has not disappeared. Those dancing souls should also be in it..."

Poro thought for a moment and continued, "Just now, after the spell was lifted, the Red Shoes were still able to control their flesh and blood to stop the devil - this also proves this point."

"Then we have to..."

Lake gritted her teeth and put her bare hand on the hilt of the Star Killer Sword again, "Completely destroy it?"

"No need, let me take care of the rest."

At this moment, the angel Karen began to limp. Her wings were broken, and golden angelic power surged from the wound, repairing it...

But in the battle, the angel's power, which was already on the verge of exhaustion, seemed to be a drop in the bucket for such serious injuries.

"Ms. Karen, let me help you..."

Seeing this, Lake and veteran Invi rushed forward and held Karen's arms.

At this time, Karen still looked like a short girl, with a blood-stained face and a hint of broken beauty.

"Thank you. Although I'm an angel, I can't help much in this battle. Fortunately, you're here..."

"It's okay, Ms. Cullen. I only became stronger when I traveled with the Poros. In the beginning, I was also a helpless girl."

Lake blinked and spoke softly.

Karen's golden pupils looked at Lake who was supporting him, and Poro who was squatting not far away, deep in thought. He smiled, but a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

Standing in front of the red dancing shoes, the red dancing shoes seemed to sense something.

All the spider-web-like flesh has been broken.

The pair of shoes came leaping over, with the broken feet still hidden inside, and blood left a trail of footprints on the ground.

"This sin was caused by me from the very beginning... Now I understand that although these sins were not my own will, they cannot be eliminated by simply severing them."

As Karen spoke, she gritted her teeth and slowly let go of Invi and Lake's support.

The wings behind it danced stiffly, leaving a trail of blood.

Her figure gradually flew up.

Under Karen's feet, a pair of prosthetic feet made of wood actually broke away from her feet and stood on the ground.

Roots grew from the soles of its feet, drilled into the cracks in the rocks, and even sprouted tender green branches!

Karen gradually flew above the red dancing shoes and slowly aligned the broken end of her leg with the inner cross-section of the red dancing shoes - a perfect fit!
"I'm sorry for abandoning you before. Now, I have the confidence to control myself and bear the sins on my own shoulders.

come back. "

As soon as he finished speaking, endless black and red blood mist burst out from the red dancing shoes and enveloped Karen!

On all sides, the walls had already melted into bloody mud.

It actually flashed at the same time as if sensing something!
"Ms. Cullen—"

Lake's pupils shrank and she was about to draw her sword, but the Poro stopped her.

Poro's special vision allowed him to sense something, something... different from the wild dance and distortion.

"Wait a moment, Lake, and take another look... Trust Ms. Cullen."

The moment Karen came into contact with the red dancing shoes, she felt an extremely twisted and aggressive energy wanting to flow into her body.

As long as she was conscious, she could use the power of angels to drive the abnormality out of her body.

But she held back, and instead allowed the angelic power to entangle with this abnormal energy, gradually merging...

The two seemingly opposite energies, however, gradually became less distinct as they tangled, and instead transformed into each other.

Just like what the devil said before.

The red dancing shoes and Karen are of the same origin!
As the red light and the golden light slowly blended, Karen's vision gradually blurred. She seemed to see... an extremely distant memory from the depths of her memory.

A shoemaker raised his hand, carefully took down the red dancing shoes from the top of the shoe rack, and placed them in front of himself.

"Little girl, these shoes were originally custom-made for Her Royal Highness the Princess, but they don't fit her feet. If you want them... I'll sell them to you at a discount."

"really?"

Karen's clear voice rang out.

She put on her red dancing shoes, which were very comfortable.

Both the size and shape fit perfectly with my feet, as if... they were specially tailor-made for me.

"Of course it's true, do you like it?"

"Thank you sir! I love it!"

"..."

The illusion faded away, and the blood-colored light mist also quickly dissipated. The flesh and blood in the surrounding underground palaces stopped moving. Throughout the capital of Steds, one demonic dancer after another fell to the ground at the same time.

Those abnormal flesh and blood, like ice and snow encountering sunlight, melted and disappeared rapidly.

Only some dried residue and deformed bones remained.

"Ms. Cullen, are you okay?"

Lake looked at Karen. At this time, Karen, who looked like a little girl, had already put on the pair of dancing shoes.

The light in her eyes switched rapidly between gold and red, and her whole body seemed to be twitching uncontrollably, but gradually, the golden light gradually gained the upper hand.

Although the gold at this time also has a hint of orange-red.

But Karen's physical abnormalities were gradually restrained.

"thank you all."

The wounds all over Karen's body began to heal rapidly. She looked at the nervous Lake and Poro with gratitude and said with a smile, "This dance epidemic has been... resolved.

Compared to a sinner like me, you should be the real angels!"
