Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 219 The Prophecy Appears
The red light on the starry barrier began to dissipate rapidly, and the tingling in the skulls of the Falling Star City soldiers began to disappear rapidly, and the previous disgusting state began to disappear.

"Great! This must be His Royal Highness the Prince restoring the barrier, right?"

But after this, in the Sriri army, King Sriri looked up at the bloodless barrier, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned gloomy:

"The contract wasn't broken...and the prince died? What a shame."

King Sri narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "Huh, I thought these starlights could be used by me, but they were killed by ordinary people? This kind of guy took me so long?"

He looked at the Starfall City soldiers charging towards him not far away, his eyes taunting, and gently drew the long sword from his waist:

"It's really boring."

"Still dreaming of defeating the inevitable death? But without the Child of the Stars, all the starlight will only be the last afterglow—"

The next moment, without waiting for the soldiers of Xingluo City to approach him, he swung the sword in his hand down in the air. In an instant, the illusion of hell with mountains of corpses and seas of blood filled the entire space.

The starry barrier began to dissipate like bubbles.

But unlike before, this time, the starry barrier did not light up again.

Along with it, the starry sky covering the entire Starfall City was also destroyed.

"Why, the barrier... disappeared?!"

At this moment, all the soldiers of Starfall City felt a chill in their hearts. They looked at the disappearing magical sky and felt that the power that had been supporting them in their bodies began to dissipate.

"What's going on? Why didn't Team Thirteen revive?!"

"why?"

What shocked them even more was what happened afterwards. Without the magical starry sky above their heads, their dead comrades could no longer be resurrected.

Just as their hands holding the swords were trembling slightly due to the cold, a voice came from behind.

"Soldiers, stand up and hold your weapons tightly. We haven't lost yet, but the real war is about to begin."

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, then looked back and saw the man wearing a metal mask riding on a warhorse - the old king of Starfall City.

"From the beginning to the end, there is no war without casualties. For the sake of their families and survival, there are always some people who choose death."

The old king continued, and as he spoke, his warhorse also headed towards the front line.

"You should know those Sri soldiers, right? They fight not for selfish desires, not for strife, but to prevent us, and your families, from becoming like them."

After hearing the words of the Leper King, the fire of war rekindled in the eyes of all the soldiers of Starfall City.

They naturally knew what the Leper King meant.

It can be said that these people have been fighting with the Sri Kingdom army for the longest time, and they also have the deepest understanding of the strangeness of those Sri Lankan soldiers.

Those who have no human emotions and only know how to kill——

Even if I have to choose death, I must never choose to become a monster like that!

"Besides, we haven't failed yet. The stars are on our side. Although the sky is dim and the stars are hidden, they haven't disappeared."

"I will charge with you to surround our country."

At this point, the Leper King let out a roar, and all the soldiers of Starfall City galloped on their horses, charging towards the Sri Lankan soldiers who were rushing towards the city not far away.

This time, they knew that after their death, they would sleep forever.

But no one was afraid or retreated, and some even tried their best than usual!

……

"Thanks to the urban environment of Starfall City, although the defenders are far fewer in number than the invaders, they should be able to hold out for a long time thanks to the terrain."

In a place in the center of the palace, Lake and others stood on a high tower, looking at the front line of battle not far away.

Poro could sense that in the Sri Lankan army not far away, King Sri Lanka was still emitting a heavy sense of oppression.

"Why...why did the Leper King rush so far ahead? Isn't that dangerous?"

"Because he wants to help those warriors who have been shaken by the disappearance of the stars to stand up again."

Poro shook his head. He looked at the crisscrossing lines of the silver building below him, feeling a dull pain in his heart. "No matter how many words there are, they cannot compare to a king personally taking to the battlefield."

"I understand."

Lake nodded. She was sitting cross-legged on the ground, the Star Killer Sword floating above her knees, the faint starlight entwined and flowed around the sword.

A blue crystal containing a sea of ​​stars was slowly shattering and merging with the Star Killing Sword.

"Besides, we don't have the Starry Barrier. Facing King Sri's sword—in our current position, we are also in danger."

Oz, who was standing by, was also staring blankly at the starlight in Lake's hand, as if he was thinking about something.

After obtaining this "Star Crystal", Lake and Poro tried to repair the star barrier without the support of the Star Child. This was very difficult to do in a short period of time, even with the cooperation of Lake and Poro, it was difficult.

Lake borrowed the crystals of the stars and the "personality" of the star child.

Poro communicates with Lake through telepathy, and uses the abilities granted by [Spiral Beacon: Sage] and [Spiral Beacon: Witch] to think and crack quickly.

"King Sri has not swung his sword yet. I don't know why, but this is our only chance. Without the Star Crystals, if he swings his sword a second time, there will be no one left alive in this city."

……

The Sri Lankan army poured in from the broken city gate, their eyes bloodshot and waving their weapons.

Under the banner of King Sri, King Sri looked at the road paved with blood, mud and corpses at his feet, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

For some reason, after becoming a devil, he liked scenes like this.

Fighting, screaming, wailing, cursing, blood...

The battlefield is such a place. He knows he has won, but he is not in a hurry to end it all.

The Sri soldiers were all ordinary people who had been bewitched. There were many such people in the Sri Kingdom. To King Sri, their value was not as great as this symphony of destruction.

He laughed as he watched Starfall City falling uncontrollably towards destruction.

"The soul dies with the death of the body—this is the true war."

He was not in a hurry to draw his sword and destroy it all.

After drawing the sword, all that was left was dead silence. Although that was good, it was too boring. He didn't know what this feeling was. He had been a human before.

His reason also once said that destruction, death and war were meaningless.

But now, this destructive impulse took over his soul.

"I'm twisted."

King Sri knew this. Perhaps he had been a good man in the past. "This isn't my fault. It's caused by this world. So, to solve this problem, I must destroy this distorted world."

There is cause and effect, as it should be.

At this time, King Sri's gaze passed over the fighting soldiers and looked into the distance. On a street, a masked and armored knight was stabbing a Sri Lankan soldier to death with a sword.

"Huh? That's..."

He naturally knew the situation of his old rival, Xingluo City, and that masked man was clearly the old king of Xingluo City!
"Oh, son of the stars, you seem like a cowardly child, but you, old and feeble, mount a horse and engage in battle?"

A flash of admiration flashed across King Sri's eyes, and then he slowly drew the blood-red sword from his waist.

"Very good, someone like you deserves to be the closing salvo for tonight."

After saying that, he no longer held back his strength, and swung the sword in his hand and chopped it down with all his might!
Suddenly, a sea of ​​blood emerged on the battlefield. Starting from the eyes of King Sri, one after another, no matter they were Sri people or the silver-armored soldiers of Xingluo City, their heads were almost separated in an instant!
The Leper King who was fighting also saw the sea of ​​blood at this moment.

The hand that was wielding the broadsword froze at this moment, and he felt a stinging pain in his throat as the blade passed through it.

"Am I...finally going to die?"

But death did not come. The illusion of a sea of ​​blood before his eyes was blocked by a light curtain as thin as a cicada's wing.

"Starry Barrier?!"

In the Sri Army, King Sri's expression suddenly darkened, and a hint of scarlet flashed in his eyes.

"Why? In Starfall City, there shouldn't be anyone who can be favored by the stars - that's not easy to come by. Could it be that the Son of Stars has broken through the restrictions of the contract? But that's not right. I clearly feel that he is dead!" King Sri did not act rashly. There was a slight bulge on his forehead. Threads of blood rose from the blood mud of the battlefield under his feet and pressed towards the newly appeared star barrier, as if he was sensing something.

After a few minutes, King Sri's expression gradually relaxed, revealing a hint of coldness:
“So, that’s how it is.”

"Xingluo City, borrowed some of the aura of the dead Star Child to forge this new barrier? But this barrier's foundation is insufficient. Do you really think this can delay its fate of destruction?"

Although the new starry barrier blocked King Sri's sword attack.

But the dead Starfall soldiers could never be resurrected. Fortunately, not too many Starfall soldiers died in the previous two sword strikes.

Under the arrangement of the Leper King, through the layout in Starfall City, the attack of King Sri was hindered with as few soldiers as possible. However, in the previous wars of King Sri, the Leper King had a deep understanding of the power of the sword that could massacre the army.

Under the defense of the Starry Barrier, the killing radius that can be created and the interval between King Sri's two sword draws have been judged and speculated.

"He still threatens to use the sword at least once."

In the center of Starfall City, in the shadow of a tall tower in the royal palace, Poro carefully sensed the oppressive feeling emanating from King Sri and made an estimate.

He understood that this sense of oppression came almost entirely from that strange sword.

After two almost consecutive blows, King Sri's sense of oppression finally weakened.

"It seems he won't swing the sword a third time."

In another building, Lake's eyes were also fixed on King Sri. She found that although King Sri was able to chop out the third sword, he did not draw his sword. He just put his hand on the hilt and slowly retreated.

Only countless Swiss soldiers protected him and charged forward.

“He’s very cautious.”

Lake and Princess Marlene beside him all looked gloomy. "The power in his sword is gradually recovering. He's waiting... We can't let him wait like this!"

"Will not."

At this time, Poro narrowed his eyes and noticed that not far away, in the direction covered by starlight, a woman with ordinary clothes, who looked like an ordinary woman, walked to the top of a building.

She is the queen of the leper king and an astrologer witch.

"King Sri has made many arrangements in Starfall City. King Sri attacked today. Now the starlight has been rekindled. Although the dead warriors cannot be resurrected, it is not so easy for him to leave!"

As soon as the words fell, several people saw a platform surrounded by sculptures on the top of the building.

The astrologer witch suddenly opened her hands and felt the pulse of her hands, but what flowed out was not blood, but a silver star-like light!
Then, the stars in the sky suddenly lit up at this moment——

No, not only that, all the mirror-like buildings in the entire Starfall City, reflecting the starlight in the sky, also bloomed brilliantly at this moment.

A magic circle.

The Poro stared at the dazzling light in the silver-white mirror and muttered to himself.

On the other side, King Sri looked at the illuminated buildings around him with a look of shock and madness on his face. Although he had already made some judgment on this, after dealing with the Star Child, he did not think that some magic that relied on starlight would have any effect on him.

After all, almost all of Starfall City's power comes from the Son of the Stars.

but now……

"Damn it!"

He cursed angrily and stopped retreating, because the silver-white walls on all sides suddenly lit up at this moment. As long as he was in Xingluo City, he would never be able to escape the range of this magic circle!

"Or do you think you can survive this way?"

Just before being drowned by the dazzling starlight, King Sri looked at the starry barrier not far away and drew his sword - the third sword!

In an instant, endless wails and blood-red wind suppressed the snow-white starlight.

The air suddenly became silent.

After this, the world regained its color, the starry barrier disappeared again, the sky became dim, and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

All of Sri Lanka's soldiers fell to the ground helplessly under the influence of the Starlight Magic Array.

Only King Sri was still standing on the ground. His eyes were red, he had two horns on his head, and his whole body was wrapped in creepy blood light. He had turned into a devil.

He stared at the Starfall City that had lost its barrier with a gloomy look, but did not move forward. Instead, he pressed the hilt of his sword and retreated step by step.

"Now, can I..."

Lake grabbed the Star Killer Sword and tried to stand up, but Poro held her back. "No, his sword still has some power left. It's not enough to slash like he did just now to destroy the barrier, but..."

After the third sword strike, Lake and Poro were no longer able to continue deploying the starry barrier.

But King Sri, who had not yet been driven to the edge of despair, was a devil—equally cunning and cautious.

"We must make him squander the last bit of power in his sword!"

There were already quite a few surviving soldiers from Starfall City who rushed towards King Sri.

"But without the starlight, those soldiers might not be able to force King Sri to use that sword..."

Lake could also see the battle situation clearly. King Sri, who had turned into a devil, definitely had great power!
"Trust them..."

But just as Poro was speaking, they saw an unexpected figure riding a warhorse and rushing towards King Sri!

"Wait, that's Oz?"

"What is he doing?! Why does he seem to be wrapped in... starlight?!"

Oz had somehow ridden a Starfall City warhorse, clad in silver armor. In his hand, he held a silver-white longsword used by the Starfall City soldiers.

But the most eye-catching thing is the starlight wandering all over his body!
"He also kept a portion of the Star Crystal for himself?!"

Lake also saw this, and as the holder of the Star Killing Sword, she could see more clearly the essence, "But he couldn't use it at all. He just activated the crystals and their own brilliance..."

"Is he going to—"

After hearing Lake's judgment, an idea suddenly appeared in Poro's mind.

Not far away, Oz was galloping on his horse, also waving a sword. The starlight wrapped around him matched the aura emanating from his body, as if he were a divine soldier sent from heaven, extremely mighty!
He rushed straight towards King Sri, brandishing his sword and shouting:

"Hahaha, did you know that the stars favor more than one person? Just like the prophecy, you will die today! Just now, you didn't expect the resurrection of the starry barrier, did you?"

Oz laughed loudly, and starlight wrapped around the sword in his hand, shining brightly. "But you did not die at the hands of the Son of the Stars, but by my sword!"

"what?!"

When King Sri saw this, his expression finally changed.

Of course, he knew about the so-called prophecy passed down by Starfall City, but he thought that as long as the Son of Stars was dealt with, all dangers would be resolved. But who knew that a second "Son of Stars" would appear in Starfall City?
The starlight on the person in front of him naturally caught the eyes of King Sri.

Those starlights are not illusions - they are real, and are no different from the power wielded by the Son of the Stars!
"Is it true..."

Thinking of this, King Sri's face suddenly changed. Without hesitation, he drew the blood-red sword from his waist again, his eyes gleaming with madness. "Impossible! You thought I had no power to resist, right? You're wrong! If you come out now, you'll be the one to fail!"
You, too, can't protect anything!"

The next moment, he swung his sword in the air, releasing the last of the power in the blood sword.

Not far away, Oz, who had just been galloping on his horse, froze. The next moment, countless slashes appeared on him at the same time, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

It was like a whole person turned into debris and plasma in mid-air in a millisecond.

"Oz—"

Lake's eyes widened, and her mind went blank, but then the Poro's voice rang out, "The time is now, kill King Sri!"

After King Sri swung his sword reflexively, he felt something was wrong, because this knight, who was covered in starlight and full of confidence, didn't even have time to resist or dodge his half-slash.

But he had no time to think about it. The next moment, an invisible airflow rushed out from the shadow under him.

The sword edge wrapped in starlight appeared out of thin air just when it was about to hit him.

"who!?"

The demonized King Sri was indeed very powerful, but even so, he still had time to cross the sword and block it in front of him——

But the next second, his head, along with half of the bloody sword, fell to the ground.
