The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

Xingmo used his magic wand to draw a sun, playing six strings along the way, and golden flames suddenly erupted -

"boom--"

The turbulent flow of flames rushed towards Lucius, but Lucius just waved his wand and the black light shattered the flames:

"It rained heavily at her funeral!" Lucius howled, "and no one remembered her!"

"I remember her!" Xingmo shouted.

"But you chose to betray her!" Lucius's expression turned ferocious.

The two of them played the strings at the same time again, and the golden lightning blade and the red sparks collided with each other like two tsunamis flowing in completely opposite directions, and brilliant light exploded continuously.

At this moment, through the rain of light, both of them saw ferocity in each other's eyes.

Under the cover of night, teachers and students turned against each other.

"boom--"

Another round of collision ended, Xingmo snapped his fingers and rushed forward, dragging the flaming feather.

A "Star Blade" condensed on the bone staff, and the golden light pierced through the dust and stabbed towards Lucius—

"clang--"

The golden blades collided, sparks flew everywhere, and a "Star Blade" condensed on Lucius' wand, which was in a stalemate with Xingmo's blade.

"Have you forgotten? I taught you all this!" Lucius growled, "You are my student!"

Xingmo didn't say anything. She rubbed sparks from her fingertips, and a series of flames exploded, knocking Lucius back a few steps.

At the same time, she released "Sleeping Night" in an attempt to pull Lucius into a deep sleep.

"Buzzing—"

Lucius stumbled a little, then quickly came to his senses, his eyes gleaming with a pale green light:

"Get out!"

Along with the roar, Xingmo felt dizzy and the brand on the back of his hand burned rapidly.

Suddenly, she heard Aurora crying again - weak and small, like an abandoned kitten.

"Aurora!"

Xingmo raised her head and finally heard the source of the crying - right above the crown of the giant tree.

"You don't know what it feels like!" Lucius yelled at Xingmo, "I was forced to cooperate with the murderer who killed my daughter and was forced to work for those conspirators, just in exchange for a glimmer of hope today!"

"'The Court of Redemption' promised my daughter a new life! For this... I can give everything!"

"I will pluck the stars! Let Miriam's soul return to the world!"

Lucius said, opening his arms, his black windbreaker disintegrating into feathers of light inch by inch.

His upper body was exposed to the night sky—green lines had already covered his muscles, forming spells that revealed both evil and sacred meanings.

Black mist emanated from behind him, repeatedly swirling around his body, but even so, a little blood still flowed out of his mouth and nose.

Lucius uses the power given by the "Invisible Mist" to contain the godhead of the "Tree of Life", thereby driving the divine personality!

But the price is...

"Teacher...you will die..." Xingmo murmured.

Why would he be so foolish? Sacrifice the entire Citadel, and then himself, just to pluck a star from the sky?

As if he understood Xingmo's eyes, Lucius smiled again:

"Dad, you're supposed to pick the stars for your daughter..."

Another wave of spiritual pressure came, and Xingmo fell to the ground again, unable to get up.

Lucius turned his head, aimed at the branches of the giant green tree, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and then slowly separated them.

"Buzzing—"

The trunk of the giant tree of light was torn open, revealing a gaping hole.

The hole grew larger as Lucius moved, gradually revealing the magnificent building behind it.

——'White Pagoda'.

Lucius tore a hole in space, leading to the "White Tower"!

He wants to use the connection between the White Tower and the starry sky to complete the final stage of ritual magic!

"No!"

Xing Mo burned the spiritual power in his body, trying to break free from the shackles of the pressure, but he was unable to match it.

At this moment, as if inspired by some mysterious force, Xing Mo raised his head and looked towards the top of the "White Tower".

In an instant, golden stars flashed before her eyes——

"...!"

Xing Mo felt her heart beating rapidly, and at the same time, a golden full moon was outlined deep in her pupils.

Everything before my eyes seemed to turn pure crimson for a moment, and then turned into gold the next moment—

"boom--"

Xing Mo broke through the constraints of spiritual pressure. At the same time, golden starlight pierced the black sky and fell towards Merlin Square.

The golden moonlight tore through the barrier outside the square, briefly creating small gaps.

Lucius turned around and was stunned when he saw the golden full moon in the depths of Xingmo's eyes.

"How is it possible..." Lucius murmured, "You..."

He didn't hesitate any longer, but opened his arms, drawing strength from the giant tree of light behind him, and guided the green meteors towards Xingmo—

"Boom boom boom——"

Xing Mo was about to use protective magic when a golden wall of fire fell from the sky.

"boom--"

The wall of fire blocked Lucius' attack. Xingmo looked up and saw Senior Alice flying over with a group of church priests and landing beside her.

The gap created by Xing Mo finally gave the reinforcements from the "Xinghai Church" the opportunity to enter Merlin Square!

"Xiaomo!" Alice ran over and helped Xingmo up.

"Senior..." Xingmo breathed repeatedly, "How is St. Auros Cathedral?"

"Don't worry, I've already dismantled the explosive string array in there," Alice explained quickly. "Arranging those things was Isabella Ducep's personal act and has nothing to do with the church..."

"It's not important," Xing Mo stood firm, "Right now..."

The two raised their heads and looked at Lucius not far away - he was looking at Xingmo and Alice with complicated eyes, with sadness hidden deep in his eyes.

"Teacher..." Alice's throat trembled slightly, "Stop..."

"Alice, you know I'm stubborn," Lucius murmured, "Originally, you didn't have to pay the price..."

After saying this, his eyes hardened and he raised his wand as if he had made up his mind.

But at the same time, silver-white lightning struck from the side——

"Zizzi-"

Lucius was hit by the electric snake, but his body showed no signs of being shaken.

He tilted his head and saw the 'Sea Tide Priest' flying towards him from a distance, his old eyes expressionless.

"Don't get in my way!"

Lucius roared, driving the power of the black mist towards the priest. The black mist collided with the lightning, and the former instantly swallowed the latter.

"呲呲呲——"

At the moment when the "Tide Priest" was about to be swallowed by the black fog, he suddenly pulled up and broke through the wind, but the black fog seemed to have life and followed him, rising together.

At this time, the priests of the church waved their wands, and chains made of golden light pierced Lucius and entangled his hands and feet.

But Lucius just struggled slightly, and green light burst out, instantly shattering the chains.

Before the priests could act again, Lucius reached out and grabbed a string of green light out of thin air.

——『String of Life』.

"what!"

The priests screamed, then fell to the ground and passed out unconscious.

Lucius didn't stop. He turned his head and immediately locked onto Alice's golden eyes.

"No! Alice!"

He roared and played the strings quickly, and in an instant he played the "reverse chord pattern" of "The Words of the Herald Bird".

Alice only felt a pain in her chest, and the spiritual power that had originally surged out could not be retracted, causing her to almost suffocate.

"I'm your mentor!" Lucius roared. "You want to use the tricks I taught you against me?"

Hearing this, Alice smiled slightly:

"We...of course we have tricks outside of the classroom."

Lucius frowned and soon discovered the difference -

——Xingmo is gone.

At the same time, Lucius's feet were pulled by some force. He lowered his head and saw Xing Mo sticking his body out from the quotation with the "Star Blade" condensed in his hand.

Without giving Lucius a chance to react, Xingmo yelled:

“‘Submission’!”

Lucius only felt the pressure coming from the sky. He did not kneel down because he was about to receive the godhead, but he also missed the first reaction time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xingmo pierced Lucius' chest with the "Star Blade" -

"Pfft-"

Blood gushed out, Lucius looked down at the blade of light piercing his chest, and slowly smiled:

"You're so ruthless, Xiaomo."

The next second, he stretched out his hand and grabbed something in the air, and reality shattered like a lens.

Xing Mo blinked and found herself back to where she was more than ten seconds ago, still stuck in the state where Alice had just helped her up.

——This is a dream created by Lucius using the power of "Life"!

"It's too late. I've already established contact with the White Tower," Lucius muttered. "Now, even if Merlin himself were here, he couldn't stop me..."

Looking at Xingmo and Alice, who were still confused, Lucius smiled helplessly:

"I'm sorry... I have to..."

"It's too late, Master."

Xingmo raised her head and looked towards the top of the White Tower:

"The sixth string magic array is ready."

All of this was already within Xingmo's expectations!

The moment reinforcements arrived, Lucius would have only one motive for his next action—to buy time and give himself a chance to establish contact with the White Tower.

Using the authority of "life" to create dreams is the simplest way.

So, the moment he saw Alice, Xingmo pressed the mark on the back of his hand and gave Elmo a signal -

——Activate the backup plan in the No. 6 string magic array to cut off the connection between the "White Tower" and all churches!

"Buzzing—"

White light suddenly emerged from the top of the "White Tower", and the light stripped away a certain power that had been flowing on the tower for years, and dissipated with the wind.

"No!" Lucius yelled.

"Teacher, it's time to stop!"

"Don't even think about it," Lucius turned around frantically, "Don't even think about stopping me!"
