He opened his arms again, and the lines on his body became brighter and brighter.

With him as the center, the floor tiles of the entire Merlin Square were gradually covered by a magic circle constructed by green light.

"Eight-string magic," Lucius intoned in his organ-like voice, "'Sweet rain from the great tree of rebirth'"

......

11) "Life" (Part 5) - 6k chapters - (3-in-1)

“‘The sweet rain from the great tree of rebirth’.”

The moment this word was uttered, something in the air suddenly froze.

The next second, as if a piece of paper was unfolded, the entire square was covered by a huge string magic circle, and complex symbols were rotating rapidly within the magic circle.

Without giving anyone a chance to react, Lucius took out the Angel's Tears and pressed it against his chest.

"Rumble--"

A black aura was emanated from his body, gradually turning green in the air, and then flew into the sky.

A pale green light lit up above the sky. Xingmo raised her head and saw continuous auroras floating under the night sky, like the skirt of a goddess.

Then, the rain came as expected.

"Crash-"

Each raindrop has a light green sheen, and when combined together they create a spectacle like a meteor shower, with a deep and tranquil atmosphere.

When the first raindrop fell on the ground, Xingmo heard a "plop" sound.

She turned around and saw that Senior Alice had fallen to her knees.

"Something's...wrong..."

Alice covered her forehead, her pupils suddenly dilated, and then she fell to her knees.

"Senior!" Xing Mo squatted down beside Alice and checked her condition.

His face was ashen, and his skin went from fair to pale, as if all the blood had been drained out.

Before Xingmo had time to think, she heard a "thump".

She turned around and saw that "Pastor Haitiao" had collapsed in the square, with no signs of life.

Around him, all the priests who came to his aid had collapsed to the ground, motionless.

They all lost their "life".

"How... could it be..."

Xing Mo's gaze swept across Professor Ling not far away, and then looked at the students farther away - everyone was lying on the ground, motionless, letting the heavy rain pour down on them.

She looked blankly at Lucius on the altar—the man was bathed in the heavy rain, with green light flashing in his eyes.

He looked at everything in front of him mercilessly, with no expression on his face, like a perfectly carved marble statue.

"All their lives have been returned to the giant tree," Lucius murmured. "With this, the sacrifices of life and soul have all been returned to their place."

"You did...what..." Xingmo murmured.

Xing Mo immediately understood the function of the "Sweet Rain of the Giant Tree of Rebirth": using a rain to deprive all life within the range, and then allowing these lives to return to the giant tree.

It was an indiscriminate rain, and everything would die without exception, from the birds in the sky to the life on the ground.

This is demigod-level magic, and it is also magic in the realm of life.

Xing Mo could feel something being pulled out of her body. She didn't fall to the ground and die, only because the brand on the back of her hand was burning -

——The mark of the "Tree of Life" saved her, and also saved Alice-senpai.

But even so, Senior Alice seemed to have lost her ability to fight, unlike Xingmo who could still stand up.

Is it because of my uniqueness? Is it because of that golden full moon?

No, none of that matters anymore.

The important thing is...

"You are the only one standing in my way, Xiaomo," Lucius murmured.

Bathed in this rain of life, Lucius seemed to have lost all emotions. Green wrinkles flowed across his body, converging to his pupils, making his eyes look like those of a wolf.

But that was not the look of a wolf while hunting, but the look of a wolf enjoying food after victory.

"..."

Xingmo stood up and walked towards Lucius.

As she walked, she swung her wand, and the "Spine of Saint Auros" turned into a cane, and the white bone cane was flowing with the luster of flames.

Xing Mo tapped the ground with his cane, and the crisp sound of the divine bone hit the ground, and the sound waves aroused played the six-string - "Authority of the Flame Spirit".

A circle of the sun appeared behind her, and then she grasped the middle of the wand with one hand and the head with the other hand—

"bass--"

A sword flashed like a blazing flame and was unsheathed. The dagger in the divine bone was caught in Xingmo's hand. The blazing light stream tore through the gray rain curtain and lit up Xingmo's golden eyes that seemed to have flowing lava.

Lucius watched Xingmo walk towards him calmly, and silently stretched out a hand. Green light outlined a tree-shaped spear in his hand, accompanied by the disembodied sound of birdsong.

The next second, the two figures broke through the rain curtain and rushed towards each other——

"boom--"

The divine bone dagger chopped on the tree-shaped spear. After only a second of stalemate, the golden blade light tore open the head of the spear.

Taking this opportunity, Xingmo quickly tapped the ground with his magic wand, and the chords of fire that were played caused a turbulent flow of flames to swirl around the blade.

Then, she thrust forward—

"boom--"

The violent flames engulfed Lucius, turning his figure into an afterimage.

Then, the green light tore through the flames, and Lucius still stood there, looking at Xingmo calmly.

"You've finally decided to kill," Lucius murmured. "You've never truly wanted to kill anything, but now you want to kill me."

Xing Mo didn't say anything. The lives that were taken away in the square were still vivid in her mind. Every pair of lifeless pupils made her feel sad.

She plucked the strings from the sheath of her staff, creating sparks from thin air, and then rushed towards Lucius along with those sparks.

Lucius casually pinched the air, grabbed a "string of life", and pulled it -

"Om-"

Xing Mo twisted his foot and fell to the ground, spitting out blood.

She plunged her sword into the ground and stood up with a roar:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Xingmo's body burst into flames and light feathers, and he quickly rushed towards Lucius, stabbing with his sword -

"boom--"

Lucius turned his head to avoid the sword blade, then grabbed the metal that looked like the sun with his hand.

Black mist burst out from his hands, making a sizzling sound, but there was no trace of pain in his eyes:

"That's enough, Xiaomo. You can't bring them back, but I can at least bring Miriam back."

The next second, Lucius waved his hand and directly knocked Xingmo away——

"Ahem..."

Xingmo fell to the ground and struggled to get up, just in time to see Lucius opening his arms towards the sky again.

He sang devoutly:

"Ah, the fog of chaos, the land of the disordered."

"The life behind your life, the world behind the world."

"I offer the lives of everyone in the Citadel of Academi as tribute. I beg you to look upon me!"

"Tear open the starry sky with your eyes, control the White Tower with your authority, and then..."

At this point, Lucius choked up:

"...Use their souls to play the 'Long-Sounding Starry Sea Bell'...Recall the soul of Miriam Phillips..."

In an instant, a terrifying roar was heard from the sky, followed by the sound of glass being torn.

Xingmo raised her head and saw a crack in the sky, with an eye peering in from outside.

What color is that eye... Xingmo can't express it in words...

That eye...what shape is it...Xingmo can't describe it with any concept...

Her intuition told her it was an eye... Then, she felt a blackout and fell to her knees in the square...

"Cough...cough cough..."

She could feel her cheek pressed very close to the wet tiles, and the coldness gradually seeped into her consciousness, making everything blurry.

......

"Crash..."

Torrential rain blanketed the streets of the entire Citadel, soaking everything.

On the street in front of the White Tower, Vivian's body swayed twice and then fell to the ground.

"Damn... Damn... How could this happen... Ugh..."

Vivian twitched in pain twice, and the silver armor on her body broke off piece by piece, revealing the girl's slender and soft curves, exposed to the heavy rain of flashing green light.

A flash of astonishment flashed across her vertical pupils, and then the light disappeared.

Around her, corpses covered in yellow robes were scattered everywhere. No one had ever crossed the street past her before.

"Boss, is she dead?" A yellow-robed wizard looked at Vivian's closed face and slowly lowered his raised wand.

Off to the side, Prince Austin emerged from the shadows of the street with a triumphant smile on his face:

"She's dying. Even a dragon wouldn't survive long in this rain of life."

Previously, Austin's men were stopped outside the White Tower by Vivian alone - she seemed to never fall, and she single-handedly killed one-third of Prince Austin's men.

But now, she was lying there, unconscious and defenseless.

"Lucius finally took action. He hesitated for so long, but in the end he couldn't resist the erosion of God..."

Prince Austin paced towards Vivian, pulling a knife from his sleeve.

He walked up to Vivian, squatted down, and put the knife to her fair neck:

“If it weren’t for God’s grace, we would all have died in this rain.”

"Then, let's use dragon blood as a sacrifice... to honor the gods..."

After saying this, Austin prepared to cut Vivian's throat with a knife.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something strange.

"...!"

Austin looked up at the street ahead.

At some point, a chair was placed in the middle of the street, alone.

A young girl was sitting on the chair with her back to Austin, holding a transparent umbrella. Her long pure white hair was faintly visible through the umbrella in the rainy night.

When did she sit there?

Austin felt something was wrong, so he stood up and motioned several yellow-robed soldiers to come forward and check.

A yellow-robed soldier stepped forward and shouted angrily at the girl:

"Hey, you! Are you..."

Before he could finish his words, he disappeared.

"...?"
