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

Aurora had already stood up, and the stars in her eyes had quickly reconstructed into the shape of the "Tree of Life".

"Aurora... please..."

Then, Xingmo released the scepter and returned the authority to Aurora.

Aurora tightly grasped the Spine of Saint Auros, feeling the power of faith returning to her body.

She raised her scepter high and murmured:

“A river flowing against the current will eventually return to brown earth.”

Then, she struck the scepter on the ground, and green ripples spread out—

"Om-"

Following Aurora's majestic words, the ritual began to reverse, and all the souls and lives taken away by the "Sweet Rain of the Great Tree of Rebirth" began to flow back, returning to their bodies.

In the square, the eyelids of the fallen teachers and students began to tremble. They opened their eyes confusedly and looked at the strange yet familiar world.

On the treetops, Lucius watched all this helplessly, his hands shaking constantly.

The green spell on his body had dimmed, and all the divine power was extracted and returned to Aurora.

"..."

Looking at the god who had regained power, Lucius gritted his teeth and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He seemed to have made up his mind and raised his wand towards Aurora, ready to fight to the death.

But at this moment, someone hugged him from behind——

"dad..."

Lucius's eyes suddenly lost focus, and his raised wand dropped slightly and fell to the ground.

He turned around and met Miriam's raised eyes - tears glistening in those eyes.

As the ritual that anchored her reversed, Miriam's spirit began to dissipate.

"That's enough... Dad..." Miriam put her head on Lucius' chest, closed her eyes, and smiled, "I'm very happy..."

"Milliam..."

Lucius hugged Miriam tightly, tears streaming down his cheeks that were eroded by the spell.

His crazy and paranoid appearance seemed to be shattered in an instant, like ripples on the water that dissipate and eventually return to calm.

Lucius suddenly seemed to turn back into the decadent and lazy middle-aged professor. He hugged Guang tightly in his arms, his voice choked with sobs.

"I really want to...keep you..."

Miriam raised her head and looked at her beloved father, the smile on her face becoming even sweeter:

"I love you, Daddy."

Then, her body shattered and turned into dissipating gold, flowing in all directions.

Lucius felt a sense of emptiness in his arms. He struggled and grabbed at the air, but then realized that he couldn't grab anything.

Reality finally broke the middle-aged man. He fell to his knees, covering his head, and muttered in a low voice:

"Milliam...what have I done..."

"..."

As the ritual gradually reversed, the giant tree of life standing in the center of Merlin Square gradually emitted green light, and the spiritual power that had taken shape dissipated.

Using up her last bit of strength, Aurora raised her authority and struck the ground again—

"clang--"

A green light flashed, and the entire academy was enveloped in light.

When the light faded, the huge Tree of Life had disappeared, and the three people standing on the treetop also returned to the ground.

Xingmo raised her head and saw that Aurora's body suddenly shook.

She hurried forward and caught Aurora's collapsed body, and they both collapsed on the stone bricks of Merlin Square.

"Is... it over?" Aurora looked tired.

"It's over, little ancestor...it's over..."

Xingmo gently pinched Aurora's cheek, a peaceful smile on her face:

"You saved everyone... everyone in the Citadel."

"Is that so... hum..."

Looking at the golden stars all over the sky, Aurora puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, as if she was a little unwilling.

But soon, she showed her signature bright smile:

"Then...then let's be a good god for once..."

After saying this, she closed her eyes and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

......

11) "Life" (Part 8)

At the main entrance of the White Pagoda, the girl holding an umbrella stopped and looked up at the pure white tower.

At this time, a green light lit up from the horizon, briefly covering half the sky like a tide.

Perlis turned her head and looked in the direction of Nefera Beta Magic Academy with a faint smile on her face.

"Did it work..."

Suddenly, her eyes moved, and her sight suddenly focused on the golden lights flying towards the starry sky.

Is that the soul of this world? It doesn't dissipate, but returns to the starry sky.

Well, let's do some good things.

Thinking of this, Perlis stretched out her hand towards the sky and gently grabbed it.

A white light flashed, and the golden light spot was immediately caught in her hand.

Looking at the golden light, Perlis murmured softly:

"Your name is...Miriam Phillips, right?"

"A noble soul..."

"I need you to do me a favor."

After saying that, Perlis pinched the light spots, turned around and entered the "White Tower".

Behind her, the rain in the academic city of Akademi gradually stopped, and the night sky became clear again.

What no one would notice was that some subtle changes had taken place inside the White Tower.

.....

"..."

As people in the square gradually woke up, the surrounding sounds became increasingly lively.

The first person to wake up was Professor Ling. Her hair and clothes were messy, and she looked around for a long time before she suddenly realized what had happened.

Although her appearance was in disarray, she still firmly fulfilled her duties as a teacher and began to direct the scene.

"..."

Xingmo looked at Lucius not far away. He was kneeling on the wet ground, staring blankly at the students who were getting up from the ground in a daze.

Those were the lives he once protected, but they were almost buried in his conspiracy and became victims.

Xing Mo couldn't see Lucius's face, so naturally she didn't know his expression at the moment. She only felt that the figure became familiar again, as if the mentor in her memory would turn around and greet her at any time.

"..."

Lucius lowered his head, looking at the ground where the residual warmth of the string array remained, his lake-blue eyes somewhat empty.

The footsteps came closer, and then there was that trembling voice:

"Lucius Phillips, put your hands up."

Lucius raised his head and saw Alice standing in front of him, her lips trembling but her eyes firm.

She held her wand up, pointing it at Lucius's forehead, where a fire was already brewing.

"..."

Lucius tossed his wand aside, then raised his hands and closed his eyes.

"The cage cannot hold me," Lucius murmured, "We are all in a bigger cage."

Alice didn't answer. She waved her wand, and chains made of fire wrapped around Lucius' wrists, binding him tightly.

At the side, the "Pastor of the Sea Tide" came over, his gray eyes looking at the tyrant in front of him with deep eyes.

"Is there any backup plan?" the pastor asked in a low voice.

Lucius shook his head:

"That's all there is to it."

Pastor Haichao nodded and waved his hand. Several awakened church guards came over and escorted Lucius to the other end of the square.

When passing by Xingmo, Lucius stopped and whispered:

"Protect your girl, Xiaomo. I failed to protect mine..."

Xing Mo raised her head and looked into the deep lake blue eyes again. This time she could not see the swirling vortex in them.

"Teacher..." Xingmo murmured.

Afterwards, Lucius was escorted away by the guards. Xingmo watched him all the way to the edge of Merlin Square and boarded a flying carriage.

"Xiaomo, are you okay?"

Xingmo looked up and saw Senior Alice coming to her, smiling tiredly.

"It's okay," Xing Mo nodded, "Senior, you..."

"I'm fine," Alice stroked the back of her hand thoughtfully, "just... a little tired..."

"Go back and rest..." Xing Mo looked at the tired eyes of the senior sister, "The rest of the matter will be handled by the church."

"The church? They just fainted, so how could they handle it?" Alice smiled. "I have to come and check on Vivian's condition..."

At this moment, a dragon howl that resounded through the night sky came from the Citadel - it was obviously the voice of Erlum.

"It's a message, saying Vivian is fine," Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That silly girl..."

"Senior Vivian is so strong, there will definitely be no problem." Xing Mo smiled.

"Then I'd better worry about you a little more," Alice said, turning her gaze to Aurora, who was sleeping in Xingmo's arms. "You and your silly girl, are you okay?"

"What do you mean by my home..." Xingmo's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Pfft, never mind. Tell me later," Alice smiled, covering her face. "I'm going to get busy now. Take care of her."

"Ah."

Xing Mo nodded, then watched Alice walk away to take charge of the situation in the square.

At this moment, she suddenly felt an itch on her neck. She lowered her head and saw Aurora closing her eyes - this guy had just opened one eye to peek.

"Stop pretending to be asleep, I saw it." Xing Mo smiled helplessly.

Aurora opened another eye, and her pupil reflected the golden stars in the sky, and of course, Xingmo's face.

She puffed up her cheeks slightly and muttered softly:

"Shouldn't you give us a proper apology?"

"What are you apologizing for? You want to destroy the academy..." Xingmo smiled bitterly.

"Whatever, the bad guy apologized."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault that I can't read minds."

Xingmo said this, using her index finger to straighten the white hair that was blocking Aurora's eyes, her face full of helplessness.
