The smile on Austin's face became more and more obvious. He looked at Vivian and whispered:

"What if I say no?"

The next second, a wailing sound suddenly rang out from a corner of the hall—

"Uhhhhhh!!"

Vivian and Alice turned their heads sharply, only to see a gentleman falling to the ground with a scream, his chest ripped open and emitting black mist.

The black mist suddenly spread in the air, then instantly collapsed into a small dot and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, one guest after another fell to the ground, and their bodies all exploded as they fell to the ground, turning into black mist that expanded and contracted.

The entire banquet hall instantly turned into a dead sea of ​​black fog. Alice immediately opened her spiritual vision and found that the black fog did not disappear out of thin air, but was sucked away by a giant creature in the void!

From the spiritual vision, it was a huge, indefinite object flying at high speed in the spiritual world. Its magnificent power even shook the real world!

To drive such a powerful spiritual creature, one must rely on real media!

In just a moment, Alice shouted:

"Stop Prince Austin!"

She played the strings continuously, and hot sparks emerged from nowhere and flew densely towards Prince Austin.

"Ah..."

Prince Austin smiled slightly and snapped his fingers. The flames dissipated and turned into nothingness as they approached him.

He looked at the "bell keeper" below the platform with disdain and smiled:

"Only a sandstorm can stand against the wolves."

Alice quickly gathered her spiritual energy and shouted as she prepared to play the next string:

"Vivian, I'll cover you! You..."

But when Alice's eyes fell on Vivian, she was horrified to find that she was surrounded by black air.

"Alice...I..."

Vivian raised her head with difficulty, her face filled with pain.

At the same time, a tall figure appeared in the black mist behind Vivian, gradually transforming into an evil ghost wearing bronze armor.

——『Steam Man』.

"Do not..."

Before Alice could even raise her wand, the Steam Man thrust out his giant sword.

The bronze blade broke out from Vivian's chest, piercing her whole body, and the splattering blood was like a sea of ​​roses in the spring breeze.

“Gu…!”

A flash of astonishment flashed across Vivian's eyes, and then they became blank and empty.

......

Seeing the black string magic circle, Xingmo immediately waved his wand and created a scorching fire -

"boom--"

Flames filled Prince Austin's room, and the extreme high temperature tore through every inch of space inside. It was a temperature that was enough to melt everything.

But when the flames dissipated, the string formation was still there - its material carrier had disappeared, leaving only illusory black lines floating in the air.

"Aurora!" Xingmo pressed the mark on the back of her hand.

"So that's how it is. He wants to take away my power..."

Aurora's voice echoed in Xingmo's mind, sounding very pleasant and chilling:

"You can't destroy this string formation, and neither can we. This is a very ancient power, older than you think..."

"Why can he use the power of the 'Tree of Life'?" Xing Mo stared at the string magic circle in front of him.

"The authority of 'Life' is not only mine. That old god also possessed it, but he is now dead. Prince Austin is using the old god as a medium to try to take my power from the mark on your hand."

As Aurora spoke, a picture suddenly flashed before Xingmo's eyes: it was a bright golden sun, with a bird-shaped shadow reflected in its light.

The projection gradually collapsed and turned into a ball of black mist - a black mist that kept changing its shape.

The Golden Sun? The deity worshipped by the Imperials? And what was that cloud of mist behind it?

When Xingmo was stunned, Aurora's voice sounded again:

"'Invisible Mist'? Great... Now we know your name... It will be your turn later..."

Before Xingmo could ask another question, Aurora spoke rapidly:

"There's no need to rush now. It's all in vain anyway. We can retreat now. The spiritual anomaly you just noticed is a mythical creature summoned by Black Heart. It's already a servant of Prince Austin."

"With that monster and the Steam Man, you have no chance of winning. Run away."

"'Steam Man'?" Xing Mo blurted out, "What did you say..."

At this time, Xing Mo heard bursts of screams coming from outside the banquet hall.

She immediately kicked off her high heels, and her little feet wrapped in white silk ran quickly on the red carpet, and soon came to the door leading to the terrace.

Xing Mo pushed open the door and looked at the banquet hall from the edge of the terrace, just in time to see the condensed black fog.

She saw the silhouette of the "Steam Man" emerge from the black mist and pierce Vivian with a sword—

"Varied..."

Xingmo subconsciously wanted to shout, but immediately controlled herself.

She watched helplessly as the Steam Man raised the sword that had pierced Vivian, then swung it violently, flinging Vivian's rag doll-like body across the hall—

"boom."

Vivian fell against the wall and bounced back onto the red carpet, motionless.

Those empty blue eyes stared blankly at the devastated hall in front of them: the guests in the hall exploded into black mist one after another, the priests of the church fought aimlessly, and then were swallowed by the black mist one after another.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the banquet stage, senior sister Alice was waving her wand, her flying red hair making her look a little crazy.

"This is a trap. Everyone here is dead. No one can escape," Aurora's voice rang out again. "The Star Sea Church has lost. Prince Austin has won completely."

"..."

Xing Mo stared blankly at Senior Alice, watching her shout Vivian's name, watching her wave her wand, and the magic made of raging fire attacked the "Steam Man" like a torrential rain, but it was unable to break his defense at all.

Senior will die.

Without hesitation, Xingmo flipped out of the terrace and landed steadily on the ground with the help of Chifeng.

She rushed towards Alice, strumming three strings along the way, and crushing the fiery halo that condensed in her hands—

——『Eyes of Light』.

"Om-"

The "Steam Man" once again blocked the flames shot out by Alice, swung the bronze giant sword in his hand, and slashed at Alice.

Alice raised her staff to prepare for the attack, but at that moment, a series of sparks flew through the air and hit the Steam Man—

"boom--"

The Steam Man stumbled back two steps, and before he could turn around, Alice seized the opportunity to unleash a vortex of fire, hitting him—

"boom--"

The smoke and dust engulfed the "Steam Man". Alice looked up suddenly and saw Xingmo running towards her.

"Xingsheng?" Alice murmured, "Why are you..."

"Senior, get down!"

Xing Mo shouted, and almost at the same time, the black smoke dissipated, and the bronze sword light came like a wave -

"boom--"

Alice nimbly rolled over, dodging the Steam Man's slash and raising her wand.

Xing Mo also raised his wand at the same moment, and the next second, they both shouted at the same time:

"'Pure Yang Dragon Flame'!"

The shamisen played, and two streams of frenzied dragon flames shot out from two different directions towards the "Steam Man," completely engulfing his form.

This is the fire of dragons—dragons whose roar alone can unleash the power of chords of fire, a fire that cannot be controlled, spawned for pure destruction.

On the high platform, Prince Austin looked at the feast in front of him with a smile and clapped his hands gently.

Seeing that most of the church priests in the banquet hall had been killed, he raised his wand and created green light patterns in the air:

"Buzzing..."

Black mist emerged from every corner of the hall, gathered around Prince Austin, and enveloped him.

"'Song of Death', my servant." Prince Austin murmured.

Then, he suddenly flew upwards, broke through the ceiling in an instant, and flew away.

"boom------"

After a few seconds, the dragon flame dissipated, and Xingmo immediately ran to Senior Alice's side and raised the staff with her.

Alice glanced at Xingmo and said nothing, but whispered:

"You go after Prince Austin, he must pay the price..."

"No, you can't handle the Steam Man alone," Xingmo said, "Let's repel it first."

"If Austin escapes, more people will be sacrificed!" Alice's tone was no longer calm. "Hurry, go after him. I know you can..."

She suddenly realized how much she trusted the schoolgirl next to her - even though she was just a freshman, even though she only played the sanxian, Alice just believed in her.

Alice had vaguely sensed something.

She even noticed Xing Sheng's next words:

"No, I'm not leaving."

Xing Mo shook his head, his eyes filled with golden light like lava.

At the same time, the figure of the "Steam Man" reappeared. His giant sword had melted into molten iron. At this time, he was empty-handed, and the steam alchemy array on his body was constantly spitting out steam.

Along with the steam, unstable flames emerged out of nowhere, eager to tear the two people in front of them apart.

"..."

Alice said nothing more as she twirled her wand and golden flames emerged around her.

"Then let's finish quickly..."

She twirled her wand gracefully, lighting five strings in the air like a virtuoso, her eyes transitioning from dark red to gold.

Suddenly, the entire space was filled with illusory patterns, and crying sounds seemed to be coming from a distant place.

Five-string magic, "Words of the Bird of Prey."

7) Red Epiphyllum (Part 10) -4k chapter-

"Words of the Herald Bird", a "Saint" level magic from the Fire String Realm.

When Alice plucked the five strings, the faint sound of crying began to distort the space, and from time to time, pale golden sparks emerged from thin air.

The herald bird was believed to be a prophet of death and was said to arrive near a location before death occurred, making a crying sound.

"The Words of the Bird of Prey" is such magic—it affects an area with a radius of several dozen meters around the caster, filling that space with distorted cries.

These cries will announce the death of the person being cast within one minute. Golden flames will bloom in the soul of that life, using extreme entropy to transform its soul into chaotic spiritual fragments, and then destroy it.

"Buzz-"

Alice released all her spiritual power and continued to pluck the five lit strings in the air with her magic wand, causing the surrounding space to become increasingly distorted.

The "Steam Man" was obviously aware of the impending threat. The pipes on his body quickly spewed out steam, and flames condensed and formed in the air.

We must buy time for the senior.

Xing Mo thought about it, not caring about exposing herself, and played four strings in succession. The magic wand bloomed with golden and red light——
