Reject me, you damn woman.

Lilith on the throne spoke calmly to herself, as if she was passing judgment. For some reason, even though the last obstacle had been removed, her tone was neither sad nor happy.

But the next moment, her eyes widened and she was in a trance for a moment.

Because the fire did not go out!

The mountain composed of extraordinary puppets suddenly trembled, and all the blasphemer puppets desperately pulled their hands to activate the magic power, but those magic powers could not stop the flames, nor could they stop the girl's roar. Like a volcano erupting, like the earth cracking, endless light and flames burst out from the cracks, as if something was breaking free!

It’s reaching…the limit!

This thought flashed through Lilith's mind, but in the next moment, all the extraordinary puppets were overturned, and the girl buried in them stood up again, standing tall, and the fiery wind blew her red shawl, making it rustle.

But Lilith's eyes did not fall on Historia, but were attracted and shocked by the flaming figure behind her.

The one who escaped from the mountain was Historia, but not just Historia. Behind her, the scarlet fire actually condensed on its own and turned into a huge half-figure. It turned out to be a beautiful woman with long flowing hair and slightly upturned red lips. Every detail was lifelike.

She opened her arms and slightly embraced them, as if to protect or hug the girl in her arms.

Her eyes were infinitely gentle.

"What the hell...is this thing?!"

Panic finally appeared in Lilith's eyes, but it quickly turned into ferocity.

She pointed and gave the order again.

Whatever it is, get it down now!

Don't stand up in...

The puppets that were not completely destroyed by the flames stood up in a few pieces, ignoring their injuries and continuing to move closer to Historia.

But Historia did not look at those puppets.

She just looked at Lilith:

"Sister, this is all your cards, right?"

She grasped the flaming sword again:

"So, it's my turn, is that okay?"

"Get her for me!"

Lilith no longer cared about maintaining her image and roared out orders.

All the puppets rushed forward again!

But this time was different from before. Historia was no longer afraid of those crazy puppets who were willing to sacrifice their own lives.

She faced off against the puppets and charged towards the throne!

Because behind her, she is no longer alone.

The human figure also broke into flames that followed her, trailing behind her like a flaming cloak.

Lilith was also panicked. What was that...what was that thing? It was Historia, but it was definitely not just Historia!

That is an enemy that I must fight with all my strength!

The remaining puppets rushed forward.

The girl gripped her sword tightly and jumped around the throne room behind her. Every time she stepped, lava and flames burst out as she shuttled between the puppets.

This is the step of the "fire disaster" tearing the earth apart!

"Stop, stop!"

Realizing that they could no longer stop the girl by sheer numbers, all the puppets formed a human wall.

Historia clenched the flaming sword tightly, and the flames burned and recast it. The giant sword became a flaming spear. The spear was swung out, piercing through all the "walls" in one fell swoop!

This is the stabbing blow of "Residual Flame" that shatters all the barriers!

Almost none of the remaining puppets were intact. Historia climbed up the stairs and suddenly stopped. She lowered her head and saw a puppet hugging her calf tightly.

Without any hesitation, she threw the flaming spear in her hand. The next moment, the person and the sword switched positions, and Historia appeared beside Lilith.

This is the method of interchange between the same heart and same body of the "Flame Sword Twins".

There was fear in Lilith's eyes. She waved her hands vigorously, but was stunned.

Among the scattered puppets on the ground, there was no longer a single one that he could control.

Historia raised the flaming sword and slashed it down high.

boom!

The huge sword blade cut to a distance of about half a meter from Lilith, but it was as if it had hit an invisible barrier and could not cut any further. The horrific flames and impact cut through the throne room, and the throne and the surrounding steps began to burn, collapse, and even melt!

The two sisters stared at each other fiercely across the last obstacle - the invisible mental barrier.

"Why don't you fall down? Why do you stand up?!"

Lilith roared.

"Because I want to stop you. I promised that guy that I must stop you!"

Historia also roared, and the wind blew her long hair.

"It's ridiculous. You don't care about the destruction of the kingdom. You become like this just because of the death of one person. Are you worthy of being a king if you are so impulsive?!"

Lilith sneered and taunted.

"Because I'm not the king. I'm stupid. I can't even be that fierce me. I can't be the king!!"

"If you can't become king, die!"

"I will die. I killed him. I will go to His Majesty the Red Dragon to die, but not now. Before I die, I will stop you first!"

Historia clenched the blade with both hands, and she finally felt the resistance again. It was the mental barrier built by the Eight-Ring Arcanist. Even for her now, even though she had mastered many new skills, moves and powers, she could not break through it easily!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Lilith laughed wildly, she also realized this.

Without the puppet in the way, she could better utilize the defensive power of her mental barrier, and Historia could not break her defense.

At this moment, Historia was suddenly startled and stunned for a moment.

She felt as if someone patted her shoulder gently, and as if a woman with long fiery hair passed by her. When she turned around, she saw that there was no one behind her, but the sword in her hand was pressed down a little.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out, and the next moment, the barrier burst.

Historia didn't know what happened, but Lilith, who was sitting opposite her, saw it clearly.

It turns out that the legend is true.

Eighteen years ago, the woman who made the Magic Clock Tower return empty-handed, and the power that made King Cantrad, who was doomed to fail, turn the tables, all of these were real.

So I lost to...love?

And bonds?

Even if you are such a scoundrel, you can still lose.

What fucking bullshit.

but.........

well done,

Historia!

She closed her eyes and prepared to face this final sword.

The scorching fire blew Lilith's hair away. She opened her eyes and saw the blade of a giant sword hovering in front of her forehead, less than five centimeters away. With just a little force, it could behead her. And opposite her, there was a girl who was still trying to keep a straight face but with tears streaming down her face.

"Why don't you kill me?"

莉莉丝问道.

"Sister...sister?"

Historia said in a trembling voice.

"what?"

Lilith was stunned.

"Because you are.......the older sister."

Historia replied with a trembling voice.

"Are you humiliating me?!"

Lilith was furious, almost furious.

Historia's hands were shaking. Her reason told her to bring down the sword quickly. She understood everything, but her foolish instinct kept stopping her. Looking at the familiar face in front of her, she could not bring down the sword no matter what.

"I'm not your sister!"

Lilith said angrily.

But Historia just shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Lilith wanted to move backwards, but the sword followed her forward. She wanted to dodge to the left, but the sword immediately followed her, always staying some distance from her neck.

After repeating this over and over again, Lilith could only sigh.

After a long moment, she stammered, as if she was saying something.

Historia was so shocked that the hand holding the sword relaxed for a second.

Oops!

She cried out in her heart that something was wrong.

But it was too late. There was only a smile of success in Lilith's eyes.

A puppet with only half of its body left unburned crawled in front of the throne at some point, and taking advantage of the moment of relaxation, injected the potion in its hand into Historia's calf, which was not protected by armor.

In just a moment, the girl holding the giant sword fell down and could only stare at Lilith angrily. The flaming giant sword shattered and the puppet died due to excessive blood loss.

In the throne room, Lilith was the only one still standing.

There was no sadness or joy in her eyes. She sat back on the throne with a playful look in her eyes:

"Sure enough, children are just children."

In this battle, the one who laughs last is still yourself.

At this moment, a leisurely humming sound suddenly sounded. It was a sweet child's voice, humming a folk tune from the Fire Rose Country. It was a little crisp, a little rough, and a little funny and absurd out of tune.

This childlike tone, at this moment, in this ruined throne room, seemed particularly eerie.

Lilith's smile disappeared.

Because she knew that a nasty guy was coming.

A portal opened in the corner of the throne room. Outside the portal was the towering wall of Fire Rose. The little girl with white hair and red eyes jumped over the piers of the wall one by one like hopping on squares, and then jumped into the throne room with a "hey whoosh".

The Serpent of Fate looked at Lilith and gave her a thumbs up:

"Yeah, you're just as expected, buddy. I knew you could do it."

"If you were willing to come down earlier and help me, this would have been over a long time ago."

Lilith said coldly.

"You have to believe me, I want to help you,"

The Serpent of Fate explained,

"But this is your home ground. Until everything is settled, according to the All-Ring Agreement, I cannot act arbitrarily. Moreover, the Destruction Prophecy also needs me. I have to be outside to ensure that the prophecy will stay on track."

Lilith just snorted coldly:

"So, you have been paying attention to the situation here for a long time, but you didn't come out to take advantage of me until I won completely, right?"

"No, buddy. I just think it's very cool to see a big boss humming a little tune after the hero is exhausted. Of course, I know this is your home court. Besides, as I said, I'm mainly here to congratulate you. You've changed your destiny."

"destiny?"

Lilith wondered.

"Yes, fate, I want to congratulate you, Lilith, my friend, although you rejected my invitation to tell fortunes for you, but according to the flow of fate, you will always be at the end of the story."
