People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

"...!"

Before Gray could answer, the Skeleton King rushed over and swung down with his sharp claws!

"ha--!"

Gray blocked it with the Grim Reaper's Scythe, then took a deep breath and continued to extract magic power, condensing a strong stream of light directly on the scythe blade.

"Hmph." The Skeleton King clenched his claws, blocking the conduction of energy, and the magical light of the Scythe of Death was extinguished in an instant.

Then, she held Gray's sickle tightly and raised one foot...

not good!

Gray was no match for her opponent at this moment...or rather, she was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength and skills, and she couldn't even withdraw her weapon in time, so she had to give up the stalemate and retreat in time.

But the Skeleton King had predicted her next move, so when she raised her foot she was not trying to kick anyone, but rather - she was condensing a light cannon.

The Skeleton King was in a state of almost complete dragonization, so his magic power level was several times higher than Gray's. In just a moment, her raised toes gathered the magic power flow from all parts of her body for support.

The shining magic particles are extremely compressed and rotated until they reach a critical point, and then kicked out!

"boom--!"

The magic power was released in an unprecedented wide-area bombardment, and the powerful, wide-ranging light cannon instantly covered Gray's multiple escape routes.

No... What should I do? ... Gray thought several times and finally decided not to retreat. Besides, she couldn't avoid it, so she might as well confront it head-on.

Dragon blood rushed through her body, and she heard a rumbling sound in her ears. Gray's limbs and torso once again showed dragon-like characteristics...

"—"

The next moment, her whole body was buried in a torrent of light.

When the smoke cleared, the Skeleton King saw that Gray's clothes were torn, but her torso was almost intact.

"I see. You noticed that my attack force was too dispersed, so you used concentrated magic power to defend yourself?"

Gray was panting slightly, her whole body felt as if it was burned by flames. Even the slightest movement of her body was accompanied by a continuous tearing pain.

“But, do you have enough strength to take the next move?” said the Skeleton King, as if announcing his opponent’s defeat.

Gray suddenly discovered that the Skeleton King's figure twisted and flashed closer, several times faster than before.

Then his mouth gradually opened, and a terrifying energy reaction condensed in front of the Skeleton King's face.

That was... no, that was different from Gray's first rampage move. The light condensed by the Skeleton King was even more violent. When it first appeared, it stirred up the atmosphere and caused a storm. It was simply the incarnation of the "Anchor of Storms"...

"That is——the strike of light from the 'Holy Spear' you hold!"

The Corpse King's voice undoubtedly confirmed Gray's suspicion.

"You can't liberate it here (mind) because you still can't perceive its essence, let alone use it like me--"

"Let it end!"

The light shining at the end, with power that no one could resist, stirred up a storm, covering the sky and the earth, releasing terrifying light and heat, and destroying the range of vision that Grey could perceive.

"..."

The Skeleton King quietly came to the fallen Gray.

Gray is not dead yet. In the spiritual world, she can only be knocked down, but not defeated. As long as she still has her own persistent belief.

"Are you still not going to admit defeat? Your faith is weak, but your mind is stubborn. If you can't control your power like this, you will be a burden to everyone. Why don't you just hand it over to me—"

Suddenly, Gray slowly reached out and grabbed one of the Skeleton King's feet.

"I won't admit defeat... Teacher, I will never give in to you..."

Chapter 78: Past events become old wine, and in the next life, new words are brewed

Subtitle: "Let's get started, the last dance"

Dream-3rd floor, Eden’s performance.

When the song ended, the whole audience cheered.

Ling's body was right next to Qin Xuan. Her cherry hair was a little messy because she was too excited, and there was a little sweat on her temples and snow-white neck.

As she imitated the fans in clapping and jumping for joy, her immature and newly developed figure was slightly revealed as her clothes swayed.

"bell……"

Suddenly, she felt Qin Xuan holding her hand. Perhaps influenced by the lyrics of Eden or the atmosphere of the performance, she began to have inexplicable associations, "Brother Qin Xuan..."

"us--"

Qin Xuan was just about to say something like "Let's run away quickly, something is wrong", but before he could react, a new situation arose.

The scene before my eyes changed instantly.

No, no, the location is still the stage of Eden, but it seems that an unknown time has jumped in an instant. The Eden on the stage is gone, the noisy audience is gone, but the spotlights, props, and camera crew are still running.

But this was not the reason why Qin Xuan was surprised.

What was really surprising was that Qin Xuan and Ling were actually in the center of the stage. Qin Xuan and Ling's regular clothes had also been changed into exotic ethnic costumes that did not exist in this world.

Qin Xuan didn't know much about clothing, but this uncut drape and the various drapes and folds were somewhat similar to the clothing style of ancient Greece.

Were they...acting out some kind of script? Was this the result of his meddling with the dream?

Ling also felt a little confused and uneasy at this time, but she was not too frightened. Ling probably thought it was Qin Xuan's "new magic".

Qin Xuan couldn't explain it himself anyway, so in order to reassure the little girl, he whispered, "It's a new magic, you can think of it as a stage play arranged by Eden for us—"

As if to confirm his words, the spotlights turned off and the curtains closed.

Then, the narrator, Eden, began to sing:

[In this world, the light of the sea of ​​stars always guides people, but also confuses them]

[The girl who worries about her life, the woman who is crazy about love, both are shrouded in the same light...]

At this time, the curtain rose and the lights illuminated the opposite side of Qin Xuan. Ling's little face looked excited or nervous.

[That day, He woke up from the box, and people who were struggling to survive saw the light of hope.]

[He asked, what do you want?]

[People say that we need rain. Without rain, crops cannot survive, and without crops, there will be no harvest.]

[He replied, then offer the rain-praying witch. ]

[The people then sacrificed a pure girl, and then watched with great joy as heavy rain poured down upon the parched earth.]

【However, from now on, the gears of misfortune can start turning. 】

The light turned and shone on Ling first.

Ling seemed surprised by her appearance, and then she felt her body moving involuntarily. A long knife appeared in her hand, and she swung it skillfully, slashing at the silhouettes of beasts that flashed past her eyes one after another, like extras.

It was as if the "script" had been rehearsed countless times.

"Sister..." Ling looked at her own body's skillful movements and couldn't help but think of her sister.

[A merciless disaster came. The drought was gone, but a wild beast never seen before came. People prayed again, and then the girl in front of them was the shrine maiden chosen by God to perform the exorcism. ]

[The meteor flies by, quietly in the darkness, foreshadowing the future of fireworks. ]

"Alas……"

The scene in front of Ling was replaced by a forest and a stream, and a foreign boy (played by Qin Xuan) lay in front of her. According to the script, Ling rescued him.

The two lived together.

The boy only remembered that he was a prince from a foreign country who came from afar to kill evil spirits. However, he accidentally fell into a coma after the crusade and drifted all the way here.

[Who did the prince shoot the arrow of star (love) at? What did the witch foresee in the light of the star? ]

[Ahh, that is an unavoidable fate (love)...]

Then, a prince appeared among the people.

He assisted the witch in exorcising demons and eliminating disasters, and his fame rose rapidly. At the same time, he fell deeply in love with the witch.

However, one day, the prince came across a starving man on the road and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?"

People nearby explained, it turns out that... relying solely on purification is far from enough to quell the disaster.

[As if testing people, difficulties and obstacles continue to fall from the sky. ]

[People started praying again, and He just said, "Offer a sacrifice."]

【People have no doubt about God's will and can only obey silently. 】

One day, the witch sighed and said, "Ah... Even if I know this sad fate..."

At this time, the prince suddenly arrived and asked: "Why do you ignore the people's cries? Why do you take away their children?"

Miko: "Everything is God's will, it has always been like this..."

Prince: "God's will, is it necessarily right?"

Miko: "There has been no change since ancient times."

Prince: "Then I will rebel against God."

A crack appeared in the relationship between the two.

[In a new round of sacrifices, people no longer have sacrifices that satisfy Him.]

[Offering a shrine maiden will be the only option. 】

People tied the witch to the altar and prepared to light the fireworks. At the same time, "Him" came.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow took the opportunity to shoot and pierced the god.

"Evil demon, die!" It turned out to be the prince. He had been lurking nearby, vowing to get rid of the evil god who devours human lives.

The arrow of the stars shattered his form, but it also released the endless disaster that was originally exorcised.

The disaster turned into countless flames, burning all the people.

The witch escaped the disaster on a high platform. She looked at the sea of ​​fire and prayed to God while crying.

God said, a new form is needed.

The witch said that she was willing to become a divine body.

Then, he possessed the witch and used his remaining strength to throw the unconscious prince far into the stream, and cursed the people who were already beyond help with disaster.

People survived, but they will be haunted by disaster forever.

Finally, the witch's wish was fulfilled, but her mortal body had already collapsed, so she had to be sealed in the original box, waiting for someone to wake her up.

And the prince finally drifted here again one day.

Ah, this gear of misfortune (the wheel of fate) is the oracle (fate) that never changes.

[Beside the celestial sphere...]

【Only the stars are twinkling. 】

----------

The show is over.

Qin Xuan was fine, he just treated it as an immersive holographic movie experience, but Ling, as the first female lead, was so moved by her own performance that she burst into tears.

"Ring, this isn't true..."
