People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

"Nothing will be done to me for what I just said."

"..."

Blaze didn't say anything when he heard this, but glanced at Reinhardt slightly.

Blaze felt very satisfied and comfortable with this praise for Lani. There were not many comrades like him who had no prejudice against Lani and shared the same ideals.

"...Okay, Gunther, Lani is still waiting for me. I'll talk about that next time."

With that, Blaze took Reinhardt away.

Watching them walking away, Gunther was still a little worried, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.

Pray in your heart—

I hope that Princess Lani really wants to talk to Reinhardt about something.

43.Sun and Dark Moon

Gunther's concerns are not unfounded.

Because Reinhardt seemed to have forgotten something about Blaze's identity.

Blaze is not only a shadow beast serving the god-like Lani and a companion who grew up together, but also a sharp knife in Lani's hand and a dedicated executioner.

Specially responsible for clearing out hidden dangers or traitors within the royal family.

Simply put, Blaze won't allow anyone to betray Lani, not even himself.

Moreover, Reinhardt seemed to have forgotten that this [Moon Princess] Rani was not a good person either.

For example, the scene that is happening right now.

Standing on the huge pyroxene crystal, Lani looked down at him with her back to the moonlight.

Due to the light, Reinhardt could not see Lani's face clearly. The only thing he could see was the pair of eyes as bright as stars staring at him from under the wide witch's hat.

Behind Lani, a dark moon was rising slowly. A huge amount of magic power was flowing through the body of this petite princess, and her bright red hair was even more dazzling under the light of the dark moon.

The pressure of the demigod descended upon this land in an instant, and the clouds that were looming in the sky disappeared into thin air, revealing the brilliant starry sky.

"...Your Highness Lani, what are you planning to do?"

Reinhardt seemed to be stimulated, his muscles tensed, and he secretly held the leather bag containing Chapolili grapes in one hand and the pyroxene Kris dagger in the other.

The aura that Lani was emitting now was not good, extremely bad. It felt as if she could completely overturn this land with just a wave of her hand.

But even he himself didn't know why it turned out like this.

All he knew was that just now, Blaze took him back to the royal moon-viewing spot, then brought him to the door leading to the back mountain and stopped, letting him go in by himself and head to the Three Sisters Magic Tower.

He said that Lani was waiting for him there.

To be honest, because he had played the game, he knew that Lani was indeed in one of the three sisters' magic towers, so he didn't think too much about it and just did as Blaze instructed.

As a result, when he was halfway along the way, he saw the figure of the princess.

It seems like he has been waiting for me for a long time.

But before he could say anything, Lani took action first, leading to the current situation.

However, Lani did not answer his question. Instead, she released the magic power in her body and manipulated the laws she possessed.

In the blink of an eye, the scenery in front of me changed subtly.

The originally bright stars gradually dimmed, and the dark moon that was powerful enough to swallow all the light replaced the full moon and hung in the sky.

The icy magic formed mist and the deep darkness blew over, spreading across the earth as if to devour everything. The dew-covered grass was instantly frozen by the icy mist, and everything around was covered in white frost and shrouded in darkness.

Not only that, this chill soon surrounded him.

The coldness that could almost freeze the soul climbed over his body, trying to invade his body.

Reinhardt felt that he had to do something now, even though Lani had once been one of his most beloved wives.

Then, he took out the pyroxene Kris dagger from his sleeve and swung it violently, making a sound of breaking wind.

"Your Highness, Lani, I'm sorry."

Starlight!

Along with the surge of magic power and the brilliance emitted by pyroxene, a star like a morning star emerged from above his head, dispelling the darkness and coldness like a blazing flame.

The fiery magic restored life to the earth.

Although it was only a small area around him, it was evenly matched with the Dark Moon and Coldness of Princess Lani.

It was as if Lani was in the depths of night, while he was in the day.

Darkness devours light, and light gradually illuminates darkness. The two resist and eliminate each other.

But strangely, Reinhardt felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart towards the rising huge dark moon, as if it was resonating with him.

Even his starlight magic was expanding. The starlight, which was originally only the size of a ping-pong ball, had now expanded to the size of a fist, and the light was becoming more and more dazzling.

His body was gradually bulging again, from the muscles of a top athlete to the style of a bodybuilding coach, completely supporting the blue magic robe on his body, even becoming a little shorter, outlining a strong line.

Reinhardt could clearly see that the knotted muscles contained previously unattainable strength and magic. The sound of the heartbeat became clearer and clearer. Every contraction released a huge amount of energy, like a furnace.

The surface of the body seemed to emit a faint invisible light, and its shape was like fireworks.

At this moment, he felt that he could compete with the group of Furnace Knights and was capable of splitting mountains and crushing rocks.

But it seems that there is still room for improvement, and it is still far from the limit.

When he raised his head again and looked at the Dark Moon Princess who was standing high above him on the pyroxene, the vigilance in his eyes had disappeared, and there was only calmness as still as a pond.

However, this indifference was not a contempt for Lani, but rather that he did not feel any hostility towards Lani.

And until now, Lani has not taken any other action except displaying her Dark Moon Law.

If you want to take action, the best time is the moment he changes.

After all, this isn't some hot-blooded comic, and no one will wait until you've transformed before taking action.

"...Oh, that's good."

Just as he guessed, Lani had no intention of taking action. Instead, she waved her hand and immediately dispersed the dark moon behind her.

It was as if time had gone back, the darkness receded like a tide, and the earth shrouded in darkness appeared again, regaining its vitality.

It's like nothing happened.

However, it was not only Lani's law that was dispersed, but also the starlight above Reinhardt's head.

As the dark moon vanished, the starlight trembled faintly, seemingly unable to maintain its form. Finally, with a loud bang, it exploded and scattered, with dots of fluorescent light falling to the ground and finally disappearing into the soil.

And Reinhardt's body began to deflate and returned to its original state.

Even the weak invisible flame was retracted into the body and disappeared.

"Excuse me, can you tell me what exactly you want to do?" Reinhardt asked indifferently, with a hint of anger in his voice.

This is inevitable. Anyone who suddenly encounters a threat of this magnitude will not feel good.

"...Sorry, or maybe I was too willful and gave you a little test."

As if teleporting, Lani's figure appeared on the nearby stairs in an instant, with her wide witch hat slightly lowered, expressing her apology to him.

"So, what's the result?"

"...Well...I guessed the same."

Moving again, Lani appeared in front of him. It was also the first time that Lani stood in front of him with her petite body.

Although this height only reaches his chest.

Lani slowly raised her head and looked up at him. "...Reinhardt, your existence is truly marvelous. You possess laws similar to mine, yet different."

As she spoke, she slowly lowered her gaze again, stretched out her fingers and gently pressed on his chest, as if feeling the power surging in his body.

"Warmth and heat, a magnificent power from the starry sky, yet it also represents death and the disappearance of all things..."

Having said this, Lani's voice suddenly stopped. She slowly raised her head again, looked into his eyes, and said softly:

"A law once lost to history, a law sufficiently hostile to the Golden Tree..."

44. The Nature of the Law

The law is the power held by the gods and the manifestation of their will.

Generally speaking, the only beings that can possess laws, apart from gods, are candidates for gods.

For example, the [Moon Princess] Lani in front of us, the law she masters is not the law of gold, but the law of the stars and the moon, the cold and dark night.

That's why Lani's statement made Reinhardt even more confused.

Although he doesn't know much about his own power, he should be able to recognize that its source is Escanor's solar power.

Especially the tattoo on his back is proof of that.

That is the mark of the sin of pride.

Moreover, how could an ordinary person like him who had no background and no bloodline possess such a noble thing as the law?

This is less likely than suddenly telling him that Greg doesn't follow the limb-jointing routine and instead specializes in Golden Rule fundamentalist prayer.

Did something go wrong?

"...No," Lani denied. Her azure eyes, reflecting his figure, seemed to see through his heart. "...I know this statement is indeed difficult to understand and accept..."

"Normally speaking, laws only exist among gods and deities, and they are the source of our power."

"...So, even I found it strange when I saw you. That made me even more curious."

But there was one thing Lani didn't say, which was that she was not the first person to encounter a boarding law like Reinhardt.

Her father, Radagon, also has the aura of law.

That is not the power gained by faith and prayer, but the source of prayer, the power of the Golden Law possessed by Marika, the [Eternal Queen] of the Golden Tree.

"...Really?" Reinhardt scratched his hair habitually.

Even though Lani said this, he still found it hard to believe, or rather, he didn't believe it at all.

No matter how I think about it, even the Faded One has never obtained the power of the law. Is it really possible for me, a weakling like me, to do this?

This is not a lack of confidence or inferiority, but it is the fact.

Possessing the law can gain the favor of the messenger of the Supreme Will - Two Fingers, and be designated by Him to become a god-man.

If there really was such a thing as law within me, shouldn't the two fingers have come to me long ago?

Why send a secret envoy to assassinate me, even sending a top assassin like Krep?

Even if he was besieged by Black Knife next time, he would not feel surprised at all.

Then, Reinhardt put his hands on his waist and thought for a moment before asking, "...Okay, Your Highness, perhaps you're right. Then what about the pyroxene magic I use? Why can the starlight I use awaken my power, while others can't... Could it be that the law can also change the nature of pyroxene magic?"

He threw out all the questions at once.

Since Lani knows the law so well, she should be able to answer the doubts he has always had.

However, in response to his question, Lani smiled faintly and asked, "...Don't you already have the answer to all this?"

"..."

Reinhardt had no intention of responding. Instead, he stared straight at the petite girl in front of him, hoping to get an answer from her.

Lani naturally saw his thoughts and said slowly, "Yes, just as you think in your heart, the law can indeed change the properties of some basic pyroxene magic, and even its source."

“Just like this…”

Lani suddenly turned around, holding a scepter that was almost identical to Lenara's and waving it slightly.

Under the moonlight and the sun, the pyroxene on the top emits a faint light.
