Shinji slowly descended from the sky, and just when the Sun's Flame was exhausted, he caught the dull "Immortal Blade" at the right moment. His face, which originally contained regret, was then changed into one of surprise and confusion.
"A different future... Was it an illusion caused by his strong desire before he died? Or did he really see a different picture?"
"It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. Humanity will be destroyed one day, and so will the planet."
The pure white princess left the high place where she had been standing and landed next to Shinji.
"The important thing is, what should we do with the things that Zepia left behind?"
Above the "Immortal Blade", two crystal droplets were suspended in the air, spinning around, with the mark of Zepia's soul still remaining on them.
"This is-?"
Shinji cast a protective magic on himself first, and then tried to touch it with his hand. When he touched one of the droplets, a message flowed into his mind.
"I see. It seems he really saw it."
"What is this?" asked Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"One legacy, one reward."
The blue soul light lingered in Shinji's hands, tightly wrapping the two droplets.
"The legacy is the knowledge and technology he has accumulated over the years, as well as the final formula for deducing the future, which he left to his descendant, Shion Eltram Atlassia. Because the gift is a polymer of spirit particles, it will soon dissipate without anyone to maintain it, so he hopes that I will preserve the legacy and give it to Miss Shion. As a reward, he left behind the experience in the pursuit of "magic" - it is really a price that is irresistible, but..."
"Just what?"
"Nothing, I'll tell you when I see him in person. By the way, Princess, help me find out if there is any blood left, especially blood mixed with spirit particles."
"good."
Speaking of sensitivity to blood, who could be more thirsty than the True Ancestor who has an incomparable thirst for blood
Her Royal Highness the Princess waved her hand casually, and a floor tile was cut open. Inside was a sticky substance, half bright red and half pitch black.
Seeing this strange blood, a hint of curiosity flashed in Shinji's eyes.
"It's true. In this state - hehe, you are indeed the descendant chosen by Zepia. Even the slightest negligence could lead to disaster."
As if sensing danger, the half-red, half-black blood suddenly began to melt and drill deeper. Unfortunately, it was just a ball of blood now, and had not yet reached the height of the future. Shinji easily froze and sealed it with runes and put it into the "magic bag" that specially stored such substances.
"Mission accomplished, the last thing to do is to clean up. Anyone who dares to name the building 'Temple' is definitely not from the mysterious world, and the struggles in the mysterious world cannot affect ordinary people - work harder and restore this place to its original state."
The pure white princess nodded, and pure white spread outward. Wherever it passed, time reversed, and broken walls were restored. The floors that were destroyed by "Pegasus Impact", "Fantasy Collapse" and "Brahma's Noble Phantasm" were also restored to their original state. The entire building was completely restored in just a few tens of seconds, as if the battle tonight had never happened.
The princess and her knights returned to the rooftop of the building the moment the pure white disappeared. With the passing of "Night of Wallachia", the end of "Tatari", the dissipation of "Fantasy Manifestation", and the cessation of "Soul Materialization", the changes in the city finally came to an end, and the alien world centered on the building gradually calmed down.
Without the high concentration of spirit particles, Shinji, who appeared as a young man and a servant, also recovered his youth. The princess also recovered - her long hair turned short, and her gorgeous and noble long skirt turned into a cool summer dress in line with the times.
Similar to how Shinji used magic to recreate his true soul form, Elquet also materialized her own essence through fantasy materialization - that was the true form of being a "natural touch" and a replica of "Zhu Yue", an image that was both extremely noble and extremely indifferent. Only in this state could she get infinitely close to "Zhu Yue" and summon the red moon a thousand years later.
The princess in this state has a much stronger presence and power than her usual self, but Shinji still likes her usual self, the self who is willful, loves to act like a spoiled child, is afraid of being bored, clingy, and jealous. Just like now, as soon as she recovered, she pouted and made "mumu" sounds while staring at Shinji with her eyes that had returned to red.
"Just say it if you have something to say." Shinji yawned.
"Mmmmm..."
"If you don't want to talk, I'll go to sleep for a while, and I'll take your turn when the sun comes up."
"What's your relationship with the red-haired woman who appeared at the end?"
Elquet finally spoke, and Shinji had a question mark on his forehead.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"I think she's dangerous. Tell me now."
"You're right, she's dangerous."
"she is-?"
"Scathach."
"I haven't heard of this name..."
Seeing the confusion on Elquet's face, Shinji covered his forehead helplessly.
"If you haven't heard of it, read Memory of the World."
"No." Elquet refused without hesitation, "It's too much trouble, and I don't have the strength. Summoning 'Red Moon' is very tiring, and you asked me to restore the building. If you use the power again, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but bite you."
Biting means sucking blood, and Elquet extremely hates sucking blood, so Shinji refers to it in this way. Over time, Elquet also began to use biting instead - and this is also the change that Elquet experienced after meeting Shinji.
In the past, Elquet hated and feared his own blood-sucking impulse. But Shinji believed that this was the nature of his race and a reality that could not be avoided, so he began to guide him slowly. Now, Elquet can actively face this impulse that comes from nature, and even actively cooperate with Shinji to find a way to suppress it.
Hearing Elquet say this, Shinji knew that she had indeed reached her limit.
Come to think of it, in the "Night of Wallachia" tonight, it looked like Shinji was killing a lot of people, while Arquette was watching with a cold attitude. But in fact, it was just the opposite. The bystander was the biggest contributor.
Without the red moon she summoned, Shinji would not be able to kill the phenomenal Zepia even if he blew up all his treasures. At best, he could only protect himself and survive the nighttime "world of lies".
Summoning the red moon from a thousand years later was also a huge drain on Elquet. Just as Zepia analyzed, she really had no energy left to fight and could only rely on Shinji.
Of course, because Elquet's appearance was so deceptive, whether it was her previous arrogance or her current enthusiasm, it gave people the illusion that she was in good condition, so Shinji subconsciously forgot her weakness.
You have to be more careful in the future and not be fooled by her energetic performance. Our princess unexpectedly loves to show off.
