The Kingdom of Stars, Jianhua University.
In the rock training ground, Ingulit's figure spun like a gyroscope, and her two swords left clear marks on the stone dolls one after another. The stone dolls were equipped with pulleys on their lower limbs, and would continue to approach Ingulit. However, depending on the part and intensity of Ingulit's damage to them, the stone dolls would produce various reactions such as "displacement", "stagnation", and "slowdown".
As time went by, the stone doll got closer and closer to Ingulit. It was not that Ingulit's combat power decreased, but that the sharpness of her weapon dropped to the level of a close-range blade in the high-intensity battle, which made it impossible for her to cause limb-breaking damage to the stone doll.
The basic strength of the stone puppet is equivalent to that of a grown-up fish-slaying dragon. If the swordsman does not inflict limb damage, it is difficult to stop the stone puppet from approaching by impact damage alone.
Yinggulit suddenly crossed her two swords, and the swords made a clanging sound. In an instant, the sharpness of both swords was raised to the level of purple blades. The two-winged magic spirit "Polishing", the one-winged magic spirit "Fish Scales", and the one-winged magic spirit "Iron Filings", these three unrelated magic spirits formed the sword magic miracle "Purple Blade Polishing", which can polish any two swords to the level of cutting iron. It is also the miracle that Yinggulit relies on most at present.
In the second she was polishing, the stone puppets all surrounded her. Ingulit took a deep breath, jumped up suddenly with her taut long legs, stepped heavily on the head of the stone puppet with her boots, and jumped back, leaving the encirclement of the stone puppets, then crossed her swords and killed the stone puppets like a whirlwind!
collapse!
When Ingrid's two swords broke, the stone puppets also broke into pieces. She let go of the hilts, and at this time the second batch of stone puppets began to approach. She pulled out the spare sword stuck in the ground and started the second round of chaotic combat training.
Only when there were no more complete stone dolls in the training room did Ingulite put down her weapon and clicked the miracle bracelet to end the training. At this time, the fallen stones and stone chips immediately melted into soft stone mud and slowly crawled towards the doll's body.
She returned to the lounge, picked up the water bottle, took a few sips, and let out a long breath of hot air. The long-awaited sweat soaked her training suit, her skin turned a soft pale red, her whole body was steaming, and her hanging hair stuck to her cheeks and neck, making her feel sticky and uncomfortable.
Ingrid once thought about cutting her hair short, which would be more breathable, easier to manage, and more convenient for battle, but in the end she gave up due to Adele's strong opposition. But she didn't really want to cut her hair, after spending so much time with those beauty-conscious roommates, she was more or less influenced by them.
But the bangs and sides should be trimmed shorter...
After taking a quick shower and changing clothes, Ingulit left the new training building and had to walk half of the campus to reach the meditation building. The new training building was a new facility built in the past six months. Many high-end training equipment that only Aletheia University was qualified to configure were stuffed in it like it was free. Now, in terms of equipment configuration alone, Jianhua University can already keep pace with Aletheia University, which shows how much off-campus sponsorship Jianhua University has received this year.
"Good evening, Senior."
"Senior, are you going to the Void Realm tonight too?"
"Are you free tomorrow night, Senior?"
All the students she met along the way took the initiative to greet Ingulit, even the teaching assistants, but no one dared to pester her after she refused. A few days after school started, Ingulit gradually got used to her new identity - a third-year senior.
Apart from the fourth-year students who were doing internships or going into the Abyss, she was the most senior student in the university. At the same time, she was also the graduate student of Professor Trozan, the head of the swordsmanship department this year. She had entered the Abyss five times, and her maximum adventure depth was the sixth floor of the Abyss. She won the second place in this year's Meteor Tribulation.
In the past, her juniors had already given her the title of "Sword Flower". She was even one of the best Sword Flowers of all time. However, when the school tried to call her Sword Flower in publicity, Ingulit refused seriously. As a result, no one called her Sword Flower anymore, and it was very likely that there would be no new Sword Flower in Sword Flower University in the future.
On the way, they passed by the dormitory building, but Ingrid had no intention of going in because it was empty. Lois was now running the family chamber of commerce outside the school most of the time, and Adele was also practicing in the virtual realm every day, so the dormitory was empty most of the time.
It felt as if we were all promoted to the third grade all of a sudden, and all of a sudden we all grew up. The laughter and joy that once took place in the dormitory became so distant, even though it wasn’t that long ago... but we can never go back to the way it was before.
It was as if when she left, she also took away their childish youth.
They still stay here, but their hearts have grown up with her.
As soon as she entered the meditation room and sat cross-legged, Ingrid's miracle bracelet vibrated. She clicked it and found that it was an emergency message issued by the throne room:
"To all two-wing magicians: A large-scale adventure event has occurred on the Time Continent, go quickly."
Ingulite was not surprised, but was just curious about why the throne room had no identification features. She opened the Gate of Truth of the Sorcerer's Spirit, her consciousness connected to the Void Realm, her soul descended to the Continent of Time, and when she opened her eyes again, she had arrived at the Continent of Time where the Golden Rain was flowing backwards.
When she looked up, she knew why the throne room hadn't elaborated, because it was too obvious.
A huge silver sword that pierced through the sky and earth stood in the golden rain. You could see it as long as you raised your head. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the white bull seemed to be walking particularly slowly today. Ingulit stared for dozens of seconds but didn't see any obvious deviation of the white bull's four legs.
Today’s adventure seems particularly grand, Ingulit thought.
Ever since the birth of the seventh level of the virtual realm, adventures in each level of the virtual realm have emerged in endlessly. Three demigod inheritances have appeared in the Sea of Knowledge, although they are all incomplete. It is said that a god appeared in the Ruby Mountain three days ago, causing a sensation in the five countries, but was eventually snatched away by five female magicians. The adventures in the Time Continent are even more countless, and Ingulite herself has encountered a "fruit adventure."
The adventure is very simple. Fruits will jump up from the pool. The more you cut, the higher your score. Ingulit is the first challenger to reach the required score and obtains the two-winged magic spirit "Fruit Cut". "Fruit Cut" can cut any inanimate object to produce juice. It feels very interesting, but I don't know how to use it. Ingulit plans to consign it to the school platform.
The biggest difference between adventures and virtual facilities is that adventures are one-time, so any past experience is not applicable, so the notice from the throne room did not teach the two-winged magicians how to deal with it. As for the reason for the birth of adventures, everyone speculated that it was the birth of the dream ladder and the seventh floor of the virtual world, but there is still no official conclusion. In the tide of the great era, the only thing everyone can do is to adapt.
But recently a piece of news has been circulating that a treasure called the "Supreme Fragment" may appear in the adventure. Once the Supreme Fragment is obtained, even the weakest magician may be able to achieve a feat as brilliant as the starry sky.
Ingridt approached the silver giant sword and found that there were many magicians gathered around it. This was understandable, after all, it was such an obvious adventure activity.
But what’s interesting is that everyone gathered around the sword throne and didn’t fight each other.
Because there is usually only one reward for an adventure, multiple magicians who encounter the same adventure will often fight to decide the winner. When Ingrid came here, she thought there should be a roar of killing, and she was a little excited to test the results of her training these days. Now she can't help but feel a little regretful. But when she crossed the sword circle drawn by the giant sword, she got the information about the adventure in her mind, and her mood couldn't help but jump up again.
"Death Arena"
"Only open to two-player duels/No surrender allowed, fight to the death/The winner will receive a random two-winged magic spirit/The loser's death penalty is reduced by 90% (the soul can be healed after 48 hours of rest)"
"Balance of the strong and the weak: When there is a difference in strength between the two sides, the arena will send down blessings to increase the strength of the weaker side, keeping both sides at the same level."
"Those who do not fight will die: If there is a passive situation of slacking off in the fight, the slacking off will die, and the death penalty will be doubled."
"Continuous victory: You can participate in the death duel repeatedly, but each victory will increase the participant's strength score by 20%, and once defeated, all spoils will be lost."
"Ring status: In the middle of a duel, entry is not allowed"
Ingrid looked up and saw a fierce battle taking place on the ring. On one side was a warrior who looked like a fox dragon skin, and was a parasitic magician from the Earth Abyss Kingdom. On the other side was a young man with bloodshot eyes, who was full of blood and was probably a blood saint magician from the Blood Moon Kingdom.
There is a light curtain above the ring, which shows the victory status of both sides. The Parasitic Mage has 0 wins, while the Blood Saint Mage has actually won 4 wins, which means that this is the fifth game he has participated in!
Yingguli looked closely and knew why the Blood Sage had won consecutive battles: he was very good at turning into a bat and flying, and he could fly a kite with ease even in the ring. In addition, his blood magic could not only cause damage, but also seemed to be able to restore his own magic power. His endurance and mobility were both top-notch in the two-wing stage. In a critical moment, he could even turn into a pool of blood, immune to all physical damage.
The strength and speed of the parasitic magician seemed to have been enhanced a lot. A random attack could shake the ring, but he just couldn't hit the blood saint magician. He kept shouting the national curse of Diyuan on the ring, but all he got was a disdainful sneer from the blood saint magician. In the end, the parasitic magician bled dry in a few minutes, and fell on the ring without a single piece of good flesh on his body, and dissipated into light particles.
The Blood Saint Magician landed gracefully on the stage. At this moment, a silver light descended from the sky, and a magic spirit was hidden in the silver light.
He casually put the spoils into his pocket, seemingly not caring what kind of magic spirit he got. He turned his head and looked down at the people around him arrogantly, his bloodshot eyes flashing with an evil light of joy, and his hoarse voice resounded everywhere: "Next."
The magicians fell silent. They looked at the Blood Saint Magician on the stage with unfriendly expressions, but no one took the initiative to walk onto the stage.
So that's how it is. There are people like this.
Ingridt only needed to see at a glance that the Blood Saint Magician was not after the prize, but the pleasure of slaughtering his opponent. His miracles might even activate the magician's sense of pain. This kind of person is not uncommon among magicians. After all, they carry sharp blades and have a desire to kill. They clearly have the power to dominate life and death, but they are restricted by national laws and regulations and can only kill abyssal monsters or virtual creatures. They are as boring as butchers.
Hands, arms, shoulders, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, throat, chest, abdomen, waist, heart, thighs, knees, feet… Provocation, yelling, wailing, weeping… The paleness of bones, the dark red of blood, the pale yellow of fat… The beauty of humans is simply incomparable to that of animals. No matter how many fish-slaying dragons they kill, it cannot satisfy their hunger.
Only by killing their own kind with one's own hands can they feel the meaning of their lives.
Unconsciously, Ingulite had already tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword. She stared at the Blood Saint on the stage, mentally slashing him dozens of times wherever she could. This feeling was stronger than when she was besieged by creatures from the virtual realm, when she encountered a strong enemy during a meteor calamity, and when her life was hanging by a thread. It was like a rainstorm in the dark night, which caused a landslide. The mud and water were indistinguishable from each other. The sticky and heavy mud covered all life, and only the dark and turbid chill remained between heaven and earth.
The Blood Saint Magician seemed to sense something as well. He turned his head to look at Ingulite, with a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth.
Just as Ingulit was about to fly up, a familiar voice suddenly sounded at the side of the ring: "I'm here to challenge you!"
The magicians watching were all stunned. They watched a girl who couldn't even fly with virtual wings and had to climb up the stage with a hop and a skip, and then she jumped to the center of the stage. Although one cannot judge a person by appearance, the magicians could tell from her appearance, age, and mentality that the girl had not experienced many battles, and her golden virtual wings were definitely not fully condensed. If she were in the Time Continent, she would be a weak magician at the bottom of the food chain.
However, no one stopped her. After all, the more consecutive victories the Blood Saint Magician had, the higher his strength score would be, and his opponents would receive more blessings. Many people were planning to end the Blood Saint Magician's winning streak and win all his spoils.
Only Ingrid was stunned.
"Adele!?"
Hearing someone calling her name, Adele turned around and saw Ingrid, waving at her happily, just like a singer meeting her friend at a concert. Ingrid subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop her from participating in the death duel, but immediately suppressed her thought.
First of all, the Death Decision takes great care of the weak, and the strength of the weak will be raised to the same level as the strong as much as possible. Even if the weak die, the death penalty is very low, and they can return to the virtual realm again after resting for two days.
Secondly, and most importantly -
Adele will never fight a battle she will lose!
Ingrid knows Adele too well. She is synonymous with bullying the weak and fearing the strong. She is afraid of pain, suffering, fatigue and death. In school, she rarely participates in actual combat training. If she is not sure of crushing the opponent, Adele will never participate in the battle!
In fact, Ingrid was already very pleased that Adele had been promoted to the second wing. After all, Adele always said, "I have suffered all the hardships in this life." But when Ingrid and Lois made great strides forward, she would catch up in time and progress with them, as if she was afraid of being left behind by them.
While Ingrid was thinking, the duel began again. Barriers rose around the ring and in the center, isolating the surroundings from the two opponents. At this time, a scale appeared in the sky, and the scale overwhelmingly leaned towards the Blood Saint Magician, which was consistent with everyone's judgment - the Blood Saint Magician's strength crushed the deer-like girl.
At this moment, everyone seemed to hear the sound of a silver coin falling on the other end of the scale, and then a silver light fell on Adele.
In order to balance the strength in the Deathmatch Arena, people began to bless Adele, who was in a weak position.
The Blood Saint Magician was at ease, not caring about the strength the arena could give to the weak. No matter how much the arena could strengthen the opponent's strength and agility, it was meaningless to him. Bat flight and blood incarnation were almost invincible defenses for the two-winged magician. He could leisurely torture the enemy's flesh and blood within a safe range, drain the enemy's blood, and play with life in his hands.
"Life Siphon" can transform the enemy's blood into golden magic power, and "Blood of Bitterness and Weakness" can greatly increase the enemy's sense of pain. Even if the magician is a soul without sense of pain in the virtual world, he will still let out a shrill wail like a pig or sheep.
It’s a pity that the parasitic magician just now had a way to greatly reduce his pain, which was really not satisfying. Now this... The Blood Saint Magician looked at the girl in front of him who was as weak as a sheep, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
How to proceed with this pleasurable torture
Da, da, da, da…
Silver coins fell one by one, and silver lights blessed Adele one by one. At first, it was nothing, but gradually everyone began to find something wrong.
"I've blessed you more than a dozen times, how come the scale is only balanced a little bit?"
"That parasitologist just now only blessed six times!"
"Twenty-six times already!"
Adele raised her chin, puffed out her chest with pride, and said loudly, "Because I'm weak! Isn't it normal for the arena to bless me more!"
Ingrid blinked, and suddenly felt that this scene was familiar. In the past, when Adele cheated in the exam, she also explained righteously that it was reasonable for her to bring a pen with a communication function to the exam.
Moreover, Adele seemed to have expected that she would receive many blessings. There was no surprise on her face, it was almost as if...
It's like she was cheating in the Death Fight Arena.
After the silver light fell sixty-six times, the balance of power finally balanced, and a three-second countdown appeared on the central barrier. The Blood Sage, who had long been unable to hold back, took a deep breath and told himself that it was nothing. A weakling who was strengthened too much was still a weakling. Anyway, she couldn't hit him at all. He only needed to pay attention to his position, and he could still use the kite to torture her to death.
At the moment when the central barrier disappeared, the Blood Saint Magician raised his head and saw a small fist hitting his face.
boom-
The air that had been compressed to the extreme exploded on the ring like waves of clouds, and the ground outside the ring was shaking continuously. Everyone looked at the ring filled with smoke and dust in dumbfounded, and saw that the three-meter-high ring was now less than one meter. There was no one else on the ring except the girl, and only some blood mud could be vaguely seen in the surging mud. It was obvious that the ring had been beaten to pieces.
The sheep, which has been strengthened to the extreme, can blow up all the space in the ring with one punch!
Five silver lights emerged from the blood mud, which were obviously the spoils of the Blood Saint Magician. Together with the silver light falling from the sky, Adele obtained a total of six two-winged magic spirits. She quickly put the magic spirits into her soul, and then waved to Ingulit: "You came just in time, it's your turn next!"
Ingrid flew onto the stage with a bewildered look on her face. "What are you—"
"Don't ask, just enjoy it." Adele patted her shoulder like an old driver and whispered in her ear, "You should like evenly matched victories, right? No problem, I'll arrange it for you. You can win six games in a row. Anyway, these magic spirits are nothing to her."
"what are you talking about-"
winter!
The silver giant sword suddenly began to vibrate violently, and nearby magicians quickly retreated to avoid being affected. A notice board appeared in the sky, reading: "The Death Battle Arena is temporarily terminated."
At the same time, six silver lights descended from the sky into Ingulit's hands. Ingulit took them and saw that they were all sword skills that she could use.
"I have something urgent to discuss. Let's talk next time. Do you want to go back to reality first, or continue exploring the time continent?"
Hearing this voice, Ingrid immediately understood Adele's confidence - this was not cheating at all, this was simply the invigilator using the reference answers to help answer the questions!
Urgent matter... It seems that even after becoming a god, I can't be carefree.
Ingulit could hear the impatience in her voice and was a little curious about what she was in such a hurry to do, but naturally she didn't say anything more at this time.
"Keep exploring!" she replied immediately.
"as you wish."
The silver giant sword quickly disintegrated and the death duel arena ceased to exist. Ingridt held Adele and chose a direction to fly, and asked: "Adele, do you have the healing miracle?"
"Yes, why... Wow!"
Several miracles shot towards Ingulit from behind, but were avoided by Ingulit's agile flying skills. As soon as the death duel ended, the magicians who were watching immediately started a melee. The fat sheep like Ingulit and Adele who left with twelve pieces of spoils naturally attracted a lot of attention!
She kept her eyes on the rear until there were only three pursuers left, then she said, "I'm going to fight back now, hold on to me tight and don't let go!"
"No!" Adele hugged her tightly, trembling with fear, "Why don't you keep running away!"
"Because..." Ingrid turned and drew her sword, her eyes fanatical: "I can win!"
... ...
...
In the Heaven at the End, in front of a golden river at the junction of the Sky Garden and the Wishing Well, Sonia, Diya, and Weisser simultaneously completed the super-large-scale miracle "Golden Gate".
Before the Golden Gate was activated, the Golden River in the Kingdom of Heaven was less than three meters long, but now it has expanded to thirty meters in length.
The rituals of the Liujin Sect were extremely complicated, and the most critical part was connecting to the Time Continent. Because the only way to obtain extra Liujin River was to connect it from the Time Continent.
As six-winged gods, Sonia and her companions naturally could not enter the lower four levels of the Void Realm, and they could not even find the way in. However, the Time Continent was the only exception - because of the Golden River.
All the golden rivers will converge into the Continent of Time. Sonia and the others only need to pass through the tributaries of the Golden River in the Kingdom of the Last Heaven to cross the virtual realm and interfere with the Continent of Time.
But even so, the constraints of the virtual realm on the six-winged gods are very strong. Not only their real bodies, but even miracles and wonders cannot descend upon the time continent. Only Weisser can break the rules a little bit, and the power of the silver lamp can penetrate into the time continent.
The only things that can get through are their magic spirits and source crystals!
So the three of them used magic spirits and source crystals to build the miracle "Golden Gate" on the time continent. The death fight arena was just a virtual adventure they disguised to attract magicians. Their real goal was the door of truth in the magician's soul!
To connect the water of the Flowing Golden River to the Kingdom of the Last Days, it is equivalent to building a space gate connecting to the Seven Heavens on the Continent of Time, spanning four levels of the Void Realm. Not to mention them, even the contemporary number one space magician, the Lord of the Infinite Abyss, would probably find it difficult to do it, as the Void Realm's resistance to the Lord of Gods is too great.
However, based on the knowledge left by the Death Maniac, there is a shortcut here.
The door of truth!
You should know that most magicians live at the junction of hell and heaven, but their Gate of Truth can connect to the four lower levels of the virtual realm, which means that the virtual realm does not set up any obstacles to the Gate of Truth.
Sonia and the others set up the death arena according to the knowledge of the death maniac. Once the magician dies on it, his Gate of Truth will remain, and the other end of the gate will point to the Kingdom of the End. Although the Gate of Truth is very small, there are enough of them. After setting up the arena in the virtual world for one night, the tributary of the Golden River in the Kingdom of Heaven has increased tenfold!
The arena and the rewards are just a trick to make the magician die on it and leave the Door of Truth behind.
But the goal is to kill the magician, is it really necessary to spend so much effort to set up the arena to deceive them? Or after luring them in, wouldn't it be okay to just kill them all directly? Is it necessary to arrange a death duel
Of course both are necessary.
First, collecting the Gate of Truth requires a large-scale ritual, so you must have a fixed location and cannot hunt down magicians everywhere;
Second, although there were no hints, they all felt that interfering with the Time Continent in this way was already the limit. If they dared to personally slaughter the two-winged magicians, the Void Realm would likely bring disaster to the Kingdom of the End of Heaven. Don't forget that the Void Realm has a temper;
Third, collecting the Flowing Gold River is not a one-time deal. They will have to launch the "Flowing Gold Gate" many times in the future. If they ruin their reputation, no magician will be fooled again in the future.
Fourth, Ash was not very willing.
That is why the three gods condescended to come to the Time Continent to organize a give-back event, which is truly bringing warmth to the countryside.
They had always wondered why the gods chose to build the Heroic Soul City on the Time Continent, whether it was to experiment with arms, study spells, or compete for concepts. It was not until they became gods and took charge of the Kingdom of Heaven that they realized that the above reasons were just incidental. The gods only interfered with the Time Continent for one reason - to divert the Flowing Gold River.
For Phase Heaven, the Golden River is the most important resource, no doubt about it.
The witch closed her eyes and used her consciousness to change the underlying parameters of the phase. The Golden River quickly dried up, from thirty meters long to only five meters.
"The time flow rate has become 5:1, which means that one day in reality is five days in heaven, but it can only last one day in reality." Di Yala's face fell: "It feels like the benefit ratio is very low... We even spent ten source crystals to stop the white bull from moving!"
"After all, this is our first attempt." Weisser said with a smile, "If we fix the Death Battle Arena permanently, we can get a stable income from the Flowing Gold River and speed up the flow of Heaven forever."
This is the meaning of the golden river: to speed up the flow of time in heaven!
In the heaven where Fanxing and the others are, the time flow rate ratio is at least 3:1, 4:1 or even 5:1. If a thousand years pass in reality, several thousand years will have passed in heaven!
Since the gods and angels are immortal, there is no harm in extending the time, and they can have more time to study magic. For the Kingdom of Heaven, faster time is equivalent to faster production of resources. Ash and his companions thought they were facing thousands of years of accumulation of the gods, but in fact it might be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years!
If a crisis occurs in reality, speeding up the flow of Heaven is also very helpful. For example, now that we know that Ouroboros will attack in 24 hours, the Lord God can choose to use up the water of the Golden River within one day, and it is not impossible to speed up the flow of Heaven's time to 100:1!
In many ways, the water of the Flowing Gold River is a vital strategic resource, so Sonia and the others went to great lengths to activate the "Flowing Gold Gate". They interrupted the Flowing Gold Gate because something more important had happened.
Sonia didn't even have the mood to discuss with Diya and the others. After finishing the rituals, she immediately flew to the main hall of the Sky Garden. It was strange to say that they had only been apart for one day, but even if they had met again after half a year, they were not as excited as they were at this moment. It was like a wild cat turning into a house cat, becoming more and more clingy.
When she entered the main hall, she saw Ash and Vichy, and her joyful mood suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy. She thought that if Ash didn't fly over to her, she would punish him to sleep alone tonight. However, when she took two steps closer and saw clearly what they were doing, she was stunned.
The witch and Silver Lantern entered the main hall and saw Sword Lady standing in front of them. They also saw Ash and Vichy in the distance. They thought Vichy really didn't want to wait even a second. However, when they looked closely, they were immediately shocked and their scalps went numb. A chill ran through their spines.
"Ash," Diya stammered, "What...what are you doing?"
Ash's hand pierced into Vichy's chest, and Vichy hugged Ash limply. Her virtual wings gradually became illusory, and the whole person seemed to be extinguished in the next second.
In contrast, the virtual wings behind Ash became more and more blazing, and Vichy's virtual wings gradually spread to his virtual wings. It seemed as if he regarded everything from Vichy as nourishment to achieve his own eternal brilliance!
Vichy didn't say anything, just looked at him with tears in her eyes, bit her lower lip tightly, and raised her soft hand to stroke his cheek.
"The spectator."
Ash sighed, but he was talking to a non-existent person: "No wonder everyone hates you so much. The bond... turns out to be your trap."
He reconnected the broken bond between him and Vichy, and Vichy's virtual wings immediately returned to her, stretching freely. Not only that, she also shared Ash's supreme tail wing, which was colorful, dazzling, and enchanting.
Ash held Vichy in his arms, like two phoenixes embracing each other. He wiped the maid's tears with his thumb, turned to look at Sonia and the others and said:
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but to put it simply, Fili taught me how to create and break bonds."
PS: It’s 8,000 words and not easy to divide into chapters. Please forgive my willfulness.
Today marks the second anniversary of the serialization of The Magician’s Handbook. Let’s complete this last leg of the journey together.
