Chapter 261 Flash

When the host finished his announcement, a girl in a pleated skirt jumped up from the top of the bridge, which attracted everyone's attention. She flipped in the air and landed easily. Even before the battle began, she showed her amazing flexibility and agility.

"Edes Academy, Stacia, Blood Eye Sequence 5 Scarlet Blade Claw." The host announced her name. The girl shook her fluffy black short hair, revealing the deep red highlights on the inside, which contrasted with her equally bright red eyes, giving her an indescribable aggressive temperament.

At the same time, a girl jumped down from the bridge on the other side. She had dark chestnut shoulder-length hair, wore a brown uniform, and white knee-length socks on her legs. She showed the dignity of an aristocratic girls' school while also not losing the beauty of youth.

The girl stood still, lifted her hair slightly, took a few steps forward, and walked towards Stacia generously and slightly dashingly, until the two were only ten meters apart, she stood still.

"Swarm of Bees Academy, Xia Kui, Original Sequence 5 Wasp Sting."

When the host read out the name, the girl pulled out the pitch-black blade from her side, and then casually opened the scabbard, like a long sharp triangular blade waving in the air, reflecting a little light, like the pitch-black sting of a bee.

"It's Xia Kui, I thought she would only appear in the last game."

"Is she famous?"

"She is very famous in Swarm of Bees Academy. She is the head of the third grade and is now one of the top five students in the academy's combat effectiveness. Her prestige is second only to the current student council president."

"It's about to start. If Edes Academy loses this duel, the pressure will be even greater later."

Avni also reminded Tilan in her ear at the top of the bridge.

"That's Xia Kui. I have known her since I was a child. Even my father often praises her in front of me." Xia Kui's father is also an official of the Star Domain Government. He is not in the same department as Avni's father, but because they both have a dazzling and enviable daughter, they are often compared and described by their colleagues.

"It's really special." Tilan nodded slightly, feeling the far-reaching aura of publicity, and the momentum was pressing before the battle even started.

"It's about to start." As the host announced, Tilan also raised one hand and gestured to the members behind him. Everyone nodded, and then Ge Yin also silently put down the bass in his hand and picked up the trumpet beside him.

The exquisite trumpet, which was like a morning glory, had delicate colors and textures on its surface, just like the leaves of flowers in a fairy tale. When Ge Yin blew it, the drum set beside it followed closely, and the uplifting and endless music began.

In this gradually rising melody, Tilan, holding the violin, slowly closed her eyes and entered the state.

On the stage, Xia Kui and Stacia, wielding black triangular swords, kept intertwining. Both of them were extremely fast. At the beginning, the audience could still see the constant intertwining back and forth, and in the later stages, the two sides' moves were frequent, sharp blades and blood-red claws intertwined, and smooth and sharp cuts began to appear on the ice stage.

After another stagger, Xia Kui turned back, leaped, and suddenly transparent cicada wings appeared behind her. Then her body suddenly moved forward at an incomprehensible speed, catching up with Stacia who also jumped back. The slightly wider black triangular sword slashed continuously, breaking Stacia's block, until Stacia was unable to use the force in the air and exposed a flaw, and was swung away by the sharp claws of the block. The black triangular sword held in Xia Kui's hand moved back slightly, and then suddenly pierced through Stacia's chest, and the bloody black stinger pierced through her back.

"I'm sorry."

Xia Kui pressed her left hand on Stacia's shoulder and whispered in her ear, then gently pushed and pulled out the blade in an instant, leaving a long trail of blood, and then watched Stacia fall from the sky.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The indifferent eyes of Xia Kui in the sky, the movements of the audience who were about to stand up and shout, the host and referee holding up the microphone, ready to open their mouths to announce, and the tiny figure falling like a rag doll, fragile and unwilling.

The quiet bow was pulled, and the taut metal strings played. In this rapidly falling world, the sudden sound of the violin was like a signal, and then the music as rich as the opening of an epic was unveiled.

"Shine" × "Move Forward"

is like a galloping army, countless memories and vows, re-emerging in this desperate world. This land shrouded in darkness is so shining, so noble, that people can't ignore it, and people can't help crying.

"Shine", as the name of the music, symbolizes the most unyielding resistance, unforgettable vows and memories.

The figure falling from the sky was wrapped in golden light particles, and in the bright light particles, the gap in her chest healed quickly, and the blood on her clothes also disappeared quickly, and in the end, she could not even see the appearance of injury, and even the black and blue student uniform had no tears.

Enshrouded by the light particles, Stacia opened her eyes again, and her originally bright red pupils turned golden at this moment, as if a clock was ticking.

She turned her body in mid-air, threw out the sharp claws on one arm, embedded them in the icicle, and then stepped on them, and her body jumped up again like a rapidly rising sharp arrow.

The fierce wind resistance blew on her body, compressing the golden and red magic power that overflowed from her body, forming an elliptical outer cover.

Rushing to Xia Kui's side, Stacia launched another attack, and the three blood-red claw marks were instantly torn open, and Xia Kui was also ready, swinging the black triangular sword again and again to block the claws that tore at her.

The claws slashed across the surface of the sword, creating high-temperature sparks. The two looked at each other and then separated again.

"Leading Bee Secret Technique: Wasp Dance!" Seeing that she couldn't defeat Stacia with one move, Xia Kui used the secret technique again. Her figure seemed to have no inertia in the air, moving rapidly. She first dodged Stacia's attack, and then came behind Stacia again. Seeing that the sword blade was about to pierce Stacia again, the melody played on the bridge changed.

Stacia, who was facing away from Xia Kui, twisted her body as if she knew what was happening behind her, and turned sideways to avoid the stabbing sword blade. Then the bloody claws pressed on the sword blade, and the other hand stretched out suddenly and directly grasped Xia Kui's neck.

The bright red nails sank into the white skin, and then tightened instantly.

The sounds of the swords that had been constantly intersecting and colliding on the stage suddenly quieted down, and when Stacia slowly lifted Xia Kui up and lifted her off the ground, the black triangular blade slid down from her exhausted fingers and landed on the icicle stage, smashing out some ice particles, and then rolled around and stopped.

The scarlet warm liquid flowed out from the fingertips that penetrated deep into her skin, slid into Xia Kui's collar, and felt cold in the night breeze. Because her breathing and blood were blocked, Xia Kui looked up at the lights on the top of the bridge, her vision blurred, and she gradually lost consciousness, until she was gently put down, and she knelt on the ground, falling into a pool of blood on the ground.
