The truth of the past
A bone-chilling pain shot through Ximu's brain, and the scene in front of him suddenly shattered, reorganizing into a dark room with a very familiar style.
There was no light source in front of him, but Ximu could still see the layout of the furnishings clearly.
This place itself is quite spacious, but there are so many restrictions that they are almost densely packed. Difficult-to-hear words are faintly visible in the darkness, like songs and complaints, full of words that should not appear in the human world.
For some reason, Ximu instinctively felt that this place was somewhere in his own home.
Although she seldom walked around the house and the places she visited were very limited, the gloom and silence that permeated her lungs were so familiar to the people of the Kellinglet family that they were deeply familiar with them.
At this moment, the door not far away suddenly opened.
A tall, thin man walked in, his face covered, dressed as if ready for a journey. The layers of restrictions blocking the way retreated respectfully before him like kneeling subjects, allowing him to pass unimpeded to Xi Mu.
It wasn't until the reflection of the Thorn of the End appeared in those eyes that looked very similar to hers that she suddenly realized—
What she was seeing at this moment might be exactly what the holy vessel had witnessed back then.
The former patriarch put away the holy weapon, and with the people who followed him like shadows at some point in time, he met with the client of this operation through a special space scroll.
The Kelinlet family, serving the God of Slaughter, rose to prominence through assassination, and their influence spread across the continent. As the most powerful member of the family, the head of the family is only responsible for the most difficult and lucrative tasks.
Ximu's eyes were completely dark, and most of the words he heard were unclear, with only a few sentences still distinguishable.
"...Mister Mia Rhodes, I need to confirm one last time."
A man's voice sounded, and it was unclear whether it came from the ancestor of her family whom she had never met.
"After the deed is accomplished, the lives of everyone in the entire magic academy will be handed over to us as a reward—without distinction between friend or foe, right?"
"certainly."
Another voice smiled, its tone bright and pleasant at first glance—but the words it spoke were completely inconsistent with that gentle tone.
"Those favored by a god can only be shaken by another god acting on his behalf... Although my heart aches, I also understand that there is gain only when there is loss."
"Your Excellency is a man who can accomplish great things."
"Thank you for the compliment, Patriarch."
After another period of hazy and chaotic darkness, the next time light appeared was when the Thorn of the End pierced someone's back.
Blood and severe pain were transmitted along the blade, and the rapidly lost vitality made Ximu feel a kind of supreme happiness.
The death of a noble person is more terrifying than an ordinary disappearance. She even has an ecstatic impulse to kill all living things she can see.
The man who was assassinated had long hair as silver as moonlight and was dressed simply. It was obviously not the attire he wore for meeting guests. It was not until the moment he fell that he finally turned his head, his eyes full of shock and astonishment.
He is dead.
At least that's what the head of the family judged.
He pulled the holy weapon back from the dead man's back and turned to the blonde woman who was already slumped on the ground beside him.
In great shock, she moved her lips but could not utter a word. With tears streaming down her face, she was quickly controlled by the elites of the tribe who were accompanying her.
The masked man glanced to the side.
But the man in the robe seemed to have let go of his worries long ago. He only left them with his back and walked excitedly towards a two-sided mirror placed in the moonlight.
The round mirror is brilliant and placed on a Y-shaped base. It is obvious that it is not an ordinary item.
But at this moment, Ximu suddenly felt something and was the first to look in the direction of Millianna.
The originally desperate and decadent figure suddenly disappeared, turning into countless butterflies shining with starlight, and flew away in a moment!
The head of the family suddenly realized something, and returned to the side of the silver-haired man in a flash. The surging deathly intent gathered on the blade, and the Thorn of the End pressed down again. Although he had clearly stabbed the man, he felt like he had missed!
"not good!"
The moment the whisper came out, the man in front of the mirror realized something and turned around suddenly.
He did have a handsome face, but his eyes were full of suspicion and vigilance. Even though the body of the Moon Sage lay right in front of him, he still narrowed his eyes, then stretched out his hand and waved, ready to immediately put the mirror into his arms.
The spatial spell was instantly deployed, but just as the mirror was about to be covered and taken away, a bloody hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the mirror and struggled against it.
"You...don't even think about it..."
With a look of death on his face, Phises lay on the corner of the table, his magic power scattered. It was obvious that he was at the end of his strength, but he still used up his last bit of strength to send his sister away, and held on to the mirror tightly.
Mia Rhodes was so frightened by the sudden resurrection of the person he believed to be dead that he took two steps back.
But he quickly reacted, sneered, increased the power of the magic, and enjoyed the other party's increasingly painful expression as he wished.
"Fises, I don't want to do this either...but who made you so selfish to want to take our treasure for yourself?
"This mirror isn't just the product of your hard work; it's also the product of my lifelong learning. We could both be on par with gods, but why... why are you always so stubborn?!"
Mialods's expression suddenly turned fierce, and the pressure of catching the mirror suddenly became heavy. The already dying Phises spat out a mouthful of blood, and the nails that were tightly grasping the edge of the mirror began to be injured and broken.
Seeing this, the assassins on the side took action, drew their weapons, and rushed towards the great wizard who was only breathing his last breath.
He is the Holy Son favored by the Moon Goddess. Even if he only has one breath left, he is still an opponent that cannot be underestimated!
The moon has set.
At the moment when it was hit by several weapons at the same time, the bright moon that was originally hanging high outside the house seemed to be called from the sky by someone, and leaned against the lake outside the high tower, huge and bright, like the drooping eyes of the moon goddess.
"On par with gods? You are truly... shameless."
The last bit of life in Phises' eyes quietly went out like a burnt-out candle, but a huge force gathered at his fingertips and spread around the mirror, wanting to crush this exquisite but unsuitable magic weapon into powder!
"stop!"
Mia Rhodes was shocked and immediately tried to stop him—
At that moment, all the power gathered together, the two-sided mirror shone brightly, and triggered a huge magic explosion, which almost engulfed the entire magic academy!
Xi Mu was immediately shaken away by this surging force. When she came to her senses, everything in front of her had collapsed again, returning to its previous state of nothingness and shatteredness.
In this chaotic ocean, she slowly drifted with the waves and gradually sank.
But unlike usual, this time her consciousness did not fall asleep, but continued to function in an orderly manner.
It turned out that the culprit that caused the changes in the entire magic academy was actually a magic weapon made by the two of them... In the past, they turned against each other, and it seemed that it was not only because of their different national positions, but also because of their completely contradictory philosophies.
Mialodos was willing to kill those favored by the gods in order to obtain the mirror;
Phises used up all his strength and was determined to destroy it at the risk of his life.
The two unstable magical powers were stuck with each other, and were interfered with by the random killers, which eventually led to a huge loss of control, causing the magic academy and the surrounding areas to fall into an unprecedented change!
It seems that the ancestors of the family were unable to leave this place... How did the "Thorn of the End" fall into Millianna's hands?
The princess is trapped in her own bedroom by regret, but the lost holy object is hiding in her heart, constantly drawing on her pain to nourish itself?
It's not completely impossible.
The promised reward was not obtained, so how could the holy object, having tasted the sweetness, be willing to give up?
Unlike those humans who are lost in obsession and can only go towards madness and alienation, it lies dormant and waits, allowing countless years to pass, waiting for the years to bring the person whose fate is connected to it to its presence again.
Yes, she and it are both part of the huge hem of the black god.
Who knew that the ritual failed, she fell into the dark river, and mistakenly entered a strange land, wasn't it because the gods gently pulled the silk thread in the dark?
Perhaps, this was destined to happen.
The moment he realized this, Ximu suddenly felt a heavy fatigue, so heavy that his eyelids drooped, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second.
Vaguely, she seemed to see her life in a daze.
The day when he was declared a sacrifice.
One night during a rigorous training session.
A life-and-death battle with a powerful opponent.
And the first time in his life, he dressed up, walked to the altar alone without his family, and faced the moment of death with an expressionless face.
——What a boring life.
Just as she was thinking this, the scene in front of her suddenly changed and became something else.
The silver-haired girl returned home and presented the sacred object that had been lost by her family for a hundred years, shocking everyone.
They were surprised, discussed, and chattered endlessly, and had no choice but to give up the position of head of the family that had already been decided and let her sit on the highest position.
Her cold mother, brother, and all those who appeared respectful to her but always laughed at her behind her back, had to crawl at her feet.
Kelinlet, who is recognized by the holy object, is naturally the well-deserved head of the family and the most loyal believer and spokesperson of the gods.
Everyone in the family has to obey her will. She is no longer the victim who is pushed out, but the real helmsman.
As long as she gives an order, the fate of countless people will be changed quietly in the dark.
This is truly a brilliant and grand comeback...
Looking at himself sitting on the high platform with an arrogant expression, Ximu felt nothing real about it and didn't feel much joy.
Is this the rest of her life?
Is this the second half of her life chosen by the holy object after she returns to the family?
If it was at the beginning, she might have chosen to do it without hesitation.
After all, from Xi Mu's perspective at that time, she had no idea how to survive in the outside world and had long since given up hope for life. Rather than panicking in a completely unfamiliar place, it would be better to return to the familiar stage and perform the bloody dance she was already accustomed to.
But - now it's different.
