Chapter 502 Aiwass: What happened just now?
When she heard the voice, Isabel finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure she was carrying suddenly relieved.
…It’s a relief that the death knell hasn’t sounded again.
Looking at the rising sun in front of her, Isabel's eyes suddenly became moist.
She didn't know what kind of danger Aiwass was in, and she couldn't help him at all after they separated. If she misunderstood Aiwass's meaning or missed the signal, the person she loved might die.
The feeling of powerlessness and immense pressure made her feel as if her stomach was being tightly gripped. If she didn't speak more quietly, she might vomit.
“…Huh?”
Isabel lowered her head and looked down at her hand, which had become translucent.
It crackled and trembled, and became blurry for a moment.
...This time the dream didn't shatter and disappear immediately?
Isabel was also a little surprised and raised her head.
Shafiya, who had been paying attention to Isabel's condition, also noticed this scene at the same time.
“You are…”
Shafiya looked at Isabel and immediately reacted.
She smiled bitterly: "It turns out that all this was just a dream..."
As expected, wanting to see Isabel become stronger... I guess I can only experience it in my dreams.
After realizing that the ceremony was over and there was no need to keep his identity as a promoted person secret any longer.
Isabel shook her head and said what she had wanted to say for a long time: "Although I am an ascender, I am also Isabel. However, I am Isabel from another completely different world.
"In our place, Madam Meg didn't die, but rather regained her youth. Grandmother wasn't assassinated, nor did she have a falling out with her teacher, but rather died of old age. Minister Droste died long ago, and I successfully inherited the throne, recognized by the Knights of the Round Table... Avalon wasn't attacked by the Starmen... Or rather, it was we who were waging war against the Starmen.
"...I'm deeply sorry for deceiving you."
Isabel folded her hands in front of her and bowed to Shafiya in apology.
She hadn't had such an opportunity in previous promotion ceremonies. Now, as her body gradually became transparent, she had time to say goodbye and finally get to say these words.
But Shafiya did not blame Isabel.
Her eyes were extremely gentle, even a little melancholy.
"It's so beautiful... Compared to mine, your side is more like a dream."
Shafiya didn't care at all that Isabel had deceived her. Instead, she gently stroked Isabel's head and said with relief from the bottom of her heart, "It doesn't matter that I'm fake. All these disasters and tragedies are fake... That's great."
"By the way, Your Highness the Princess... No, Your Majesty the Queen. That's what I should call you."
She winked at Isabel playfully: "I wish you happiness - I mean with Bishop Moriarty."
Isabel subconsciously wanted to reply, "I wish you happiness too," but she soon realized... when the ceremony ended, everything that remained in this dream would turn into nothingness.
So she took a deep breath and said very seriously: "I will be happy."
—With your share.
The other side.
Olive also breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't like a grape, standing there stupidly, waiting for something.
When he realized that something had gone wrong with the Shadow of Avalon Ritual, sucking both Aiwass and Lancelot into it, his experience and instinct as a ritualist made him run away without hesitation.
...Fortunately, the only person who died afterwards was "Sherlock" who was killed by the Flame Butterfly.
It was great that nothing happened to Aiwass until the end of the ceremony.
Just as he disappeared, he seemed to see a huge light coming from not far away.
It was clearly late at night, but at that moment the world was as bright as day——
...Is it an illusion?
This was Olive's final thought.
Of course not.
That was the self-destruction of the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly.
As early as when she was at the fourth energy level, the power of her self-detonation was enough to severely damage the demon of punishment; and now she has reached the peak level of the fifth energy level... She failed to reach the sixth energy level simply because Aiwass did not want her to reach the sixth energy level.
Because once you reach the sixth energy level, your movements in the material world will be restricted. Having Night Demon Venez is enough, and what Aiwas needs now is normal combat power.
At this moment, the Flame-Defying Butterfly used the Dawn Fire Technique to burn all of its own vitality, and then launched its strongest attack—
There is no doubt that it can cause serious damage to "Lancelot" who is struggling to escape at the moment.
——"Lancelot" finally broke free from Aiwass's control.
"Lancelot" did not hesitate and rushed to the front of the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly at high speed.
The invisible hammer fell, and the sky seemed to be torn apart by this blow - a strong wind blew up, and the body of the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly was shattered in an instant!
The crushed storm shattered the body of the Flame-Defying Butterfly and then roared in all directions.
It was a storm visible to the naked eye. In the very center of the storm, only a few butterfly wings were left floating in the air.
——But even so.
The Flame-Rebellious Butterfly had already compressed the flames to the extreme.
Even though "Lancelot" shattered her body in time, the flames still broke out.
Rather, it is precisely because it was actively shattered that the Xihuo was able to completely burn out this last bit of life that could not be actively burned.
This is the strongest attack in the true sense, which is difficult for the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly to use under normal circumstances!
At that moment, "Lancelot" felt his body suddenly lighten.
This strong and healthy body finally belongs to her completely at this moment!
Aiwass's soul disappeared.
That’s not all.
——Even Lancelot’s soul disappeared!
……etc?!
The city breaker suddenly opened his eyes wide and realized that something was wrong.
Why did all the promoted people leave...
The promotion ceremony didn’t end?
At that moment, the city-breaker guessed the truth.
...From the very beginning, this was a trap!
The Lord of Scales and Feathers had long guessed that he would come here, and he had tampered with this promotion ceremony... All the rituals he performed here were real!
When he was fighting with the apostles under the Lord of Scales and Feathers, he was sucked in directly by it.
"you--"
—You scale-stealing, feather-stealing bastard! As a high and mighty Pillar God, you plot against me, an apostle of the Celestial Master!
The city-breaker had not yet uttered the curse in his heart.
A doubt remained in the heart of the city-breaker.
...Is the Scale-Feathered Lord so certain that Aiwass will use the Ritual of Shadow of Avalon? And that he will transform it into a ritual that can absorb him?
After all the promoted people left.
After a very brief delay, a white light came on.
A miraculous radiance like daylight—
Dawn had arrived, but its brilliance was greater than that of thousands of suns.
The extremely hot flames instantly vaporized the rock layers within a radius of hundreds of meters, and the whistling atmosphere turned into shock waves and was instantly released to the surroundings.
Amidst the rolling flames, a small, pitch-black mushroom-shaped cloud was seen rising.
——The shock wave roared in along with the earthquake!
They were now near the Temple of Silver and Tin. The palace, devoured and controlled by the Balrog, had finally been completely razed. Even the lake where the Temple of Silver and Tin stood had evaporated, and the Griffin Bridge had shattered.
Roughly one-fifth of the buildings in the Red and White Queen District were instantly shattered by the shockwave. Due to the intimidation of the Fire Demon, only a small number of people remained to engage in the battle. Now, they were all instantly killed by the shockwave—even the indestructible rune colossus was charred and stopped in its tracks amidst the crackling explosions.
Immediately afterwards, a scorching storm roared outward.
The shock wave that was visible to the naked eye swept across the surroundings, and large sections of brick and stone buildings burst into pieces.
The whole earth shook, heaving like trembling soft jelly.
The next moment, a pitch-black mushroom cloud slowly rose. Two rings of white smoke spread outward.
"Oh."
The rough, hoarse voice that announced the end of the ceremony sneered.
Finally, the entire fictional world completed its mission and shattered in an instant.
However, the soul of the city breaker who died inside was unable to return to the dream world.
A light suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of all the promoted people - it was the pure white light that burst out when the world collapsed and disintegrated.
Including the dead and the living participants of the ceremony, they all saw a series of ever-changing images:
At the banquet, knights in silver armor roared and fought to the death with those around them;
Facing the extremely oppressive Flame Butterfly, Sherlock walked slowly towards the people around him without any fear on his face;
The old ritualist held the heart and ritual knife high, standing in front of the coffin and chanting;
The flying ship and the falling griffin met in the middle of the rising sun;
The old alchemist wearing strange glasses, holding the Great Guardian's waist, sat on the griffin and charged towards the dense group of gargoyles...
After a long delay, the last animated picture appeared.
A dark mushroom cloud slowly rose.
Ai Hua's eyes suddenly widened.
……ah?
——Wait, this just happened?
The second chapter was finished and posted in the afternoon!
Why do I feel more tired during the Chinese New Year? Woohoo...
