Chapter 264 Crimson and Blue
"It's the final third stage, and it's also the stage that will decide the winner."
After the previous two stages of competition, the current situation is that the 6+12 of the Swarm of Bees Academy, a total of 18 people, are against the 6+10 of the Edes Academy, a total of 16 people. Although the Swarm of Bees Academy has the advantage in numbers, the Edes Academy has three resonance crystals, which can give full play to the ability of the singer.
"How is the situation? Can you still fight now?" On the bridge, Selena supported Xia Kui, who had just been treated, and helped her check her condition.
"A little weak, but I can still contribute." The wound on Xia Kui's neck has now healed, but her face is still a little pale. After all, she just walked out of the operating room. Even with the extremely advanced medical technology today, it is not possible to fully recover in just half an hour.
"You will stand at the back to protect Prin. This will save some energy. We also need members with fast reaction speed to prevent sudden attacks." Selena suggested. Now that Xia Kui was not feeling well, she took over the command of the team temporarily. As for Prin Koko, she needed to focus on playing. Besides, she was not good at or interested in commanding on the battlefield.
"Yeah." Xia Kui nodded. She didn't mind such an arrangement. She was not the kind of girl who was too cunning. She knew the current situation.
"If you want a breakthrough, let me do it." Danko also came over at this time. Although her injury was similar to Xia Kui's, her own Dragon Sequence recovered very quickly. In addition, it had been more than an hour since the first battle, and she had already recovered.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
When the discussion at the Swarm of Bees Academy was over, the arrangements at the Edes Academy were almost complete.
"In general, Bennett, Cosi, Stacia, and the other four people raided the rear of the leader of the Swarm of Bees, while Suiqin, Tokelai, Yanhou, and the other four people were responsible for maintaining the middle formation to prevent the enemy from breaking through, and the remaining two people protected the band members."
In contrast, the leader of the Swarm of Bees had four people protecting the band members in the back, and eight people collectively broke through the front, emphasizing the use of force to suppress the enemy.
After both sides were ready, the originally towering and separated bridge gradually lowered. With the sound of iron locks and gears turning, the two bridge decks weighing thousands of tons slowly approached, docked again, and riveted each other. At this time, there was a wide bridge deck between the two sides without any obstacles.
It was about to begin. Whether it was the contestants on the stage or the audience on both sides, they gradually tensed their nerves, held their breath, and stared at the center of the venue.
"Now, I declare the battle to begin!" The host in front of the microphone knocked the hammer heavily, and the sound of metal bells suddenly rang, and all the silence was broken at this moment.
The members of the Swarm of Bees looked at each other, confirmed each other, and began to break through at full speed, while Pulin Koko rubbed her nose and smiled, then pulled out a flame-red guitar from the speaker below and began to play.
When it came to the final showdown, she was not so anxious.
As expected, such a game and such a night should be enjoyed to the fullest. If you play just for victory, it would be a cage for yourself.
With the uplifting guitar and bass, Pulin's mood became more and more excited, and she even laughed.
"Watch it, Tilan, the singing girl's performance is not just playing house." She whispered in her mouth, and then sang the lyrics that Tilan was familiar with.
"I can't see, cause it's burning deep inside./I can't fall asleep because there is a flame burning in my heart."
When this first line of lyrics sounded, it seemed that transparent flames spread from Pulin Koko's feet and washed outward, and each member who was brushed by it was also coated with a layer of light red light.
『Like gasoline， a fire running wild./Like a fire, the flames are rolling and surging
.』When the second line of the lyrics fell, the crimson flames ignited in the eyes of every student of the Swarm of Bees Academy, and the magic in them became more and more blazing and boiling.
『No more fear， cause I'm getting closer now.No more fear， because I'm getting closer now.
』 『So unreal， but I like it anyhow./Although it's a bit unreal, I still love it.』
Buzzing bees rose from both sides of the bridge. These bees burned like flames, covering the night sky behind Purinkoko, like a sky full of flaming sunset.
『I go faster and faster and faster./I go faster and faster.』
『And faster and faster and faster and faster and faster./Fast and faster.』
As the arm playing the guitar swung straight down, the hundreds of flaming bees swooped down like countless crimson comets, piercing the night sky with dazzling light.
The melody kept turning and repeating, and the emotions in it accumulated deeper and deeper, and finally it was sung out like a roar, which made people's scalps numb and shocked.
"I can't live in a fairytale of lies./I can't live in a fairytale-like hypocritical lie——"
In these winding and rapid flame meteors, the students of the leader of the Swarm of Bees were like the morning star of the leader, more dazzling and scorching. As hundreds of thousands of crimson meteors passed by, the rushing fire waves spread forward. Even the audience on the shore thousands of meters away felt a suffocating heat wave coming towards them.
The giant bridge built of special steel twisted slightly in the flames and heat waves. Some structures made a slight creaking sound due to heat expansion. The originally black and steel-colored bridge was also dyed red by the fire reflected on the water and sky.
This is Pulin Koko... Tilan looked at the raging fire and bright red that filled her vision in front of her, and a surging heat wave and breath came towards her, blowing her hair.
This is Pulin Koko. Just like the first time she was shocked by the power of the singer that night, the flaming singer falling in the rain, the absolutely free and uninhibited singing, the huge power burning in her heart, even Tilan was ignited and infected by this emotion.
In this case, she will no longer escape as she did in the past.
In this case, she will also face the challenge of the will that reaches her heart.
In this case, she is also ready to go all out, because this is the way to respect Pulin Koko.
The music score in her hand stopped, and then changed rapidly, and the rhythm became more and more high-spirited, as if another flame rose on the bridge.
"Tilan?"
The members behind her, including Avni beside her, looked at her in surprise, but as Tilan played and was infected by her emotions, they unconsciously followed the rhythm of the black-haired girl and assisted her melody and singing.
"And I can't live in a fairytale of lies."
She played the same song as Purinkoko, just as hot and burning like fire.
"I can feel that you've mezmerized my heart."
The song gradually entered the state, and the light blue transparent flames spread from her feet, and then spread like ripples, covering all the members of her side, and then the spreading fire waves also collided with the red heat waves from the opposite side, forming a hemispherical transparent air cover in the night.
"I feel so free."
Under the black bangs and hair, the blue eyes opened, with a transparent blue flame burning in them, and then it became more and more intense, forming a slender blue flame tail under the wind pressure, which was particularly moving and enchanting.
"I won't give in, cause I'm proud of all my scars. I won't give in, because I'm proud of all my scars.
The singing continued, and the team members behind Tilan also entered the state. The melody of the bass kept rising, and the drums were beating again and again, burning under the night sky filled with flames.
"And I can see I've been wasting too much time./I know I have wasted too much time in the past."
Although the red waves of fire still prevailed, the students of Edes, who were enveloped by the blue transparent flames, did not feel the slightest burning or discomfort. They also rose like meteors, cutting through the night sky and rushing towards the incoming Mars.
"And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for life./I go faster and faster for life."
The slender and white wrists were raised from the black cuffs, and with the girl's action, the originally flowing river surface sparkled in an instant, and countless shining ice crystals gradually rose, covering the night sky behind her. These ice crystals reflected the waves of fire in front of them, reflecting the glittering light like fish scales.
"And faster and faster and faster and faster."
The white arms swung forward, and the glittering ice crystals rushed into the fire and coldness of the night like thousands of swallows returning to their nests, colliding with the burning bees and annihilating each other.
In the sky and on the bridge, the students covered in red flames and the members covered in light blue flames fought each other. From time to time, there were overflowing streams and aftermath shooting into the night sky and the river surface, stirring up water light and ice slag.
The scorching red flames and the clear and icy blue fire intertwined and fought endlessly in the night. The same ballad, the same rhythm, but brought people completely different feelings. The collision and the same fiery emotions were like two orbiting twin stars, attracting each other and repelling each other. In the interweaving of ice and fire, it brought people a more shocking and unforgettable feeling.
The confrontation between the two singers did not weaken or exhaust each other's influence. Instead, it inspired each other, becoming more dramatic and soul-stirring. This magnificent duel also involved the minds of everyone present, resonating with emotions and becoming the fuel for the flames of both sides.
"I can't live in a fairytale of lies."
The two sides collided and crossed again and again, swords splashed, laser beams rose and fell, and the two sides entered a scorching and fierce battle from the beginning.
"I can feel that you've mezmerized my heart."
The rhythm swirled again. In the high night sky, Danko of the Dragon Sequence raised her head and took a deep breath. The crimson flames covering the night sky poured into her body like a whale sucking water, and she became more and more scorching and shining, like a blazing flaming star.
"Roar—"
A long dragon roar sounded, and a red-scaled dragon with a wingspan of over a hundred meters appeared in the night sky. With the full blessing of the singer's power, Dan can enter the dragon state of Sequence 6, Sequence 5, with the dragon sequence job.
Dragon Sequence 6: Raging Red Dragon (Excellent Color Crystal Level)
The huge and fat red dragon flapped its wings in the sky, bringing up a strong wind, making the flame bees beside it unstable. Then she landed on the bridge deck, pressing the special steel bridge deck into an arc, making a creaking sound of metal twisting, and then the dragon raised its head and sucked in the surging magic power and flames.
"Huh—"
Then, a dazzling golden-red fire stream gushed out, constantly washing the light blue flame cover on the other side of the bridge, almost drowning and covering it.
Facing the increasingly hotter and hotter ground and air, Tilan could not help but close her eyes to avoid being burned by the dazzling flames. At this time, a figure walked in front of her and blocked the oncoming flames, which allowed her to catch her breath a little and continue playing.
"Continue, Tilan." Avni's whole body was shrouded in the flames, and her golden hair seemed to burn like flames, emitting sparks.
Although she was only Sequence 4, because her own talent was highly related to flames, she was also particularly resistant to the damage caused by high temperatures and flames.
For her companions who fully supported her, Tilan nodded, took a deep breath, and then sang the bursting lyrics again.
"And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right."
"And I can't live in a fairytale of lies."
"A fairytale of lies." "A fairytale of lies..."
The dancing black hair and the black swan-like figure were almost submerged and invisible in the flames. But in this almost desperate fire, the graceful and uplifting song sounded again, so determined and unyielding.
Little by little, in the dazzling heat wave, a touch of inextinguishable blue slowly emerged, becoming more and more intense, burning and spreading, and slowly rising from the suppression again.
"Now!" Bennett roared in the sky.
Then, the rising blue flame suddenly exploded, scattering the Swarm Leader students fighting in the air, and then several Edes students swooped down to the back of the Swarm Leader. They were extremely fast, like blue streamers, drawing long silver lines in the night sky. In almost half a second, they crossed hundreds of thousands of meters and rushed directly to the band position protected by the giant dragon. The sky
was full of pale blue sparks, and the narrow blade was coated with a layer of glittering silver-blue in the night wind, which was particularly stunning and dangerous. When swinging and slashing, it instantly broke through several members of the opponent who were blocking.
"I'll stop you!" A Swarm Leader student holding a huge shield shouted, and the high-raised shield emerged with a crystal-like outline, then spread out, colliding with the oncoming silver-blue blade, and popping out bright sparks and debris.
"Quick!" Bennett shouted again. He knew very well that the opportunity was just a moment away. If he could not break through in these few seconds, all his efforts would be wasted when the other students of the Swarm Leader returned to defend.
Hearing this urgent and anxious voice, the other two members beside him moved forward silently. The two blades were once again covered with a layer of blood red, stabbing forward, piercing into the raised giant shield, directly piercing through it, and then stabbing into the body of the opponent holding the shield behind.
The barrier that was originally as solid as crystal quickly dimmed, and then the two Edes students who were exhausted and exhausted their magic power also fell down.
After resolving the obstacle, Bennett did not stop for a moment and rushed towards Pulin Koko who was playing the guitar behind him. At this time, a black triangular sword stabbed out from the side. Bennett, who was unable to dodge, could only block it with his left arm at this moment, and then rushed forward again.
Xia Kui waved the black bee sting sword to cut off his arm, but the loss of the obstruction to Bennett allowed him to move forward a few meters.
The band members who watched Bennett and his men attack from afar were already prepared. They quickly threw down their instruments, grabbed the guns in front of them, and fired at the opponent who was raiding the core position, protecting Pulin Koko beside them from interference.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Bullets flew out from the constant impact on the barrel trigger, and behind Bennett, the black bee sting sword was also following him. As long as he hesitated or paused, it would stab him from behind.
"Charge——"
As if he was using up his last bit of strength, Bennett swung the blade to deflect the speeding bullet almost according to his muscle instinct, and then a pale blue clock pattern appeared in his eyes. This weak and special protection allowed him to avoid the bullet with a slight advantage, and then the silver-blue blade was swung out and inserted into the fiery red guitar several meters away.
"Dang——"
In the long echo, the original melody stopped abruptly, and then the black sword blade pierced his vest and pierced out.
On the bridge, the crimson flames reflecting the night sky slowly scattered, like ashes gradually dissipating, and the only remaining pale blue flame was still burning. The girl with black hair and black skirt stood on the bridge, her eyes were quiet, as if she had walked out of a painting, and this scene has become a memory engraved in countless people's lives.
Heshia Tilan, the 408th singer born in the history of the Rose Federation, was called the "dark singer" because of her black swan-like figure and appearance when she first stepped onto the stage.
