Night World Players

Chapter 121 Goodbye, Your Majesty... Maybe We'll Never See Each Other Again (Two in One)

The wind blows away the bloody flowers.

Dyeing this quiet night red.

A huge tearing sensation came from the chest, carrying with it a heart-wrenching pain.

Helen's dark purple eyes opened with difficulty.

What came into view... was the scarlet blade of light that pierced through his chest.

It was an extremely hot and dazzling blade that gathered thousands of rays of light.

The blazing sunlight illuminated the dark sky, like the morning light breaking at dawn.

The blood dripped onto the blade that was gathered by pure light, and was burned and evaporated in an instant, without infecting the pure light in the slightest.

And in front of that scorching blade of light, the dusk surrounding Helen, the power from the "God of Death" sequence, and her power as the Lord of the Underworld...

Everything is becoming fragmented and annihilated into nothingness in the radiance of the scorching sun.

That was the blade that Cecil condensed using the power of the "Sun" sequence and gave to Last.

All the power of this strongest human being in the Sixth Epoch is gathered upon it.

Even with Cecil's accumulation, he put all his efforts into gathering this blade of light, so that during his recovery period, the Watchtower was under martial law and kept highly confidential to the outside world...

Because if the information that this legend was in a weakened state was known to the outside world, especially those forbidden creatures in the ocean, it would likely lead to immeasurable consequences.

Only this blade, which gathers all the power of a legend, is qualified to penetrate all the defenses of the Queen of the Underworld and annihilate all power and obstacles.

next moment.

The blade of light that had pierced his chest was retracted.

Bright red flowers bloomed on the high cliffs, and boiling blood fell down the steep cliffs. Most of it was swallowed up by the roaring sea below and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

A small part was stained by the small trees growing obliquely on the cliff, giving the texture of the tree trunks a somewhat eerie scarlet color.

Replacing the blade of light and piercing through the empty hole in the chest was a hand as white as jade with distinct joints.

That was Luster's hand.

In his slender hands, something was emitting a faint fluorescence.

It looks like a chess piece, crystal clear as jade, yet surrounded by a dusk-like glow.

"Relics of the God of Death", "Remnants of God".

It is also the source of all the storms and whirlpools surrounding this small city and Helen.

Luster did deceive Gray and the members of the Shore Watch team.

From the very beginning, this relic of the god of death was not in the palace of the royal city, but was located in Helen's body, integrated with her heart.

This is the core of this country. It is because of its existence that "Paradise" can continue to exist in the world for a long time... This underworld of the dead was built on the remains of the old god "Death" from the beginning.

It is precisely because Helen has contained the heart of the god of death since birth that she is able to be born powerful.

Without ever going through trials, growth, or transformation, she was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with legends in her field and become the Queen of the Underworld with the power of death.

Last's slender hand gently grasped the dim yellow chess piece that was crystal clear and looked like it was made of crystal.

"Well, farewell, your majesty."

"Do not--"

"Maybe never again."

The black-haired boy looked at the girl in his arms and spoke indifferently.

Those dark eyes were calm and deep, yet they held a certain unshakable light.

His arms stretched slightly.

Followed by.

The girl whose heart was pierced by a sharp blade, leaving only a void. All her authority and power were taken away along with the chess piece... She no longer had any strength left.

Just like that, she slipped out of Rast's arms little by little.

However, during this process, there was not a trace of anger, despair or hysteria of betrayal in the girl's dark purple eyes.

She just stared at Last in a daze, and it seemed as if the seal of something was broken in those dark purple eyes... The flickering light rose and fell like the flow of the galaxy.

The girl's soft body drew a falling curve in the dark sky.

The feeling of weightlessness came rushing over me, accompanied by the sound of wind whistling in my ears.

She fell off a steep cliff, and below her was the raging dark ocean.

Time moves slowly, but cannot be reversed.

However, while falling in mid-air, Helen's lips, which had turned extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, suddenly moved slightly.

"Goodbye."

"Lassiter."

The girl's whispered words were drowned out by the violent sea breeze and were not heard by anyone.

It was not the call from Her Majesty the Queen of the Underworld to her servants.

But it was the first place in the obelisk of Star University, the first seat at the round table, the president of the student union... a farewell to Last.

The blade of light, which is the result of all the power of a legend, pierces not only the domain and power of the god of death, but also the remains of the gods and the full power of the queen of the underworld.

Also pierced was the girl's deep soul, the memory seal imposed by the night world.

At this moment, the seal of memory was broken, and the memory of "Axia", the head of the Star University Round Table, was unlocked.

The surging memories revived like a tide, interweaving with the memory fragments of the Queen of the Underworld "Helen", completely merging into one, no longer distinguishable from each other.

She just stared quietly at the increasingly blurry figure of the young man on the cliff.

There was a glitter in her dark purple eyes, and in her gaze there was Akshia's closeness to Last and her desire to protect him... as well as her attachment to Helen and a slight reluctance to let her go.

It was as if he wanted to engrave the face of the black-haired, black-eyed boy in front of him forever into the deepest part of his soul.

One ten thousandth of an instant later.

The cold feeling of the sea water quickly engulfed her.

Axia's body continued to sink in the sea, as if falling into the abyss.

The light gradually dimmed.

The sparkling sea level is no longer visible, and only a little light penetrates the dark water, illuminating this silent world.

The sea water here is very cold, chilling to the bone.

Hearing, vision, smell...

All of Axia's perceptions were rapidly fading away, and then returning to nothingness.

All that remained was the increasingly faint figure of the young man standing on the cliff beyond the hazy sea level.

In the "Heart of Death", all of Axia's power and strength have been taken away.

This queen of the underworld, who was once so majestic that her words could turn into words of death, is now no different from an ordinary, fragile and weak girl.

However, just when Akxia felt that the oxygen in her lungs was about to be completely exhausted and the pain of suffocation was about to completely engulf her and take away the girl's life.

She suddenly felt that at the end of the deep sea, a crack suddenly appeared in the earth.

A light that intertwined darkness and dusk gently enveloped her. Axia's body fell into the crack that swallowed the light, and her consciousness faded.

Disappeared into the endless darkness, with no idea where to go.

……

In the present world, in the Mystery Tower, the hall next to the Epoch Tombstone.

The image on the light curtain froze silently, frozen at the moment when Axia fell into the deep sea, the faint light on the sea surface gradually dissipated, and the endless darkness swallowed everything.

"This kid..."

Dean Yin's furry white tail froze in mid-air.

It found that its champagne seemed to have been opened too early.

Obviously, I should have guessed it earlier.

When he first met Rast, he used the "Moon of Truth" to peer into Rast's heart.

At first glance, this guy's spiritual world is clear and bright, like bright and shining stars.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that his soul is terrifyingly deep, like a black hole as dark as ink, swallowing up all light.

How could a guy with such a heart be swept away by the fairy-tale atmosphere of the story and affect his decision?
It was a pity that I had such a moment just now, because of the overly romantic atmosphere, I believed that Rast would do something that was in line with the story and the same as the male protagonist in the fairy tale book.

Now that I think about it, I still don't know this guy Last well enough.

"But we are completely finished now!"

I just got rid of the crazy mood I was in before.

Immediately afterwards, Dean Yin couldn't help but have a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

"Laster, this guy, actually stabbed Xiao Xia in such a way that he didn't understand romance."

"What to do next?"

"Obviously, it was because of you and me that Xia went to the same Era Reverberation to help that guy."

"But because of the trouble made by the Night World, students from the same Starry University ended up killing each other in the Night World."

Although for the night travelers in the present world, everything in the night world is just a remnant of the past, a false echo of history.

However, the experiences of the night travelers in the echoes of the night world are all real.

People die when they are killed.

When a Night Traveler dies in the Night World, he or she will truly die.

Life is irreversible, this is the iron law of the night world.

Even in modern times when various treatment technologies are highly developed and even disabilities like broken limbs can be cured... but bringing back the dead and reviving the deceased is something that no known sequence elder or night blade can do.

If it is for the purpose of exploring the night world, conquering the remnants of history, resolving the dusk disaster, and thoroughly understanding the source of all these disasters... then the sacrifice and death of the night travelers in the night world may not be unacceptable.

After all, as a member of Star University.

Before entering the night world, every night traveler has already made up his mind to commit himself to the night and transform himself into a bright star on the obelisk.

but--

Not the projection that died in the night world, the powerful source of disaster.

Rather, he was killed by a misunderstanding caused by the night world's rules, at the hands of a companion whom he could have trusted.

This is something that neither Dean Yin nor the Star University behind him can accept.

"Don't be impatient, little snow ferret."

This is different from Dean Yin, who is as anxious as an ox, running around in circles, and can't wait to rush into the night world.

Beside it, Ophelia's voice remained silent.

However, when Dean Yin followed the source of the voice and turned his gaze to Ophelia.

However, it was shocked to find that the petite second princess had an unnatural blush on her fair and delicate face.

"Little Snow Ferret, do you really think that the guy who can get my sister's approval is an idiot who has no ability to think for himself?"

"She has the exact same appearance as the Axia I met in reality, the exact same sequence and level, and the exact same abilities."

"Even the words that take away life are exactly the same as the habit of communicating through writing instead of speaking directly."

"If it's just a simple similarity in appearance, it can be explained by coincidence or blood relationship."

"But, in addition to appearance, there are so many coincidences in character and life details... If you still use excuses like coincidence and accident to explain it, and deceive yourself and others, you are just trying to cover up your mistakes—"

"Then Rast is not qualified to be my brother-in-law."

There was a strange brilliance flickering in Ophelia's beautiful wine-red eyes.

The unnatural blush on her doll-like fair face became even more intense, as if she was drunk.

"Miss Axia, your memory of the present world was sealed, so you were unable to detect it just now."

"But Rust is different."

"He had noticed the unnatural similarities between Queen Helen and Miss Axia, and must have guessed the connection between the two... But in the end, he still chose this path."

"This shows that he has already prepared himself to bear all the consequences of this path."

A pale silver light flowed in Ophelia's eyes, like the rise and fall of electric arcs.

Calculation matrices appeared in her eyes, rotated, and then disappeared, flickering.

The next moment, on the light screen in front of the two people -

The picture that had been frozen in the darkness began to flicker again.

At first it was just a vague and illusory light and shadow.

But soon, the shaking of light and shadow stabilized and turned into a clear image.

It's no longer Axia's first-person perspective.

Rather, it is the picture at the top of the peak.

The young man with black hair and black eyes was holding the crystal chess piece in his hand, gazing at the dark sea tide below the cliff that swallowed everything in the night.

As soon as Axia fell from the cliff, Ophelia triggered the backup plan she had reserved on the image transmission crystal.

The image-transmitting crystal stone differentiated into a sub-body, which solidified on the cliff.

The first-person perspective that was originally locked on Axia was switched to a fixed camera position, with the camera lens fixed on the cliff at the top of the peak.

"There are actually experts?"

Dean Yin glanced at Ophelia beside him and shook his tail in surprise.

This little girl's thoughts were so profound that they always exceeded its expectations. She was not like her sister at all.

But soon, Dean Yin's attention returned to the picture on the light screen.

I didn’t expect that even though the heroine had left the show, I could still watch the follow-up of that dating variety show.

Just right——

It wants to take a look too.

According to Ophelia, what exactly does Rast's realization, which he had already made, mean?
