Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

"Spell - Moonlight Sword!"

Luna unleashed a silvery sword light, like the bright moon in the sky, showering the world with its purifying radiance.

The crescent moon spread outwards, and wherever it reached, all demons were reduced to ashes.

"These demons are actually the embodiment of the evil thoughts of the city's residents."

Rhodes calmly analyzed the spells inscribed within the city.

"This is a complex spacetime barrier rooted in a curse, emerging through memories, and sustained by the lives of all the city's residents..."

In other words, the spacetime barrier they inhabit is connected to the lives of all the residents of Ula City.

If this spacetime barrier is destroyed, everyone in Ula City, including Yuni, will die.

However, with Luna, the destined heroine, there is a way to break the deadlock.

"Don't worry, teacher."

Luna swept away all the demons around her.

He turned to look at Rhodes, whose face still had a few drops of blood on it.

"I will slay all the demons! They will never let them near my teacher unless they step over my dead body!"

"..."

"Luna is so cool!"

Yuni looked at Luna with adoration, her eyes sparkling.

"Hmph, even without you, I will still protect the teacher."

Anjie snorted coldly.

"I don't need your protection, and now is not the time for idle chatter."

Rod said expressionlessly.

Even though we're in enemy territory, can't we add some tension?

Okay, with two top-tier combatants, Ange and Luna, we have nothing to fear even if the entire Descent Strike Force attacks.

The group pushed forward without delay and soon found traces of the Golden Generation.

Anjie activated the spacetime technique.

Soon, an underground passage was restored.

As they ventured deeper into the tunnel, they soon arrived at the Golden Generation's hideout.

At this moment, four elders of the Advent Society were also present, and they were about to attack Livia and the others.

Therefore, no further explanation is needed.

"Moonlight Sword - Crescent Slash!"

Ange imprisoned time and space, and Luna took the opportunity to unleash the Moonlight Sword, instantly killing all the elders.

"Luna?!"

Livia stared at Luna in disbelief.

Its mouth was wide open, big enough to fit an egg.

The others looked over in disbelief.

"Angie is here too, and so is... Professor Rhodes?!"

At this moment, everyone in the Golden Generation was stunned.

……

When two people meet again after a long separation, it's natural to exchange pleasantries and reminisce.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides briefly exchanged information, and Rhodes learned that the president and vice president of the Advent Society were dead.

Next, everyone struggled with how to escape from this cyclical time loop.

They couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Rhodes.

After all, in their minds, Professor Rhodes was almost omnipotent.

"We don't need to forcibly destroy this spacetime barrier."

Rhodes did not disappoint everyone's expectations and calmly presented his solution.

"All we need to do is use Luna's power to perform a moonlight purification ritual and sever the spiritual connections between all the city's residents."

With Rhodes in command.

As soon as it got light, everyone sprang into action.

The Golden Generation was responsible for inscribing the Moonlight Spell within the city, while Rhodes and his group of four went to the highest point of Ula City, which was the ruined royal palace.

Looking at her once familiar home, now only ruins remain, with no trace of her parents or family members, Yuni felt a pang of sorrow.

On second thought, I felt fortunate to have escaped unscathed.

"Teacher, I've never heard of the purification ritual you mentioned."

Luna scratched her head sheepishly.

"Of course I haven't heard of it. This is a new technique that I recently deduced by reverse engineering the techniques used in Ula City."

Rhodes said it casually.

"Did you just... just derive that?"

Luna was speechless upon hearing this.

Each technique has its unique structure and logic, especially complex techniques involving memory and time and space.

Understanding it is beyond the reach of most people, let alone fully analyzing it in just one night and then going further to reverse engineer the technique to crack it.

"Nothing to be surprised about."

Rhodes shook his head.

It's just a live performance, right? He's quite experienced at this kind of thing.

"So I will teach you now, so you can understand this new Moonlight Spell as soon as possible."

Rod found an open space and began his outdoor teaching session.

Originally, Luna was the only one who was supposed to attend the class.

As a result, Angie and Yuni also joined in the fun and came over to listen in.

……

"The professor really does give Luna and Ange extra tutoring after class!"

As dusk fell, the five members of the Golden Generation returned and immediately arrested Rhodes, who was about to start class.

"No, no! This time is an exception!"

Luna quickly got up to protect Rhodes.

In any case, the spell incantation has been engraved on the open ground, and the purification ritual is ready.

Luna walked to the center of the magic circle, held the sword upright in front of her chest, and activated the spell.

The silver-white longsword was shrouded in a hazy, eerie light.

The pale, cold, and ethereal light gradually resonated with the magic array.

A beam of divine light shot out from the tip of the sword, soaring straight into the distant sky.

In an instant, night fell.

Behind the mist that shrouded the night sky, a soft halo seemed to shine through, dispelling the gloom in the darkness.

Rumble...

The palace buildings began to be restored, and a raging fire engulfed everyone.

"Word of Power - Extinguish the Flames"

Rhodes immediately activated his Word of Power, requiring no inscription and uttering only the spell.

The raging flames were instantly suppressed by Rhodes.

At that moment, the elders of the Advent Society led all the demons, fearlessly charging out of the fire.

The Golden Generation, who were well-prepared, immediately stepped forward to defend against the demons' attack.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

At the center of the magic circle.

Luna is still fully committed to holding the ceremony.

As the ceremony progressed, she was enveloped in a hazy moonlight.

The dark clouds dispersed, and a bright moon slowly emerged, taking over the entire night sky.

whisper--

The Moonlight Sword in his hand hummed softly.

In that instant, the entire space and time fell silent.

The endless moonlight transforms into starlight, scattering down from the distant night sky.

Centered on the magic array and rooted in the inscribed spells within the city, a silver-white epiphyllum blooms under the starlight.

The cursed demons of the entire city were illuminated by the moonlight.

In an instant, his body rapidly disintegrated.

Seeing that things were hopeless, the elders of the Advent Order roared and cursed Rhodes.

"The ending was already predetermined; death is inevitable! No matter how many times you try, all that will remain is despair! Rhodes, this is all your sin! We will be waiting for you in hell! Hahahaha..."

"So it was all your doing after all?"

Rhodes gazed upon the elders of the Descending Society.

They clearly knew that the world was going through a cycle.

"We know everything, we can see everything..."

The elders sneered coldly, then turned to ashes and vanished from the world.

at the same time.

"Huh? Me too..."

Yuni looked at her body in surprise.

Her entire body was also covered in a faint moonlight, which was slowly dissipating.

A jumble of chaotic memories flooded her mind, reminding her of the unbearable pain and despair of the night her country fell.

"Ah...ah...can anyone help me..."

Yuni curled up, letting out a painful groan.

"It's fine."

Rod gently pulled Yuni into his arms.

"Just consider it a long nightmare."

"professor……"

Yuni looked up, her eyes blurry with tears.

The tears in the corners of her eyes turned into starlight and disappeared.

"I really loved your class. Is it possible for me to hear your class again?"

"Of course you will. If you still remember after tonight, you'll be very welcome to attend my course."

"Professor... thank you... oh, I still bit my tongue in the end..."

Yuni smiled through her tears.

Her body gradually disappeared.

Its daybreak.

……

The morning sun rises from the eastern horizon.

The silent city of Ula finally awoke from its slumber.

The city's residents came out of their homes and stretched in the warm sunshine.

"What's going on? I feel like I overslept, but I also feel a bit refreshed."

They chatted and laughed together, starting their energetic day.

Rod and the others returned to the city hall.

The administrator and his subordinates miraculously survived.

They are victims caught up in the incident, and they retain memories of the time loop, knowing that Rhodes saved them.

Upon seeing Rod and the others, they immediately rushed over, their gratitude overflowing.

He was practically ready to break his staff and swear an oath of loyalty to him.

Rhodes stopped the administrator from flattering him.

He went directly to the reception room.

On the sofa in the reception room, a young girl was lying there, fast asleep.

"Professor, she is Princess Yuni, the last descendant of the Ula royal family. We don't know why she's here. However, according to the laws of the Empire, to preserve the royal bloodline, we will protect her as a princess."

"Really? Then I'll leave her in your care."

Rod smiled and nodded.

The sudden smile stunned the administrator.

Everything is done.

The group began their journey home.

Ange continued to lean on Rod's arm, while Luna bickered with the Golden Generation members, getting teased and joked about by Livia until she blushed.

Rhodes felt quite gratified as he listened to the laughter and cheers of the crowd.

But soon, he glanced at the system taskbar again.

The goal of destroying the Advent Society was not achieved.

The matter is far from over.
