Sequence Wars: The Mythical Age is Created by Me

As the game screen fades from the nighttime setting of Tianhai City, Rias's pixelated figure is teleported back to her starting point.

That dilapidated Church of the Holy Cross.

Outside the dilapidated church, thunder and rain raged. After entering, Rias knelt before the broken cross, her movement and skills all locked down. She closed her eyes and faced the sins and curses head-on.

At this moment, Jiang Fan was no longer controlling a game character. The golden faith value in the upper right corner was turning into specks of starlight, converging into a divine cursor that he could move.

Black afterimages kept emerging from around the dilapidated church. They were knights, nobles, and clergy who had been killed by Rias. Now they were all as tattered as beggars crawling out of the mud. They no longer had their former pride and glory, but had become extremely ugly.

Their target was Rias, and Jiang Fan immediately understood how to play this secret realm mini-game.

He needs to use the joystick to place the cursor on these shadows and then press the X button to destroy them.

Jiang Fan tried a few times and found that the cursor had to hit the center of the body precisely to completely kill the shadow; even destroying its head wouldn't work.

There are at least a hundred shadowy figures on the small screen, making it quite difficult to locate them. It's easy to make a mistake in the rush and then lose everything.

At the top of the screen is a golden countdown timer.

[Dawn is still 360 seconds away]

Upon seeing this, Jiang Fan became fully focused, knowing he couldn't afford to make a single mistake in those six minutes.

He has plenty of chances to start over during the main event, but all his actions during the intermission determine whether Rias succeeds or fails in becoming stronger.

In the past, Jiang Fan would not have been good at rhythm games that required precise clicks more than twice per second.

But now, after using five [Qi Refining Body] techniques, his nerve reaction speed has increased significantly, and he actually managed to hold on for those six minutes.

He was like a true god, completely banishing all evil thoughts that wanted to corrupt the pure heart of the young girl.

When the dawn of the vigil arrives, the illusion vanishes.

A ray of morning light pierced through the broken dome of the church and fell on Rias.

Light has enveloped this place; the old faith has crumbled with the church, and the knight's "oath" has nowhere to rest. As her god, please guide your knight to a new path.

【Oath of Vengeance】: Death sweeps across the land, and the vengeful girl is a natural disaster.

[Become a Tier 2 "Death Knight", with a skill tree focused on attack and armor penetration]

【Oath of Protection】: Bearing the sins, protecting the remaining warmth.

[Become a Tier 2 "Thorn Knight", with a skill tree focused on defense and damage reflection]

This should be a standard advanced option, derived from the death intent of the Pale Knight and the cross Alice left for Rias.

But Jiang Fan noticed that Rias was emitting a golden light, as if she could be chosen.

So he pressed the joystick and the button at the same time, and interacted with Rias.

As expected, golden light emanated from Rias, and a magnificent palace dress appeared on her. The girl knelt down and extended her hand to the god.

【Oath of Divine Grace】: Swear to me that God is your justice!

[Become a second-tier "Blood Crown Knight." The god bestows a blood-stained crown upon the maiden, acknowledging and recognizing your identity: a great princess and a knight protecting her people!]

The clouds in the sky were torn apart, and a huge lightsaber phantom made entirely of golden pixels slowly descended from the top of the screen.

Jiang Fan pressed L2+R2 simultaneously to simulate the posture of holding a sword with both hands, slowly placing the greatsword on Rias's left shoulder, then lifting it up and placing it on her right shoulder.

"Rise, my knight."

Whether it was truly the existence of a god, or Jiang Fan simply wanted to lighten the burden on the girl's shoulders, he spoke softly.

Amidst the rain of light transformed from the giant sword, Rias's originally fictional armor began to sprout steel, roses, and thorns.

Her loose silver hair was tied up with a red ribbon, and the girl slowly raised her head, a blood-red glint flashing in her eyes.

[The game character "Rias Aether" has completed her rank breakthrough!]

[Gain the trait [Blood Crown]: 1% of all of Rias's attacks are converted into "True Damage" (ignores normal defense)]

Her skill tree has undergone a complete evolution.

[Martial Intuition Lv.3 upgraded to Mind's Eye Blade Lv.1 (S)] (S indicates that it is the most powerful skill in the second-tier sequence)

[Spiral Aura Lv.3 upgraded to Crimson Storm Lv.1 (S)]

The Knight's Armor Under the Rose Crown (Etherealized Body) upgrades to the Knight's Armor Under the Rose Crown (Blood Armor Manifestation)

Rias now possesses three yellow bars, allowing her to enhance her sequence abilities twice.

Jiang Fan felt that the mark of Rias in his palm was getting hot, and a sword and rose decoration appeared on it, surrounding the praying girl.

Immediately, the scalding heat surged into his veins.

Call ~

He felt like his whole body was being scalded by boiling water.

Seeing that Rias had returned from the secret realm and was looking around, Jiang Fan immediately locked the game console in the drawer and ran to take a shower.

In reality...

Miss Knight stood on the roof of an old residential building, with the entrance to the secret realm slowly closing behind her.

Rias's silver hair danced in the evening breeze, and the red ribbon in her hair stood out against the darkness.

"Come out."

She parted her lips slightly.

"Don't misunderstand, I meant no harm."

Xiao Ci walked out from beside the water tank.

This girl is ridiculously young; she doesn't look like a third-order sequence user at all.

Due to the boiling power of her will after the upgrade, the "fuzzy" characteristic was eliminated, so Xiao Ci was fortunate enough to be the first to see Rias's true appearance.

Those distinctive blood-red eyes, and the neatly styled silver hair bound in the air by a hairband, all told Xiao Ci about the other person's identity.

"You must be the mysterious person who helped Tianhai resolve that 'Calamity' artifact issue. I am Xiao Ci, from the National Security Bureau of Jinling City. Thank you for your help."

Xiao Ci was experienced and naturally understood the importance of having many friends. As long as there was no substantial conflict of interest between them, it was best to treat each other as friends.

"It's nothing, just each getting what they need."

Rias initially intended to leave, but she realized the opponent was very strong.

It was so powerful that she felt suffocated, much like how she felt when she first met the heretical BOSS.

Although the gap isn't that big now, there's no need to waste your energy here.

"Could we talk somewhere else? I can assure you on behalf of Tianhai that we will only be friends, not enemies."

Xiao Ci spoke sincerely, not because the other party was a strong person. He was always gentle and refined, and acted in a proper manner towards everyone.

The silver-haired girl summoned a cross-shaped sword from the back of her hand and pointed it at the refined man holding a folding fan.

"Get out of the way."
