Frilian: The Adventure of the Hero

Chapter 95 Shh~ Don't move, Aura

Watching the two flames slowly drift down and land steadily on the scales, Shane looked at Aura.

"Are you happy? Do you feel like you've already won?"

Aura laughed dismissively.

She proudly raised the scales in her hand, and it was clear that Xia En's side was too light, almost tilting to the sky.

"Is there any suspense in this? You're just a mere mortal."

"Yeah?"

The moment he finished speaking, Xia En activated [Numerical Mirror]. The effect of the affix was instantly realized. He, who originally had no magical power, suddenly had a terrifying pressure erupt around his body.

A massive magical power, exactly the same as Aura's, suddenly appeared.

Aura, who had been so confident of victory, suddenly widened his eyes!

The soul flame belonging to Xia En, which was originally light and airy, was visibly swaying, pulling the scales and slowly sinking.

The scales that were already tilted have now turned sideways.

"What's going on—"

Aura couldn't believe it.

"You clearly have no magic power—you despicable brat, what tricks did you use?!"

"Hearing you call someone despicable is quite a compliment. In that case, I'll be despicable to the very end."

"Aura, now it's your turn to take on three opponents at once."

As Shane finished speaking, the [One Against Three] spell was instantly formed. Due to possessing magical power comparable to Aura's, the effect of this spell seemed even stronger. In an instant, two points of light appeared in front of Shane's eyes.

These two points of light represent different choices.

[Crazy] and [Magic Power]

In the [One Against Three] spell, his first target for "collusion" was [Aura].

The description states that "One Against Three" allows the user to "collude" with three targets, briefly borrowing the most prominent attribute from each of the colluding targets and adding it to themselves. The effect lasts for 30 minutes.

However, it did not specify whether it was a "friendly target" or an "enemy target". Therefore, based on his previous verification of the defense-breaking effect of "Dual Blade Style: Ferocious Transformation", he was certain that this "target" was unlimited.

And that was indeed the case.

Oh.

I never expected that Aura would have two outstanding attributes. What I didn't expect was that the magic was so thoughtful, allowing users to choose freely.

He took the "crazy critic" without hesitation.

Xia En closed his eyes, tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze held the same twisted and crazed look as Aura's.

"Aura, I'm so happy, I'm starting to understand you."

Aura looked at Shane's eyes and unconsciously took a step back. What was going on?

Just an ordinary person with no magic powers —

Why————

"What, are you scared already? The scales haven't tipped yet, have they?"

Shaen walked step by step toward Awula.

Aula retreated step by step.

Fear spread through her heart.

Xia En chuckled softly.

"Roar~~ Demons actually know fear? Aura, are you starting to understand human emotions? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Aura's eyes flashed wildly. Shane in front of her was like a beast about to tear her apart, making her want to run away immediately.

No, how could she be afraid of a mere soldier!

"What a joke! What a joke! [Undead Legion], kill him!"

She roared as she gave orders to the puppets around her.

However, the puppets did not act.

She was shocked again.

Xia En kindly explained to her, "Didn't you just say that under the magic of the scales, external forces cannot interfere? What, you forgot in such a short time?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a coward, Awula, then what are you so arrogant about?"

"How boring."

Without wasting any more time, Xia En finished speaking and began the second "collusion".

This time, the target is still [Aura].

[Crazy] and [Magic Power]

Let's go for [Magic Power] this time.

The immense magical power emanating from Xia En doubled again.

The originally horizontal scales began to make a clattering, twisting sound, and the side belonging to Xia En started to sink uncontrollably.

Aura shook his head violently.

She wanted to escape, but the rules of the scales prevented her from leaving the spot.

"No, no—"

Click.

With a crisp snap, the scales tipped completely.

In that instant, Aura's terrified gaze vanished, and the scales in her hands fell to the ground.

Aura couldn't believe it.

But everything is already set in stone.

Not only was she controlled, but his undead legion, due to the suppression of their ranks, also obeyed Xia En.

In an instant, Xia En felt that chilling aura; they were all looking at him.

Just as believers watch the birth of a new king.

"Now, Aura, start from the very first thing you said when we met, and repeat backwards every single word you've ever said before, without missing a single one."

Shaen's goal was not to dominate Aura.

Finding the information you need is the most important thing.

Through the "decapitation officer" Dorat, Shane already knew that he wouldn't be able to get any accurate information from him.

However, he now controls Aura through the scales, allowing Aura to reappear on its own.

This is to circumvent the other party's plan to "silence" them.

As expected, under the control of the [Balance Magic], Aura was forced to repeat what she had said earlier, as Shane had requested.

Those insane, twisted commands, those nauseating "pre-meal" tortures—

Frillie gradually frowned, and when she heard her order for the puppets to skin humans, simply because eating them with the skin on was not pleasant, she couldn't stand it and directly raised her staff.

Xia En raised his hand and pressed down.

He listened expressionlessly.

Now he's a complete lunatic, so these words are nothing but child's play to him.

It even made him a little bit crazy.

Tell me more, let me see what other "fun" things you've done.

Until Aura uttered those words, "【Glaosam】, your strategy is indeed effective. You truly are one of the smartest among us, hahaha~~"

Frillie was slightly taken aback.

【The Miracle of Graosar】?

Wait a minute, wasn't he already defeated by me and Simmel?

She turned to look at Xia En.

Shane also noticed this sentence and looked at Frilian. From Frilian's slightly shocked expression, he immediately understood that Frilian was unaware of the inside story.

She had taught all the known great demons currently existing in Phyllen, so it's impossible for her to have missed any.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: [Glaosam the Miracle] is still alive, and considering his abilities—

"Frilian, you, Simmel, Haita, and Aize, the memories of the four of you have probably been altered."

Upon hearing Shane's guess, Frilian's eyes darkened.

She thought so too.

But—when—why was she completely unaware—

After hearing about the meeting between Aura and Miracle Glaosam, and realizing that the nonsensical ramblings contained no more useful information, Shane raised his hand to stop Aura from continuing his narration.

Then, he slowly walked over to Awula's side.

Aura stared at Shane in terror, desperately trying to back away, but Shane's will fixed her legs in place.

The force of "obedience to the scales" bound her.

"Crazy" Shane walked to Aura's side, put one hand on her shoulder, and forced her to kneel down. Then, he leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear: Shh~~ Don't move, Aura.
