Ekaterina was unusually calm, hovering in the sky facing the moon, showing complete trust in her lover.
Nolan smiled slightly, her dark and delicate body blending into the night, fearless of the stars and moon. With a wave of her hand, the moonlight vanished, and her magical, casual counterattack once again stunned the audience.
The closer the Mercedes-Benz moonlight got, the dimmer it became, until finally only scattered silver rays remained, completely suppressed by the night and swallowed into endless darkness, turning into specks of dust that fell into the ink pool.
"What!?"
Mentor Rhine's face turned ashen. Rodriguez's strongest technique had been rendered ineffective in front of the witch. What kind of power was that?!
Rodriguez's lips moved, but he couldn't speak for a long time. His feelings were the most direct. When Nolan opened her eyes, the darkness was her domain. He was fighting against the entire night.
How can the light of the stars and moon illuminate the darkness?
Without a doubt, that is the embodiment of some kind of truth, even surpassing the phases of the moon.
But how can mortals possess multiple truths? Whether it's the Crimson Form or the Diamond Will, they are powerful laws beyond mortal comprehension, yet the God Hunter Clan has managed to claim them as their own.
Helpless, Rodriguez had this thought for the first time.
This is the third stage of the killing stance. Under the moonlit night, Nolan, holding a katana, looked languid. In Roland and Bowen's eyes, he looked exactly like that infinitely rampant madwoman.
Not much, just a glance was enough for her to capture Tess's traces of truth and perfectly imitate them through a resonance deep within her bloodline.
The moonlight receded and embraced the Night Mother, darkening the scene as the witch stripped away every ray of light.
The audience and mentors were anxious, but their vision was becoming increasingly blurred. They didn't know what was happening, but they could see that the witch's last trump card posed a significant threat to the defending champion, and the situation was no longer optimistic.
Rodriguez gritted his teeth, knowing that his time was running out. He gathered his spirit and stepped forward, his cross-shaped sword flashing as fast as lightning to slash back the moonlight.
706. As dark as ink until night
The overlapping moon blades approached Nolan, then suddenly split in two, the upper edge aimed directly at the witch's body, while the lower edge spun like a dragon, the exquisite technique breathtaking.
The ink surged slowly, unable to stop the high-speed crescent moon. The moonlight tore through the night and reached the dragon rider girl. The twin blades crossed and pierced through Nolan's body.
Hit?
Rodriguez squinted, and the next second he saw the girl's delicate body gush out ink as dark as night, then the wound contracted, completely intact, and her flat stomach was still without an ounce of fat.
In vain, the Moonlit Hunter is a reaper in the darkness, coexisting with the night.
Nolan didn't even resist, just stared blankly at Rodriguez, his fingers weaving the moon phases in the night ink, getting used to the new pose. His game time was over.
It seems she really doesn't want to have dinner with me...
With all hope dashed, Rodriguez's smile was bitter, and his disappointed look was not because defeat was inevitable, but because he had missed a golden opportunity to cultivate their relationship.
As the last ray of moonlight was swallowed by darkness, the screen went completely black, and neither side could be seen anymore. The Mirror Hall erupted in commotion.
"The moonlight... has disappeared?"
"I can't see anything!"
"Who really won?"
......
Nolan slowly raised her head, her cold eyes gazing into the depths of the void through the simulated barrier. She had never regarded Rodriguez as a true enemy and was ready to meet a new challenge.
The Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament has come to an end. This night sky is the battlefield that the beautiful goddess king has prepared for the dragon tide.
Clang!
Rodriguez dropped his sword. Although he was full of questions and still couldn't figure out why he had lost, he felt a sense of relief. Nolan's strength was undeniable, and he could finally unload his heavy burden.
His pale face was filled with incomprehension, yet he remained captivated by the girl's moonlit figure, as if the bright moon had returned to darkness, and that was his destiny.
"As expected, it has to be you."
Rodriguez sighed, seemingly accepting the arrangement of the stars, letting the ink surge and embrace the night.
Until a cold shout came from the darkness.
"Grip your weapon tight, kid. The real fight is about to begin."
Rodriguez, who thought he would be eliminated, opened his eyes, slightly confused. Behind him, a purple moon rose again, and his body was once again filled with abundant soul energy.
The moon phases, enhanced by the breath of the night, become even more powerful, imbued with ink, and ever more abundant than before.
why is that?
The screen was completely dark, but the mentors offstage could no longer contain themselves. The principals exchanged glances, unable to assess the situation on the field. With concern, they all looked at the academy dean, awaiting further instructions.
At this moment, Vivian's delicate body trembled slightly, and she quietly stood up, as if she had sensed something. Everyone was waiting for her to make a decision, but her eyes were filled with fear and rage.
Click!
A rift appeared in the center of the main stage, startling Lin and Serani, who were originally there to welcome the champion of this year's Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament. They immediately chanted a spell to prepare for battle, but unexpectedly saw a tall, black-armored knight carrying another strong winged race member crash through the spatial barrier.
"Uh!"
Lin covered her red lips and immediately cast a prayer spell to restore their lives.
The Black Knight was none other than the invincible one who had returned. He managed to bring back Reinhardt, but the outcome did not seem as optimistic as the other mentors had hoped.
Both men, covered in blood and barely breathing, collapsed heavily to the ground, as if they had just survived a fierce battle. The old headmaster was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, while Invincible's iconic sturdy armor was now tattered and torn.
“Michelle!”
Reinhardt's eyes were bloodshot. Having just escaped and before he could even reveal the truth, he roared as if to warn everyone.
The mentors on the platform were stunned. Before they could figure out what was going on, the usually calm Commander-in-Chief of the Unicorn Cavalry suddenly snapped out of his daze and immediately bit his finger and pressed it to the badge on his chest.
The eight-winged emblem, stained with blood, gleamed brightly, representing the supreme authority of the Seraphim Council, summoning the entire army of the Unicorn Knights.
For the old principal to be so terrified, it must be an extremely terrible threat!
The commotion in the hall intensified, with the audience looking up, screaming, and shouting.
At this very moment, the entire Free Federation and even the whole world witnessed this heinous crime through live broadcasts. Someone dared to harm the Lord of Lionheart City within the territory of Trap Island, not to mention that Principal Reinhardt himself was a renowned and powerful extraordinary expert.
Who is it?!
The shocking turn of events ignited the Mirror Hall. The thing the Virgo Star Envoy least wanted to see had finally happened. There was only one fate for the madman who openly defied the Federation and caused trouble at the Star Festival.
Vivian, bathed in starlight, arrived at the center of the stage, helped Invincible up, and scolded her playfully, "You still won't tell me what happened!?"
You'll find out soon enough.
Invincible sighed, picked up his greatsword, and turned to look at the blurry breach in the spatial barrier.
The void rift had torn open again before it had even healed, and it seemed the thugs were right behind them. Vivian's gaze was gloomy, and the Libra mark on her forehead flickered.
Sizzle!
A golden spark burst forth from the crack, locked onto Invincible, and slammed into the greatsword. The massive impact slammed Invincible into the wall.
The explosion roared and the electric current spread throughout the venue. The main stage was covered in dust and in a mess. The audience left their seats and ran away. Screams were everywhere. The sudden change triggered a chain reaction, and the scene was in chaos.
The instructors then realized what was happening and promptly stepped in to calm the students and civilians, prevent further rioting, and set up multiple barriers to isolate the main stage from the outer area.
At this moment, three figures emerged from the smoke and dust, having tracked the void rift to this place, making no attempt to conceal their identities.
Orotanbe, with a cold expression, took the lead. Behind him were two mature women, also gem dragons with giant horns and long tails, whose auras were extraordinary and powerful. They were the Orange Fluorite Dragon Mother and the Moonstone Dragon Mother.
The appearance of the three leaders of the Variegated Valley surprised even Vivian for a moment, not to mention the other mentors and Star Lords. The Aries Star Envoy's face was full of disbelief.
Aside from Nolan, no one knew just how terrifying the combined power of the three dragon kings was. Even the puppet armor, with its ferocious artifact, could only barely survive the torrential downpour of forbidden spells.
"why?"
The academy head reacted just like Reinhardt, angrily denouncing him.
The Valley of Splendor has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, remaining neutral and never participating in any conflicts. It should not attack the equally neutral and friendly Freedom faction.
"Having committed such a crime, don't think you can leave Rhine City so easily!"
Before the dragons could respond, Liszt plucked the strings of his harp, and several beams of light descended from the sky, drawing a prison on the ground in an attempt to bind the three dragon kings.
"ridiculous."
The Orotanbe Staff slammed into the earth, and a ring of dark blue ripples immediately shattered the pillar of light, clearly demonstrating its power surpassing that of Lister.
Even the Winged Lion Chieftain couldn't do anything to him, let alone this group of half-breeds. Now that the guardian of Lionheart Fortress has fallen, who else can stop the dragons?
707. Night and Moon, Back on Stage
Reinhardt coughed up blood and lay on the ground struggling desperately, trying to tell everyone the truth, but he collapsed time and time again. If he hadn't been invincible, he would have died a hundred times over.
"Despair? Resentment? It doesn't matter, welcome to join... the army of the dead."
The demon overlord in mid-air muttered to himself, prematurely sentencing the Free Federation to death as an observer. In his eyes, Lister and Reinhardt were excellent "materials," just like the Yellow Rock King and the Rainbow Archbishop.
This situation was unexpected by everyone. The invited celebrities hid in their private boxes, not daring to make any rash moves. Olivia and the others finally understood the subtle meaning that Nolan had expressed before his appearance.
The little dancer trembled all over, her eyes darting around, as if she had already sensed something, but she couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it.
Alicia hid to the side, protecting the panicked Zenora and Messiah alongside Maria, but both were worried about Joseph's safety. No conspiracy is ever a spur-of-the-moment thing.
"Dragon King with Dark Curtains, please explain your insane actions!"
Vivian threatened sharply, her icy voice reverberating through the starry sky. Her delicate body, floating in the air, had transformed into pure astral energy, and the forbidden spell of destruction was ready to erupt at any moment.
She was already furious when she saw the invincible state. From then on, whenever she heard a word that was offensive, Vivian would tell Orotanbe why she was called the "Planetary Saint" and why she was the dean of the Star Alliance School.
The Dark-Clad Dragon King looked around, seemingly enjoying the sight of these lowly creatures scurrying away in terror; this was how ants should behave in the face of a dragon.
Absolute fear, boundless awe, not covetousness or lust!
"The attempt to silence them failed."
Orotanbe bowed respectfully, showing no fear in the face of so many powerful figures. Instead, he mocked, "However, it seems we've inadvertently disturbed a bunch of pigs' revelry. As for an explanation... before that, let me ask you a question: Would a free man apologize to an ant he accidentally stepped on?"
"..."
Silence fell over the surroundings; no one understood the Sapphire Dragon King's ambiguous taunt.
Skadi clenched her fists, veins bulging on her forehead. If she weren't afraid of hurting other spectators, she would have rushed forward long ago.
"No, of course you won't."
