In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

"Oh right, Ikki! And Alice and Shizuku too!"

After tending to her wounds, Stella immediately looked around, searching for her companions.

The first thing that catches the eye is Alice, also known as Nagi Arisuin.

This "big sister," who is usually known for her elegance, is now in a miserable state that is no less than Stella's, after all, Stella also saw her during the battle.

Alice tried to ambush him from the shadows, but the shadow she was hiding in was shattered by Skylar's stomp. This scene completely shocked Stella and made her understand a lesson...

In the face of true strength, all fancy abilities are useless, even if Alice can hide in the shadows.

So, if you want to fight against such a strong opponent, do you have to become stronger?

Become a demon!

Stella's inner desires had never been as strong as they were now, not even when she first learned of the existence of the Demon Realm.

After all, at that time, she only had a yearning for a new realm.

Now, Stella truly realized her weakness. Perhaps within the student body, she was absolutely dominant, and most students could not possibly be her match.

But in front of the world's top experts, she was just a joke... just like what happened before, she was beaten so badly that she couldn't even fight back.

This was exactly the effect Silky wanted: to thoroughly awaken the disciples through a brutal beating, and to make them realize how far they were from the pinnacle of the world.

Stella has clearly come to her senses and has resumed her pursuit of the ultimate goal.

"Alice... thankfully she's alright, she'll wake up in a little while."

"Shizuku is also recovering her body; I don't know how long it will take before she can return to human form."

"Finally, it's Ikki..."

To be honest, Stella originally planned to go find Ikki first, but his two teammates were right beside her, and she couldn't just leave them alone, so she decided to check on them first. Since Skyki was her former teacher, she shouldn't be willing to kill him.

Sure enough, when Stella followed the huge trail on the ground to its end, she saw Ikki leaning against a wall.

Compared to the others, Ikki's condition was far more miserable!

Blood was gushing from his entire body, turning him into a blood-soaked figure. From a distance, it was impossible to see a single patch of intact skin. Clearly, Skirk had done this on purpose, and only Ikki had been beaten so badly.

But why?

While pondering this question, Stella suddenly thought of Skylark's attitude towards Ikki... It seemed that among all of us, the person she valued the most was Ikki.

Is Ikki really that talented?

Stella is clearly the only A-rank knight among the four, born with A-rank magic power, the pinnacle of magic power in the world.

"Ikki... wait, what's this?"

However, Stella had only taken a few steps when she was blocked by a pitch-black door, freezing her in place.

The pitch-black gate... It is said to be the legendary gate to destiny, and also the path to the realm of demons!

Stella was certain that this door had nothing to do with her, so there was only one other person left to choose from.

Ikki!

Just then, Ikki, who had turned into a blood-soaked man, opened his eyes. There were also obvious changes in his body. A horn suddenly appeared on his forehead, making the boy look further and further away from humanity. Could it be that he was more like a demon from the legends of the Far East?

There was no magical fluctuation, but just being looked at by those eyes made Stella feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, as if she had fallen into an abyss. No matter how she summoned flames, she could only be sucked into the deeper abyss.

Stella had only ever felt this way with Skork, who was clearly someone capable of instantly killing her!

But to be honest, Stella doesn't really know who is stronger, Skyki or Ikki now.

Because in the eyes of ants, both humans and elephants are enormous creatures that cannot be described in words and are indistinguishable from each other.

That's right, Stella is like that ant right now. Because she is too weak, she has no way of knowing who is stronger. She can only shrink in her cave and grit her teeth, hoping that these monsters will leave her territory as soon as possible.

Soon, Ikki collapsed to the ground, and the oppressive feeling from before vanished, but Stella stood there, unable to let go for a long time.

Wow, that's impressive!

When Stella saw Ikki like this, envy shone in her eyes, and she gradually recalled her thoughts when she left the Kingdom of Familion.

Why travel so far to be an exchange student in a country in the Far East?

Of course, it's to become stronger!

Stella chose to come here because she wanted to become stronger and protect her country and people!

Now, her friend has become a so-called demon, but she is still stuck in the same place, focusing her attention on romance... Is this really a good thing?

Perhaps it was precisely because of her love life that she fell behind!

Unwilling!

And it was an intense sense of resentment!

I'm clearly more talented than Ikki, and I've worked just as hard, so why am I always lagging behind others?

raging!

Flames began to burn all around, quickly spreading outwards. Within the burning flames, streaks of dark chains appeared and disappeared, but Stella completely ignored them…

It wasn't until Stella fully regained consciousness and saw the bulging veins on the head of the board, Kurono, pointing a gun at her that she realized she had made a terrible mistake.

How could students set fire to a mountain?

Or is it the hill behind the school?

In short, she's going to lose money...

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 66 The Descent of the Abyss

Task progress +1

Seeing the number suddenly turn to 1 in her taskbar, Skirk, who was fighting Edelweiss, was stunned.

She didn't seem to have done anything just now, did she?

He only intended to beat up his disciples to make them realize the gap between themselves and the world's top experts, thinking everything would go according to his plan, but now…

It seems to be going a little too smoothly, doesn't it?

She had only just beaten up her own disciple, and yet someone immediately turned into a demon? Although she didn't know who it was, Skirk was genuinely gratified that she had managed to do this.

Furthermore, she also began to feel that her teacher, Surtroch's methods were very effective!

Back when they were still in school, Skirk and the disciples under Jingliu's guidance beat them up many times. Although it did improve the four's strength, the improvement was not significant.

After all, even when a teacher beats a student, there's a limit; they can't really beat them to death, right? The kind of educational method that the Evil Knights use, which involves killing everyone at the drop of a hat, may not be suitable for all worlds.

But now, reality has dealt a heavy blow to Skork.

The more you beat those four people to a pulp, the more they seem to improve? What kind of strange setting is this?

However, although it seems strange, will it actually be effective if you actually do it?

In that instant, the thought even crossed Skirk's mind of going back and beating those four people up again.

But considering that they had just been brutally beaten and their bodies might not be able to withstand it, they ultimately chose to give up.

But Skork's resentment wouldn't disappear so easily; instead, it would be transferred entirely to the person in front of her...

That's right, it's Edelweiss!

As a user of the power of the abyss, Skykirk could see that Edelweiss truly deserved to be one of the most talented people in this world. In such a short time, she was able to control the power of the abyss so exquisitely that she could even mimic the ice element just like Skykirk.

But that's all.

Admittedly, Edelweiss learned many things from Skork, such as the power of the abyss, the swordsmanship of Canria, and the Seven Transformations of the Serpent. However, she did not create any new abilities based on these foundations.

Given enough time, Edelweiss would undoubtedly be able to master the power of the Abyss, making her strength even more terrifying. However, she has only been exposed to the power of the Abyss for too short a time. Even though she has fully grasped what Skykirk taught her, she has only posed a threat to Skykirk.

It's like a lower-level player finally acquiring a powerful weapon, which allows them to deal damage to a higher-level player. Without that powerful weapon, they would never be able to inflict any damage. That's the absolute difference in skill between the two players!

Edelweiss has the potential to kill Skirk, but it's only a possibility, just like the enhancement system in DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online). There's always a possibility, but whether it will succeed is another matter.

So now, it's time for Skirk to show Edelweiss the true power of the abyss!

Let's see if this world can withstand the effects of the abyss!

Boom boom boom—!

Centered on Silky, countless purplish-black energies suddenly emerged from the girl's body, instantly turning the surrounding sky black.

Upon seeing this move, which he had never used before, Edelweiss immediately retreated and released several sword energies, wanting to test the specifics of the move.

However, those sword energies were like drops of water falling into the ocean, unable to cause even the slightest ripple.

It was only at this point that Edelweiss realized something was wrong.

She had already imbued her sword energy with the Abyss, but it was easily devoured by the opponent!

What is Skirk planning to do?

Edelweiss frowned, but the "abyss" before her eyes began to spread outwards, its influence on the world growing ever deeper.

It wasn't until the whole world was covered in darkness, and even the "abyss" began to fall, until it completely sank into the sea, that Edelweiss realized something was wrong.

At first, Edelweiss thought it was her imagination, but when she felt the sea level getting closer and closer, the Valkyrie's expression changed completely.

Sea level rise?

Is the sky covered in darkness?

they…

Are they really planning to destroy the world?

-

The world has clearly noticed the rising sea levels and has begun searching for the causes, but this does not affect the plane that is flying to the Far East.

As soon as the international conference concluded, the European nobles, just as previously stated, immediately dispatched their Bladebreaker units to the Far East on the fastest private planes.

They didn't know the location of Mirror Stream and Skykirk, nor did they have any clues, but the unit was still dispatched.

Not for any other reason than to save face.

It's like someone walking down the street and suddenly saying to everyone, "Look everyone! I've arrived here as agreed with someone, but I haven't seen that person. It has nothing to do with me; that person just didn't come!"

Whether the aliens Mirror Stream and Silky Kirk actually appeared or not was of no concern to them. The important thing was that they had already arrived here, in the far east where the aliens had previously lived, but they had not seen anyone.

Is this my fault?

We are not afraid of that alien at all. It is clearly those aliens who are afraid of us. Otherwise, why don't they stand up and refute us?

In today's world, it's enough to just put on a show for others; who would actually fight aliens?

The Hans commissioners haven't even made enough money yet!

These people never expected that danger was closing in on them!

On a plane bound for the Far East, a woodcutter, bored, looked out the window, intending to see the scenery, or rather, the seascape, of the Far East to make his days less dull.

But as soon as his gaze turned to the window, his pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had seen something terrifying, and he couldn't even speak.

Beneath the azure sea, a massive black shadow was approaching the plane, its size no less than that of a mountain.

The changes in this swordsman went unnoticed by anyone, but the changes in the outside world were also unaffected by the existence of these people.

Then, the enormous black shadow emerged from the sea...

It's a huge blue whale!

Compared to the fish and mammals in the sea, it seems rather unlike a living organism.

It's as if it was deliberately modified by someone!

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 67 The Dark Sea

The sky was covered in darkness, and not a single ray of light could be seen from above; the entire Earth was like this.

This scene inevitably reminds me of that tokusatsu show I watched before... That year, I became Gatanothor!

Indeed, what's the difference between this scene and the appearance of Gatanothor?

It was no different from the appearance of Emperor Ambrose.
