In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

Stella was truly envious of Ikki, because even now, she hadn't caught up with him; she had only just begun to understand him.

That feeling made Stella uncomfortable, because it happened when she was being beaten up by Skykirk!

In other words, if you want to continue to find that feeling, you have to fight someone who is dozens of times stronger than you and get beaten up.

accurate!

"Haha, it was just luck. If it weren't for Teacher Silky, I probably wouldn't have been able to reach the level of a demon so quickly, right?"

Seeing Stella pouting, Ikki just smiled helplessly, then went to Stella's side and hugged her.

"In the end, it's all thanks to the teachers."

"Even at a time like this, why are you still siding with her?"

Stella became even more dissatisfied after hearing Ikki's words.

She used to respect this teacher when they were in school, but something happened recently and Skykirk suddenly became an alien, an alien that invaded Earth, and was wanted by the whole world.

Even Stella was completely taken aback by this change, but she knew that from now on, her relationship with Skykirk and Mirror Stream could only be that of enemies!

Moreover, even a global manhunt might not be effective, since it's impossible for ordinary people to catch them. So, providing information is all that's needed.

"Haha, although Teacher Skylark did go a bit too far when she fought us before, her sword still doesn't carry any killing intent, just like always..."

"So I guessed that her purpose in attacking us wasn't necessarily to kill us or humiliate us, but simply to make us stronger."

"Huh? Why is that?"

Stella was completely bewildered. As a princess of a country, she was quite knowledgeable, but she just couldn't understand why Skyker would do this. Why would she help the enemy become stronger?

"Perhaps, it's simply a desire to fight a strong opponent?"

Ikki raised his head and looked up at the sky, his tone tinged with a touch of emotion.

As a princess of the country, Stella naturally comes into contact with many things related to interests in her daily life, so she naturally feels that they do these things for their own benefit.

However, Ikki is different. As a swordsman, Ikki is very pure, which is why he is able to understand and discover the problems in Mirror Style and Sky Kirk.

Sometimes, ideas don't need to be so complicated. Maybe they just want to cultivate a group of strong individuals to fight against them?

"what?"

This reason truly made Stella's eyes widen.

She fights to protect her country, and she came to this academy in the Far East to study, simply to become stronger.

So Stella fought to protect her country, but Skykirk was different; she simply wanted to become stronger. That's why Stella couldn't understand or imagine it.

"So there really are people like that in the world. I thought they only existed in movies..."

Stella sighed, then turned her gaze to the distance, where a kimono-clad loli had quietly appeared beside them, smiling as she watched the two embracing.

"It seems I've come at the wrong time!"

"I never imagined your relationship would turn out like this~"

The visitor was none other than Nishikyo Ningyin, one of the two great demons of the Far East.

However, although the little girl was smiling, a hint of seriousness could still be seen on her face, which was enough to show that she had come here with something important.

"Teacher Ningyin, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were going to a meeting at the international channel?"

Ignoring Ning Yin's teasing, the two got straight to the point, which made Ning Yin, who was planning to make a joke, purse her lips.

"I was originally planning to lighten the mood, but since you're all so eager to know, I'll tell you."

"Based on the analysis of major international forces, we have determined the targets of Silky Kirk and Mirror Stream..."

"This is our Far East!"

"After all, those strange creatures in the ocean have always been around the Far East, with only a very few wandering in the oceans around the world."

"If a major war really breaks out, the entire island might sink!"

Ning Yin's expression was very serious, and then she immediately looked at Stella.

“Stella, when we came to this conclusion, your father, His Highness King Familion, immediately wanted you to return home!”

"We agree with their idea, so we've come specifically to find you and prepare to send you back..."

Before Ning Yin could finish speaking, a rough voice immediately interrupted her.

"How could I possibly go back at this time? This country is about to face annihilation, how could I possibly turn a blind eye?"

"But this isn't your country, is it? You've only been here for a little over a month. Are you really willing to stay here?"

When Ning Yin said this, her expression was unusually serious, and she even exuded the oppressive aura of a demon, putting immense pressure on Stella.

Even so, the red-haired girl did not back down.

"That's right, I'm going to stay here!"

"According to what's circulating internationally, this is a disaster for all of humanity. If our fighting force is dispersed, we will definitely be defeated one by one."

"Instead of splitting up our fighting force, we should concentrate it all together!"

"Really... I don't even know what to say." Ning Yin didn't know what to say, but judging from the expression on her face, she seemed quite happy.

"That's right, that's the international consensus as well, which is why most of the magic knights are starting to gather here in preparation for the impending crisis."

"but…"

"Although you are just high school students and shouldn't be on the battlefield, even if I try to stop you, you definitely won't listen, right?"

Ning Yin unfolded her fan, and her eyes became serious.

"So let me train you!"

“All the magic knights in the Far East, including the apprentice knights in the academy, have already taken action.”

Let's celebrate this final moment together!

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 70 The Power of the Dragon!

"It really was Ikki who first became a demon..."

"I don't know whether to say he's the main character or that his efforts far exceed those of ordinary people."

"But if we're talking about talent, he's definitely one of the top two in the world, right?"

During this time, the world order underwent tremendous changes, but none of it concerned Jingliu and Silky. The two girls simply hid in the space formed by the abyss, quietly observing the changes in the outside world, or rather, the changes in the Far East.

After all, their current location is right above this island nation in the Far East, isn't it? After all, this is the setting of the original story, and they can't do anything without going around this place.

So Skork simply arranged for the abyssal creatures in the sea to surround this country in the Far East. Except for airplanes flying high in the sky, anyone who passed by had to leave something behind.

This is exactly what countries around the world have observed through satellites, leading them to concentrate their resources in the Far East, or at least in the vicinity of this country, such as East Asia, Russia, and Australia.

But putting aside external matters, the most important thing is the situation inside the Far East, namely the training of the four disciples.

Ikki has successfully become a demon, and his future path is up to him. However, among the other three, another demon needs to emerge.

The most suitable candidate is Stella. After all, she is the female protagonist in the original work, so her talent is definitely not bad, and her level of effort is no less than Ikki's.

Everyone would admire someone who is talented, blessed with good fortune, and constantly strives for success, right?

So during this time, Skykirk focused all her attention on Stella, only occasionally glancing at the other three to see if they had come up with any new tricks using their sword-wielding skills.

Unfortunately, Alice and Shizuku's strength seems to be locked in; Shadow Space and Elementalization seem to be their limits. To step through the gate of the Demon Realm is like trying to reach the sky in one step.

So in the end, we still have to rely on Stella!

In the world of the Failed Knight, although there is a realm called the Demon, anyone who can reach this realm can transcend their original destiny.

But only now does Skylark realize that all of this is illusory... In the end, the very idea of ​​"being able to transcend one's own destiny" may be a part of destiny itself, and even if you can get close to it to a certain extent, you can never reach it.

This is fate!

Upon seeing this, Skirk's expression changed, and so did Jingliu's. Although they did not like the so-called theory of fate, at least in this world, fate was something that was already determined.

unless…

Let her, the time traveler, influence the fate of the world!

Thinking of this, Skykirk couldn't help but raise her right hand. A special energy flickered in her hand, sometimes huge, sometimes tiny, as if it were a bomb that could destroy the world one second and a tiny insect that could be seen everywhere on the roadside the next.

If the power of the abyss were used, it might be possible to infect the power of destiny in this world and completely change its original direction. That's what Skykirk did before, but she only came into contact with the power of destiny.

But if we use the energy of destiny, perhaps we can completely destroy the fate of this world? After all, this energy of destiny belongs to "destruction"!

To give an analogy, the fate of the world of the Failed Knights is equivalent to that of the erudite sage in the Starry Sky Railway worldview. No matter how hard those swordsmen try, whether they awaken into demons or complete their exorcism and awakening, they are still within the scope of the fate of this world.

In other words, fate had already made the arrangements!

And now, Silky and Mirror Stream are like Lai Gu Shi who wants to kill Bo Shi Zun, preparing to give that high and mighty guy a big surprise!

If we're lucky, we might even be able to completely destroy the fate of this world and liberate all those who are imprisoned by destiny.

But for now, let's prioritize the mission...

Just then, a familiar light appeared in Skirk's line of sight, immediately attracting the girl's attention.

The light felt incredibly familiar to her, and she even sensed a faint indication that she was about to break through her current limitations and reach the next level.

That is Stella's flame!

-

Boom boom boom—!

In order to help Kurogane Ikki, Stella chose to fight Nishikyo Nene alone, and asked her to use as much power as possible to put more pressure on her.

Stella was absolutely certain that she could only achieve a significant improvement when she was in a state of near-death.

A tremendous force of gravity descended from the sky, instantly pressing the red-haired girl to the ground. It not only deformed the surrounding land but also caused noticeable changes to the girl's body.

Click!

With a crisp sound, Stella's bones shattered.

Under such terrifying gravity, Stella's bones didn't even last a second before turning to dust, causing her body to collapse, becoming neither human nor fish, like an octopus in the sea.

However, this period of time did not last long. As a dazzling light began to flash from the girl's body, the flames officially ignited.

Another crisp sound rang out, and Stella's body, which should have collapsed, unexpectedly swelled up again, looking like an inflated balloon or a doll.

Those outside might not know what happened, but Stella herself knew perfectly well that it was her flames that had worked.

Under the influence of this raging flame, Stella transformed from a "skin" back into a complete person in just a few seconds, and even stood up amidst the terrifying gravity.

Has she really fully recovered?

Of course not!

Ningyin's gravity is so terrifying that it can even pull meteorites down from outer space. Now it's only affecting a little girl. How could it only have this little bit of power?

Gravity was at work every second, crushing the girl's bones. But the undying flame within her body was constantly repairing Stella's damaged corpse.

The two forces thus formed a delicate balance, until…

Stella stood up completely despite the gravity, her entire body engulfed in terrifying flames!

At that moment, her regenerative abilities defied gravity!

What's even more intriguing is that a figure slowly emerged from the flames engulfing the girl...

It was a giant crimson dragon roaring at the sky!

In other words, what Stella used was…

The power of the dragon!

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 71 Give a Push

As time went on, the atmosphere in the Far East grew increasingly tense, and even the temperature dropped several degrees. The seawater along the coast froze into ice. If it weren't for the powerful abyssal creatures in the sea, people would probably have come here to ice skate long ago.

At the same time, along with this chilling aura, there was also an indescribable killing intent in the air!

Such a terrifying scene unfolding in the world immediately made many people feel that the end of the world was coming, especially the people of the Far East, many of whom vented their dissatisfaction on platforms called the internet.

Of course, this so-called dissatisfaction is actually more about shock and fear.

What exactly happened in the Far East? Why has our land become like this?
