You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

Having known Shilo for so long, Cecilia honestly feels like she's almost become stupid.

After all, most of the time you don't need to think about anything, you just need to follow the other party's instructions.

The only thing to think about is how to fight the dragon raid tonight.

Cecilia slowly withdrew her power, but just as the brilliant holy light began to turn transparent, a sudden change occurred!

Cecilia's expression froze instantly. After the docile holy power within her body was withdrawn, another strange and terrifying power suddenly surged out from the depths of her body, stirring up a furious storm around her!

Despite the sudden chaos, Anya reacted quickly, using spatial magic to teleport everyone to safety almost the instant Cecilia lost control.

"Cecilia!!"

Shiloh took two quick steps forward, but was blocked by the storm, his face grim.

He knew that this was probably the "calamity" that the God of Light had spoken of.

"Ugh... Ahh ...

The murky air currents from the storm obscured everyone's vision, but Cecilia's suppressed cries of pain could still be heard very clearly.

Upon hearing this cry of pain, everyone's hearts tightened, filled with worry for Cecilia.

"Sister Cecilia, what's wrong?"

Irene's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the figure struggling in pain in the center of the storm, her petite body trembling slightly.

In Irene's perception, something seemed to be changing about Cecilia... If this continued, she might turn into a Cecilia she didn't recognize!

"Master! You must save Cecilia! She, she—!"

Irene clutched Shiloh's sleeve tightly, her fluorescent blue eyes brimming with tears.

The things she sensed were difficult to put into words. The changes happening to Cecilia at this moment made Irene's thoughts very chaotic. She could only use her eyes to convey her anxiety and panic.

Xiluo patted Irene's little hand and said earnestly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

That short sentence, however, acted like a stabilizing force, giving the women a great sense of security.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and Elena lifted her up in her arms.

A soft kiss landed on Shiloh's cheek. Elena looked into her lover's deep, dark eyes, as dark as the night sky, and said, "I may not be able to help much for the time being, but the only thing I can do is stand by your side in this way."

"Shiloh, I believe in you, we all believe in you. You must possess the power to change fate!"

Before he could finish speaking, another delicate body embraced him; it was Aria.

Arya didn't say much, but left a lip print on Shiloh's other cheek, then stroked his face and said softly, "Bring Cecilia back, just like you've held my hand many times."

Afterwards, Irene and Fphloe each kissed Shiloh on the cheek, and finally, their gazes both fell on Anya.

Seeing her sisters' performance, Anya's pretty face slowly flushed red, and her icy blue eyes began to sparkle.

Seeing this, Shiloh was about to let the matter slide and go directly to rescue Cecilia when Anya suddenly stepped forward and supported Shiloh's shoulder.

After looking him over several times, she noticed that her younger brother's cheeks were covered with the marks of the girls, leaving only his forehead and... lips.

Anya felt an unprecedented dryness in her throat. She swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose the approach that best suited her family: she gently kissed Xiluo on the forehead.

"Go, bring her back."

Anya smiled gently, her eyes filled with pride for her younger brother.

"Ah."

Shiloh nodded vigorously, then vanished from his spot, passing through the storm and stepping into Cecilia's domain.

Watching Shiloh's disappearing figure, Anya clenched her knuckles tightly to hide her growing anxiety.

If she could, Anya would like to replace the person who went to calm Cecilia down with herself, but she also knows that Shilo would never allow it.

From her sisters' conversations, Anya learned that Xiluo possessed a very magical power and often used a unique cultivation method called "dual cultivation" to train with them.

This training allows them to develop a special connection, which is why Anya sent Shilo to rescue them.

In addition, Anya's gaze, as she looked in the direction where Xiluo had gone, also concealed a deep sense of loss.

If only I could have kissed him just now...

Anya's mind flashed to Xi Luo's lips, and she unconsciously pursed her own lips. Then she was suddenly startled and shook her head vigorously.

No, no, I'm the older sister! How could I have such thoughts about little Xiluo?!

Despite giving herself such a serious warning, Anya felt a pang of sadness when she thought of the affectionate way Shiloh and her sisters were, and she wished she could kick them all away and replace them with herself.

Ugh……

sieve--!

A wind blade struck, but vanished instantly just before it reached Xiluo.

At this moment, Shiloh was using a wind magic shield, which created a protective aura around him, blocking all incoming wind blades and rubble.

The deep bond established through several dual cultivation sessions allowed Shiloh to clearly sense Cecilia's direction even amidst a storm where sight was obscured.

At the same time, the signals from the link were telling Shiloh that he needed to speed things up.

Cecilia's aura is shifting in a direction completely opposite to her own.

If Cecilia is a righteous paladin, then the awakening aura is filled with tyranny and bloodlust.

This aura gave Xi Luo a very familiar feeling, after all, his Yang meridians started from here.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Shiloh's forehead. Even after passing through the most turbulent part of the airflow, Shiloh didn't want to rest.

In the original story, Cecilia spent her time fighting evil and protecting the world in the Fateline. However, because Cecilia's rank plummeted at the start of the game, she only returned to the peak of the [Stage of Stars] after the main story ended.

In the original plan, Cecilia, upon reaching the [Stairway of Eclipse], would be involved in a much grander story, so this chapter ends here.

However, Shiloh did not recall ever mentioning Cecilia's unusual condition anywhere.

No, something seems to be...

Shiloh covered his head, searching through his memories. He recalled a very brief mention in the game's expansion pack—Cecilia achieved a great victory in her first battle, but afterwards, she was sick for several days.

According to soldiers' recollections at the time, Cecilia was likely overwhelmed by anger, and upon regaining consciousness, the battlefield before her triggered an excessive stimulus to her brain's protective mechanisms, leading to her illness.

In other words, Cecilia may harbor an extremely bloodthirsty beast deep within her heart.

The two completely different styles of conduct are as opposite as divine light and bloody tyranny.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Cecilia is not only related to the God of Light, but her fate is likely to be inextricably linked to the God of Tyranny!

If we follow this line of reasoning, Vera, who was originally Cecilia's nemesis, temporarily stepped down from the opposing side after making a bet with herself.

In this way, the fate of the vacant position of tyranny fell upon Cecilia, bringing out the tyranny deep within her soul.

Damn!

Xi Luo was furious. If she had known, she would never have let that dog of a screenwriter who was full of personal projects write such a fast-paced plot. All he could think of was darkness and cruelty!

Chapter 176 [Blood Asura] (Two Chapters Combined)

"Cecilia!!!"

Shiloh shouted, and the next moment, the surrounding storm suddenly froze, and an extremely bright scarlet light slowly shone from it.

Sylvie squinted, blocking the light, and walked toward the source of the light.

Upon closer inspection, Xiluo was shocked to discover that the sacred weapon that had been floating in the sky had transformed into a grotesque and twisted dark red blood blade, each blade emanating a terrifying and tyrannical aura.

Enveloped in crimson light, Cecilia's sacred armor had vanished, replaced by a slightly thicker blood armor. This added a touch of murderous aura to the girl's holy golden hair, and the intense killing intent emanating from her was almost suffocating.

The rapid pounding of his heart was clearly audible, but Shiloh still stubbornly withstood the immense pressure and walked step by step toward Cecilia.

Tear--!

As they approached, the malevolent wind blades that unconsciously emanated from Xi Luo tore several rips in his clothes, and the blades floating in mid-air trembled slightly, as if they might attack at any moment.

Even for Xi Luo, the attack methods of a [World-Erosion Rank] transcendent would make it absolutely impossible for him to escape unscathed.

However, at this moment, Shiloh showed no fear. Instead, he reached out to Cecilia, and swirling Yin and Yang energies emerged from his hand, passing through the layers of blood-fiend energy surrounding her and entering Cecilia's body.

"Uh……"

As soon as the Yin and Yang energies entered her body, Cecilia let out a muffled groan, and then her tightly furrowed brows, which had been furrowed in her sleep, relaxed considerably.

As the Yin and Yang energies entered her body, Cecilia's malevolent aura suddenly froze for a moment. Then, a faint holy golden light emanated from her body, counteracting the dense bloodthirsty aura.

As the bloodthirsty aura gradually dissipated, Shiloh was able to bypass the layers of protection and reach Cecilia in front of him, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Cecilia, Cecilia?"

Shiloh held Cecilia in his arms, calling her softly as he circulated the Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture to sense and restore Cecilia's condition.

With the power of dual cultivation, Cecilia, whose mind had been clouded by the bloodthirsty aura, quickly regained her senses. After opening her eyes, she looked at Shilo with some confusion and murmured, "What... happened to me?"

Seeing Cecilia return to normal, Shiloh breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the training ground protection device in the sky that had been destroyed, and said, "Let's go back first."

Inside the medical room, after Anya examined Cecilia, she said, "She's just a little weak, but otherwise fine."

Upon hearing the news, everyone felt relieved and smiled.

"Thank you, Anya. Everyone, thank you for your help."

Cecilia took a sip of the medicine and nodded apologetically.

"Don't say that, we're all family... But, Miss Cecilia, what exactly is wrong with your health?"

Aria shook her head, then asked with some concern.

As soon as the question was asked, everyone's eyes turned to Cecilia.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia lowered her head slightly, gazing at the liquid medicine she held in her palm. After a moment of silence, she uttered only two words: "Fate."

"After advancing to the [Erosion Realm Rank], I... recalled some things from the past."

Afterwards, Cecilia recounted her brutal fighting style when she first went to the battlefield.

"That power is brutal and extremely difficult to control. I'm afraid... I'll become someone completely unlike myself."

As Cecilia spoke, her pretty face was filled with desolation and fear, and she instinctively leaned closer to Shiloh.

Shilo put his arm around Cecilia's shoulder and gently comforted her, "No, as long as you understand your true self, you will definitely be able to control this power. After all, you are Cecilia."

After saying that, Xi Luo smiled slightly and added, "Of course, even if the worst happens, I'm still here, right? As long as I'm here, I can always save you like I did today."

Shiloh’s voice was soft, but his words carried immense weight, filling Cecilia’s frightened heart with a strong sense of security.

Recalling how Shilo had risked his life to wake her from her out-of-control state, Cecilia felt a sweet warmth in her heart and softly hummed in agreement.

Seeing the two of them pressed together, the women all felt a pang of envy, but they knew it was their time, so they didn't disturb them. After saying goodbye, they left, leaving only Anya, Shiloh, and Cecilia behind.

Anya, watching Shiloh and Cecilia interact, clenched her small hands tightly inside her sleeves, but maintained a smile on her face and said, "Then, I won't disturb you any longer. You should rest well."

Just as Anya was about to get up and leave, she was stopped by Xiluo.

The warm touch made Anya's heart flutter. Just as she was about to ask Xiluo if she needed any help, she suddenly saw him lean in and kiss her on the tip of her nose.

The soft touch made Anya tense up, and a delicate blush instantly spread across her pretty face, making her look at Xi Luo in a panic.

"Thank you, Anya."

Shiloh's smile warmed Anya's heart as always, but this kiss contained a sense of unease that made her heart flutter.

"Oh, okay, I... I got it. Well, I'll be going now..."

Anya blushed so much that her eyes started to dart around. After a few exclamations of excitement, she fled the room as if escaping.

Even as she escaped the room and headed towards the main house, Anya's mind was still a complete mess.

The kiss just now wasn't the main factor that made Anya panic. After all, in the past, she had kissed every part of Xiluo's face except for her lips countless times when they were children. Of course, Xiluo had done the same for her.

What bothered Anya the most was the way Xiluo addressed her after kissing her.

If my memory isn't confused, then my younger brother must have called me by my name just now, right?

goo...

He doesn't even call her "Sister Lian" anymore. What does he mean by that?

Could it be that……

No, you can't think like that!

Anya blushed and shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off certain outrageous thoughts.

But ever since Xiluo returned, seeing so many women gathered around him, Anya, though she didn't say it, felt uneasy every day, as if she were soaking in a vat of vinegar. She could only repeatedly tell herself that her sister was the only one, in order to hypnotize herself.
