199. Aurora
The Dragon King watched as White Miry’s group left. She landed on the ground, and the First Elven King’s pressure didn’t affect her emotions at all, as if she were used to it.
She tidied her long silver hair and walked forward gracefully.
And the First Elven King, seeing Calysia, didn’t continue to pursue “Death,” but also landed on the ground, the two of them twenty meters apart.
To be able to easily crush all the meteors with gravity, the only one with this kind of strength was Calysia. Aurora knew that there was no one in the entire world with such exaggerated magic power, whether in the Primordial Era or even more ancient times.
“No matter how many times you come, I will kill you, Aurora.”
“Calysia, how many times has this been?”
“Pfft—”
Calysia raised her hand, and a short blade formed from concentrated magic power appeared at the neck of the being called Aurora, piercing deep into her skin. Her barrier shattered the next second, sensing the attack.
And it wasn’t over yet.
The short blade quickly exploded, and the resulting explosion, like a tide of oscillating space, instantly engulfed the First Elven King’s body. For a moment, everything within a 300-meter radius of her was “erased.”
This process only took 0.2 seconds.
But soon, Aurora appeared before Calysia as if she hadn’t been affected at all.
“Defeated general.”
Calysia reached out again and, with a fierce squeeze, severed Aurora’s neck, separating her head from her body.
But in a daze, it was as if this had never happened.
—Aurora was still standing there, motionless.
Calysia increasingly felt that something was wrong… Although she had anticipated it, facing Aurora this time would be more difficult than before. After all, she had the blessing of the ritual. But she hadn’t realized that Aurora could actually achieve a certain degree of “rewind.”
Why could she do this?
In the past, even if she resurrected, she shouldn’t have been this strong.
And she actually remembered so many reincarnations!
The ritual.
Originally, Calysia and Agnes had made an agreement.
This ritual wasn’t truly about dealing with [demonification] or collecting power, but about helping Reina “break the cycle of reincarnation.”
But Aurora had used the power of this ritual to constantly “rewind.”
Wasn’t this like obtaining some kind of god-like authority?!
But fortunately, the other party’s strength was also stuck at level 195.
Calysia herself was already level 200. She had never told Reina this fact, even deliberately hiding it, just to avoid a “bad ending.”
Because Calysia had sworn that she would definitely give Reina a good ending.
It had always been like this.
Each time, the Dark Elf Queen would appear elusively, but each time she would be killed by herself… This process had lasted for thousands of years.
“You think you’ve known me for so long, Calysia. You’re strong, the strongest being under the gods, without authority but as if you possess it, but you’ve forgotten about me.”
At this moment, Calysia also understood something.
The First Elven King… why did she appear today? As expected, she was related to the so-called [hidden ending].
“[Forbidden Magic]”
“You’ve been waiting for this day, haven’t you? I’ve been waiting too. I’ve waited for thousands of times, thousands of reincarnations, just for today. I’ve endured for so long, just for this moment!”
Aurora raised her hands, unleashing all her power.
A seven-colored magic appeared between her hands, surging towards Calysia like a torrent.
The latter clenched her fist, instantly compressing all this magic power into a tiny point of light, and with a gentle push, it became a purple ray. Aurora, seeing this, also created the same magic ray with her seven-colored magic, and their collision was so fast that it created a scene like a volcanic eruption. A white light shot into the sky, scattered, and it seemed the whole world trembled.
Calysia seemed to have the upper hand.
When the light faded, Calysia was unharmed due to her strong physique, but Aurora was covered in wounds. However, these so-called “wounds,” under the blessing of the crimson sky’s ritual, recovered.
—This would be a protracted battle, but Calysia wasn’t afraid.
But just then, sensitive as she was, she remembered something important.
No, she had to end the battle quickly!
“Tear…”
Calysia chanted silently.
She spread her hands outwards, and the next second, as if forcefully tearing open a paper box, the gravity before her separated. A neat gash appeared in the crimson sky, corresponding to the ground. Like a blade from another dimension, it cut through the ground, the forest, and even the mountains.
And at the center of the cut was Aurora.
She was directly split in two.
The next second, the sky and Aurora were restored, as if nothing had happened.
“I know what you’re hiding from, Calysia. You’re afraid of our [reincarnation], and I know I can’t kill you now…”
“…” Calysia was silent, quietly searching for a counter-strategy. Her mentality would not be affected by any opponent.
But that kind of thing…
It must not happen.
“Damn it…”
But both of them knew.
Because they were both people who had reincarnated countless times.
“Understanding those things, you know what she would do. This is also the reason why you’ve been hiding it from her. She’s a failure, from beginning to end…”
“Your biggest mistake was letting the Goddess of Light possess a [soul core], an emotion that shouldn’t have existed… but this wasn’t your mistake either.”
Aurora’s smile was not a smile, terrifying to the extreme: “The price of [goodness] is to be defiled by [goodness]. Even if it’s not you, someone will fall in love with her, proactively give her a soul, and make her an imperfect existence! You are her stain.”
“A true god should be [evil] through and through.”
“Let’s make a deal, Calysia. You go and persuade the Goddess of Light, deceive her for a lifetime, so she can go to another plane to survive. This world will be mine. I will make everyone my slave. Of course, first stop the anti-ritual…”
Calysia lowered her head and clenched her fists.
She was ashamed that she was actually considering a counter-strategy. She could recall those terrifying fragments, and Calysia felt a chill in her heart, as if someone were stabbing her in the heart.
Calysia took a deep breath, suppressing the various emotions within her.
Whenever Reina was mentioned, she would become emotional.
It had always been like this.
“Don’t be mistaken, Miss Aurora. Calysia is not my stain.”
Calysia raised her head.
After the golden spatial matrix blocks disappeared, Reina appeared in the sky.
The azure scales on her dragon wings were covered in an azure holy light, and a rose-gold halo was on her head, holy with a hint of allure.
“Calysia is my master.”
“No matter what happens, I will always be with my master.”
