"How, how could it be like this......"

The bright silver sword sparked through Ariel, blood gushing from wounds and flesh, still being torn apart by the power of the exploding void, and the black-haired wizard with a surprised gaze could even see the twitching body under the robes.

"Why, why ......"

The little wizard's expression was equally surprised, watching the bone scythe gradually turn to ashes in her hand, and the girl who had been cold a moment ago now showed an extremely relieved expression.

Why didn't she use the Blood Ritual, let alone dodge?

Why...... Will she take this sword without resistance?!

"Miss Ayn Rand, you're right, I don't understand. Ariel spoke softly, a wisp of red oozing from the corner of her mouth: "However, that doesn't mean I don't love him. ”

"Whatever the reason... After all, love... There is no reason for this. ”

The little wizard's eyes widened.

The two Void Swords dimmed at the same time, and Ariel shivered as she glanced at the wound, turned around with difficulty, and looked affectionately at the black-haired wizard who had also calmed down.

"Looks like Ariel lost this time. Smiling softly, the girl's bloodless cheeks became more and more pale and gray, as if they were gradually disintegrating: "But this will not be the last. ”

"What did the poets say... Wherever there is still a breath, we will not stop, because the blindness of love has created us who are blind and persistent......"

"You can just give it a try. ”

Loren calmly held Ariel, who was on the verge of falling, and gave a hint of surprise to her pale and feeble cheeks.

"Now Loren, is there a little bit... Like Ariel?"

The girl raised her head with difficulty, and her already cold lips slowly pressed towards Loren. Her white hair, her robe, her body...... are slowly falling, withering, and disintegrating.

Moments before touching the black-haired wizard, Ariel Corona had turned into a cloud of ashes flying in the sky, and the dust that had fallen was still full of embers......

Like fireflies under the stars.

She ...... Dead?"

Ai Yin, who was a little stumbling in her footsteps, opened her mouth timidly and asked tentatively.

"There shouldn't be... At least not like that. Loren frowned slightly, he still remembered the scene when Mezka was "destroyed" by himself, which was very different from what had just happened.

And she herself said that she would come back, which proves that the current Ariel has only lost her power and has not been "obliterated" of her existence.

"But not for now...... Well, it should be a long time. Seeing the little wizard's face that was about to collapse, the black-haired wizard hurriedly spoke: "So don't worry about her popping up and scaring people or something." ”

Ai Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and she suddenly laughed "poof" when she was stunned, but her bloodless haggard face made it difficult to look happy.

"You're fooling me again, aren't you?"

"Not this time, and not again. Loren, who sighed in a low voice, did not wait for her to reply, and gently hugged the little wizard's shoulder:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I can't... Never do that to you again. ”

Aine looked at him blankly, looking at this "bad guy" who was covered in blood and scarred but still holding himself and apologizing to himself. ”

A drop of fluorescent light gently slides down the cheek.

"Big liar......" The little wizard stared at him seriously, "I won't believe your nonsense." And also......

Don't take me for a fool!"

There was a moment of silence, and both of them burst out laughing.

"What's next?" Looking at the ashes on the ground around her, Ain's expression was also somewhat sad—for some reason, she still couldn't hate the girl who almost killed her just now.

"Of course, doing what was supposed to be done, but was interrupted by dear Miss Ariel. The black-haired wizard looked back, his expression at this moment extremely confident:

"I want to get the Holy Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star, and...... I already know where it is!"

If this is the real "Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower", then the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail is certainly where it should be.

That's right, it's the "Holy Grail Hall".

The little wizard's expression changed slightly.

"Otherwise... I'm waiting for you here?" Ain smiled a little stiffly and said, "Liya, they're still looking for you, maybe they've found this place now, let me go ......"

"No, let's go together. ”

The black-haired wizard shook his head slowly: "Actually... Even now, I still don't quite understand what the nine-pointed chalice means, I thought I knew, but maybe it wasn't like that. ”

"So...... Can you come with me to see what this nine-pointed star chalice that opened the 'wizarding era' looks like?"

........................ In the dead hall of the corridor, there was not the slightest sound except for the sound of the brazier burning.

"Oops, oops...... It's a bit excessive. ”

With a little whining voice echoing in the corridor, a small shadow appeared in the flickering yellow firelight, and he walked into the hall step by step.

It was still a small black and red dress, with a wing-like back swinging gently, and with a shawl and cloak so as not to make the young man's figure too thin and slender, he kept complaining with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I took my little girlfriend to find the Chalice of the Nine-Pointed Star, but left poor Asrael here to clean up the mess he left behind...... Hey, there's really no way, who made him a friend of Asrael?"

As he walked to the center of the hall, Asrael's smile widened. Hands were raised slightly, and the black fog rolled up the ashes on the ground.

"Are you right? Miss Ariel Corona or...... Impostor?"

As his words fell, the fog gradually dissipated, and Ariel, another "Asriel", appeared in front of him, lying on the ground with her eyes closed, as if she had just fallen asleep.

She certainly couldn't have answered anything.

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot. The boy showed a "just remembered" expression, and then laughed playfully: "You are weak enough to 'barely sustain yourself' now, just like when you were in a coffin - for the time being, there is no threat to Asrael or dear Loren." ”

"But you're always a threat, an impostor...... The mere thought of how you have almost tampered with my 'existence' scares poor Asrael!"

As he spoke, the young man half-knelt beside Ariel's body, pressed his right hand on her neck, and his scarlet eyes gradually became cold: "So... I can only trouble you to disappear from this world!"

A thick black mist hung around her, binding her body bit by bit, then slowly devouring it—the same way he had dealt with a vampire.

The difference is that this time the object is an existence that seems to be as strong as him... Even if you are already weak, you must be as cautious as possible. Be patient and take your time...... Wipe her out completely.

The smile on Asrael's delicate face grew.

But in the next moment, the situation changed suddenly.

Ariel, who was motionless at all, suddenly opened her eyes!

"How do you ......"

The shocked teenager was startled, and tried to get up, but his right hand was suddenly grabbed by Ariel and pressed against her throat and couldn't move!

"Why do you want to run? Silly Asrael, ruthless Asrael. On her pale cheeks, Ariel's smile was sly, "Aren't you ready to kill poor Ariel?"

"You can still maintain consciousness?!"

"Of course, in order to give dear Loren a deep enough farewell so that he will not forget Ariel, and will always remember people's ......" The girl had a natural expression:

"How can you let the ugly face of the dying stay in the bottom of his heart?"

"......" The young man who was originally full of confidence suddenly panicked: "So you have been ready for a long time and are waiting for me here?!"

"Of course, because people also know how cowardly Asriel is that he dares to wait until it is all over. ”

This time, the girl smiled proudly:

"So...... You can't escape!"
