Aono lowered his head.

In the place where the brilliant stars are gathered, a baby-sized spherical crystal is reflecting a variety of colors.

It doesn't have its own color, it's all rendered by the colors around it.

From this crystal, Aono can smell a truly fresh and natural scent.

There is also a will that is difficult to describe in words.

It is different from the indescribable form of the star color.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, the high priest who was still struggling on the side exclaimed in surprise at the crystal.

'Your Highness turned out to be a ball?' ’

Aono stared at the ball and felt a consciousness slowly waking up in it.

"Here it is"

It spoke slowly, and the voice came directly to the minds of one person and one fox.

With a hint of confusion.

"Your Highness, it's me!"

The High Priestess's hair began to turn white rapidly, and it was evident how important this crystal was to her.

But her tone couldn't help but be frightened and sad.

Because she disobeyed the mission that Her Highness had given her, and even released them, if they devoured the gray shadows of the people in the village, then their souls would be defiled, which meant real death.

In the eyes of the elves, there is no real death in the world.

Some are just the death of the body and the reincarnation of the soul.

As long as the soul returns to the embrace of the Mother Goddess of the Forest and cleanses the impurities of the world, it can be reborn.

Such a point of view, in the eyes of ordinary people, is obviously incomprehensible.

You may also think that it is a foolish idea.

But for the ancient elves, it was almost part of their faith.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that even though all the goblins here have died, this royal family, known as "His Highness", is willing to protect the souls of the goblins from being defiled at the cost of his own life.

It's just that what she didn't expect was.

Under the action of multiple forces, such a never-ending cycle will be formed.

Their souls, on the contrary, have become the source of the vitality of the Star Color.

Every reincarnation is like a harvest.

This forest has also become a place of death.

To put it another way, the high priest devoted himself to believing in their personality, and with the blood of Tamagawa Rin, he did decipher the endless cycle of reincarnation.

The consciousness of "Your Highness" parasitized on this giant tree, and after waking up, it quickly understood everything that had happened in the past thousand years.

"You've worked hard."

It whispered softly to the High Priest.

The words are full of sympathy and sorrow.

"Thank you for your hard work."

It can understand the torture and suffering of the high priest, and it can understand her madness.

Any normal person, in this situation, will be driven crazy by life!

The High Priestess trembled and wept over this—all she needed was someone who could understand her.

However, the reality will not give them much time for warmth.

The star in the center of the trunk is more like a larva that has not yet fully developed than those that wander outside.

It is because of them that they need to hide in the trunk of the tree and secretly absorb its majestic vitality.

But even if it's a larva, it's an indescribable larva!

A faint light lit up on Aono's face.

The high priest was unaffected, presumably because she was already dead.

The confusion of colors appeared in front of Aono's eyes, as if he had fallen into a world of colors, and there was nothing but color.

But Aono is a man who has been blind for so long and can face it calmly, and this mental pollution is nothing at all.

Here's the problem.

The black fog gradually fell into decline.

Again, at the moment, there are too many Star Colors!

Converged into a colorful galaxy.

And the source of the black fog is only Aono itself.

In the continuous wear, the black fog is getting thinner and thinner, and the brilliant light is getting brighter and brighter.

revealed his resentful emotions to Aono - "I don't have a drop left!" ”

In one minute at most, the black fog will wear off!

And at that time, the color of the stars will erode Aono's mind, so that Tamagawa Rin and the others will all die here.

"Outsider, I need you to do me a favor"

In this situation, the spherical crystal approached Aono.

That soft voice sounded in Aono's mind.

And commanded some words.

"Okay, I see."

Aono nodded, understanding what it was trying to do.

And relying on its power is indeed the best way to break the game at this time!

The black mist quickly drifted towards Aono's side.

At the same time, the stars were also attracted.

In their eyes, the black mist has become a food that is more delicious than the gray and white shadows!

And they soon found out.

The most tempting food is right in front of you!

That's Aono itself!

Don't forget the many traits that Aono carries, while giving him more oppressive power than ordinary people, he is also more likely to be targeted by the unspeakable.

- It's just that Aono is usually more likely to be the first to target them, which leads to the side effects of these traits being ignored for a while.

They descended on Aono.

Keep getting closer and gathering.

In the eyes of onlookers like Tamagawa Rin, Aono seems to be wrapped in an invisible torrent of colors, and the colorful colors only reflect that face more handsome.

It doesn't look like a mortal.

Without a doubt, it is a very beautiful picture.

Beyond any vision that can be conceived by human consciousness.

But behind the beauty, there is an extremely cold danger.

It was as if bad luck was hanging over it, and the Grim Reaper was ready to swing the scythe.

Rin Tamagawa can think that these flowing colors are the real murderers of this forest falling into dead silence!

Formless and insubstantial, physical attacks cannot damage it at all.

- They have no body, they can't even be touched.

Even Aono-kun, can he really defeat them?

Rin Tamagawa and Mika Kishida both sweated for him.

At this time, the only person who has absolute confidence in Aono is probably Taiichi Kaneshiro, who is about to evolve into a fanatical believer.

Even Tomie was thinking about whether to pick up the corpse and run away after a while.

And Aono himself, there is no fluctuation in his heart.

Even a little bit to look forward to?

The glimmer on his face became brighter and brighter, and the feeling of being corroded by acid water on his body became more and more intense.

It's clear that Star Colour doesn't just want to erode Aono's consciousness.

I even want to eat and wipe all his flesh clean.

Aono's skin began to dry and pale, showing a state similar to those of the big trees, and his face even began to age a little.

But it is still playing a tenacious role, repairing those parts that have been "eroded" invisibly, and slowing down the occurrence of aging and pallor.

Rao is like this, and the feeling of withering is still coming.

Star Colour is quite a highly effective predator.

If it is a big tree, it only takes a dozen seconds to absorb all the vitality.

Not to mention, there are so many stars gathered around Aono at this moment!

The wriggling larvae also seem to want a piece of the pie.

'Come on, get a little closer. ’

Aono silently endured the unbearable pain of ordinary people, and at the same time calculated the distance, until almost all the star colors came to his side.

A scream came out of his mouth.

The power that shocks the soul spreads out in the sound waves.

shrouded the bright galaxy around him.

Even this indescribable state that cannot be seen or touched still has consciousness and consciousness.

An attack from the soul that is hard to stop.

The surging colors, as if time had stopped, were momentarily stiff.

Even the color no longer changes, it is fixed into one.

Aono looked at the spherical translucent crystal—he had done what it required.

crystals, which began to be contaminated with a special smell.

Star Colour begins to gravitate towards it, and is sucked into it.

One, two, until all!

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

The high priest suddenly realized something, and after a moment of astonishment, pleaded.

"No, you can't."

"There's nothing you can't do."

Its voice rang out.

"Compared to the pain you endured, what is this kind of ending?"

Its beliefs cannot be changed.

"Thank you, Outsider."

It said to Aono again.

"It's over."

The crystals shimmer in a variety of colors, then begin to shrink until they become the size of a fist.

Finally fell to the ground, and there was no more sound.

All the strange aura, all gone.

The High Priest wept and stretched out his paws, trying to touch the crystals that had coalesced into solidity.

It's just her claws that begin to dissolve into nothingness.

Aono turned his head.

Not only the high priest, but the fallen trees of the entire forest, the sickly growing vegetation, and the grayish-white phantoms, all of them were turning to transparency.

The only difference was that those gray-white shadows lit up with a pale green glow.

Turning into little by little starlight, it floated to Aono's side.

Those familiar and unfamiliar faces, as if in the green starlight, were watching him.

Expressing their gratitude.

Aono's soul seems to have been washed.

An extraordinarily petite starlight jumped to Rin Tamagawa's side.

Jump like an elf.

"Luna"

Unconsciously, in the corner of Tamagawa Rin's eyes, a drop of crystal slipped down.

Starlight jumped out of the corner of her eye, as if trying to wipe away tears for her.

Then followed the large army.

The points of light converged, lingered around Aono, and rose into the sky, reaching very high.

Aono looked up and saw.

Countless points of light, like shooting stars, streaked across the night sky of this lost place.

The transcendents in the distance witnessed this picture.

I was dumbfounded and moved by it.

At this moment, the starlight fell.
