Chapter 15: The Dead Moon Shines in the Sky

Black Floating City.

The consciousness of the Lord of Darkness threw himself into the sea of clouds with all his might.

And the process of the girl becoming the guardian of the sea of clouds is approaching the last moment.

They don't have the energy anymore...... Go and worry about other people.

-----------

Scythes and swords collide with each other.

Linna and Alice manipulated the flames and bombarded each other.

In terms of physical fitness and fighting skills, Lin Na has the upper hand.

But when it comes to mastering the elements, Alice is superior.

It's just that...... She didn't like passive defense very much, so she simply gave up using the water element and earth element to counteract the opponent's flames, and simply and neatly manipulated the fire element to attack Lin Na!

With the exception of Dimi, Mystic Warriors can mostly only manipulate one or two elements.

However, at the level of Lin Na's strength, the Mystic Warrior's control over a single element is stronger than that of a mage.

Alice can easily counter Gloria's earth elemental attacks, but against Linna's continuous firestorm, she can only "eliminate" but not "manipulate".

The fire elemental, itself furious. Even if he took away the flame energy manipulated by the opponent, it would be too late to fight back. This is a big reason why most mages choose to major in fire.

Even so, let's collide!

Let's see if my spiritual power is exhausted first, or if your "Valkyrie" armor can't hold it first!

Alice was fully engaged in the battle with Linna.

She didn't notice that in the shadows beneath her feet, an invisible blade loomed.

Trenor and Gloria were also focused on protecting themselves, and were equally unaware of the shocking change.

……

If you're still breathing, I can't use all my strength.

If you stop your heartbeat, your "body" and I will always have supreme power.

So, I'm sorry, Alice.

Of course, it's not bad to spend the rest of your life with you.

But...... When this opportunity that belongs only to me and only I can do it is in front of me, how can I miss it?

Hell on one side and a chance to dominate the world on the other.

It's clear which side you'll choose.

Farewell.

……

“……!”

Alice's eyes widened.

Linna, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, stopped. The siblings, Trenor and Gloria, were also dumbfounded.

The blade of the shadow, manipulated by Lévy, pierced Alice's heart.

……

Linna leaped to her feet—and as she expected, there was a blade hidden beneath her feet. It's just that the Divine Armor "Valkyrie" is quite restrained in this kind of spell, and Levi didn't make a rash move.

"Be my undead, Alice," Lévi said, ignoring the escaped Linna and settling Alice's soul inside her, "even if you die, your soul and body will continue to be of use to me." ”

Alice wouldn't know: Levy, who was with her day and night, had already arranged a trace of "necromantic aura" in her heart without she noticing.

Once her heart stops, she transforms into a necromantic creature controlled by Levi.

Body, mind, and soul will all be reduced to Lévy's puppet forever.

"And I, through you, will dominate the position of two 'Guardians of the Sea of Clouds' at the same time." Levi said softly.

"It's time to end this stupid fight."

Finally.

There is no need to scruple about yourself, and there is no need to hide it.

----------------

Meanwhile.

"It's finally here."

Wei finally arrived at the battlefield.

He left Nicholas, and he tore open the portal one after another and rushed to the Imperial battlefield! However, as the continent sank, the ultra-long-distance teleportation technique began to become useless, and he had to rely on flying and short-distance teleportation to catch the last leg of the road.

Well, now is the time.

Give this war ...... Put a rest.

"The deity has descended."

Wei said in a low voice.

Black, white, and gray air currents swept through.

The majestic "Three-color Crystal Light Dragon" hovered over the battlefield at that time.

The invisible dragon power pervades.

The sudden appearance of the second dragon stopped many of the soldiers. Even the "Flawless Glowing Dragon", which was fighting the undead troops in the distance, set its sights on here.

"'Eternal Blood'." Dimi's "Flawless Glow Dragon" roared in a low voice.

The soldiers were in a commotion. They didn't know Wei's giant dragon form, but since the emperor's prince shouted out so directly, this strange dragon must be the Lord of Eternal Blood.

The "Eternal Blood" is the heir to Speaker Nicholas, and now that Admiral Armstrong is dead, the Okard Army has the backbone.

The Three-Colored Crystal Light Dragon overlooks the excited Okard soldiers.

"O Okard soldiers." The "Three-color Crystal Light Dragon" voice roared.

It's time for you to know something, Wei Xindao.

"I, Wei, 'Eternal Blood', declare to you in the name of the heir of Okad. After listening to me, it is up to you whether you continue to fight or lay down your arms. ”

---------------

And on the other side.

Alice's vitality is dimming.

Linna, Gloria, Trenor, the Empire and the French Powers were stunned by the sudden turn of events in front of them.

Even the appearance of the "Three-color Crystal Light Dragon" failed to divert the attention of the three of them.

……

Until she took her last breath - Alice still didn't realize why she had died.

Was it a sneak attack by some enemy mage?

"Be careful, Levy."

Spit out the last words, and the mage girl's consciousness slipped into the abyss.

…… Her heart had stopped beating.

She didn't see Levy's expression.

Those turquoise eyes were mixed with sadness, pity, and determination.

……

"It's time......"

Levi Fedorovich held his "Staff of Scaloo" aloft.

All things are perished, and all things are at an end.

If you can't transcend life and death, you can only turn into dust after all.

Even if you have the magic power of the gods, in the end it is just a pinch of loess.

Consciousness dissipates and reason is cut off.

Lévy didn't want that ending.

Erios failed to do it. Teacher Palamedes didn't do it either.

If you want eternal life, you must surpass them.

And this—with the power of one person, stealing the position of the guardian of the two major sea of clouds at the same time—is his chance!

In the center of the skull at the head of the "Staff of Scalu", which seemed to be shrouded in mist, the tide of necromantic aura unleashed its own realm.

"Come on in!"

Linna retreated to Gloria's side. Traynor and Gloria opened their shields to contain the five of them.

"What is he doing?" Lin Na was puzzled.

"Pale Moon......" Gloria's eyes widened in disbelief, "did he turn the Nightmare Chariot into his own necromantic creature?!" How could he make such a ......"

"Unbelievable," the corners of Trenor's mouth twitched, "that guy has been hiding his strength. Even runic creatures that are theoretically immune to necromancy ......"

The runic creatures that originally surrounded and restrained Levi were losing their vitality one after another, collapsing and disappearing.

For the first time in his life, Lévy unleashed his strongest necromantic power.

The wave of terror centered on him is no longer "gas".

Rather, - the "decay" itself.

When the "decay" itself passes through the dust, everything is powder.

The messy ground beneath his feet began to crumble and turn into fine sand.

The remains of the "Emerald Colossus" quickly "weathered" and began to shrink and disappear.

Even the mage robes, which had been infused with the aura of necromancy by Lévy day and night, had become tattered.

Alice's corpse, as a necromantic creature, did not decay, but it also began to decay at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Your ridiculous shield," Levi smiled nonchalantly, "how long can you hold out in front of me?" One minute? Two minutes? ”

Even if it's two minutes, it won't be given to you.

Levi, suspended in mid-air, stepped on the corrupted dust, and approached the shield that Traynor and Gloria had stretched out.

The strongest of the power of "decay" is the head of the "Staff of Scalu" itself.

The shield of an ordinary mage, with the slightest touch, will decay into nothingness.

"Pale Moon" Levi Fedorovic's three hole cards.

One is that the "living lich" brings almost unlimited doppelgangers and opportunities to reshape their bodies.

The second is that with the "Staff of Scalu", it is amplified by the wave of decay of the concept of "decay" itself.

The third is the necromantic manipulation technique that manipulates the souls and corpses of strong people of the same level.

Even Mr. Palamedes did not know that Lévy would be able to do this third point.

For powerful mages, creating an army of the undead is certainly a threat to nature, but it is basically not a threat to themselves.

However, it is possible to make a mage of the same level into a necromantic creature that can cast spells independently...... It is destined to evoke mass panic.

Once this ability is exposed, it will become the target of public criticism.

It is also the proof of the most powerful necromancer.

……

Trenor touched the brocade box in the sleeve of his robe.

Just while Xiaowei explained the truth of the matter to them, she secretly stuffed this brocade box to him.

According to Xiaowei's transmission-

[Once an irresistible enemy appears, the weapons in this brocade box will be our last chance. 】

Xiaowei didn't know the principle of this weapon, but she kept her trust in the girl's gift.

Since the girl said that "even Nicholas himself cannot withstand the blow of this weapon", then her confidence naturally has its basis!

In fact...... To date, the girl has only made three of these weapons. Except for Xiaowei and Treno's and Dimi's one, the girl herself kept only one.

Lévy listened to the conversation, but not the transmission.

This may be our last chance...... Treyno thought.
