On the stargazing platform, Dieterford? The figure of Emperor Grexia was like a golden flame. Holding the spear "Celestial" in his hand high, Emperor Dietford III pointed the spear into the distance.

……

Outside a post house.

"I urgently need a horse," said a hooded man, "I ......"

Suddenly, the hooded man looked terrified.

It was an ice-blue arcane star. The star, which had been moving steadily, suddenly deviated from its tracks, casting a water-colored light above the man's head.

A golden flash of gunfire flashed.

The man fell to the ground. What had been his heart, now all that remained was a wound that looked like it had been pierced by a spear.

Invade the plane prison, and then choose to escape alone, the secret warrior Mitt is dead!

……

"Nope."

A woman looked horrified at the ice-blue stars above her head. She's only been out of the plane prison for a few hours!

The guns flashed.

The woman fell to her knees, her heart already pierced.

……

"Dietford! Friedrich! ”

Orville, the long-haired old man running through the wilderness? Randolph, roaring at the sky.

If you retrieve your secret weapon, Orville? Randolph was confident that he could block the move. But now, under the faint aqua blue light of the arcane stars, he was also nowhere to hide.

The golden flash also hit him straight to the heart. Until he took his last breath, old Randolph still had his eyes open, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

He didn't know that his son was no longer alive.

……

"Meteor Shower ......?" Count Hahn, who witnessed all this, had a shocked look on his face, "No. This is not a meteor...... It is His Majesty's 'Heavenly Instrument'. Your Majesty has finally ......! ”

One flame after another swept through the snowy night shrouded in "stars".

White snow. Azure star. Golden guns. The three are intertwined, turning the imperial capital on a winter night into a magnificent picture.

Less than one breath before and after. Whether it's the Secret Warrior who chose to abscond alone after following Leon into the Plane Prison, or the prisoner who has just escaped after years of being imprisoned in the Plane Prison...... Under the guidance of the stars manipulated by the "Demon Bound Lord", the "Celestial Instrument" penetrated each of them with unmistakable accuracy.

In less than half a second, "Tianyi" Dieterford? In total, Greccia shot sixty-nine shots in all directions. Sixty-nine streamers pierced the sky and hit sixty-nine different targets.

Sixty-eight people, who had just been the heart of the empire, died.

……

Only one person survived the majesty of the "Heavenly Instrument".

The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" saved him with a body made of diamond. The attack of "Tianyi" hit him in the body. After a moment of hesitation, coupled with the direct attack of the "Heavenly Instrument", the violently trembling body of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" finally revealed its flaws. And for Cliff, who was exactly equal in strength, a split second was enough.

One of the many rays of light that Cliff shot out penetrated his body without hindrance.

The near-indestructible body of the Emperor of the Eternal Night did not hinder the light, and the light did not seem to harm him. However, the moment he saw his body pierced by the light, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" still felt the horror that could threaten his life.

The gallop of light. The sparkle of light. Light - shattered!

The scene in front of me was suddenly distorted.

"Goo!"

Cliff's light exploded in the left chest of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". No matter how tough your body is, it can't defend against attacks from the inside out. The shining light that turned the void into reality was like the spearhead of the aurora, piercing the boundless eternal night.

……

Clutching his chest, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" gasped slightly. Blood escaped from the corners of his mouth. It had been a long, long time since he had experienced the feeling of being hurt.

Even after being directly attacked by the "Heavenly Instrument", the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" was still not really injured. But when Cliff's beam of light followed, the man behind the steel, his undefeated golden body was finally broken.

Just a little bit...... It was only a matter of time before the light would destroy his heart......

But Cliff stopped.

"Cliff, hypocrite," said the "Emperor of the Night" weakly, "why didn't you attack me again?" That would give me the final blow. Do you not want others to interfere in our battles? ”

"No," Cliff shook his head, "unlike you, who are alone and powerful, I don't reject those who fight alongside me. I didn't go on the offensive because I judged that you still had a backhand to counter back. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". He slipped his hand into his coat pocket.

"That's right. The end of the day'......" he said, "a sharp, difficult fellow." ”

Before the attack of the "Celestial Instrument" descended again, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" unleashed the hidden magic scroll in his hand.

“……？！”

With the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" as the center, a dark storm suddenly erupts. Cliff had to step back, watching the storm in front of him grow stronger, and the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" was in the eye of the storm, condescending and indifferent to him.

He wanted to escape...... Cliff suddenly understood.

It's too late to stop. As Cliff retreated, the dark figure of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" began to fade away in the raging black storm. At the critical moment when he was locked by the two legendary figures, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" did not rely on the portal, but directly carried out a complete spatial transfer around him at any cost.

"This time, you're the one who won," the voice of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" rang in Cliff's ears the moment his body completely disappeared, "You're doing a good job, 'The Day of the End'." ”

The Empire, after all, is stronger than I expected, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" thought to himself.

"Cherish the peace in front of you. This will be your last rest. ”

Rumble!

With a loud thunderous sound, the "Eternal Night Emperor" completely disappeared into space, and the dark storm that enveloped him also dissipated in an instant.

With the departure of the culprit, in the vast wilderness, only Cliff was left.

……

The sky full of arcane stars is gone.

Peter in a white robe? Cliff stood alone in the snow. He walked past the place where the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" had just stood, only to find that it was ravaged by the dark storm of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night", and not even a single grass survived.

"'The Emperor of the Eternal Night'?" He muttered to himself, "Why bother? ”

Bathed in darkness, Cliff's heart was extremely heavy. It was his own arrogance that caused this tragedy, he thought. His Majesty Dieterford, His Excellency Friedrich...... Cliff didn't know how to face them. Cliff doesn't expect them to accept themselves again, just as he doesn't forgive his teacher for his crimes.

In the end, I couldn't do anything, Cliff thought. In the end, it was still Dietford III and Chancellor Friedrich, the great "Celestial" and "Lord of the Demons", who suppressed the trouble. Whether he is here or not, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" will still escape.

So, why are you standing here? As a superfluous man of an empire, staring at the mess he has made?

If this is your fate—

"Peter!"

A voice like a silver bell reached Cliff's ears. He looked back: a girl with long blond hair was looking at him.

"Bina ......"

Sure enough, she's been rescued, Cliff thought. But now...... What expression should I use to face ......?

Bena laughed. She knew her fiancé all too well. Like the "Emperor of the Eternal Night", the real Peter? Cliff is also accustomed to suppressing his emotions in front of people. But no matter how much Cliff tried to hide it, Bina could feel that under Cliff's rocky expression, there was a lava-like burning heart.

"...... Bina?"

Without waiting for Cliff to react, Bina threw herself into his arms. When it comes to speech, she can't argue with the knowledgeable Cliff. Then, just convey the feelings. Let him know that no matter what happens, there is still a person in this vast land who will always support him unconditionally.

“……”

Feeling Bena's body temperature, Cliff's mind finally calmed down. Oh, yes...... What's the use of thinking so much? As long as Bina is still here and by her side, she is by no means a "superfluous person" of the empire. No power could separate him from Bina.

"Bena," Cliff hugged Bina tighter in his arms, "I'm sorry. ”

After all, the things of the past cannot be changed.

So, at least face what is about to happen -

……

Goth, Verviel, and Levi watched from a distance as they embraced each other.

Goth and Verviel couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"Well," said Goth, "Lévy, there are no traitors among us, everything is the plot of the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night'. How do you feel? ”

Lévy snorted.

"Our troubles are not over yet," he said, "and even how the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night' reshapes his body will need to be investigated." ”
