Chapter 4: Nightmares

(Hmm...... Where is this? )

The girl got up from the ground and rubbed her beautiful cherry eyes. It was pitch black, and there seemed to be nothing but darkness.

The girl tilted her head in confusion and wanted to shout at the space, but suddenly found herself speechless, as if her throat had been choked.

Suddenly, her whole body seemed to be out of control, and she walked towards the darkness ahead.

In this space, there is only darkness but darkness, and it seems that even time has stood still.

The girl desperately wants to take back control of her body, but she can't, and any efforts are in vain.

The girl tries to communicate fate again, but here it seems that the existence of fate has also disappeared.

She just walked forward blankly.

After countless communication failures, the girl gave up the struggle and simply prayed silently in her heart, praying that it would all end soon.

(It's not the first time I've done this, it's the same before!) This feeling of helplessness is really very uncomfortable! )

It's like walking an infinite loop, and there is no end to the darkness.

(It's really lonely!) However, I'm used to it, and I'm used to this loneliness. It's really hard to be a master of destiny! )

I don't know how long it has been, time has no meaning here. The darkness around them slowly faded, replaced by flickering candles. A large white hall was revealed, and in the center, there was a pitch-black door. At this point, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.

(Is it finally going to end?) This time it seems to be longer than usual! According to the previous rules, just walk through this door...... Hmm......)

The red blood bloomed on the girl's body and fell on the white floor tiles, as beautiful as a little plum blossom. The girl's cherry eyes widened, and she looked at a pure white sword piercing through her chest in disbelief.

The sharp pain exploded in the girl's brain in an instant, even if she couldn't make any sound in her body now, she faintly heard a scream.

The white sword was slowly pulled out, bringing out a puddle of blood again. Then the candlelight around them went out, and in the darkness, the faint screams of sharp blades plunging into flesh and girls could be heard clearly.

I don't know how long it was, the candle was rekindled, and the girl fell in a pool of blood, her whole body except for her head, the flesh and blood were blurred, and there was almost no place for it. The entire hall was littered with traces of blood splatters.

The original white blade had been stained red by the girl's blood, and at this time, it was gently resting on the girl's neck.

If the original girl's pupils were just Mu Ran, it still carried the breath of a human being. But now the girl's pupils are like the eyes of a puppet, without the slightest hint of anger.

(It's finally over...... Is this the end for me? )

- This was the girl's last thought, and then endless darkness poured in.

The blade of the sword made a crisp sound on the white tiles, and fell with it...... And the girl's head......

Sakura, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up, but her eyes were still closed. Her expression was very painful, and the pain was a little hideous.

The childish voice suddenly sounded, and the tone seemed to be a little abnormal.

"The host she ...... It seems to be eroded by something...... Don't come near any of you, the master may use me to kill anyone who comes close, and I will help the master to suppress the power of this erosion as much as possible. ”

Immediately afterward, the trace of the rose on Sakura's right hand gradually faded.

The girl who was called "His Highness" was also really shocked when she saw Sakura Dream like this. But she couldn't help anything, so she could only stay quietly, and this feeling of powerlessness that she had never felt before made her feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Sakura's state didn't last long, it seemed to be suppressed, and then her petite body fell limply again.

"Uh...... Artifact-sama, has that power been suppressed? ”

Her voice was small, as if she was afraid to disturb the artifact's concentration on suppressing that power. The traces of roses resurfaced, sounding a little tired. The childish voice sounded again.

"Nope! I can't suppress that power, my master's magic power is still too weak, and my body can't withstand the full expansion of my power. But that power seems to be a little lower than me......"

The childish voice was visibly puzzled.

"Why is there a ...... in the human world? This level of power. Anyway, it's good to ...... The force has retreated on its own, but I don't know if it will come back. ”

Since they were all stunned by the information revealed by the artifact! The girl who was called "Your Highness" forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart and asked seriously.

"Since you are an artifact, then your fully expanded power must be the existence of a god. So you mean that there is a legendary-level existence who has made a move on Sakura? ”

"Please take your master to a place where she can rest, for I am a little tired."

The voice was thick with tiredness, and did not answer the girl's question, but only commanded, and the traces of the rose slowly faded.

The girl's eyes flickered, and she walked quickly towards Sakuramu and picked her up. The moment she picked it up, she was suddenly stunned.

There's no other reason than that, it's just that Sakura is so light that she doesn't seem to be a creature anymore. Anyway, the appearance is at least a fourteen ...... Uh, twelve-year-old girl (if it's twelve, shouldn't it be called a young girl?) But now the girl hugged her, as if she didn't hold anything.

(I guess it's because of the phantom's constitution that it became like this!) )

The girl explained in her mind, thinking that she had found a satisfactory answer. Then look at Sakura's cheeks.

Sakura's sleeping face had a quiet and natural smile, making people feel the urge to rush up and kiss her, as if the original hideous was just a dream, a nightmare.

(It's so cute!) It's so cute! But...... No matter what you think, this kid is only twelve years old! )

The girl resisted the urge not to kiss her, and strode out of the playground with her in her arms.

A boy stared at the girl who was far away, and looked at the officer with some confusion.

"Officer, can you explain to us what kind of rank a legend is?"

"It's a little too early for you, but now that you know the word. Then I'll tell you! ”

The officer frowned, and although he was a little reluctant, he answered them anyway.

"Above the S-level masters, there are still two levels, legend and myth. There are four living legends among humans, four among phantoms, and a total of seven among other races. ”

That is to say, there are thirteen legends in existence, but myths ...... Not a single one. Do you know why, wraiths are separated from humans and other races? ”

The students looked blank, and the officer didn't say anything more, continuing to explain.

"Because among the apparitions, there have been myths, and there is more than one. Based on the speculation of historical records, the strength of mythology is probably infinitely close to the gods, or even slightly exceeded. ”

"Now the continent of our planet, a whole continent. But once our continent, there were seven pieces in total, floating in various parts of the planet. ”

"It wasn't until one of the myths of the Phantom that it was too annoying to travel between continents, so he casually combined all the continents to make us what we are today."

"Alright, you guys disbanded right here! Let's go and choose a dormitory! ”

The officer waved his hand and sent the students away, and I suddenly remembered something, with a treacherous smile on my face.

"Ah, yes! Boys, the Wraith race can intermarry with humans. That phantom looks so cute, and she's a true nobleman among phantoms! You guys really don't have any ideas? ”

"By the way, I will reveal another news, the highness who just took her away is a lily!"

Then the boy boiled and ran wildly towards the place where the girl had left. And then, of course, they were all blasted out by His Highness.

"Where is this?"

The girl slowly opened her cherry-colored pupils and looked around blankly.

It's a white room, but the lighting isn't very good because of the snow outside the window.

(It's nice that it's not pitch black!) )

The girl was lying on a large white soft bed at this time, and her original pink trench coat had been taken off and hung on the chair next to her, and she had changed into a lotus white nightdress.

(Was everything just a dream?) But I'm afraid that's also a reflection of my future end......)

The girl shuddered at the thought of the dream, and hugged herself tightly, as if the pain from the wounds inflicted by the blade still tormented her.

"Master, while you were unconscious, I found a terrifying force eating away at you...... The trajectory of your destiny is trying to modify it. ”

The girl's right hand was patterned with a rose, but the girl did not answer the voice, but sat there in silence.

As if there had been a struggle of thoughts, the girl finally spoke, crying about her nightmares to the voice.

Immediately after, she couldn't contain her emotions anymore and began to cry loudly.

After all, she was only thirteen years old.

Outside the door, a girl with long pale blue hair listened to the whole process. She pursed her lips, gently placed the porridge in her hand on the ground, and walked away quickly.

The porridge bowl was on the ground, exuding a faint residual warmth.

"It's snowing, and this year's snow is coming much earlier than usual!"

Outside the gate of the Central Imperial Academy, a snow-white girl reached out to catch the slowly falling snowflakes. The whiteness melted into the girl's white and tender little hands, turning into a puddle of clear water.

The girl took off the white headphones from her head and gently shook her long, unadorned silver hair. The beautiful white and purple heterochromatic pupils narrowed slightly, a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and suddenly disappeared in place, leaving only more and more snowflakes.

PS: The school in the novel starts on January 1st (I won't say I'm too lazy to set a new time counting method), and the school system is 9 months from the beginning of the year, with three months off.

PPS: By the way, determine the update time, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, about 3,000 words per chapter. (I've been squeezing in as much time as I can!!! )
