"What...... How could this be?" Jude couldn't believe what he saw, how could the paladin be hypnotized by him before, why was he able to appear in front of him unharmed at this time?

"You may not know, Jude, that the Light is capable of dispelling the effects of arcane magic. Alonsos walked slowly and said in a calm and serious tone, "This is an important lesson in your life in every sense of the word. ”

Damn it!, Jude tried to clench the black sword with his weak right arm, but was about to swing it but was knocked away by a swift backhand blow from Kirekanon. Cyrens drew a pitch-black arc and stuck it in the dirt not far away, and the paladin took the opportunity to clamp the boy's hands from behind.

The severely depleted spirit made it difficult for him to concentrate and cast a phase shift, and Jude knew that even if he jumped far away, he would have no chance of winning against the archbishop and Kirekhanon joining forces with him.

Leia in the mirage gave herself a chance, but even if she gave it her all and gave it her all, couldn't she avoid defeat after all?

"I'm not reconciled...... I'm not reconciled!" Jude turned his head to look at the circle, and Leia's body was surrounded by more and more dazzling light, and the girl seemed to fall into a coma, and let out a faint moan of involuntary relief.

"I deeply regret it, but the matter has come to this point, there is no other choice, maybe this is the destiny that you and I are destined for. ”

"Don't talk to yourself there, Alphonsos!" the young man glared at the sanctimonious archbishop, "why do you sacrifice other people's lives casually? Who gave you the power?!"

Unaware of the resemblance to a certain necromancer and mercenary not long ago, Jude was thrilled: "As the archbishop of the Holy Light Sect, you are so cunning and hypocritical, manipulating and using believers to achieve your own goals!"

"If I hadn't accidentally wasted too much mana before, if I hadn't used my pocket watch to save those people, I would have defeated you a long time ago!"

"Calm down, Jude. Archbishop Alphonsos stared at the young man in front of him with a look of mixed compassion and regret, "As I said before, this is an important lesson in your life. The Light teaches us that the meaning of life is to illuminate more people, like a candle that burns a candle, and at this moment the Holy Maiden realizes the value of her life and sacrifices herself to save tens of thousands of lives. ”

"Don't be presumptuous there, Alphonsos! I won't allow it...... I won't allow you to fool people, I won't allow you to hurt Leia, I won't allow you!Did you hear that?!I won't allow you!" Jude yelled almost uncontrollably, "Even the most passive resistance, as long as it can help me now...... Itinavne!"

"You've finally figured it out. The voice rang out in Jude's heart.

"Revos_ilos_osarc......" combines a premonition of danger with a warning from his teacher, and Jude recites this unknown and mysterious incantation aloud.

"Stop him!" Alphonsos reacted immediately, swinging his staff to interrupt the spell cast by the young man in front of him, but it was already too late.

A vague black figure rose from Jude's dim shadow and slammed into the Lord and knocked him away.

“...... alcrem_maz-na......”

At the same time, a huge palm of shadow sprang out of the soil, easily grasping the heavily armored Kirikanon and throwing it.

“...... alcrem_xi'ante_misum_le_nagas！”

As the boy chanted the mantra, a new star of pitch-black energy spread out from under his feet, stunning all the assistant priests who were hiding on the periphery to watch the battle.

Freed from the paladin's grasp, Jude quickly ran to the side, pulled out the black sword Cyrens, and sheathed it, turning to look at the dark figure.

The young man was surprised to find that the silhouette of the person in front of him was exactly the same as his own, and he couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"

The shadow was silent for a moment, then replied in a sentimental tone, "Finally succeeded in backtracking, and my long wanderings are finally over." Thank you, Jude, for helping yourself. ”

"Yes, I am you. Or rather, I am one of the countless possibilities for your future. I traveled through endless planes and failed countless times to come back here. I have things to do. ”

"Don't bother you yet, we'll see you again soon. With that, the shadow turned and walked briskly into the darkness in the distance.

The young man could not accept it, and he could not even imagine it, and he did not have the leisure to think about it at this time.

Seeing the mysterious figure disappear into the depths of the night, Jude hurriedly ran to the circle.

"Jude. Strangely, Leia woke up at this time, standing in the center of the circle, looking at the young man with a sad expression.

Beside her, countless dazzling rays of light swirled, encircled, and sublimated, floating high into the sky.

"Leia!" Jude tried to step into the circle but was blocked by a barrier of light, "Are you okay?"

Hearing the young man's question, the girl looked at the ground in silence, then raised her head again and smiled: "Well, there is no need to hide it from Jude anymore...... I'm leaving soon. ”

"What? No, no...... How do you close this damn circle?" Jude slammed into the wall of light, drawing his sword and slashing at it in vain, "There must be a way, right?" ”

"Thank you, Jude. But maybe, there's really no way to close it. Leia still smiled, calm enough to drive the boy insane.

"Don't say that, Leia. Let's go back to Lambertine, buy a big farm on the Scott Plains, and ...... Well, there may not be any going back. But we can go to Lanlens, yes, to Lanlens, I'm rich now...... Hold on, don't give up! Didn't you say let's go and live a good life together, Leia!"

"Thank you, Jude. Thank you so much. The girl was still smiling, but tears were sliding down her cheeks as if they were dripping on the boy's heart.

"There's only one regret, Jude, do you remember? how beautiful those white, cold elves are flying down from the sky...... Maybe it's a little early, and I haven't seen snow since the snow came. ”

"I remember, I remember! Go and see the snow, let's go and see it together, to the edge of the wind zone and see the scenery of the snow-covered mountains at dusk. Wait a minute, I'll use a spell to get you out...... With veto, with dispel magic......"

"Don't bother, Jude, it's too late. Leia smiled and shook her head, the light around her growing brighter and brighter, and the purification ritual was about to be completed.

"Don't think about me, Jude. See you later. ”

The dazzling light suddenly burst out and spread from the magic circle, and a dazzling pure white instantly enveloped the young man's vision.

"Leia! No, Leia!"
