Chapter 121: The Masquerade (Part I)

The sky, the ground, everywhere are colorful colorful streamers. Accompanied by loud and cheerful sounds, a large number of animals that can only be found in circuses are dressed up.

Elephants striding forward with beautiful patterns, lions wearing collars and jumping rings of fire under the command of animal trainers, parrots flying between flags and streamers with human vocals, clowns in funny masks performing magic tricks and comedy.

It was a grand New Year's show, a grand celebration that Ulysses had never seen before. No matter from which point of view, the animals and people in the performance are very dedicated, and the acting skills are also top-notch.

However, the actor is not right.

Ulysses looked at the circus-like men, who were mostly girls, and most of them had the emblem of the Shining Academy on their chests.

Most of the students studying in Radiant Academy are geniuses with excellent character and learning, and there may be a few students who rely on recommendations, but no matter what kind of students they are, it is difficult to imagine that they will perform this kind of circus.

There may be one or two students who have a special interest in this art, but there will never be such a large number. And judging from the level of their performances, they have exceeded the general professional level.

Ulysses walked among the New Year's celebrations, and even though he was among them, they were as immersed in their performances as if they hadn't seen him.

Are they really happy? Ulysses looked at the noisy crowd around him, and saw a trace of horror and uneasiness in the depths of their happy eyes, like dolls who had lost themselves and were manipulated by something.

"Ulysses! ...... quickly" came from somewhere, a distant and faint voice, a voice familiar to Ulysses.

"Ayu, what's going on?" The most important reason why Ulysses rushed back to the Radiant Academy so desperately was to find Ayu and ask her about the gem.

Whatever the principle of the gem was made, it was the only way he knew of finding "Yuria", even if it was just incomplete fragments.

"The one who escaped...... It's scary...... Intrusion ......" Ayu's voice became choppy, and it sounded like just the sound was exhausting her strength.

"Hurry up and find ...... Otherwise...... No, woo-goo, come and save me......" As he said this, Ayu's voice finally broke off completely. Judging by the last voice, her situation was not ordinarily bad.

"Is that the thing?" Although Ayu was asked to help find the thing that escaped from the gate she guarded, Ulysses didn't help because he didn't know what it looked like or what its characteristics were.

It was clear that he underestimated the ability of the things that escaped from Ayu. If everything in front of it is caused by its power, then the power it possesses is definitely not ordinarily powerful.

Because, what is in front of him is not some phantom, these girls of the Radiant Academy are all real here, and those animals are not out of thin air, they are all real.

It's just that the truth that belonged to them was distorted by some powerful force, which even separated Helen from him and made him a human being again.

"Shahime. Unfolding the Book of the Demon King, Ulysses sent his direct team out and ordered them to search the surrounding area as much as possible.

"Yikes!"

"Hmm!"

"Hey!"

After receiving the order, the Shahimes gathered around Ulysses for their usual fiery and fiery expressions of affection, and then separated into the vast campus.

And Ulysses himself walked directly in the direction of the branch of the Radiant Academy, and his steps did not waver in the slightest.

It is still the road with almost no end in sight, but at the moment there are streamers flying on both sides of the road, and one by one Ulysses and some familiar girls are celebrating the arrival of the new year in their own ways.

But Ulysses saw no true joy in the depths of their eyes. They are supposed to be full of vitality, youth and hope, but most of them are dazed and sluggish, like dolls who have lost their sense of self.

Surely, I will save you, Ulysses made up his mind and walked forward without hesitation.

............Ahem!" Noah gasped for air, just now, her tenth breakout had failed. The girls who seemed to be just performing, all gained incredible strength, the ability to concentrate together, and they actually dragged her to death, and they couldn't even fly.

At Noah's side were the members of the Apostolic Order, each of whom looked at the group of girls outside the castle with different expressions, obviously feeling a headache as well.

"Noah, is there still no way to find the key to lifting the blockade around here?" Arcelia wiped her holy sword, this golden holy sword has a powerful lethal power against all evil creatures, but now it is not an evil creature outside, but an ordinary girl who should be in school.

"There's no way, I can't find a way to break through this blockade without hurting them, it's good that you found out early, otherwise I might have been caught by them. Noah shook his head.

It's not that the members gathered in this super defensive castle can't really break through the encirclement, it's just that doing so will cause a lot of casualties, and this last resort method should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, it is not these girls who are just students who are really dangerous, but a few giant creatures that lurk in the castle underground and in the sky.

"It's strange, aren't these the male super monsters that have long been confirmed extinct?" In the corner of the castle, Hydra and Kana whispered.

"That hexagonal lizard was gone 10,000 years ago, and it can't be alive. Kana scratched the soles of her feet, this very violent male super monster was too belligerent to have a single one left before she was born.

"It's better for this ugly and brainless guy to go extinct sooner. Hydra made such an assessment.

Almost recovered, Noah stood up again, put his sword away, and stared at the circus and the looming trolls that surrounded the castle.

"There can be no mistake, this is indeed the talent that the second princess of the twenty who unfortunately suffered once showed, dreaming of a happy masquerade. He was a kind child who once wished that everyone could be happy. ”

However, the strength of this ability is more than 100 times that of her life. ”
