Chapter 334 I Surpass This Victory (Third Update)

When Lily finished killing the lone Moon Children and slowly crept back to the hall in the shadows, she was suddenly shocked.

Why is there white ash all over the ground?

She had just left the hall not long ago, and at that time, some Moon Children had been attacked and killed by the earthbound spirits.

Lily roughly guessed that it must be the work of the young master.

Because she had noticed that Aiwass went to inquire about the haunted inn near Eagle Cape Village and prepared the materials for sealing the Flame Butterfly...so she felt that Aiwass might have gone to catch ghosts.

The result was really...

But that kind of death was not thorough for the Moon Children.

As Director Cornelius said, it is difficult for the earthbound spirit to directly harm the Moon Children. The Moon Children killed by him are usually those newborns who are weak enough. After all, their souls are too fragile...directly attacking the soul, bypassing the immortality of the Moon Children and smashing them into powder.

And the rest are basically the Moon Children who are trapped in hallucinations killing each other.

The death caused by this kind of killing without finishing blows is not terrible - although they fall to the ground and lose their breath and heartbeat, as long as the blood has not completely drained, they are not really dead.

Even if they turn into gray-white sculptures, as long as enough blood is splashed at this time, they can still be awakened.

Even if the sculptures are destroyed by extraordinary power and only ashes are left, a certain amount of ashes can be combined with the bodies of other extraordinary people of the Path of Love to form a new Moon Child. This is also a kind of rebirth.

And if the amount of ashes is large enough, they can also be resurrected directly through rituals... But such Moon Children are multiple in one.

——Only those newborns will be afraid of this.

Because they do not have the common sense of being monsters, they still regard themselves as the dead before, so they are afraid of physical death.

If you want to kill the Moon Child completely, you must use the holy water of the Path of Dedication or other liquids of the Path to soak these ashes. Or they would burn them to death with fire and light, or directly attack their souls to kill them. The burned-to-death Moon Children would skip immortality, not become sculptures but directly become ashes, just like the old man who was attacked by the earthbound spirit and died.

Such ashes cannot create new Moon Children, nor can they be resurrected.

Lily had already prepared herself mentally. There would definitely be a large number of Moon Children gathered in this hall, and their levels would undoubtedly be higher than those who escaped. And this would definitely be a fierce battle.

But in the end, there was only one Moon Child sitting alone in the hall.

That was a green-eyed woman with beautiful and smooth black long hair and glasses.

She tasted the blood wine alone, with an indifferent and arrogant expression on her face.

Opposite her, sat another woman who looked exactly like her. She was steaming with black smoke, looking at this side with malice... In appearance, except for not wearing glasses, she seemed to be no different from that person.

She was holding another girl in her arms. The girl was looking at Lily, with a fox-like gentle fake smile that Lily was very familiar with.

Lily relied on her own induction and almost immediately recognized the identity of the "other Bayard" who was not wearing glasses.

That was...

--Miss Shadow Demon?

"How could it be..."

Seeing this scene, the first one to fall into confusion and astonishment was... the Shadow Demon in Lily's shadow.

There is no doubt that she also sensed the other party's identity.

"Thank you for your hard work... Alai. You saved me a lot of time."

Aiwass said with a smile, raising a glass of wine to Lily: "Are you thirsty? Drink some? There is no blood in this."

Her face was filled with a bad taste that only she and Lily could understand.

And Lily also reacted quickly.

He walked over helplessly, took the red wine from Aiwass's hand, and skillfully helped Aiwass open the bottle and pour two glasses-that was a kind of red wine that had become extremely rare and expensive later because of the war in the empire.

Aiwass was probably too lazy to open the bottle himself, so he held it and waited for Lily to come over...

Lily said casually: "What are you doing, Mr. Gray? Oh, by the way, I have killed the ban..."

"That's great."

Aiwass said lightly: "In this way, there are already six people confirmed dead - we have won again."

"...Six people?"

Lily was a little surprised: "I thought you...you killed them all."

"One missed. He ran too fast, there is nothing I can do."

Aiwass showed a meaningful smile: "But it's okay to let him live... He is also a talent. Killing him may reduce his talent."

--I understand, the young master is moved again.

Lily thought.

Lily is now very familiar with this expression-when Aiwass went to find Mr. "King" before, he had this expression. It was a strong desire of "I see, I want, I get".

However, with such a short contact, the young master can actually directly see the true identity of the other party...This kind of investigation ability is really amazing.

Lily sighed in her heart.

"...Sure enough."

The shadow demon in Lily's shadow sighed, seeming a little confused: "This is a... promotion ceremony."

When it heard the "promotion quota" before, it vaguely sensed that something was wrong. But it just didn't want to believe it.

And now it is really confirmed.

The hatred, pain, confusion in my heart... are all false. And the desire for revenge is also false.

Just thinking about it, the hatred when I saw "Bayard" in front of me became so absurd and ridiculous.

——Looking at the shadow demon, it knew that it had eaten Bayard in the future. Otherwise, the silhouette transformed by the shadow demon would not have color.

If the person it transformed was colored, it meant that it had devoured the other party and completed assimilation. Incorporated the other party into a part of itself.

In other words, I have completed revenge in the future.

Now there are three Bayards here.

Bayard as the son of the moon; Bayard who was resurrected as a demon; Bayard who became a shadow demon and followed his master back to the past...

The past, present and future. Intertwined, this contradiction and pain made the shadow demon feel that his brain, which no longer existed, seemed to emit a painful buzz.

But at this moment, as the desire for revenge faded, a new confusion arose in her heart...

Looking at the terrifying and cold demonic posture of "future self" - compared with "Bayard" next to him, who is more like a monster?

"You should leave soon, right?"

Bayard, the son of the moon, suddenly said: "Then we will never see each other again."

She looked at the girl, her eyes full of nostalgia.

"If, as you said, six ascenders have been killed...even the New Moon Ritual should be completed."

Bayard, the shadow demon, made a low rumble: "Or, do you have any other tasks to do if you stay here?"

"There is indeed one more."

The girl replied.

She looked at the son of the moon, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face that startled the shadow demon.

She walked over slowly and hugged the son of the moon from behind.

She leaned over and whispered: "My master...

"-Excuse me, can I kill you? "

Miss Bayard, who had her back to Aiwass, smiled when she heard this.

It was a smile that she had guessed and prepared for, so it looked very calm and peaceful.

"Okay."

She turned her back to Aiwass without looking back and said softly, "We have already agreed on this."

The Shadow Demon, who witnessed this scene, only felt that his non-existent brain was vibrating violently.

It felt as if he had missed something important.

Another "self" appeared in Lily's shadow at this moment. She entered so smoothly and naturally that she forced the Shadow Demon into a corner.

The Shadow Demon finally realized why this person's shadow was so attractive and why he instinctively got in... like a puppy that ran into a new kennel.

"I have an idea."

The future self said, "I know you want to kill 'Bayard' once, and I want to too. But I can't devour her anymore."

"Haven't you already devoured her once?"

The Shadow Demon sneered, "Do you still want to eat me? But I am fake, and eating it is nothing but air. "

"No," another self responded calmly, "I have never eaten Bayard.

"In the history I experienced, she finally offered herself to me. Because of this, I no longer use the name Bayard and almost no longer use this body."

"...What?"

The Shadow Demon was stunned.

"We have been through a lot and even became friends in the end. Her active sacrifice ended my revenge and calmed the endless anger in my heart. I regained my rationality, but removed the rage mark, so I can no longer become stronger."

The future Shadow Demon said calmly: "But my revenge did not end correctly after all.

"I think this may be my only chance in this life. The merciful twin mirror allows me to contact my past self... and contact my two past selves at the same time.

"Even if everything is false, the experience left behind will be real - I think this is what the twin mirrors should be saying."

"...Forget it."

The shadow demon was silent for a while, and sighed: "Whatever you want."

It felt that it was gradually merging with another self.

The shadow demon was originally an amorphous body, without a body, without a name, and without a color. Only a ball of rage burning in the void.

But now, it felt the cold and empty heart of another self.

But now, in it...it seemed to vaguely feel a touch of warmth that should not exist.

It was like flowing blood, and it seemed to be a golden sun.

It was a deep purple glow, a freedom beyond all constraints-

"...It's great."

The shadow demon sighed silently.

-I really envy you.

The shadow under Aiwass gradually spread like a quagmire.

And the shadow demon, transformed into a hound, got out from under Miss Bayard who was motionless.

The dog head, taller than a human, opened its mouth, revealing huge and sharp teeth. The shadow dog swallowed Bayard whole, dragging him into a shadow like a black swamp.

That was "Shadow Dog Bite", the strongest move of the shadow demon. It swallowed people up instantly - even if the opponent tried his best to resist, he would be taken to the dream world and lose his body.

If the opponent's resistance was ineffective, or he simply did not resist, he would become the food of the shadow demon.

——In this way, all tasks are completed.

So Aiwass took a sip of the expensive red wine, looked at the shadow demon who suddenly lost his voice after swallowing Bayard, and said calmly: "As for the last person, he should be Mr. Stranger who was next door to me at the time. He was bought by Bashir Valentine, and he should still be discussing alchemy with him on the carriage.

"As for the person next to me...she is not Alai, but Hui. I am Alai.

"Is this okay, Lord Terpsicori? Does this meet the settlement conditions for Secret Reflection?"

After a brief silence, an ethereal and melodious soft voice sounded:

"Trigger the victory condition of 'Secret Reflection' and ignore the necessary tasks and settle them in advance——"

A pure white light shone in front of everyone's eyes, including all the dead ritual participants.

It was the brilliance of the temporary collapse and disintegration of the dream world.

In front of everyone's eyes, a series of constantly changing pictures appeared:

The bound young man, with anger burning in his eyes, cursed loudly;

The young man walking in the secret passage was suddenly penetrated by the ice thorn behind him in the back of his head;

A mass of something that could not be seen was swallowed up and swallowed by countless scarlet tentacles amidst the shrill screams;

The girl lying on the ground was bleeding from all her orifices and her eyes were empty;

The young man's naked body is covered with traces of corrosion by strong acid, and his face shows a look of pain and struggle;

With a helpless but not panic smile on her face, the girl was calmly stabbed into a sea urchin by the shadow spear;

The girl happily chatted with each other at the wine table, and the atmosphere between the two was harmonious and warm;

Shadows were wrapped around the young man's feet, and the smile on his face became weird and terrifying because of this;

And in the end, the well-behaved girl lay quietly in the arms of the black-haired woman and slept peacefully.

The picture was fixed on the sweet sleeping face of the girl, and then the entire picture collapsed and turned into a sea of ​​blood, slowly dripping.

Avas couldn't hold himself any longer.

"——Why is this picture like this!"
