He killed someone.
Â
People could not believe it.
Â
The person they had just viewed as a hero mercilessly exploded a girl into pieces in the blink of an eye!
Â
Furthermore, he brazenly declared that he would hold everyone's lives in his hand!
Â
What utter chaos!
Â
"Yaaaahhhh!!!!"
Â
Terrified by the fire rain exploding all over the sky, the crowd's panic began once again.
Â
Taking advantage of the second floor not being too high from the ground, large groups of people desperately began smashing windows to escape the colosseum.
Â
Eugene was indifferent to all of it.
Â
The dramatic effect he needed had been achieved; the rest were mere words for show, used to set the mood.
Â
Pitter-patter.
Â
The sound of sparks falling to the ground was very faint.
Â
But for those who had witnessed the tragedy firsthand, a piercing buzz was mixed within the continuous sound.
Â
Lefiya was dead.
Â
Just because of a single thought from this man.
Â
She died without a complete corpse.
Â
Tiona and Tione were completely stunned.
Â
They had only just managed to open their eyes, only to see this scene.
Â
Loki, Shakti, and others on the edge of the arena were completely shaken by Eugene's atrocity.
Â
Because the event was so sudden, they had no capacity to think in any other direction.
Â
This is "love blinds" or "being too close to see the truth."
Â
As for the source of everything, Ais.
Â
At this moment, she felt all five of her senses were in chaos.
Â
Completely unable to distinguish between reality and dream.
Â
She had just woken up from a nightmare, but the blow of reality plunged her back into despair.
Â
"No, it can't be..."
Â
"Lefiya, Lefiya..."
Â
Ais reached out her hand but couldn't grasp anything.
Â
The elven girl's voice and smiling face were vivid before her eyes.
Â
And just until moments ago, she could still feel her presence.
Â
But she had only been immersed in an illusionary dream for a few minutes.
Â
Everything was irreversible.
Â
Death.
Â
Unlike the death of a monster.
Â
The death of a loved oneâthis was the first time Ais had experienced it since her parents.
Â
It felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her chest, and her limbs had sunk into the earth.
Â
Darkness filled her sight, and cries, both near and far, echoed in her ears.
Â
Some were from others, some were her own.
Â
"This is reality."
Â
"Everyone will die."
Â
Magic power surged around Eugene's body, making him look like a fiend.
Â
His voice was hollow and ruthless; his former casual elegance and benevolent facade had vanished entirely.
Â
"And the source of all this is you."
Â
"If you were strong enough, you could have killed me in an instant."
Â
"In that case, she wouldn't have had to die."
Â
His words did not provoke a reaction from Ais.
Â
The once dazzling and noble star of tomorrow was now crawling in the dust, trapped by memories of the past.
Â
There was warm light there, sweet-smelling flowers, a mother who read to her, and a father who taught her swordsmanship.
Â
And Lefiya, who was always smiling.
Â
That place was wonderful.
Â
But that place was only an obsession.
Â
That place did not exist.
Â
"Even this can't make you stand up~."
Â
Eugene sighed, lamenting that this girl's "conquest difficulty" was too high.
Â
Unlike other supporting characters, though they had their own storylines, they ultimately could not compare to the heroine.
Â
The weight of their "fate" is different; it can be understood as such.
Â
"Since that's the case, I'll just kill a few more."
Â
Eugene started walking again.
Â
The great-axe appeared in his hand. The blade dragged on the ground, creating a horrifying shhh sound and a sizzle as it scorched the earth.
Â
His gaze turned to Tiona and Tione. Although they were wary of Eugene's killing intent, they were not yet at the point of letting him slaughter them.
Â
"You bastard! Come on!"
Â
Unable to believe Eugene would commit such a brutal act, Tiona's eyes were crimson, and she gripped her weapon with a choked voice.
Â
Tione, too, emitted a fierce, beast-like aura with a face full of rage.
Â
"No need for all that trouble."
Â
Eugene raised his hand, and black lightning leaped again.
Â
"I can make you fight each other."
Â
"The power of the curse can make people who deeply love each other fall into a world of hatred."
Â
"Since you care for each other, let's turn that motivation into a slaughter!"
Â
The magical aura in his hand was fully gathered, and it was about to be unleashed!
Â
Shakti and the others on the sidelines had originally been ready to attack and subdue Eugene together.
Â
But upon hearing this message, they were forced to maintain their distance.
Â
Dix's Frenzy magic's effect on the "battlefield" was simply too prominent.
Â
It could reverse the situation even in a one-on-many fight.
Â
Only a high-level magic robe capable of resisting the power of curses.
Â
Or like Eugene, preemptively releasing area-of-effect magic to interrupt the spell, would give a chance to win.
Â
None of the people present met these conditions.
Â
"Damn it!" Loki glared, clenching her fists.
Â
Watching Eugene about to harm her children again, she was utterly helpless!
Â
Her shrewd, narrow eyes were wide open; her usual composure was gone.
Â
Was there truly no way?
Â
Whoosh!
Â
Just at the moment Eugene was about to unleash that sinister magic power!
Â
A heavy heartbeat sound entered his ears.
Â
What followed was an exaggerated amplification of magic power!
Â
Whoosh...
Â
Whoosh...
Â
Whoosh...
Â
Wind suddenly began to blow across the arena.
Â
The black dust particles scorched by the fierce fire drifted along with the swirling air currents.
Â
They gradually formed pieces of black dust in mid-air.
Â
And their texture, as the wind speed increased, gradually became denser and thicker.
Â
After just a few breaths, they had already transformed into pitch-black flowing clouds that blocked out the sky!
Â
Black Wind!
Â
Reflected in Eugene's eyes was Ais, whose golden hair was wildly dancing, standing tall like a witch of the forest.
Â
Her face was hidden in shadow. Under her feet, the crushed healing potion was actually floating up drop by drop, rapidly mending the injury on her abdomen.
Â
Streaks of pitch-black magic power swirled around the girl who had shed all pretense.
Â
Faintly outlining the silhouette of a ferocious demon.
Â
"Finally..."
Â
Eugene watched Ais, who was embraced by a brutal aura, and his breathing slowed for a moment.
Â
But only a moment later, he focused all his spirit on the opponent before him!
Â
From now on, he could not afford the slightest carelessness!
Â
"Enough..."
Â
Ais's cold voice vibrated in the wind, becoming hoarse and hollow.
Â
Her bloodshot eyes projected a viper-like gaze, like tangible blades and spears.
Â
Beneath the broken sword in her hand, the black wind, carrying sand and gravel, condensed into a distorted, slender sharp blade.
Â
"I will not let you harm the people I care about... again..."
Â
"No matter who you are..."
Â
"No matter what your purpose is..."
Â
"I will..."
Â
She pointed the blade in her hand straight ahead. A monstrous murderous aura erupted from her slender body, tearing the surrounding ground!
Â
"Kill you!!"
Â
Ais's roar, accompanied by the howl of the gale, was like a Banshee's piercing shriek, sending a chill down everyone's spine!
Â
Swish!
Â
Her feet moved, and her powerful push-off from the ground did not create much sound.
Â
That was because she was now one with the pitch-black wind!
Â
Eugene was momentarily dazzled!
Â
The air currents were turbid and dark, enough to obscure a person's vision.
Â
He immediately swung his great-axe, his muscles tensed throughout his body, and the stance ingrained in his bones was instantly activated!
Â
Sun Breathing, Sixth Form: Burning Bones, Summer Sun!
Â
Spirals of flame smashed toward the darkness in front.
Â
But this time, the winds seemed to have a physical form, actually beginning to intertwine and erode the flames, like a battle between a black giant python and a fire dragon.
Â
Whoosh!
Â
Just then, a ghost-like shadow flashed and disappeared before Eugene's eyes.
Â
Ais's hateful gaze almost made his skin feel a stinging pain.
Â
Eugene did not dare to be negligent; the Black Wind state was Ais's hidden ultimate move.
Â
Although she wasn't holding the "Sword of Despair" right now, she probably already possessed the fighting power of a Level 6!
Â
The only things Eugene could rely on were his monstrous strength and his wall of fire!
Â
Sun Breathing, First Form: Waltz!!
Â
This move had no flaw in terms of range, speed, or power!
Â
The huge ring of fire surrounding him was capable of both offense and defense, and would absolutely not...
Â
"F***!!!!"
Â
Cursing angrily in his heart, Eugene saw Ais had already raised the black sword in her hand high!
Â
She actually managed to precisely seize the gap in Eugene's great-axe swing and successfully broke into the inside of the ring of fire!
Â
This speed was simply immeasurable!
Â
Eugene dared not be slow; the muscles in his hands bulged, and he was about to pull the great-axe to seamlessly transition to the next move.
Â
But the moment his body moved.
Â
Swish!!
Â
Ais was expressionless, and a diagonal slash struck him.
Â
The heavy force started at his shoulder and spread all the way to his flank.
Â
If it weren't for the protection of the Black Goliath Coat, Eugene felt that this one blow would be enough to disembowel him!
Â
But even with the defensive divine artifact, his bones still creaked from the impact.
Â
Resistance Transfer + Hyper Regeneration!
Â
He clenched his teeth, and the minor injury vanished instantly!
Â
Immediately, under Ais's surprised gaze, he launched a counterattack.
Â
Sun Breathing, Twelfth Form: Flame Dance!!
Â
A cross-shaped semicircle slash!
Â
Two massive slashes, vertical and horizontal, tore apart the Banshee's shadow in front of Eugene.
Â
Blazing flames shook the earth, and sparks burst out like a tide.
Â
But this did not cause Ais any damage.
Â
She wore layers of black gauze, walking along Eugene's line of alert, her figure flickering in and out of sight.
Â
"Very good."
Â
This time, it was her turn to evaluate Eugene.
Â
"Since you have this level of skill, I will make you die a little at a time, painfully!"
Â
"I will absolutely make you pay a price ten times more painful than hers!"
Â
Damn it, why are you talking tough to me?
Â
Eugene really wanted to complain.
Â
But he held back.
Â
Fine, the more dark and edgy you are now, the more I'll make you suffer from social death later!
Â
Thinking of this, his tension eased considerably, and his fighting spirit surged up again.
Â
"You talk a big game, but does your strength actually measure up?"
Â
Fire blazed in his eyes.
Â
He pointed his hand at his own head.
"If you have the ability, come and take it!"
