28. Decisive Battle at Dawn
The light of dawn is red.
Just like the light bursting out of burning flames, after the crimson golden light dissipates, the original sunshine belonging to this world takes over the scenery that should not have remained here.
More than ten years later, the sunshine like the past was once again proudly spread in this unrecognizable world.
Unable to be seen by ordinary people, the invisible dimensional barrier shines with colorful halos in the sunlight. The departure of the Scarlet Witch re-erected a wall that can protect itself for the world.
The heroes' efforts and sacrifices have truly brought a future that can be expected to be brought to this world.
Although, there is still a long way to go before the recovery of civilization.
But, since you have started, you have embarked on the road ahead.
Then the people who have experienced hardships and regained hope are left with only trekking through storms until the fire of civilization once again covers every piece of the earth in this world.
That is the mission they must accomplish.
At the brighter dawn, the eastern continent of the ghost world has been broken into archipelago.
On a rather large but empty island, the witch Hermione, holding a sharp sword, faced against Dumm, who was wearing a long robe and resting his armor at the end.
This is the final battle place between the two.
It is far enough from the Western Continent, a place that mortals cannot reach. In the world that Artoria has washed with golden light, there will be no monsters to disturb the two.
In the slightly refreshing sea breeze, the witch raised her head and looked at the sunshine in the sky. Her long hair danced in the wind. She covered the upper part of her eyes with her left hand and looked farther away.
She said to the silent Doom:
"Do you have a feeling... this world, it's real."
"Um."
Dum nodded in his signature silent gesture.
He held a silver, multi-functional repair tool in his hand, similar to a screwdriver, to do the last repair of the armor that had become broken in the previous battle.
He replied in a hoarse, muffled voice:
"The Raven lied to us, and he swore to tell everyone that this world was shaped, but not."
"A world that has been shaped cannot simulate this sense of reality. I guess he has found this world among the vast and boundless stars."
"Maybe the story that happened in this world is fictional, but as you said, the world itself is real."
After Doom also confirmed the guess, the witch chuckled.
In the sun, she waved the mechanical sword in her hand in a pretty good manner, she said:
"In other words, we have truly saved a world just now, not just a non-existent dream."
"Click"
With a slight sound, a piece of silver outer armor was fixed.
Dumm moved his fingers, and after confirming that the combat function of the basic armor was almost restored, he put away his tools, stood up, and said to Hermione:
"Will you feel happy if you save the world?"
"Pleasant...no question."
In the sword light flying in his hand, Hermione patted his witch's robe and said frankly:
"But it's true that I'm full of accomplishment. Although this is not my credit alone, I guess my brother who is hard to guess also hopes to see this ending."
"He..."
Hermione shook her head and said in a helpless tone with complaints:
"Don't look at him as a hell master now, he likes this kind of story of heroic salvation. After all, when I met him, he appeared as a hero and saved me, and there were many people."
"Yeah?"
Dum reached out and pulled his hood. As his arms relaxed, a golden stream of light burst out from his fingertips, and several circles were wrapped around Dum's palm.
He looked up at Hermione and said:
"I'm quite interested in the starting point of Merlin's life, but these things can be discussed later."
"Buzz"
Two leaping cross-star lights penetrated several rings in Dum's palm. As the magical power was swallowing and spitting, the wizard king's tone became cold.
He said:
"It's been delayed for too long, and the audience is probably impatient. Let's end this matter."
"Um?"
Hermione tilted her head in surprise, her five fingers were moving, and a black sharp-horned wizard hat with a witch-style appearance appeared in her hand. She held the hat on her head, and she said:
"Aren't you, who has been delaying time? This is not my fault..."
Before he finished speaking, a red halo shot out from the witch's slender body.
The assassinator Yingling Skaha, who was surrounded by murderous aura, rushed out of the shadow of the Lord, and the red spear rotated rapidly in her hand, like a round red light belt.
As the black hair danced, the cold hero rushed towards Dum in a streaming posture, and the latter's figure quickly divided into five identical illusions in trembling.
But the moment the body flew into the air, a large-scale fire spell spurted out from the ground like surging magma as Hermione's finger wand swayed.
The illusion that Dumm differentiated was engulfed by flames in an instant, and the fastest-reacting body was entangled by Skaha, who was waving his spear.
Just in time, the thruster of Dum's footsteps was easily destroyed by Skaha.
But the final counterattack of the Wizard King's clone technique was also quite fierce. Before being burned and destroyed by the Scarlet Curse, they tried their best to throw out various magic, forcing Hermione to use the Scarlet Curse to dodge many times.
After the caster level reaches the great wizard, the spell of the shapeshift spell is completely instantaneous.
As long as the magic power can keep up, Hermione can use it one after another, just like a dodge buff that resides on her body.
"boom"
Dum crossed his hands and blocked Skaha's spear and shot.
The spear with the power of death is the sharpest weapon. As the sparks splashed, Dum's set of armor covered with scars was like a dismemberment. After several contacts, Skaha removed the armor on his arms and abdomen.
But the protection of the armor also gave Dum enough time.
The moment the red light shot at Dumu's forehead, the golden magic exploded, and thousands of runes opened in front of Dumu's eyes. In the cold and calm gaze of the wizard king, holding a spear in his hand, and expressionless Skaha was like a moth rushing into the net.
In the next second, the heroic spirit was entangled by the beating runes.
This thing is a simplified version of the exorcist ritual used by Dum to bind the great evil spirits just now.
Although the flying runes were as dim as the moment when the two collided, the flying runes were as fast as when they turned off the lamp, the few seconds of Skaha being imprisoned still created an excellent opportunity for Dum.
Dumm is a genius among the spellcasters. He is not good at heroic magic, but he knows the biggest disadvantages of heroic magic.
The heroes summoned from time and space may be very powerful. They exist in the form of spiritual bodies. This alone makes them immune to a lot of aggressive magic, but compared to the difficult heroes, those emperors are much easier to deal with.
"cunning!"
Hermione must have known the weaknesses that Dumm knew.
The moment she saw Skaha being imprisoned, the witch took a runaway posture, like a ghost jumping on the sea, using several shape-shifting spells to try to widen the distance from Dumm.
But the Wizard King has been preparing for the final kill for so long, it must not be so easy to avoid.
"Boom, boom, boom"
It was the decisive moment, and Dum no longer hid. All the technological weapons remaining in the almost broken armor were buzzing on the surrounding sea in a cover bombardment.
The fire broke out and the tide surged.
The unruly explosion stopped Hermione's plan to jump out of this sea in an instant.
Behind her, Dumm flew in the air by magic, holding the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and the super-large halo shone in front of him, and the beating cross-star lights illuminated Hermione's eyes.
The witch knew that it was not a way to escape, and Skaha only needed a few more seconds to break free from the shackles.
So she turned around, stabbed the mechanical sword in her hand into the ground, and pointed the wand on the hilt. The next moment, the energy that burst out like a city wall covered the witch.
Don't seek to kill, just block.
"boom"
A golden beam of terrifying light like a trajectory strike erupted from the magic circle in front of Dumu. At the moment of ejection, the terrifying magic power spread outwards. The sea around the two seemed to be pushed out by invisible force.
The beam of light shot out was like a fist of a god, hitting hard on the shield in front of Hermione. The moment he contacted, the defensive magic in front of the witch was declared broken.
"!"
Hermione narrowed her eyes, and this beam of light blocked the surrounding space, making it impossible for her to avoid using the shapeshift spell.
As the red halo burst out behind Dum's back, the witch gritted her teeth and simply stopped hiding.
She crushed the gem pendant that had been hanging around her neck, spread a high-level shield in a cube posture, held the black magic wand with both hands, and quickly recited a spell.
While the defense cube was shattered by the rolling magic, Hermione's magic also hit the Wizard King.
All the magical effects on Dumu's body blessing were dispersed. While the witch was hit by the super-level magic, the Hellen Skaha's method of rushing to the bottom of the box also hit Dumu.
It was the move Strange had seen before.
The move used by the heroic spirit to kill the evil spirit's tentacles in seconds, the red energy spear pierced Dumu's abdomen like an illusion, and its lethality was not strong, but the effect of this beam was bound.
The real killer gun was still held in Skaha's hand.
This is a second-stage attack.
Dum was imprisoned in the sky by the power originating from the Shadow Kingdom. The wizard king used a magic explosion to try to untie the bondage, but the light and shadow that stabbed the body was unscathed.
He knew he could not hide, so he stared at the island that had been completely smashed in front of him. The moment he saw Hermione stand up from the explosion's energy waves, Dumm sighed regretfully.
Lost.
The super-level magic just now was Dumu's ultimate kill.
He is not a god, either.
He also has his limits.
From entering the battle to now, Dum is definitely the person who has suffered the most ambush and battles. Even though he is terrible, he is already at the end of his strength in the final decisive battle.
In this short competition, Dum had almost no rest time.
Among all the contestants, Dum's performance is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one. Of course, Artorian's foul sword cannot be included.
Of course, Dumm is not the only one who is at the end of her strength. Hermione seems to have a great advantage, but maintaining the existence and battle of four heroes for a long time is also a huge burden for her. She no longer has magic gems in her hand.
Skaha was her final kill.
If Dum's attack was a little more powerful, she would lose.
But fortunately, she was lucky.
The robe was broken and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. The dusty witch held a broken wand in her hand. She looked at Dum, who was bound in the sky, and the God-killing Gun that Skaha was about to throw out the killer in the distance.
An uncontrollable joy rushed to my heart.
She finally felt relieved.
Win!
Hermione couldn't help but clench her fists. To be honest, although she had made up her mind to win before participating in the competition, it was indeed beyond her imagination to be able to get to this point.
In the end, she did not disappoint her brother and those who expected her.
After the victory or defeat was decided, on all the broken islands, Hermione seemed to have seen the throne of the Supreme Mage, only one step away from her.
However, she seemed to be relieved a little too early.
She and Dum are not the only ones involved in this decisive battle...
"surprise!"
The soft voice sounded like a lover's call, suddenly sounding behind the relaxed witch.
Holding a starlight dagger in his hand, Loki, who was emitting cold air all over his body, gracefully reached out and placed his hand on Hermione's shoulder. With the clinging of two mature and seductive bodies, the cold blade pressed against the witch's white neck.
Hermione's muscles were stiff at this moment. She screamed and stabbed the mechanical sword in her hand behind her, but Loki, who had a sneer, reacted faster.
The dagger cut through Hermione's neck in an instant.
Blood.
Warm blood erupted.
"You have sent me victory, and I will accept it without hesitation."
The female Loki watched the blood-stained Hermione fall to the ground. She raised her fingers, waved her hand at Dum in the sky, and then turned around and jumped back into the shadow.
"Shameless!"
The moment Hermione fell to the ground, Skaha felt his heroic spirit collapse rapidly.
The killing gun in her hand had already taken action and whistled at Dum, but watching Loki steal Hermione's victory, this made the always-indifferent hero unable to bear it anymore.
The moment before the body of the hero disappeared, Skaha's fingers moved outward like a heavy object in the buckle.
The red lines dancing in the vision were slightest, rubbing Dum's cheeks like a shooting meteor, stabbing at the stunned Loki.
"puff"
The next second, Loki, who had jumped into the shadow, was pierced by a red gun, just like a pierced prey, pushed out of the torn shadow.
She was stabbed on the broken island in a embarrassed manner. Where the tip of the gun landed, everything was broken and everything was destroyed.
"Bang"
The God-killing attack ended, the binding force disappeared, and Dum hit the ground in a very indecent way.
After a few seconds, he stood up and looked around.
He didn't expect that this decisive battle would end in this way.
Um?
etc...
Chapter completed!
