Chương 96: Aura, are you broken?

"Aura, do you know?"

"In my hometown, there is a tradition."

"Whenever something goes well and everyone is happy, I feel like making dumplings."

Xia En stopped, looked at Aura's fearful yet confused expression, and grinned wickedly at the girl's flickering pupils.

"You've probably never eaten dumplings before."

"You know, the most important thing about whether dumplings taste good or not is the meat sauce used to make them, and whether it's chopped finely enough."

As he spoke, he smiled and patted Awula on the shoulder.

Then he stood up and looked at the vast [Undead Legion] in front of him.

These are all achievements that Aura is very proud of, and they are her most prized spoils.

That being the case.

With a thought, all the headless puppets heard Shane's command and drew their longswords, aiming them at Aura.

Immediately afterwards, Shane spoke softly and gave the order: "Chop it up."

Those two simple words, like a death knell, tolled in Aura's ears.

The demon girl shook her head frantically, tears instantly blurring her beautiful face. No, she hadn't lost, how could she have lost?

Click, click.

The sound of armor scraping against each other was getting closer to her.

Those puppets who once obeyed her now stood before her, swords raised.

She looked up angrily, wanting to rebuke them! How dare they be disrespectful to their master! How dare they stand before her! These lowly scum, mere puppets, dare to look down on her!

"Mmm--" The sound she wanted to scream was stuck in her throat because [Shane said "Shh"].

puff- The first sword fell.

Aura opened her mouth and shook her head silently.

She wanted to escape, but [Shane said "Don't move"].

Puff puff-- More and more blades fell on her.

Shaun turned around and stood in front of Frillie, blocking the elven girl's view.

He could hear the slightly dull sound of swords striking flesh, the muffled groans of Aura, and the cracking sound of bones being smashed—Shane closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and savored the beautiful, music-like sounds.

elegant.

Pleasant to the ear.

He loves dumplings the most.

I don't know how much time passed, but the sounds behind me gradually stopped.

Frilian peeked out from behind Shane. The spot where Aura had been kneeling was now empty, with only black magical particles remaining in the air.

At the same time, the immense magical power within Xia En gradually subsided.

The effect of the phrase "One Against Three" has ended.

Frillie looked up at Shane in front of her, and the madness and distortion in his eyes gradually subsided.

Coincidentally, Xia En was also looking at her.

"How about it, Frilian? Don't you think I'm awesome?"

"————" She silently breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, everything was normal.

To be honest, the "crazy" Xia En gave her a sense of fear, while the "normal" Xia En was much more approachable.

"You could actually just order her to commit suicide."

"Wouldn't that be too easy on her?"

The morning sun gradually rises at this time.

The cool morning light dispelled the heavy darkness, bringing light back to the world.

Those puppets that were once controlled by [Aura] have been freed from [Obedience Magic]. They stand in the rising sun, maintaining their final sword-wielding attack posture.

The golden sunlight shone on their battered bodies, making them look like towering monuments, proclaiming the indomitable spirit of humankind.

Xia En's voice drifted on the morning breeze, carrying a cool yet warm feeling as it swept through the mountains and forests.

"Only by enabling victims to take revenge themselves can justice not be tarnished."

These words, like a pebble dropped into a deep pool, stirred ripples in Frillie's heart.

Her dying conversation with her teacher, Vlamé, suddenly flashed into her mind—

"In the end, all I taught you were magic for fighting—"

"Are you regretting it?"

"No." Vlame shook his head.

"I'm glad to entrust these magics to you. You have a long lifespan, and one day you will be able to climb to the heights of defeating the Demon King."

"Frilian, I look forward to the day you take your revenge."

For a fleeting moment, Vlame and Shane's figures overlapped.

It turns out he wasn't simply going mad under the influence of the [entry term]; he was merely giving these indomitable warriors a chance to take revenge themselves.

He really is a reliable person.

"That is—" Behind the puppet army, a massive white bone throne, twenty or thirty meters high, stood there conspicuously and ostentatiously.

The piles of white bones, fused together with magic, were no longer recognizable as they originally were, and were still covered with dried blood and rotting flesh.

Shaen frowned. These were probably the remains of ordinary humans who had died at the hands of Aura.

They were not warriors, nor were they made into puppets by Aura; they were simply destined to be food.

After their deaths, the remains of these people were broken, twisted, and glued together by the Aura to create symbols that flaunted their power.

Demons are indeed all beasts.

Xia En looked at the throne and sighed. It had been twisted into its current form, making it impossible to separate the bones one by one.

Moreover, if the families of the deceased saw something so horrific, they would be heartbroken beyond measure.

Thinking this, he reached into the pocket at his waist and took out a bean.

【Shaping (Blue Excellent)】: Changes the material hardness of the target, making it malleable. The duration is one minute. After the duration, the material returns to its original hardness. With a thought, he concentrated his mental energy, and the 【Shaping】 attribute on the bean turned into a light blue dot of light, which landed on the 【Bone Throne】.

moment.

The throne, which was originally ferocious and terrifying, became soft and yielding in his eyes.

He controlled his mental power, as if kneading clay, burying the horrific blood and rotting flesh in the center and arranging the hard white bones on the outside, creating a square "monument".

Snapped- The white bone stele crashed down on the spot where Aura died, embedding itself deeply into the soil.

Regardless of who they were, whether soldiers or civilians, they are all unsung heroes who protect this city.

Shane and Frilian stood solemnly before the monument.

"You can rest in peace now—" The morning breeze swept through the mountains and forests.

The rustling sound was like a sob.

Just then.

Xia En suddenly shuddered.

After fighting for a day and a night, his spirits, which had been somewhat exhausted, suddenly became high and full of energy.

At the same time, he noticed that the information about himself that had remained unchanged was finally starting to change a little.
