Chapter 25 Defeat and Death
update icon Updated at 2025/5/26 0:10:12

"Are you kidding me..."

In the moment when the other person walked out of the flames, I felt a chill. Because their level instantly turned into garbled characters, and kept jumping between various strange symbols, finally becoming a row of question marks. Moreover, the last word in their title changed directly from 'Singer of Death' to 'Performer of Death'! It looks like the Shinigami just released their Bankai and played Grand Theft Auto in pure darkness! There seems to have been something wrong just now, but it's probably best not to mind it.

I saw the other person reaching their hand into the air, and a mist emerged from the black pillar behind them, as if trying to form something!

Are they going big this time?

I can't allow that to happen!

The effect of the 'Spirit of Wind' on my body has already worn off, leaving only the effects of the 'Acceleration' and 'Shadow' magic spells.

I quickly activate the 'Charge' skill, and this time I lift my greatsword and dash towards the thing formed by the black mist.

But...

I hear a mocking laugh.

Next, I feel something hitting my abdomen hard, and the next second I crash into the wall behind me!

Warning: Entering near-death state

What?

I just snapped back to my senses and see this notice. I didn't expect the other person to knock me up without seemingly doing anything, and I almost died!

In the near-death state, I cannot directly use healing spells to restore my health. I quickly drink a health potion and then use a healing spell to fully restore my health.

"Hehehe~ It seems you're quite durable! Most people would die instantly if hit by my move! Hahahaha!"

Hey hey hey, this contrast is too much. You're in the state of the murderous Miss Killjoy from Danganronpa. Did you forget to take your medication before leaving the house this morning? Don't give up on healing!

But...

The thing formed by the black mist has already taken shape, resembling a guitar, but because it's a dark mess, I can't confirm whether it's an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar...

Wait, why am I thinking about this? Does it even matter what kind of guitar it is? The other person has clearly summoned their strongest weapon and is about to use their finishing move.

But when I look at Blackte, she seems quite pleased. Hey hey hey, aren't your minions about to kill me? Are you sure it's okay... Wait, could it be because the mission hasn't been completed? Because I might die at this moment?

Well, this is a big game we're playing!

"Really, your image is completely ruined, huh? Could it be that you were kicked out of heaven and turned into a fallen angel because of this? Oh, you heavenly people~ Well~ You're even more unreasonable than me. Compared to them, I'm already very polite. Hehehe."

The other person hesitated for a moment upon hearing me mention heaven, then immediately replied.

But I can feel something different, the flames behind the other person are no longer trembling!

Could it be... Heaven... Right, light magic!

"So that's how it is!"

"?"

After saying that, I charge again!

"Hehe, no matter how many times you come..."

"Glare!"

When I was about to reach the range of her attack, I used the only light magic I have besides healing spells and removing abnormal states - Glare! At the same time, I use an ice totem to bounce myself to the side from my original position, and then I take out the blasphemer and charge again!

"Ah ah ah ah ah! My eyes!!!"

Although the other person was momentarily blinded by the glare, the ice totem behind me was still smashed to pieces with a boom, exactly at my previous position.

"Your dark magic has formed a defensive armor on your body, so magic or physical attacks that are not light-based won't have much effect on you, right?"

As I reach her side, I speak softly.

"By the way, did you know that no mirror can reflect light 100%? That means there must be some consumption... But what if it reflects in a closed environment with countless light sources? Experience it, Ice Prism Field of Light!"

Countless shards of ice instantly surround us, enclosing us like a star-shaped mask.The Ice Prism Field of Light was originally able to encase its surroundings, but after my modification using plastic magic, it was able to encase everything in all directions when encompassing a smaller area!

"Reflect, Flash Art!"

In addition to the original light in the Ice Prism Field of Light, I continuously used Flash Art at the focus of the entire space. After reflection, it would return here, which is why I rushed to Corina's side.

It was difficult for me to estimate the angle, but it would be different if I knew from the beginning that it would reflect directly.

"Ah ah ah! Impossible! This can't be Flash Art!"

"It's indeed not just Flash Art."

After using Flash Art more than a dozen times in a row, I stepped out of the field directly and took out a spherical object, removing the safety device on top.

"There's also the Light Crystal Hand Grenade."

Then I threw it in.

Boom!

The entire ice shield was directly blown into pieces! At the same time, I quickly rushed to the side of the arena and directly took the bow from Miss Snow Monster who was still staring at me in a daze.

"I'll borrow this for a bit!"

"Ah? Oh, sure..."

Then I quickly took out the sword from the armor I had kept in the ring earlier.

"Lord Hakurai, actually, isn't Corina's weapon just a cover?"

"Oh?"

Hakurai looked at me with great interest.

"Why do you say that?"

"If she really used music as a weapon, how could she be indifferent when I charged directly towards her? Instead, she kept letting me attack? And just now, after the flash, she didn't attack again... no, she probably couldn't attack anymore because I noticed that there were many holes in the surrounding walls that I hadn't noticed before. In other words..."

I placed the knight's sword on the bow, then pulled the bow to the maximum.

"She's using Eye Technique! I noticed that there was an eye in the center of her weapon when I approached earlier, although it was closed, it should have been affected by the flash. Originally, I thought it might just be a decoration, but... What if it isn't!"

I released my right hand, and the ice sword shot out directly.

"That means, that's the only tool she uses to judge her enemies! As long as I use long-range physical attacks, she won't be able to defend against my attacks anymore!"

(Magic users can sense the magic attacks from others.)

Originally, I thought using a bow wouldn't work well for me, but... I forgot that I still have the skill 'Enhancement'~

The knight's sword instantly crossed the entire field and arrived in front of Corina. At this moment, there was a hissing sound coming from her body, and the original flames had already been corroded by light magic.

In any case, I have won now, right?

But...

"You did well~ Too bad your knowledge is obviously not comprehensive enough."

I was confused about why the other person said that, and Corina suddenly reached out and directly caught my knight's sword!

Are you kidding me?

Even scarier things happened next. A black flame ignited from Corina's feet, and after one second, the flame disappeared, leaving Corina unscathed, standing in place!

"You can see through my 'Soul Technique,' I am deeply impressed. However, you should know another thing, among all the races, besides vampires and phoenixes, the recovery ability of us fallen angels is the strongest, after all, we are transformed from angels~"

Pfft!

Before I could react, I suddenly felt a pain in my chest! I turned my head and saw a bloodied knight sword sticking into the wall behind me.

"Enough with the jokes, now let me show you the difference in our strength. Even the Holy Light won't be able to save you~"

After saying that, the other person instantly appeared in front of me, then waved their right hand...

I felt my vision float upward with a wave, and then it turned into a black screen.

You are dead.
