Magical Journey: The Other Shore Blooms on the Other Shore

"Really? You think you've got this in the bag?" Audrey stood in the very center of the ruins, her body bruised and battered, leaning against her long wand to keep herself upright.

"Heh heh, elf... I never expected that you, as an elf, would help such a weak human," Satan laughed.

“Weakness is not something you define,” Audrey said. “My teacher was also a human being.”

"Oh?"

“She taught me something,” Audrey said, raising her wand. “Never assume you’ll win in the end. There are always losers in life. We’re not winners, and at least, neither are you—”

Audrey detonated the magical bombs hidden in Beatrice since the founding of the nation. For many years, the Upper Four Guardians had been adding to these magical bombs, waiting for this day.

From the moment the war began, Audrey and her companions knew how it would end.

Faced with the vast and endless army of demons, they would be no match. Their purpose was simply to buy time and increase the chances of Angela's ultimate plan succeeding.

They won't survive to the end; none of Beatrice's people will survive to the end.

They either died at the hands of the devil, or they were wiped out by the nuclear catastrophe that engulfed everything.

"Alright, let's enjoy our final fireworks." Audrey closed her eyes.

Perhaps, in Beatrice, no one can escape this bloody hell, but Audrey is the only one with a chance. She can abandon everything and live on; no one can stop her.

Unlike Angela, she did not have to rely on the drugs produced by Beatrice to survive.

Unlike Anna and the others, they were not bound by various shackles by Beatrice and had to give their lives for this sick kingdom.

From beginning to end, she was merely an accomplice to the Flower Witch Angela and her teacher, the Fate Witch Beatrice. Perhaps, in Beatrice's eyes, only these three, who had devised all the plans, had the right to escape.

But perhaps because she was too lazy, or for some other reason, Audrey stayed with the kingdom established by her teacher until the very end.

"Teacher—be proud of me."

Explosive flames erupted from below, engulfing the entire Kingdom of Beatrice. Audrey was destroyed in the flames, along with the demons who were now reaping the fruits of their victory.

Satan is also a loser. Even if the devil wins in the end, he will have to sleep for hundreds of years before he wakes up.

Just like the great war between the demons and elves, both races were losers in the end. Who will be the ultimate winner?

Now, it is the last day for the Beatrice people.

"What is this guy going to do?" The demons around Qin were forced back by Qin. It seemed that the demons in the rift felt threatened. Even though the demons besieging Beatrice did not come to their aid, some high-ranking demons continued to pour out.

Even a fool could see that Qin wanted to destroy the Rift. If the Rift disappeared, they wouldn't be able to reach the human world anymore. That's why a continuous stream of demons poured out to buy time for their king.

Their king will need time to truly descend to earth.

After all, the rift is only so big, and the stronger the demon, the harder it is for it to pass through.

“Boy, we are the same kind. We can totally devour this world together,” the demon inside the rift said.

"Die!" Qin, who had lost her mind, didn't care about anything else.

His mind was filled with nothing but killing; Angela's catalyst was meant to drive him completely out of control and irrational. The magic sealing the rift that had been left on him activated the moment Jean approached it.

"Outrageous—" More and more powerful demons emerged.

Angela had never been to the rift; she could only simulate the situation through her imagination, granting Jean the most terrifying power to kill any obstacle.

But even the shrewd Angela probably didn't anticipate that even though most of the demons had been drawn to Beatrice and ultimately buried with the Beatrice people, the resistance from the stubborn elements emerging from the rifts could be so fierce.

The power seems inexhaustible, and the wounds on your body can heal quickly, but a person is still a person. Facing thousands of demons, demons that are only interested in stopping you, what power do you have to fight against them?

Moreover, the injuries caused by demons accumulate, and the recovery speed will eventually reach its limit. Faced with the attack of thousands of demons nourished by the magic power of the surrounding rifts and possessing the level of witch magic, even the strongest body will begin to give way.

Keep in mind that if one witch possesses city-destroying magical power, what about a thousand of them together?

It's truly a miracle that Qin has been able to persevere until now.

The horrific injuries finally brought Qin back to some of her senses; when faced with the threat of death, even the most frantic person will eventually regain their rationality.

But Qin is already caught up in the situation; having been involved in Angela's plan for so long, he has no way out. If given a free choice, he probably wouldn't back down either.

Step back, even without Angela and the others.

Where can one retreat to when faced with the threat of evil?

Beatrice will not be the only target of the demon.

“What a monster—even Satan, that simple-minded brute, would be reduced to ashes by our attack.” Some demons muttered.

"Don't stop, he's almost at his limit. Don't let him get any closer—"

Qin relentlessly vanquished one demon after another.

"boom--"

"boom--"

The heart pounded powerfully against the chest cavity under the stimulation of adrenaline.

The burning sensation throughout her body made Qin feel dizzy. Was she going to die...? She knew it...

Another wave of magic struck, and Jean's body began to sway precariously.

"Am I going to die?" Qin numbly swung her sword, using the magic enchantment on the sword to burn away all the demons she struck. Under the influence of the sudden exhaustion, her sword flew out of her hand.

"Go to hell!"

Under the final wave of light curtain attacks, Qin was blasted away and fell heavily to the ground.

"I...don't want to..." In a daze, Qin remembered the music box and threw it away heavily.

The music box suddenly began to play, and a strange magical power brought the piano back to its senses. This magic actually worked on someone like me who was immune to magic…

The piano slowly rose to its feet—before the music box movement finished playing.

He wanted to end it as soon as possible, to seal the rift, to stop the music box's sound, and to die himself.

Angela's experiment doesn't seem to be over yet. Angela doesn't know the process of the experiment, but inspired by the witch of fate, she foresaw the ending.

"This is a monster!!!" The demons also felt fear. In the past, only they could bring fear to people, but this person had truly frightened them.

Why hasn't it fallen down yet? And what is this music box?

This is outrageous! I want to report it.

"Has it finally come to this?" Angela's voice echoed in the heart of the music box, as if it had detected that the music box had been opened, and the magical message that Angela had initially left behind had been activated.

"You damned bastard," Qin cursed under her breath.

"I know you're going to yell at me. But I'm already dead, so don't waste your breath—now, let's conduct the last experiment I left behind. Jean, don't let me down."

Is it still not over?

As Angela's voice faded, the final magic circle began to revive.

"Hatred is always the most powerful force in humankind."

All the suffering she had endured in the past experiments was now being unleashed with even greater intensity. In just an instant, it consumed all of her reason.

A demon that relies on a host body is never a true demon.

In an instant, the consciousness of the druid and the consciousness of the druid merged into one. Under Angela's final magical stimulation, the first demon to be born with a fusion of human and demonic consciousness was born—a true demonization.

A normal person would explode if they went through this process, and even a monster like Jean, who has undergone special experiments, would be affected.

But thanks to Alexia's magic, the explosion did not occur.

Perhaps it had averted this devastating physical catastrophe, but the music box, as if exhausted, closed up. Strangely, the piano should have died the moment the music box stopped playing.

But now, Qin is still alive.

It was Qin's body that died; his bodily functions had completely failed.

Jean's consciousness, which should have died due to bodily necrosis, survived because it merged with the Druid's consciousness.

"Destroy everything."

This was Angela's final masterpiece, the experimental result she had been hoping for.

Under the perfect catalysis of the catalyst, it became a completely demonized killing machine that knew only how to destroy everything. She could imagine that such a harp could overcome anything it encountered in the rift—in fact, nothing in this world could stop this killing machine from wreaking havoc.
