The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

"......"

Xingmo clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Alice let out a trembling breath and whispered:

"Come back to the Xinghai Church with me. No matter what that evil god did to you, we will heal you."

"She didn't do anything to me," Xingmo shook her head, "it's just..."

"So you are doing this willingly?" Alice's voice suddenly turned cold.

Xing Mo was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"She...she's different from the evil god you imagined. Aurora—"

"enough!"

Alice roared, and pale golden flames ignited in her eyes.

"You have been bewitched! Bewitched by the evil god! If you are innocent, then come back with me! Otherwise..."

Alice's wand once again emitted sparks, and at the same time, pale golden flames burst out from the air.

Hearing this, Xingmo closed his eyes in pain.

After a brief silence, she spoke:

"Senior, please listen to my explanation..."

The next second, a golden fireball rushed towards him, and Xing Mo immediately waved his staff to block it.

"boom--"

When the fireball exploded and the flames dissipated, the entire room was covered with a faint golden light, isolating it from the outside world.

"Senior sister!" Xingmo shouted.

"You've been lying to me from the very beginning," Alice walked over. "The Xiaomo I know would never lie to me."

She swung her staff again, and flames like phoenix tail feathers floated in the air, then instantly became narrow and long, stabbing towards Xingmo.

Xingmo rolled continuously, the flames hit the barrier on the wall, and the scorching wind almost made Xingmo fall.

"Senior! Listen to my explanation! Things are not what you think!" Xing Mo still did not play the strings, but just shouted.

Hearing this, Alice's eyes seemed to hesitate for a moment, but soon became firm again:

"No, you're stalling for time! You're waiting for that evil god to come back!"

Alice bit her lip. Xingmo had never seen her in so much pain:

"Come back with me...Xiaomo...Come back with me!"

The next second, Alice grabbed at the air with her bare hands, and a shadow condensed at the tip of her wand, emitting dim ripples—

——Four-string magic, a peaceful night.

When Xingmo was touched by the ripples, his head went dark and he almost fell into a deep sleep.

But she suddenly clenched her right fist, and the mark of the Tree of Life appeared on the back of her hand. The dormant power appeared, and her vision became clear again.

"Senior sister!" Xingmo shouted for the last time.

No, a large-scale battle cannot break out. If Aurora sees the senior when she returns, she doesn't know what she will do.

Senior Alice is the bell guardian of the Xinghai Church. Aurora will never let her walk out alive after knowing the truth.

Then there is only one solution left - to subdue Alice-senpai first.

"Feel sorry..."

Xingmo gritted her teeth, and the moment Alice waved her wand again, she also waved her wand.

Both of them played the strings in the air like elegant performers, and sparks collided in the air, exploding into dazzling sparks.

Both of them are Fire String affinity, both are Five Strings, and even their talents are in very similar areas.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

As the scattered sparks splashed on the ground, Alice's spiritual power began to gradually dry up, while Xingmo's spiritual power continued to flow.

At the moment of a certain collision, Alice's spark was swallowed by Xingmo's——

"Om-"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xingmo snapped his fingers, and his body was instantly covered by feathers of blazing fire, and he rushed towards Alice.

She condensed a golden light on her wand and stabbed it towards Alice—

"call--"

Alice waved her wand and a wall of fire surged out, stopping Xingmo.

The red-haired witch's eyes turned, and the wall of fire turned from red to icy blue. She took two steps forward and stepped into the ice flame.

"Om-"

The moment the ice flame dissipated, Xing Mo found that Alice had disappeared. At this moment, a whistling sound came from behind her -

"boom--"

Xingmo dodged and avoided the wand that Alice stabbed from behind.

She took advantage of the situation and grabbed Alice's wrist. The Tree of Life mark on the back of her hand suddenly lit up.

“Gu…!”

Alice's eyes suddenly became blurred, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton.

Through contact, Xingmo used some of his dormant authority to act on Alice. She——

——Since Xingmo can only use part of the authority, she cannot make Alice, who has powerful spiritual power, fall into a deep sleep through the air. Physical contact is required.

"..."

Seeing Alice's eyelids gradually drooping, Xingmo gritted his teeth and prepared to knock her out.

But at this moment, Alice's nearly exhausted spiritual power suddenly gushed out -

"boom--"

Xingmo was blown half a step away. When he raised his head, the golden light in Alice's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The senior was exhausted and looked like she would collapse at any moment, but she still stood there, looking all alone.

She released her protection of the star stream vision and desperately absorbed her last bit of spiritual energy like a drowning person, just to stay standing.

"Xiaomo... come with me... please..."

Alice pleaded in a voice that was almost tearful, her vision gradually blurring.

Through the haze, she saw the table behind Xingmo - on it was a photo frame containing a group photo of Xingmo, Alice, and Miriam.

"I..."

Alice's eyes flickered, and her sight was framed by Xing Mo in front of her and the mark of the Tree of Life on the back of her hand.

Her eyes became dim again:

"I'm so stupid... What if this is what you want... What if you just... don't want to come back..."

"Senior..." Xingmo's voice became hoarse.

The next second, Alice bit her lip and raised her wand tremblingly.

"Xingmo! I'm the Bell Keeper! The protector of the Citadel!"

"If you insist on betraying me, then I can only..."

The next second, the two of them waved their wands almost at the same time. Alice's wand tip sprayed out a column of fire, while Xingmo used a golden barrier to block it.

The flames splashed onto the floor and furniture, setting off streaks of flame...

...etc!

Xingmo suddenly realized that the senior had lifted the star stream vision, which meant that the room was no longer protected.

She turned around suddenly and saw that the flames had already burned the table behind her, almost burning the photo of the three of them.

Against the backdrop of the fire, the three people in the photo looked so happy and cheerful.

7) Red Epiphyllum (Part 13) -3k-

Do not!

no!

Xingmo removed the barrier without hesitation, then turned and rushed towards the table.

She could feel the flames kissing her back, she could feel her clothes being torn apart by the flames, the flames licking her back.

But even so, she resolutely opened her arms and held the photo in her arms:

"Senior Alice!" Xing Mo cried, "No!"

Don't ruin that memory.

Don't ruin that memory.

Don't ruin that memory.

Xingmo recalled that sunny afternoon when she was dragged to the back garden of the college after class, and Alice and Miriam pressed her on a bench.

"Senior...Milliam...stop making trouble...there are so many people..."

"Hahaha, don't be shy, Xiaomo is very suitable for braiding hair."

"Yes, yes, come on, first try the twintails, then try my favorite bun..."

"Oh my, you guys are really..."

Xingmo sat there awkwardly, head down, blushing as Miriam and Alice toyed with her. The sun was shining brightly that day, and the spring breeze blew up the March magnolias, sending pure white petals dancing across the sky, freely painting the vibrant spring scene.

In the distance, Professor Lucius was holding a film camera among the flowers, smiling as he pressed the shutter button at the three people playing and joking.

That moment was frozen forever and sealed in the photo frame.

Don't ruin that memory.

I didn't betray, I didn't betray!

It's just... I am the only one who walks into the abyss...

"..."

Xing Mo hugged the photo frame tightly and slumped to the ground.

Before she knew it, she was already in tears and her delicate body was shaking constantly.

Meanwhile, the fire had died down.

Alice walked with staggering steps behind Xingmo and looked at her blankly.

Her back looks very much like that familiar kitten.

Yes, she is still that lonely little cat. She lives alone, cooks alone, and watches the sunset alone by the window.

Then she walked alone into the wild wind of Mortiheim and fell alone in the wind and snow.

Now, she returned to the Citadel alone, guarding everything alone.

She has always been herself, lonely herself.

How could I doubt her?

"..."

Alice raised her wand, pointed it at Xingmo's back, and then lowered it slightly.

The wand fell to the ground, Alice squatted down, slowly hugged Xingmo from the back, and held her in her arms.

"Idiot..." Alice whispered in Xingmo's ear, "Do you hate me so much? You didn't even tell me you were still alive..."

"I don't want to involve you..." Xing Mo said with a sob, "I am alone... That's enough..."

"Fool..."
