"Uhhhhhhhh!!!"

The Immortal screamed and took two steps back. Heavy rain fell on him, emitting white steam.

Then, he exploded from the inside out—

"Bam—"

The melted bronze armor fell onto the wet deck, and the molten red light was instantly extinguished by the heavy rain and disappeared into the darkness.

After Xingmo was promoted to six-string, she learned to play "Flame Spirit Authority" in a six-string manner, thereby gaining stronger control over the flames.

The "black fire" just now was a manifestation of this qualitative change in power - it was a fireball that was concentrated to the extreme and focused on the power of "destruction", and it was the temperature of the sun.

In the past, it would have been impossible for Xing Mo to kill an "Immortal" with one blow.

"..."

Xingmo looked straight ahead. The remaining wizards seemed to have understood Xingmo's power. They were now standing in the order of the altar, apparently preparing to perform a ritual magic.

"Senior." Xingmo said softly.

As soon as the words fell, pale golden flames emerged from nowhere, enveloping them all, accompanied by the distortion of the air.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Screams echoed one after another, accompanied by a hollow cry—the words of the mourning bird.

At some point, Alice was standing on top of the ship, plucking the strings repeatedly.

At this time, Xingmo, who had activated the "Authority of the Fire Spirit", also began to play the strings repeatedly, working together with Senior Alice to complete the magic.

The two of them formed a larger altar, covering the small altars of the wizards.

A dozen seconds later, the power of the mourning bird tore open the souls of those wizards—

"Uh ah ah ah ah!"

Figures in yellow robes fell one after another onto the deck, rolling to one side along the slightly tilted hull and piling up at the side of the ship.

Alice jumped down from the top of the ship, smoothed her hair that was wet by the rain, and reunited with Xingmo.

The two of them didn't speak, but just walked forward together in silence.

Arriving at the gate of the ship's entrance, Alice raised her wand and sent a beam of fire towards the sky, signaling the "Star" to send more people to take over the deck.

Then, she and Xingmo simultaneously extended their wands and pointed them at the door.

But at this moment, black gas gushed out from the crack in the door and attacked the two of them.

"...!"

Xingmo and Alice quickly retreated and played the strings at the same time, creating sparks that rushed towards the black fog.

But the black mist instantly swallowed up the flames, and then condensed into a huge shape in the air—

——It was a tree, a twisted, hideous giant tree.

At the same time, Xingmo and Alice felt a tingling sensation on the back of their hands. They looked down and saw that the mark of the "Tree of Life" was glowing green.

The next second, the two felt a chaos in their bodies, as if something was about to explode, but was quickly suppressed by the "Tree of Life".

"It's the 'Song of Death'," Xingmo shouted, "This thing is very difficult to deal with!"

"It won't be difficult if you have help." Alice said lightly.

She plucked the strings quickly, then thrust her wand into the ground, sending a golden barrier rising from the ground.

At the same time, a dragon roar came from the black sky—

"Boom——"

Accompanied by thunder, Erlum dived at high speed, and sprayed ice-blue flames towards the "Song of Death" that had gathered into a physical form, freezing the black mist in the air.

As the dragon flew across the deck, Vivian, clad in silver armor, leaped out of the air and swung her sword at the frozen giant tree—

“‘Shatter’!”

"Shhh-"

The black fog exploded, turning into countless small dots in the air and then quickly gathered together.

Vivian didn't hesitate. She swung her sword again, dragging an icy blue light as she tore open the ship's door.

"You go catch Austin! I'll stop it!" Vivian shouted.

Xingmo and Alice didn't hesitate at all. They rushed into the gate while "Song of Death" was recovering and ran in the corridor of the ship.

Behind them, Vivian turned to look at the black mist condensing again, and blue ice flames spewed out from the gaps in the silver armor.

The ice-blue vertical pupils reflected the giant black tree - there was no mercy in the dragon's eyes, only pure killing intent.

With Vivian's body as the center, the torrential rain froze into tiny ice particles, falling on the deck with a "crackling" sound.

Vivian leaped high toward the giant tree and slashed out a violent wave of ice with her sword.

.......

"Bam—"

Xingmo and Alice pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, and were greeted by brilliant lights.

They held their wands high, and it took them several seconds to realize that this was actually a banquet hall.

The banquet hall was in ruins. The exquisite tables and chairs had been destroyed in the bombing of the "Star". Most of the remaining debris fell to one side as the ship tilted, like a garbage dump.

Instead of tables and chairs in the banquet hall, there were corpses.

Their attire varied: some resembled slaves, others resembled sailors. But the same thing was that they were gradually transforming into a black liquid.

The liquid flowed on the ground following some kind of gravity, outlining a huge altar - a string magic array.

"Welcome, welcome. As expected, there are two of you again. Should I say, honored? Or flattered?"

Xingmo looked up and saw Prince Austin standing on the platform at the end of the banquet hall, wearing a black robe and a faint smile on his face.

"Since you are here, our game can start early."

Prince Austin paced forward, wand in hand.

"In the Citadel, the White Tower protected you, preventing me from showing my true abilities."

"But now, this is the center of the ocean. Even the goddess' gaze cannot penetrate the storm."

Prince Austin sneered, and the altar unfolded from under his feet.

"Let the mark on your hands become the gateway to a new world."

......

9) Storm, Whale Song (Part 9)

The moment the altar was opened, Xing Mo suddenly realized that Prince Austin had already anticipated the current situation.

In the Citadel, even without Xingmo and Aurora's obstruction, Prince Austin's attempt to reach the gods would ultimately be suppressed by the White Tower.

All he did at that time was just acting! He had no intention of starting the sacrifice ceremony at the birthday party.

The real center of the altar is the sea!

He has gathered all the "anti-life elements" that can be collected in the academy on the "Humpback Whale", and thus has the power needed to start the ceremony!

Next, what he needed was the mark of the "Tree of Life".

Xingmo and Alice brought it to him - on the backs of their hands.

"..."

Looking at Prince Austin's arrogant and complacent look, Xing Mo frowned slightly.

She waved her wand, raised it, and pointed it at Prince Austin:

"You forgot one thing. This is the center of the ocean. You can't escape."

Hearing this, Prince Austin sneered, and the irony on his face became deeper.

"Really?" he said. "That girl named Miriam... said the same thing before she died."

The next second, the three of them waved their wands at the same time, and flames and black air collided and exploded in the banquet hall.

The smoke and dust were stirred up, and then torn apart again - Star Foam rushed forward, dragging the flaming feathers with it, and stabbed Prince Austin with the "Star Blade".

Austin drew the scimitar from his waist and accurately blocked the sharp blade swung by Xingmo, resulting in a stalemate.

Looking at Xing Mo's serious expression, Prince Austin couldn't help but chuckle:

"You know that girl named Miriam, right? Do you know what she said to me before she died? 'This is the Citadel, the Bell Keeper won't let you go.' Oh haha..."

"She actually believed you could catch me, how ironic, isn't it..."

A golden light flashed in Austin's eyes, and flames surged behind him:

"Miss Xingmo!"

The next second, Austin exerted force suddenly and pushed Xingmo several steps forward.

He controlled the raging fire to condense in front of him, and Xing Mo simply turned his wrist and made all the flames disappear.

The power of the "Flame Spirit Authority" is to control the fire string. Even Austin, as a "Saint", cannot compete with Xingmo.

Taking this opportunity, Alice swung her wand violently, and a long whip of fire burst out from the tip of the wand and lashed towards Austin.

Austin was whipped back repeatedly. Xingmo waved his wand and roaring flames gushed out from the air, instantly converging on Prince Austin's body.

"boom--"

Prince Austin exploded, but after just a few seconds, the black mist condensed him again.

Almost at the same time, he sneered:

"It's too late! The ritual was completed long before you arrived! Nothing you did can be undone!"

Before Xingmo and Alice could turn over, Prince Austin stretched out his hand and grabbed the air—

"Ahem..." "Ha..."

Xingmo and Alice suddenly felt their throats being strangled. They fell to the ground, and the spiritual power in their bodies quickly dissipated.

Prince Austin laughed and walked forward. He first walked in front of Alice and swung his scimitar cruelly.

"Click——"

A huge gash was torn in Alice's throat. A trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes, and then she fell to the ground, motionless.

After executing Alice, Austin walked up to Xingmo again, raised his wand, and pointed it at her head:

"I'll make your little brain explode like fireworks, Miss Starspray," Austin said with a smile, "You shouldn't have gone to Mortiheim, and you shouldn't have returned to the Citadel after that."

He admired the painful expression on Xingmo's face and smiled as he activated the power of the black mist.

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed something strange——

——Austin did not see his own reflection in Xingmo’s green eyes.

He looked at Alice who had just been killed and suddenly found that there was no blood under her!

This is something that is impossible to happen in reality, but Austin never realized it!

There is only one explanation, it's a dream!

Prince Austin took two steps back decisively. He waved his wand, created a spark at the tip of the wand, and then stabbed it into his heart.

The reality before him suddenly distorted, like a drowning person emerging from the water. Austin suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still standing on the platform.

Across from him, Xing Mo was holding up a clenched fist, the mark of the "Tree of Life" emitting a brilliant green light—

——From the moment she saw Prince Austin, Xingmo used the "sleeping" power in the "Tree of Life" to control him.

Austin's face became distorted for a moment. He had never been teased like this before, not to mention that the one who teased him was actually a believer of that false god!

Just as he was about to wave his wand to fight back, Xing Mo said calmly:

"Your time has come."

Only then did Austin realize that he was surrounded by pale golden flames.

He turned his head sharply and found Alice playing the fifth string for the last time—
