60. Divine Beings Clash
My words directly left Kefier stunned in front of me, but… now is not the time for you to be happy, big shot! We haven’t won yet! In fact, this is the most dangerous moment for Kefier!
In the next moment, Nilu’s figure appeared behind Kefier. Perhaps because of my presence, Nilu couldn’t unleash any earth-shattering moves, which dragged me into the situation, but the current circumstances are still critical!
【Nilu attacked Kefier!】
“Kefier, behind you!”
Seeing such dangerous content in the script, I hurriedly reminded her, but Kefier’s reaction was much more “calm” than I expected!
“…Nilu, did you hear that?”
In the next moment, Kefier turned around, and I finally understood that rather than being calm, it was more accurate to say she was composed. This even made Kefier act a bit “playful,” as she looked at the approaching Nilu with a mischievous smile.
“Are you jealous?”
“!”
This sentence was probably an absolutely intolerable provocation for Nilu. Her furious gaze transformed into the power of the blade in her hand, but this overly simplistic attack was anticipated by Kefier.
The cold wind blown by the magic sword Alsas enhanced the blade, and Kefier’s response forcefully pushed Nilu back. After stumbling a few steps, Nilu floated back quite a distance! Immediately after, Kefier swung her sword and stood up; the earlier embarrassment of being chased by Nilu had completely vanished!
“Kef·fi·er! This is not something you deserve! What are you so proud of!?”
“That’s true, but… whether I deserve it or not is not for you to decide.”
Not only that, I also vaguely sensed Kefier’s transformation at this moment! I saw that in her hand, the magic sword Alsas was naturally prominent, and even the light fairy Ikusis seemed to gradually merge into her body, occasionally revealing glimmers of light! Just now, Kefier had dispelled the black mist around Nilu’s blade in that instant, directly forcing Nilu back with a blade clash.
Could it be…
I immediately looked at the script!
【Kephir is no match for Nilu, her life is in danger!】
The death script had changed slightly, but that no longer mattered! The key was the next line!
【Having gained the power of the light fairy, Kephir is on the verge of comprehending magic!】
There was no way I could misinterpret this! Because this was the result I had been striving for in the script for Kephir! It could be summarized in one simple and clear word—level up!
Kephir would soon be able to level up! But the death script still existed, so what should I do now!? Should I just run over and kiss her!? There was no chance or time for that. If I let Kephir comprehend it on her own, she would likely not survive Nilu’s impending rage.
Suddenly, I thought of one last method!
“Ekusis!”
In the next moment herself, I shouted without hesitation, and it was at this moment I realized: even though I was the master, Ekusis could also be considered Kephir’s “treasure,” and the effect this foolish saint brought to Kephir as a treasure was not to grant her some terrifying magic or to serve as a powerful artifact, but rather…
Breakthrough!
“You’ve foreseen it, right? Quickly tell Kephir!”
As the true protagonist, Kephir certainly had limitless potential, and the script was already on the edge of a breakthrough. I might not be able to immediately level Kephir up, but… Ekusis’s “prophecy” could just trigger the hidden power within Kephir through suggestion!
【Kephir, you possess great power.】
In the next moment, Ekusis’s voice resonated around Kephir. At the same time, it seemed Nilu also sensed something, and her flamboyant movements ceased; she unleashed her full power, wanting to eliminate Kephir.
In an instant, flames spread their wings, darkness and chaos roared, and even though Kephir counterattacked, the ice and snow were easily swept away by Nilu’s robe. An enraged Nilu lunged directly at Kephir!
“Kephir!! You useless person who can only rely on him!! How long will you continue to occupy someone unworthy of you!!?”
“!”
“You shouldn’t appear before him! You shouldn’t be alive! You only deserve to bask in the so-called genius title and feel self-satisfied! I should ascend to greater heights with Oqilid!”
With heavy steps, Kephir’s expression was one of victory, showing no fear, radiating confidence.
“Unworthy? So what? I am his fiancée, what’s wrong with relying on him? Even if you envy me, it’s useless. Should I go kiss him right now?”
“Go to hell!”
Nilu swung her sword, and the fairies’ various powers converged! But at that very moment, Ekusis, who was silently reciting the “prophecy,” finally completed her role as a “treasure” to bring an opportunity to Kephir.
【You command powerful magic.】
【Your strength has risen to a new level, your control over magic has become more refined, you have gained insight, you have grown stronger!】
On that side… breakthrough level up!
【You will surely defeat the enemy before you!】
A brilliant light erupted, engulfing the entire hall! As Kephir’s figure transformed into a streak of light and undoubtedly knocked Nilu flying, the most dangerous script for Kephir finally changed!
【Kephir’s magic has leveled up to the eighth tier, matching Nilu!】
The death script vanished! Kephir’s level up altered Nilu’s death script concerning her! Finally relieved, I lay down to play dead, feeling justified as I watched the two women still standing on either side after the light faded.
Kephir was panting heavily; though somewhat disheveled, her spirit was incredibly high. On Nilu’s side, despite not having a single scar, her frowning expression indicated that she had realized she could no longer gain the upper hand over Kephir.
Here’s the translation of the excerpt you provided, with attention to word choice, phrasing, and atmosphere, while preserving the line breaks:
—
After all, the script only states “evenly matched” and not that Ke Fei’er wins. I am already quite satisfied with how far we’ve come from Ke Fei’er’s death script. Nilu’s BOSS level exceeds my expectations; I fear I will need to work even harder to find opportunities for Ke Fei’er.
“It seems there will be no conclusion tonight, Ke Fei’er.”
With a wave of her weapon, Nilu has no intention of continuing, but Ke Fei’er cannot do anything to Nilu in return.
“Is that so? I believe I have already won.”
In response to Ke Fei’er, Nilu offers a cold laugh and her figure gradually becomes “faint.”
“Ke Fei’er, our ‘war’ has already begun.”
“I will stop at nothing to obtain him, someone you are utterly unworthy of.”
“You can’t do that, nor can you stop it.”
