81. The hour has come!
The “main storyline” within the script; the “bloodline” that can counter the elven saints; and… the timing for this bloodline to manifest its effect… all of it has converged.
Is it a miracle created by my accidental strokes of luck, or is it the inevitable fate brought by the “aura” of the two protagonists in the script? I am not inclined to think too much about it now; all the “elements” have gathered, and this moment is when we break the death script.
With Lin Ke’s presence, even deep within the judgment realm of the pure white nun Urasilu, Kefier and Nilu still have the strength to fight, even if soon, the other white-haired elf—Sword Saint Ludwig—unleashes her domain, transforming into that “Frankenstein” appearance. Realizing that this might be one of our few “opportunities,” the two women showed no hesitation.
They straightened their postures and prepared to face the domains of the two elven saints.
In an instant, the dim night sky was filled with intertwining shadows and light, dazzling to behold. But… I shouldn’t be standing in the front row VIP seat enjoying the special effects. The powers of the two elven saints’ domains have been unleashed; who knows what the “result” will be? Even if I cannot personally assist Nilu and Kefier, at the very least, I need to know!
[Kefier and Nilu are battling the elven saints.]
However, at this moment, the script is quite ordinary, not revealing who holds the advantage, nor presenting any shocking dangers that Kefier or Nilu might encounter.
Does this content imply that this battle will end abruptly? Just as I was still in doubt, the emergence of the next script immediately threw me off balance!
Tonight is about to pass.
It’s a phrase that sounds like it belongs in a child’s diary, but it’s appearing at this critical moment! And I haven’t even had time to figure out what it means! The strange occurrence on Kefir and Niro’s side is distracting me again!
“Wait!”
“Trying to escape!?”
The two white-haired elves, who had already activated their domain powers and were fighting Kefir and Niro, suddenly stopped and retreated, ending the intense and “predictable” battle that was unfolding before my eyes. The two elves reunited once more.
As for the elf nun, Uralisiru, she reacted in a way that left me bewildered: she calmly gazed up at the night sky, where only a full moon hung.
“Rudolf, I think we’ve got the order wrong. Perhaps we don’t need to rush.”
What is she looking at? Is she trying to strike a pose under the moonlight? The only thing that comes to mind when I think of the moon, or rather, the night…
Uralisiru is waiting for time to pass.
Time! She’s waiting for time! And the earlier phrase in the script, which seemed so mundane, told me: tonight, “today” is about to pass! Could something happen when the second day begins?
“Mr. Euklid, our initial purpose for appearing tonight did not include ‘judging’ you. So, we hope you can call off your companions. Our goal is simply to find and judge the bloodline.”
Hmph, don’t try to save face by saying you can’t win!
I wanted to retort, but… the “composure” in the eyes of the two elves in front of me sent a shiver down my spine. If they really target Liko now, we wouldn’t stand a chance! And yet, they don’t seem to be planning to take action…
What does the “time” in the script represent?
The next moment.
The sound of a clock tower, signaling the end of one day and the beginning of another, came from the direction of Liko’s residence. However, as the dull, slow sound echoed through the air, new content appeared in the script!
Time’s up
Eruhiru is…
The script’s content abruptly stopped, and I instinctively turned around, only to discover…
For a moment, the dazed appearance of this elven sorceress appeared before my eyes. However, after that, she seemed to transform into a different person, her gaze slightly lost, and then… as it fell upon Lin Ke, it gradually turned cold.
Accompanied by the emergence of a new script!
【Ilu Xier attacked the ‘Bloodline’】
In the next moment, despite having just said “temporary hire,” Ilu Xier, who chose to stand against the two elven saints to protect Lin Ke, suddenly turned against us without warning! At that moment, which none of us could have anticipated, her short sword pierced through Lin Ke, who was completely unaware of the danger, in the blink of an eye, leaving her chilled to the bone!
I certainly knew what would happen to an ordinary person struck by this elven weapon! In just a brief moment, one could go from being a living person to a specimen! Fortunately, I reacted immediately through the script. Although I couldn’t prevent the blade from piercing Lin Ke’s body, at the same time, I used the fairy’s power to shatter the chain connected to the blade with a swipe!
Then, as I immediately held Lin Ke, who was about to collapse, Ke Fei Er and Ni Lu also reacted! Without bothering to ask more questions, they immediately regarded Ilu Xier as an enemy. Unfortunately, this elven sorceress had already slipped to the side of her two elven sisters.
Was this her plan to betray us from the very beginning!? Absolutely impossible! To confirm that Ilu Xier had no strange intentions, I had been constantly checking her thoughts through the script! Clearly, until just now, this elven sorceress’s stance was on our side; why did it seem like her thoughts changed in an instant, suddenly attacking us!?
And this question seemed to be answered the moment Ilu Xier smiled and casually greeted the two white-haired elves.
“Good morning… sister.”
“Welcome back…”
Compared to the not-so-happy responses of the two white-haired elves, I immediately spoke up!
“Ilu Xier! You… will forget what happened before!?”
“Eh? Well, that’s not wrong, but…”
She tilted her head, looking at me in confusion.
What she said was completely illogical.
“Who are you? Aren’t you a bit too familiar? We… just met, right?”
【Ilu Xier did not lie.】
As the script appeared, my doubts turned into certainty!
Ilu Xier’s “before and after contrast” was the result of the reminders about “time” that had subtly appeared in the script just moments ago, even before!
This elven girl had forgotten everything that happened before… yesterday!
