75. I Will Return Like Lightning
In the snowy plains of Siberia at night, a bright crescent moon is undoubtedly the first choice for “high society and romance,” but the beams of moonlight that seemed to flow down, bathing the fairy before me, were also as dangerous as a raging torrent.
After all…
【The enraged Moon Fairy killed Euclid.】
This script had been around for a long time. Clearly, with the ability to “insight into the human heart,” I should have known what she thought and saw in my heart, yet the Moon Fairy, whom I originally thought would quickly “understand who I am,” was now unreservedly revealing her old hag nature to me: stubborn and obstinate, intent on putting me to death because she “saw” the order given to her by the Order Fairy.
For various reasons, I still couldn’t directly “change,” which naturally led to the current situation—me and the Moon Fairy playing a game of “you guess while I watch” in the torrent of moonlight flowing down, just like the scene when I first truly met this fairy.
However, there were also some similarities. For example…
“You… Hmph, you charlatan playing tricks, I want to see just how long your luck can last!”
This time, the Moon Fairy was almost fully unleashed, intent on putting me to death, rather than having the mindset of “toying with me,” while watching my thoughts and enjoying my awkwardness after I guessed wrong.
And…
“Miss Iris, can’t you see how long my ‘script’ and ‘luck’ can last?”
As she said, I, who had been able to “luckily” dodge her beautiful yet deadly torrents of moonlight each time, was now completely different from the last time I was in a predicament.
“I can see your trickster ‘abilities,’ Euclid, you are nothing but a useless waste who can’t do anything!”
I don’t know if my words had “angered” her, or if she had finally given up on trying to defeat me with “language,” but instead, she was seriously planning to “kill” me. After once again suffering a setback from me, the fairy before me waved her hand and floated back into the air.
“You are merely relying on your so-called ‘script’ to predict my actions, which has turned into your so-called ‘prophecy.’ The future of the Great Ying Empire will not be manipulated by a charlatan like you.”
I saw: the umbrella in her hand transformed into a magic wand, and as she swung it down towards me…
The moonlight filled the sky, as if igniting a star in the night!
“This time, I will make it so you can’t even rely on ‘luck’!”
“……”
I… could only watch as the moonlight, which almost illuminated the entire night sky, gradually became brighter in the cold hues, as if it were about to pour down upon me in a deluge, swallowing me whole. The power of the self -disciplined fairy was certainly not a falsehood; even though this moon fairy’s more powerful ability lay in “insight into the human heart,” when it came to “combat,” me wanting to “die” was no different from squashing an ant.
After all, in her eyes: I was relying on the script to foresee danger and evade it in advance. Naturally, she also knew well: if her strength reached a certain level, making it so that even if I saw the script, I would have nowhere to hide, then I would be left waiting for death like a small fish.
In the next moment, I clearly saw the moon fairy suspended in mid-air, swinging her hand down towards me!
At the same time, the script and Kephiel’s voice came together!
【Euclid was killed by the moon fairy.】
“You lost, Euclid.”
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, as Kephiel whispered in my ear, “Although I don’t know what you’re stalling for, if you keep ‘watching’ like this, without changing the fact that this fairy is recklessly challenging ‘order ,’ you really will die~”
“Or have you finally grown tired of the game of ‘saving such humble beings’ and want to come to my side?”
She… tightened her grip on my hand, looking at the torrent of moonlight flowing down: “If you still want to ‘change,’ then use my power, and let this pitiful fairy see what a true ‘script’ is, proving to this frog at the bottom of the well with absolute ‘facts’ what kind of power we truly possess~”
“Isn’t it frustrating to just silently endure? You are a miracle within order, you are the master of order, you shouldn’t have to be so humbly silent. Come on, Euclid, let’s prove to her what ‘God’ is ~”
The “script” had indeed changed from what the moon fairy could currently “see.” Even though she could perceive the human heart, just as Kephiel said, I now had many, many ways to make the death script facing the fairy before me disappear immediately.
But…
I waved away most of Kephiel’s “body,” and my gaze did not intend to glance aside, but instead focused on the distant night, where some vague, undulating shapes were increasingly approaching.
Then I smiled and looked at the order fairy beside me.
“Kephir, I mentioned there was a third answer. By the way, it’s not me who lost.”
It’s you who lost.
“!”
Kephir’s body vanished, and at the same time, the time that had just momentarily stagnated returned to normal! In my line of sight, it seemed to truly flow from beneath the crescent moon, transforming into a torrent of blades and light that “sprayed” towards me and everything around me, carrying a threat that I could almost “see,” beginning to “flow” under the movements of the moon’s fairy.
If I did nothing, I could imagine that it would be impossible to survive under this “barrage,” and I would only meet the death script that had just appeared.
But…
I now had another “helper,” not Ludwig who wasn’t here, but… the one who had just appeared and had already… made Kephir retreat.
“Zhou Si! Bring that woman down from the sky for this Emperor! Floating up there acting all high and mighty, thinking she’s a lightning rod, huh?!”
In the snowy night, a white figure leaped up surrounded by golden lightning, and the roaring lightning that followed covered and isolated half the sky, violently and wildly devouring all the moonlight that shot towards me, and even… brought down a heavenly thunder that directly “struck” the moon’s fairy hanging in mid-air!
Ivan Letty, the Emperor of the Rosian Empire, had indeed come knocking! She had already received intelligence from the passerby, and now knew my identity, but even so, at this moment, I had no intention of “escaping” at all.
Because…
I had finally awaited what I wanted to “wait for” in the Rosian Empire, and I was relieved that I hadn’t acted to “change” everything here just now. Because…
【The ‘command’ on Ivan Letty disappears.】
The script is such that the “command” she had given herself is gone, and she finally “remembers” just like the previous queen!
