Chapter 73 - Chapter 73 Choice

The composite elemental orb, bursting with frost and flames, carried astonishing power. Nothing remained intact in its path. Despite such a terrifying and intimidating magic, Bai En, who was like an ant before it, fearless of danger, charged towards it like a moth.

In fact, Bai En even had an excited smile on his face.

"Magic of this level... once the Magic Conversion is complete, it will surely fill Tian Lu (Heavenly Law)." The longsword in his left hand trembled slightly, and Bai En reassured it, "I know, I know. Now, eat your fill, but you're not allowed to spit it out~"

The magic domain condensed into a small spherical area, and the characteristic of Magic Conversion expanded and was bestowed upon the magic domain.

In an instant, a large and a small sphere collided. The small sphere, like a silver stream of light, instantly pierced through the large sphere. As the two intersected, the characteristic of Magic Conversion within the magic domain transformed into Tian Lu (Heavenly Law)'s magic-absorbing characteristic.

Frost and flames were drawn by the small sphere, and a massive amount of magic power was injected into Tian Lu (Heavenly Law). The figures, one large and one small after their intersection, were like two mutually attracting flowing clouds. In just a few breaths, the giant flowing cloud was completely devoured.

Bai En landed lightly, and the form of Tian Lu (Heavenly Law) in his hand changed. The originally pitch-black sword body became pure white, and the rhomboid groove in the middle of the sword body glowed with a pure white light, illuminating the top of the scale.

He turned slightly to look behind him, and the thunder roared with furious buzzing!

Tian Lu (Heavenly Law) in his hand trembled gently again.

Bai En patted it with his hand, "What are you eating? That's allied magic. If you eat even that, aren't you afraid of bursting?"

The pure white sword body of Tian Lu (Heavenly Law) stopped its slight trembling like an obedient baby, waiting for its master's instructions with utmost docility.

Rill was happily painting with one of his favorite colors, fiery red. The brilliant sea of fire that had just been scattered across the sky filled him with inspiration. Although in this battle, facing a Demon God with maxed-out resistance, he and his magic hadn't performed much.

But as a Captain, his observational skills were still very sharp.

The fire spirit magic released by the enemy's young general was clearly the strongest in terms of attack power among the four, and had even broken through the Demon God's defense and caused damage when its magic power surged just now.

Since his own magic couldn't achieve the expected effect in terms of attack and restraint, then... he would do what needed to be done through support, in the proper way.

Painting purely in fiery red, without adding any other colors, to achieve purity and reality, the new magic "Flame Princess's Song and Dance Feast" was thus born.

A pure amplification for fire-type magic, using the Flame Princess, the fire fairy, to hold a grand song and dance banquet, bestowing the "reality" characteristic upon the flames, allowing them to break through any defense!

Fiery red flowers covered the entire pitch-black land like wild grass in the mountains. The Flame Princess danced freely behind Fana, and the strong airflow blowing from the front moved the flame flowers everywhere. The fiery red magic shimmered in the air like fireflies.

The Salamander's wings spread, and its entire body's scales became more prominent and brighter under the Flame Princess's blessing. Fana, individually amplified by the magic, received the Salamander's message.

It said... it now felt its flames could burn and consume everything!

Four lightning magic squares created an effect similar to temporal stasis. Raia used dark magic to gather the Salamander's flames. The original dark magic coiled around the flames, condensing a dark and beautiful fiery slash.

This magnificent and brilliant strike descended with the swing of the katana.

It instantly slashed onto Demon God Cerberus. The surging flames seemed capable of incinerating everything. The eerie, bronze-rust-like patterns lit up, but had no effect, burning directly on its body.

"Aow~~"

Cerberus let out an angry and powerless roar. Its three heads tried to condense composite magic again, but under the intense burning of the flames, it failed to do so.

The pitch-black fiery slash annihilated and dispersed, and the scattered flame flowers also dissipated into ashes.

The Demon God's figure scattered like a stream of light.

But... in the air, that black shadow still floated quietly. Having fallen into a brief resurrection interval, it hung over everyone's heads like the Sword of Damocles.

————

"Ah~ It's finally over."

Raia threw his katana and lay down on the ground, sprawled out. This kind of high-pressure, high-difficulty battle was the worst kind of torment for a slacker. If he could, he wanted to lie down like this forever, taking it easy, instead of... endless battles and revenge.

"But it's impossible, of course. Young Master Licht's plan is almost at its end. I still have to work hard for a while, and then I can meet everyone."

Fana walked over to Raia, who was lying on the ground. The fire spirit had already shrunk to the size of a bread and stood on her shoulder.

"Mr. Raia, the mission isn't over yet. You can't be so unmotivated~"

"Hai hai~"

Raia climbed up from the ground, looking around: "Alright~ Alright~ Where's our sealing girl? Now it's time for you to make a choice."

"Will you choose to sacrifice yourself to seal the Demon God?"

"Or... will you use these three minutes to let us prepare for escape?"

A mischievous smile appeared on his face: "I love watching these exciting moments of choice. Where did she go?"

His gaze constantly swept around, observing Rill, who was looking at the fiery red painting under the black shadow, Thor, who stood in place as if in deep thought, Bai En, who was hacking at the pure white longsword in his hand, and... Jie Kai and Gu Sen, who had just climbed out of the rubble... and the girl with crimson hair, silently walking towards the black shadow.

The opening of the brown magic book slowly made the mischievous smile on Raia's face fade. 'She didn't even think about it and already made her choice? Unhesitatingly using her life to save others... Are there really such people among humans?'

In a trance, his thoughts returned to five hundred years ago, the night the Elf Tribe was massacred. After everyone sealed their magic, Mr. Licht used a magic stone to release a magic of reincarnation for his entire clan at the cost of becoming a Demon God himself.

He must have been just like this girl back then, right?

"Sure enough, the Captains' battles are not something we can participate in. Just the aftermath almost buried us alive." Gu Sen muttered that he would never come to this dreadful place again, nor would he go on missions with the Captains.

Just as he was wondering why Jie Kai, who had also just emerged from the rubble, hadn't said a word, he noticed his companion staring ahead.

"What is it? Looking so intently? Is there a beauty?"

The next second, he also looked in Jie Kai's direction. It was a beauty, but in just an instant, the expression on his face visibly changed. Gu Sen climbed out of the rubble and ran frantically towards Nancy.

Jie Kai also understood Gu Sen's meaning, and the two followed one after another.

"Miss Nancy, Miss Nancy... Oh dear, what are you doing? Don't be in such a hurry? The sealing magic that guy mentioned isn't necessarily the only way, right? Let's wait first."

"That's right, maybe Captain Rill and Vice Captain Thor have other methods? Don't you think so? Captain Rill, Vice Captain Thor?" Gu Sen spoke loudly. As a father with a daughter, he knew very well... she was also someone else's daughter.

A father's choice will always lean towards his daughter.

Rill pouted and thought seriously: "If sealing magic is needed, let me draw one. Maybe it will be very effective, and sealing the Demon God will be no problem?"

Thor was about to step forward but was stopped by Raia.

"What, everyone? Do you want all our hard work to be in vain? Think about what will happen after the Demon God resurrects? First, kill everyone present, then slaughter the Dwarf Clan, open the gate of the underworld, let demons descend into the present world, and destroy everything in this world."

"Your relatives and friends will all die at the hands of demons!"

He looked directly into Thor's golden eyes, "Is this what you wish to happen? Now... as long as she completes the sealing magic, no demons will descend, and everyone will be safe and sound."

Let me light another fire for you, and see your disgusting faces beneath your hypocrisy.

Before he could finish his thoughts, Raia was grabbed by the collar. Jie Kai's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled slightly: "Even if what you say is true... can't we find someone else? She's still a child... Replace me, I already have a daughter..."

"Is something chosen by heaven something you and I can decide?"

"You bastard..."

"Enough!" Nancy suddenly shouted loudly. Her head, which had been bowed, suddenly lifted. A smile appeared on her face, yet for some reason, it gave a feeling of extreme sadness: "Thank you for taking care of me all this time. I was very happy to join Aqua Deer. I hope... everyone will take good care of themselves in the future."

"Be happy."

After speaking, she turned and continued to walk forward, magic power surging from her body, until she passed Bai En.

"You don't have to do this. You must still have dreams, right? Living is wonderful."

Nancy did not answer Bai En's words. Instead, she bowed to Bai En: "I've been freeloading on your dinners all this time, but I never thanked you. I'm truly sorry."

"It's a bit of a pity to think that I won't be able to eat your food anymore..."

"However... this should be the best choice right now... and it's my choice. Goodbye, Mr. Bai En."
