foreigner's journey

491 The Way Forward
Won?Was this guy beaten mad by himself?
The blue-scaled dragon that Heather transformed into was only puzzled for a moment, so that he would not be shaken by his opponent's words. When the flame heat in his mouth accumulated to its peak, a huge pillar of fire that cut through the night sky completely engulfed the werewolf.

The werewolf's fur was immediately burnt until it curled and blackened, and then the flesh and bones inside were exposed. The flames scorched and incinerated the werewolf, and soon the werewolf was burned into coke, and then completely collapsed by the powerful impact of the heat. Broken into fly ash, dissolved in the endless stream of fire.

Phew...is it over?
Under the huge black cloud vortex, the blue-scaled dragon slowly coiled its hundreds-meter-long body, blood was still gushing from the right shoulder, the dragon's mouth was slightly opened and closed with high temperature and white smoke, and it was breathing heavily.

After such a long and high-intensity battle, Heather's thoughts, domineering, physical strength and even concepts are almost exhausted at this time, and he has never felt so tired before.

After releasing the concept blessing, Heather changed from the form of the blue-scaled dragon back to the human form, and the huge wound torn from the shoulder part shone with golden light, which was the healing ability of [Light Egg].It seems that the toxins injected by the teeth of the 'big bad wolf' in the body were also dispelled when it became the dragon form, and the healing ability began to work again.

The wound squirmed, and there was an unbearable itching, which had never happened in previous treatments.

Then, Heather saw the face of the little prince. More than a dozen tentacles were twisted into a spiral shape, and the meeting place at the top was the young prince's face with blond hair.

The other end of the tentacle arm is connected to the wound on his shoulder.

Heather's scalp went numb for a moment, and without thinking, she put her five fingers together to form a knife, and drew a slash with the knife, splitting the little prince's face in half.

At the moment of the split, Heather felt a piercing pain.As the little prince's face squirmed and glued together again, Heather's body also consumed a lot of energy.

A 'link' with my life?Is this also some kind of fairytale prop effect?what exactly is it!
At this time, Heather's physical strength and energy were all about to be exhausted, and while she had a splitting headache, she was still thinking about the possibility of breaking the game.

At this time, the little prince spoke, and his voice was no longer a childish voice, but gradually became similar to Heather: "Don't struggle, Heather, I admit that you are very strong, so strong that you can almost defeat me. But, you You shouldn't have touched that magic lamp."

"The magic lamp..."

Heather felt as if tens of thousands of sharp needles were poking in his head: "Have you already made a wish with the magic lamp?"

When did you make your wish... No, it should be said, what kind of wish did you make?
Needless to say, it must be because the light egg came into contact with the magic lamp. Even through indirect conduction, Heather was still unknowingly injected with a large dose of [pollution].And this effect is exactly the 'law of cause and effect' ability obtained by the little prince after making a wish with the magic lamp——

[Magic Lamp, I want to make a wish - if anyone other than me touches the body of the magic lamp in any way, give it the same pollution as me! 】

"It's the magic lamp that polluted me...and the pollution is related to you!" Heather analyzed the real situation in an instant.

"very smart."

The little prince seemed to want to smile, but he just pulled the flesh on his face and showed a strange expression:

"Originally, what I was in charge of was the concept of [Children's Fun], everything is so beautiful and pure. My partners and I traveled through countless worlds just to find that [Rose]. But greed destroyed me , and ruined my companions."

The tentacles were wriggling, and two small 'twigs' stretched out under the little prince's face, like hands.

The little prince looked at Heather, and what was reflected in his pupils was not Heather's shadow, but the vast dark nebula: "Look, greed has ruined you too. Even if you have one of the top concepts, you still will Be me and its nourishment."

Knowing that the little prince's talkativeness at this time was just delaying time, Heather still resisted the severe pain in her head and asked: "This magic lamp is by no means a product of normal formation. You... hiss... you are here somewhere With the help of a powerful force, the 'link' was created with the magic lamp in a distorted form, right!"

"Hehehe... Heather, Heather, I am amazed by your cleverness. Most outsiders only like to use brute force and concepts to run amok in the world, and they don't realize that 'wisdom' is also a very important part."

The little prince's expression at this time is obviously much more vivid than before:
"That's right, I got the help of 'He'. The magic lamp is too powerful as a 'fatal tool', I couldn't surrender it, but fell into a near-death situation. It was 'He' who saved me, and put the magic lamp and my Fate is twisted together, and the price is that the magic lamp lost most of its power as a "fatal tool", and I have fallen into almost irreversible pollution. But it is all worth it, the great "He" told me that as long as I can find A universal wishing machine similar to a magic lamp can replenish the 'life tool', and then we can make a wish to cleanse the pollution we have been polluted."

As time went by, the upper body of the little prince gradually took shape. He looked at Heather with a ferocious face, and said word by word:

"Originally you could be one of us, and I could even introduce you to 'He'. But your stubbornness led to your demise, and I also lost so many partners who shared life and death together. You know, I can't wait to send you Eat it alive, bite by bite!"

Heather panted heavily: "...In other words, you and the magic lamp are one? The kind that are tightly twisted together like Tianjin cannabis flowers and cannot be separated?"

"Of course you can understand it that way. Having said so much, you've also been sucked ninety-nine percent of your blood essence, right?"

The little prince's body is no longer that of an eight-year-old child, but has become as strong and powerful as Heather, and his voice is exactly the same as Heather: "Stop struggling...what are you laughing at?"

He frowned, and found that Heather had no regrets or fears at all, but a playful smile on his face, as if he was not the one who was sucked power.

"Do you know? I only met an old silver coin similar to yours in the last world. Do you think I will continue to stare at the clip and step on it after a loss?"

Heather suddenly stretched out her left hand and tightly strangled the little prince's neck, with a sneering smile on her face that no longer concealed:
"Sorry, dear Hugo. The winner this time... is me."

On the edge of the remote wilderness, Roxana's small body stood on a tall rock wall, raised her small hand engraved with red lines, and shouted with all her strength:
"Three ways! Command spell! Command—Ryder! Victory!!"

Heather's depleted body instantly burst out with violent power.

At this moment, Thunder Wolf Dragon, who had already defeated all his opponents, came to the big hole dug deep into the spiritual vein with his seriously injured body full of wounds, and changed into the golden thunder form by virtue of the sudden violent thoughts , and blasted his strongest blow towards the [Great Holy Grail] that was about to take shape in the deepest part of the cave——

【Thunder gossip】!
At the same time, the four light eggs that have been stained with distorted flesh and blood but can still see some radiant symbols suddenly burst into light, expelling all the flesh and blood attached to them. At the same time, they crouched on the surface of the magic lamp, shining with intense brilliance ——

[Forced downgrade]!
Heather, whose muscles were bulging all over, strangled the little prince's neck to prevent him from moving, and stared at the little prince's eyes with red eyes, and blazing laser beams shot out from his eyes, shooting straight It hit the eyes of the little prince——

【Hot Sight】!
The Great Holy Grail was completely shattered in the intense golden thunder!Disintegrated into countless magic particles and spread outwards, the entire underground spiritual veins of Melixis City were disturbed by this unprecedented outbreak of terrifying magic power, triggering further chain explosions!

The filth and blood on the surface of the magic lamp twisted, as if the demonic lamp genie was struggling and roaring for the last time.But in an incomplete state, it was not in the hands of the master, and faced with the unreasonable [forced downgrading] of the light egg, it also froze for a moment, and then the lamp body cracked and began to collapse.

At this moment, the little prince lost both the offering of the Great Holy Grail and the life link of Aladdin's magic lamp. The little prince who lost all his support is now at his weakest, and what he will face is Heather. [Hot Sight] gathered with all the power!
The fiery light immediately burned the little prince's eyes, the eye sockets were burned through, and the skull was exposed!After holding on for less than a second, the thermal vision blasted through the back of the little prince's skull, shooting his head through.

The tentacle arm slipped from the wound on Heather's right shoulder like a lifeless snake, and the little prince's waist was still twisted together with the tentacle arm, and there was almost no intact part above the neck that was strangled by Heather. Only charred bones and a little bit of coke of dry black flesh remained, and the eye sockets above the nose were completely scorched, and even the dark clouds in the night sky could be seen through the big hole in the back of the head.

Even so, he still has a little fire of life remaining, like a candle in the wind that may be extinguished at any time.

"amazing……"

The scorched black half of the skull opened and closed the jaws: "I... lost..."

Heather had already prepared for sending the Light Egg and Thunder Wolf Dragon out. What he wanted was the opportunity for the little prince to lose his body and possess him, so that he could cut off the little prince's magic power supply and life at the same time without fail. Supply, cut off its infinite resurrection ability.

This time, Heather could feel that the foreigner's fire in the opponent's body had only a little spark floating, and this time it was really coming to an end.

Heather did not let go of the hand that strangled the little prince's neck, but was ready to give him another hot look at any time: "Do you have a last word?"

"Heh... no... from the bottom of my heart..."

The edge of the withered skull began to turn into fly ash. In the little prince's voice, there was no hatred for Heather or fear of death, only the relief and a little sadness after relief:
"I have let you down... Spiral..."

Spiral?Heather frowned, and was about to ask, but felt that the hand holding the little prince's neck was loosened suddenly, and the little prince's whole body was completely turned into countless fly ash, and then disappeared between the sky and the earth.

it is finally over……

Heather let out a long breath, and flew away into the distance.

On the wilderness, there are only a few traces of red lines on the back of Roxana's hands, which is the proof that she once participated in the Holy Grail War as the 'Master'.

Reiner stood beside her, waiting anxiously.Who actually won?If Heather wins, then naturally there is no need to say much, if that weird little prince wins... Thinking of this, Reiner couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, a figure flew towards them with the sound of howling wind.

Seeing Heather, who was shirtless and lost her right arm, slowly fall from the sky, Roxana let out a scream of surprise and ran desperately towards her favorite RIDER.

Heather bent down and caught Roxana who bumped headfirst.Looking at the tearful little face in her arms, Heather touched her head with her remaining left hand, and said softly:

"Well done, as expected of my Roxana."

Roxana cried and laughed, and finally let go of her tense mind, and threw herself into Heather's arms and cried loudly.

Reiner couldn't help crying, it was too difficult, he actually lived until the end of the Holy Grail War!This grand holy grail war, like a battle between gods and demons, will be the most cherished memory in his life.

No... Thinking of the psychological shadow brought to him by the three fairy godmothers, Reiner suddenly felt that it would be good to modify and delete the memory of the Holy Grail War.

Heather touched Roxana's small head in her arms, and looked behind Reiner: "So, what about you?"

The ARCHER master Ubita, who has many injuries on his body, is standing behind Reiner at this time, looking at Heather with a slightly complicated expression.He was silent for a while, and did not ask for mercy, but asked:

"Archer, did he... die with honor?"

Heather nodded: "He died under the all-powerful blow of the son of the sun god. That is the god-killing lightning gun that even the king of the gods cannot control. ARCHER died well."

"yes……"

Ubita sighed, and touched the remaining red lines on his chest: "In the end, I didn't use a single command spell, so it's not as good as this little girl. I don't have any doubts anymore, it's up to me whether I live or die."

Heather waved her hand: "You protected Roxana and Reiner in the previous battle, right? I have always had a clear grievance, you can go."

"..."

Ubita took a deep look at Heather, turned around and walked away without hesitation.After walking not far, he stopped again and turned to look at Reiner, and took off the two wrist guards on his arms, which were the most precious magic dress of the Meastia faction [Heavenly Coffin Zero Costume].

"then!"

Throwing the wristbands to Reiner, the latter raised his head in surprise, and then hurriedly caught the two wristbands: "Eh? Eh? This, this is not the teacher's..."

"...I don't deny it. Are you Meastia's apprentice? Take this pair of wristbands and go back, and say that you killed me and took back the wristbands. Meastia will definitely not punish you again, but will greatly harm you. reward you."

This time, Ubita finally moved his neck freely, and bowed slightly to the three of them:
"Then, farewell, Clock Tower Apprentice, brave little girl, and you, the great Star Sea Prince."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and his figure quickly disappeared into the mist of the night.

Reiner clenched the wristband in his hand, and he couldn't help but ignite a little hope at this time when his future was bleak.He turned to look at Heather, only to find that there were dots of golden light on the prince of Xinghai, which was a sign that the heroic spirit was about to leave the world.

He stammered and asked: "RIDER, you, didn't you win? Why..."

"Because I didn't take the Great Holy Grail to make a wish, but directly destroyed it. In the future, there will be no more Holy Grail Wars."

Hearing Heather's words, Reiner was startled at first, and then his eyes turned red.At this moment, he no longer has any doubts about Heather's hero status, and instead of pursuing his own wishes, he chooses to end the source of all sin and death. What a great mind this is!

The dots of light on Heather's body became brighter and brighter. He touched Roxanna's small head in his arms, and finally looked at Reiner no longer with contempt or jokes, but looked directly at it seriously:
"Leiner, I will leave Roxana to you."

Reiner, with flushed eyes, nodded without hesitation: "She is my sister, and I will not let her suffer any more grievances."

"Oh...farewell, brave mortals..."

Heather looked up at the sky, and the night sky was no longer covered by black clouds, revealing a vast sea of ​​stars.

In the end, Heather turned into an infinite point of light and disappeared under the night sky.

The prince of the star sea has returned to the star sea.

Roxana looked up her little head, watched the golden light spots finally dissipate, and wiped the tears from her face vigorously.

A big hand stretched out in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, reached out to hold it.

Reiner and Roxana, two figures, one big and one small, held hands and walked slowly towards the dark wilderness in the distance.

The road ahead is still dark and unknown, but they,
Already no longer alone.
