Chapter 181: Bluefire Burns the Moon, Blood Dyes the Royal City – Fifteen

Boom—

The crimson currents surged, flames curled, and with a mad heat, they instantly devoured everything in sight.

In the instant the scorching waves hit, I tightly shut my eyes.

“Ah—!!!”

A hoarse scream echoed by my ear, faint yet distinct; I knew it was my own cry.

At this moment, I nearly exhausted all my remaining strength, desperately activating the frost mist to envelop both Victoria and myself.

The fiery currents roared, pressing against the frost mist, making it sway and almost dissipate.

I clearly felt that the ice order I could summon was weaker than before.

But the order power within me was still abundant…just use a bit more force…Silviega…what’s wrong with you…give it your all!

My teeth bit into my tongue, drawing blood, the salty taste spreading in my mouth.

My body rapidly sank into the sea of fire, the wind slicing like knives mixed with the sound of burning flames, howling wildly in my ears…Victoria must be giving her all too.

Swoosh…pfft—

Suddenly, I felt a chill all over, followed by a surge of joy as I realized we had escaped from the flames.

I immediately stopped using the frost mist and opened my eyes—only to see the monster’s huge head and grotesque facial bones flash before me, its blazing claws raised high, roaring down at us from above.

My heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.

“Victor—”

Bam—!

In the instant the immense force struck, darkness engulfed my vision, my mind filled with a buzzing sound, as if my soul had left my body, unable to feel anything.

There was no pain, no heat.

I only knew that I was rapidly falling, falling very fast…

I could only curl up my body, hold my head with both hands, and hold my breath—

Thud!

My body collided solidly with the hard ground. My buttocks landed first, followed by my entire back and head, bouncing off and then falling again.

“Cough!”

My breath was caught.

I felt as if every bone in my body was about to shatter.

“Guh…”

I trembled, emitting a weak groan, opening my mouth wide, trying desperately to regain my breath.

Tinnitus mixed with dizziness, blending with the faint cries around me, merging into my mind, making it impossible to distinguish reality from illusion.

My headache worsened.

“Cough—”

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and my breathing slowly returned to normal. I lay on my back, gasping for air, slowly turning my head towards the direction where Victoria fell.

She seemed to have been struck far away, hitting the top of a distant church…the light was dim, making it hard to see clearly.

Faint figures ran back and forth in front of me, screaming loudly.

I shook my head incessantly, trying to stay awake, gradually feeling the state of my body.

My back was numb with pain, but my bones were not broken.

The fall wasn’t high, but the monster’s claw strike was powerful…that blow directly hit Victoria’s back, causing her to bear the brunt of the damage.

Is she okay…

I struggled to get up, but my limbs were somewhat unresponsive, my vision blurring…these discomforts became insignificant in the growing hunger.

…Silviega, stay awake.

Don’t let yourself be defeated.

If you do, all the effort made so far will be in vain, losing its meaning.

From here, the city wall can already be seen…perhaps…a few hundred meters away…just a little more…it will be fine.

If Victoria loses her ability to move…then I’ll take over, lure it…

I slowly steadied myself, staggering towards the direction of the city wall. After a few steps, my body started to itch, and my limbs gradually coordinated.

I must…I need to move faster…

I have to…get out of the city…yes, get out of the city…

“Roar—”

The monster above roared, poised to charge down.

Swish—

Someone landed beside me. I raised my dazed eyes to look.

“Victoria…”

It’s great, she’s…okay…

She isn’t okay.

Victoria’s left arm was twisted at a bizarre angle, her dress full of holes and scorched black. A large red stain had spread across her side, blood dripping down her thigh. Her delicate face was pale, with large beads of cold sweat streaming down.

She was heavily injured.

Even so, she maintained that unshakable demeanor. Standing straight in front of me, her indifferent gaze became even more striking, filled with indescribable cold pride and defiance.

Suddenly, golden light rained down from the sky.

That…

“Cough, cough. Get away, leave this place, go to the parish—!”

The shaky voice of an old man echoed through the golden light, reverberating throughout the kingdom.

Immediately after, countless azure electric arcs flashed out from the walls of buildings across the street and from beneath the ground.

It looked as if someone was tearing apart lightning. Bright electric arcs converged at a point across the street, stirring up the air and forming terrifying blue light arcs that illuminated the night within a hundred meters, casting a blinding light on the monster above.

A loud thunderclap followed.

Boom—!!!

Crackling…

“Roar—”

The monster’s figure flickered in and out of the light, struggling nonstop.

Who is it… That voice… Familiar… Opening ceremony… Grandma Bertha.

My disoriented mind took two seconds to suddenly recall the owner of that voice—the elderly, frail headmistress.

She has arrived.

“What a mess… You fools… Cough, cough, gag! This damned body… Little Vicky! Sylvie! Lure it out of the city and kill it outside!

I can’t see where she’s shouting from, but Victoria turned her gaze back to me upon hearing this.

“Can you still hold on?” she asked.

“I can… And you?”

Victoria did not answer my question.

She lifted her head to look at the monster, which was being struck by lightning and constantly roaring in the sky. She said to me, “Go out of the city first.”

“And you…”

“I’ll send it out of the city, I’ll be there shortly.”

“…Alright.”

There was no hesitation.

I couldn’t last much longer, my headache was severe… Whether or not the monster leaves the city, I know I must go out now.

Otherwise, I might turn into the second monster.

I shook my head vigorously, opened my mouth to tell Victoria: If I become strange, please try your best to kill me.

…No.

Why should I say this… Why should I be killed…

I…

I must go out.

I started walking.
