Chapter 79: Scepter Liberation【mory Corridor】
l instinctively looked towards Charlotte, but found her expression unusually calm.
"These restrictions have range limitations," Charlotte said.
"Once you step outside the boundaries of this main hall, these rules cannot take effect."
The mont Charlotte's words fell, Edward's gaze sharply turned towards her.
He slightly narrowed his eyes, and a aningful smile curved his lips.
"A clever observation, Charlotte," Edward slowly said.
"Then run; you'll have to return here sooner or later anyway."
Seeing that Edward didn't seem to intend to forcibly keep anyone, everyone exchanged glances and then promptly retreated from the main hall.
As the main hall doors slowly closed, the golden shackles of the edicts also disappeared.
To conserve Quintessence, Victoria would not activate the Scepter when no one was around.
The heavy, oppressive atmosphere finally lessened considerably after retreating into the corridor.
The remaining three groups each stood in a corner, observing one another.
"l, do you rember our agreent?"
Isabella suddenly spoke, trying to get l to stand by her side, but l didn't move an inch.
"A collaboration, Charlotte?"
Helena called out Charlotte's na.
"Compared to the aggressive elder sister, I haven't really given you much trouble, have I?"
"Helena, what are you saying!"
Emily glared at Helena furiously.
"Do you think she'll let you off after she kills ?!"
"At least I can appreciate your exasperated ugliness before I die; it would be worth the price of admission, wouldn't it?"
Helena smiled.
Charlotte and l exchanged a look, and tacitly retreated a few steps backward.
"What do you think, lantha?"
Charlotte asked.
"You decide."
Hearing this, l was silent for a mont, her gaze wandering between the two sides.
"Helena, let's cooperate and kill this damn illegitimate daughter first, how about it?"
Just then, Emily suddenly spoke, offering Helena an alliance.
However, Helena rely smiled contemptuously, then pointed to Sebastian beside her.
"If you can convince Mr. Sebastian to cooperate with Miss Isabella, then I have no objection."
Hearing this, Emily was imdiately delighted, then directed her gaze towards Sebastian.
However, Sebastian rely spoke coldly: "Don't even think about it."
"You damned—" Emily angrily cursed, then looked at l.
"What about you? You are a Knowledge faithful. Aren't you going to cooperate with us? Are you going to cooperate with that damned Red Moon faithful?"
Hearing this, l didn't look at Emily, but exchanged a glance with Isabella.
Then, she turned to look at Mr. Sebastian.
"Cooperation?"
"Why should I?"
Sebastian sneered.
l did not answer, but silently raised her hand.
The crescent moon mark was faintly visible on the back of her right hand.
Seeing this, the smile on Sebastian's face froze, and then he gave l a aningful look.
"No sneak attacks against each other before the two of them are out of the picture."
Hearing this, l nodded.
"I swear by the Red Moon—"
l drew a crescent moon on her chest.
"I swear by the Red Moon—"
Sebastian also drew a crescent moon on his chest.
The next mont, both of them simultaneously looked at Isabella and Emily.
Isabella's face was filled with anger and disbelief.
Her eyes behind her glasses stared intensely at l, as if she wished to devour her alive.
"You damned liar!"
No sooner had the words fallen than l and Sebastian had already closed in to kill.
The New Moon rose in l's hand, and Sebastian likewise held a blood-colored blade.
The two attacked Isabella together, while Charlotte moved to attack Emily at the sa mont.
The raven followed beside Charlotte, closely pursuing the fleeing Emily.
l and Sebastian were like two flashes of lightning, instantly closing in on Isabella.
The New Moon's cold light cut an elegant arc in the air, aid directly at Isabella's throat.
At the sa ti, Sebastian's blood-colored blade was like a venomous snake striking, targeting Isabella's heart.
Isabella's reaction, however, was surprisingly swift.
Her body abruptly leaned backward, as if she had already foreseen the trajectory of their attacks.
Imdiately following, Isabella raised her hand, and a Scepter assembled from countless mirror fragnts materialized in her grip.
—Scepter Liberation【mory Corridor】!
The windows in the corridor shattered at this mont, and countless exploding shards of glass solidified in the air, reflecting everyone's posture.
Isabella raised her hand and summoned mirror fragnts, which re-ford in her hand into a weapon identical to the long sword in Sebastian's hand.
"Clang!"
The mirror blade and the blood blade collided, erupting in a grating noise like tal friction.
Isabella's movents were as if perfected through a thousand refinents, perfectly replicating the essence of Sebastian's swordsmanship.
At the sa ti, her left hand grabbed a piece of mirror surface from the air, effortlessly blocking l's The New Moon.
l frowned, calmly observing Isabella's movents.
She noticed that every one of Isabella's actions carried an eerie sense of familiarity, as if they were composed of moves seen sowhere before.
Isabella's mirror blade cut an elegant arc in the air, aid directly at Sebastian's throat.
This move was exactly the sa as Sebastian's attack just monts before.
A hint of surprise flashed in Sebastian's eyes.
He quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
"Did you think only you Red Moon Shepherds know how to fight?"
Isabella sneered.
Before the words were finished, Isabella suddenly turned and launched a fierce kick directly at l's chin.
Although l was prepared, the sudden attack still forced her to retreat repeatedly.
Seeing this, Sebastian imdiately pressed forward, his blood blade like a snake darting its tongue, stabbing straight toward Isabella's back.
However, Isabella seed to have eyes in the back of her head, not retreating but advancing slightly.
She shifted her body slightly, perfectly evading the fatal blow.
"Clang!"
The mirror blade and the blood blade collided again, emitting a grating tallic friction sound.
l took the opportunity to move behind Isabella.
The New Moon, like a new crescent moon, sliced through the air, aid directly at the back of Isabella's neck.
However, Isabella's reaction speed was astonishingly fast.
The mirror surface in her left hand suddenly split into countless fragnts, forming a mirror wall behind her.
"Every piece of mirror here is my eye; your sneak attacks are completely transparent to !"
"Crack!"
The New Moon stabbed the mirror wall, emitting a crisp shattering sound.
However, the fragnts did not scatter but reassembled as if alive, transforming into a weapon identical to The New Moon.
"That's all you've got."
Isabella sneered.
The mirror blade in her hand and the replicated The New Moon simultaneously attacked the two of them.
Sebastian and l were forced to split up to deal with the attacks.
The forr's blood blade collided with Isabella's mirror blade, each clash sparking dazzling fire.
anwhile, l tangled with the replicated The New Moon, the two identical weapons cutting elegant arcs in the air.
The trio's fight grew increasingly fierce.
The crisp sound of tal colliding echoed in the corridor.
Isabella's movents beca faster and faster; her figure seed to split into three, simultaneously dealing with the attacks from Sebastian and l.
"Damn it...."
Sebastian gritted his teeth, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
l and Isabella's blades intersected, but their movents were almost perfectly synchronized.
After creating so distance, l gasped for breath and suddenly felt a stinging pain in her eye.
"Hiss—"
The girl rubbed her right eye, then couldn't help but frown.
When she looked up again, she was completely frozen in place.
As a trace of clear blue spread in the amber pupil of her right eye, and the star-like patterns in her pupil appeared like a reversed galaxy, a sensation of heat gradually began in her pupil.
The world in l's eyes seed to be overlaid with a special filter.
She could see the Light of Life (Soul Light) on others once again, as well as the filth clinging to the souls.
Just then, a whisper reached l's ear.
The whisper wasn't annoying or noisy; it was more like soone gently murmuring into her ear, the voice incredibly soft.
It sounded like Veronica's voice.
She said:
【True Vision】
l's pupils suddenly contracted, and the world before her beca incredibly clear at that mont.
When she looked at Isabella again, several overlapping phantoms appeared around the girl's body——each phantom was repeating attack and defense stances from different angles.
"This is...."
l's pupils micro-contracted, and she murmured to herself.
Her gaze was locked tightly on Isabella, as if seeing a whole new world.
Isabella sensed l's unusual gaze, retreating a step warily, the long sword in her hand slightly raised.
"Your eyes..."
Her voice carried a hint of doubt and caution.
Then, her pupils suddenly contracted.
"Impossible.... How is this possible! You... how could you...."
Isabella suddenly shrieked, as if she had seen sothing utterly unbelievable.
Her expression beca ferocious.
She then raised her sword, pointing it at l, cursing and demanding:
"What exactly are you?!"
