Chapter 650: Chapter 298: Major Family Events III: Night of the Witch (Part 13)_6
As she plunged headfirst into the storm, Little Red Riding Hood slightly lowered the brim of her hat and unleashed, unreservedly, the magical power absorbed from all the magical girls. Then, a deafening bell rang out from the sky, and a massive Christmas pattern slowly unfurled beneath the heavens, dispersing clouds for thousands of miles.
An untily blizzard began to fall upon the world, shrouding the entire sleigh in swirling snow as the reindeer trampled through the violent, howling snowstorm.
Thereafter, a hazy aurora enveloped the sleigh—more accurately, the sleigh turned into a beam of teal aurora, deeply crashing into the grayish-blue magical storm.
The world before her eyes suddenly tinted as if a profound azure filter had been applied.
In the eyes of the two people on the sleigh, the girl on the cross and the surrounding cocoon grew closer and closer.
A hundred ters…
Little Red Riding Hood’s gaze was calm.
Eighty ters…
Little Red Riding Hood’s pupils narrowed slightly.
Sixty ters…
Blood began to trickle from the corners of Little Red Riding Hood’s mouth.
Forty ters…
Blood stread from the corners of Little Red Riding Hood’s eyes, staining her pale cheeks red.
After entering the forty-ter depth, the Christmas sleigh’s progress beca labored, as the grayish-blue magical power incessantly scraped off the teal aurora that draped the sleigh, causing it to dissipate sowhat. As expected, the sleigh would disintegrate in a few seconds.
Right at that mont, Ke Mingye, seated on the sleigh, removed his shattered Lan Ou helt, hung his head low, and slowly took out a paper figurine from the cuff of his battle suit. The figurine curled up in the palm of his hand, muttering “Id,” “Ego,” “Superego”…
“Please…”
Ke Mingye whispered to himself.
In the fleeting second, he used his consciousness to open a player chat panel with soone.
[Failed Man: 1.]
[Notice: Player “Fan Quan” has cast an enhancing skill “Superego” on you—your health points are halved, but for the next 5 seconds, your All Attributes will double.]
The next instant, Ke Mingye’s body trembled, and a sudden onslaught of pain caused his pupils to constrict sharply.
“Cough—!”
Blood spurted fiercely from the corners of his mouth, the sound of his bones breaking audible.
But at the sa ti, as a painful exchange, the attribute boost brought by “Superego” was also shared with Little Red Riding Hood.
[Spiritual Power: 474 points→954 points (↑1 fold)]
[Your “Spiritual Power” attribute has temporarily surpassed the minimum requirent for “S ” rank.]
Ke Mingye was fully aware that the mightiest witch’s magical stance, nearly a sacrifice, could not be broken by the magic of Xizi Yue and Lilai alone… But with the boost from Fan Quan’s “Superego” on the Chosen Day, the outco could be different.
In those neither long nor short five seconds, he staked his very life.
In that instant, Little Red Riding Hood’s pupils erupted with a serene light akin to the aurora of Iceland, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on the cross at the end point.
The fleeting five seconds, like an aeon-long five seconds, Ke Mingye couldn’t quite put into words, his consciousness seemingly about to be subrged by the dim Magic Ocean, his head growing muzzy, ready to sink to the seabed at any mont.
But in the mont when his eyelids were about to close, a burst of light akin to the Midnight Sun exploded in the somber depths, instantly illuminating the gloomy world.
The Christmas sleigh turned into a cot wrapped in auroras, carrying the grandest snowstorm in the world, roaming wantonly through the grayish-blue sea—thirty ters, twenty ters, ten ters, and in that mont, the aurora cot punctured the massive magic cocoon.
In Little Red Riding Hood’s view, the gothic-dressed girl’s silhouette drew near. Yet her vision began to dim, growing increasingly blurry, until she could no longer see the girl’s face clearly… she could no longer see anything at all.
Struggling to keep her eyes open, she could only see darkness.
“I’m sorry, Principal, I…” the girl said hoarsely in the dark.
“It’s okay, you did very well.”
“Will my senior miss … right?”
“Mhm.”
“She won’t forget .”
“Right. She won’t forget.”
“I can’t play with my senior anymore, because… Little Red Riding Hood is dead.”
“Please, I’ll stay by her side. As a ‘dead person’ just behave a bit, you can watch over her in my head.”
“Alright… that doesn’t sound too bad.”
Thinking this, the Christmas-dressed girl faintly curved her lips and closed her eyes.
As if she was imagining riding the sleigh with that girl into the sky, soaring amidst the auroras, light, jubilant, as free as if owning the whole world.
In the very end, she pried her eyelids open from the dream and with all her might, raised her right hand, taking out an A-grade magic card from the book of magic—”Void Shadow.”
Her right hand then fell limply, handing it over into the palm of Ke Mingye’s hand.
In that second, the layer of aurora on the surface of the sleigh was completely shattered within the grayish-blue sea.
Ke Mingye wiped the blood from his lips, clenched his teeth, and, with a vague gaze, crushed the card to pieces.
Imdiately, his figure turned into a phantom, darting forward and like an arrow piercing through the murky sea ahead, crossing the final ten ters—!
Right after… the sleigh behind him and the Christmas-dressed girl on it were both slowly swallowed by the grayish-blue sea, vanishing in an instant, leaving no trace.
Ke Mingye’s body slowly materialized from the phantom, clutching the girl at the center of the storm with all his might, and gently opening his bloodied lips, he whispered hoarsely into her ear:
“Wake up, Bai Zini… I’ve co to take you ho.”
