Chapter 445: First Encounter with Ophelia (6.4k)

It was early June, and the weather was already hot, but there was still a hint of coolness at night.

Especially in the artificial city "Rikka" built in the lake of the giant impact crater in northern Kanto, the light moisture wrapped in the evening breeze made people feel a just right coolness, comfortable and pleasant.

The surrounding roads were full of neon lights of various shops, and pedestrians were talking and laughing among them. Even at night, the city was still a scene of blooming flowers.

Julis walked on the road, letting her rose-like hair flutter in the evening breeze. Unlike her usual self, she did not wear the uniform of the Star Guide Academy today, and she also wore a hat on her head, doing a basic disguise.

It had been a long time since the Phoenix Star Martial Festival and the Griffin Star Martial Festival. As long as she did this level of disguise, people would not recognize her.

Julis lowered her head and walked silently in the street. She did not linger on the wide street, but gradually turned into a narrow path and entered a sparsely populated area. The surrounding street scenes and buildings became visibly dilapidated.

This is the redevelopment area.

In the past, the largest terrorist attack in the history of Rokka, the "Emerald Twilight" incident, occurred here. An unknown number of criminals and students who supported them, a total of 77 attackers, took the residents of the entire area hostage and demanded a large amount of money and some strong political demands from the Rokka government and the integrated enterprise consortium.

In the end, the terrorist attack was ended by the captain of the security team Helga Lindoval who broke into it alone and defeated a total of 70 criminals, and the remaining 7 criminals fled in defeat.

However, the entire area occupied by the terrorists became shabby because of the war. The Rokka government originally decided to redevelop this area, but it was shelved every time for various reasons, which eventually led to this area becoming the only old area in the artificial city of Rokka that was incompatible with the prosperity.

Many unsuccessful and completely depraved people gathered here, making this place a mixed bag of people and gangs. There was even a red-light district with streetwalkers on the whole street.

This is the origin of the redevelopment zone.

Julis walked through the dilapidated streets, ignoring the sight of people around her. She deliberately avoided the crowd around her and quickly entered the depths of the redevelopment zone and arrived at a deserted alley.

"You are here."

In the alley, a girl was already waiting there.

She gently reached out and lifted her long hair that was shining silver-white in the moonlight, and looked at Julis with an indescribable sadness on her face.

"I have obviously looked for you so many times, but you never responded to me once. Now you take the initiative to ask me out. What's the wind blowing, Ophelia?"

Julis raised her head and looked at the blue pupils of the girl opposite with a complicated look, and her chest was throbbing.

"And you chose such an annoying place. Did you do it on purpose?"

"I just chose the place that is most familiar to both of us."

The white-haired girl, Ophelia Landrufen, looked at Julis with a pair of sad red eyes.

"You could have not come, but you still came. This is also the arrangement of fate. Since you are here, it means that you have accepted this ridiculous fate."

"I am not a romantic believer in fatalism!"

Julis snorted coldly and interrupted Ophelia's words. She said coldly.

"Tell me the reason why you asked me to come here. It can't be that you finally figured it out and are willing to go back with me?"

"No."

Ophelia rejected her guess very calmly.

"If you want me to go back with you, then defeat me with your fate. I have already said it."

"Humph, you know it's not, I certainly don't agree with what you said..."

Julis said coldly, but a touch of loss appeared in her eyes, but she immediately calmed down.

"What's the matter?"

"..."

Ophelia was silent for a while, and lowered her eyes as if she was sad.

"You once said that I am your friend."

"Yes, you are my irreplaceable friend!"

Julis was slightly startled, and then nodded with a firm look.

"So I will free you from the conspiracy and struggle no matter what!"

"But unfortunately, my fate is almost coming to an end."

Ophelia heard this, but sighed as if she had given up.

"If you want to overturn my fate, Julis... just kill me with your own hands."

Julis' eyes widened in an instant.

She finally couldn't hold back her emotions and stared at Ophelia angrily.

"Do you know what you are saying? How could I do that! I want you to go back with me--"

"--If you don't do this, this island will disappear from the world."

Ophelia's words followed closely, but Julis was shocked all over, looking at Ophelia in disbelief, and her anger was completely silenced at this moment, and she couldn't even say a word.

"What are you talking about... what about this island disappearing...?!"

Julis couldn't help but stride forward and reach out to grab Ophelia's collar.

But suddenly, she felt an astonishingly strong aura coming from Ophelia, and large hands like poisonous gas emerged from the ground around her and blocked the two of them.

Julis's forward movement was stopped. She saw through Ophelia's intention of not wanting her to get close to her, and could only look at Ophelia anxiously from a distance where the moonlight could not reach.

"Ophelia, what happened? Tell me clearly! You can't be the kind of person who would do that. Someone must have forced you to do it. Who wants to destroy this artificial island... Is it the terrorists who attacked the Griffin Star Martial Festival last year!"

"I won't tell you more."

Faced with Julis's angry questioning that almost lost her mind, Ophelia shook her head, looking as if she had given up on everything and was unshakable.

"I don't know their purpose, nor do I understand their ambitions. I only know what they are going to do, and destroying this artificial island is just one of them."

"Then you have to obey their orders obediently!"

Julis couldn't help the anger in her heart, and asked impatiently.

"Aren't you the first in the Black Sequence of Leiwolf, the strongest witch in the history of Liuhua, and a strong person who is about to complete the three consecutive dominances of Wang Long? Are you just following orders like a puppet?"

"Because all this is meaningless."

Ophelia's expression was unshakable, and her eyes gradually became illusory.

"I say it again, Julis, if you want to overturn my fate... If you really think I am your friend, then do your best to kill me at the Wang Long Star Martial Festival in half a year."

How can such a thing be done?

Not to mention whether Julis can attack Ophelia, the difference in strength between the two is almost a world of difference. There is a huge gap between them that cannot be crossed. Let alone one Julis, even if there are ten of her, they can't be Ophelia's opponent!

But Ophelia's expression was serious.

She was like a believer who had lost her way at the fork of fate, throwing the coin she used to decide which road to take to Julis, letting her decide everything.

"Ophelia!"

Julis was puzzled, but compared to the puzzlement, anger occupied her heart more.

She raised her foot without hesitation and rushed towards Ophelia, as if she wanted to grab her collar fiercely and make her confess everything to her.

"Buzz--!"

Just when Julis caught up, a purple light flashed in the alley.

A sudden huge weight suddenly fell on Julis, catching her off guard. She was unable to resist with the power of the stars. Her body fell to the ground as if it weighed a thousand pounds, tightly attached to the ground, unable to get up half an inch.

"Pure Star... Brilliant Armament?"

Julis barely raised her head and saw Ophelia holding a huge sickle-shaped Pure Star Brilliant Armament in her hand. The Universal Crystal embedded in the handle was releasing purple light waves, covering the entire alley.

Julis was very good at intelligence analysis. She recognized that one. It was a Pure Star Brilliant Armament called the Tyrant Blood Scythe. It had the ability to control gravity and was one of the many Pure Stars kept by the Black Academy of Leiwolf.

But that Pure Star should be in the hands of the "Vampire Princess" Irene Urseth, who ranked third in the sequence of the Black Academy of Leiwolf. When did Ophelia get it?

She was originally the strongest witch in history who could be ranked alongside the captain of the security team, Helga Lindoval. Her strength was so strong that it made everyone despair. She even got the Pure Star Brilliant Armament. Doesn't it mean that she has become even stronger now?

How can she defeat her?

"Don't tell anyone what I said just now."

Ophelia held the Tyrant Blood Scythe and looked down at Julis.

"If the plan is leaked, they will start early, and then you won't even have a chance to breathe."

Ophelia only told this to Julis.

Except for the few people who planned this plan, Julis was the only one in the whole of Liuhua who knew that a group of terrorists planned to destroy this artificial city that gathered the sweat and blood of countless people and placed the hopes of countless people on it.

A huge pressure fell on Julis's shoulders.

After giving the instructions, Ophelia turned around and prepared to leave.

"I'm more curious."

But just as she turned around, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the alley.

"If this plan is known to outsiders, will they really plan to start early?"

"Swish!"

A dazzling knife light like a crescent moon suddenly lit up in the alley.

As if something was pierced, a popping sound like a balloon being punctured was heard in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the light of the sickle in Ophelia's hand suddenly flickered like a short circuit, and the blade trembled continuously. The creaking sound as if it was squeezed was like the mournful cry of the sickle itself.

The abnormal gravity field disappeared instantly, and Julis stood up from the ground immediately.

She looked behind her, with a look of deep surprise and joy on her face.

Outside the alley, a figure walked in leisurely with the moonlight behind him, like a returning traveler.

When he got closer, he could see clearly that it was a young man.

He has the same white hair and red eyes as Ophelia. He wears black-framed glasses with no prescription on his tall nose. His facial features are as delicate as a work of art carved by a master sculptor with great pains. He has an ordinary face. A sense of neatness that can’t be seen at all.

He was wearing a set of simple casual clothes, and in his hand was a snow-white light blade entwined with the black flames of purgatory. The omnipotent crystal on the handle emitted a bright red light like blood.

"Roy, are you back?"

Julis looked at the young man walking into the alley with a surprised smile on her face.

The boy who walked into this alley was Roy, who had set out from Fuyuki City as soon as he woke up, and rushed to Rikka as soon as he returned to this world. He did not take the official passage, so he landed from the redevelopment zone. Unexpectedly Suddenly I came across the scene of the conflict between Julis and Ophelia.

The Black Furnace Demonic Sword in his hand also made a continuous buzzing sound of excitement as he finally returned to the world he was familiar with.

Roy raised his hand to Julis and made an OK gesture.

The smile on his face was calm and calm, as if he had anticipated such a scene, with a reassuring sense of security.

Julis saw his calm smile, and the anxiety in her heart was slowly soothed as if she had been healed.

"Black Furnace Demonic Sword... Are you the champion of the Phoenix Star Warrior Festival, Roy from Star Director Academy?"

Ophelia's eyes swept from the pure white light blade in Roy's hand, fell on Roy's face, and met his eyes.

She didn't know Roy, but she guessed his identity, and the expression on her face changed slightly, and she sighed with sadness, as if she was sad for Roy's appearance.

"Even if you heard our conversation, you should hide in the corner and not appear in front of me."

"Ha, I just showed up, so what?"

Roy felt amused when he heard this, and asked nonchalantly, his expression full of arrogance.

"It's really sad. In order to prevent you from spreading the plan, I have to give you an unforgettable pain..."

Ophelia truly felt sad for Roy. Her eyes when she looked at Roy were full of regret, as if she had seen him fall to the ground.

In order to ensure that the plan is not leaked, she must at least teach Roy a lesson so that he will not dare to spread the plan, or let him be severely injured, or put him in a coma for half a year... He does not need to be treated like this, but she But can't hold back.

"Wait a minute, Ophelia...!"

Julis' expression changed and she immediately took a step forward.

She didn't know how much Roy had become stronger during this period, but Ophelia's reputation as the strongest Rikka had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even if Roy became stronger, it would be difficult to win over Ophelia. She didn't want to see Roy When Yi was injured, she immediately wanted to stop Ophelia.

"It's okay, just stay back, Julis."

But Roy took a step forward, pulled Julis behind him, and smiled at her.

"Remember what I told you, sometimes you have to rely on others. Leave the rest to me, Souji, protect Julis."

"Yes, Master."

Only then did Julis notice that behind Roy was a girl with short hair and a knife wearing a haori.

It turned out to be the runner-up of the Phoenix Star Warrior Festival, Okita Souji of Aoi Enweier Academy?

How could she be with Roy?

And...Master?

What is this name?

What did Roy do during his one-and-a-half-year break from school?

Julis' face was full of confusion and confusion, and ten thousand doubts arose in her heart.

But seeing that Roy looked determined, Souji Okita also stepped forward and pulled her behind him. Thinking of what Roy said, she temporarily settled down and decided to leave the situation to Roy.

At least Roy is much stronger than her. If he really wants to fight Ophelia, he will definitely perform better than her.

And there was a runner-up in the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival next to him.

Seeing Julis retreat, Ophelia's face stretched out with a faint arc.

Immediately afterwards, without any movement from her, the miasma at her feet suddenly swelled, and the number of miasma hands pouring out from her body increased to twenty in one breath, each one rushing toward Roy like a swarm.

Wherever the miasma's hand passed, traces of sulfuric acid corrosion were left on the ground and the walls on both sides. The floor tiles collapsed in the blink of an eye, as if they had been scraped off by a knife, and even the air was filled with a sharp and pungent poisonous smell.

Roy's expression remained unchanged, and he poured star power into the Black Furnace Demon Sword in his hand, and then swung the sword out.

The dazzling sword light shone like lightning in the alley.

Before a large number of miasma's big hands could touch Roy, they were slashed by the sword light in mid-air and melted away like the first snow after the rain. The sharp sword energy passed over the walls on both sides, leaving behind two knives that penetrated into the concrete several feet deep. mark.

Just one knife.

Even some of the miasma's big hands were not chopped off, but the ones that were chopped off were completely melted away, leaving no trace of poisonous gas left.

Ophelia was slightly startled, with a strange look in her eyes.

"You actually used the Black Furnace Demonic Sword to this extent?"

The Black Furnace Demonic Sword is extremely powerful, and it is undoubtedly the top item among the many Pure Star Glory-style weapons. It is known as the "Pure Star among Pure Stars". Its ability to kill anything is said to be even the same Pure Star Glory-style weapon. The ability to be armed can also cut it off with a single blow.

But that requires a very high compatibility rate with the Black Furnace Demonic Sword, and the Black Furnace Demonic Sword must be willing to give all its power to the holder for use.

I didn't expect Roy to be able to do this.

In the finals of the Phoenix Star Martial Festival two years ago, he seemed unable to do it. However, in the video of the finals at that time, he only took out the Black Furnace Demon Sword at the end, so it is hard to say whether he did it at that time.

But at this moment, Roy has undoubtedly exerted the power of the Black Furnace Demon Sword to the limit. Not only the ability of the pure Xinghuang-style weapon, he even cut off the ability of the witch - even her witch ability. It is really an amazing control ability. It ranks among the best in the history of the six flowers. No one can match it. She also has to admire it. It is worthy of being the champion of the Phoenix Star Martial Festival.

"But this little power is not enough to cut off my fate."

Ophelia's surprise was only a moment, and her expression quickly became calm, leaving only the sadness as plain as water.

The next moment, more miasma gathered at her feet. At the same time, the star power in Ophelia's body surged rapidly, surpassing the human realm at a very fast speed, like a stream suddenly turned into a huge lake, and a powerful star power storm broke out in this narrow alley.

The star power that was like a substance roared in, forming a pure energy pressure, and pressed on Roy on the opposite side without mercy, not even caring whether it would affect Julis.

At the same time, the vicious miasma hands appeared around her again. Unlike the last time, there were only two this time, but these two miasma hands swelled like giants and reached out to grab Roy. The size was more than enough to hold him in the palm of his hand.

"Be careful, Ophelia's poison has a special attack effect on star power. If you touch it, you will be unconscious. The more star power, the stronger the effect!"

Julis's anxious warning with a sense of urgency came from behind.

Roy remained motionless in the face of the surging star force storm, but he suddenly raised his eyebrows when facing the two huge miasma hands.

He stuck the Black Furnace Magic Sword into the ground, suddenly stretched out his hands, covered his hands with star force, and grabbed the two miasma hands regardless of anything.

Julis was shocked watching from behind.

Ophelia in front was also dumbfounded for a moment, shocked by his boldness.

Julis reminded him that he could not use star force to fight, and the best way was to use the Black Furnace Magic Sword to meet the enemy, but he actually did the opposite and had to give up the Black Furnace Magic Sword and use star force to protect his body and fight the enemy?

"Bang!"

With a dull bang, Roy raised his hands high and grabbed the two miasma hands that were attacking him. At the same time, he turned his arms and twisted them with all his strength. The huge miasma hands creaked like steel twisting, and soon they were twisted into a ball of dough, and then shattered with a bang.

"The poison to the star power is a bit boring."

Roy clapped his hands, looking calm and indifferent.

Ophelia was slightly stunned, she opened her mouth and looked at Roy with surprise.

She didn't know how many times she was surprised tonight.

Roy clearly touched her miasma hands with the star power, and her star power poison must have touched him. Now he should have fainted from the poison. How could he stand there like nothing happened?

In fact, the energy in Roy's body only had the characteristics of the star power, and it was not transformed into the star power itself.

Similarly, the cursed power and magic power in his body are all just the properties of this energy itself, not the energy itself.

In essence, the energy in his body is neither magic power nor cursed power, nor star power.

Even Roy himself doesn't understand what kind of energy it is, let alone explain it.

All special attacks against star power, cursed power, and magic power are completely ineffective against him.

"Even if the star power poison is ineffective on you, your body still can't withstand other poisons."

Ophelia was surprised for a moment, but soon came to her senses, with no joy or sadness in her expression.

"Even if I'm just talking here, my poison has spread out, including poisons that weaken the body, poisons that paralyze the nerves, and poisons that enhance pain, etc. My poison is all-encompassing and there is nothing I can't do. You can only fall down now-"

"Your poison has no other effect except irritating my nose."

Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Roy's words.

He stood there straight, smiling as he spoke. His body was spotless, his skin was still white as ice, and there was no sign of poisoning.

"One, two, three, four... So that's it. You used four poisons in total, two for muscles and two for nerves."

Roy closed one eye and said as if talking to himself.

"That's the principle of action. Then generate antibodies against this poison in the body... Done. Okay, if there are any other poisons, use them all at once. Just help me enrich the antibody library for various poisons!"

He completed the research that scientists might not be able to complete in decades in just a short moment. He was still smiling nonchalantly, and asked Ophelia to take out more poisons nonchalantly.

He completed the antibodies against four poisons in his body in the blink of an eye?

Ophelia's sad expression finally changed for the first time.

Her eyes became bright and she stared at Roy with a strong shock in her eyes, and a burning will burst out from the bottom of her eyes.
