Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 463 The Return of the Unknown Goddess

Xi Yeming didn't hear clearly what the little girl said, so he asked again with a puzzled look on his face: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

Seeing this, the little girl repeated what she had just said: "It was the war that made me lose my parents..."

After hearing this, Xi Yeming suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He instinctively wanted to take a step back, but found that his legs were like being nailed down and he couldn't move at all.

"It's all your fault!" Just when Xi Yeming felt a little uneasy, the little girl suddenly turned her head and faced him straight.

And at this moment, the little girl's face, which was originally covered by her hair, was revealed to Xi Yeming without reservation.

What a horrible face it was, with eyeballs that were almost detached and about to fall off on its bloody face; where the nose should have been, several pieces of flesh were now missing, and the exposed muscle tissue inside could be clearly seen; the mouth was charred black, with its lips long gone, and the gums without teeth made it impossible for the upper and lower jaws to close.

This face was so terrifying that even Xi Yeming, who had seen countless defeated soldiers on the battlefield, was frightened to death. His body trembled involuntarily, and he completely lost his usual composure.

"No, this is... an illusion!"

Xi Yeming secretly exclaimed in his heart, he clenched his teeth tightly, trying desperately to maintain his rationality. His hands trembled slightly, and he raised them to cast magic to defeat the unrecognizable girl in front of him.

At the moment when he was about to recite the spell, the girl suddenly let out an extremely unpleasant cry from her throat. The sound was like a demon from hell, sharp and piercing, and it made people shudder.

Xi Yeming's face turned pale instantly, and his body began to tremble involuntarily. Because he had a great psychological shadow on the child's crying, this cry was like a sharp sword, piercing his heart directly.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The girl's crying became louder and louder, more and more miserable. That horrible sound kept echoing in Xi Yeming's mind. His thoughts gradually became confused, and he was completely unable to concentrate on casting magic.

“Wait, don’t…!”

Xi Yeming wanted to stop the girl from crying, but it was too late. The piercing cry was like a violent storm, fiercely impacting his eardrums. He felt a sharp pain in both ears, as if they were being torn apart.

In an instant, Xi Yeming lost all his strength and means. His body collapsed to the ground like a puppet without support, his eyes staring blankly ahead, completely stunned.

The snowstorm didn't stop at any point, and Xi Yeming stood there, almost like a statue.

The girl was, of course, an illusion created by Hiiragi using the magic of warm snow. The real Hiiragi was standing quietly beside Xi Yeming, watching him indifferently as he was covered by warm snow bit by bit, and finally turned into a "snowman".

"So, I win..."

The corners of Hiiragi's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

In Xi Yeming's consciousness, a beautiful figure stood quietly in the chaos like a ghost. Her beauty was like the bright moon in the night sky, emitting an intoxicating light, but her smile was full of teasing and concern.

Her eyes were like torches, fixed tightly on Xi Yeming, as if she was appreciating a carefully planned drama. With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she sang softly, the sound was like the sound of nature, but it contained endless magic.

"Echo Magic: Dream Eater."

These six words echoed in the space of consciousness like a spell. At the same time, Xi Yeming's conscious world began to tremble violently, and those uninvited guests who invaded his mind were being quickly cleared away.

Outside, Hiiragi was staring at Xi Yeming nervously, her heartbeat becoming more and more rapid as time passed.

Xi Yeming's eyes gradually lost their luster, as if his soul had been taken away, while Hiiragi silently welcomed the arrival of victory in his heart.

At the moment when Shu thought he was about to win, a miracle happened. Xi Yeming's eyes suddenly lit up again, and that light was like the dawn, dispelling the darkness.

His consciousness and rationality returned in an instant, and his pupils were accurately focused on Hiiragi next to him.

"what?"

Hiiragi screamed in astonishment. She had never expected that Xi Yeming could break free from the constraints of Nuanxue's magic in such a short time.

Her body involuntarily stepped back as if she had been extremely frightened.

Just as Hiiragi stepped back, a wind blade whizzed past and struck the ground where she had just stood.

There was a loud bang, and a deep crack appeared on the ground, with gravel flying everywhere. Hiiragi's face turned pale, her heartbeat almost jumped out of her throat, and her heart was filled with fear and dread.

After Xi Yeming woke up, he felt his body was extremely hot, as if he was being burned by a flame.

He looked down and found that he was covered with thick snow, which was melting rapidly and turned into puddles of water.

Xi Yeming immediately realized that the heat he felt just now was probably related to the snow. He quickly waved his hands to shake off the snow on his body and restore his body to normal.

Xi Yeming, who had survived the catastrophe, said: "I thought you were an elemental magician, but I didn't expect you were a spiritual magician."

"Did anyone help you?"

Shu realized that with Xi Yeming, it would be difficult for him to break free from Nuanxue's control.

"Someone helped me," Xi Yeming admitted, "I didn't expect that she would set up a barrier to protect my spirit without me noticing."

After returning, Xi Yeming will definitely find an opportunity to thank his aunt properly.

But Xi Yeming doesn't have to worry too much. He has plenty of backup plans, and the mental magic his aunt sets up for him is just the icing on the cake.

"It seems that you really have come here with all possible precautions."

Xi Yeming threatened: "Don't underestimate the ability of me, the most talented student in the history of Kilgard Academy."

Unfortunately, Hiiragi had rarely traveled far, so he had no idea what Kilgore College was, nor did he understand the level of the most talented students.

All she knew was that she couldn't just lose like this.

"Yeah, we can't just lose like this."

A familiar sound came from Hiiragi's body. She looked at her body in shock, and Xi Yeming also looked over there in surprise.

"who is it?"

Hiiragi panicked.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I want to play with him."
