Feeling the pain of his severed arm, Keane drank the healing potion with a contorted expression. As a space mage, when had he ever suffered such a serious injury?
He hadn't been injured like this even when he fought Nora, that crazy woman, last time.
This time, he truly felt a deadly threat.
What should we do now? Are there any other ways to escape?
Just as Keane was racking his brains for a way to escape, Elise, who was in the distance, seemed to sense something and said with a smile, "You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long~"
As Elise spoke, Servis's familiar figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Servis looked at Elise with a complicated expression. She had imagined many scenarios of reuniting with Elise, even of facing Elise with swords drawn. But when the two met again, she found that she had no desire to fight at all. In fact, she even felt a secret joy and a longing to get closer to Elise.
"What's wrong? It's only been a short time since we last met, and you don't recognize me anymore?" Elise said, sounding a little sad.
The reason she hadn't made a move was because she was waiting for Servis or Ockham to appear.
Last time, when Nora and Elena went to hunt down the protagonist, they were both stopped by Ockham. So, it's likely that she will be stopped this time as well.
She was right.
Unfortunately, it was only Servis's clone that arrived.
“How could I possibly forget all the terrible things you’ve done to me? I wish I could kill you!” Servis said coldly.
Although she said she wanted to kill Elise, Elise didn't sense much killing intent from her. Instead, she felt more hesitation and inner conflict.
And that was exactly what Elise wanted to see. Keane, watching from afar, also felt a renewed hope for survival upon seeing Servis appear.
You have to understand that Servis and Elise are sworn enemies, the kind who are mortal enemies. As long as the two of them fight, I can find a chance to escape.
However, the imagination was too beautiful, while the reality was too cruel.
Keane quickly realized that something was off between the two.
Aren't you two mortal enemies? It's one thing that you haven't actually fought yet, but why are you acting like a bickering couple?!
Volume 1: Chapter 727 You're too noisy!
"Servis, help me!"
Sensing the increasingly strange atmosphere, Keane quickly called out to Servis.
"You said I was the chosen one of destiny, so what are you hesitating for now, as the one favored by destiny?" Keane roared, unable to withstand Nora's increasingly powerful offensive.
Hearing Keane's roar, Servis, who was already in a bad mood, turned even more gloomy.
For some reason, the mere mention of the title "Child of Destiny" stirred a strange sense of disgust within her.
“There are many chosen ones, you are not an exception, and in the current situation, one of me is of no use at all.”
Although this is a clone of hers, it wouldn't be a loss for her if she perished here.
However, Servis was, after all, a chosen one of destiny, and she couldn't just watch the chosen one die before her eyes. So she silently looked at Elise and said, "Let's do it."
“I won’t make a move unless you attack me first. Didn’t I say that last time?” Elise remained standing in the same spot, the breeze rustling her long hair, her smile still gentle.
For Servis, attacking Iris should have been a simple matter, but for some reason, she hesitated when she looked at the blonde girl in front of her.
Rumia, who was standing to the side, was initially a little worried that this person would make a move against Iris, but when she saw the other person's hesitant expression, she suddenly felt that it was somewhat familiar.
After thinking it over carefully, Rumia finally remembered that this was her former self.
Unbeknownst to him, he was bewitched by a wicked woman, causing him to hesitate and be unable to act at crucial moments, ultimately turning him into Elise's dog.
The silent Servis suddenly noticed that the former saintess of the Eternal Church standing next to Elise was looking at her with a strange gaze, as if she were looking at... one of her own kind?
While Servis was struggling with her dilemma, Keane's situation was getting worse and worse.
While locked in combat with Nora, he couldn't spare any attention to break the spatial confinement device, rendering his most familiar spatial powers unusable.
Although he possesses the Heart of the Elements and his elemental magic is very strong, he is still not quite up to the task when facing Nora.
After all, he hasn't had the Heart of Elements for very long, and the fact that he has such control over it is already a testament to his talent.
Having barely dodged a fatal attack, Keane shouted at Servis, "What are you still hesitating for!?"
"You're too noisy."
Servis coldly reached out her hand towards Keane, plucking at the threads of his destiny.
The elemental heart, which should have been in a stable state, suddenly became restless.
Keane was already completely fused with the Heart of Elements, so this situation shouldn't have happened. But he just took the Heart of Elements out, thus breaking the perfect fusion.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems if things just fall apart like this, but with the threads of fate being manipulated, an accident that was practically impossible occurred.
When Han Dang's Elemental Heart became unstable, Keane's elemental magic also encountered problems.
She was already unable to withstand Nora's offensive, and now she was even less of a match for her.
Bakin realized that Servis and Elise weren't exactly sworn enemies; they were probably having an affair!
Why did Nethersaves go to such lengths to have someone assassinate Elise?
Could it be that it was a scheme orchestrated by two wicked women to wipe out these chosen ones of destiny in one fell swoop?
Keane, caught between life and death, felt he had discovered a great secret, but unfortunately, he was about to die.
No, even if it kills him, he will get this message out!
The third message is to be passed on to those who have worked with Servis.
Four-Keeen glanced at the Void Blade on the verge of shattering, then ripped open another spatial rift and threw a conch shell into it.
The conch shell contains only a simple sentence.
Be careful of Servis.
After doing this, the Void Blade in his hand was completely shattered, and at the same time, Keane's body suddenly twisted.
Seeing this, Sally quickly warned, "Watch out, he's going to self-destruct!"
"Self-destruction is prohibited here!" Elise's voice rang out, and the power of order instantly enveloped the area.
Keane, who was on the verge of self-destruction, was forcibly stopped once again, which felt like some kind of strange play.
Keane was furious and wanted to say something, but Nora's sword flashed and a head fell to the ground.
To be on the safe side, Nora also stabbed Keane in the heart.
When Servis saw this scene from a distance, she felt a strange sense of déjà vu, for some reason.
It's as if I've seen a similar scene somewhere before.
Looking at the dead Keane, Nora did not hesitate to take out the Book of Souls and bind Keane's soul within it.
Although the Book of Souls doesn't have many pages yet, it's not few either, and the teleportation ability that Nora desires most is right there in it.
Once she has teleportation, her disadvantage in speed can be greatly compensated, and she may even become quite formidable.
Nora, carrying Keane's corpse, returned to Elise's side, then coldly looked at Servis before her: "Should we kill him?"
Hearing Nora's words, Elise couldn't help but tilt her head. Why did Nora seem so murderous after returning from the island trial?
"Not for now. It doesn't seem like she has any intention of attacking me."
As Elise used the power of the earth to repair the ravaged battlefield, she said to Servis, "There's still time. Would you like to come with me to the town's festival celebration?"
"No interest." After saying this, Servis turned into a speck of light and disappeared from the spot.
She was a little worried that if Elise persuaded her a few more times, she might actually choose to stay.
Although Servis had left, Elise was still in a good mood. She could tell that the other person had shown a little bit of interest just now.
After completing the repairs, Elise summoned the Invisible Maw, which devoured Keane's corpse.
This time, she asked the foodie for Keane's spatial talent.
However, perhaps because her soul was bound by the Book of Souls, Elise's spatial talent was not particularly outstanding, but she didn't care. After all, she only wanted this talent to make her movements more convenient.
While Keane's spatial ring contained many valuable items, it lacked any ancient artifacts that could be used to break through the spatial blockade.
All of them were consumed in the battle just now.
If it weren't for Sally's constant interference, even a spatial confinement device wouldn't have been able to trap the other party.
In some ways, Keane is one of the most difficult protagonists to kill.
"Alright, that's settled. We can go back and enjoy the holiday now." Elise snapped her fingers, dispelling the double barrier.
Volume 1: Chapter 728 I smell really good, do you want to smell me?
"It seems like someone has been following us."
Nora, standing beside Elise, sensed the subtle gaze directed at her and gave Elise a gentle reminder.
"I know, don't worry about it. Instead, I suggest you try the specialty of Xike Town, Moonlight Wine."
Is there anything special about this wine?
"Is it special that I like to drink?" Elise tilted her head.
"Then let's give it a try."
Because it's a local specialty, you can find it quickly just by going to the town square.
Nora took the Moonlight Wine she had just bought, opened it, tasted it, and said, "It tastes sweet, but it doesn't seem to have much of an alcoholic flavor."
“Although it doesn’t taste like alcohol, it has a strong aftereffect. Some scum in the kingdom like to use this kind of wine to deceive naive girls,” Elise explained.
Hearing her words, Nora couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Have you ever been deceived before?"
"Do you think I'd be fooled?" After all, she was a gamer before she transmigrated, so how could she not understand the tricks and gimmicks in games?
Although she wasn't actually fooled, she did manage to trick Nora with the wine, and judging from Nora's expression, she probably didn't remember the incident.
Nora couldn't remember, but the taste of the wine felt strangely familiar. After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately decided not to drink any more.
She considered herself to have a pretty good alcohol tolerance, but she was worried that drinking too much would affect her ability to protect Elise. Although Keane was now dead, no one knew if any uninvited guests might appear.
For example, someone who has been following them.
Nora silently turned her head to look, and although the crowds were huge due to the festival, she still spotted a striking silver-white figure in the crowd.
It was that woman who had organized the assassination attempt on Elise; she had just said she was leaving but had silently followed them all the way.
I don't know what Elise was thinking. If it were her, she would definitely kill it without hesitation, even if it was just a clone.
Sensing the chilling killing intent locked onto her, Servis didn't care. She had already figured out that Nora wouldn't attack her without Elise's signal.
Of course, the premise of not attacking her is that she doesn't attack Elise.
The main reason she didn't leave was because of Nora; she was trying to decipher the sense of familiarity she felt about the other person.
I had never met this chosen one before the assassination attempt on Elise, nor after the failed attempt. Why then did I have this strange sense of déjà vu with her?
Servis frowned slightly and thought carefully for a moment.
But before she could think of anything, a familiar voice rang in her ear: "Since we're already here, why don't we come together?"
Upon hearing the voice, Servis realized that Elise had appeared beside her at some point, smiling at her.
Although she was used to such sudden closeness when Elise was parasitizing her soul before, the current Elise was not a projection, but a living being. She could even feel the strange sensation of the other's breath on her ear.
That feeling made Servis unconsciously take a half step back, distancing herself from Elise.
She had initially intended to refuse Elise, but after glancing at Nora's wary expression, she suddenly changed her mind: "Sure, I don't have anything else to do right now anyway."
Hearing Servis's reply, Nora frowned, not because the other party had accepted Elise's invitation, but because for a moment when the other party smiled, she seemed to see the shadow of Elise.
“Let’s go then. I happen to know that there are a lot of interesting activities at this festival.”
Seeing that Ellie turned away without any suspicion, Servis couldn't help but say, "Aren't you afraid I'll betray you?"
"Don't worry, because Nora is here. She'll cut you into pieces the moment you make a move."
"I'm very curious, how exactly did you manage to bring her to your side?"
Servis glanced at Nora, then at Elise. As the chosen one, Nora should theoretically be unable to coexist harmoniously with the discordant forces of fate; fate would lead them to conflict.
In the best-case scenario, even the favored ones of fate won't need to intervene; the chosen ones will clear away the noise themselves.
However, now the Chosen One stands with the Discordant Fate, and their relationship is extremely close.
The power of fate surged in Servis's pupils. She saw Nora's threads of fate, twisted and dangerous, and she didn't even dare to touch them lightly.
She even had a strange feeling that if she were to touch the threads of the other person's fate, she would die on the spot.
