113: Luna Fairy's Resolute

"Don't think too much about that right now."

The Luna Fairy Spirit noticed Han Fei's worry and quickly spoke, trying to dispel the gloom lingering in his heart.

"There is still some time before the arrival of the day of prophecy, and the potential of the Cheat you possess is deeper than you can imagine. You are being pessimistic too early!"

Hearing this, Han Fei took a deep breath, and it felt as if a mass of stagnant Qi in his chest was expelled along with it. He then nodded lightly.

He naturally understood that with the full assistance of the Luna Fairy Spirit, he still had a lot of room for improvement.

What he needed to do now was to hone himself as much as possible before the day of prophecy arrived.

Whether it was superpowers, magic, or control over exotic flames, every tiny bit of progress would be a cornerstone leading to a better outcome.

The Luna Fairy Spirit then changed the subject, asking with a trace of subtle concern, "Why were you attacked? Who was it that struck you?"

Han Fei's thoughts drifted back to yesterday. "I met a very dangerous person at school yesterday, but I'm not sure if the one who attacked me today was her..."

Han Fei then described in detail his previous experience at the God of Cookery Competition to the Luna Fairy Spirit.

Every detail was meticulously described by him, as if to make the Luna Fairy Spirit feel the tension and strangeness of that moment firsthand.

"So, you suspect That Person yesterday is the mastermind who impersonated Master Shang Shan?" The Luna Fairy Spirit's voice contained a hint of surprise.

Han Fei nodded heavily, his eyes flashing with certainty.

"I am highly confident they are the same person."

The Luna Fairy Spirit pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing the complex information, and finally nodded slowly in agreement.

"In that case, is their goal the bronze kung fu cuisine treasure chest?"

"This..."

Han Fei frowned slightly, appearing hesitant.

After all, if his perception was correct, the opponent was likely a top-tier B-Rank or even an A-Rank expert.

For such an expert to go to such lengths just for a bronze kung fu cuisine treasure chest, the underlying logic was too weak and unconvincing.

"I still believe they approached me because of my identity as the child of prophecy."

Han Fei still trusted his previous judgment.

The Luna Fairy Spirit nodded in agreement. "Indeed, judging from the various signs, this possibility is more reasonable."

Han Fei asked the Luna Fairy Spirit, "Who do you think the opponent might be?"

After pondering for a moment, the Luna Fairy Spirit speculated, "I believe the opponent is very likely one of the remnants under the former Devil King."

500 years ago, after the Devil King was Sealed, the Devil King's army collapsed like a falling building and was relentlessly pursued and purged by the Alliance of heroes led by the Shining Knight.

However, even after 500 years, many experts from the Devil King's army still lurk in various corners of the world, awaiting the Devil King's revival.

Among them are several Demon Generals whose strength has reached high A-Rank, as well as one S-Rank commander, all of whom are still missing.

"What should we do then? Is there any way to deal with them?" Han Fei quickly asked.

The Luna Fairy Spirit was an expert in dealing with the Demon Race, having developed countless spells specifically targeting them.

After only a slight moment of contemplation, the Luna Fairy Spirit thought of a solution.

"I can engrave an anti-demon rune capable of sealing the Devil King's heart onto your second heart. This way, any attack from the Demon Race will be unable to cause you substantial harm."

"Coincidentally, by leveraging the magic power of the anti-demon rune, I can also quickly complete the processing of your second heart, allowing you to gain B-Rank strength as soon as possible."

Hearing this, a look of surprise and hesitation flashed across Han Fei's face. "You mean, you want to engrave that epic rune on my second heart? Can it... withstand that power?"

Even observing from afar at this moment, the pressure emitted by those epic runes made him feel a suffocating heaviness.

This made Han Fei highly doubt whether his fragile second heart could withstand such terrifying power.

Seeing this, the Luna Fairy Spirit smiled gently and patted her own chest. "Don't worry, I have a way."

Han Fei nodded. Although he felt uneasy, he still chose to trust the Luna Fairy Spirit.

He then asked, "How long will that take to complete?"

"If I use time magic, it will only take half a day." A confident smile curved the Luna Fairy Spirit's lips.

"Then how should I handle the guy I encountered? Should I inform the Special Guard Team?" Han Fei frowned deeply, his tone revealing a hint of hesitation and unease.

"It's best to wait and see for now. You must know that the Demon Generals who have survived until today are not simple." The Luna Fairy Spirit said solemnly.

Han Fei nodded faintly upon hearing this.

It must be known that the hunt for the Devil King's remnants by various nations has not ceased for a moment during these 500 years.

A Demon General who could survive this long must possess escape techniques far surpassing ordinary people.

Even if an S-Rank Expert personally arrived, they might still escape using various methods, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, making them difficult to capture.

"I will observe here for a few days and then come find you. When the time comes, just leave that fellow for me to handle."

The Luna Fairy Spirit's tone conveyed an unquestionable resolve.

That was a hatred and determination stemming from the depths of her Soul.

Five hundred years ago, almost all of her friends and family were slaughtered by the Devil King's army.

This hatred had long been deeply etched into her Soul.

"Taking away one rune won't affect the Seal on the Devil King, right?" Han Fei's inquiry was mixed with some worry.

"Don't worry, the remaining runes are completely sufficient. After all, this is just a heart, not the true Devil King," the Luna Fairy Spirit replied lightly.

"Wait here for a moment. I will engrave the heart now."

After speaking, she gently waved her hand. Multicolored light seemed to flow in the air, instantly condensing into a dazzling shield that enveloped her entirely.

"I am going to use time magic to accelerate. During this time, you absolutely must not disturb me." The Luna Fairy Spirit's voice came from within the shield, carrying an undeniable authority.

As her words fell, she unhesitatingly activated the time magic, a spell that was a heavy burden on her.

In an instant, her body felt as if it were simultaneously pierced by thousands of tiny yet incredibly sharp needles. Intense pain surged like a tide, causing her to tightly furrow her brows as large beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks.

Not only that, but under this extreme pain, her skin aged at a visible rate, and wrinkles quietly crept onto her once smooth and delicate face.

"As expected, I don't have much time left..."

The Luna Fairy Spirit gave a wry smile, a smile that contained both helplessness and relief.

She turned her head to look at the Devil King's heart not far away, and a resolute light immediately flashed in her eyes, as if all the pain and sacrifice were insignificant at this moment.

"As long as I can eliminate the Devil King and end this long nightmare, everything is worth it."

500 years ago, she and the heroes fought with everything they had, reducing the utterly evil Devil King to ashes.

But its heart possessed the characteristic of immortality.

The Luna Fairy Spirit and the heroes tried every method but were ultimately unable to destroy the heart.

In the end, they could only resort to the method of Seal, sealing it at the bottom of the Heavenly River.

Later, the Shining Knight used precognitive magic to foresee a future 500 years later, where the Devil King would experience Rebirth through blood.

And at the very beginning of its revival, when it was at its weakest, the hero chosen by fate would deliver a fatal blow to him, utterly destroying him.

The Shining Knight told the Luna Fairy Spirit this prophecy before she fell into slumber.

Unfortunately, Luna was on the verge of losing consciousness at the time, and many crucial details, like morning mist, dissipated from her memory.

For example, the name of the hero chosen by fate—the Shining Knight must have mentioned it.

But the Luna Fairy Spirit didn't hear clearly, or rather, she heard it but then forgot it.

She only vaguely remembered that the name of the hero chosen by fate had some similarity to hers.

But exactly where the similarity lay, the Luna Fairy Spirit could no longer recall precisely. Only a haze remained in her memory... At the same time.

Above the riverbed lava cave.

Hot steam distorted the river, forming illusory ripples that reflected a dark and profound underwater world.

In this land kissed by flames, a massive whale, shimmering entirely with brilliant golden light, slowly cruised.

Every flick of its tail stirred up rolling lava, as if dancing to an ancient and mysterious melody.

Inside the whale's incredibly huge body, however, was a completely different scene.

The space was magically expanded and arranged like a tranquil private palace.

In the center, a chair carved from unknown wood, along with matching seats, rested quietly.

Princess Luna was seated on the chair, gently holding a cup of steaming tea.

She elegantly took a sip of tea, but her face, which should have been snow-white, was currently overlaid with a layer of ashen pallor, revealing her inner anxiety and unease.

She asked Seville, who was standing behind her, "Have you still not found the entrance to the Seal?"

Seville's face was full of frustration. He slowly shook his head, his voice low. "We have clearly been searching according to the method left by the Shining Knight, but we just can't find the entrance."

Princess Luna frowned tightly. She then took out the stone slab she used to contact the Luna Fairy Spirit.

The surface of the stone slab was smooth, faintly emitting a pale blue light, as if it were a portal connecting to another world.

"Your Highness, your divine blood..."

Seville quickly spoke up to dissuade her, his eyes filled with worry.

He knew that using divine blood to contact the Fairy Spirit was a tremendous drain on Princess Luna, possibly even carrying unpredictable risks.

"The day of prophecy is approaching. I must contact the Luna Fairy Spirit as soon as possible!"

Princess Luna's tone carried a rare hint of urgency.

She bore the heavy responsibility of killing the Devil King. Even with fate's favor and a high success rate in killing the Devil King, she did not want to become a sacrificial victim for him.

Therefore, she had to find the Luna Fairy Spirit quickly and discuss the plan to eliminate the Devil King with her.

The sooner a detailed plan was formulated, the greater her chance of survival after the final battle.

Thus, she unhesitatingly squeezed a drop of precious golden blood from her fingertip.

The moment the blood touched the stone slab, it seemed to activate an ancient contract.

Strange light began to surge on the stone slab's surface, the patterns shifting unpredictably, finally condensing into a blurred image.

In the image, a beautiful elf with white wings on her back was holding a beating heart.

The beautiful elf was concentrating fully on carving complex runes onto the heart's surface. The completion of each rune was accompanied by a faint flicker of light, as if she were weaving the threads of fate.

"I've connected!"

Princess Luna's voice carried unconcealed delight, like a dawn breaking in a long night, illuminating her heart.

She secretly rejoiced, confirming that her persistence in coming near the Devil King's Seal was the correct choice.

However, this joy was fleeting, like a shooting star across the night sky.

The next moment, her smile froze on her face.

Only to see a circle of multicolored light suddenly appear around the Luna Fairy Spirit.

Immediately following, accompanied by the fierce burst of colorful light, the stone slab emitted a heart-stopping cracking sound.

Cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, every fissure seeming to speak of some ominous sign.

"Wha—what is happening?!"

Princess Luna's voice trembled. Her wide eyes were filled with disbelief, even faintly streaked with blood.

This stone slab was the only link between her and the Luna Fairy Spirit.

If this stone slab were destroyed, it would be nearly impossible for her to contact the Luna Fairy Spirit again in the short term.

Just as her fear and confusion intertwined, the stone slab could not withstand the mysterious force, shattering violently into pieces that flew everywhere, symbolizing the destruction of the last sliver of hope in her heart.

Princess Luna stood frozen in place, as if time had stopped at that moment.

Thinking that she might never be able to contact the Luna Fairy Spirit again, her heart sank into an endless abyss, and her emotions were on the verge of collapse.

"Why?!"

She let out a heart-wrenching question, her rage and unwillingness erupting from her core like a volcano.

Following this roar, dense golden runes suddenly appeared around her body, shining brightly like stars yet emitting a dangerous aura.

Seville, standing nearby, saw this and his expression drastically changed, a panic he had never felt before surging in his heart.

"Your Highness, your Seal is about to break! Calm down quickly."

Princess Luna, who also noticed this, realized she must immediately control this power that was about to spiral out of control.

She quickly took out a bottle of precious sedative potion from her bosom and drank it without hesitation.

The potion took effect rapidly. Her emotions gradually calmed down, and the restless golden runes around her slowly dissipated.

"Phew, that was close. The Seal almost lost control," Seville muttered, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, still shaken.

Although the crisis was temporarily averted, he could sense that the anger in Princess Luna's heart had not completely subsided. The suppressed power still caused the surrounding air to solidify.

"Why did the stone slab break?!"

"Why?!"

As she spoke, Princess Luna's emotions became slightly uncontrollable again.

Her tightly clenched fist unconsciously increased its force, actually tearing subtle cracks in the Void Realm.
