Seven Sounds · Heavenly God's Scourge (5K)

Bai Wei's words startled everyone present.

What does this mean?

Is this guy trying to simplify the upcoming battle to their next blow?

But why would he do that? Didn't he already realize that they were preparing a spell that could seal the deal? Shouldn't he have rushed in immediately to interrupt and stop them?

Given the strength he just demonstrated, it shouldn't be difficult for him to do this, right?

But why...?

Daphne's pupils narrowed slightly.

There is only one possibility.

That is, he believed that the Movement Spell he could unleash were superior to theirs.

... But how is that possible?!

Upon thinking about this, Daphne's first reaction was that the other party was simply too ignorant and arrogant.

In the Holy Sound, the power of an individual is no match for that of the group.

Even the most outstanding musician, Golden Sound, who possesses the most advanced four-tone staff, can only play music up to the fifth tone.

The magical melodies with six or seven notes can only be played by an orchestra.

The five-tone and six-tone magical music are not the same concept at all, otherwise they wouldn't have taken so long to prepare.

So what gives him the right?!

Isn't this just courting death?!

Daphne thought to herself.

However, Bai Wei's... no, to be precise, "He Wei Ni Ya's " smile at this moment.

For a long time during her childhood, He Wei Ni Ya's smile was a persistent psychological shadow for Daphne.

Some people might describe cute girls as little devils, but He Wei Ni Ya was a true devil in Daphne's heart at that time, especially her smile. Whenever Daphne saw He Wei Ni Ya smile at her, Daphne body would tremble uncontrollably.

This situation persisted for a long time until He Wei Ni Ya was allowed into the Seed Zone, which brought some relief.

The real "healing" came after He Wei Ni Ya's death. When Daphne saw the fake He Wei Ni Ya with the same face, yet able to smile innocently and harmlessly, Daphne realized that her nightmare had truly ended.

So... what's going on now?

That smile.

Why did that smile, which had startled her awake countless times in her dreams, reappear?

It's as if the ghost that should have died has returned.

It was even more intense than before, to the point that her body, which was no longer like that of a child, began to tremble as it had in childhood.

"Miss! Miss!" came the voice of the older servant from behind her, "Get out of the way!"

Daphne snapped back to reality.

She then realized that she was soaked in cold sweat without even noticing.

But the other person didn't say or do anything; they just smiled.

"Miss," the older servant noticed that Daphne's condition was not right and said in a low voice, "You may leave now, we have finished."

Is it finished?

Daphne immediately turned around and, sure enough, saw a more complex sixth-order Rubik's Cube lying across the center of the staff, exuding an aura of rage and shrieking.

[Six Sounds · Magic Cube].

This is a six-tone Rubik's Cube modified and enhanced by the Terrell family on the [Five Sounds · Magic Cube].

Although it's only a single syllable apart, the difference is enormous. Just like real magic, the difficulty increases exponentially with each additional level.

In terms of magic, the only thing that [Five Sounds · Magic Cube] can do is distort objects.

The Six Sounds · Magic Cube can twist not only objects, but also Magic Power, musical notes, and musical movements.

Once hit by the Rubik's Cube, even a spell or musical piece of the same pitch will be distorted and broken down, eventually vanishing like a human body.

Therefore, in a more direct magical collision, the advantage of [Six Sounds · Magic Cube] is huge. Its only drawback is that the casting time is too long.

But now, it is ready to be completed.

"Miss, please make way!" the older servant said again, "The spell is ready!"

... Is everything ready?

Daphne stared blankly at the level 6 Rubik's Cube, which was only slightly larger than her fist.

Is that all?

Then she heard "He Wei Ni Ya's" voice on the other side.

"Is this the answer you're asking for?" Bai Wei looked at the slowly rotating Magic Power cube and said with interest, "It seems like a pretty good spell. In that case..."

He slowly raised his staff, the musical notes engraved on his skin shining brightly.

"Let me give it a try..."

"No!" Daphne suddenly stood in front of Bai Wei and the Rubik's Cube. "We're not ready yet!"

Bai Wei paused for a moment. "Hmm?"

"Miss?!"

The older servant stared at Daphne in astonishment, not understanding what Daphne meant.

Daphne stared directly at the face that had once filled her with immense fear, and then repeated, word by word, "We are not ready."

Seeing Daphne's expression, after a brief moment of surprise, Bai Wei seemed to understand her meaning and calmly put away his staff.

"Sure," he said with a light laugh. "I can wait a little longer."

"...Thanks."

After briefly saying "thank you," Daphne turned around, walked back to the Rubik's Cube, and then spoke to the puzzled servants.

"This scale is not enough."

The older servant knew what Daphne was talking about.

The Six Sounds · Magic Cube becomes more powerful as the preparation time increases.

Right now, it's only barely reached the minimum standard of being formed.

"Miss," the older servant said, "This should be enough..."

"No, that's not enough." Daphne shook her head and then said softly, "Uncle Terri, we've staked everything the Terrell family has on this spell."

Terri's mouth opened slightly, and then he understood what Daphne meant. He then subconsciously looked at "He Wei Ni Ya" not far away.

He is still waiting there.

Faced with this powerful six-tone spell, he said nothing.

However, it put immense psychological pressure on everyone present.

Terri also knew that if their attack failed, they would absolutely not have a second chance.

Not only them, but the entire Terrell family didn't get a second chance.

Thinking of this, Terri slowly nodded. "I understand, Miss. Then I will continue to increase the injection of magic power."

"No, it's not just you." Daphne shook her head, then reached for her buttons again. "Me too."

Terri's eyes widened instantly. "Miss, you..."

With a "click".

As the buttons were undone, the long robe on her body was also removed.

Daphne stood half-naked in the snow, her skin contrasting sharply with her beautiful face and figure.

The scars and musical notes crisscrossed, making it look less like the skin of a young girl and more like the cracked skin of an old man.

When Bai Wei saw this body from a distance, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"It's... Amplification Note?"

Amplification Note are also a type of variation among engraved scales. Although they are not as rare as sheet music, they are still considered special.

Its effect is just as its name suggests: it can amplify the power of Movement Spell.

However, this is not without its costs, and those costs are the Amplification Note itself.

The higher the magnification, the greater the cost; at best, it can result in the permanent loss of musical notes, and at worst, it can endanger one's life.

Daphne walked up to the Rubik's Cube again and reached out her hand towards it.

When her hand hovered above the Rubik's Cube, the musical scale on her body immediately resonated with the cube.

The Rubik's Cube began to shake violently, and its size rapidly increased.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it climbed from the sixth rank to the eighth rank, and it continues to grow upwards.

In stark contrast to the ever-expanding magic was Daphne's condition; her face paled visibly.

It was as if she was injecting not Magic Power into the Rubik's Cube, but her own life force.

"Would you go to such lengths?" Bai Wei said softly. "That's quite interesting."

Under Bai Wei's watchful gaze, the Rubik's Cube continued to rise and grow larger.

Starting with a 6x6 Rubik's Cube, we jumped to an 8x8, then a 10x10, and then a 12x10.

Later on, there were so many that they were impossible to count, far exceeding the number of levels of the highest-level Rubik's Cube that Bai Wei remembered from his previous life.

Of course, it's not just its size and quantity that have expanded.

The frenzied and powerful musical energy contained within the Rubik's Cube made Bai Wei feel uneasy.

Oh no, it's not that he felt uneasy.

To be precise, it was He Wei Ni Ya's body.

Just as humans are naturally afraid of snakes, mages also feel uneasy when faced with such a massive amount of pure magical energy, and almost instinctively want to retreat.

Bai Wei clicked his tongue softly. "Isn't this going to backfire?"

He proposed such a direct confrontation with Daphne and the others for two reasons.

Firstly, he genuinely wanted to try out this unique Movement Spell and test just how far He Wei Ni Ya's body could go.

Secondly, he needed this reason to keep these people here. Given He Wei Ni Ya's current physical condition, if these people really wanted to run away, Bai Wei was unlikely to be able to keep them all. And if any of them escaped and spread the news about Gold Score, it would be very troublesome.

So, use this reason to keep them here, and then find a way to pull off a big one to wipe them all out.

Only...

Looking at the Rubik's Cube, which had expanded to fill the entire field of vision and was as huge as the sun, Bai Wei couldn't help but think to himself.

It seems like he's the one who'll be swept away.

... Just kidding.

The middle finger of his left hand gently tapped the staff.

As long as that finger is there, Bai Wei can't possibly lose. Just like in the game, [Terminate] is also a powerful weapon against the mages like Holy Sound.

Aside from the fact that the Seven Sounds spell is relatively difficult to interrupt, the other spells are pretty much the same, the only difference being the cost.

But at least, the price they paid was definitely less than the price they would have paid for the Rubik's Cube they painstakingly created.

The Rubik's Cube is almost finished.

Now, with just a snap of the fingers, the ambitions of this girl named Daphne, and her family, will vanish into nothingness in an instant.

All you have to do is snap your fingers.

With a "crash" sound.

Daphne, who was in the distance, suddenly knelt down on the ground, and Bai Wei's lightly tapping finger stopped, and then she looked over.

In just a few minutes, Daphne seemed like a completely different person.

Her once plump body was now so thin that you could see her bones, and even her breathing was intermittent, as if she might stop breathing at any moment.

But she didn't fall down. Instead, she forced herself to stand up and turned to look at Bai Wei.

The giant Rubik's Cube behind her was like the sun illuminating her path.

"That's fine," she said to Bai Wei.

Bai Wei remained silent for a moment, then chuckled and straightened up.

"You've really impressed me."

Bai Wei slowly raised his staff, and the Seventh Sound on the staff burst forth with brilliant golden light, along with the four Universal Notes on the staff, which were lit up one after another.

"In that case, I'll try my best."

Daphne looked at "He Wei Ni Ya".

Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that "He Wei Ni Ya" was finally getting serious.

But she was no longer afraid. Instead, she said, word by word, "I don't know who you are, but I'm telling you, I am Daphne, Daphne Terrell. My family, from me to my father to everyone else, has had enough of being subservient."

"Therefore, we must obtain that Gold Score tonight."

"No matter the cost, even death."

Bai Wei nodded slightly. "I understand."

"No." Daphne shook her head. "You don't understand. I'm talking about even death."

Daphne repeated those four words again.

She seemed to be speaking to Bai Wei, but also to someone else.

Bai Wei quickly found out who she was talking to.

The moment Daphne finished speaking, the Rubik's Cube behind her, which was almost half the size of the church, finally shot out with unstoppable force, like a thunderbolt.

Everything around it that gets grazed by its edge will immediately break into thousands of small pieces.

It seemed to want to shatter everything, and nothing could stop it.

Bai Wei then raised his staff.

But almost at the same time, a dark shadow that hadn't moved for a long time flashed in his peripheral vision in the lower left corner.

It was the player whose hand was broken by Bai Wei at the very beginning!

Bai Wei thought he was dead, but he wasn't!

He suddenly leaped up, ripped open his clothes, and the musical scales on his skin danced wildly like piano keys.

"For the family!" he roared as he charged toward Bai Wei.

Bai Wei frowned, instinctively wanting to avoid it.

However, it was far too difficult for He Wei Ni Ya, with her high attack but low defense, lack of agility, and severely injured frail body, to avoid the burly man who was determined to die.

Yes, the other person was determined to die.

Because Bai Wei saw that the musical notes on his body had also turned into chains, binding him.

He didn't want to hurt Bai Wei; he just wanted to restrict Bai Wei's movements.

It wasn't even a binding move; he just wanted to hold Bai Wei back, even if only for a second or two. As long as Bai Wei couldn't immediately unleash his spell, he would be completely disintegrated into elements by the amplified [Six Sounds · Magic Cube] that was about to hit his face!

As for himself.

Naturally, it will be decomposed before Bai Wei.

I see.

Bai Wei understood.

Daphne's words, "Even death," weren't meant for herself, but for this person.

And this person responded to Daphne very well.

Under such calculations, Bai Wei was indeed driven to a dead end.

Behind him was the church, beneath his feet lay Ariana's corpse, and before him stood the musician rushing toward him relentlessly, along with the Rubik's Cube that seemed poised to destroy the world.

There's no way to turn back now.

But,

There's no need to back up anymore.

Bai Wei raised his staff once again.

The Golden Score, which had been prepared long ago, also made a sound, like the plucked strings of a harp.

At the sound of the strings, silver musical scales suddenly flashed on the unrecognizable corpse of Ariana beneath his feet, and the silver scales on the player rushing towards him responded at the same frequency.

The next second, they disappeared from their respective bodies.

Then it appeared on Bai Wei's body, joining the golden Seventh Sound, and intertwined with the golden musical score.

The three notes played a stirring melody together, and the four Universal Notes on the staff were also awakened at the same time.

Three plus four.

A more dazzling light was reflected in Bai Wei's pupils.

"Keep a close eye on He Wei Ni Ya," he said with a light laugh. "This is how you use your body."

With a loud "boom".

The Six Sounds · Magic Cube was smashed on the church.

It was so big that when it was launched, Daphne couldn't see anything further ahead, so she was constantly on edge.

Until it finally landed completely on the church.

The dilapidated church instantly began to crumble and disintegrate.

The violent and pure Magic Power seemed capable of slicing through the air when it was unleashed.

Daphne finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems to have been a success.

No one could survive an attack like that...

Suddenly, Daphne's eyes widened.

Because she saw the Rubik's Cube stop.

The Rubik's Cube, which seemed capable of flattening and dismantling everything, suddenly stopped.

Everyone was stunned.

What's going on?

Of course, they soon found out what was going on.

As the Rubik's Cube shrinks, shrinks rapidly, its immense power is also dissipating at a visible rate.

Then they saw the thing that was blocking the Rubik's Cube.

A larger, more intricate, and complex Magic Power circle.

A magic array capable of blocking six sounds?!

Daphne couldn't believe it.

Until, as the Rubik's Cube shrank further, they saw musical notes engraved on the edge of the magic circle.

At first, only two could be seen.

As the Rubik's Cube shrinks, they can see more.

The third one,

The fourth one.

When she saw the fifth one, Daphne's breathing gradually stopped.

How could this be!

Could it be...?

Before Daphne could see anything else, she saw Terri, who was standing in front of her, suddenly turn around and look at her.

His face was filled with despair.

"Miss!" he shouted to Daphne with his last ounce of strength, "Run!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the magic circle began to rotate.

This allowed Daphne to see a corner she hadn't been able to see before.

Sixth,

And the seventh.

[Seven Sounds - Godly Ripple]

The next second, white light engulfed everything.
