Mei Failed Every Attempt for Seven Days as the Flame-Chasers Took Turns Blocking Her Way

Elysia stood at the edge of the lightning, her skirt billowing in the air currents, yet she did nothing to stop it.

She simply watched as Mei rushed into the crack.

For the first time, an unconcealable sadness surfaced in those beautiful eyes.

"Really."

Even knowing the answer, you still desperately search for another.

Outside the Light Screen, Ning Rongrong's expression turned grim.

"Even Elysia said so, is Mei really out of options?"

"Not necessarily."

Huo Yuhao stared intently at the crack.

There's a detail in Elysia's words.

Bei Bei immediately asked, "What details?"

She said Apponia saw the endpoint of connecting with the world, not an outcome that was absolutely unchangeable.

Huo Yuhao's Divine Power slowly spread.

"This means that destiny doesn't fall from the sky; Mei has to keep getting closer to it herself."

Xu Sanshi slapped his thigh.

"Then what are we waiting for? As long as we don't let her get close and don't let her see Apponia, isn't that enough?"

Tang San shook his head.

"The problem is, Mei already knows that someone might die because of her."

"She won't stop."

Gu Yuena's silver eyes turned slightly cold.

"Her personality had already dictated that."

Tang Wulin frowned and said, "If even Elysia won't help her, do you think the other Flame-Chasers will just stand by and do nothing?"

The answer appeared quickly on the Light Screen.

Beyond the crack lay a long and dark passage.

Mei hurried along.

Instead of returning to the familiar area, she rushed straight towards the deepest part of the Elysian Realm.

Before her, frost spread silently.

A tall figure stood at the end of the passage.

White hair, black clothes, a long sword hanging limply at his side.

Kevin raised his eyes.

"Go back."

Mei's speed did not slow down in the slightest.

"Get out of the way."

"Cannot."

"That's my business."

"The affairs of the Elysian Realm are the affairs of all Flame-Chasers."

Kevin raised his longsword.

In an instant, the temperature in the entire passage plummeted.

Absolute Zero has arrived.

The moisture in the air condensed into countless Ice Crystal, and lightning flashed continuously on Mei's blade, only to be frozen inch by inch by the chill.

She suddenly swung her knife.

The moment the blade flashed, it transformed into a shower of purple ice shards.

Mei swayed and forced her way through the frost, but stopped ten steps away from Kevin.

It's not that she doesn't want to move forward.

Instead, the ground beneath their feet had frozen into an unshakeable, frigid prison.

"Kevin!"

Mei retorted sharply, "You believe her prophecy too?"

"Believe."

So you're going to trap me here?

I'm stopping you.

"Stop me from changing the ending?"

"To stop you from reaching the end prematurely."

Kevin's voice was flat.

"Apponia has issued Discipline: You may not enter the depths of the Realm."

What if I insist on going in?

Kevin slowly raised his sword.

The ice along the entire passage vibrated simultaneously.

"Then defeat me."

Lightning surged in Mei's eyes.

The next moment, both figures vanished simultaneously.

Boom boom boom!

Purple lightning and icy sword light collided repeatedly in the passage, shattering the ice only to have it instantly reform.

With each step Mei took, she endured dozens of ice blades.

Kevin remained in his way, like an insurmountable snow-capped mountain.

Finally, Mei knelt on the ice, using her long sword to support her body.

Kevin's sword tip stopped just before her brow.

You lost.

"Not yet."

Mei raised her hand and slashed at the ice.

Kevin frowned slightly.

Frost spread along the blade, instantly wrapping around Mei's arm and pinning her to the spot.

"Your enemy is not me."

Kevin sheathed his sword.

"It's a future you refuse to accept."

Mei and looked up.

"The future is not something to be accepted."

"Then keep struggling."

Kevin turned around.

"But no matter where you go, Flame-Chasers's Memory Entity will stop you."

The Light Screen suddenly switched images.

Mei broke free from the Ice Seal and rushed into a realm of crimson flames.

A blazing pillar of fire rose from the ground, and Lie Yan figure blocked her way.

"I'm sorry, Mei."

The cherry-colored blade flashed past from the side, but was forcefully forced back by the flaming Long Spear.

Then, Qian Jie burst forth from the sea of fire, laughing maniacally.

"Want to see Apponia? You'll have to crawl over here first!"

Mei dodged the explosive punch to the side, and the entire mountain wall behind her was blasted into dust.

She didn't linger in the fight, using the lightning to rush upwards, only to have her path blocked by sharp golden feather blades.

Su's voice echoed in the Void.

Every path you've taken has been recorded.

"Give up."

Mei her sword and shattered the feather blade.

I will not give up!

She braved the flames, broke through the illusions, and tore open the labyrinth.

But no matter where she went, there was always a Flame-Chasers Memory Entity standing in front of her.

Someone is using a sword.

Someone is using fire.

Someone has obscured her path with illusions.

Someone used psychological manipulation to suppress her will.

Even the Memory Entity that would normally converse with her silently drew their weapons after the Discipline were invoked.

The Elysian Realm seemed to have turned into a giant cage at this moment.

Mei is a prisoner trapped within it.

She failed time and time again.

Starting over again and again.

His clothes were torn, his arms were stained with blood, and the lightning was no longer as dazzling as it had been at first.

But she never stopped.

Day 7.

She burst into a silent corridor, where Apponia's image appeared on the wall.

The figure had its eyes closed and its hands clasped in front of its chest.

"Apponia!"

Mei rushed to the end of the corridor.

"Come out and see me!"

The echoes reverberated in layers.

There was no response.

"You said I would die at your hands in ten days, then come out here and tell me why!"

There has still been no response.

Mei raised her sword and slashed at the wall.

Boom!

The wall shattered, revealing endless darkness behind it.

But Apponia's figure had already disappeared.

Only a calm sentence remained, echoing throughout the corridor.

"Mei, don't look for me anymore."

"Why?"

Because you already know the answer.

"I have no idea!"

You know.

"I have no idea!"

Mei suddenly swung her sword, and the lightning illuminated the surroundings in a ghastly white light.

"All I know is that someone will die! All I know is that you've driven me down this path! If this is what you call fate, then I'll destroy it!"

Apponia did not appear in the darkness.

You'll only destroy yourself.

That's better than doing nothing!

"So, you will die."

These words, like an invisible needle, pierced Mei's last line of defense.

She stood in the middle of the shattered corridor, her chest heaving violently.

It turns out that from day one, Apponia never intended to fight her.

She didn't even need to show up.

The entire Elysian Realm, all the Memory Entity of Flame-Chasers, all the Discipline that block the way, are all doing the same thing for her...

They trapped Mei in a cage leading to death.

Day 9.

Mei once again ventured into the depths of the Realm.

This time, she did not swing the knife.
