Loke looked at his hands that were about to disappear and smiled sadly.
"In the past three years, I have been suffering from the pain of depletion of magic power every day. Now, I am finally free."
He looked at Lucy with relief in his eyes.
"Thank you, Lucy. I have no regrets about meeting such a gentle Celestial Spirit Mage like you at the last moment of my life."
"Shut up!"
Lucy stood up suddenly and glared at Loke angrily.
"Do you think this is atonement? Do you think Aries will be happy like this!"
Lucy's tears burst out crazily.
She pulled out a golden key from her waist and held it high.
"I will never allow you to disappear like this!"
"Open it! Leo's door!"
Lucy shouted loudly and injected the magic power in his body into the key crazily.
However, there was only a faint ripple in the air, and nothing happened.
"It's useless, Lucy."
Loke shook his head.
"My door has been completely sealed by Spirit World."
"I don't believe it!"
Lucy gritted his teeth, desperately squeezing the magic power in his body.
"Open it! Leo's door!"
"Open it for me!!!"
Lucy's face became as pale as paper, and the severe pain caused by the overdraft of magic power made her tremble all over, but her hand holding the key refused to let go.
Loke Seeing Lucy working so hard for herself, her eyes became moist again.
"That's enough, Lucy, stop it! You will drain your magic power!"
Loke tried desperately to stand up and stop her, but his weak body simply refused to obey.
Just when Lucy was about to lose his support and his legs were weak and he was about to fall to his knees.
A warm and strong hand held her shoulder firmly.
"Lu Chongwei..."
Lucy turned his head and looked weakly at the man beside him.
"You alone are not enough."
Lu Chongwei said lightly, and then covered his right hand with Lucy's hand holding the key.
"Boom!"
An extremely violent golden magic power, as hot as the sun, followed Lu Chongwei's arm and poured into Lucy's body like a flood that broke a bank!
The magic power was so huge that the surrounding rain evaporated into white mist in an instant!
"Zhongwei brother! Are you crazy!"
Loke shouted in horror.
"Spirit World's rules are absolute! If you force your magic power to attack Spirit World's barriers, it will not only exhaust your magic power, but it will even cause you to be assimilated by Spirit World's laws and completely disappear from this world!"
Loke was so anxious that tears came out.
He didn't want to kill any more of his companions because of himself.
However, Lu Chongwei didn't even look at him.
His deep eyes were burning with raging golden flames.
"Rules?"
Lu Chongwei sneered, with a hint of tyranny in his tone.
"If the rules require me to watch my companions die, then I will burn this bullshit rule to the ground!"
He suddenly increased his magic output.
The golden flame magic is intertwined with the Celestial Spirit magic of Lucy, turning into a bright pillar of light that shoots straight into the sky!
The surrounding space began to distort and oscillate violently.
The water flow of the waterfall was abruptly cut off by this terrifying magic power, and rolled back towards the sky.
A layer of strange starlight began to glow on the surface of Lu Chongwei and Lucy's bodies, which was a sign that they were about to be assimilated by Spirit World!
"Stop it! You will die!"
Loke cried out in despair, crawling desperately on the ground, trying to pull the two away.
But Lucy held the key tightly, his eyes shining with unprecedented determination.
She raised her head and roared hysterically at the distorted sky.
"If you can't even protect your companions, what's the point Celestial Spirit Mage! If it's such a cruel rule, then it's up to me to change it!"
The roar of Lucy echoed for a long time in the night sky of heavy rain.
The moment the words fell.
Everything in the world seems to have been pressed on the pause button.
The strong wind suddenly stopped. The waterfall water that rolled back towards the sky hovered strangely in mid-air. Even the raindrops hitting the ground stopped in front of Lu Chongwei and Lucy.
Time was completely frozen at this moment.
An ancient, vast, terrifying magic power full of endless majesty slowly descended from the twisted space cracks.
"What... what's going on?"
Loke stared blankly at the still world around him, shocked.
"What a powerful sense of oppression..."
Lucy gasped for air, feeling like his heart was being pinched tightly by an invisible hand.
Only Lu Chongwei still looked calm.
His whole body was burning with faint golden flames, isolating the coercion and protecting Lucy behind him.
"Is the real owner finally willing to show up?"
Lu Chongwei Look ahead.
In mid-air in front of the waterfall, the space ripples like water waves.
An extremely large figure slowly emerged.
He wore ancient Celestial Spirit armor, held a huge sword, had a long beard, and his eyes were as deep as stars. He just stood there quietly, representing the will of the entire Spirit World.
"Star...Spirit King!"
Loke The moment he saw the person clearly, he trembled with fright and fell to his knees on the ground.
That is the supreme ruler of all Celestial Spirit, the absolute authority!
Spirit King looked down at everyone, and his eyes finally fell on Loke.
"Loke of Leo."
Spirit King's voice is like a great bell, roaring between heaven and earth.
"You have violated the unforgivable taboo of Spirit World, causing the death of the holder. Exile to the world until death is your punishment. The rules must not be changed."
Spirit King's tone was cold and emotionless.
"I understand..."
Loke lowered his head deeply, tears falling on the mud.
"I am willing to accept punishment, but please let my friends go. They are innocent."
"No!"
Lucy rushed forward and retorted loudly.
"Loke is not wrong at all! He is just trying to protect his companions! That woman named Karen doesn't regard Celestial Spirit as life at all! If Loke doesn't do that, Aries will be tortured to death by her!"
Lucy looked directly into Spirit King's huge eyes without fear.
"If protecting your companions is a sin, then this Spirit World is not worth our contract at all!"
Spirit King's eyes darkened slightly.
"Human girls, rules are rules. If the rules are changed out of sympathy, the order of Spirit World will cease to exist."
He slowly raised the giant sword in his hand, pointing the sword tip at Loke.
"His sins can only be washed away by death."
At this moment, a golden flame shot up into the sky and blocked Spirit King's giant sword.
"Old man, have you sat on this throne for too long and your brain has become rigid?"
