Chapter 143

He looked up and glanced at Sylvia's disappearing figure.

Luo Mio let out a breath.

A wisp of silvery light shimmered on her arm and slowly appeared beside Luo Mio.

"Hati, Sylvia's safety is in your hands."

He spoke to the silvery light.

The light moved slowly, as if it were speaking to Luo Mio.

Then the light quietly followed behind Sylvia and gently landed on her purple hair.

Seeing "Hati" land on Sylvia, Luo Mio slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, a doubt arose.

Even though Sylvia had already changed her clothes, Varda's expression suggested that she had seen through Sylvia's disguise.

Luo Mio pondered.

Why target Sylvia at this particular time...?

"Bite--!"

Opening the Space Window, one could see Claudia looking at Luo Mio with a puzzled expression on her beautiful face.

"Mio, where are you and Sylvie now?"

Judging from her appearance, she was already waiting for Luo Mio and Sylvia in the players' room.

"This one..."

He looked up and glanced in the direction Sylvia had gone.

Luo Mio turned around and looked at Claudia.

"Sylvia said she had urgent business and needed to go back to Queen's Blade first."

After hearing Luo Mio's words, Claudia nodded, though she was confused.

"... I see."

"So where are you now...?"

"Ah..." Luo Mio smiled and said, "I just saw her off, and I'm coming back now."

"Um."

After hanging up the call and closing the Space Window, Luo Mio glanced in the direction Sylvia had left.

Looks like I need to make some preparations...

But... now...

Luo Mio turned her head and looked in the direction of the Sirius Dome on her body.

We need to focus our attention on the finals...

——

"I'm back."

Luo Mio opened the door and spoke to Claudia inside.

"Um?"

Luo Mio entered and saw someone she hadn't expected.

Today is the final, and this is his opponent.

Amagiri Ayato and Yurith.

"What are you two doing here?" Luo Mio asked them.

Yurith glanced speechlessly at Amagiri Ayato beside her.

"It was Ayato who wanted to come."

"Ah?"

Luo Mio looked at Amagiri Ayato with a puzzled expression.

"About this..." Amagiri Ayato scratched his head and pondered for a while.

Then he raised his head and looked at Luo Mio with a serious expression.

"I heard from someone... Luo Mio Ling, that you have news about my sister... Amagiri Haruka, is that right?"

"!"

Upon hearing this, both Yurith and Claudia looked at Luo Mio in surprise.

As Amagiri Ayato's partner, Yurith knew everything about him, and she had also heard about him from Sasamiya Saya Amagiri Ayato.

When Claudia invited Amagiri Ayato to enroll, she showed him a fragmented document containing information about Amagiri Haruka Amagiri Ayato, so she knew about Amagiri Ayato's older sister, Amagiri Haruka.

After hearing his words, Luo Mio was silent for a while before looking at him.

"I heard... it's that guy Diluk, right?"

"The King of Malice?!" Yurith stared at Amagiri Ayato in shock.

"Um."

Amagiri Ayato nodded and then said, "Actually, a few days ago, I asked Irene for the contact information of the King of Malice."

"Just last night... when I got back to my dorm, I received a message from him."

"It says... 'The Finality' knows more about Amagiri Haruka's information than I do.'... That's what it means."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio sighed and scratched her head.

With her azure eyes, she looked at Amagiri Ayato and said, "Diluk is right, I do know where your sister, Amagiri Haruka, is."

"!" Amagiri Ayato instantly stood up, his pale purple eyes fixed on Luo Mio.

Seeing his expression, Luo Mio said sternly, "Calm down!"

With Luo Mio's voice, Amagiri Ayato instantly calmed down, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.

"I'm sorry..." she said apologetically.

Luo Mio shook her head.

"It's okay. I know you're upset because you suddenly got news about your sister."

"Then my sister, she..." Amagiri Ayato asked.

"Don't worry, she's perfectly safe."

"It's very safe..." Amagiri Ayato bit her lip.

"So, what happened to her..."

Luo Mio nodded.

Upon hearing this, Amagiri Ayato closed his eyes.

Yurith, standing to the side, looked at him with concern.

After a while, Amagiri Ayato slowly opened her eyes and then looked at Luo Mio with a smile.

"Thank you, Luo Mio, for telling me about my sister."

Luo Mio was surprised.

Aren't you going to ask anymore?

Amagiri Ayato shook her head, her pale purple eyes filled with fighting spirit as she looked at Luo Mio.

"No need now. If we keep asking and this causes me to mess up in the game, Yurith will scold me."

"Moreover... I believe that after the competition, Luo Mio Ling will also tell me about my sister... That's my intuition."

Hearing this, Luo Mio smiled gently.

"Then! See you on the field!"

——

"Announcement! The final round of the 24th Phoenix Star Martial Festival is about to begin. All participants, please proceed to the entrance and prepare!"

The finals of the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival" have begun!

Chapter Sixty-Six: Severing All Things - The "Black Furnace Demon Sword"!

"Clatter..."

Luo Mio walked along the passageway leading to the competition stage, her azure eyes gazing at it, and she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

The finals route for the "Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival" should be similar to this one...

Thinking of this Luo Mio couldn't help but smile bitterly...

I've only been away for a short time, and I've inexplicably become sentimental...

Slowly raise your head, gently close your eyes...

As the Sword Holder, is it really a good thing for me to have emotions...?

After thinking for a while, Luo Mio opened her eyes and then put her doubts aside.

I took a step and walked towards the stage entrance.

——

Good afternoon, everyone!

In the live broadcast booth, Yanase Miko greeted the audience of Sirius.

"Finally! After seventeen days, this year's 'Phoenix Star Martial Festival' has entered its final competition!"

Fan Shizhen Chin said, "Yes, after three long weeks of intense battles, the two teams have finally stood on the stage for our final showdown."

"So...!"

"Now, please welcome our two groups of contestants to the stage!"

As the sound rang out, the main entrance gate on the west side began to slowly descend.

Amagiri Ayato and Yurith appeared.

Cheers erupted from the Sirius Dome as the two appeared.

At the same time, opposite them, the main entrance gate on the east side also began to slowly descend.

Luo Mio's figure gradually came into everyone's view.

Then, cheers even louder than those for Amagiri Ayato and Yurith resounded throughout the Sirius Dome.

Ignoring the enthusiastic cheers, Luo Mio walked onto the stage.

As Luo Mio walked onto the stage, Amagiri Ayato and Yurith also took out their "Black Furnace Demon Sword" and "Star Crown Sword".

Luo Mio looked at the two who had taken out their weapons and a smile crept onto her lips.

Then, the radiant flames of azure silver ignited in his left hand, and the "Eternal Twilight Wolves" appeared.

Upon seeing this, Yurith's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"It only appeared on the left hand..."

Having watched Luo Mio's matches, Yurith knew that Luo Mio's "Eternal Twilight Wolves" had two forms: one was a gauntlet and the other was a pair of silver wolves.

Currently, Luo Mio only has a gauntlet on her left hand, so what about the other...?

With that in mind, Yurith began to look around the stage.

He whispered, "Ayato..."

Amagiri Ayato nodded.

"I know..."

Across from them, Luo Mio watched their movements and knew what they were thinking.
