[That attack just now was definitely not something that could be unleashed by an ordinary ' Starlight '.]
Yao Di, still shaken, held up the notice board and told Aidan.
Aidan frowned slightly, looking up at the torn passage, a sudden tension rising in her heart.
"Then it's highly likely that the [ Heroic Spirit ] is about to arrive..."
Why did the final boss arrive so quickly?
Holding up the notice board, Yao Di surprisingly uttered a comment that was half sarcastic and half joking.
His actions clearly indicate that he considers Aidan a friend.
Seeing this, even the usually taciturn Aidan started joking with a smile.
"Yeah, shouldn't we bring more mobs to help us level up...?"
After saying this, the man and woman exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
Soon, Aidan's expression turned serious again.
"The [ Heroic Spirit's] abilities are too unique; I'm afraid only I can contend with them."
[You don't stutter anymore!]
"Oh, really!"
Aidan blushed as she realized that she hadn't stuttered at all!
"Maybe... it's because I'm not nervous at all when I talk to you."
Yao Di blushed slightly, lowered her head, and dared not look at Aidan.
Aidan took another deep breath, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a golden, cicada-like creature.
"Please keep an eye on Xiao Huan. It's currently going through a molting period, similar to hibernation, so it's best not to disturb it."
Yao Di nodded and took Xiao Huan from her hands.
"Alright... you should find a safe place to hide too. This level of fighting could easily affect you..."
Hearing faint running sounds coming from the passageway, Aidan, with his back to Yao Di, spoke with an unprecedentedly solemn tone.
At the same time, a pair of huge, multicolored pixelated wings slowly grew from behind him, and an ordinary pixelated knife appeared in Aidan's hand.
Yao Di put Xiao Huan into her hoodie pocket, hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke with difficulty.
Be careful...
Aidan's heart skipped a beat, and then he nodded heavily twice.
Yao Di turned and ran away, while Aidan also assumed a fighting stance.
But after running only a few steps, Yao Di seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned around to face Aidan again.
"Ai... Aidan!"
The girl's voice sounded strange, yet beautiful, because she hadn't spoken for many years.
Aidan immediately turned around.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yao Di reached out and swept her bangs back.
Aidan was stunned.
Beneath her bangs were a pair of beautiful, sparkling purple eyes, like amethyst crystals. These eyes seemed not to belong to a human; just one glance was enough to make one's heart leap.
Her eyes were sparkling with shyness and embarrassment.
"What did my eyes... see...?"
Aidan snapped out of her daze, looked closely into those eyes, and then answered earnestly.
"As white as a sheet of paper, so white it seems inhuman, and so fragile, the result of years of ravages..."
Yao Di smiled upon hearing the other person's reply.
She smiled radiantly; she had never been so happy in her life.
Without saying a word, she took out an Ender Pearl, threw it into the distance, and left the area.
Now, only Aidan remains in the entire area.
That's not the case anymore.
Aidan sensed the person behind her, touched her wildly beating heart, and took a few deep breaths.
'No problem, definitely no problem! I've fought the [Five Calamities] before, there won't be any problems!'
Aidan gave herself a few reassurances, then slowly turned around to face her enemy...
Upon seeing the other person clearly, Aidan's eyes widened instantly, and he froze like a statue, completely petrified.
The hand holding the knife trembled incessantly.
His expression changed from initial blankness to pain and disbelief.
"How is this possible... Why, [ Heroic Spirit ]... is... a child..."
Standing before Aidan was Tenten, panting heavily and gripping Tiantian straight sword tightly in both hands.
Aidan involuntarily took a step back, his heart vehemently rejecting the fight.
He could accept being forced to kill someone... and he could also accept his boss Hela, killing children...
But he could never accept that he had killed a child!
Tiantian stared at the intruder in front of her, a hint of confusion showing on her slightly nervous face.
That man doesn't seem to want to fight me?
"Mom and Dad, this older brother in front of me is so strange... I don't think he's a bad person."
" Lü Weitian!"
A female voice, the kind only Tiantian could hear, shouted in my ear.
"Look around at all the dead people; they were all killed by this 'brother' in front of you."
Tiantian shuddered, her uneasy eyes scanning her surroundings.
Corpses, blood, severed limbs—the vast living space was filled with these crimson things.
These... were all forged by people Tiantian knew before...
Such a bloody and gruesome scene made thirteen-year-old Lü Weitian feel extremely nauseous.
He suppressed the urge to vomit and looked at Aidan without hesitation.
Aidan's heart was still pounding wildly, and he began to breathe heavily, with beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.
The next moment, Aidan suddenly felt a slash flash across his neck.
A hideous and terrifying slash mark suddenly appeared on the wall behind him, which was made of metal without any special material.
A red pixelated heart floated behind Aidan, and Aidan subconsciously shifted the position of the pixelated heart.
The very next second, another huge vertical slash appeared on the steel wall behind them.
The cut was made at the exact location where the pixel heart was before it moved.
Upon discovering this, Aidan was greatly shaken. She immediately dismissed the strange thoughts in her mind and used the wings on her back to soar into the sky.
At the same time, a ghostly blue pixelated flame erupted from his right eye.
He saw... the shape of a soul.
I also saw two slashes coming straight at me.
The flying body twisted rapidly, maneuvering the pixelated heart to dodge between the two slashes.
He looked down at Lü Weitian with a gaze that seemed to Eye of Judgment.
Then, a man and two women slowly appeared around Lü Yitian.
The man was tall and wore a long leather jacket. He held a halberd in one hand and stared intently at Aidan was flying in the air.
With a gentle swing of his halberd, a massive slash was unleashed.
Just as Aidan was about to dodge, the woman in the suit standing next to the man raised her slender hands and slowly pressed them down.
A powerful repulsive force suddenly rose from above Aidan, pressing Aidan down as she flew through the air.
At the same time, the slash unleashed by the man came straight at him.
Having no other choice, Aidan raised her pixelated knife and slashed directly at the attack.
The invisible slash was sliced in two the instant it touched the knife, turning into wisps of pixels that drifted into the air.
Another girl, who looked younger and wore glasses and headphones around her neck, had her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed.
"This person seems to be able to see us."
