The eldest princess's hands were shaking a little.
Not only has she never skinned or cut off a limb, she has never even killed anyone.
Aiwass thought with some regret and some relief.
When her slightly trembling knife tip penetrated Aiwass's skin, Aiwass realized that she was a novice. The skinning was okay, although part of the flesh was peeled off, which made Aiwass cry out in extreme pain... But when it came to the severed limbs, she could hardly proceed.
Perhaps it was because Aiwass's scream was so miserable that she was so frightened that she was trembling all over. She had no strength to cut off Aiwass's hands, and even started crying herself.
Aiwass had no choice but to give Noelle a bloody hug. He comforted and encouraged me in a good voice for a while.
“Don’t you want courage?”
Aiwass said gently: “Then I will give you courage.”
He didn’t mean to To speak so gently, it was because of the pain of being skinned by a novice before that he became too weak and lost his strength. Aiwass' pain was not diluted or weakened, otherwise the pastoral approach would lose its effectiveness.
"...What is your name in reality?"
It was obviously the plan proposed by Aiwass himself, but after hearing his screams, Noelle still softened-- —In other words, I was a little frightened.
She couldn't help but said: "I will find a way to compensate you..."
Aiwass just showed a mysterious smile: "That's not necessary, Your Highness. You You can’t give me any compensation.”
In the end, Noelle decided.
She used the ability of the Balanced Path to strengthen the ceremonial knife in her hand. She quickly cut through the mess and cut off Aiwass's limbs, and then cut off his head neatly.
She just didn’t want to hear the wailing anymore. But such quick movements actually made the pain less.
When Aiwass’s head flew out, there was still intense pain in his brain.
But he was just praying with his eyes closed, and a line of blood and tears flowed from his empty left eye socket:
"I offer the wings of freedom to the host of the banquet...
< p>"As the host of the banquet, I offer my pure wrists..."As the host of the banquet, I offer my dancing feet..."
And in Noelle's shocked eyes , she saw the remains cut off by Aiwass flying up one after another, surrounding the beautiful statue of Si Zhu, exploding and turning into a blood mist that filled the sky, dyeing Si Zhu completely scarlet.
Aiwass’ flying head drew a strange arc and landed on Si Zhu’s head.
One of his eyes is closed, and a pure white flower grows out of the other eye, which looks strange and compassionate.
His right eye continued to grow black thorns, which wrapped around Si Zhu's body, which had turned red, and finally made up for the last piece of bright red that Si Zhu's body lacked. The white candlestick was originally strangeThe strangely cheerful smile became compassionate even after being soaked in blood.
Beautiful white flowers also bloomed from the black thorns, completely hiding Aiwass’s head from behind.
The next moment, all the candles on Si Zhu’s head also lit up, igniting pure white flames.
The light that was enough to illuminate the heaven and earth revealed a hint of iridescent light in the blood mist, looking like a sacred halo.
The bodies of the guests and musicians killed by Aiwass burst into flames at the same moment - but it was a bright red flame.
Their burning corpses suddenly got up from the ground, raising their hands as if they were holding wine glasses; they bowed or caressed their chests, towards Si Zhu, or Si Zhu Aiwas tribute on the head.
Then, the guests embraced each other passionately in the flames, and the musicians played a cheerful and enthusiastic final song.
Dance, dance, dance crazily——
An increasingly wild dance, a completely desperate dance.
Noelle stared at this scene blankly.
This time their dance had no rules and no skills at all. Everyone danced according to their own ideas, and the musicians' music was no longer in sync... But this messy feeling did not give people a chaotic and noisy feeling. Instead, it gave Noel an unusual sense of shock.
Suddenly, she was pulled into the center of the dance floor by "someone".
That was a blond young man in his twenties.
There was a huge wound on his neck, but there was a warm and cheerful smile on his face.
In the royal court of Star Antimony, Noel had never seen anyone with such a smile except the clown Lalo.
Everyone seems to have some sad stories, either frowning or keeping a straight face. Everyone has a lot on their mind and is always quarreling with each other.
"...Why are everyone so happy?"
The eldest princess couldn't help but ask after being pulled into a funny dance.
But the other party did not answer her.
However, the young man was not a mindless undead - he stretched out his hand, made a gesture on his face, stroked the corner of his mouth with one hand, and smiled upward.
Then the other party pulled her into a carnival dance.
The flames on his body did not spread to Noelle...or rather, the flames only made her feel warm. It's like putting on warm and dry clothes after getting out in the rain.
First the clothes on his body burned and turned into nothing. Then came skin and flesh.
When the song ended, both the guests and the musicians were left with only skeletons.
The screen began to slow down and freeze.
Aiwass watched all this.
Although his head was severed, he stillStill "alive".
His body is transparent and luminous, extremely conspicuous.
But at this moment Aiwass was standing behind Noelle, but she did not see Aiwass.
And on the other side...
Aiwass looked at the petrified Andrea.
She did not float out of her soul.
Sure enough, as long as she is not completely "killed" but only controlled by means of petrification, freezing, sealing, etc., she has nothing to do with this promotion ceremony.
Just like the children of the moon in the material world.
The best way to deal with immortality is to seal them away.
"It's just..."
Aiwass sighed in his heart.
It is indeed a candle ceremony, and it really encourages self-death.
He did not choose to sacrifice himself because he deliberately tried to figure out the thoughts of the person who asked the question. But now he is benefiting from the fact that his choice coincides with Si Zhu...
In the stagnant world, a line of words appeared in front of Aiwass again.
【Why did the guest die? ]
Immediately afterwards, three doors appeared around him.
——[Feast], [Killing], [Trial].
Now, he has no doubts.
Aiwass, in his spiritual state, pushed open the [Feast] door without hesitation.
The next moment, the whole world turned into light.
The entire world was stripped away and condensed into a complete painting.
The crimson candle wrapped around the sin thorn shines with a bright glow.
On the scarlet stage, skeletons burning with red flames were dancing and playing music passionately. Each skeleton's movements are completely different, more like a crazy and unbridled dance than a social dance.
There were also skeletons who raised their wine glasses and clinked them enthusiastically. The same scarlet wine was spilled due to the fierce collision of the glasses.
That was not a banquet.
But a carnival——
[All feasts have an end. Drink the blood of fools and feast on the flesh of the feasters until the banquet is complete and the guests leave happily. Then, the host of the banquet will be perfect again and rise to the position of Tiansi. The banquet they longed for will eventually be held again, perhaps in the dream world, perhaps in the future]
[——Completed, "Endless Banquet"]
Aiwass Such a childish and solemn voice sounded in my ears. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
