They agreed to this trial out of trust towards Rayne and Alice. However, at the same time, they had to be prepared just in case.
If Alice was defeated, the teachers would step in immediately to save her from the hands of the Breaking Moon Queen.
However, it was just a joke right now.
The expressions of the teachers were strange.
Rather than Alice, it might be better for them to save the Breaking Moon Queen instead.
After all, the Breaking Moon Queen seemed like she was about to cry.
At that moment, her expression was completely contorted.
The tyrant could no longer care about her demeanor. She roared and the incantation tattoos on her body lit up with a bedazzling demonic light. As she raised her hand in anger, forbidden curses were thrown out one after another and struck the ground.
The entire venue of the ceremony was devoured by the light of the forbidden curses.
Even the Breaking Moon Queen's own tomb was affected.
However, even so...
That still could not hurt Alice.
That was because the moment the forbidden curses descended, Alice activated spatial teleportation and hid in the dimensional rift.
Relying on spatial teleportation to avoid instantaneous forbidden curses?
That action could only be described as a miracle. If she had not grasped the timing of the enemy's casting completely and understood it to its limits, there was no way Alice could have tricked the Breaking Moon Queen into releasing her instantaneous forbidden curses while hiding in the dimensional rift before they descended.
However, such miraculous and dangerous moves were repeated time and again.
The enraged Breaking Moon Queen roared hysterically, waving Anguish Bane wildly and casting forbidden curses. Her roar was like thunder that shook the hearts of every audience.
However, even so, she could not injure Alice at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce again, the Breaking Moon Queen released a bombardment of forbidden curses and roared as she closed in on Alice. She took out her lifetime's worth of attainments in sword arts and released a fatal attack.
Her sword had once killed countless quasigods.
How could someone as strong as her be played to such an extent by a new Moonlight Queen?!
She refused to believe it!
As she waved her sword, the tragic vengeful spirits that resided in Anguish Bane transformed into corporeal forms and burst forth, causing Anguish Bane to be even sharper and its damage to be even more ferocious. In fact, it seemed as though it could tear through space just by waving it through the air!
However, Alice still only took two steps forward and raised her mithril sword. Just like a fisherman waiting for a fish to be hooked, she waited for the stupid Breaking Moon Queen to bump into her.
Clang!
When Anguish Bane and the mithril sword collided, the massive sword qi torrent and bone-piercing resentment were dissipated by that simple sword strike.
Once again, this new Moonlight Queen accurately located her weakness and dispelled her killing move with ease.
At this moment, the Breaking Moon Queen was on the verge of breaking down.
She glared at Alice with a quivering gaze.
Ever since the Breaking Moon Queen died, her soul had been summoned to take part in the sacred test seven times.
For a late queen, that was an extremely low number.
All seven of them ended in a crushing defeat for the new queen.
Some of them were killed on the spot, some of them were rescued by a teacher while some of them were even killed tragically under the sword of the Breaking Moon Queen along with the teacher who attempted to save her.
The cruel and untamed Breaking Moon Queen had never imagined that she would lose one day.
But now, after being defeated time and again by the simplest moves and slow maneuvering of Alice…
A strong sense of defeat rose in her heart.
At the same time, her soul was already incomparably weak. The wisp of remnant soul that was forcefully awakened by the sacred skeleton could no longer withstand the bombardment of the mental attacks that were at the level of forbidden curses.
The fighting spirit of the Breaking Moon Queen was wearing thin and her sword was getting slower.
Gradually, she was no longer even surprised after her move was countered by Alice, as though it was only right.
The Breaking Moon Queen's emotions became extremely complicated—she knew…
She was bound to lose.
.
...
In the Moonlight Queen's study.
After sending off Alice, Rayne, who had nothing to do, was cleaning up the mess in the study.
Rayne was in a good mood today.
Alice was a good girl; a talented girl in every sense.
As long as a reward and punishment mechanism was set up, she would be able to learn the vast amount of knowledge that Rayne had summarized from hundreds of battles at a shocking speed.
It was no wonder why she was the Emerald Moon Queen.
The final Moonlight Queen of Leta who had caused Rayne endless grievances, crushing defeats and mental breakdowns in countless reincarnation cycles.
Everything that happened with Alice the previous night was still fresh in Rayne's mind. It was a pity that the night was too short and there were still many interesting play styles that he did not manage to execute. That left Rayne wanting more.
It was fine.
There were still many steps to the coronation ceremony for Alice.
The road was still long.
In reality, the reason why Rayne engaged in these love affairs with the demigods was mostly out of personal benefits—it was in exchange for their goodwill or even loyalty.
There was a strong sense of utilitarianism but few emotional factors.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the love affair with the demigods was not a form of business that Rayne had to do while pinching his nose in disgust.
He rather enjoyed the process.
For f*cks sake, those were demigods!
The desire of mortals for divinity was rooted in their genes. These high-dimensional living beings were way too dazzling and charming. Their existence was enough to disintegrate the will of a mortal and reconstruct their values.
Regarding that, Rayne was no exception.
However, when an inferior-level creature transformed its faith and admiration for a superior into an even more primitive desire…
That was rather…
Many of the things that Rayne experienced right now were extremely experiences for him.
Maneuvering his way around evil gods while engaging in relationships with demigods...
These were things that the former Rayne could not have imagined.
In truth, the former Rayne was rather pure and innocent in contrast.
In the 999 reincarnation cycles, the only person Rayne developed a relationship with was Thea Constance.
It was true that the demigods were peerlessly beautiful and captivating, allowing one to fall in love with them at first sight.
However, Rayne usually regarded them as troublesome enemies.
The foreign demigods were enemies.
His own demigods were equally untrustworthy.
However, in this reincarnation, Rayne's change of strategy opened up the door to a new world.
Apart from a slight letdown to Constance, everything else was a good experience.
Speaking of which, at this moment…
Alice must have already started fighting with the Breaking Moon Queen.
Regarding this sacred test, Rayne was extremely assured. He believed that Alice would win. Even if she lost, the Great Teacher would be by her side to protect her so that she would not die to the sword of the Breaking Moon Queen.
Rayne had already told Alice the method of dispelling all the Breaking Moon Queen's moves. Although the Breaking Moon Queen's attacks were ferocious, she was simple-minded and it was easy to see through her techniques once she was all fired up. Therefore, as long as Alice had a strategy, it was still easy to deal with the Breaking Moon Queen.
