Crown of Silence

Chapter 86 Winner

Mirror! Mirror! Mirror! Mirror! Mirror! Mirror! Mirror!

In the field, the matrix that was rotating and blooming like a lotus finally revealed its appearance.

Seventeen real ‘mirrors’ were suspended in the air, forming a matrix, as if they were still running on the ‘copper track’, changing their shapes along the non-existent track.

Just like the lotus changing and opening in the rain, they were closely combined with each other, emptying Edmund in it, and transforming into many reflections.

This was the only note ‘mirror’ that Ye Qingxuan could cast instantly, and it was also one of his greatest achievements in the past ten days.

After that night, this only rune left in his memory had been deeply engraved in his mind and became instinct. Now with the help of the double snake timepiece, he was finally able to reach the level of ‘instantaneous note casting’. When using mercury as the chanting consumables, he even created a matrix that was no different from the mirror in the lighthouse.

But just such a note, now, it seems to be useless.

In the faintly surging heat, Edmund was also stunned. He was not sure that Ye Qingxuan's final counterattack was actually this kind of thing.

"Do you think this kind of thing can stop my dragon breath?!"

He was a little unbelievable.

"Just kidding, of course it can't be stopped."

Ye Qingxuan shook his head calmly: "But you still have time to stop now..."

"Then go to hell!"

Edmund interrupted him, raised his palm, and his eyes were full of ferocity.

On his ring, the amber that had accumulated to the extreme had turned red, and the next moment, the dragon breath of destruction was about to burst out.

Outside the field, some students had covered their eyes and couldn't bear to watch.

But Brian finally reacted, his face changed drastically:

"Edmund, stop!"

"Too late."

Dominic grinned and gloated. The barrier that isolates the sound inside and outside is you who added it yourself, and it has nothing to do with others.

-

In the circle of the body-eating snake, the ether surged wildly.

The explosive red light lit up in the amber. In just a moment, the shocking red stung everyone's eyes. The fierce heat tilted in all directions, and the invisible and intangible barrier also revealed its own shape in the impact of this aftermath, restraining the blazing light.

Just the precursor before the release was so amazing.

Edmund tried his best to guide the ether, but when he looked up, he saw the smile on Ye Qingxuan's mouth through the layer of red fire.

—— So compassionate, so mocking.

In full view of the crowd, Ye Qingxuan raised his palm and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the static mirror matrix rotated and ran rapidly. The precision machinery designed by the self-cult was now repeated in the form of ether.

Seventeen mirror images shining with silver light closed in an instant, without the sparks of friction when colliding with each other, without the sharp sound and flying sparks of gear rotation and winch operation.

In silence, the matrix changed like a lotus and closed quietly.

At that moment, the endless red light disappeared.

Instead, there was a scream that made everyone's scalp numb.

"Ah!!!!!!"

-

In an instant, the seventeen mirrors formed a closed matrix, which contained all the light and heat. In the blink of an eye, the terrifying high temperature burned the mirror to red. It was like a furnace was about to be burned through. Through the thin barrier, you could see the iron and copper boiling in the flames.

The dragon's breath had not yet been released, and the high heat contained in the light was enough to evaporate the effect of the "mirror" in an instant.

But in the blink of an eye, it was enough for the matrix that was supposed to be erected around the lighthouse to refract and amplify the light thousands of times, turning it into a furnace.

That was the "matrix model" built by the cult. It was just a prototype, but it was enough to turn a line of light into a lighthouse that pierced the night and released a thousand feet of light!

The mirror matrix only lasted for a moment in that terrible environment before it was shattered.

And all the light, heat and high temperature had disappeared without a trace.

The dragon breath that was about to be ejected stopped abruptly and lost control. And the ether that gathered like a raging tide collapsed before it had time to burn, and dissipated silently.

Only Edmund, who was charred all over, fell to the ground.

"My eyes! My eyes!"

He covered his face with his burned palms and groped his own body, but he could only touch the skin that was burned in an instant and the clothes that were almost charred.

"What did you do? What did you do!"

He screamed madly, blood oozing from his face, extremely hideous: "You bastard, what did you do to me?!"

"I just let you experience the feeling of being a 'lighthouse'."

Ye Qingxuan walked in front of him, bent down and looked at him: "How does it feel to shine and heat? I hope you can be like a lighthouse in the future and be a useful person to society."

"Ye Qingxuan!"

Edmund heard the boy's voice and roared hoarsely: "Ye Qingxuan!! I will kill you!"

His expression was so distorted that his charcoal-like skin was broken, and blood-stained transparent liquid was deeply embedded.

"Edmund! Calm down!"

The barrier of the circle of the body-eating snake shattered in an instant, and Brad rushed in, panicking, and sprinkled the healing potion on him to keep him alive.

"Where is the holy chanter?! Where is the holy chanter!"

He looked around in panic, forgetting that he had already transferred the hymnist who was always in the practice field to cooperate with Edmund's plan.

"How could you be so cruel?!" He glared at Ye Qingxuan, almost unable to contain his panic.

"Hehe."

Ye Qingxuan just shrugged: "The challenge of the chief student is 'not prohibited' for injuries... Didn't you say that, teacher?"

"You!" Brad's expression was livid, speechless. He glanced at the student coldly, turned his head and picked up Edmund with Edmund's companions, wanting to send him to the infirmary.

But someone stopped them in front of them.

"Don't worry, teacher."

Charles stopped him and broke his idea of ​​​​getting away with it. Seeing his panic, Charles laughed: "The last game, you haven't announced the result yet."

"You are still entangled in this at this time!"

His eyes moved, unwilling to give a direct result.

"Really?"

Charles patted his shoulder with a smile: "Then you go ahead and do your work. Just now when I was strolling around, I happened to meet an old man, and he seemed very dissatisfied with you."

Brian was stunned for a moment and looked back. In the shadows, Dominic looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word. For some reason, being stared at by this pair of eyes, Brian's forehead was sweating.

Under the gaze of everyone, his expression twitched. In the end, he had no choice but to give in and announced with gritted teeth:

"The tenth game, the winner, Ye Qingxuan!"

In an instant, the silent crowd cheered like a tide. After witnessing the whole miraculous process, everyone couldn't help but feel the ups and downs and excitement in their hearts, and almost jumped up.

In the crowd, Bai Xi screamed excitedly.

She cheered, turned around, and looked at Ye Qingxuan in the field.

In the circle of the body-eating snake, she only saw the lonely back of the boy.

As if he had noticed her gaze, Ye Qingxuan turned around, saw her smiling face, and gave her a thumbs up, and smiled tiredly.

In the girl's stunned eyes, the white-haired boy fell to the ground silently.

He fainted.

At the entrance of the underground palace, Yunlou Chaoyue quietly stared at the end of this duel, with no sadness or joy on his face. It was like looking at the reflection of a mirage in the sky, staring at an illusion.

"A group of people who don't know etiquette, they actually killed the princess in front of you, ruining the nature of your tour."

Beside him, Sidney, wiping his sweat, whispered, "Please don't misunderstand, this kind of scum is a minority in the academy after all, and the real academy elites are gentlemen who abide by etiquette. We have also arranged a dinner for you this year, you will definitely..."

The girl seemed not to hear it, but just stared at the center of the square, the fainted boy, and the girl who hugged him with a panicked face.

As if she had never seen such a scene before, her indifferent eyes also became stunned and more puzzled.

In the square, Bai Xi seemed to raise her eyes unintentionally and looked in the direction of the girl.

Across the dense crowd, for a moment, their sights converged through the narrow gap and saw each other's faces clearly.

Noble and embarrassed, indifferent and panic, mature and immature...

One looked like a princess, and the other didn't.

After a snap of a finger, the crowd closed again, and the little girl seemed to be submerged by the sea and disappeared.

The girl subconsciously took a step forward and hesitated again.

The other step was not taken after all.

After a long time, Yunlou Chaoyue slowly turned around and let the little girl disappear in the crowd.

"Maybe this is good..."

She whispered softly.

"Hmm? Miss Chaoyue, what did you say?" Sidney didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing."

She shook her head coldly, and suddenly whispered: "I think I'm leaving. Goodbye, Mr. Sidney."

"Miss Chaoyue, Miss Chaoyue!"

Sidney was stunned, subconsciously chased after her, and grabbed the girl's sleeve: "Where exactly is it..."

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't continue, because the girl turned around and looked at him silently.

There was no obvious anger in those eyes, nor was there any blatant disgust, just indifference.

It was like being high above, looking down at the world from the sky behind the clouds, so it reflected the ugliness and arrogance of human beings.

Being looked at by those eyes, he subconsciously let go of his hand, took a step back, and was at a loss: "No, I, I didn't mean it..."

The girl said nothing more and turned away.
