Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Chapter 372: Chapter 265: The Unfathomable Edith, Forbidden Magic: Fall of Heaven

"Why is this happening..."

Lucia murmured to herself, her heart filled with confusion.

She had interacted with Ivsha before and knew that while Ivsha could use the Light Element and Divine Magic, her mastery was limited to the lower levels, High Tier at best.

Such Magic didn’t touch upon the source of Light, so it was theoretically possible.

However, the Magic Edith was releasing had already reached the level of Forbidden Magic.

Even in the Bright Church Court, only three Demigod Level experts could master Magic of this level, and such spells were never taught to outsiders.

’But why?’

’Could Edith, a Succubus from the Abyss, actually cast it?’

While everyone was lost in shock and doubt, the angelic apparitions within the Magic Array suddenly sprang into action. They drew their bows, aiming at the Night Witch and the King of the Stars.

The arrows they used were unique, seemingly forged from pure Light Element. The arrowheads, however, were shaped like skulls, exuding a bizarre and powerful aura.

"Fall of Heaven~"

As Edith softly chanted the Magic Spell, countless arrows shot toward the Night Witch and the King of the Stars like a violent storm, engulfing their figures in the downpour.

Su Xuan couldn’t see clearly into the center of the arrow storm, but he could hear the roars of a Giant Dragon and the cries of a Phoenix rising and falling.

Occasionally, a black mist would try to spread out, only to be instantly purified by the golden rain of arrows and dissipate into nothing.

The Forbidden Magic lasted for about a minute before it finally subsided.

When calm returned, the figures of the Night Witch and the King of the Stars had vanished completely, leaving only a golden crown floating alone in the sky.

"Is it over?" Su Xuan asked, turning to Edith with a hint of uncertainty.

Although he could no longer sense the Night Witch’s presence, he was cautious and wanted confirmation from Edith.

"It was just a remnant shadow of the Night Witch. Nothing too difficult to handle."

Edith chuckled softly. With a wave of her delicate hand, the floating crown gently descended into her grasp.

Su Xuan glanced at the crown, and a prompt appeared in his vision:

[Star Crown (Legendary): A crown that symbolizes the stars.]

Then, he asked Edith, "What should be done with Vivian?"

Su Xuan knew that Edith wanted the Second Princess, Catherine, to inherit the throne of the Star Kingdom so she could control the entire kingdom from behind the scenes.

’For Vivian, the most likely outcome is either death or exile.’

"Her?"

Edith’s gaze shifted to the barely breathing Vivian, who was lying in Su Xuan’s Dragon Claw. "Give her to me," she said calmly. "She still has her uses."

"Okay." Su Xuan nodded in agreement and handed Vivian over to Edith.

Then, he released the Fusion with Mare Rhine.

Mare Rhine soared through the sky once more in her Giant Dragon form, and Lucia and the others returned to the dragon’s back.

Seeing Lucia, Edith reminded her, "According to our agreement, I’ll leave the next part to you, Miss Lucia."

"..."

Lucia didn’t respond verbally, merely nodding slightly before walking straight to Vanessa and whispering a few words in her ear.

"I understand," Vanessa agreed softly and turned to leave.

But as she left, she glanced at Su Xuan, her eyes holding a trace of... hostility?

Curious, Su Xuan approached Lucia and asked, "What exactly was the agreement you two made?"

Lucia gave him a cool glance and explained calmly, "The Bright Church Court will take responsibility for the crime of killing the monarch of the Star Kingdom. The King of the Stars will be judged as a follower of the Night Witch."

"I see." Su Xuan nodded thoughtfully, his gaze shifting downward.

He saw Vanessa already negotiating with the various nobles of the Star Kingdom’s Royal Family. Although they had witnessed the old King being killed, they had also seen the Night Witch.

Therefore, the death of the King of the Stars was ultimately blamed on a plot by the Night Witch.

"However..." Lucia’s tone changed. A trace of doubt appeared on her delicate, pretty face as she looked toward Edith in the distance.

Su Xuan noticed her change in demeanor and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Lucia frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "It’s as if she knew how things would unfold from the very beginning. Everything has been within her predictions."

"..."

Su Xuan watched Edith silently, lost in thought.

Lucia’s suspicion was reasonable. It was as if Edith was holding a script, guiding the course of events all along, making everything proceed with unnatural smoothness.

Edith, however, didn’t notice Su Xuan’s stare. Her gaze was focused solely on Vivian.

Vivian had already awoken from her coma. But after enduring the blessing of the Power of the Stars and Su Xuan’s brutal baptism, she felt excruciating pain from every inch of her skin.

She struggled to get up but found that even this simple movement was incredibly difficult.

Edith walked toward Vivian with a blank expression, her voice calm and cold. "Princess Vivian, you’ve lost."

"You..."

Vivian raised her head, a flicker of indignation and anger in her eyes, but it was overshadowed by powerlessness and despair.

She bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "You won!"

Vivian knew in her heart that the moment the Star’s blessing was shattered, everything had become irreversible.

’But what would success have mattered?’

’She would have only become a sacrifice to resurrect the Night Witch anyway.’

’From beginning to end, her only outcome was failure.’

Edith said nothing more. She raised her hand slightly, as if preparing to do something to Vivian.

Just then, a butterfly made of ice suddenly flew over, attempting to stop her.

"Hm?"

Edith merely gave it a cool glance, and the crystal-clear ice butterfly instantly shattered into countless glittering fragments.

Immediately after, the Ice Knight, Bing Lan, appeared silently behind her, the longsword in her hand exuding a biting chill.

She shouted coldly, "Get away from her!"

As the longsword swung down, a cold glint flashed in Edith’s bewitching red eyes.

Before the blade could even touch her skin, Bing Lan was sent flying several meters by an invisible force, tumbling across the ground several times before she managed to stabilize herself.

"This... How is this possible? How can she be so strong..."

Bing Lan spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes filled with incredulous shock.

She had never imagined that Lady Edith’s power was so unfathomable. She was utterly powerless before her!

’I can’t even take a single move from her?’

"Stay put."

Edith’s tone was icy. Her gaze merely swept over Bing Lan, but it instantly filled Bing Lan’s heart with an indescribable fear, as if she were bound by invisible shackles, unable to move.

Then, Edith’s gaze returned to Princess Vivian.

With a flick of her fingertip, a blood-red rose quietly materialized and advanced toward Vivian step by step.

Vivian was powerless to resist, only able to watch as Edith slowly implanted the blood-red rose into her forehead.

However, the moment the rose was implanted between her brows, a flash of surprise crossed Edith’s face.

She was astonished to discover a layer of black mist encircling Vivian’s soul, forming a solid protective barrier.

Upon seeing this, she suddenly understood something. The corners of her lips curved into an enigmatic smile as she murmured to herself, "So that’s how it is~ I didn’t expect an unexpected bonus at the end of the story. How interesting~"

After speaking, Edith slowly stood up and waved her delicate hand.

Instantly, a giant rose bloomed beside Vivian, gently enveloping her body within it.

The same happened to the Ice Knight, who was also enveloped by rose petals.

After doing all this, Edith turned to Su Xuan and said, "Come, follow me to Lan Kai’s treasury. It’s time we collected our spoils of war."

At that moment, Su Xuan was checking on Rosaline’s injuries. She had fought with Bing Lan for a while in the Infinite Sword System. Although she couldn’t defeat her, she had managed to stall the Level 86 Star Knight with her Domain Power.

Of course, this was only possible because Bing Lan hadn’t intended to kill her.

"Mm."

Su Xuan responded, then gave a few instructions to Ivsha and the others before following Edith toward the Abyss.

Just as he was about to step into the Teleportation Gate to the Abyss, Edith’s voice sounded softly in his ear. "Have Ivsha come along, too. It just so happens that I want to teach you two some things personally."

Su Xuan: "Hm?"
