Mage Manual

Impossible.

Ash instantly retreated ten steps back, a distance that for the Supreme felt as close as touching distance, but he needed just a bit of distance to maintain a fleeting sense of security.

In the span of a few breaths, he had already activated three Prophetic Wonders and six Reconnaissance Miracles, his gaze sharp enough to pierce Dazzling Star’s soul, trying to find a flaw. Dazzling Star seemed a bit uneasy under his scrutiny, fiddling with her hair, but her eyes occasionally swept toward Ash, and for some reason, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, her brows and eyes smiling.

As if standing there wasn’t the Supreme of Magic reigning over the world for thousands of years, but the girl who used to follow him like a shadow every day.

If it wasn’t this moment of reunion and there were no Void Wings behind her, Ash might have tearfully accepted her revival... but her Void Wings weren’t fake.

She is both the girl and the Supreme!

"Dazzling Star."

Ash’s Void Wings fully unfurled, overwhelming Source Power formed circuit-like patterns on the Wings, extending all the way to his soul body, igniting his muscles and bones, a blaze of colorful flames rising vigorously, his whole person like a torch of Anger: "To what extent are you going to fool us!?"

Red, black, silver - Mercury Blood!

Tick.

Time was stretched to its limit, in the slow-flowing time, a drop of mercury colored blood fell slowly, as it hit the void causing ripples, time and space gradually returned to normal, but the Blood Tide Sword Intent contained in the mercury, aided by the Flowing Gold River, instantaneously spread to any corner of the star sea!

Mercury Blood, black time and space, red frenzy!

In extreme Anger, Ash hesitated not to use the theoretical three-colored Miracle, while integrating the powers of Sonia, Diya, and Weiser, transforming the star sea into the Blood Sea! The world appeared with dense lightning-like black cracks, as if it would disintegrate in the next moment, Ash pushed the Supreme Magic to its limit, even the seventh layer of the Void Realm could hardly bear it.

If the battlefield was placed in the Seven Heavens, likely none would survive outside of the Phase.

But the cost was extremely high... one-fifth of the Source Power evaporated instantly, over a hundred Technique Spirits exhausted to Death!

"Even without me, Ash, you could protect yourself well... feels a bit regrettable."

Like the first ray of light igniting the universe, the dazzling Star Radiance pierced through the bloody Sword Tide, no matter how turbulent the Tide was, crashing against the shore, it couldn’t shake the Star Radiance one bit.

Just now, Ash relied on his Void Wings to have as much upper hand, now Dazzling Star relied on her Void Wings to be equally relaxed.

"However, even though you’re strong, Ash." Dazzling Star spoke with a gentle smile: "I’m stronger now."

"By the way, don’t you think we’re very much like we were then?" She twirled around, her skirt blooming like a flower, like a girl showing off her grades to her lover: "Then I could borrow your power, now I can borrow your power too, but I’m no longer your Demon, now I’m the Supreme of Magic..."

She winked at Ash, her smile so beautiful, yet her eyes brimming with peerless arrogance: "Magic that’s mine alone, Supreme Magic!"

Starlight gradually dimmed, besides the Drama Poet’s Sun Cage, surrounding planets had vanished without a trace, yet distant Star Clusters still shone splendidly. Dazzling Star not only blocked Ash’s Mercury Blood, she even erected a Barrier to prevent the Sword Tide from spreading, defending the world she owned.

She is the most selfless and selfish person in this world, so selfless as to protect the world as something precious, so selfish as to manage the world as if it were her possession. Yet Ash had no desire to persuade or attack her, she wasn’t an Evil ambitious person, nor a kind philanthropist, she’s neither a tyrant nor a benevolent king, she’s neither an indifferent observer nor an idealistic politician, besides magic, she had almost no other desires.

Even the world was only a stepping stone on her path of Magic. Protected when needed, abandoned when not.

She was like a shell with only divinity, the ultimate individual arising from the extreme evolution of mage civilization, moral Laws meant nothing to her.

Now Ash even felt a hint of curiosity... why hasn’t the future Dazzling Star become an operator.

"What kind of trick are you playing." Ash said coldly: "Since you’ve guaranteed victory, why do you insist on imitating her to provoke me?"

"Imitating?" Dazzling Star tilted her head: "How harsh, do you think I was always imitating? Though sometimes I would..."

"You——"

"You just said I’m fooling you, so angry you attacked me, without giving me a chance to explain..." Dazzling Star sighed: "I really wasn’t deceiving you, I really am Filly."

"Would Filly fight me?" Ash sneered.

"Or should I stand here and be killed by you?" Dazzling Star pouted: "I haven’t finished talking, besides being Filly, I’m also Dazzling Star, after all you know we were always the same person."

"You probably think Dazzling Star wears a mask called ’Filly’ to perform for you, but if it were just that, how could I share your Void Wings?" Dazzling Star reached to touch her colorful tail feathers, her fingertips traced the Star Blue Sword Trace on the feathers: "You, above all, should know, if I’m fake, how could we establish and share Bonds with each other?"
