Mage Manual

"I can somewhat guess that someone is restricting your Bonds network, which is a Wonder of Fate far beyond my imagination, so I have stayed away to avoid attracting ’their’ attention."

Dazzling Star’s voice was light:

"Until you returned from Hell, I saw that your marks of Fate had faded quite a lot, leaving only threads of Bonds. That’s when I knew no one could stop us from connecting anymore, so I tied the threads between us... Hence, I was able to borrow your Void Wings, Ash."

"How did you tie them?" Ash immediately asked.

"Ash," Dazzling Star looked at him with a mixture of tears and laughter, "neither Filly nor I could possibly support you in connecting with more women, right?"

"Dazzling Star certainly won’t let me gain more support," Ash said calmly, "but Filly will."

Dazzling Star was slightly stunned, diverted her gaze, swept the strands of hair from both sides behind her ears, unconsciously revealing a touch of gentleness: "Yes, I will, but... Dazzling Star won’t."

"So what exactly are you, Status? Split personality? Dual souls in one?" Ash asked, "Moreover, since you can borrow my Void Wings, why can’t I borrow yours?"

"Because the one who Shares Life and Shared Death with you is Filly, and Dazzling Star is a completely unrelated enemy." Dazzling Star restrained her smile; at this moment, she seemed neither Filly nor Dazzling Star, but an extracted third party: "The one who truly borrows your Void Wings is Filly, but what is Filly’s is Dazzling Star’s, so Dazzling Star can also use your Void Wings."

"But what belongs to Dazzling Star is not Filly’s. Filly is just a newly becoming Demon Mage, without even Void Wings. She has no resources to share with you, so you can’t get anything."

"As for what our Status is..." Dazzling Star raised her head and gazed at the sea of stars, "Do you know, the Starlight we see comes from Constant Stars countless light-years away, before we encounter the Starlight, the Constant Stars themselves may have already perished for various reasons. What we can see is a beam that connects the past and future, originating from destruction and heading toward eternity, dazzling Starlight."

"Filly is a beam from a destroyed Constant Star?"

"No, Filly is merely a mark left in your world when this Starlight sweeps past." Dazzling Star said calmly, "I am the Starlight."

She never displayed Filly’s coquettishness again.

Ash clenched both swords.

"You will die here." She said slowly, "You should die here."

"Words like that, I’ve heard from citizens of Kaimon City to the Six-winged God." Ash said, "Didn’t expect Supreme of Magic’s curse to be so predictable."

"We only have two endings; either I kill you, destroy the Void Realm, devour the world, and achieve an unprecedented Eight-winged uniqueness, transcending everything, proving eternity." Dazzling Star lifted her chin and said, "Or you kill me, then..."

"Reenact the countless setbacks you’ve heard of." She said, "This world, which should be devoured by Uroboros, will return to Fate’s track, nurturing the World Snake that devours worlds. No one transcends Fate, only Magic is eternal."

"I will research a way to reduce Gravity."

"Do you think ’they’ haven’t researched it? Do you think ’they’ didn’t foresee all the methods you might think of?" Dazzling Star closed her eyes, "If I didn’t know the existence of ’them’, nor knew you were ’their’ creation, I might have a few reasons to agree... But knowing that all efforts are in vain, even you, a creation once infinitely close to Eight-winged, can’t sever ’their’ Fate, I will no longer hold onto any illusions."

Ash was silent, remembering Death Mad had said they found a way to lessen their attraction to Uroboros, if it weren’t for the interference of the End-Time Five, Uroboros might not have found this world so quickly... Various signs indicated that the End-Time Five not only researched "reducing Gravity" but also were able to apply it.

But apart from delaying time, it had no effect; Death Mad even casually mentioned it, obviously she thought it wasn’t worth mentioning.

"Though such a possibility doesn’t exist," Dazzling Star suddenly asked, "if you beat me but still have no way before the end-time arrives, what would you do?"

Ash was silent for a moment, "I would take away as many people as possible and flee against the timeline."

In a daze, Ash thought of the End-Time Five again. If they kept fleeing, would they become like the End-Time Five? Time after time rising hope, plunging into despair, eventually going mad, crying, just like the Messenger of calamity bringing an apocalypse forecast, heralding calamity, burying worlds...

"Is this what you call rebirth?" Dazzling Star seemed to want to laugh, "How is this different from merely surviving?"

"This is a question only Dazzling Star would ask." Ash said lightly.

Dazzling Star silently gazed at him, and her cold expression gradually showed a hint of laughter; she shook her head, "No, I would also ask this. I also hope you can harshly discard everyone, even if only by yourself, to live strong and alone."

"Ash, think about it, instead of letting everyone die together, why not become the only Eight-winged, perhaps then you could have the ability to resurrect everyone, maybe even restore the whole world? That might be the only way, if you talk to the Sword Maiden and them, I believe they would surely advise you this way too."
