This is bad!

Shirley secretly complained that this time it would take longer for her to recover than before, but Karina would never stop because of it.

Maybe it’s time for a decisive victory!

The red light shone in her clear eyes, forming numerous red lines invisible to the naked eye within the blood moon, which were connected to Shirley’s body.

Outside the blood moon, a huge black wolf ghost burned with black flames filled with a malignant aura, raising its claws to the sky.

A huge ball of black light was condensed with the power of the night.

As the ball of light was continuously compressed, more and more terrifying energy emanated from it.

In the end, the ball of light was compressed to its limit, becoming only the size of a fist.

With incomparable speed and a destructive force, the black ball of light transformed into a black lightning bolt.

A distorted trajectory was traced in the air, passing through the blood moon created by Shirley without any obstruction.

Everything…

Exploded like a bubble.

The blood-colored moon high in the sky, the enormous magic circle covering the entire city, and the red radiation spreading everywhere…

All were destroyed by this blow.

However, Karina did not escape unscathed, and releasing this attack also cost her greatly.

"Blood!"

"Kill!"

"Restriction!"

Shirley's voice suddenly echoed in the air, and the blood transformed into threads and penetrated Karina’s chest.

Although the wound was very small, it was extremely painful for Karina.

Shirley appeared again, at the same height as Karina, and her face was already pale and weak.

The attacks released by the continuous consumption of her own blood had also left her feeling very uncomfortable.

Furthermore, the Blood Moon World was destroyed by Karina, and the boost originally associated with it disappeared, making the situation even more unfavorable.

Under the silver light of the moon, Shirley and Karina simply looked at each other.

This time, Karina did not attack first.

In the mysterious silence, only the sound of the turbulent sea of blood below could be heard from time to time.

Not long after the battle began, it reached its end.

Because, at this moment, the original moon of this world had reached its highest point.

From now on, the effect of the full moon on them would begin to weaken slowly.

Only at this moment are they stronger!

"Honestly, no matter what abilities you use again, you will fail this time..."

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Karina said, and her body began to degenerate from its werewolf appearance and gradually returned to its original form, but her aura did not weaken at all.

She was very aware of her own status and even more aware of Shirley’s abilities.

In her understanding, Shirley had no abilities that could defeat her.

"Really?"

Shirley smiled, though her face was a bit pale, she displayed the same elegant and calm smile as always.

"Why do you have the illusion that I’m hiding nothing?"

It seemed like she was trying to be mysterious or that she actually had a plan to kill her.

Shirley said this ambiguously.

"Hmph!"

Karina curled her lips and had no intention of continuing to argue with Shirley.

As for whether the opponent had any other hidden abilities, she would only find out by testing them.

Ready to move her body to attack Shirley, Karina only raised her right foot but stopped again.

"You?"

Karina said this with confusion and surprise.

"What did you do to my body?"

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to attack, but she couldn’t control her body.

The blood in her body seemed to be out of her control and was running wildly.

If her body weren’t strong enough, anyone else would have exploded and died.

"Karina..."

On the other hand, the situation was completely reversed from the previous one.

This time, Shirley appeared calm.

"You once said that when you couldn’t suppress the curse’s power, you would come to me seeking the last hope in the human world, right?"

Without looking at Karina’s reaction or waiting for the other party's response, Shirley continued.

"I started preparing from that moment, but don’t misunderstand me, I didn’t plan for so long to incapacitate your body..."

"Maybe it’s exactly as you said. I still failed this time and can’t completely defeat you, but I found a way to suppress the curse."

"Even if it doesn’t cure you completely, it will give us more time, Karina. One day, I will cure you."

After saying this, Shirley lifted her eyes and looked directly into Karina’s eyes.

"Then, no matter the cost, no matter the sacrifice, I will free you from the curse!"

With her right hand raised, Shirley gradually went mad and quickly returned to calm.

"The light shines forever, and the divine finally appears in the light—"

As the purest dark creature afraid of the light, the sacred mantra was pronounced by Shirley.

A small light shone in the dark night.

"Impure darkness, vile, miserable darkness, abominable—"

"I have accepted the sanction of the Sacred Light!"

A soft and bright halo surrounded Shirley’s body, with points of light dotting the surroundings like stars, and her face became extremely sacred at that moment.

And the small light in the darkness also expanded and shone instantly, turning the entire night sky into daylight.

"What is this!?"

Looking at everything in front of her, a very bad feeling arose in Karina’s heart.

It was no longer a time to think about why Shirley would use such abilities, she had to be stopped!

Karina began to struggle uncontrollably, but Shirley’s voice chanting the mantra remained calm.

On the ground, the rising sea of blood gathered again towards the sky.

"The bells of dawn sound at this moment, and the malignant darkness recedes—"

A bell rang in the sky and on the earth, and the vision was filled with light.

"When the holy angels sing the hymn, the gates of heaven will open again—"

The ethereal pious song sounded like a dream, and a door seemed to open in the light.

It looked real or like an illusion.

Karina’s struggling body began to tremble slightly.

"Pure and holy angel—"

"Spread your wings and embrace the sky—"

Golden feathers fell slowly, and the sound of wings opening was heard in the air.

Karina’s body began to tremble violently.

"O legendary paradise—please respond to the ancient alliance once more—"

"In the name of the Bartoli family and in the name of my Shirley, I declare that heaven has arrived!"

All the blood that had accumulated in the air disappeared and was replaced by a distant bell.

The winged angel held a harp in its arms and sang while floating in the sky.

Heaven had arrived...

There were lush pastures, delicate flowers, thriving trees, and bubbling water...

A majestic church was built with white brick walls.

At the church door, there was an angel holding a sacred sword and wearing armor.

Inside the church, there was a sculpture of a woman with six wings on her back, her hands intertwined and eyes closed, as if she was praying.

Her appearance seemed somewhat similar to Shirley’s...

"Too late!"

Finally, Karina broke the seal and reached Shirley in an instant.

Her merciless claws pierced directly into Shirley’s chest and grasped the still-beating, bright red heart in her hands.

Shirley lowered her raised right hand and looked at Karina calmly with a smile.

"Paradise..."

"Fall!"

The Sacred Light was still there, but the sky began to decay.

Flowers, plants, and trees began to wither, visibly deteriorating.

Everything in the sky became degraded.

Only the woman in the church still looked pious and holy, and there seemed to be a smile on her lips that didn’t exist before.

The sky finally fell to the ground, and the light that illuminated the sky and the earth...
