Chapter Thirty-One: Scott's Demise

  Light is spreading across the sky, scattered throughout the valley above, just like a light curtain laid flat in the sky... The intense explosion instantly spread across the sky...

  After a brief blindness, Francis opened his eyes to see large chunks of debris falling from the sky. "Tsk tsk, it's still not completely gone after being hit by the oath cannon, this guy's body is really huge to a certain limit!"

  "What a terrifying destructive power...!" Dis touched his head, his own moves seemed to have no such great destructive power. Thinking that Francis had some understanding of the move, Dis asked "Young master, what is this move?"

  "How do I put this?" Francis thought for a moment about the previous life's introduction to this technique. "This move converts the magical energy held in the sword into 'light', and then compresses it momentarily before releasing it, accelerating its momentum. To us, it looks like a massive beam of light, but in reality, only the front end of the light has an attack judgment, which is a 'final slash' that cuts through all objects passed through by the 'discontinuity' formed by the light. As for its power, if Saber uses more magical energy..."

  Dys fell into deep thought as he listened to Francis' words.

  "What's wrong, Dis! Are you feeling inferior?" Francis teased from the side, if he wasn't clear about Saber's abilities, he would have been shocked too.

  "Cut, my ultimate move is the strongest!" Dice has a lot of confidence in his own strength. "But this is just light, and it's completely different from Young Master's display of light?"

  "What's different? How is it different now?" Francis was puzzled, what else could be different.

  "Her light can be seen as an energy body, Young Master's light carries a sacred breath, closer to purification. And my understanding of light...” Di Su clenched his fist “is speed! Causing continuous strikes with extremely fast speed, or increasing kinetic energy with extremely fast speed to create enormous power! These two are what I see in the light!!!"

  Francis was shocked by Dis's words and began to think about his understanding of light in the two worlds. Light is a visible electromagnetic wave composed of photons, representing the fastest speed in the universe; light is sacred, pure, can contain all things, and purify all darkness, composed of elements, representing purification and redemption. "Is that so? It seems there's a bit of difference!" Francis looked at his hand and asked himself, "Everyone's understanding of light is different, then what is my light?"

  "Master, don't think about it anymore?" Dais looked at Francis who was deep in thought and said "Your current realm is still too low, these things can be thought about later! This is a manifestation of one's own power source, everyone has different understandings, even if taught hand in hand, they won't learn! Now you thinking more is useless, when the time comes, you will naturally understand!" After finishing speaking, Dais left Francis who was standing there in a daze and went to pick through that pile of broken bones.

  Francis came to himself, feeling a bit dizzy and shook his head. "It's also said that it's better not to think wildly, anyway, it will be known sooner or later." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards Saber, looking at the ground that had been destroyed. "The ground has been overturned, this move is powerful, but Lila may have some difficulty controlling it! Otherwise, the surroundings wouldn't have become like this!"

  At this moment, Saber stood still with her sword, the powerful move indeed had a great impact, but the side effects were not small either. After taking a few light breaths, Saber sheathed her sword.

  "How's it going, Lila? No problems?"

  "Hmm! Just that my magic consumption has decreased a lot, nothing else!" Saber wasn't lying, in this world, her magic recovery had become faster, and the meditation method Francis told her had some effect after all.

  In the distance, Dis was doing something, rummaging through the scattered bone fragments of the Bone Dragon. Curious Francis walked over with Saber, just in time to see Dis pick up a piece of shattered bone from the ground. "Dis, what are you doing? These bones have been tainted by Dark Alchemy and are worthless now!" Francis said with a hint of regret, "There's nothing good left to find!"

  Di's eyebrows twitched twice. "I'm not doing this! This pile of bones gives me a strange feeling, that law god died too easily!"

  "Huh?" Francis furrowed his brow "You mean...no way! To survive an attack like that?"

  Saber also looked at Dis with an expression of disbelief, still clear about the power of her own trump card.

  Di's casually threw away the bone "Young master, can the space ring still be used?"

  "Oh! That's right, if I'm not mistaken, that Scott the First is dead, these rings are ownerless now! And I can..." Francis thought of something and felt a sense of unease, his spiritual power quickly scanning the rings on his hand, looking at Saber and Dieth with a wry smile "The old cunning fellow, he's still not dead!!"

  "What, hit by my attack, yet...". Saber felt a sense of frustration, this was already his strongest attack, and it's still ineffective?

  "Logically, he should be dead by now, after all, he was hit directly by Lila's oath cannon. There's no reason for him to still be alive. But let's not forget, the Bone Dragon isn't his true body, that guy can abandon it at any time. I'm afraid he might have transformed into that black light and is hiding somewhere again." Francis analyzed the situation and came up with a relatively reasonable explanation.

  Only after hearing it did Saber feel a bit better, but this kind of thing wasn't her strong suit. "Young master, about what you said, what is a 'pledge shot'?"

  "Haha! Don't mind what I just said, it's nothing! Haha..." Francis hastily laughed and somehow used the terms from his past life.

  "Haha! In the end, it's still up to Grandpa Dis to take action himself!" Dis said loudly, then circled around the pile of Bone Dragon fragments twice. "I'm asking you, are you coming out yourself or do I need to invite you out?"

  "Have you found it?" Francis looked at Des in puzzlement, who had discovered nothing.

  "Hmm! No matter how well he hides, it's useless in front of me! Leave the rest to me! I'll make his soul disappear forever!" Dis said confidently, turning around and walking away, stepping on a bone "Not bad hiding! If it were an ordinary person, they would really think you've run away! Is this also one of your magical alchemy tricks?" Dis stepped on the bone again "I'm saying, say something already, or I'll lose face! You've been seen through, how long do you want to pretend?" Dis said, continuing to stomp his feet.

  "Don't deceive people too much!!" A voice of anger rose from the bones, although his voice was loud, but Francis still heard that he was very weak now. Slowly, a wisp of black smoke emerged from the bones, and slowly the smoke in the air formed into a human face, but it was too blurry to see what it looked like. It seemed that he was already at the end of his strength. Francis observed the bone for a moment, and found that it was a part of a giant dragon's claw, apparently this should be the hardest place on the giant dragon's body, and it was hiding here that just escaped disaster!

  "The most dangerous place is the safest place, this guy still understands that! Pretty bold, huh? But running into Dice's face, what bad luck!" Francis glanced at Dice, who was pinned to the ground, and said to the blurry figure, "Good luck to you!"

  "Those rings can't be opened without my consent, you won't be able to kill me and I have nothing to do with you either. Alright, take half of the rings!" Scott made an offer, it seemed he had no other choice.

  "Master, what do you two think?" Di asked turning back.

  "Kill him outright!" Francis.

  "I'll take it all!" saber.

  "Ah! Just as I thought!" Dais said with a hint of apology "We unanimously voted to kill you!"

  "Don't push me too far, in my current state, what can you do to me? If I get angry, I'll directly detonate the spiritual power on this ring, and then everyone will have nothing! The intense shaking of the blurry shadow can be seen that Scott is very angry at this time, and the three people opposite him are completely fooling him."

  "Are you talking to me?" Dais raised his index finger, scratched his ear, and pointed at the virtual image again "I have a lot of kung fu to discuss with you, but..." Dais revealed his signature ferocious smile "The location isn't here!!"

  Scott's intuition felt off, turned around wanting to escape, but as soon as he turned around, he found himself unable to move "What's going on, my body is..."

  "Hah! Can you escape? You're nothing but a soul now, and yet you still can't escape my grasp!"

  "Impossible, if we're both at the divine level, even a necromancer wouldn't be able to lay hands on my soul. Are you a necro-alchemist?!" Scott thought that as a fellow alchemist, a necro-alchemist might have equipment for capturing souls.

  "Don't drag alchemy into this, you won't understand my move! No more nonsense, follow me! Corpse Qi Netherworld Wave!!"

  "This move! Is it the Phantom Undead Wave?" This was still Francis and Saber's first time seeing Dis release the Phantom Undead Wave.

  "What a bizarre move!" Saber felt a bit sentimental, this move was impossible to dodge.

  "There is a constellation in the sky called Cancer, which is the darkest of the twelve constellations. In the middle of the constellation, there is a nebula that looks like a white mist, and that mist is commonly known as 'accumulated corpse energy'. So, Dice's special moves are all related to accumulated corpse energy." Francis closed his eyes to recall information about Cancer, but this was all he could think of.

  Looking at Saber's confused face, Francis couldn't help but rub his head. What's the point of saying all this, Lila doesn't even know what a Saint Fighter is.
