Chapter 1305: Shadows in a Dream
"Seventy points!"
In the end, Cyber Elf Alpha's score broke the historical record of all past winners of the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade, second only to Casina the Battle God who just performed the Battle God's Dance.
Looking at the scores of the three rounds of competition, it is not surprising that this one point difference can be caught up at any time.
Everything was exactly as Cyber Elf Alpha had calculated. This was the perfect performance she tailored for herself by combining the scoring trends of all the previous judges from the earlier rounds.
"Alpha, you're amazing!" The Golden Crow Princess curiously circled around Cyber Elf Alpha, occasionally sniffing her scent.
In theory, the Golden Crow Princess is slightly older than Cyber Elf Alpha. However, because she hasn't been officially born into the world yet, her temperament is even younger than Alpha's.
From Cyber Elf Alpha, the Golden Crow Princess caught a hint of a scent similar to the Queen Mother of the West, and couldn't help but come closer.
"Seventy points... I was really underestimated... I..." Flora clenched her little hand, then lifted her pointed chin, her gaze becoming even more determined.
It's time to show her true abilities. In the past, she was always a strong contender for the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade, but this time it's different.
In her heart, there was a burning flame.
It was a love fire that no one could lose, making their souls speak.
At this point, only the last two contestants of the first round of the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade had yet to appear.
Lilibet, the Guardian of the Sky Tower, came to chase after Shaya Longnis.
Great Witch Flora, known as the strongest contestant in the history of the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade.
"Only this time... even if I face the God Slaying Sky Sword... I absolutely won't lose!" Flora stared fiercely at Lilibet, who remained expressionless from the beginning.
She had a strong feeling that this could be her strongest opponent, possibly even unmatched.
That calm expression, constantly giving a tremendous sense of oppression, as if victory was assured from the very beginning.
Flora had a chance to claim the ultimate prize in the God Slaying Sky Sword's upheaval competition since she ranked in the top three among all the legend-ranked contestants in Endless God's Domain.
The reason she is not first is because there is a multi-headed dragon who is even better at escaping and surviving.
The unlucky demon dragon has successfully escaped multiple times from a group that includes goddesses, fantasy creatures, and thousands of hero-ranked individuals. It escaped all the way into the unknown Star Domain area where there are no star bridges.
The beam of light shook and this time it fell on an opponent that Flora paid extra attention to.
"..." elegantly brushing away the crumbs from her lips, Lilibet coldly watched Shaya Longnis and vanished from the dining table.
......
"Splash!"
"Splash!"
On the golden sand beach, gentle waves crashed against tiny golden pebbles. A huge door stood between the sea and the sky. Lilibet stood in front of the door, and her Azure Excalibur shimmered with a glowing steel-blue light as usual.
Yun Xi has dreamt of this scenery countless times.
On the golden beach, whether they were "princesses" or "princes", everyone remained silent. Time seemed to stand still here, like a beautiful painting.
Lilibet had no intention of speaking.
She wasn't even a participant in this year's Red Heart Queen's Masquerade. Her only goal in coming here was to hunt down Shaya Longnis, who had stolen a precious item.
Even though she had been specially invited by Red Heart Queen Ada to join the ball, Lilibet still maintained her own pace.
Unlike the passionate God Slaying Sky Sword senior who eagerly attended the dance, Lilibet had absolutely no interest in the ball.
Even now, on this stage that showcased the elegance of a lady, she still remained indifferent, like an icy mountain, keeping others at a distance.
There was no need for any performances. For Lilibet, it was just a waste of time.
This golden beach and the gateway that connected the sea and the sky, that was Lilibet's work and mission.
Yun Xi stared dumbfounded at Lilibet, not far away.
Actually, he has many, many things he wants to say to Lilibet.
"Why... have you been here, protecting this door?"
"Is it a promise with someone, or is it a vow you made?"
"Do you remember, we have met here many times before."
"Hmm... I know... you probably don't remember... or maybe it's just a dream for me."
"Lilibet... actually..."
In many dreams, Yun Xi fantasized about meeting Lilibet, even though he knew it would end with his own death. He looked forward to this brief and magical time together.
Since the first time he had this dream, he became obsessed with the girl who always appeared on this golden beach.
No matter where he entered this dream, he would always come to this beach and meet her.
In her dreams, she always looked powerful and beautiful, making people's hearts race.
Her pretty curls, the braids behind her back, and the shiny blue sword she wielded - they all made her figure so enchanting as she fought and defeated enemies.
Hero.
Legend.
Myth.
The more times they met, the more they noticed the shining aspects of her character.
Even if she killed them a hundred or a thousand times, that heart-pounding feeling never faded.
She was the most magnificent color in Yun Xi's dreams, the sweetest longing, and the most captivating scenery.
Every time Yun Xi had this dream, it was a marvelous journey. In the real world, he was just an ordinary baker, but through this dream, he touched a world he would never be able to enter.
The immortal ghost.
The magical sword that cuts all the ghosts.
The ancient and mysterious door, with unknown destination.
For young Yun Xi, it was an irresistible temptation.
In the end, he got lost in his dreams multiple times, not knowing which world was the real one.
He wandered here as an immortal wandering soul.
He lived a plain and ordinary life in the small town.
The sword that divides these two worlds, the sword that separates reality from dreams.
When he died in his dreams, he would wake up in the real world and lose almost all the memories of that dream, only left with a feeling of sadness and loss.
For a long time, when he woke up like this, he would become silent and not know what happened to him.
It wasn't until he met Hua Huo that he felt like he saw a part of his dream reflecting on her, which made him involuntarily get closer to her and his heart beat faster.
