Chapter 109: Star Eclipse Transformation
Night Star rarely gets angry. Even when she does, it’s not usually a serious matter.
That’s just her personality.
She’s the type who runs away from trouble because she’s weak and timid.
Plus, with so many reliable companions around her to protect her, nothing too upsetting ever happens.
But now, she can’t run away, and there’s no one to protect her. To top it off, someone just took something really important from her.
Threatening her using a friend’s life, pushing her to her limits.
In such a situation, should she compromise or resist?
Night Star slowly straightens up, clenching her little fists like a volcano about to erupt.
“I won’t compromise.”
She lowers her head, shrouded in mystery under her bangs, her eyes hidden from view.
“I won’t let anyone bully me.”
An eerie aura starts to emanate from Night Star.
“I’ll make those who harm my friends pay dearly.”
Night Star lifts her eyes, her crimson gaze glowing ominously as if lit by a scarlet flame, exuding a chilling ruthlessness.
“Oya, can you see the odds of me getting angry?”
“Uh…”
Oya wears a rather complicated face, clearly feeling the pressure.
“One hundred percent chance. No way to lower it, and… do you know your current situation?”
The eyes of the Uncrowned Wanderer, Hilo, and Oya all shift.
Because the aura Night Star radiates is unmistakably the aura of her kind—what you could call, the Star Eclipse aura.
Night Star is now on the path of Star Eclipse transformation, an image they dread seeing most.
Once this caliber of star transforms into a Star Eclipse, it wields enough power to obliterate everything.
Words manifest into power?
That’s probably how it works.
Night Star feels the surge of power within her, and many of her thoughts are gradually shifting.
The mental power that the Wish Machine consumed seems to be re-emerging, transforming into her own strength.
Her mental power rises to a B rank, then breaks through to an A in record time, as if still climbing higher.
Night Star’s momentum becomes increasingly powerful, then, just as she reaches her limits, it suddenly retracts, not leaking an ounce of her potent aura.
“Night Star” glares with her crimson eyes at the three First Generation Star Eclipses not far away, her expression devoid of warmth.
At this moment, she is the Star Eclipse Embodiment, a different form of the Wish Machine.
“Give it back.”
As soon as the words leave her mouth, a wondrous power instantly takes effect.
Everything stripped away by Hilo uncontrollably flies back towards the Wish Princess, ultimately returning to her body.
The Uncrowned Wanderer observes this scene calmly.
“I think it’s best if we leave first.”
Oya shakes her head.
“Our chances of leaving successfully are one in a hundred. That’s from my full intervention; it was at zero before.”
“One percent is still something, right? I’m outta here.”
No sooner had she spoken, than the Uncrowned Wanderer’s figure vanishes without a shred of warning.
The Wish Princess coldly utters two words.
“Come back.”
In an instant, the Uncrowned Wanderer’s figure reappears in place, having not escaped at all.
Every word from the Wish Princess becomes reality; no matter how ridiculous, things can happen, it’s true power from words.
The Uncrowned Wanderer raises an eyebrow, gives up struggling.
This girl in front of him is probably evolving into something of that caliber.
Even if the Uncrowned Wanderer, Hilo, and Oya exert all their power, it probably wouldn’t make any difference.
If this girl wanted, she could wipe them off the map with just a word.
No joke.
Then, the Wish Princess extends a hand, invisible threads hoisting the three of them into the air without a hint of resistance.
“Your methods are terribly cruel, you haven’t considered the pressure you’re putting her under at all.”
The Uncrowned Wanderer isn’t surprised.
“You figured it out, huh?”
The Wish Princess only needs to think a thought to know their intentions.
All-knowing powers can do that quite easily.
“Since you know, will you help us?”
“The decision isn’t in my hands. Your actions have already angered her. She has no reason to fulfill your wishes, and what you’ve done will come at a cost.” The Wish Princess says coolly.
“So, what’s the cost?”
The three Star Eclipses show no signs of panic on their faces, seemingly unbothered by the situation.
They don’t have a shred of a scare in them.
The Wish Princess doesn’t answer but flings them against the wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A tremendous force embeds them into the wall, and just witnessing it is painful.
“A third of your power.”
“That’s a hefty loss.” Hilo’s brow finally furrows.
For someone who enjoys trading, he understands better than anyone how serious this cost is.
But the Wish Princess seems uninterested in giving them a rebuttal.
“Seize it.”
As the words drop, the Uncrowned Wanderer, Hilo, and Oya’s powers are forcibly stripped away, ultimately entering Night Star’s body.
At this moment, their power has plunged from Supernova status, severely weakened.
The expression on the Uncrowned Wanderer’s face doesn’t change at all.
“Is this enough?”
“It’s not for me to decide. If you pressure her again, it won’t be this easy next time.”
The crimson light in Night Star’s eyes fades, her original consciousness gradually returning.
She looks blankly at her hands, confusion swarming her mind.
“Did I… turn into a Star Eclipse?”
Night Star can sense the immense power swelling within her. It feels like she can accomplish any wish and do anything, omnipotent, really.
But… it makes her a bit uneasy.
They say becoming a Star Eclipse means gradually losing one’s humanity, until you’re no longer yourself, but rather a Star Eclipse consciousness.
Is she still her?
Night Star gazes at the three First Generation Star Eclipses not far away. Their aura seems much weaker than before.
The oppressive feeling they brought doesn’t seem as formidable now.
Maybe she doesn’t need to fear them anymore.
If she wishes, she could erase all those who’ve bullied her using her power.
Yet, after gaining the power to fulfill any wish, she starts becoming hesitant.
Just moments ago, she wanted strength to fight against the three First Generation Star Eclipses, fueled by intense anger, transforming into what she is now.
True, as a Star Eclipse, she’s powerful, but what comes next?
Night Star finds herself feeling a little lost.
Meanwhile.
The Uncrowned Wanderer brushes off the dust on his clothes, seemingly unfazed by everything that just happened.
He only wants to know Night Star’s thoughts, whether she’s willing to help.
After all, giving up a third of one’s power and ending up with nothing in return isn’t something that sits well.
Just as he’s about to speak up, a bizarre phenomenon occurs.
Black feathers begin to rain down from the sky, like an eerie shower of feathers.
The problem? There are no flocks of birds overhead to explain this feather downfall.
Moreover, these feathers unmistakably carry a blatant Star Eclipse aura, as if belonging to someone’s domain.
“Oh?”
The Uncrowned Wanderer looks in a certain direction, spotting a dark shape rapidly approaching, exuding an intensely dangerous aura.
On closer inspection, it looks like the Group Leader with black wings spread wide, or perhaps…
The Demon King.
