Chapter 37: Intense Battle
After becoming a Star Eclipse, Mo Rabbit could only think about fun, with her focus entirely on her obsession.
Night Star felt that something was off with Mo Rabbit.
But before she could ask, things took a sharp turn.
Boom, boom, boom!
The castle where Mo Rabbit and Night Star were situated began to violently shake.
It felt like an earthquake had hit.
“Eh?! What’s going on?!”
Night Star grabbed Mo Rabbit and used 【Blink】 to teleport outside, quickly finding herself in a dense fog where visibility was zero, just a wall of white.
Mo Rabbit recognized this stuff.
This seemed like the ability of a Graveyard Star Eclipse, producing disorienting fog.
Why was it here?
Before she could ponder further, a strong sense of danger surged within her.
A fierce premonition told her that a huge wave of enemies was on the way!
This complex and heavy aura of Star Eclipses is…
The embodiments from the Hero Cemetery!
They were coming!
But intuition told Mo Rabbit that they weren’t here to roll out the red carpet for Night Star; they were here to clean up the invaders of the Star Eclipse Nation.
This might not be their own will but rather the direct command from the First Generation Star Eclipse.
In the Star Eclipse Nation, Loti Shana was the supreme ruler.
Including the citizens here, they were all under her control.
Now, the Star Eclipses from the Hero Cemetery couldn’t control themselves and had to move according to Loti Shana’s orders.
In the face of the first generation’s might, no matter how unwilling they were, they couldn’t rebel.
Mo Rabbit offered a word of caution.
“Be careful, Audience Performer! There are a hundred Star Eclipses here; you could easily get smashed to bits!”
“Really!? That many?!”
To be honest, Night Star had never seen so many Star Eclipses together.
It was like a parade of yōkai!
Too ridiculous.
And with this inexplicable fog, it gave off even more of a spooky vibe.
Super thrilling!
Night Star couldn’t help but get nervous, a faint crimson glimmer flashing in her eyes, bubbling with excitement.
It was tough for anything to frighten her now.
“Are they enemies?”
If they were enemies, then it was open season on them.
“They’re probably under mind control; just try not to k*ll them.”
“Oh, so they’re all friendly Star Eclipses, right?”
“You could say that. Just incapacitate them.”
“Got it!”
Night Star’s current priority was to resolve the situation in front of her quickly.
And take care of that dangerous First Generation Star Eclipse while she was at it.
Then she could take Mo Rabbit back to practice for the Grand Performance.
Previously, Night Star was really worried about facing the First Generation Star Eclipse.
But ever since her mental power had been boosted to Grade B and she’d beaten an enhanced Ballad Conductor, she wasn’t so scared anymore.
As long as it wasn’t an enhanced First Generation Star Eclipse, Night Star wouldn’t flinch.
Besides, this time, the First Generation Star Eclipse was just an adorable little loli.
No tension at all.
Just as Night Star was thinking that, a searing breath emerged from the fog.
A colossal dragon formed from black flames.
“Roar—!!”
“Ahh, No way!”
Night Star’s tiny heart started racing as she quickly blinked to escape the scene.
Boom!!
The fire dragon crashed down where she had just stood, instantly obliterating the ground and showering the area with countless black sparks.
Fire rained down.
It stuck like a viscous liquid, melting large areas into unsightly pits.
Just that one hit could turn the whole castle into ruins.
Mo Rabbit had already hidden in the space of her created paradise, unable to resist peeking out.
“That’s gotta be that Yan Jue guy, right? I didn’t expect him to have such terrifying destructive power. No wonder he used to be the Sunlight!”
Boom, boom, boom!
The ground shook again.
A gigantic figure towered over the land, even the fog couldn’t hide its overwhelming presence.
Seeing this massive monster, Night Star was genuinely taken aback at first.
Of course, it was just a jolt; her legs weren’t about to give out.
This matched the Star Eclipse conglomerate she’d seen back in Qi Yuan City!
“Good grief…”
At that moment, Night Star suddenly found her body uncontrollably flung into the air, as if being manipulated by telekinesis, right in front of the giant.
The next second.
The giant raised its hands, as if getting ready to squash a flying insect, bringing its hands together with a tempestuous gale.
Bang!!
A thunderous sound shattered the heavens and the earth.
Upon closer inspection.
A small figure with white hair and red eyes stood atop the giant’s hands, looking minuscule and extremely relaxed, as if she was just taking a breather.
Thank goodness for the 【Blink】 skill.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have the chance to activate her Speed B while airborne.
The situation wasn’t giving Night Star any time to rest.
That telekinetic control hit her again, tossing her into the air once more.
“Ugh, I can’t keep letting this happen.”
Night Star used Blink to return to the ground.
“Doll City! Bind that giant!”
Little Lian’s puppet had somehow appeared at Night Star’s waist.
Countless threads sprang into existence, taking control of all the joints of the Star Eclipse giant, constraining it from moving again.
Under the supremacy of a Supernova, as long as it didn’t exceed Little Lian’s specs, it couldn’t break free.
After restraining the giant, Night Star quickly used Existence Interference to locate which Star Eclipse had been controlling her with telekinesis.
No matter how thick the fog was, nothing could escape the perception capabilities of 【Existence Interference】.
“Found you!”
Night Star quickly blinked to his side, using 【Fair Trade】 to forcefully exchange his telekinesis and then delivered a swift kick to his rear for the earlier control.
“Ugh, the annoying control sensation is finally gone. But where did that little loli First Generation go?”
Night Star scratched her head in confusion.
At that moment, she spotted an unfamiliar silhouette not far away.
Waves of black energy were gathering toward her, eventually entering her mouth as if she were devouring something incredibly nourishing.
Night Star could clearly feel that the black energy was the very embodiment of Star Eclipses, yet this mysterious figure was swallowing them all, its specifications gradually increasing.
It was a leap towards a nearly Supernova level!
Mo Rabbit, poking her head out from the paradise, sensed the spine-chilling power too.
“Is she boosting her powers by consuming them? I remember that there was a fallen Sunlight Night Watcher in the cemetery, and the stars seemed to have called him 【Devourer】.”
Now she suspected that this being was currently consuming the powers of those low-tier Star Eclipses, stacking their specifications to approach a Supernova level—an incredibly terrifying burst of power.
However, this would only unleash sheer destructive force without any bizarre mechanisms, like a power level monster.
Meanwhile, back with Night Star.
That figure, devouring countless Star Eclipses, cracked a grin, staring at Night Star with dangerous eyes.
The next second.
An energy wave, aimed to demolish everything in its path, descended, targeting where Night Star was standing.
Boom!
Night Star could sense that if she was locked onto by this power, no matter how fast she blinked to another place, she’d still be tracked down.
The raw destructive power of a Sub-Supernova was enough to wipe an entire area from existence.
Realizing she couldn’t dodge it, Night Star didn’t blink away.
“Ugh, I’ve had enough fun; I should deal with this quickly.”
Just as she was about to use the Wish Machine to tackle the problem, a white-haired figure dashed in front of her, extending her hand.
“Faith Shield.”
The Mind Star Eclipse effect activated, and a colossal shield blocked the horrifying destructive force without being instantly destroyed.
Mo Rabbit glanced over, surprised.
“Ah, I see. The Mind Star Eclipse is special; it has a stronger will than other Star Eclipses, so it can resist the control of the First Generation Star Eclipse?”
