A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 433 Directly Taking the Force

Wandering through this world filled with echoes, Jiang Shuzhou decided to buy two ornaments.

According to the script, this ornament is a special item, and an adventure is about to begin.

However, some people don't think that way.

"Master! Shall we go have some fun together?"

Before Jiang Shuzhou could pay, Grace pulled him away.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing? Don't ring the bell!"

As it turns out, no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

"In every town we visit, the people there ring the bell, but here no one does. Master, don't you find that suspicious?"

After Grace finished speaking, she pulled the rope in her hand, and soon the bell rang.

Boom!

The bustling street suddenly fell silent.

Boom!

People around her looked at Grace.

Boom!

Their faces gradually became distorted, their previous kind expressions vanished, replaced by endless resentment.

Their bodies began to twist, and gorgeous costumes grew out of them. They charged at Grace like theatrical actors.

"I knew you weren't human a long time ago!"

After saying that, Grace's staff transformed into a sharp blade, and she began a massacre.

My script!

Jiang Shuzhou originally planned to act out a script here, something about two adventurers investigating the truth or something.

But it's clear that Grace inherited his unconventional ways, and she simply flipped the table and quit.

I'm not even going to act anymore.

boom!

Grace coldly slaughtered the monsters, killing each one that tried to approach with a single shot.

She held a handgun she made herself in one hand and a staff that Jiang Shuzhou had made for her in the other. Melee attacks, spells, and bullets flew together, her posture exaggerated yet very graceful.

Jiang Shuzhou's eyes flickered. He hadn't taught her any of this. How did Grace manage to do it?

It is clear that the part of Freud's memory is beginning to awaken.

Perhaps... it's time to speed things up.

Since Grace doesn't like taking risks, Jiang Shuzhou will give her a fight.

Hopefully she can hold on.

The monsters around them became increasingly distorted, until finally, they no longer even had human form.

"Master, come closer, I'll protect you."

Without a second thought, Grace pulled Jiang Shuzhou into her arms and carefully protected him as if he were a fragile object.

"Don't use that power anymore, it will cause problems."

Grace's cold face softened when she looked at Jiang Shuzhou.

She became more and more proactive.

"I'm fine."

Jiang Shuzhou shook his head, then hugged Grace and fell backward. Grace trusted Jiang Shuzhou completely and did not resist at all.

"brush!"

With a whooshing sound, all the monsters froze for a moment, then their upper and lower bodies were severed in two, the cuts incredibly smooth, as if space itself had been ripped open.

If Jiang Shuzhou hadn't pulled Grace backwards, they probably would have faced the same fate.

"Two more little mice have come."

"Come, give your souls to me, give your destiny to me, and hear the lament of fate!"

A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked over.

"Who are you?"

Grace asked.

"I am omnipresent, the echo of destiny."

Still a riddle teller.

Jiang Shuzhou stood with Grace, holding a Miao sword that had transformed from a sharp-edged staff.

"Ignore her, don't listen to her story, just kill her."

In fact, Jiang Shuzhou naturally recognized the woman in front of him.

Her name was Corus, a noblewoman.

Corus was spoiled from a young age and had a strict upbringing.

Then, the classic story unfolds: just as a good girl and a blond guy are attracted to each other, Corus also meets her own poor boy.

In this world, this is a high-probability event, after all, Jiang Shuzhou likes things to be a bit dramatic.

Then came the cliché of breaking up a loving couple. As a father, Corus's father naturally couldn't let a wild boy into the family.

Subsequently, Corusette eloped with someone.

Then, unsurprisingly, something unexpected happened.

In Jiang Shuzhou's world, the plot must be explosive.

The man Corus loves is named Bencott. He is handsome and very lovable, but his only flaw is that he likes men.

The reason she dated Corus was to cover up the fact that she was dating another man.

However, the story doesn't end here. In fact, Bancott's boyfriend likes Corus, and this relationship forms a stable triangle structure, thus completing the loop.

When Corus discovered she had been deceived, she killed Bancott's boyfriend in a fit of rage, and then killed Bancott herself.

When she finally returned home, her father, overwhelmed by grief at his daughter's departure and his longing for his deceased wife, fell ill and died.

Corusque inherited her father's estate and lives in this desolate castle.

Then, one day, she made a wish to the playwright, hoping to go back to the past and see her father again.

In response, the kind playwright said that although he was the reason the family had become like this, it didn't matter.

The playwright will grant her wish.

However, in a distorted way.

This area thus became a small world of endless reincarnation.

Corus has all the memories, but she can't do anything about them.

Her own father and everything around her were preordained; echoes of the past continued to play out the beginning and end of the tragedy.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou was not a devil. At the end of the performance, he still mercifully granted these people a moment of clarity, allowing them to have a brief conversation.

However, apart from Corus, everyone else's memories will be erased by reincarnation and will not be retained.

Time and again, everyone is a participant in this tragedy that brings together love, betrayal, and the morbid fascination.

It's quite interesting; sometimes you can even see the family bonds and madness after the series ends.

Naturally, Corus became increasingly erratic; she had gone mad.

Because of reincarnation, she also gained some power.

Killing her or rescuing her will grant you some time's worth of power, as well as valuable materials.

Jiang Shuzhou originally planned to go with Grace to find out and choose a rescue route to save them, but since Grace didn't want to do that, they could just kill them all.

The woman waved her arms, her incredibly long fingernails striking towards Jiang Shuzhou.

clang.

Jiang Shuzhou swung his sword to parry, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

"Die!"

Without any intention of showing mercy, Jiang Shuzhou attacked directly, slashing at Klust with his sword.

"Men never tell the truth!"

That's what Corus said.

Jiang Shuzhou pursed his lips, not paying any attention to it.

He almost never lies.
