Who hid My Corpse!

Hewinia still did not speak, she raised her magic wand once again, and new flames of Magic Power flowed from it, transforming the wand into a scythe anew.

Then, she charged towards Raul again.

"Oh? Still attacking in the same way?" Raul smiled and raised his magic wand, "It seems like you are the kind of person who won't give up until you see results."

The two reinforced magic wands clashed again like cold weapons.

They were like two beasts in battle, scattering flames of Magic Power like flesh flying around.

But Hewinia was indeed the more disadvantageous one.

With each contact, her Magic Scythe would become dimmer.

After several exchanges, it was already like a candle that could extinguish at any moment.

"Is this all you can do?" Raul said, "This doesn't look like someone who has killed so many Golden Notes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hewinia strike towards his neck.

Raul raised his magic wand to block once more.

With this blow, he could extinguish Hewinia's last bit of fiery Magic Power.

But...

Raul heard the airbreaking sound mingled in the melody.

Wait, this attack is fishy!

Raul realized something was off, but it was still too late; the two magic wands had already collided.

"Slash" sound.

Raul's magic wand was cut through by Hewinia's scythe as easily as if it were just an ordinary stick.

And the scythe's momentum continued unabated, ready to split Raul's head in two.

Unfortunately, just before it succeeded, Raul's body suddenly emitted a sharp screech, like countless hands scratching glass.

[Five Tones·Raging Current]!

An invisible force emanated from Raul as its center, scattering Hewinia away.

But as Hewinia flew backward, she canceled the wand's transformation, aiming at Raul's face.

[Five Sounds Magic Cube]!

Several magic beams began to converge and connect.

But before they could form a Magic Cube, they were twisted again by the invisible sound waves, then turned into numerous white fine lines, recoiling towards Hewinia.

Hewinia had to immediately conjure a barrier, but unfortunately, the barrier failed to form, and the Magic Power intended to condense the barrier transformed again into wind blades, along with those white lines, cutting and piercing her body.

"Bang"!

All happened in a flash; Hewinia went from nearly succeeding in her sneak attack to being blown to the ground, and then took two Chorus Magic spells in a row, though not particularly high-ranking ones, they still left her battered.

If it were an ordinary person, they would be dead by now.

Because those two low-rank spells were aimed at her vital points too.

Yet Hewinia quickly stood up again, grabbing her magic wand, and her wounds were swiftly healing.

"Just as expected." Raul's voice rang again, "That is not the power of Holy Sound."

He first looked down at the magic wand split in two by Hewinia, then at her wounds.

"You didn't crush Magic Power with Magic Power, but used sheer force... that force is definitely not possessed by Holy Sound, Holy Sound Players never seek such brute force ways of fighting. Looking from how you've enhanced your body and your weapon... it seems like Lyra's methods." Raul squinted, then softly said, "First is Rhein, then Lyra, along with Visas' gaze, plus music score and notes... Hewinia, you indeed surprise me, I'd love to know how many secrets you still have."

Hewinia took a deep breath, striving to adjust her state, while pondering how to break the situation.

Now she fully realized Raul's power.

Not only could he use spells like having gathered all Seven Notes on a music score at will, but also freely alter her Chorus Magic.

Because under these thousands of Eternal Notes, her notes were hard to use independently.

Therefore, as long as Raul wished, Hewinia could not use any complete Chorus Magic in front of him, and it came at no cost.

This was even more formidable than Bai Wei's middle finger.

This was why Hewinia initially opted for that kind of combat method.

Only close-range combat and using powers that don't require notes to drive could barely contend with Raul.

But only slightly, after all, the powers Hewinia commanded outside of Holy Sound were only the few Bai Wei taught her, wanting to defeat Raul with them was wishful thinking.

Nevertheless, she had to win.

And she had to win now.

She glanced up at the time.

Less than three hours left until twelve o'clock, and three hours later, the first Inner Song would play, and the Holy Sound Master would awaken.

She had to settle Raul by that time... and maybe not Raul alone.

No time left to waste.

Currently, her only trump card is Rule, which of those three Rules should she use?

[Termination] doesn't bear much significance, Raul can use spells too quickly and freely rewrite hers.

[Gaze] is too slow, and it's hard to keep Raul constantly in her sight, losing sight means starting over, unsuitable for such death-defying combat. Especially now Raul has noticed her eyes, he surely will be more guarded.
