Ogre Lux Weapons possessed far greater power than regular Lux Weapons. Additionally, due to its unique abilities, any student aiming to enhance their strength hoped to obtain a piece of Ogre Lux Weapon.
However, acquiring a piece of Ogre Lux was no easy task. For example, in the Six Great Academies, only students with a high ranking, outstanding abilities, and impressive results in Festa matches could apply to borrow Ogre Lux.
Even if the application was approved, the user had to be chosen by the Ogre Lux itself.
It was said that when the Ogre Lux favored a user, the user would experience an illusion. This illusion made it seem as if the Ogre Lux was looking at them and even smiling.
And now, Fang Li found himself in such a situation.
The Ogre Lux named Pan-Dora seemed to be smiling at Fang Li, its eye-like activation bodies vibrating while emitting a dazzling red light.
Under these circumstances, Fang Li finally shifted his gaze from Pan-Dora to Claudia.
Then, Fang Li spoke up, “Miss Enfield, could you allow me to take a look at Pan-Dora?”
Claudia fell silent.
“Isn’t it fine?” Fan Xinglou seemed thoroughly interested in this situation and said to Claudia, “Let this child take a look and see what your Ogre Lux is up to.”
Hearing this, Claudia closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she smiled at Fang Li.
This smile wasn’t as perfect as before; it held a hint of complexity.
“Then, please be careful, Fang-San,” Claudia advised, “Ogre Lux possesses consciousness, emotions even. If you upset it, it can be dangerous.”
Fang Li already understood this without Claudia’s explanation. Although Ogre Lux was incredibly powerful and possessed unique abilities, it came with risks.
Leaving aside the price users had to pay to harness its power, some of which were unbearable, Pan-Dora fell into the former category.
Its price was undoubtedly enough to drive an ordinary person to the brink of collapse.
However, Fang Li extended his hand without the slightest hesitation and took the activation bodies from Claudia.
“Clang!”
In the next moment, the Urm Manadytes on the activation bodies radiated a red light.
Within this radiance, the activation bodies, like handheld devices, floated slightly. Blocks, reminiscent of three-dimensional cubes, appeared around them, assembling into the hilt and blade of a sword. The activation body turned into a sword’s form and materialized as a pair of dual swords, falling into Fang Li’s palm.
“Hum!”
Subsequently, the sword edges of the dual swords also emitted a bright light, forming a blade of light condensed from Mana on their edges, sharp and dazzling.
This was Pan-Dora, an Ogre Lux capable of predicting the future.
If a user was unsuitable for an Ogre Lux, the Lux would begin to reject them, forcefully flinging their hand or even their entire body away.
However, Pan-Dora obediently remained in Fang Li’s hand, showing no signs of rejection.
“Oh!” Fan Xinglou exclaimed with excitement, smiling. “It seems you’ve been chosen!”
“…It’s quite surprising,” Claudia added with a hint of complexity. “Normally, if an Ogre Lux already has a user, it wouldn’t allow a second person to use it. However, Pan-Dora seems to really favor Fang-San, accommodating even in this aspect.”
Hearing this, Fang Li was about to say something when another unexpected event occurred.
“Hum!”
The Urm Manadytes on the dual blades held by Fang Li emitted another burst of light.
This time, the radiance was even more dazzling and intense.
“!” Fan Xinglou and Claudia both reacted instinctively, raising their hands to shield themselves.
Once the radiance had dimmed somewhat, Fan Xinglou and Claudia lowered their hands and looked back at Fang Li.
However, Fang Li had already closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing Fang Li’s condition, Fan Xinglou had not yet said anything when Claudia’s expression changed.
She appeared extremely astonished.
“Could it be…?” Claudia gasped.
“Has he been pulled into a dream?”
“Dream?” Fan Xinglou squinted slightly, then smiled as she looked at Fang Li with closed eyes. “It seems that something interesting is happening.”
…
Fang Li felt as if he had suddenly been dragged into another world. First, there was a moment of dizziness, and when he regained his senses, he found himself in a familiar place.
He was in an open space.
A strong wind blew around him, lifting the corners of Fang Li’s clothes and giving him an unreal sensation.
This feeling was akin to entering a dream.
“Dream?” Fang Li muttered, and it was as if he understood something as he raised his head and looked ahead.
There, a young girl stood amidst the ruins, meeting Fang Li’s gaze.
She wore a simple hooded sweatshirt and jeans, with a loose-fitting cap on her head. Chestnut-colored long hair hung down from the cap, swaying in the wind.
Seeing this young girl, Fang Li was slightly taken aback, astonishment in his voice.
“Sylvia?”
Yes, it was Sylvia, the same girl Fang Li had met before. However, she was different from the one he had encountered a few days ago, as the figure in front of him exuded an inexplicable aura.
At this moment, Sylvia looked at Fang Li, her face filled with sorrow.
The depth of her sadness was enough to break any man’s heart.
Then, Sylvia spoke.
“…I’m sorry.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Sylvia suddenly moved.
“Pu Chi!”
The sound of something tearing through flesh and body echoed in the surrounding.
Fang Li was completely dumbfounded because Sylvia had appeared in front of him, holding a sword-shaped Lux, and ruthlessly pierced his heart.
Blood flowed down the sword’s edge.
“I’m sorry…”
Tears welled up in Sylvia’s eyes.
“I want to find my Teacher… I want to find Ursula…”
“But… But Ursula said… she can only come back if I kill you…”
“So… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Under Sylvia’s agonized voice, Fang Li slowly fell to the ground.
Blood dyed the ground red.
Only at this moment did Fang Li realize.
“So, that’s how it is… This place is the Redevelopment District…”
With those words, his consciousness faded away.
Fang Li was dead.
