Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube
Chapter 1656 - 1134: The Final Tolling of the Clock (Part 2)
The remains of the entire Mirror Clan of fairies lie in this land, including the clan leader of the Mirror Clan.
"What are we going to do?"
As expected, Altoria no longer focused on the Dragon Corpse Swamp and turned to Reiger, her delicate face tightened.
Reiger did not hesitate much either.
"Leave it to me."
On the way here, he had already decided what to do.
Using Resurrection Magic to bring back the clan leader of the Mirror Clan, and then have him willingly sacrifice himself to rebuild the Bone Clock... Even Reiger did not want to do such a thing.
That’s too heartless.
If it were the Tooth, Wind, Earth, or Wing fairy clans, Reiger wouldn’t care.
But for the Mirror Clan... this clan has already repented and paid the price, Reiger wouldn’t be so heartless.
Under such circumstances, Reiger decisively chose to use another method.
"Right here, using the remains of the Mirror Clan Leader as a medium, forge it into a new Bone Clock with [Wish Upon a Star]."
With the most crucial remains as a medium, presumably, even if we use [Wish Upon a Star] to forge a new Bone Clock, it shouldn’t consume too much experience.
"Buzz—"
With a sound that was enough to vibrate the air, the magic power within Reiger erupted like a volcano.
A giant dome-shaped three-dimensional magic array expanded upon Reiger’s body, rapidly spreading towards the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye, not only enveloping Reiger and Altoria within the array but also covering the surrounding area and enveloping the entire Dragon Corpse Swamp.
"What, what is this... ?!"
Looking at the massive dome-shaped three-dimensional magic array and feeling the astonishing magic power erupting from Reiger, Altoria was stunned.
Is this sorcery?
Or magic?
Altoria, who had never seen such a scene, was directly baffled by the wind.
Meanwhile, Reiger, who had manifested the superlative magic [Wish Upon a Star], also felt an omnipotent sense which informed him that he could accomplish anything now.
Unfortunately, this is just an illusion.
"If I could do everything, I wouldn’t have to come back to seek Morgan’s help."
Thinking of Beluti’s soul still in the plane’s interstitial space, Reiger’s emotions were also complex.
However, Reiger quickly sorted out his emotions.
If it can’t be done, then there’s no need to dwell on it.
At this moment, he only needs to think about what he can accomplish.
"Return, oh lost soul embedded within the earth."
"Manifest again, oh bone clock that confesses past sins."
Genuinely inject the wish into the superlative magic [Wish Upon a Star]...
In the next moment, the dome-shaped three-dimensional magic array enveloping the entire Dragon Corpse Swamp bloomed gently like a flower of light.
"Boom!"
The vast magic power erupting from Reiger’s body transformed into a stream of particles, shooting into the sky and piercing the clouds.
At this moment, the lake region was illuminated by the light particles, causing numerous fairies to be startled, writhing madly.
The world was rewritten at this moment, and miracles that did not exist in this realm were awakened.
When the massive dome-shaped three-dimensional magic array disappeared, the stream of particles that shot up to the heavens descended again, merging with the earth, causing the ground to glow softly, converging in front of Reiger and Altoria.
Soon, a hazy light shadow rose from the ground and appeared before Reiger and Altoria accompanied by countless light particles.
"..."
Altoria’s astonishment began to fade, replaced by a quietly contemplative silence, gazing at the light shadow without uttering a word.
Reiger was the same.
He knew that the true form of this light shadow was likely the deceased Mirror Clan Leader, who made a prophecy sixteen years ago, leading Altoria, the Paradise Fairy, to become the prophesied child, embarking on a difficult path.
Originally asleep within the earth, the soul was awakened, swiftly transforming before Reiger and Altoria.
After an unknown period, the light shadow rising from the ground disappeared, replaced by a clock.
A clock very familiar to both Reiger and Altoria.
"Pilgrimage Bell..."
The last Pilgrimage Bell in Britain has finally reappeared in the world.
"Go ahead, ring it."
Reiger gently patted Altoria’s back, speaking softly.
"Inform the fairies of Britain that the prophesied child has officially completed the pilgrimage and is about to step onto the battlefield for the liberation of Britain and its fairies."
Upon hearing this, Altoria found a surprising calmness within her heart.
"If I were the me that just left Tintagel, it would be hard to believe I could complete the pilgrimage in such a short time, which was always my life-long yearning for over a decade, right?"
It’s only been a few months since I left Tintagel.
In my decades-long life before this, countless times, I fantasized about the pilgrimage process, its meaning, its hardships, but never thought I could fulfill this mission in just a few months.
It occupied a large part of my life.
It was once eagerly talked about throughout Britain.
It affected my life, and many others’ lives, even affecting the situation of Britain.
Now, it is about to come to an end.
"From now on, the descendants of the Original Six Fairies will acknowledge their sins."
"The ringing of the bell is a confession statement."
"Let this bell resonate throughout Britain and even spread to the Inner Sea of the Star; this is my mission."
Unconsciously, Altoria arrived before the bell.
It is the sixth experience.
This is also the last experience.
"Zheng!"
Starlight gathered upon Altoria.
"[Chanting of Paradise, Song of the Inner Sea.]"
A sacred chant echoed from Altoria’s closed mouth, gathering starlight onto the chosen staff she raised.
"[Existence born for selection, judgment, and correction.]"
"[The Beginning Bone Clock, guiding the lost child back.]
"[Forgive their sins.]"
In the beginning, Altoria might not fully understand the meaning of this chant, but now she comprehends it all.
She is the chosen existence, born into Britain to judge and correct the Original Six Fairy clans’ primal sins.
The Beginning Bone Clock, as it rings, guides these fairies, who’ve committed original sin, back to their path, allowing them to seek forgiveness in their pleas.
"Forgive their sins."
In the final chant of this song, Altoria sincerely prayed.
After fourteen thousand years, this sinful history should be forgiven and come to an end.
"Dong—Dong—Dong—Dong—Dong—"
The ancient and long sound of the bell resonated from the Pilgrimage Bell, transforming into a sound lingering between heaven and earth, riding the wind away.
The bell gradually rang across the sky of the Fairy Nation Britain, listened to by all life dwelling on this sinful land.
Salisbury...
Norwich...
Gloucester...
Oxford...
Orkney...
Lancing...
Edinburgh...
Camelot...
In each historic city, the bell reverbated, causing fairies to raise their heads and gaze at the sky.
"Pilgrimage Bell?"
"... How can it be?"
In the cathedral, still discussing cooperation matters, Noconalay, Da Vinci, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Matthew, and others were fully stunned and bewildered.
In distant Camelot, the silver-haired Elf Knight and the black-red Elf Knight were also shaken, gazing at the sky silently.
On the throne, the ears of the Winter Witch slightly trembled, yet she never opened her eyes, maintaining a calm expression.
Thus, the last Pilgrimage Bell was rung.
And this bell also announced the final curtain call for Britain’s saga...
