event will last until midnight, meaning four hours.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The festival's lively energy filled the air, but Alex wasn't here for the festivities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had one goal: find Alice and Aurelia and stay close to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Star Festival might not be a combat event, but danger lurked in unexpected places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, he didn't have any money so he hoped Alice would buy him the [Fate Gift Boxes] when the [Wandering Merchant] would appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no, you can't try and steal from him, because as said before, he is extremely strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strong enough to wipe out this entire city except for the chairman of the academy as they were at equal levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And talking about the academy and its chairman, the teachers and Dominic himself would obviously be participating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Alex needed to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't pinpoint exactly when they started to take away players\u002Fstudents for their ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that they had lost two of the precious items they needed for the summoning, they would surely try and enhance the strength of the [Hatred Demon] another way while waiting: sacrifices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Alex stepped into the city's bustling grand plaza, the faint chime of a bell signaled the start of the festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food stalls lined the streets, selling star-shaped pastries and glittering drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Performers danced, and games of chance drew excited crowds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the cheerful atmosphere, Alex's sharp eyes scanned every corner for threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned, patting his empty pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have any money to buy the [Fate Gift Boxes] from the [Wandering Merchant], who was bound to appear during the festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd have to rely on Alice for that, but he also knew better than to even think about stealing from the merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was a walking disaster, capable of wiping out cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the academy's chairman could match his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex opened his [World Map], searching for his allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two golden dots blinked on the northern side of the festival, labeled [StarPillow] and [Aurelia].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gotcha,\" he muttered, closing the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Alex made his way through the crowd, whispers followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, isn't that him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"FateBreaker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, yeah, he helped us win during the [Monster Tide Trial] in Overlord City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's pace quickened as he cursed under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd forgotten to wear his [Mask of Concealment], but the attention from others and the fact they said his ID reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the academy's chairman noticed him, it could spell disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, he slipped the mask on, feeling the magic suppress his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reckless,\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of cheering caught Alex's attention as he approached the northern side of the festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large crowd had gathered around an arena marked with a glowing sign: [Friendly 1v1s].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the three main events of the [Golden Star Festival], a very popular event where players could test their skills without the fear of death or having to wait 30 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they died they wouldn't be kicked out of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed through the crowd of onlookers, catching sight of the two fighters in the ring: Alice and Aurelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice stood poised, her bow drawn and shimmering arrows ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her [Ice Arrows] sparkled in the festival lights, while her [Star Arrows] radiated a soft golden glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved with precision, her [Fox Ears] cosmetic twitching as she focused on her opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia, on the other hand, wielded her [Shadow Control Daggers] with effortless grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blades floated around her, guided by her will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were fluid, each step calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passive skill [Perfect Control] allowed her to manipulate the daggers with pinpoint accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd roared as the fight began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice was the first to strike, loosing a volley of [Ice Arrows].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They flew with blinding speed, each arrow leaving a frosty trail in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia darted to the side, her daggers spinning in a defensive arc, shattering the icy projectiles before they could reach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had been with Alex way less than Alice, the items he gave her, as well as the levels she gained, allowed him to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad,\" Aurelia said, her voice calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She flicked her wrist, sending her two daggers flying toward Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice leaped back, firing a [Star Arrow] mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden projectile curved, aimed directly at Aurelia's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aurelia vanished in a blur of darkness, reappearing behind Alice with a quick [Shadow Blink].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Aurelia could land a strike, Alice spun around, releasing another arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of the shot sent Aurelia skidding back, but she barely seemed fazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's step it up,\" Aurelia said, raising her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note that Alice was at a complete disadvantage in such a fight, as archers were obviously better off if there was a ton of distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that case, the arena had a limit, one that Aurelia could instantly shorten with her skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air grew heavy as her [Eternal Night Veil] activated, which was one of the [Shadow Control Daggers] unique skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Eternal Night Veil; Create a 200-meter radius of impenetrable darkness for 30 seconds. Within the veil, all shadow-based attacks deal 50% more damage.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness engulfed the arena, reducing visibility to almost nothing. Explore new worlds at empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the veil, Aurelia's daggers moved like vipers, striking from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice gritted her teeth, her eyes scanning for any sign of movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fired blindly, her arrows lighting up the darkness in brief flashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd held their breath as the two clashed, the sound of metal meeting magic echoing through the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia's daggers closed in, forcing Alice to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dodged and rolled, firing arrow after arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Aurelia's control was too precise, the daggers weaved around every attack, pressing closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you,\" Aurelia whispered, her daggers forming a deadly cross in mid-air, ready to strike Alice from both sides, \"Shadow Strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alice wasn't done yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaped high, firing a barrage of [Star Arrows] downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden rain disrupted Aurelia's control, forcing her to deflect the attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the darkness began to fade, the two combatants faced each other again, their breathing heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice narrowed her eyes, her hand twitching toward her quiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't used her [Blood Arrows] in this fight, but she was tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were her trump card, devastating but costly as she needed to use blood from monsters to create them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spotted Aurelia moving through the last remnants of the [Eternal Night Veil], her silhouette barely visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was all the opening Alice needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one swift motion, she nocked a [Blood Arrow] and fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson projectile sliced through the air, striking Aurelia square in the forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact was instantaneous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia's body disintegrated in a flash of blue light, signaling the end of the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[StarPillow wins!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted into cheers as Alice lowered her bow, her breathing steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia's form reappeared at the arena's entrance, fully intact but visibly impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was close,\" Aurelia admitted with a faint smile, \"Previously you were able to immediately kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice stepped out of the ring as the barrier surrounding the arena disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged a nod of mutual respect before the crowd swarmed them with applause and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they broke free from the crowd, Alice and Aurelia spotted Alex waiting nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms crossed, he was grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ale-\" Alice began to shout, but Aurelia quickly cut her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"FateBreaker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice winced, scratching her head in embarrassment, \"My bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine,\" Alex chuckled. \"Let's enjoy the festival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his lighthearted words, Alex couldn't shake the feeling of an ominous gaze lingering on him, as if someone was watching his every move.\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-06-03T12:12:47.112Z","2026-06-03T12:12:55.153Z",1,"novelbin.me","d6001fbeb372a55fb36fa0978c748f2fe951a231644c55cc1274efedcdc28600","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-215","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-213",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
