The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 104 - Enough with the useless chapters!

"Enough with the nonsense!" Heledi raised her wand. "This barrier is very difficult to break from the inside. It would take three mages of average to above-average skill casting a spell together from the outside to break it. Right now, only that good-for-nothing Haikar is outside. Don't expect him to come in and save you."

Borist wasn't intimidated by Heledi's words; he simply said, "Tell me your reason for wanting to kill me."

“The reason… you know I’m going to kill you, so you must be hiding some secret,” Heledi said, raising his wand and asserting, “We’re probably hiding the same secret.”

“The same secret?” Borist said, while reinforcing the barriers around himself and his two sisters.

Within the consciousness space, upon hearing this, Lu Renkui turned to look at the system WQBYRZM and asked, "Does Heledi also have a system with her?"

"No, generally speaking, we can display how many systems exist in a world. Right now, including us, there are only three. The other two have nothing to do with the protagonist," the system WQBYRZM replied.

“Then why did Heledi say that we share a secret with him?” Lu Renkui asked, “We don’t have his magic book.”

“He may have been reborn,” said the system WQBYRZM, summarizing Heledi’s methods of revenge.

“Rebirth?! No, can a soul really transcend the boundaries of time, seize one’s past body, and then live again?” Lu Renkui opened his mouth in astonishment.

"Rebirth is not really about the soul returning to the past and taking over its past body. To be precise, they had a precognitive dream in which all their experiences were extremely real, so real and detailed that it was hard to distinguish between reality and dream."

"So when they wake up, they feel like they've been reborn, that's what rebirth is—it's really just a dream."

"A dream?"

"Correct."

"So, did Heledi dream about how the story would unfold, which is why she wanted to get rid of Borist? That way, no one would stand in her way to fame anymore," Lu Renkui pondered.

"So it seems so," said System WQBYRZM. Moreover, besides being superior to Helene in every way, Borist also had the upper hand emotionally—don't forget that Helene was killed by Evangeline and Celeste working together. Of these two, Evangeline was a woman Helene couldn't have, while Celeste was one of Helene's earliest concubines.

"Those two were also the first to pursue Borist."

"Frustration in my career and misfortune in my love life—both of these things were indirectly caused by Borist." Lu Renkui fell silent, and in a sense, he was quite desperate.

"But will Borist die here? After all, the first half of Heledi's spellbook is pretty normal, but the second half is full of forbidden spells that can kill people!" Lu Renkui was a little worried.

“He already used it on the stage before, and it was easily neutralized by the spells we’ve seen before, so there’s no need to worry.” As soon as System WQBYRZM finished speaking, Heledi on the other side unleashed a powerful spell.

A skeleton charged straight at the three Borist siblings. Borist didn't panic; he ran through the spells in his mind and finally chose the protective spell from the book his father had written.

A beam of green magical light shot out and struck the skull directly on the forehead.

The skeleton began to grow flesh and blood all over its body, and then it turned into a beautiful woman.

The woman smiled and then disappeared from the spot.

“Look, you definitely share the same secret as me.” Heledi gripped his wand tightly, he couldn’t believe that Borist hadn’t been reborn. “Last time you easily broke my spell, and now you have a way to deal with it too. You know where those spells come from.”

“I don’t know,” Borest said truthfully.

"Shut up! Don't play dumb with me, you clearly know!" Heledi's entire being seemed to scream disbelief. "Otherwise, how could you possibly know how to neutralize these forbidden techniques, and release them so easily!"

"You used forbidden techniques?" Borist narrowed his eyes and cracked his knuckles.

"I use forbidden techniques, haven't you read any forbidden books?" Heledi sneered. "Otherwise, where did you get these spells that neutralize my attacks?"

“Because I read more books, and you’re illiterate,” Borest said expressionlessly, uttering a highly insulting remark.
