Chapter 400 Sleeping Darkness

Gekmine Shrine, under the cherry blossom trees.

Sakura's figure slowly emerged from the tree, then landed gently on the ground and opened her eyes.

Seeing this, the other people who were waiting hurried over and started asking questions one by one.

"Are you okay? Sakura."

"Are you injured?"

"How's it going?"

"How is it? Do you know anything?"

Faced with concerned questions, Sakura shook her head to indicate that she was not injured, but when she heard questions about her condition, she was suddenly stunned.

Seeing this, Xiao asked quickly: "Didn't you see Kuro?"

"No, I saw him."

After reacting, Sakura lowered her head and said weakly: "It's just that I didn't ask him what happened recently."

"???"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ke immediately exploded, gesticulating and saying, "Then what are you doing there!?"

"Yes... By the way, I saw the scene before Mr. Kuro's death."

Sakura realized it belatedly and quickly said to the others, "Mr. Kuro seems to have died in Elio's house. Why is that?"

"Huh? Elio? Are you talking about your classmates?"

"Ah."

Sakura nodded and continued, "I saw Mr. Kuro at Elio's house before he passed away. He was sitting in the familiar red high-back chair that I had sat in before."

Hearing what Sakura said, Xiao Ke frowned and said, "How is that possible? The place where Kuro died is..."

"Yes……"

Xiao Ke, who was about to talk about Kuro's death, was stunned and said stupidly: "Strange? Where was it?"

"Do not you remember?"

"My memory of that part seems to be a little fuzzy..."

Seeing this, Sakura thought about it and said in surprise: "Yue has been to Elio's house before, but he didn't say anything."

"Could it be that their memories have been erased?" Li Xiaolang thought for a second and guessed.

"But who did it?"

"That was Clow Reed's masterpiece."

Just as Sakura asked the question, a familiar but slightly muffled voice sounded nearby.

Following the sound, they saw a figure in a black robe silently watching them from above the torii gate in front of the cherry tree.

A breeze blew by, and the man's black robe rustled. Under the sunlight, his face was not hidden in the shadows.

Seeing the mysterious man finally appear, Sakura hurried forward and shouted in disbelief: "Elio!?"

"Is this the transfer student you mentioned before?" Xiao Ke stared at Elio standing on the torii, then turned to Sakura and asked.

"Uh-huh!"

"Then why is his aura exactly the same as Kuro's!?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoying's eyes widened instantly. After carefully sensing it, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Really!"

Sensing Elio's huge magic power, Li Xiaolang frowned and asked: "Hiiragi, what is going on!?"

"That's what happened~"

Suddenly, another voice was heard, and Akizuki Nakuru slowly walked out from the side of the torii.

Seeing this familiar person, Xiaoying was surprised and asked, "Aren't you Sister Qiuyue who is in the same class as my brother?"

"Well, but my real name is..."

As Nakuru answered, a veil-like curtain wrapped her up, and when the magic circle appeared and the magic power flowed, she had changed her appearance.

Nakuru, who had transformed back into her true form, looked at Sakura and continued to speak back, "Ruby Moon."

"You will find out soon enough."

And after Ruby changed back to her original form, Sibi slowly floated out while talking.

Seeing Sibi suddenly appear, Xiaoke was quite surprised and said, "Sibi!"

"My name is not Sibi either, my name is..."

With the same transformation process, Sibi slowly revealed his original form as an elegant and slender black panther. He looked at Xiaoke and continued.

"Spinaru Sun."

Looking at the two who appeared, Li Xiaolang subconsciously asked: "Wait, why do they look so much like Yue and Keruberos?"

"Of course." Ruby smiled softly.

Spineru also took the opportunity to say, "Because I - Spineru Sun and Ruby Moon, were also created by the same person who created Kerberos and Moon."

"What!?"

Hearing Sibi's answer, Xiaoke frowned tightly. At this time, Elio took out a sun key and put it in his palm and chanted.

"The key that hides the power of darkness, please show me your true self. According to the contract, Elio orders you to -"

"The seal is lifted." After the spell was recited, a sun wand taller than Elio himself appeared in his hand.

Only then did he continue, "My name in this life is Elio, and my name in my previous life was Kuro Rido!"

Looking at the wand in Elio's hand, Sakura was extremely surprised and said in surprise, "The same wand and magic circle as Mr. Kuro!?"

"Yes, that is the wand that Kuro used before. In other words, that guy is indeed Kuro's reincarnation." Xiao Ke replied from the side.

But after saying that, it couldn't help but look at Elio and asked loudly: "Even so, why did you do those things that bothered Sakura?"

"Because I have something I want, Kruberos."

Elio smiled slightly, and Xiao Ke also saw Kuro's smile in his vision. He subconsciously murmured: "Kuro..."

"So……"

"and many more!"

Just when Elio was about to say start, Xia Yu, who had been watching quietly, suddenly spoke. Facing the gazes of others, he did not explain, but suddenly pulled Zhishi and ran towards the shade of a tree.

After running to the position, he hugged Tomoyo with his back hand and half-lay down under the shade of the tree, then he made an OK gesture to Elio.

"Okay."

I'm going to faint soon anyway, so instead of fainting on the ground, I might as well lie down here for now.

This is a necessary process for Sakura to convert all of the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards. Naturally, he just needs to watch and doesn't need to do anything.

Seeing Xia Yu lying down, Elio raised his wand and continued what he had not finished just now.

"Well, let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle lit up, and boundless magic power emerged from the magic circle, turning into a golden light that shot straight into the sky.

Then, in the center of the golden light, dark ripples spread out, engulfing the setting sun in the west and the rising moon in the east.

As the ripples continued, the entire sky turned completely dark, and everyone in the area affected by the magic fell into a deep sleep.

But before Sakura could ask Elio what he had done, she suddenly noticed that Li Syaoran beside her looked shaky.

Seeing this, she quickly reached out to support Li Xiaolang and asked nervously, "Are you okay, Xiaolang?"

Li Xiaolang did not reply, but stared at Elio on the torii and asked: "What did you do!?"

"I summoned darkness. This city has been surrounded by darkness and all creatures have fallen into a deep sleep."

"What did you say?"

"Why are you doing this?"

Facing the two people's questioning, Elio's mouth curled up a faint smile and said lightly: "Originally, I wanted to let you fall asleep, but you became stronger."

"If the darkness is not lifted after dawn, the people of this town will remain in deep sleep."

"How long has it been!?"

“Forever.”

Hearing this, Sakura quickly turned around to look at Xia Yu and Chiyo who were leaning against a tree and had fallen asleep, as well as Li Syaoran who was staggering beside her and was being supported by her.

She was extremely anxious and asked, "How can we wake everyone up?"

"Only by using your magic to break my magic can this darkness be dispelled."

"how come!"

Xiao Ke, who was standing by, heard this and hurriedly helped Sakura out, saying, "It's impossible for Sakura to break Kuro's magic now!"

However, Elio remained unmoved and said calmly: "While you are hesitating, time is passing by second by second, Sakura."

"But……"

Sakura, who was supporting Syaoran, lowered her head when she heard that, then quickly raised her head and said, "How can I use magic on you!"

Hearing this gentle answer, Elio still said coldly: "Then, in order to make you make up your mind to use magic, I will play with you for a while."

After saying that, Spiner beside him suddenly flew into the air, a red light flashed at the corner of his mouth, and a beam of light shot straight at Sakura.

Seeing this, Xiaokan, who was standing next to Sakura, quickly folded his wings and transformed into his original form.

"Don't even think about hurting Sakura!"

As a magic barrier emerged, Spinalu's attack was like a drop in the ocean, without causing any ripples at all.

But the attack was not over yet. Seeing that this attack failed, Spineru changed his position again and another red beam of light attacked.

Xiao Ke did not just defend himself. He also opened his mouth wide. Sparks appeared at the corners of his mouth and a spiral flame was sprayed out.

The light beam and the flame collided with each other and exploded suddenly in the air.

Seeing that his attack was blocked again, Spiner chuckled and said, "You are quite powerful, but..."

It looked at Elio, and Elio raised his wand. With the blessing of magic, the gem on Spinalu's forehead suddenly lit up, and an amplified beam of light was ejected again.

This time, the flame and the light beam were not evenly matched, and the red light beam easily defeated the flame.

Xiao Ke, who was at a disadvantage, was knocked away and fell to the ground helplessly. He wanted to struggle to get up, but he couldn't stand up no matter what.

"The power of the master is different, and there is indeed a big difference."

Sakura's pupils flickered when she heard Ruby say this above her, but before she could make up her mind, Spiner launched another attack.

A strong wind blew and the bricks on the ground shattered, but just as the wind was about to sweep Sakura in, another barrier appeared.

Yue, holding Touya in one hand, slowly descended from the sky, with magical light shining in his hand.
