Chapter 87: Chapter 55&56
Chapter 55 Before Dawn
As soon as Yatogami Tohka got out of the sand and rocks and returned to the ground, she took a deep breath of fresh air. Although the air didn't smell good, filled with the smell of sand and blood, for her who had been holding her breath for nearly a minute, this strange smell was nothing.
She took a deep breath and finally recovered after a while. "Huh... Fortunately it worked."
Looking at her masterpiece under her feet, Yatogami Tohka thought thankfully. Although the planwas dangerous and there were many uncertainties, she still followed her planand successfully caused a small Landslide. As she thought, since the interior of this relic was once a human city, the scavenging team was able to enter and search for relics inside, so the interior of this relic must have a structure that supports the ground.
After she found the rock structures supporting the ground, she used the Last Sword without hesitation to smash all the rocks supporting the ground. The underground cave structure that had been deposited for five hundred years was completely turned into dust under the power of the Last Sword.
Without the rock structure supporting the ground, the Rhan covered by yellow sand naturally collapsed, trapping not only the animals on the ground, but also the animals underground that had not yet come out.
But thanks to this, Yatogami Tohka consumed most of her spiritual power when she used the Last Sword, and she almost suffocated to death in the rocks and sand. With the remaining spiritual power, she used the Sandalphon as a drill, and dug a tunnel from the ground all the way up to the ground. A few falling rocks naturally couldn't cause any harm to her, but the lack of oxygen was another matter.
During the minute she was buried, she had never felt time pass so slowly. Although holding your breath for a minute is nothing, holding your breath while doing extensive excavation work is simply not something a human should do. However, the result was good.
The beast tide was successfully stopped, and the Plantain finally repaired its engine and was able to take off. At the call of everyone, Yatogami Tohka quickly flew to the Plantain , which was about to accelerate, and Rhaned steadily on the deck. "Tohka, are you okay?" Chtholly asked worriedly, "Are you injured anywhere?"
"No, no, I'm just a little exhausted. I'll be fine after two minutes of rest." Yatogami Tohka raised her arm and made a powerful movement, telling everyone not to worry. Seeing that she was indeed fine, but just a little dusty and embarrassed, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She possesses an AAA-level divine spiritual outfit, as long as the enemy is not at the level of a hero or a god of earth, the damage to her is almost negligible.
Rather, she was more worried about the unprotected golden fairy.
The armor of the golden fairy is made only of fine steel. Although it is the highest level of defensive equipment in the floating continent archipelago, its defensive effect is not very good under the attack of beasts.
Most of the time, the golden fairies had to rely on their agility to dodge attacks, rather than relying on their protective gear. Yatogami Tohka focused her attention on the five golden fairies.
Although they were all injured to some extent, at least they were not missing any limbs. Originally, before rushing into the entrance of the ruins, she was still worried that if she gave them the full pressure of the beast tide, they would be crushed. Now that she saw that they were all fine, Yatogami Tohka was relieved.
"Bang!"
However, her worries had just disappeared for a short while before her heart started beating again.
All I heard was the holy sword falling onto the deck, making a crisp clanging sound.
Nephren, who had been holding on, could no longer hold on after seeing Yatogami Tohka was safe and sound.
When the beast tide was halfway through, her mind seemed to be filled with lead, making her thoughts dull and she almost couldn't even hold the holy sword. If it weren't for the protection of other companions, she would have been hit by the beast.
Although she gritted her teeth and persevered until now, she couldn't hold on any longer, and her fragile appearance was revealed. "Nephern...?"
Seeing Nephren holding her head and looking like she might fall down at any time, Yatogami Tohka didn't realize what was happening for a while.
However, the surrounding golden fairies showed serious expressions after seeing Nephren appearance.
"I'm sorry. Maybe I used too much magic power just now. I feel dizzy." Nephren tried to keep her voice as calm as possible. "Don't worry about it. Just let me rest for a while."
"Open your eyes."
Rhantolk walked up to Nephren and said in an irresistible tone: "Nephren, let me see your eyes." Knowing that she couldn't get away with it, Nephren sighed slightly and put down her hand that was covering her forehead.
Then, everyone saw a hint of scarlet gradually spreading from her pupils. Seeing this scene, everyone's faces changed drastically in an instant.
Chtholly looked sad, Itheah remained silent, Noph widened her eyes in disbelief, and Rhantolk bit her lips. As golden fairies, they certainly understood what this meant.
Erosion from previous life.
They are essentially undead spirits. Once they use too much magic power and reach a certain limit, they will face this irreversible state. The memories from their past lives will gradually merge into their consciousness, and the memories that do not belong to them will merge, conflict, and dissolve with their original memories. In the later stages of the past life erosion disease, all memories of the past life and the present life will turn into nothingness, becoming an empty shell without memories. But why is it now?
The golden fairies clenched their fists unwillingly.
Yatogami Tohka brought them a great gift. The appearance of the spirit crystal may be able to create new weapons to replace the golden fairy. The hope of freedom is obviously within reach. They only need to wait for a few more days and they will be able to change their fate of being weapons and die. They no longer
need to fight for anyone and can live in this world equally with other orcs.
Even if it was just a possibility, it was still a possibility full of possibility. Nephren face showed no sadness or joy, just as it always did.
She was the weakest golden fairy, and also the one who feared death the most. She had thought countless times about how she would face it if one day she would be entangled by the erosion of her past life. However, when this moment really came, she did not feel afraid.
Just a slight regret.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I can't witness the future of the golden Fairy with you." Nephren lowered her eyes and said softly.
"I'm sorry, Tohka, I can't keep the promise we made to each other."
Chapter 56: Even the Clay Buddha Has Temperament
Compared to the golden fairies, Yatogami Tohka knowledge of past life erosion is obviously not as good as theirs. But no matter how slow-witted a person is, after seeing the expressions of Chtholly and the others and hearing the words of Nephren, he should understand what happened. Past life erosion is no different from slow death for the golden fairies.
Although there have been long-lived fairies in the past five hundred years, the vast majority of golden fairies will show symptoms of erosion from their previous lives before the age of twenty, and the more magic power
they use, the earlier the time will come.
Once the symptoms of the erosion of the previous life appear, you can live for a few months at most, or only a few weeks at least. Yatogami Tohka took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the anxiety and tension in her heart. Because Nephren symptoms are not incurable.
"Fortunately, the first Spirit I played was Tokisaki Kurumi." She thought thankfully, "If I played another Spirit in the previous life, there would really be no way to solve the problem of erosion in the previous life."
Among all the elves, just in terms of the performance of the angels, Tokisaki Kurumi's Zafkiel can obviously be ranked in the top. And in this situation, Zafkiel Four Bullets, the bullets that can turn the body back to the past, can definitely come in handy. As long as the Four Bullets can be used on Nephren to turn her body back to the time before the beast tide appeared, the symptoms of past life erosion will naturally disappear. "I have a way to solve the symptoms of past life erosion."
Looking at Nephren, Yatogami Tohka said seriously: "Remember the spirit crystal I gave to Suowong and Lord Ebon Candle ? As long as I can get it back and borrow its power, Rhen can be saved, but we have to go quickly."
Although they didn't understand the reason, Yatogami Tohka confident tone still made everyone believe her.
After all, she had no reason to lie.
Perhaps, this being from outside the world really has the ability to reverse the erosion of the previous life. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to let her try her own method and give it a try.
No one objected.
"Let's go find the Captain."
After deciding on the destination and preparing to go to the second floating Island, the others took Nephren back to the lounge so that she could have a good rest.
Chtholly and Yatogami Tohka came to the engine room where the purple ghost was.
Although the engine had been repaired, he still sat there, as if he had exhausted all his energy from the repairs. The two golden fairies came towards him aggressively, and the short and pretentious purple ghost couldn't help but feel a little wary and apprehensive. "What do you want to do? Without orders, golden fairies are not allowed to walk on the airship without permission." The purple ghost scolded in a stern voice, "The beast tide is over, this is not the place for you to come, go back immediately!"
"Captain, we need to go to the second floating Island," Chtholly requested. "Our companion suffered from symptoms of erosion from her previous life during the battle just now. Only by reaching there can we have a chance to save her."
"Previous life erosion? Isn't that something that can't be cured?" Purple Ghost asked doubtfully, "Don't try to lie to me. I've been in the army for so many years and I've never heard of a golden fairy that can cure this symptom. What on earth do you want to do by going to the Second Floating Island?"
"There wasn't any before, but there is now." Chtholly answered sincerely, "The longer we delay, the less chance she will be cured. Please, sir, for my friend's sake, please take a detour to the second floating Island."
"I don't have that much time to take care of your companions! I already have enough headaches here!" Purple Ghost said impatiently, "The maintenance of the Plantain , the treatment of the wounded on board, and the communication with the Guard Wing Army Headquarters, as a first-class military attaché, I am very busy!"
"Hey, can you show some humanity?"
Yatogami Tohka at the side couldn't help but speak, angrily scolding: " Nephren was eroded by her past life in order to protect you, but you are not willing to give even a little help?!"
"It is your duty to protect the orcs and the floating continent archipelago!"
The purple ghost was obviously annoyed by the interruption. He raised his voice and glared at her: "Don't forget who you are. The meaning of your existence is to sacrifice for us. I have no reason to delay my journey for a golden fairy that is about to be scrapped!"
"you!"
The anger in Yatogami Tohka eyes almost materialized, and in an instant a powerful pressure was released, pressing him from all directions. Purple Ghost heart suddenly tightened, and he coughed twice, restraining the expression on his face.
In the Guardian Wing Army, there are very few first-class military officers like Graycrack who respect the Golden Fairies as warriors. Most of them are indifferent to the Golden Fairies, just like the Purple Ghosts.
But even so, they would not show their indifference.
After all, the golden Fairys are not real weapons, but creatures with feelings and intelligence. If they are really angered, their power is not something that the orcs can contend with. Because of the failure of this investigation mission, the purple ghost was already in a bad mood, so he couldn't hide the words that he couldn't say openly. "Ahem, what I said just now was a little inappropriate."
But he still couldn't bring himsSpirit to apologize. The purple ghost said vaguely: "Anyway, the erosion from the previous life is nothing new to you.
Compared with this problem, I have more important things to solve. You should go back first..."
However, before he could finish, he suddenly felt his neck tighten and his feet left the ground. Yatogami Tohka lifted him up by the collar, lifting the purple ghost who was less than half her height into the air, her eyes and tone as cold as ice.
"I'm not discussing this with you." She said word by word, "Now, immediately, go to the second floating Island." "Tohka..."
Seeing Yatogami Tohka reckless behavior, Chtholly also became anxious for a moment. Her kind nature prevented her from coercing others, but at the same time, she could not stand idly by and watch Nephren illness. So, she could only stand there with a complicated expression, not knowing what to do.
But it's enough.
"You! Do you know what you are doing?!"
Being threatened by the Golden Fairy for the first time, the Purple Ghost was terrified and struggled helplessly in mid-air. He was completely panicked.
He could use the power in his hands to look down on anyone, no matter if they were ordinary orcs or golden fairies. But when they were no longer afraid of the power in his hands and rose up to resist, he suddenly realized how powerless he was. "I'm teaching a scum who doesn't treat my friend as a human being!" Yatogami Tohka snorted coldly, "Don't say you are a first-class military officer, even if the person standing here is a great sage, I will beat him up!"
"Hey, golden fairy over there, don't you care about your own kind?" Seeing that the guy in front of him couldn't communicate with common sense, the purple ghost couldn't help but look at Chtholly beside him for help: "Threatening the commander is a serious crime! In serious cases, you will be beheaded!" "..."
Chtholly looked away, pretending she hadn't heard anything.
Seeing the other golden fairy in the same state, the last bit of hope in the purple ghost's heart was extinguished.
"I'll ask you one last time."
Yatogami Tohka eyebrows were raised, and a dangerous aura emanated from her body: "Do you want me to throw you from here to the ground, or to the second floating Island?"
"I..."
Purple Ghost swallowed his saliva and wisely gave up struggling in the face of this overwhelming force.
"I'll go. I'll go to the second floating Island."
