It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 307 The World Line is Collapsing

For an instant.

The wind suddenly sounded.

The sharp silver sword cut through the air, directly turning into a fatal blow in the flowing wind.

"Ok?"

The girl's burgundy right eye widened slightly, and she seemed a little surprised.

The next moment, the sword light suddenly slashed through where she was, and at the same time, several spell lights burst out at close range, from fireballs to lightning, pouring out one after another!

From the rumbling sound of explosions to the crackling sound of electricity punching through the air.

The huge noise echoed in the empty cracks, and after being reflected by the cave walls many times, it finally became extremely creepy, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Accompanied by a chaotic noise.

Various pieces of gravel and soil fell to the ground, and the ground in the area also shook slightly.

——Even if it’s just “slightly”.

After quickly completing an explosive surprise attack, Miss Ciri teleported backwards without hesitation, choosing a teleportation point as far away as possible within her field of vision.

The next moment, her figure appeared at that point.

After doing all this, Miss Ciri let out a light breath, allowing her tense body to relax a little.

Of course she understood that in the current geological environment, taking action and making some noise would be a rather dangerous thing to do.

No one can tell whether this place will experience a second collapse or something.

But there are some things that cannot be helped. Rather than worrying about these trivial matters, she cares more about completely destroying the enemies in the darkness and not having a pair of eyes staring at her all the time.

So as soon as she noticed some unusual movements, she decisively formulated a simple response plan.

First he pretended to leave, then he unexpectedly went around and attacked from behind...

As of now, this simple plan is quite successful and it directly defeated the opponent.

"Oh, I was careless..."

A giggle was heard and light footsteps were heard in the darkness.

Miss Ciri's heartstrings, which had just relaxed, were lifted again, and her eyes widened at the same time, because in the dark vision, she saw that slender figure.

The gorgeous red and black dress was decorated with lace, and her two ponytails, one long and one short, hung down naturally. Her left eye was shaped like a golden dial.

Her state is completely different from that of the pampered young lady just now, just like a gorgeous blooming rose, but what can be confirmed is that it is definitely the same person?

——What is going on?
——Not only is he not dead, he’s not even seriously injured?

Miss Ciri suddenly looked somewhat doubtful. She gently clenched the silver sword in her hand and subconsciously exerted force on her knuckles.

She was very sure that she had definitely hit the target just now, and the feeling from the blade told her so.

Add to that those spells that explode at close range, don't make much noise, and shouldn't cause landslides, there will be some results, right?
But now it seems that this is not the case.

So--

Is this some kind of immortality, or super-fast self-healing ability?

Miss Ciri subconsciously made some associations, and decisively gripped the sword, her mind working rapidly, thinking about how to fight against this troublesome enemy.

It seems that at times like this...sealing spells can always have a good effect.

And at this time——

"There's no need to be so nervous, young lady. I'm not your enemy..."

The elegant and gorgeous girl in a red and black dress said with a smile.

Her words and actions were impeccable, just like a calm and composed young lady.

"Or rather, maybe the opposite is true. I might be your ally..."

"..."

"..."

"I don't think there is any possibility of cooperation between you and me." Miss Ciri did not let down her guard and continued to stare closely at the girl opposite.

"Ha, just a minute ago, I was thinking the same thing..."

The girl opposite said with a smile, and bowed gracefully.

"First, let me introduce myself and show my sincerity... My name is Tokisaki Kurumi, and as for my race, I can be considered an elf."

"…Elf?"

Ciri immediately raised her eyebrows. She was not very fond of this racial name.

It can even be said that there is some degree of PTSD - post-traumatic stress disorder.

However, rationality prevailed, and she took a deep breath, realizing that the girl in front of her should have nothing to do with the group of wild hunters in her impression.

"Okay, elf... I think I met a fellow like you before. Is she your companion?"

She thought about it carefully and asked tentatively.

It seems that the girl not long ago was like this too. Could she also be an "elf" in this world's concept?
"That's a pity. Maybe you did meet another elf, but I don't have any companions."

Tokisaki Kurumi shook her head and said she was regretful, but her expression was still as beautiful as a flower.

It was obvious that the girl didn't care about having companions or not.

In this regard, her words just now seemed very frank, that is, perhaps before this, she really had no intention of forming an alliance with Miss Ciri, and might even have had bad intentions.

It was only later that he changed his mind.

Even though she was directly counterattacked by Miss Ciri, Tokisaki Kurumi still believed that the two sides could join forces.

Because she thought the other person needed her help, and likewise, she also saw what she needed from the other person.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about our cooperation and the things that we are all interested in..."

Tokisaki Kurumi said this with a smile, and pointed to the broken sword that was slanted into the ground not far away.

Ciri's expression changed slightly.

She had naturally noticed the broken sword a long time ago, but before she was completely sure of the girl's intentions and position, she couldn't go over and study it on her own.

That's one of the two swords Geralt carries on his back...

However, it was not the steel sword or silver sword that she used in the past as a demon hunter, but an ancient style that was very unfamiliar to her.

"First of all, to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, I just picked this up..."

Tokisaki Kurumi spoke, and carefully observed the subtle changes in the other person's eyes and expressions.

"It seems like you know it better than me, right?"

Tokisaki Kurumi cares about this very much. This care is not a whim, but comes from the depths of her heart, a desire and pursuit for power.

From the broken sword, she could feel that some extremely pure and powerful "spiritual power" was slowly flowing from the crack.

It is like the brightest star in the deep night sky, emitting a light that cannot be looked directly at.

It was as if within this broken sword body, there was an independent advanced power source with extremely strong energy intensity.

This is undoubtedly exactly what she needs...

If a broken sword could provide such a huge amount of "spiritual power", then she seemed to be very close to her goal all of a sudden.

However, the problem is that Tokisaki Kurumi cannot easily use this power.

Even the broken sword seemed to have some kind of "identity verification" mechanism built into it... just like the high-tech methods used by humans to confirm identity through fingerprints, iris scanning, and DNA matching.

Only verified holders can master those high-tech products.

Those who fail to pass the verification will be denied service by the system without hesitation.

In fact, if this strange sword hadn't been broken, Tokisaki Kurumi even suspected that it might have some kind of automatic interception system -

Able to autonomously remove any intruders who attempt to "illegally usurp permissions"...

Rather than simply refusing to respond.

Of course, this was just her personal speculation, lacking solid evidence to support it. And putting this aside, what she needed most at the moment was to find a possible breakthrough.

If this was a technological product from Earth, with her extraordinary mobility and intelligence gathering capabilities, she might be able to find a way to crack it.

After all, even if DEM's cutting-edge technologies are still in the laboratory stage, Tokisaki Kurumi can still try to make breakthroughs through some means and channels.

Because of her super mobility and extremely powerful intelligence gathering capabilities, it can be said that "wherever there is a DEM facility, there is her clone."

But now, the situation clearly does not apply to Earth's rules -

Tokisaki Kurumi was very sure that things like "Thought Key Pattern", "Six Paths Roulette", "Tenso List" and so on were definitely not within the scope of what a normal technology system could cover...

Although some individual words vaguely remind people of certain concepts of ancient culture, they are ultimately just superficial glimpses and it is difficult to touch the essence.

In that brief but extremely intuitive "connection" state, the elf vaguely felt that behind what he was connected to was an extremely huge system and order.

It seemed to transcend the entire planet, and everything in it was contained in a cage.

and so--

Only then would she think about trying to find a suitable entry point from the woman opposite her.

"..."

"..."

"What I know is very limited..."

After a long silence, Miss Ciri said carefully: "But I can tell you that there should be two swords like this, and the other one may still be intact..."

She thought about it and felt that perhaps limited cooperation could be carried out first.

This time the commotion was so big, and there was no telling how much trouble there would be later. Perhaps I couldn't do it alone, and finding Geralt's whereabouts would be even more difficult.

Since the elf on the other side cares so much about this strange long sword weapon, why not use it to attract the other elf and let him help me find the whereabouts of the other sword first...

Maybe I can find my adoptive father at the same time?

Miss Shirley thought so.

"Oh, is there another one that might be intact..."

Tokisaki Kurumi blinked and smiled sweetly: "This is really good news, but this is not what I want..."

"If you want to cooperate, at least be sincere. Even if you know very little, at least tell us what you know first...how about that?"

The other party didn't take the bait.

Miss Ciri's expression was calm, but she sighed inwardly. It looked like the elf cared a lot about this weapon, but... it didn't seem that simple.

Of course it's not that simple.

She had not touched the sword and had not experienced Tokisaki Kurumi being rejected by the power of the sword, so she would not understand.

But Tokisaki Kurumi herself knew clearly that this thing only had enormous power, but it required the user to have some kind of "qualification to receive the ordination" and some kind of "Taoist priesthood" to be able to control it.

This is the key.

As for the integrity or breakage of the weapon, it is not the focus for the time being.

It might even be that another complete weapon is more dangerous, and you can't even get close to it.

at the same time.

On the aerial battleship "Flaxinas".

"Just, are we going to set off like this?" Shidao Gokawa pulled the corners of his mouth, feeling very insecure. He waved his arms, trying to draw the attention of those professionals.

At least give me some equipment!

Or maybe give me some weapons?

I am just an ordinary person with nothing. How can I ask myself to run through the poisonous circle with my physical body? Isn't it too difficult for me?
"Let's go. After all, you don't need to explore those cracks. The initial plan is just to wander around the periphery and try to encounter the elf from before..."

Itsuka Kotori waved her hands, and impatiently urged her brother to go up and send—

"So there's no need for anything else. Carrying overly professional equipment can easily arouse vigilance. Thanks to AST, the elf is very sensitive to the tactical display device... As for safety issues, you don't have to worry about that..."

"..."

"..."

"This brother-sister relationship is so real..."

In front of the passage door not far away, Xia Zhi was complaining about the scene with interest, and took the coffee cup from the side and took a sip.

Then he turned around and gave a thumbs up to the silver-haired, blue-eyed woman next to him with obvious dark circles under her eyes:

"Ms. Murasame's cooking skills are really good. Do you make coffee often?"

"You flatter me..."

Murasame Reine lowered her head and spoke modestly, her hands hanging at her sides unconsciously clenching into fists.

But she suppressed her emotions and didn't show them...

Because everyone else on the aerial battleship did not show any reaction, but strangely acquiesced in the rationality of this scene.
