Ark Undead

However, her body was no longer at a level that the Terran race could achieve. After a brief examination, she simply needed a place to process her experiences.

After all, Skadi had never had a fixed place to live before. Even on Rhodes Island, Skadi would just find a room that hadn't been used before to stay in.

At most, I'll use the dormitory for a bit and then find a corner to squat down and rest.

With Rhodes Island's growing number of allies and the surge in the number of cooperative operators stationed on its ships, finding an empty room is no easy task for Skadi.

Therefore, some time ago, Skadi had to go to the HR department to get room data from Zilan to see where there were still vacancies.

Skadi hasn't contacted Zilan yet, and she has nowhere to go, so why would she propose leaving the medical department at this time?

"Do you feel that the accommodation here is not very good?"

The medical officer adjusted his glasses and then picked up a pen.

Even though Skadi doesn't have a fixed place to live, since she believes she no longer needs medical care, she should be allowed to leave.

Several other operators who returned from Iberia need to undergo psychological examinations.

As he spoke, the officer signed his name on the discharge application with the pen in his hand.

"No, I've found a place to stay."

Skadi shook her head and took her discharge application.

She wants to use this to get the room key.

Melanie's room key.

Skadi had already visited the Undead's room a few days ago and had asked for his permission.

She was going to live with Melantha.

However, she needed to explain the specific reasons to the Undead in Melantha's absence.

Her intuition told her that it was probably not some pointless hallucination.

"Please, sit down."

Skadi listened to the slightly hoarse voice, and her tense body relaxed instantly.

A wave of warmth washed over her, and her body, which seemed to have been immersed in water for hundreds of years, felt the heat at that moment.

"Ah."

After giving a response, Skadi simply sat down by the campfire.

Melanie isn't here today, which happens to be the perfect opportunity.

only...

Skadi glanced at the woman leaning against the Undead.

The woman, whose eyes were covered by a special mask, was humming a song, sitting by the campfire with her legs drawn up, mending black cloth with her needle and thread.

Skadi recognized it; it was the cloak that the Undead would wear over their armor to protect themselves from the wind and sand when they went out.

Skadi was extremely wary of this mysterious woman.

It's not a bad thing, it's just that her origins are too mysterious, and she was given an opportunity to enter the scene when she was in Iberia.

The image of this woman standing at her door with a spiral sword on that rainy night left a deep impression on Skadi.

It's terrifying.

"Go ahead."

The Undead took a piece of wood from behind him, easily tore it in half, and handed it to Skadi.

"What's up?"

Skadi paused for a moment, then accepted the half-block of wood, flattered and surprised.

She imitated the undead, breaking the half-block of wood into thinner strips and throwing them one by one into the campfire in front of her.

"Didn't I come to see you a couple of days ago, wanting to live with Melanie?"

Skadi cleared her throat and continued.

"Uh, I think I should tell you why."

"reason?"

The Undead looked at Skadi with some confusion.

"You're not... very close to Melantha?"

"Yes, but it's not to the point where we absolutely have to live together."

Skadi nodded, then shook her head.

"I usually sleep alone, but after this coma... after I woke up, there are some things in my mind."

"You know, I accepted the captain's gift, the blood that was nurtured within his body, didn't I?"

The Undead paused for a moment, then turned to look at the Fire Mage beside him.

The Fire Mage and the Undead exchanged glances and nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed true.

The Undead didn't really notice at the time, since he was still confronting Theresis's phantom when it happened.

"Okay, please continue."

The Undead came to their senses and let Skadi continue.

“Those are parts of the remnants of the ancient gods, possessing strange power. However, when he and I exchanged blood, the abyssal will contained within them was plundered by Isamara, leaving only the blood of the Sea King, which can almost be called pure.”

"This allowed my level of existence to... evolve."

"Especially after Isamara was pierced and suppressed by you, I seem to have become the most powerful of the remaining Sea Heirs."

As she spoke, Skadi's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

She didn't understand what was going on either; the birth of the Hai Si race was very strange.

It is a race born under the most oppressive conditions of life, capable of adapting to any environment. However, while receiving the gifts of the Abyss, it was also affected by the Primordial Flame power that was plundered by the Abyss, and thus yearns for the power of the Primordial Flame.

Like an insatiable mouth, their people are linked together by countless invisible channels.

"Some time ago, while I was in a coma, I saw something during the process of receiving the blood of Hai Si."

The power of the Lord of the Old Gods is dreams, but these dreams are not only derived from combinations of known information, but also include some projections of the future.

Just like the dreams they experienced.

Skadi's lips twitched twice.

"I think that's the future."

At this point, the immortal who had been breaking firewood stopped what he was doing.

Skadi felt a gaze sweep over her, revealing every hidden trace.

When Skadi looked up, she saw that both the Undead and the Fire Mage were staring at her.

"continue."

The Undead Hand stopped, and his thoughts focused on Skadi.

“I saw Melantha…it must be Melantha. I can’t see her face clearly, but it really looks like her.”

Skadi tried hard to recall the fleeting glimpse from her dream, but she couldn't remember what it looked like at all.

"In short, a girl who looks a lot like Melantha."

"She stood under the starry sky, her body ablaze with dark red flames. And in her right hand she held a rusty straight knife."

"The part near the handle is very similar to this."

Skadi pointed to the spiral sword in the campfire.

She meant the twisted spiral on the surface of the Spiral Sword.

For a moment, both the Undead and the Fire Mage fell silent.

Is this the future?

They can't say for sure, but if it comes from the power of the Old Gods, it's possible.

Because among the gifts of the Abyss are fragments of the power of the Primordial Flame.

Fire attracts fire; this is an established fact.

What Skadi saw during the catalyst of the blood of the ancient gods must have come from a corner of the future.

But why Melantha of all people?

Moreover, what weapon in her hand is extremely similar to a spiral sword?

"Hai Si's evolution is an instinct. After awakening, I immediately felt a desire to be close to Melantha. This desire was unavoidable, so I wanted to live with Melantha."

Skadi said.

“The pure blood of the ancient gods gave me a glimpse into the future, and I cannot keep it to myself, so I am here to tell you.”

"I hope this helps."

To be honest, Skadi was also a little uneasy.

Melantha knew her personality; no one could dislike this quiet and sensible girl.

But the figure in the dream, and the various pieces of corpse on the ground, didn't seem like something Melantha would do.

"I see."

After a moment of silence, the Undead nodded slightly and resumed tearing the block of wood in his hand into strips, which he then threw into the campfire.

"Thank you."

Seeing that the Undead had no intention of speaking, Skadi got up and left.

Then, Skadi officially moved into Melantha's room.

From that time on, Skadi and the Undead actually reached a tacit understanding.

The Undead's agreement to let Skadi live with Melantha wasn't just about giving her a sparring partner. It could also be seen as Skadi being put in charge of Melantha's safety.

In exchange, Skadi can find the answers to her dreams and the opportunity for Hydra's evolution in Melantha.
