Before he habitually agreed, a white light suddenly flashed in Jinghua's mind. It felt like a bomb was thrown into the bottom of a clear river, and the violent waves woke him up.
Like a kaleidoscope, the past flashed before Jinghua's eyes. He was captured by bandits, wandered through the mountains and forests, had his arm bitten off and eaten by a monster, and finally returned to human society but became a slave. Finally, he was sold to the Colosseum because a merchant was jealous of his talent. He clearly had hope of using the ability of "time rewind" to escape from the Colosseum - no, "time rewind"?
This is his strongest but also most useless skill. Although it can restore the body to its previous state within a few minutes, it will consume all the magic power. Not only that, the degree of recovery is also determined by the amount of magic power consumed. If the magic power is insufficient, it may not be fully recovered.
"Jinghua's time reversal will have an unexpected effect in real combat. Although I haven't yet figured out how to maximize its use, it will definitely be a sure-win move that could turn the tide in a critical moment."
Mitis's words came to mind, and Jinghua began to search for options to make reasonable use of "Time Rewind".
She summoned all the concentration hidden in her nerves and quietly reached into her backpack.
The skeleton raised a nonexistent eyebrow slightly.
"Oh? Still trying to resist? Hey, hey, hey, you're not undead. Wouldn't it be better to end the agony of being controlled by me sooner rather than fighting like crazy? Give up quickly, I'm exhausted."
If Jinghua hadn't been almost numb from the pain, he would have definitely shaken his head, but even if he couldn't do it, Jinghua still denied it in his heart.
How could you give up?
How much had I been given, and how much had I given back? Even if the return gift was just a laughably ordinary ribbon, I couldn't even deliver it to Ella, let alone anything else in return. If I died here, I wouldn't forgive myself, not to mention others.
She was here because of a mission from Oz, a test to become a Saint, but what had happened before? She'd been kicked out at her first audience, and after enduring such humiliation, she'd decided to give up. But Ella had persuaded her to try again, even as she'd hidden herself and cried. Not only that, she'd passed on to her the absolutely confidential text that could remove the Seal of Original Sin, even going so far as to fend off the combined forces of the Kingdom and the Theocracy. How could she give up after receiving such a favor?
She must become a saint, and then, using that as a starting point, she would take control of all the kingdoms—no, the world—and do something that would make Ella thank her in return.
I seemed to hear such a voice in my heart.
Squeezing out his strength bit by bit, Jinghua held the "Kuro's Tears" in his backpack.
Ah, yes. Just when I was about to give up, someone pulled me up and gave me a push. And it was because of that push that I have this opportunity. Giving up now would be a betrayal of others. Humanity is a complex contradiction between wanting to do something and not knowing if it will succeed, so I might as well just give up. Only when others encourage and gently push me from behind do I slowly move forward. At this point, there's no reason to give up. I can no longer shirk my responsibilities, not just for myself but for those who have helped me.
Jinghua injected a trace of magic power into the short staff given by Angelini.
『One shot』
Magic that stimulates the whole body's magic power, allowing it to be instantly transformed and released.
A blue light lit up from the staff, and the skeleton subconsciously turned its head slightly to look at the staff, and the hand holding Jinghua's skull also relaxed a little.
It's now!
As if in a last-ditch effort before death, the motionless Jinghua suddenly grabbed the skeleton's body like an octopus, and then used the remaining strength, which could even be said to be muscle-destroying, to smash the hand holding the "Kuro's Tears" in the backpack and the other twelve Kuro's Tears into the skeleton's back with all his strength before the skeleton could react.
"This is my ultimate move! 'Time Rewind'!"
boom--!
A sound more violent than any explosion before resounded throughout the capital, and the skeletons, with nowhere to escape, perished in the simultaneous explosion of several Kuro tears.
◇
However, the explosion did not end there. Immediately following Jinghua's voice, another clear and majestic voice echoed throughout the field, along with a blazing light that dyed the world white.
"'The End of All Things'."
--------------------------
*This chapter is a combination of five chapters (1 words in total). Although it can be divided into five 2000-word updates, Yomi felt that it would ruin the story experience, so it was merged together. It can be regarded as a repayment for the updates of "loliholic2", "Quincy who eats grass" and "Hecate-C".
I still owe Lisa and Naona a total of 29 chapters. While ensuring the quality, I will slowly pay it back next month at 6k a day (I started crying while laughing)...
Chapter 70 A foolproof plan
*创世纪6187年11月6日 上午05:50分 库米海姆王国
"Senior, you're late."
"Sorry, sorry."
Ella, who came to the alley near the royal city under the guidance of Mitis, scratched her head. Ruthie, Iris and Shen Gan had already arrived here twenty minutes ago, but she was a little late because she had explained some things to Jinghua.
Iris looked up at the still dark blue sky, then turned her gaze to Ella.
"Luckily it's late autumn, otherwise the sun would have already come out. By the way, how are the preparations for Kuro's tears going? Since I can't cause any damage, the main force today will have to rely on Mitis-chan and Luty-chan."
After Ella's transformation, Kro's tears can now be filled into Hyrule.
"Well, although we only had time to make about twenty, they were all rank four or higher. They should be enough to defeat the defenders, Lotte."
Ella took out the bullet-shaped Chloe's Tears from the storage and handed them to Lotte. She couldn't help but glance at Iris more. Iris raised her eyebrows when she noticed.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing. I was just wondering if Iris is really okay. That's it."
"It's fine. Better than ever. It's clearly the Seal of Original Sin, but it feels like a permanent strengthening spell. I don't know whether to call it a seal or a baptism. Well, I was careless."
It seems that when I didn't know, Camisia had explained for Iris on my behalf - I had deceived Iris. Although I felt that there was nothing to hide at this point, and it would be fine even if I told Iris, but since Camisia had already lied, it would seem unromantic for me to expose it.
As for Mitis, who knew what had happened and was secretly poking her waist, she just pretended not to feel it.
"I can't believe a magic item I made just a few days ago is going to waste like this. I'll have to find something in the castle's underground vault to make up for it."
Iris opened her hand, revealing a simple necklace inside. The ruby in the middle of the necklace had been broken. Although Iris crushed the teleportation necklace at the first moment, she still didn't have time to escape before the seal fell. As a result, she was sealed by the "Curse of Sloth" and the necklace was broken.
Shen Gan curled his lips.
"You don't need money at all."
"This is a rare space crystal. Just one the size of a fingernail costs several platinum coins. And more importantly, if you don't plunder the treasury and give Oz a return gift for your disrespect, I won't have to call Iris. If Angeline-chan wasn't still in the castle, today's mission would be to escort Lotte-chan to the castle and raze it to the ground with a single shot of Chloe's tears."
Of course, Iris's mention of one shot was just a joke. Even "Chlo's Tears", which is equivalent to a fifth-level magic, would hardly flatten a castle that focuses on defensive performance in one shot.
After the joke, Lotte, wearing her battle attire "Hail of the Spirits," took a step toward the crowd.
"Well, let's review the plan. First, we'll use the cover of daylight to cross the training grounds as quickly as possible without using magic. Miss Ella and Lady Iris, who are both less physically fit, will be in charge, and Miss Mitis will be in charge, respectively."
Even a simple "acceleration" spell would emit a cyan glow. Using conspicuous magic during an infiltration mission would undoubtedly turn people into targets. Furthermore, there were no hidden spots in the training grounds surrounding the castle.
After looking around, Luti added.
"Ms. Fukagan, who is the fastest, needs to eliminate the guards before we reach the castle. At the same time, find the room where Ms. Angelique is. If possible, it would be best to bring Ms. Angelique out directly."
It sounds very simple, but it is something that only an assassin like Fukagan can do. After Angelica's disappearance last time, the castle's guards have become so tight that even rats find it difficult to get in.
Shen Gan showed a hint of hesitation.
"There's a magic warning circle in the castle. I'm not sure I can avoid detection."
"Well, that's okay. We, following Miss Fuka, will trigger the magic circle ahead of time to attract Kumi's attention. Some of the soldiers on the second and underground floors will then flood into the first floor. Before they reunite, Miss Mitis and Her Highness Iris will be responsible for holding off the soldiers on the first and underground floors and guarding the entrance to the second floor. Miss Ella and I will head upstairs to meet Miss Fuka. We've already checked the soldiers stationed in the castle. Besides Miss Angelini, Kumi is the only one left, so there's no need to worry about accidental injuries."
"Ah, even if Lotte hadn't told me not to, I wouldn't have held back. There aren't many people in the world who would have the energy to hold back with only two people guarding the entrance."
Mitis, leaning against the wall, sighed deeply.
"After we meet up with Ms. Fukagan and Ms. Angelica, we'll rush to the first floor to support you, Your Highness Elise. Everyone should immediately retreat from the entrance. I'll use the fifth-level 'Crown's Tears' to blow up the city gate. If the enemy pursues us, Ms. Mitis and I will cover the rear."
If Mitis carries Lotte in the air, Lotte can devote herself to sniping Kumi with Hela.
"Finally, the destination is set near the East City Gate. Although the East City Gate is heavily guarded, Camisia and Miss Linglan will secretly assist. Everything will proceed as planned."
That is, Kiru finds Angelica, Jinghua successfully becomes a saint, the demon army retreats successfully, and everything enters an ideal state.
After saying this, Lotte folded her hands at her waist and bowed slightly.
"above."
"Well, it's too late to delay any longer. Let's set off immediately."
Following Iris' words, everyone nodded, put on their black hooded cloaks, and left the alley under the cover of night.
◇
A flat open space about two kilometers long.
Ella and her four companions, who had successfully hidden themselves from the inner city wall guards, arrived at the training ground.
The Kingdom of Kumheim had a tradition of showing foreign envoys how their soldiers were training, so the training grounds were built directly around the castle. Initially, Ella admired her for her confident performance, but now she found it so difficult that her scalp tingled, even though it was a dark night without even moonlight.
"Well then, Senior, I'll be going first."
"Um."
Ella, who was hiding in the low bushes, nodded to Shen Gan. Shen Gan lowered his hood slightly, and then, accompanied by the rustling sound of bushes, the whole person disappeared from sight in an instant.
For a moment, Ella even thought, "Did he really only use his physical abilities?" She was afraid that even in the "accelerated" state, she could not match Fuka. Ella immediately stretched her neck to watch Fuka leave, but Fuka had already disappeared into the night. She could only use "terrain search" to confirm that Fuka was indeed still on the training ground.
Not only Ella was surprised, even Mitis couldn't help but whisper in admiration.
"If Fukama reaches the quasi-hero realm, even Camisia might have trouble finding her. An assassin who can erase his own existence is truly terrifying... It must be hard to sleep against someone like that."
"Mitis-chan, can we start now? We have to catch up too."
"Oh, sorry."
He quickly apologized to Iris, and Mitis squatted slightly with his back to Iris, pretending to carry Iris on his back. Without hesitation, Iris hugged Mitis's neck from behind. In terms of stature, Iris was taller than Mitis, but strangely, there was no sense of incongruity in the picture.
"Ella, shall we go first?"
"Um."
At a slightly slower speed than Fukagan, Mitis, carrying Iris on her back, also began to move towards the castle. Since Iris had cast the "Floating Technique" on herself, which prevented her from emitting light, Mitis looked quite relaxed.
"Ms. Ella?"
Lotte's voice pulled Ella back. Like Mitis, Lotte crouched down slightly with her back facing her.
"Eh? I, I want one too?"
"Hasn't this already been arranged? You and Elise-sama, who are less physically fit, will be taken care of by Miss Mitis and me, respectively."
“That being said…”
For some reason, if I were to let Mitis carry me on her back, I would only feel a little embarrassed, but if it were Lotte, the resistance would be so strong that I couldn't even imagine the scene. Of course, this was not because I hated Lotte, but simply because Lotte had always been a slender and fragile woman in my eyes. If Lotte carried me on her back, not only would I feel so embarrassed that I wanted to crawl into the ground, but I would also feel guilty, "How could I let Lotte carry you, you bastard!"
Chapter 71 Infiltration
"Miss Ella is almost weightless, you know? Don't worry about me. Besides, I can even swing a hammer easily now."
The iron hammer that Loti mentioned is a large weapon that cannot be used by ordinary men and must be lifted with both hands. With the blessing of level 30, Loti's strength value is far beyond that of ordinary people.
But Ella's concern wasn't whether Lotte could carry her, but rather the question of "Is this really appropriate?" If she were injured or unable to move, she would be helpless to be carried by Lotte. But if she were completely exhausted, she would inevitably feel that if she really did, the thing called dignity would be gone forever.
"Grunt."
Ella swallowed after hesitating.
"Can't you let me go on my own?"
"I have no objection, but Elise-sama and the others have already left. If it takes too long..."
Damn it, is this really the only thing I can do?
Ella felt herself gritting her teeth and racking her brains to find other solutions, but unfortunately, the only choice now was to do it or not.
Lotte chose the answer for Ella first—and before Ella could react, she carried her on her back.
"Ugh... Eh? Lu, Luty!"
"Miss Ella is too hesitant."
puff.
The moment she realized that Lotte had forcibly carried her on her back, Ella's face turned red from her neck to her ears. Her brain turned into a mess, and she couldn't think or even form any words.
“Wait, this, ah…”
"Ahem, hold on tight, Miss Ella."
To describe it in detail, Ella was only being carried on Lotte's back, with her hands not around Lotte's neck. Therefore, if Lotte accelerated, Ella would instantly bend back 90 degrees.
"Are we leaving?"
Although the words were ringing right next to her ears, Ella felt as if the voices came from the sky. The posture of lying on Lotte's back made the faint lavender scent from Lotte's hair penetrate into her nose, as if she had inhaled some kind of drug that made people lose the ability to think. Ella felt dizzy, and apart from the strong beating of her heart, she could only feel the warmth from Lotte's not-so-broad back on her chest.
As if someone else was controlling her body, Ella's lips went against her brain's command and she answered subconsciously.
"Uh-huh……"
The moment she received the answer, Lotte sprinted away with almost no sound, and the surrounding scenery also quickly retreated.
