It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

However, this time, Chtholly's attack still did not work.

However, Cordelia saw Xueyue's movements clearly.

He used only the relic weapon in his hand to block Senioris's sword with a clever move, and then guided it, causing both of Chtholly's attacks to lose their accuracy. He then used his flexible body to squeeze into Chtholly's inner circle and gently pushed Chtholly's abdomen with his left palm.

Of course, Xueyue did not choose a particularly strong palm strike, but simply pushed out. Just this alone was enough to cause Chtholly, whose strength was unbalanced, to be thrown out in one breath.

(What the hell is going on here!)

Even after seeing the situation clearly, Chtholly still didn't understand why her attack was easily resolved.

However, the situation this time was obviously much better than the last time. Chtholly did not hallucinate her own death again. After adjusting her posture in the air, she finally staggered to the ground without falling.

However, Cordelia also realized that even Xueyue, who did not use her full strength, was not an opponent she could defeat.

"So, what is going on here?"

Unable to figure it out, Chtholly could only ask,

"No matter how hard I observe, I can't sense any signs of you using any magic power, yet your sword is functioning perfectly. What kind of cheating is that..."

"Well, there are a lot of things to explain, so I'll just pick out the parts you can understand."

Xueyue raised the sword in her hand.

"Regarding this, you must understand that their essence is a weapon that [reversely utilizes the powerful force of the opponent's contact with the sword]. The stronger the opponent, the stronger this sword will be. Therefore, they can defeat various enemies that humans cannot defeat under normal conditions."

Chapter 201: Nigolan's Collapse

Generally speaking, a relic weapon is a device that uses the force of another person to counter their own force. However, this device also has a certain upper limit. According to the general output of this world, even a star god would find it difficult to break through this limit. Therefore, it is not surprising that the human race's [Heroes] can kill dragons and behead gods with such weapons.

"Based on the fight just now, the magic power you used to awaken [Seniorius] can also awaken the relic weapon in my hand in principle."

"This is the end of the explanation, then..."

Xueyue's aura suddenly changed, causing Chtholly to feel a creepy feeling on her back.

(The attack is coming!)

This was Chtholly's subconscious judgment. Without thinking, she began to mobilize her magic power and leaped backwards with all her strength. The result was that she fell directly to the ground.

Chtholly didn't know for a moment whether her judgment was correct or not. She had just made an evasive move before thinking. Xueyue didn't move, not even her posture changed, but the expression on her face seemed to reveal some kind of admiration.

"You are agile, your moves are crisp, your use of magic is quite good and powerful, and your intuition is also useful. Since you are not going to fight against humans, you don't have to worry about your lack of combat skills. Besides, you still have the last trump card, don't you? Then, it is understandable that you have relied on a nearly reckless method to fight until now."

Xueyue commented:

"You are strong now, and you can become even stronger in the future. In my opinion, you are qualified for the time being."

"What are you talking about? Who wants your approval..."

Chtholly blushed and spoke awkwardly.

Xueyue just laughed, threw the sword in her hand to Abigail beside her, and walked back into the house.

-------------------------------------

On the other side of the communication crystal, the huge face of the reptilian was displayed.

"The prediction remains unchanged. The waves will come to the land of the sky as predicted. We need to speed up our steps, release the hawks and dogs, and sharpen the arrows."

The reptilians have a unique roundabout way of speaking, and the common language of the continental group has a strange accent. It is difficult for people who are not used to it to immediately grasp his actual meaning.

This is the tone that Gray Rock Skin likes to use. The more normal communication he had with Xue Yue before seemed rather strange.

If translated into a meaning that ordinary people can understand, it is:

"The prediction has not changed. The attack will come at the time and place predicted in the past. We must quickly organize the battlefield and prepare our combat power."

"Ok, I know……"

Nigolan replied in a deliberately calm tone.

(Can't you somehow omit what you call the "arrow tip"?)

If she relaxed even a little, Nigolan would probably yell like this.

Therefore, Nigolan had to keep all her emotions in her heart. She created another self in her mind - another self who was aware of the current situation, who could choose the best means without hesitation, and who was like a machine and was not moved by these weak emotions. Then she let these cold words be spoken by [her].

"At eight o'clock three days from now, the harbor area of ​​this floating island will dispatch three of the five relic weapon users, and have them set off with swords."

(You are soldiers, right? You are warriors, right? You are the ones who fight on the front lines, and you know that you will die on the battlefield in order to make a living! Then why didn’t any of you die? Why are only girls like us who have to sacrifice?)

"One of them will be the spirit that applies to the relic weapon Seniororis, [Fairy Soldier Chtholly Nota Seniororis], and she will open the [Gate to the Fairyland] during the battle."

(I don’t believe you tried your best! I don’t admit it! You have to really fight! You have to try harder! Try to find a way! Fight in other ways! Save our children here!)

"The remaining two members, [Fairy Soldier Aesiya Mager Valkalis] and [Fairy Soldier Nephren Luke Insanya], are on standby as reserve forces. If the battle cannot be concluded after Senioros opens the door, they will be asked to join the battle with relic weapons at their own discretion."

(They clearly don’t even know what love is, and they don’t even know what happiness is, so why do they have to die at this moment?)

"The Arrow Tips mentioned above will be provided to the Wing Guards by the Orlando Chamber of Commerce's Fourth Warehouse."

(Why, can't we replace those girls?...)

Of course, Nigolan knew the answer to this question.

When the golden fairies grow into adults, they become extremely powerful fighters. The military leaders are well aware of the significance of sacrificing them for battle. Unlike Nigolan, they do not have personal feelings for her and should be able to understand the meaning of this more correctly.

But this is the cruel reality. If the military does not realize that they will lose this fighting capacity forever after taking this drastic measure, they will not be able to defeat the attackers (the Sixth Beast).

No one can replace them (the golden fairies). Facing the flames that can devour the entire island, the power of others is like a glass of water. What effect will it have if you pour it on? Even if Nigolan is a terrifying cannibal, this is the best she can do. She can't even protect one thing she wants to protect, and she can't even fight for one thing she wants to fight for.

Nigolan clearly understood [the facts].

But she understood, so what?

-------------------------------------

With a "click", the connection with the communication crystal was disconnected.

The emotions that Nigolan had suppressed for a long time were released at this moment.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!"

Nigolan squeezed the air out of her lungs and yelled at the top of her lungs.

"That's enough! What is this! What is this!"

She looked up at the ceiling and shouted in unbridled submission to her outburst of emotion.

Creating another self like a machine in your mind? That kind of disgusting thing should be put into a meat grinder and ground into a pulp immediately, then thrown into the trash can with disgust!

“…Why…why…”

The excitement was like a bucket of water poured into the desert, drying up in an instant.

Nigolan's roar suddenly stopped and turned into a slight and aggrieved whimper.

Big tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, dripping onto her legs and skirt, leaving some wet marks.

“Wuwuwu…wuwawawa…”

Chapter 202: Chtholly's Hesitation

Nigolan once made up her mind to be a strong woman so that the girls here could rely on her without any anxiety, so that she could become the spiritual pillar of these girls, and so that her clumsy self could play the role of a mother for these parentless children.

Nigolan should have decided on that day that no matter what happened, she must not cry. Because the ones who should be feeling uneasy and want to cry should be the girls themselves. In that case, she should be the one who wipes away their tears. Therefore, no matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it is to wipe out her heart, she should support those girls with a smile.

however--

——She was so stupid that she couldn't even do something like that.

After all, she was so sad and upset now that she couldn't stop crying or sobbing.

Nigolan, who failed to be a strong woman, cried like a baby.

No one was willing to comfort her, no one was willing to hold her tears, so she didn't know when she would stop crying.

What Nigolan didn't know was that Xueyue was leaning quietly against the wall outside the dim little house, listening to the sobbing sounds coming from inside the house.

Abigail wanted to go into the house to comfort Nigolan, but Xueyue stopped her with a look.

(Why?)

Abigail asked with her eyes.

(This is her exclusive time to vent. If we interrupt her, she will just be forced to pretend. Let her cry to her heart's content...)

Xueyue opened her mouth and the message went directly into Abigail's mind.

Holding Abigail's little hand, Xueyue glanced back at the door, then walked away with Abigail.

-------------------------------------

Chtholly Nota Senioris was running at this moment.

She rushed out of the dormitory called the warehouse, ran through the forest, and ran across the harbor area. There was no more ground ahead to run on, so she condensed magical wings behind her and flew into the sky.

Chtholly didn't understand why she did this, she just wanted to find a way to relieve her current mood.

Through the brief mock battle in the morning, at least Chtholly thought it was a mock battle rather than a "morning exercise", and she roughly understood Xueyue's meaning. But it was precisely because she understood that Chtholly could not bear it.

The normal combat power that the military can currently equip is no guarantee of victory compared to the group of [Sixth Beasts] that are about to attack. Therefore, they can only rely on sacrifice to temporarily improve their combat effectiveness. This is the current situation.

Moreover, there is a way to solve this situation, which is to improve the existing combat power.

Chtholly knew from the beginning that they had not unleashed the original power of the relic weapons. After all, those things were sophisticated spell instruments from ancient times. Even if they were not, their performance should have declined a lot. Moreover, these relic weapons did not come with something like an "instruction manual". They could only rely on trial and error to figure out how to activate them, and use substitutes (fairies) to deceive the user's authentication and try to force these weapons to move again.

In this case, if someone appears who knows the true usage of the relic weapons, and even if that person himself is a powerful fighter, the situation will of course change drastically.

If we recalculate the combat effectiveness, we can once again put the previous "victories with unknown amounts of sacrifice" and "reliable victories that are almost certain but will result in minimal sacrifices" on the scales of fate to measure.

However, this was tantamount to admitting that their previous fights were all wrong.

The fact that things lost in the past were actually wasted and unnecessary sacrifices is right in front of us; for those who have already realized the need for self-sacrifice, the things lost by following the same practices in the past are equivalent to directly judging that their realization is worthless.

"You must be joking..."

Half a year ago, the day when the super-sized [Sixth Beast] was predicted to attack was coming.

The moment when the golden fairy Chtholly Nota Senioris was told that there was no other way to repel magic except to let it get out of control.

"I was so scared..."

Chtholly didn't want to die at all. Of course, how many creatures would enthusiastically embrace death?

So when she learned that she had limited time left, she thought about a lot of things she wanted to do.

Even so, Chtholly cried for a long time and acted tough for a long time before finally making the decision to die.

"I just realized it..."

Chtholly was determined not to cry anymore. It was only half a month ago, but now the corners of her eyes were involuntarily warming up again.

(Damn it, who wants to cry!)

The more I try to be strong in my heart, the more I can’t suppress the surge of emotions.

Chtholly tried hard to hold back her tears, stopped flapping her wings, and allowed herself to begin free fall.

There is the sound of wind whistling in my ears and a thick white sea of ​​clouds can be seen in front of me.

This is just perfect, flying in the clouds, the whole body will be wet, and the evidence of tears will not be left anywhere.

Chtholly let herself disappear into the sea of ​​clouds.

The so-called sea of ​​clouds was actually thick fog containing moisture. Even though it looked like cotton, it felt nothing to the touch. Even if she jumped in, not a single splash would occur. There was nothing in the clouds, only a vast expanse of white that would only make her whole body wet.

"what……"

Chtholly suddenly realized that she had forgotten something important. It was the end of autumn, winter was approaching, and the temperature was getting colder. If you got your whole body wet, you would be very cold.

"Oops……"

When flying in the sky, physical strength is very important, which is the same for birds and fairies. The cold will quickly deprive you of body temperature and physical strength. Unfortunately, there are no floating rocks nearby to rest on.

Should I try to fly to the floating island next to me, or return the same way?

Both methods are feasible, but considering the return journey, the former is not very practical. In the final analysis, the only option is to return to the original route. However, the decision to return makes Chtholly hesitate.

"I don't want to go back..."
