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

"So, do you have something important to discuss in private?"

Gray Rock Skin could see that the other party came here not just to take Chtholly back, but also to discuss something with him.

"It's nothing, actually. It's just about the battle on Island No. 15 in a few days. I'm grateful that you told me in advance this time."

Xueyue took a sip of tea and frowned:

"Hiss... a little bitter."

"That's what she just said."

"Chtholly? I find it bitter, and a child like her would find it even more so. By the way, is this bitter tea your preference?"

"No, it's just that this tea is already a relatively high-quality type that we have obtained."

"I didn't expect the tea leaves in this world to be so bad..."

Complaints aside, Xueyue could understand that there probably weren't many places to grow tea on the floating island, let alone cultivate delicious tea.

Pale golden ripples emerged and two packages fell out.

"I'll give you some tea from my personal collection~"

Gray Rock Skin was a little surprised by this method of taking things out of thin air, but he didn't ask too many questions about it.

"Then you probably didn't come here just to say thank you."

"That's true, but judging from Chtholly's expression, it seems that you have also given her some psychological counseling?"

"It's just a humble opinion from a warrior. It's nothing. But she did muster up the courage to make a request."

"Oh?"

"After she saw the fighting methods you used, she took the initiative to propose to fight on the 15th island without opening the [Gate to the Fairyland]. Because I saw her [Awakening], I bet the fate of that floating island on the growth space of her strength."

"Is that so? Then I must train her more in the remaining time~"

Xueyue smiled and nodded.

"But I have a question. There will be a large [Sixth Beast] coming to the Floating Island No. 15. There was a warning half a year ago, right?"

"Yes."

"Then before, on Island 28, when I first met you, when the [Sixth Beast] appeared, there were no effective preventive measures. Even Chtholly didn't bring any weapons. I can only assume that she was not a combatant at the time, but this is also very abnormal. There were no other golden fairies..."

"So, can I assume that the Sixth Beast on Island 28 was an unexpected attack, or was it simply a premeditated attack by a certain organization?"

Xueyue tapped the tabletop with her fingers, and her tone gradually turned questioning.

"First-class military officer Gray Rock Skin, could you please give us your opinion on this matter?"

Chapter 205 It doesn’t matter, I will take action

"Ms. Xueyue, I guarantee as a soldier that, at least according to the intelligence I know, the Sixth Beast on Island 28 appeared without any warning, so we were unable to formulate a battle plan in advance."

Limestone replied in a serious voice,

"As for the premeditated attack by some organization, I think the possibility is very small. The beasts are a huge threat to any race on the floating island. It is unlikely that an organization on the floating island would deliberately use the beasts as a method of attack. In addition, there are no valuable targets on Island 28."

"Um……"

Xueyue nodded.

In fact, from the beginning Xueyue did not think that this was an attack planned by any organization. As Huiyanpi said, using [beasts] as weapons of attack is tantamount to seeking death. What's more, there is no [valuable] target on Island No. 28, and if the target is placed on Chtholly, it is even more nonsense; so Xueyue's inquiry was just to trick Huiyanpi and check his attitude.

"From the appearance of the Sixth Beast in the past ten years, I can see that the frequency is slowly increasing. So, combined with the incident on Island 28, I suspect that the Beasts on the ground have undergone some changes. They may have become more targeted, or in other words, they have been manipulated to become more targeted."

Xueyue of course had another guess, that is, there was no problem with the floating island, but there was a problem on the ground. In short, the [Sixth Beast] that raided the Floating Island No. 28 was controlled by someone and came towards Xueyue.

Of course, the probability of this happening is shockingly low, and can even be said to be a bit paranoid. If we assume that there really is such a creature, then there is an answer to the unpredictable raid.

"But these are just a reminder. I need to join the battle,"

However, Xueyue was not the kind of person who would be overly cautious. She was just giving a reminder, and what she really wanted was:

"In the battle on Island No. 15, if Chtholly is unable to repel the Sixth Beast using conventional means, or if a new situation arises..."

"I'll take action."

Hearing Xueyue's confident words, Gray Rock Skin felt for no reason that those four words were enough to reassure him.

"Then I will put you into additional combat order."

"Just tell your superiors whatever you want~"

Xueyue raised her military uniform, turned around and left the operations room.

"Chtholly, we should go~"

"Eh?"

"What's wrong? Are you still upset?"

"No!"

Chtholly stamped her feet slightly and followed.

"By the way, what did you talk about with the first-class military officer?"

"Nothing, just some daily topics~"

Chtholly had an expression of disbelief, as if saying, "You guys don't even know each other, and you lied to me that you were just chatting about family matters."

"alright,"

Xueyue smiled and rubbed Chtholly's sky-blue hair, causing Chtholly to puff up her cheeks.

"As the battle approaches, I won't talk to you about profound things like enlightenment and dreams. Think about what you still have to protect, and think about the people waiting for you at home after the battle. There's no need to be confused about these things, right?"

"……Um."

Chtholly lowered her head and responded softly.

Then she realized that her body was suddenly floating in the air.

She was corrected and was instead carried by Xueyue in a princess hug.

Chtholly's face immediately turned red when she noticed this:

"What...what happened?"

"Get ready to fly back~"

"Wait, put me down, I can fly by myself, this is too embarrassing!"

Xueyue seemed to have not heard what Chtholly said at all. She just smiled and jumped down while holding Chtholly in her arms:

"Take off! Go home!"

"Hello--!"

Chtholly's cries gradually faded into the sea of ​​clouds.

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

A new day begins and the sun rises again in the sky.

Chtholly woke up at about the same time, but she was not in a hurry to get up. She just stared at the ceiling quietly.

"..."

Yesterday's experience resurfaced in her mind, proving that it was not a dream.

Knock-knock-

The sound of knocking on the door pulled Chtholly out of her memories.

"Hey - are you up yet? Are you still sleeping in?"

It was the familiar voice of the administrator.

"No... No, I'm up! Wait a minute, I'll open the door right away--!"

Chtholly jumped out of bed in a hurry and put on a cardigan over her pajamas. She glanced at the mirror and was shocked by her messy hair from sleeping. She hastily tidied it up with her hands. At least she looked presentable overall.

All these processes were completed in just a few seconds, and then Chtholly opened the door a crack and looked outside.

In the corridor, Xueyue, dressed in her usual attire, was smiling and greeting her:

"Hi~Good morning~"

"Morning... Good morning. What's the matter with you coming to see me so early?"

"Hey, have you forgotten what I just said yesterday..."

"What did you say?"

Chtholly was still a little confused.

"I told you yesterday that the battle is approaching and you need to continue to get stronger. Even if you don't want to, I will force you to do it. Have you forgotten?"

Xueyue put on a somewhat helpless expression.

"Eh……"

After Xueyue's reminder, Cordelia remembered that it seemed that such a thing did exist.

Xueyue glanced up and down at Chtholly's current attire:

"So, pack up quickly, change into some comfortable sports clothes, and gather at the open space behind the warehouse. Although this isn't something that needs to be kept secret, you don't want to make it too conspicuous."

After saying this, Xueyue left.

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

Behind the warehouse, there is a small open space surrounded by woods, which is a perfect place for "cooking private meals".

"Catch it!"

Xueyue swung her left hand, and an object flew towards Chtholly who had just arrived here.

"Eh?!"

Although the object was coming at a very fast speed, Chtholly was also a warrior, so it was not difficult for her to intercept an object of this speed.

When they picked up the object and took a look, they found it was a wooden sword that was carved to a decent standard. Xueyue was also holding a wooden sword of the same specifications in her right hand.

"Do you need to warm up? If not, just come at me~"

Xueyue's voice came from not far away.

"No, I don't need that~"

Without saying too much, Cordelia raised her wooden sword, prepared to attack, and rushed towards Xueyue.

Chapter 206: Special Training for Chtholly

Crack-crack-crack

The sound of wood hitting each other echoed throughout the open space behind the warehouse.

For the audience, this rhythmic percussion sound may be a good white noise, but for the "performer" himself, it is not so relaxing and comfortable, and he needs to be prepared to fight hard.

(Right, lower right, diagonally up left, straight up, slightly around the bend and then down, wrong, right again.)

Chtholly memorized the opponent's attack in her mind, but this method was obviously not that simple.

Xueyue's wooden sword will attack her from all directions. She will use the wooden sword in her hand to sweep it away, deflect it, push it away or dodge it herself.

It's easy to say, but it's not true. Just when I dealt with the previous sword, the next one came.

Your posture cannot be broken, you cannot swing your arms violently, your movements cannot stop or be disrupted, otherwise you will be hit hard.

Thinking in this way, it is difficult to grasp the timing of breathing, the balance of relaxation, and the distribution of concentration. In short, under this kind of attack, it is difficult to control one's body in all aspects.

Under this violent attack, one cannot think about things that need to be thought about. One can only get the body moving before thinking, that is, to respond entirely with a kind of "combat instinct".

However, Xueyue's attack speed seemed to have not reached the upper limit, and the frequency of attacks was gradually increasing. If she hadn't known that Xueyue didn't use any magic power at all, Chtholly would have suspected that she had secretly used some magic. However, the truth was cruel. Chtholly was suppressed by the skills displayed by the body alone to the point where she had no energy to think.

Crackling, crackling, crackling, another storm of attack.

"what……"

Chtholly suddenly realized that her legs had no strength. She felt as if she was floating, her vision began to shake, and she was unable to move. Then she saw the approaching wooden stick, and the world in front of her began to tilt.
