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

To Chtholly, these words seemed familiar, as if she had heard them somewhere before.

Ah, yes, I learned this when I became a fairy soldier. They are fairies, and fairies are the incarnations of souls who died young and could not leave this world. They are not the correct existence for life, but the natural phenomenon formed by ignorant souls in illusion. Therefore, sooner or later, they will remember who they are.

"So, this is [Erosion]...?"

"Given your age, I originally thought that would happen in the future. I didn't expect statistics to be so useless. Perhaps Senioris's magic guided your symptoms earlier."

"Age...? Eh, ahhhhh!"

Chtholly was dragged away by Aisiya by the neck.

The bombardment began again. The reptilian soldiers, wearing full armor, fired the neatly arranged artillery. The shells blew the newly born [Sixth Beast] into pieces. Although it was impossible to cause fatal injuries to it, the bombardment could still cause it to temporarily stop regenerating.

"Hey, Administrator, why did you run out too~"

Aisiya laughed.

"I brought Chtholly out~"

"well done."

Xueyue nodded, plucking her fingers as if she was playing the strings of a guitar. Two sharp swords flew back from a distance, hovered beside her, and "obediently" sank into the shadows at her feet. It was obvious that the attack just now was done by them.

"Chtholly, have you ever seen yourself like this?"

Chapter 215: Unknown Beast

"Eh? My appearance?"

The noisy image just now disappeared from her mind, and Chtholly was now puzzled by Xueyue's words.

"Look in the mirror."

Pale golden ripples appeared, and Xueyue handed over a golden hand mirror.

Under normal circumstances, Chtholly might have approved of the craftsmanship of the hand mirror, but now she was paying attention to the scene reflected in the mirror.

A person with crimson eyes is in the mirror.

"How is this going?"

Chtholly's eyes were dark blue. Although she herself did not like that color very much, Xueyue once said that it looked nice, "like the color of the sea", so she had somewhat changed her mind about it. But now the person in the mirror was undoubtedly herself, but her pupils had turned into a strange crimson.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a dangerous flame.

"This should be the early symptoms of [Erosion]. It should be fine after two hours of rest. But before that, you are strictly prohibited from using magic power."

Xueyue's tone was serious.

"But, it seems like you won't listen to me, so I have to inconvenience you for a while..."

Before Chtholly could understand what "endure a grievance" meant, she saw Xueyue's hand stretched out in front of her eyes. Her hand seemed to emit purple waves like eyes. Then Chtholly's eyelids twitched uncontrollably and she fell into a deep sleep.

Aiseya stepped forward and supported Chtholly who was about to fall.

"I just made her fall asleep. You take her back. I will take over the rest of the battlefield."

Xueyue gave instructions to Aiseya and Nephren who had arrived here at some point.

"No problem, leave it to us."

Nephren kept her normal expression and gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, I will protect Chtholly!"

Aisiya saluted with her free hand.

Neither Aiseya nor Nephren had any objection to Xueyue's solo participation in the battle. After all, they had experienced Xueyue's strength firsthand.

A gust of wind blew by, and Xueyue had already jumped away from this place.

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

[The Sixth Beast in Deep Dive] The 217th time its life was shattered by Xue Yue's two moves. After suffering several rounds of artillery bombardment, it became motionless.

Victory?

Maybe it was a victory, after all, the monster was no longer moving.

The reptilian soldiers all had expressions of having survived a disaster.

But the smile of relief at being alive did not stay on his face for too long, as new movements occurred on the body of the Sixth Beast.

[Gurgle——]

A chilling voice was heard.

[The Sixth Beast] is not truly dead yet?

No, the [Sixth Beast] just now has died. Could it be that this is a new [Sixth Beast]?

Thinking of this, the reptilian soldiers all showed expressions of despair on their faces.

After several days of fighting, everyone was exhausted. Everyone told themselves that this was the last time, this was the decisive blow. They kept killing the [Sixth Beast] and finally achieved such a result.

The gunpowder cannons used by the Reptilians were almost out of gunpowder and shells, not to mention the physical strength of the Reptilians' soldiers, who were now relying solely on their willpower to hold on.

And then everyone discovered an even more despairing fact. What was born from the corpse of the [Sixth Beast] was not the [Sixth Beast], but a new [Beast] that no one knew.

For everyone, this was a doomsday-like despair.

After finally defeating the enemy, there are still unknown enemies waiting behind. Such a bleak situation is enough to greatly deplete morale.

Can’t win——

Everyone present thought so at the same time, but did not want to put it into words.

[Ms. Xueyue——]

Gray Rock Skin's voice came from the communicator on his collar.

"Yeah, I'm listening."

[A new beast has appeared, and it is an unknown species——]

"Ok, I know."

Xueyue hovered in the air, looking at the unknown beast with its fangs and claws bared.

[According to the original battle plan, it can be said that it has now completely failed, so I would like to ask you——]

The sound of the limestone skin is full of bitterness,

[Are you sure you can deal with that monster? You don't need to force yourself. If you find it difficult, we can take a backup plan -]

Xueyue certainly knew what the "bottom line measure" meant, which was to declare the battle a failure and then evacuate the island completely.

From now on, Floating Island No. 15 will become a "paradise for beasts", posing a great threat to other floating islands; in order to avoid such a situation, Floating Island No. 15 needs to be shot down.

The territory of the floating continent group is limited, and the No. 15 floating island is also a large place. Losing this floating island means that the various resources on the floating continent group will be reduced, which is equivalent to declaring that it is one step closer to the end of slow death. Therefore, this bottom-line measure is a worst-case measure similar to "cutting off one's arm".

"In my opinion, that guy is just a traitor."

Hearing Xueyue's confident tone, Gray Rock Skin squeezed out a few hints of joy:

【So how can we help you? 】

"No need, let them evacuate as soon as possible, and besides-"

Xueyue thought for a moment and continued,

"After about three minutes, remember to hold on to the wall or something to prevent yourself from falling."

「Ah? Oh──」

After being confused for a short time, Gray Rock Skin guessed that Xueyue might want to make some big move. If it was to defeat the [Beast], it was understandable that some tougher measures would be needed.

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

After the unknown [beast] fully grew, it began its attack.

Unlike the [Sixth Beast], it did not rely entirely on the horrific destruction of its limbs, but on what seemed to be its forehead, there grew a huge light blue crystal. The crystal flickered, condensing into purple lightning-like waves, and emitting a purple-red beam of light.

According to the terms of other worlds, the purple-red beam of light should be considered a laser attack. In any case, the beam of light that symbolized destruction swept along the street like a sharp paper cutter cutting through thin paper.

The reptilian soldiers had never seen such an attack before and could only flee in panic, but their movement speed was no match for the incoming light beam.

Seeing that the unavoidable light beam was approaching them in the blink of an eye, several reptilian soldiers even simply fell down and sat down on the spot, closing their eyes and waiting for death to come.

Chapter 216 Chi Xiao

The expected death did not come as expected. Xueyue rushed into the battlefield and cut the beam of light in half.

"Second-class technical officer Xueyue?!"

The reptilian soldiers present recognized the back figure, the long white hair, and the casually fluttering military uniform. Xueyue was a girl without a conscription and served as a second-class technical officer. Such a special identity still allowed many soldiers to know that such a person existed.

"Instead of standing there in a daze, it's better to get up and retreat quickly. It's very dangerous here."

Xueyue tilted her head slightly and spoke to the reptilian soldiers who were still a little dazed.

"Thank you, thank you, and please be safe too!"

The rescued reptilian soldiers nodded repeatedly, got up and fled.

"Roar ah ah ah -"

The unknown [beast] seemed particularly "angry" when it saw its attack was blocked. Although it was unclear whether it had such emotions, the deafening sound that did not sound like something a normal creature could make was indeed loud and unpleasant.

"It's so noisy, it's time for you to shut up--"

Xueyue bent her knees slightly, and the next moment she leaped out like a cannonball, heading straight towards the head of the unknown beast.

"Roar ah ah ah -"

The purple-red beam of light attacked again. From the perspective of the Beast, perhaps Xueyue was like a moth flying into a flame.

Xueyue faced the beam of light without dodging or evading. She simply unsheathed the three-foot sword in her hand, revealing the scarlet sword blade.

"As a beast that has lost its rationality, it is your honor to witness the power of this sword."

Regardless of whether the beast in front of her could understand her words, Xueyue just kept muttering,

"【Chi Xiao draws his sword】——"

The purple-red beam of light quickly disintegrated and melted in front of the red sword edge, just like thin snow encountering a branding iron.

“【Clouds Split and the Sky Falls】!”

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

A shaking spread throughout the entire Floating Island No. 15. Gray Rock Skin held onto the table to steady his body. If Xue Yue had not told him in advance that this was the aftermath of her attack, Gray Rock Skin would have thought that the floating island was going to fall prematurely.

Then, Gray Rock Skin noticed something unusual. The reptilian soldiers outside suddenly stared blankly at the sky.

(Did something happen?)

Gray Rock Skin pondered secretly, walked out of the command center, looked up at the sky, and saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

The strong shaking also woke up Chtholly who was sleeping in the temporary battlefield lounge.

"Well……"

Chtholly woke up slowly, but she didn't feel groggy at all, except -

Chtholly felt that she was no longer able to mobilize her magic power, which made her a little panicked.

But then, as her memory came back, she remembered what Xueyue said and did to her before she fell into a coma.

"【Erosion】...?"

In order to prevent me from using my magic power, I am not allowed to use it temporarily. What a domineering administrator...

After thinking about the reason clearly, Chtholly was no longer too panicked about the matter.

"So, what was that shaking just now?"

Chtholly noticed something unusual. She should be in the temporary battlefield lounge, but there was no one else around.

——No, let me correct myself. There was no one else in the tent.

Through the open tent, outside, Chtholly saw two familiar figures.

Aesiya and Nephren, at this moment, they just stood there blankly, looking up in the same direction.
