Give the child a little shock to the world view

It's like having a split personality.

The Abyss Gentleman didn't want his Little Sadness to dissipate like the previous generation of Despair Monster, so he decided to use the magic power of the spirit vein to separate the core and despair attributes of Little Sadness.

The despair attribute after separation will be sealed deep in the spiritual vein by him, or handed over to a magician to resolve.

This is what Gentleman of the Abyss thinks.

But plans often have unexpected twists and turns.

For example, right now.

The ominous power called disaster touched the foundation of the spiritual vein.

Just before the Gentleman of the Abyss was about to endure the pain and enter the depths of the spiritual vein, the spiritual vein suddenly stopped functioning.

The world seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment. The clouds in the sky were still, the wind was frozen, and the colors around them faded.

The Abyss Gentleman's brain was blanked by the severe pain.

Such magic was a great burden to him. The normal operation of magic was forcibly stopped at a critical moment, and the damage caused by this act was even more horrific.

When the pain reached the nerves, the world finally began to work again, but the scene in front of the Gentleman of the Abyss began to become weird.

The world starts to drop frames.

Disaster surged in from the depths of the spiritual vein like cockroaches. The Gentleman of the Abyss wanted to dodge, but the injury just now made his reaction slow down a lot, and he was almost pounced on by the insect in the face.

Then he realized something and looked towards the end of the spiritual vein.

The cocoon-like giant object wrapped in countless magical currents was originally the place where the gods slept.

Now, there is an extremely huge parasite on top of it.

It was a disgusting-looking queen insect, with a tiny head and a fat tail. The tail section seemed to be crushed and disgusting mucus was constantly dripping down. Insect eggs flowed out of it and fell to the ground, where they quickly broke out of the shell and grew with the help of the magic power of the spiritual vein.

The tiny figure of the Gentleman of the Abyss was reflected in those compound eyes.

He rubbed his vocal organs and made a mocking sound.

Before the Gentleman of the Abyss could react, he saw the insects that were born on the ground stretch out the soft wings on their backs. After they became a little harder, they flapped their wings and flew away, flying densely towards the top of the spirit vein!

The overwhelming sight of flying insects was terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was that the place they were gnawing at was the connection between the spiritual vein and the real world.

The fortress, which was originally used to isolate the outflow of magic power and prevent external threats from entering, was actually very difficult to break through. The Abyss Gentleman had gone through a lot of hardships to enter the spirit vein.

But leaving through the spirit vein is much easier.

All I saw was these flying insects attacking the "sky", and the magic block covering the sky collapsed.

It was at this time that the Gentleman of the Abyss sensed a familiar breath from the gap that was pierced.

...What is that?

...

The blood moon is coming.

Mayumi Hanega instinctively took out her weapon and became alert to the approaching monsters and insects, but before the first insect pounced in front of her, the ground beneath her feet began to shake.

Rika Sugiyama immediately lifted her up with magic power, and gave Yuga Makoto layers of shields while she lunged forward. The magician on the side also stepped in the air, looking around with a serious expression, and at the same time raised the vines to bring out Tono Hitomi.

But something unexpected happened.

Raindrops of monsters and death worms fell continuously from the sky, and countless worms emerged from the ground in front of the horrified gazes of several people, forming a foul and dark wave on the ground.

And their goal is very obvious.

It was Mayumi Haga who held the fire.

These tentacles of disaster had a keen sense of smell for the scent of fire, and the moment Mayumi Hanega entered the attack range, they swarmed over, howling.

These mindless zombies, like a tide, piled up densely and formed a giant hand, grabbing towards Mayumi Hanega.

The next second after the giant hand stretched out, two magic cannons pierced through its palms, one on the left and one on the right, brushed past Mayumi Yuga and hit the swarm of insects, trying to repel them.

But the next scene made everyone change their expression.

The swarm of insects scattered as soon as they were hit, then immediately reorganized and quickly wrapped up Mayumi Hanega, wrapping her tightly.

Among them, the one with the ugliest expression was Shanshan Lihua.

Because she could feel that the layers of shields she had given Yuga Makoto under his bow step had no effect at all against these tiny, magic-less insects.

The bug fell directly on Mayumi Haga.

Mayumi Hanega felt the pain of being bitten. She was overwhelmed by the swarm of insects and pulled downwards by the huge force.

The skin on the face was bitten off bit by bit by the tiny and sharp mouthparts, and then the pain penetrated deeper, and along with the pain, disaster also spread.

Through the gap, she saw the complex expression of Rika Sugiyama, who came to rescue her nearby, which was frozen between surprise, anger and sadness.

The incident happened too suddenly, and the other party didn't have time to utter a proper cry or make any expression.

But Mayumi Haga's mood did not fluctuate at all.

She didn't open her mouth, but her lips had been bitten clean, revealing her gums, so that didn't matter.

The guardian's golden eyes suddenly lit up, emitting an unusually dazzling golden light, and this golden light not only came from the eyes, but also burst out from every corner of the body.

This is a typical self-destruction performance animation. After an unstable and dazzling light bursts out from the body, a look of pain appears on the face, and in the next second it turns into the center of the explosion, with white light everywhere.

But Mayumi Haga self-destructed too quickly, and there was no pain on her face at all. She was so calm, as if she was trying a new way to escape.

As the sky became brighter than ever, waves of light and heat came over everyone.

Chapter 144 The Feather of the World

...?

what happened?

Something happened in front of Rika Shanshan that she could not understand.

Mayumi is so big and weak, and would never do anything dangerous like her student. She is the ward that she can trust the most... How come she suddenly exploded like a firework right in front of her?

It’s not entirely true to call it fireworks. After all, Mayumi Haga’s self-explosion has never been beautiful, it’s only practical.

She could not see the beautiful fireworks of light, only the sight of flesh and bones turning into pieces and flying everywhere. There was even a golden eyeball breaking through the layers of heat waves and flying straight towards her face.

At this moment, Sugiyama Rika's eyes entered slow motion.

The eyeball hit the magic shield a few centimeters in front of her face, deforming, squeezing, and exploding...

…and then it turned into a familiar orange liquid.

Deep in the memory of Sugiyama Rika, something that should have been forgotten for a long, long time suddenly popped up.

She thought of the soft, springy, sticky thing she had pinched one day, and the bottle she had taken home...

Sugiyama Rika: …

Sugiyama Rika: ???? ??? !!!!!!

...

This is not the first time that Mayumi Haga has used self-destruction to escape.

Generally speaking, when she burned her entire body, her core would temporarily lose consciousness before her new body was complete. Because her regeneration speed was so fast, she herself rarely realized the gap in consciousness between self-destruction and resurrection.

However, this time is different.

The next second after she blew herself up, she noticed that her hand was tightly held by a stranger.

Mayumi Hanega looked down and saw a glowing little hand holding her left hand.

A child with a blurred face was looking up at her.

The two stood in front of a large stone wall. Behind them was a deep lake reflecting the full moon. Around them stretched out a forest emitting soft light, and among the grass and trees there were as many fireflies as stars.

Carved on the stone wall was a picture whose content Mayumi Haga could not understand. It was pitch black, but in a corner of the picture, there were childish handwriting that she was familiar with.

【Haga Mayumi】.

It was exactly the same handwriting as when she had just learned to write her own name.

It was carved in stone, and she could even remember the feeling of signing the contract.

At the same time, her right hand still held the stone she used to carve her name on when she signed the contract, which she picked up from the lake.

She remembered this…she remembered.

On the night she became a guardian, she fell into the lake.

When she opened her eyes again, she was standing by the lake, dripping wet. Her figure had shrunk to that of a seven or eight-year-old. She had forgotten that she had a home to return to, and for some reason she did not feel uneasy when looking at the unfamiliar environment.

At that time, the child with a blurred face was also there... yes, they were playing together.

They picked up stones from the lake and skipped them over the water, competing to see who could throw them far enough, splashing each other with water in the shallow end, and running merrily through the forest.

Because of her body, Mayumi Haga has never had so much fun playing.

After both of them were exhausted and lay on the ground to rest for a while, the child pointed to the glowing river in the distance and said, "It's time to go, Mayumi."

Mayumi Haga felt a little strange because she had never told the child her name.

This was also the first sentence the child spoke.

"My home is not over there." Mayumi Yuga sat up, a little nervous, "I have to go back to my own home."

After saying this, she suddenly remembered that her mother was waiting for her at home, so she stood up in a panic: "No, that's not right, it's so late now, my mother must be worried..."

The child grabbed her hand.

Mayumi Yuga turned to look at Him, and His tone sounded very reluctant: "There is no time, you should come with me."

"I'm not leaving." Mayumi Hanega said, shaking her head apologetically, "I have my own home to go back to. When I have time, I'll come and play with you next time."

"Do you want to go back? But your mother is leaving now. You won't be able to see her if you go back now." His tone was sad and apologetic. "She is going back to the river."

Mayumi Yuga vaguely understood something. She widened her eyes and took a step back: "Is she gone already?"

"I can let her leave later, because I like you very much." He said, "But it can only be for a short time at most... So do you want to make a contract with me?"

Mayumi Haga didn't know what it meant until He brought Mayumi Haga to the stone wall in the center of the forest.

"This is our past, present and future, Mayumi." He said, taking Mayumi Haga from the beginning to the back.

The child pointed at a giant beast that Mayumi Haga had never seen before, living in the sky, and said, "This is Erwin, your ancestor."

Then he pointed to another equally slender and majestic beast and said, "This is Vincent. He loves water."

The child can name every beast and every person that appears on the screen.

He took Mayumi Haga to see the scene of a complex of buildings in the sky, and also took Mayumi Haga to see wizards holding torches driving away many dragons. The number of humans became more and more, until the picture was suddenly stained with something like black ink spots.

The range of those pitch-black ink spots became larger and larger, sweeping across all the following scenes like a whirlpool. Mayumi Hanega saw countless creatures struggling in it, and the stone walls became more and more dilapidated.

In the end, only one person was left.

Mayumi Haga stopped unconsciously in front of the last mural, still holding His hand. The two children stood in front of the huge and strange painting until His words broke the silence.

"This is you, Mayumi. You are my last living being. I just wanted to come and see you today." The child said, feeling worried again, "But it seems that because of me, you will return to Changhe today. I like you very much and don't want you to leave early because of this change."

So He decided to make a contract with Mayumi Haga.

"Moreover, you are the last of Erwin's bloodline, so theoretically you must also sign a contract with me to become a guardian." He said, "All guardians are actually the same race that has been accompanying my children since that time."

This was the promise those children made to Him.

The guardians were all chosen from the descendants of ancient races, after all, these people had a physique that could better withstand blessings. However, due to the delicate timing, Mayumi Yuga's bloodline of ancient races had been diluted countless times, and was not much different from humans, so it was pitifully weak.

Mayumi Haga is the weakest child he has ever seen. He did not inherit Erwin's power, and his vitality is also very weak.

Mayumi Haga's fate should have developed as shown in the mural. She should have continued to live an ordinary life, and then died after a disaster broke out decades later after struggling.

However, Mayumi Haga can easily change her fate.

She did not develop as depicted in the mural. Instead, she encountered world consciousness at the age of sixteen and drowned ahead of her fate.

This is the only creature whose fate was not predicted by the stone wall.

The world consciousness realized this and decided to place some of its hopes on Mayumi Haga.

He brought Mayumi Haga here and put a stone that could be used for writing into her hand.

As long as you write your name on this stone wall, Mayumi Haga can become a guardian.
