Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Chapter 1069 Skadi: We can't beat them! Isamara: That's not true!

Snowflakes drifted from my feet into the sky.

Skadi dragged her greatsword in one hand and grabbed Typhon's shoe with the other, fleeing frantically.

The sounds of crossbow bolts piercing the air, the roar of Originium explosives, and the sorcery of ancient Sami songs intertwined into a jumble of discordant noises.

Skadi was now somewhat relieved that the demonic corruption in this place was severe enough to drive everyone mad, making them see everything in front of them as enemies and fall into a chaotic melee with no rules, so that they wouldn't be specifically targeted at her.

She dragged the unconscious Typhon into a wooden house and shook her dizzy head vigorously.

The helmet had already been shattered in the melee, but fortunately, it protected Skadi from injury.

"Typhon... hiss!"

Skadi turned around to check on Typhon's condition, only to find that Typhon had been dragged face down all the way.

She quickly pounced on him and turned Typhon over.

But as Typhon's face turned around, Skadi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She didn't see that familiar, lovely face, nor did she see the gruesome sight of the mangled body covered in bloody scratches, but she felt it was better to see those things.

Typhon's face had long since vanished, leaving only a deep black hole. At the center of this black hole, a spherical object enveloped in a faint halo flickered...

Skadi suddenly woke up from her nightmare.

The greatsword overturned and crashed to the ground with a dull thud, and Skadi clutched her forehead in pain.

"Damn it, why did I fall asleep? How long have I been asleep?"

She leaned against a wall, frowning as she surveyed her surroundings, memories flooding back like a tide.

Typhon's senses were blocked by the demon, and he headed towards the already fallen northern front. In order to save Typhon, she also rushed into the collapsing block, but faced with Typhon's non-linear movement, she could only watch helplessly as he got further and further away.

"Typhon, I must find you."

Skadi picked up the greatsword and struggled to stand up again.

She could no longer remember how long she had spent in this chaotic battlefield, or rather, in the collapsing area, time was a meaningless concept.

She fought against Ursus's army, against the Sami's Tree Scar tribe warriors, and even against plants and structures that suddenly came to life.

Skadi vaguely realized that after losing that helmet, she too was inevitably sliding into a collapsing abyss.

Should I leave?

Skadi muttered to herself, "In this situation, it's almost impossible for me to rescue Typhon on my own. I'll probably have to seek help, but can Typhon hold on?"

Faced with this powerless reality, Skadi was so conflicted that her head was about to explode.

She had never missed the Doctor and her captain as much as she did now. When they were around, she never had to worry about making choices in combat operations. She just had to follow orders and charge in to hack and slash.

Aside from repairing circuits and singing, Skadi considers herself best at randomly hacking at her target.

"No, you can't keep thinking like this, Skadi. Are you being influenced too?"

Skadi slapped her cold face hard, and her eyes hardened again.

She had had enough of losing her companions; she could not abandon Typhon!

Skadi scanned her surroundings, trying to gather information.

She was in an unfamiliar wooden house, a corner of which had been sheared off by some force, and the wind, snow, and the endless sounds of battle outside poured in.

This place is still on the edge of the battlefield, while Typhon has already ventured deeper into the battlefield.

Skadi took a deep breath.

With a hunter's intuition, she could sense a powerful aura emanating from the center of the battlefield, no less formidable than her captain, Ulpian, an existence she could not possibly defeat head-on.

Skadi began searching inside the cabin, trying to find a helpful item similar to the helmet she had seen before.

Unfortunately, she found nothing, but when she opened a cabinet, she was surprised to see a mirror.

She subconsciously recognized her face, fearing that what she saw in the mirror was not her own face, but a hollowed-out reflection.

"wrong……"

Skadi stopped in her tracks as she turned to run away. The next second, she turned around abruptly and slammed her forehead hard against the mirror.

The mirror shattered, but Skadi was unharmed.

"Don't try to make me afraid of you!"

Skadi looked at herself, torn into many pieces, in the shards of the mirror without flinching.

In the mirror, her face was deathly pale, her breathing was rapid, and her once smooth white hair was now disheveled, but it was still her.

An explosion rang out through the gap in the wooden house.

Skadi's gaze sharpened as she looked away from the mirror, realizing that a battle between collapsing entities was advancing in their direction.

Skadi tightened her grip on the greatsword slightly as she assessed her physical condition.

But the result left her feeling heavy-hearted.

His physical strength had not yet recovered, his heart rate was obviously abnormal, and the greatsword that he usually wielded with ease seemed unusually heavy.

The sounds of battle were still drawing closer.

Skadi knew she couldn't hesitate any longer.

"Do you need any help, Skadi?"

A voice resounded in her heart.

Skadi froze, her muscles tense.

She remembered Typhon's warning: on the collapsing site, one must never respond to such unfamiliar sounds.

Who is your enemy?

The voice in my heart echoed endlessly to itself.

"Where is your way out?"

The voice in her heart gradually began to feel familiar to Skadi.

"And what is the answer?"

"...Who exactly are you...?"

Skadi asked the question without thinking, but then stopped abruptly.

"I am with you."

Skadi's voice murmured softly in Skadi's heart.

A surge of heat erupted from Skadi's heart.

Skadi heard her heartbeat so frantic for the first time. She could even feel the blood rushing wildly through her body. Her breathing became increasingly rapid, and an impulse was taking control of her limbs.

"We should go back; this land doesn't hold the answers we need."

The voice in her heart was incredibly gentle, giving Skadi a comfortable feeling of being embraced.

She wanted to close her eyes, abandon everything, and savor this tenderness.

The sound of the wall breaking brought Skadi's nearly out-of-control mind back to reality.

A corpse of an Ursus soldier, dripping with black blood, lay supine at Skadi's feet. On his now-empty face, black orbs resembling eyes flickered, as if watching Skadi.

Skadi looked past the corpse and through the hole in the wall to see outside.

A group of twisted Sami and Ursus attacked everything in their path with frenzied fury.

"A meaningless battle."

The voice in my heart commented.

Skadi noticed a crossbow bolt hurtling through the air and immediately swung her greatsword in a sweeping motion.

The sound of the sword cutting through the air was different from usual.

The feel is also quite different.

The results were completely different.

A power that Skadi could not comprehend at all erupted from within her body, and the air in front of her seemed to tremble in fear, shrieking and turning into a storm as it retreated.

The corpses at his feet were shredded, the walls and wooden houses turned to ashes, and the snow outside rolled back, tearing apart the tangled, collapsed mass.

Skadi's pupils contracted to a single point.

She watched helplessly as the sword energy she unleashed destroyed all obstacles in her path, forcefully parting the perpetual snow and ice on the icy plain, leaving a scar hundreds of meters long on the land.

The heat wave hit my arms.

Skadi looked down and was astonished to find that her greatsword was glowing red-hot from the intense friction with the air.

Chapter 1070 Ancient Method of Humiliating Di

As Skadi stared blankly at her greatsword, a beautiful melody suddenly began to play in her mind.

The song was deep and lingering, like an echo from the deep sea.

"We don't need boundaries."

Those who threaten us must be expelled.

Skadi: "..."

She realized that the voice that had been harassing her was not a demon from the icy plains.

But she suddenly felt that the other party was even less desirable than a demon.

“You are the god of Haisi!” Skadi said through gritted teeth.

“I am you,” Isamara whispered in response.

"Shut up!" Skadi snapped angrily.

“Our suffering endures, our longing for life endures.” Isamara’s voice was as beautiful as a song, yet terrifyingly hollow. “We will return to the multitude and bring back answers for our kin.”

This land holds no answers we seek. The slaughter among living beings is endless, and desires called hatred and greed breed without end, hindering evolution. The horde should not remain here.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

What you see is what I see; what I think is what you think.

Skadi inexplicably recalled the grudge between Ursus and Sami.

Ursus's savagery and tyranny, Sami's stubborn prejudice...

"No, why am I wasting my breath talking to you!" Skadi shook her head violently. "Something must be wrong with me. I have to hurry up and rescue Typhon, then take her back to Rhodes Island to find someone to help."

"Kal'tsit... Doctor... no, I'll go directly to Qi Yan and kill you completely!"

Isamara: "..."

Is this girl a little naive?

Even if they really wanted someone to kill them, there was no need to say it so bluntly when they needed their help.

However, He was not worried.

He knew that Skadi was powerless to resist, and that the girl would eventually return to the embrace of her blood relatives with him.

Now He only needs to silently watch as this girl, propelled by His power, travels northward to that land where no life can venture.

Large groups require more information and evolution.

Seeing Isamara finally fall silent, Skadi took a deep breath and looked into the deepest part of this chaotic battlefield.

In any case, she now finally has the ability to rescue Typhon!

Skadi took a step forward, raised her greatsword, and slashed it down forcefully.

Skadi felt an unprecedented surge of power coursing through her arms.

The wind and snow reversed, and a single sword cleaved the heavens!

The long-awaited sunshine finally shone down.
