A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

Mistrina's sky-blue eyes stared at Sera, who still had some strength left, as if examining her with a questioning of her confidence. In response, Sera gave her own answer.

"With the help of 'Drut', reaching the starting point is not difficult. And if we put all our efforts into it, escaping using space magic is not impossible."

"In fact, if it weren't for the barrier, I would have tried to take everyone directly to Soongti."

Mistrina's wild intuition told her that what Sera and the others were about to do was extremely dangerous, but when she saw her friend's unwavering and determined look, she realized their determination but could not say anything to force them.

"I understand." The tall girl stepped forward, ignoring Lisa's weak resistance. She picked her up with one hand and carried her on her shoulder with the other. "But don't push yourself. Facing an enemy you can't defeat, retreat is also a good option."

"Misterina, put me down!"

Liza's sudden powerful shout faded away with the departure of Mistrina. The team, which hadn't rested long, regained its courage due to the change of goal.

"Arisa, Latica, can you still hold on? If not..."

"Hey, such a question is quite offensive to a forest ranger, Sera!"

"No problem. Anyway, Sera, you are capable of ensuring everyone's safety when the time comes."

After being retorted by Arisa and receiving a positive response from Latica, Sera, with a warm feeling in her heart, looked at the three elves of the four seasons and also received a positive response.

In order to find out the whereabouts of the summer elves and to explore the ancient things that have been unrecorded, they will continue to delve into the body of "Drut" to find the culprit.

"I will assist you in your progress and guide you, but that area is very dangerous and no longer belongs to my body."

The voice of the tree man rumbled, like the breath of the world itself. Within the cavity, one could feel the pulse of the earth and the roar of the atmosphere. The omnipresent and vast mana evolved into an extinction-inducing disaster, sweeping away any enemies who dared to resist.

Until the team, which had a smooth journey, reached a place beyond the reach of disaster.

Smoky miasma permeated the vast space, an unknown poison permeated the bodies of the tree people, and the ancient dark and muddy water was filled with huge roots. As time went by, the slowly rising water level had already explained the final consequences.

"Drut" will be submerged in the muddy water, and his body and mind will fall into the so-called forest abyss.

The mana used sparingly provided protection from the inside and outside, and the invisible barrier blocked the miasma. After doing this, before Sera could discuss countermeasures with others, the muddy swamp was already rumbling.

The bubbles filled with miasma burst one after another, and the popping sounds could not cover up the movement of a certain existence floating up. However, under the seemingly huge changes, a beautiful girl appeared before their eyes.

The transparent gauze skirt, summer hot pants, and healthy wheat-colored skin are obviously blessed by the sun, but the face that should be lively and enthusiastic is stained by cold evil, becoming gloomy and dark.

"Xiaoxia..."

The cry was lost in thought, and not only the Autumn Elf looked sad, but the Spring Elf and the Winter Elf also showed expressions of surprise and sadness, because in their perception, the girl in front of them was no longer the Summer Elf they were familiar with.

"You guys are really lucky. If it weren't for this guy who suddenly appeared, this place would have been my palace long ago."

The condescending tone was full of self-righteous majesty. Even though she was looking at them straight in the eye, she could still feel the arrogance of looking down from a high position. The summer elf, who was unaware of the situation, evaluated the people who came before her in such an unreasonable tone.

"Give Xiao Xia back!"

The surging spring thunder flashed with a blazing light, and the angry attack launched by the Spring Elf reached the front of the "Summer Elf" in an instant. However, this angry blow was directly shattered by the "Summer Elf" with a casual wave of his hand, and only a little bit of lightning dissipated weakly in the air.

"The Spring Spirit, Lav, right?"

The pale golden eyes stared at the young and beautiful girl. The unknown existence seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, she pointed out the name of the acquaintance in a vicious manner.

"The Autumn Elf, Mia, um, um~ and the Winter Elf, Patty, as for you..."

"They're unfamiliar faces, but there are also people who need attention."

A strange atmosphere permeated the dark land. Her undisguised strength oppressed everyone's nerves in every possible way. Silently, the vigilant Sera had already prepared the teleportation spell. With just a thought, she could safely evacuate everyone instantly.

"Oh, I remember now. It's really hard to make an impression on you."

"Arisa, the forest guard, Latika, a visitor from Natala, and Sera, the sage's disciple."

"You're such a big shot, Sera-chan! No wonder you smell so good. I just want to eat you up."

His inhuman cognition was fully revealed in his increasingly crazy words. Hearing this, Arisa, who wanted to smash this guy to pieces, drew her bow, but before she could shoot, she was stopped by the calm Sera.

"Who are you, and why did you occupy the body of the Summer Elf? If you explain yourself now, you will have a good ending when you are judged by the forest in the future."

Sera was disgusted by the unknown existence's words of wanting to eat her, and she responded with a cold tone of voice. Before this, she had never been so cruel to anyone except those beasts who treated her as an experimental subject.

"Xia Elf" showed an expression of surprise, but then she suddenly burst into laughter. The inexplicable smile immediately suppressed Sera's momentum with extraordinary mystery.

"Sorry, sorry, it's been so long since anyone has spoken to me like that, so I couldn't help but laugh."

Wiping away the tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes, wiping away the tear marks that represented a smile, the unknown existence felt the gaze of "Druut" outside the earth, and knew that if he wanted to devour people, he would need some small tricks that were not worthy of being mentioned.

"But honestly, it's probably going to be hard to eat Sera-chan properly right now, because you won't fight a losing battle."

"But I just happen to have a very interesting proposal. If you can defeat me, Sera-chan, I will remove not only the elf's curse, but also the corruption of this tree man."

With 80% or even 70% confidence, the unknown entity proposed a fair duel to Sera, and the spoils of victory once and for all were enough to make people excited.

And her proposal was...

"You are all familiar with the method of battle. It is called the Great Ceremony of Shadowverse."

Following the words of the unknown being, a completely different power suddenly appeared in the dark realm. Even the extremely evil unknown being was fairly recognized in the intervention ceremony.

The lush green leaves reappeared, and the logo representing the fairy profession was particularly clear, and at the same time, her name was also displayed.

"Vugiano", the lord of the swamp in the light and dark ages, the walking abyss of the forest.

60. Join Forces

Do you want to accept the challenge?

Even in the so-called three-minute fair competition, the deck itself must have a certain strength in the final analysis, otherwise it will be a pure punching bag. Looking at the momentum of "Vugiano", Sera has every reason to believe that her deck must have extraordinary strength.

At least……

It is stronger than the "Divine Iron Fairy" who relies solely on Yalisha's right hand.

Tsk, if I had a limited-edition "Creation Fish" deck now, I would still be hesitating here and pondering victory or defeat.

Recalling the fierce battle between her and Arisa, Sera, who felt that her chances of winning were slim, was about to refuse, but she listened to the ancient pulse again.

Regardless of light or darkness, the surging pulse contains a mysterious quality, and a vaguely familiar feeling touches the soul, which is then interrupted by the meaningful words of "Vugiano".

"I see, you are qualified."

"Then I will keep you here even if it means sacrificing all my accumulated magic power."

The ancient existence that occupied the body of the summer elf issued a statement of determination, and the more terrifying magic power brought out the true abyss of evil. In an instant, the literal alienation intensified.

Everything around became dim, even the perception of space seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. Just as her disturbed mind broke free from the abyss of evil, Sera discovered the terrifying chaos all around her.

"Vojano" and "Druut" seemed to be two sides of the world. The collision of the deep devil and the vast mana opened up an indescribable brilliance of chaos. The disaster scene that could annihilate even the sound, even the divergent light had the characteristics of destruction. After a while, the blurred vision made Sera lose her mind for a short time.

thump—

The breath of the Primordial Breeder was stimulated on the Staff of Green Bud, preventing the sneak attack of darkness from getting even a step closer. "Vugiano", who had just said that the victory would be decided by Shadow Poem, looked at the shield that was suddenly erected with displeasure, and felt a threat from it that even he was wary of.

What is this breath?

I can’t remember.

"Just now you said you wanted to fight, but now you're plotting against us this way! Are you still a Shadowverse player?"

The angry voice came from Arisa, who was protected by three four-season elves. Although her level was mediocre, she loved szb and still could not tolerate "Vogiano"'s attitude of treating szb as a tool.

Everyone……

Sweeping the gradually approaching darkness around her, Sera faintly saw turbid liquid emerging from the void. She took a deep breath and pointed her cold gaze directly at the dark abyss of the forest.

"Let everyone leave. I will fight with you."

"And the conditions for defeating you cannot change."

The prepared teleportation spell lost its effectiveness due to the deepening of alienation. Sera, who was the first to be affected, could see clearly that the shield of the Green Bud Staff could only protect herself. At any cost, "Vugiano" already had the possibility of keeping everyone behind.

"Wise choice."

The approaching darkness opened up a bright path. The malicious "Voggiano" licked his lower lip, and a confident look emanated from his pale golden pupils as he admired Sera who had made her choice.

When your enemies start praising you, it is often not genuine praise, but joy in your stupidity.

"..."

The sound of clenched fists echoed in her ears. Her green eyes looked at her friend who was alone. Arisa bit her lip and wanted to save Sera. She felt the same as the girl, but she was powerless in the face of the darkness that was brewing around her.

Why……

“Hmmm ga ga ga!!!”

The dust giant that always accompanies the girl is equally powerless. Compared with the darkness, the blue magic power, which is pitifully poor, keeps boiling in its body. No matter how angry its heart is, it is just a piece of mud that has touched the truth.

In this alienated place, once the dark, turbid water touches it, it will turn it into mud at the bottom of the water, turning it back into a worthless and emotionless wasteland.

But even so, there are things I can still do.

"Latica, Mia, Lav, Petey, and Mr. Orange, before we go, we can do one last thing for Sera!"

In a short period of time, as if he had grown up for who knows how long, the archer's eyes became firm and tears in his eyes were about to fall as he told the whole story.

We must help Sera!

"Ok?"

The power of the Grand Ritual is that it can function normally even in an alienated world, leaving room for external intervention before an extraordinary battle unfolds.

And it was at this moment that "Vugiano" saw a brief glow piercing the darkness, like the only shooting star in the night, so brilliant.

Looking back following the enemy's gaze, Sera was briefly stunned and then felt indescribable complex emotions. When the throbbing of her heart surged into her blue eyes, her fluctuating eyes expressed her feelings.

“Eunga!”

Before the ceremony was fully launched, they entered the designated area. The Mud and Dust Colossus, which seemed to have no other use than to keep up appearances, passed on everyone's blessings, and two bright lights merged into Sera's formed deck.

"Looks like I slipped you a useful card. I didn't expect you could pull off such a trick outside of the ritual area."

Although he spoke in a calm tone, he was not moved at all. "Voggiano" stared at the occupation logo displayed above Sera and blinked in confusion.

Transcendence is a profession that has never been seen before. Is this what makes her special?

"This also further demonstrates the infinite possibilities of Shadowverse, doesn't it? Someone like you might be a qualified points slave who will do anything to win, but Shadowverse is more than that."

The residual aura left on the Green Sprout Staff was withdrawn. Within the scope of the Grand Ceremony, there was no need to worry about the intervention of outside tricks. Sera, with a cold face, watched as the decks of both sides were freely washed and cut by the invisible force, and then she came to a conclusion about the relationship between the first and the last moves.

"Vojano", professional fairy, first move.

Sera, the professional transcendent, is the backhander.

"The fight is about to begin, Sera. If you lose, you must come to our side."

The amended contract was written down, and the bright words were engraved in the void, making the victory and failure agreements of both parties have the meaning of being enforced in the future.

"Oh, you didn't eat it? When did you suddenly become so kind?"

The symbols representing the health points of both sides are displayed. Not only do the 20 health points of the main combatant have their own unique digital symbols, but the circular display surrounding the numbers also has its own characteristics.

The circle, which was filled with turbid water from the Forest Abyss, was divided into 20 equal parts by flowing turbid water blocks, surrounding the number 20 formed by the dead vines inside the circle.

The whole is composed of a brilliant and bright blue, with pure numbers and holy rings painted in a dreamy color. Although it is also based on 20, Sera's logo is much better looking than "Vugiano".

"If I want to get everything from you, then I can't choose rough methods. This is easy to understand, little Sera~"

"You are disgusting, 'Vugiano.'"

Standing side by side with the Mud Colossus, Sera, with a calm expression, followed the special instructions of the ceremony and together with the enemy standing directly opposite her, gave the signal for the start of the duel.

"Duel Shadowverse."x2

61. Who gave me the incarnation of the four seasons?

The rule of drawing cards in Shadowverse is to draw three cards each first, and then draw cards in turns based on the order of who gets the first or second hand. The first player draws one card, and the second player draws two cards to make up for the difference in who gets the first or second hand.

This is……

Sera looked at the three cards floating in front of her, surprised by the flawless golden glow in them, but she immediately understood the changes in the deck.

I have truly received the prayers you sent me.

Arisa, Latika.
