Chapter 77 Inheritance and Remuneration
Shinji slowly fell from the sky, and when the sun was exhausted, he caught the dull "Immortal Blade" just right, and the two expressions of surprise and confusion on his face that were still regretful changed back and forth.
"A different future...... Was it the hallucinations of his dying wishes, or did he really see a different picture?"
"It doesn't matter if it's right or no, humanity will come to an end one day, and so is the planet. β
The pure white princess left the high place where she had been standing and landed next to Shinji.
"The important thing is, what to do with what Zepia left behind?"
Above the "Immortal Blade", two crystalline droplets were suspended in mid-air, dripping and spinning, and the mark of Zepia's soul remained on them.
"It's ββ?"
Shinji first added a protective magic to himself, tentatively touching it with his hands. Upon contact with one of the droplets, a message flowed into his mind.
I see, it seems that he really saw it. β
"What is this?" asked Her Royal Highness.
"One inheritance, one reward. β
The blue soul light lingered in Shen Shuang, enveloping the two droplets firmly.
"The legacy is the knowledge and skills he has accumulated over the years, and the final calculation of the future, which he has left to his descendant, Aster Eltram Atracia. Since the gift is a polymer of the Reiko, and it will quickly dissipate without sustaining it, so he wants me to preserve the inheritance and give it to Miss Shion. In return, he left behind the experience of pursuing 'magic' - what a price that people can't refuse, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's nothing, let's wait until I see meβby the way, Your Highness Princess, help me find out if there is any blood left, especially if it is mixed with the blood of Lingzi. β
"Good. β
Speaking of sensitivity to blood, who can compare to the True Ancestor who has an incomparable thirst for blood?
With a wave of her hand, Her Royal Highness the Princess slashed open a floor tile, and there was a viscous mass in it, half bright red, half black.
Seeing this strange mass of blood, a trace of curiosity flashed in Shinji's eyes.
"Actually, there really is, this state - hehe, worthy of being the chosen descendant of Zepia, the slightest negligence may leave a disaster. β
As if sensing danger, the half-red, half-black blood suddenly began to melt and burrow deeper. It's a pity that it is just a ball of blood now, and it has not yet reached the height of the future, and it was easily frozen and sealed by Shinji with runes, and put it into the "magic bag" dedicated to storing this kind of substance.
"Mission accomplished, and finally aftermath. It is certainly not the people of the Mysterious World who dare to name the building 'Temple', and the battle of the Mysterious World cannot affect ordinary people - work hard to restore this place to its original state. β
The pure white princess nodded, and the pure white spread outward, and time was reversed everywhere she passed, and the ruins and broken walls were reset one after another, and the floors that had been collapsed by the "Pegasus Impact", "Fantasy Collapse" and "Brahma Treasure" were also restored as before, and the entire building was completely restored in just a few tens of seconds, as if tonight's battle had never happened.
And the princess and her bodyguard knight also returned to the roof of the building at the moment when pure white disappeared. With the passing of the "Night of Wallazia", the end of "Tatali", the dissipation of "utopian materialization", and the cessation of "soul materialization", the transformation of the city has finally come to an end, and the otherworld centered on the building has gradually subsided.
Lost the environment of high concentration of reiko, Shinji who appeared in the form of a young man and a servant also recovered his body as a teenager. Her Royal Highness the Princess has also been restored - the long flowing hair has turned back into short hair, and the gorgeous and noble long dress has been restored to a cool summer dress in line with the times.
Similar to Shinji's use of magic to reproduce his true soul posture, Erquit also manifested his own essence through utopian embodiment - that is the true posture of being a "natural touch", as a copy of "Zhu Yue", an incomparably noble and indifferent image, only in this state, can she infinitely approach "Zhu Yue", in order to summon that round of red moon after a thousand years.
Her Royal Highness the princess in this posture is much stronger than her usual in terms of presence and strength, but Shinji still likes her usually, the willful, coquettish, afraid of boredom, pestering, and jealous. It's like now, as soon as she recovers, she pouts and stares at Shinji with eyes reduced to red.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Shinji yawned.
"Mother ......"
"Don't say I'll sleep for a while, and I'll change you when it's dawn. β
"What does the red-haired woman who came out last have to do with you?"
Erquit finally spoke, and Shen Eryi had a question mark in his head.
"Clams, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"
"I think she's dangerous, tell me quickly. β
"You're right, she's dangerous. β
"She's ββ?"
"Skaha. β
"Names I've never heard ......"
Seeing the blankness on Elquite's face, Shinji covered his forehead helplessly.
"I haven't heard of reading the memory of the world. β
"Don't. Erquit refused without hesitation, "It's too troublesome, and it's out of strength." It's tiring to summon 'Zhu Yue', and you asked me to restore the building. Use your strength again, and I'm afraid I'll be able to bite you again. β
Biting is bloodsucking, and Erquit has an extreme aversion to bloodsucking, so Shinji refers to it in this way, and over time, Erquit also began to use bites instead, and this is also a change after Elquit and Shinji met.
The former Elquit was both disgusted and feared by his blood-sucking urges. But Shinji thinks that this is your racial nature, and it is a reality that cannot be escaped, so he began to guide it slowly, and now Erquit has been able to take the initiative to face this impulse that stems from nature, and even actively cooperate with Shinji to find a way to suppress it.
Hearing Elquit say this, Shinji knew that she had indeed reached her limit.
Think about it, tonight's killing of "Varazia Night" seems to be a special killing, Erquit watched with a cold attitude, but in fact it was the opposite, and the bystanders were the biggest contributors.
Without the red moon she summoned, Shinji would have blown up all the treasures and couldn't kill the phenomenal Zepia, at best, he would have protected himself and survived the "world of false words" at night.
And summoning the red moon after a thousand years is also a huge drain on Elquite, as Zepia analyzed - she really has no strength to fight, so she can only rely on Shinji.
Of course, because Elquit's appearance is too deceptive, whether it is the previous high-mindedness or the current exuberance, it gives people the illusion that she is in good shape, so Shinji will subconsciously forget about her weakness.
In the future, you should pay more attention not to be fooled by her energetic performance, our princess is unexpectedly reckless.
