Chapter 158: Dusty Memory

Early in the morning, Lucy woke up from her slumber, got out of her sleeping bag, and stretched lazily.

"Good morning, everyone," Lucy said with a smile to the crowd around her, who had already woken up.

"I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to wake up on your own, hurry up and pack your things and go," Elusa said to Lucy.

"What's wrong?" Lucy realized that everyone was packing up.

"Brother Ashu is gone...... Wendy said to Lucy.

"Huh?" Lucy was startled, "What's going on?"

"According to Mira, Ashu went out alone last night and didn't come back," Gray said.

"Where's Sister Mira?" Lucy looked around but couldn't find Mirajane, not even Natsu.

"Mira and Natsu chased after them first," Elusa said.

"How could this happen all of a sudden?" said Lucy, puzzled.

"Who knows......" Gray said.

"Alright, are you all packed?" Elusa asked aloud.

"Mine hasn't been cleaned up yet," Lucy panicked.

"Sister Lucy, I'll clean up your things for you," Wendy said as she walked over to Lucy's side and pointed to a small satchel.

"Ah, thank you, Wendy," Lucy immediately put away her sleeping bag, picked up her small satchel and ran in one direction with the others.

After running for a while, Gray realized that something was wrong, "That didn't seem like that yesterday," Gray said as he ran, looking around.

"Well, there was absolutely no obvious path yesterday, and this path should have been made by Asho," Elusa said.

"Sister Mira and Nazgo also follow this path, could it be that Brother Ashu has found the way to Lige Village?" Wendy said.

"So, if you want to follow this road, you can catch up with Ashu?" said Lucy.

"Maybe it's the way straight to Lige Village," Elusa said, nodding.

"In that case, let's hurry up," Gray said.

Then the pace of the crowd quickened a little again, and the road was still covered with trees and weeds yesterday, but now the trees and weeds around it disappeared, and a clear path appeared in everyone's eyes.

Forest of Miracles Center

The figure of a teenager appeared here, and the black flames of the boy's body kept swirling around the boy's body.

What was amazing was that the weeds stained by the black flames were burned all in an instant, as if they didn't exist in the first place.

This young man was Qin Xiu who didn't say goodbye, Qin Xiu's slow footsteps stopped, and something that looked a bit like some kind of building appeared under his feet.

And there are also some artificial structures exposed under the trees here, some trees have fallen to the ground from the middle, and some new branches have grown on the broken branches, looking at the thickness of the branches, I am afraid that it has been many years, these traces indicate that this place seems to have been crushed by some powerful force.

Qin Xiu looked around and frowned, and the black flames all over his body suddenly rushed around, quickly setting all the trees on fire, and after a while, a large open space of more than thirty meters was revealed, and at the same time, the remains of the building that had been hidden by time were also revealed.

At this moment, a black flame ignited behind Qin Xiu, and then Siqiya's figure appeared in the flames.

Qin Xiu sensed the abnormality behind him when the black flames ignited, and immediately turned around.

"Why don't you stay in the hotel?" Qin Xiu asked.

"It's boring...... "Sikia said lightly.

"I'm sorry to leave you there alone......" Qin Xiu apologized.

"I'm used to it," Siqiya said lightly.

"Are you used to it?" Qin Xiu looked at Siqiya's faint expression, his body shook slightly, and then lowered his head slightly, "Yes! I'm really sorry, after all, everything is because of my ......"

Siqiya looked at Qin Xiu's slightly gloomy expression and was stunned for a moment, walked to Qin Xiu's side in a few steps, took Qin Xiu's hand, and pulled it in her direction, "Since you have remembered, can we go back?" But Siqiya didn't pull, and Siqiya looked at Qin Xiu suspiciously.

"Where are you going back?" Qin Xiu said slowly.

"Back there?" said Squia.

"Xiaoya, I'm sorry, I just remembered what happened eleven years ago, and as for the rest, it hurts every time I think about it," Qin Xiu said slowly.

Siqiya was startled when she heard Qin Xiu's words, and let go of Qin Xiu's hand, "How is it possible, the sleeping power in the body has awakened a lot, although the events of the year have caused extremely serious damage to the body, but after so many years, it has been completely repaired" Siqiya said with some surprise.

"It was because my weak body couldn't support that strong strength that I killed the other people in the village, and the person who single-handedly destroyed the village was not someone else, but ...... I'm ......," Qin Xiu said in a low voice.

"Why is this happening......" Qin Xiu turned to look around, and then suddenly knelt down against the exposed ruins of the building.

"Xiu ......" Si Qiya was stunned, she wanted to say something, but after remembering something, she stopped her mouth and just looked at Qin Xiu.

"It's this flame, the flame of annihilation, the flame of life, why can't it burn my life, but instead take all life except me? Why is that?" Qin Xiu shouted a little unwillingly.

"That's your power, cultivation, the flame of life, the flame of annihilation, the flame of inextinguishability, the flame of eternity, that's the magic you created, the "only" magic" Siqia said.

"The only embodiment of fire, the magic I created?" Qin Xiu looked at Siqiya in surprise.

"Well, the ...... you created," Squia nodded slowly.

"Then the Divine Prayer is yours for this magic, Xiao Ya ......," Qin Xiu said as he looked at Siqiya.

"Hmm......" Sikia nodded slightly.

"I didn't remember those before, but after I inadvertently gave the power of the Flame of Life to Mira and Lucy, there were inexplicable memories that appeared in my mind, and I have been wondering about it, so you came when I was unconscious?" Qin Xiu asked.

"Well, I gave you the memory, along with the use of the God's Prayer," Sikia nodded.

"Why did you only look for me at that time?" Qin Xiu asked.

"Because I won't be able to reach you until then," Sikia said.

"It's also because of what happened here in the eleventh year......" Qin Xiu asked.

"Hmm," Squia nodded slowly.

Qin Xiu was silent, and after a long time, Qin Xiu slowly spoke, "Xiaoya, I'm sorry, although the memory you gave me can't make me recover all my memories, I can feel ......"

Qin Xiu paused for a moment and looked at Siqiya's eyes very seriously, "I can feel your loneliness, but your loneliness is also the pain I gave you, and this pain has been with you for a long, long time, right......"

Siqiya looked at Qin Xiu silently, but a tear slipped down the corner of her eye.

Qin Xiu knelt sideways, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Siqiya's eyes, "Don't cry, am I not here?"

"Didn't you say that I owe you a lot, and I will compensate you for your pain one by one," Qin Xiu said softly.

"You're welcome," said Siqia, the words repeated a day ago coming out of Siqia's mouth again, but in a very different tone from yesterday.

"I see," Qin Xiu chuckled softly.

"Xiaoya, thank you for taking the initiative to tell me these things, although it didn't remind me of more things, but I at least determined my origin" Qin Xiu looked at Siqiya and said slowly.

"I think I also have my own motivation to move forward," Qin Xiu said with a smile.

"In the past, the chairman said that I didn't have the strength to fight, but now I have," Qin Xiu said as he looked at the sky.

"I will do my best to protect everyone around me, and I will not let you be hurt at all, instead of using the power of this flame to kill my relatives," Qin Xiu said, while looking at the flame of annihilation burning in his hand.

"I can't forgive myself for the sins I committed eleven years ago, I need to pray for my actions in the church, ask for forgiveness from the villagers, and the souls of my parents are still resting ......here," Qin Xiu said as he stood up, and then walked forward again.

Siqiya also followed, and Qin Xiu walked in the direction of the church according to the Lige Village in his memory.

On a path in the Forest of Miracles that had just been cleared, Mirajane and Natsu's own Harpy were running fast.

"Ashu's smell is getting stronger," Natsu said, sniffing the air.

"Great......" Mirajan said with some delight.

"I can't believe that Ah Xiu has cleared this road in one night, I think Ah Xiu is probably tired and lying down now," said Harpy Fei in the sky.

"I was wondering why Ashu ran away alone...... Natsu said.

"Natsu, if Ah Xiu had secretly run away alone, would he have deliberately left such a road for us?" Habi glanced at Natsu.

"Well, Ah Xiu knows that we are here, and he will not leave us alone and set off, this time I am afraid there is another reason" Mirazhen said with a frown, remembering that last night Qin Xiu watched the black flame in his hand leave, I am afraid that is the reason.

At this moment, Mirajane glanced back and said, "I feel Lucy, Elusa, they are catching up."

"What? Catching up so soon?" Alusa is terrible," Natsu cried out in surprise, holding her head.

"Harpy, hurry, rush forward and see who gets first," Natsu shouted.

"Love ......" Harpy immediately responded, grabbed Natsu and rushed forward, and his speed was suddenly doubled.

"Natsu, this isn't a game......" Mirajane shouted as Natsu watched her drift away from herself.

"Really......" Mirajan was a little speechless, and immediately spread her emerald flame wings and chased after Natsu.

When Mirajane caught up with Natsu, Natsu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead after seeing Mirajane's relaxed expression, "I forgot that there is a Mira who is as terrible as Elusa......"

"Love ......," Listening to Natsu's words, a black line appeared on Harpy's forehead.

Within a mile of distance behind Mirajane and Natsu, Elusa and her party were glowing with strange light, and with the blessing of the light, they moved extremely fast.

"Sister Mira, they're speeding up," Lucy said, opening her eyes.

"Why are they so fast, we only caught up with Wendy's magic," Gray said with some depression.

"Wendy, can you speed up any further?" asked Elusa.

"No, this is already the fastest agility blessing, this magic relies on the agility of the person to improve, if the agility of the person itself is higher, the blessing will be greater," Wendy said.

"I see, I'll just say how I still have enough energy left," Elusa said with a sudden realization.

"I don't have any energy left," Lucy said depressedly, although the magic blessed her physical strength would not be used up too quickly, but if she kept running like this, her physical strength would be quickly exhausted.

"In that case, let's speed up again," Elusa shouted.

"Huh?" Lucy was stunned.

"Wendy bless Xia Lulu with agility too, let Xia Lulu fly with Wendy, and Gray and I will speed up again," Elusa said.

"Why are you running so fast, it's not to deal with an enemy like the Six Demon Generals, it's not a competition, why are you in such a hurry?" Xia Lulu said puzzled.

"I want to say that too," Gray laughed dryly.

"No, I don't have the strength to speed up," Lucy followed.

"In that case, then I'll take you for a run, life lies in motion" Elusa grabbed Lucy's hand and instantly accelerated forward, quickly disappearing in front of Grewanti and Xia Lulu, and Lucy's frightened scream "Help......" The voice gradually moved away from high to low, and startled a large group of birds.

"This magic blessing on Elusa is so terrifying," a cold sweat broke out on Gray's forehead.

"Sister Elusa is really amazing," Wendy's expression looked very adoring.

"Did this woman listen to what she said, really," Xia Lulu said depressedly.

"What do we do now?" Wendy asked, and both Greyindy and Charlulu stopped because of Elusa's trouble.

"There's no way, let's catch up, anyway, this road was left to us by Ah Xiu, and it's right to keep going," Gray said helplessly.

"Hmm" Wendy nodded, and the two of them immediately ran up again, quickly disappearing in place with the blessing of magic.
