46 - Starry Soul
There was an occasional crackling sound from the campfire, and Weir and Ollie sat silently beside them.
I don't know how long the night lasted, but there was not much food left in the Veir package.
They were trapped in this place, and Wiel could now even count how many stone bricks there were between the church door and the statue, and how many gaps there were in the stone bricks.
Ver scoured all the corners in the dark, but there was nothing but cold stone and the worn fabric he had collected in his backpack.
"Ollie." "Huh?" "Nothing...... Thank you. "Huh~?"
He filled some vines and weeds with his hands, and the flames of the campfire burned a little more vigorously.
After experiencing suicidal thoughts, Wille thought about it instead. I came into this world, in fact, I have been running away, I have been trying to escape from here. He has always thought of himself as a man in distress. thought that as long as he found a way, he would be able to return to the original world, but now he recognized a fact.
Wanting to go back is far longer and more difficult than you think.
Ollie's anxiety and crying moved Wille a little, he still had some connection to this damn ghost place after all, Winnie, Ollie, after all, he still had a bond with this strange world.
At the same time as the suicide attempt, Weier also reminded Weier that he was struggling to survive and recover, he should not let his previous efforts be wasted, he should not give up his life halfway, since he was destined not to die in this place, he should try his best to find a way out and find a way back.
Even for the sake of waiting for his relatives in another world, even for Winnie, who is sleeping in the sacred tree of the valley waiting for him to rescue the star spirit, even for the sake of the little life in front of him who is trapped here as himself, he should try to live.
Weir's eyes steadied.
After washing his face, during this time, Veel tried to control the sudden increase in the magic power in his body, and now he was able to control it skillfully.
With a long breath, Wille perked up and began to explore again.
Nothing has changed in the church, but the stairs that originally descended on either side of the fresco are gone, but only two small doors, which open to reveal the dense forest.
Walking horizontally in the middle of the dense forest, there is never an end to it. Walking deeper into the forest, you will return to the statue at the main entrance.
Even if he ate mushrooms again, Veel did not notice any other changes, but instead made himself suffer from splitting headaches and nausea.
However, in the process of exploration, Weier did not make all new discoveries, he noticed that the wounds on his body would heal faster every time he ate, and by now, Weiel's ribs were even a little bruised and painful.
Looking at the statue that appeared in front of him again, Weir shook his head and sighed, "I still haven't been able to find my way out this time." ”
Sitting next to Ollie, he and Ollie looked at the statue in the courtyard.
"Who could she be, you say?" Wiel stirs up the conversation. "Huh?"
"This is obviously a temple-like place, and Winnie seemed to have told me in the valley that there is a temple for the Star Spirits." Raising his right hand, which had healed, he looked at the rune on the back of his hand, "The statue in front of the temple, could it be that this woman is a priest or something?" Ah, what a beautiful woman. "Whew......"
Weel had said these things many times, and he just wanted to speak a little in this silence.
Ao touched the rune in Wiel's right hand with his hand and whispered a few more times.
"Want to talk to me? But I don't have any mushrooms now. Vere smiled, his expression suddenly changing.
"Wait a minute, Winnie seems to have told me what kind of prophecy is this...... Guidance of the Holy Tree, Guidance of the Holy Tree! Suddenly Wer remembered this, and the memories of his time in the valley came back to Will's mind.
……
"What is this?" "Guidance from the Sacred Tree." "Huh?" "Wherever you are, it will guide you all the way back."
……
Originally, I used it when I was out of the valley, thinking that this thing was a solidified wayfinding or something, but I found that I couldn't show myself the way to the mountain, so I forgot about it after making a wooden sign.
It was only now that Wille was nervous and excited to think that he was in a magical world, so wasn't the predicament he was in now exactly 'where he was'?!
His heart beat faster, and Wille closed his eyes, concentrating the perceived magic on his right hand. The runes on the back of his hand emitted a faint glow.
"Please show me the way out...... "Will open his eyes and find two faint paths of light, one leading to Ollie beside him.
The other, the statue in the middle of the courtyard, leads to the one in front of you.
"Statue! I should have thought of it a long time ago! "Actually, if you think about it, the surrounding scenery has changed before, but there is only one thing that has not been affected in the slightest, and that is the statues in the courtyard.
In a weird environment, the weirdest thing is not the things that change, but the things that seem perfectly normal.
Approaching the statue, Wiel's heart beating rapidly. "What should I do?" Wiel touched the cold statue with his hand. "Do you want me to break it?"
Looking at the spear in his hand, Weir said to do it, and with a bang, the spear smashed on the stone statue. But there was not the slightest crack, but the spear in his hand was much lighter.
"No, no, my idea is not right, it should be a little more magical, a little more magical." Weir swallowed, "Yes, with magic! ”
Placing his right hand on the statue's body, Vere tried to concentrate his magic in the palm of his hand.
The statue in front of it finally changed, and on its chest, a burst of black smoke came out of the stone sculpture like confetti, and slowly a large hole in the statue's chest appeared with a strange shape.
Veil continues to infuse with magic, and the statue no longer changes. Both Ollie and Ver stared at the hole carefully.
"What should be in here......" "Wow~Wow! Oh! Oh! Suddenly, Ollie seemed to think of something, and kept tugging at Veel's backpack.
"In my backpack? …… The stone in the spider's belly?! "Vere took out the stone, put it in the hole and measured it, and found that it fit perfectly enough to fit in." Ollie! Yours is the real thing. Haha", Wille was happy.
Then, eager to get out, Wille carefully placed the stone with a hole in it into the hole in the statue's chest.
After taking two steps back, the statue in front of him suddenly emitted a violent light.
The stone chips of the statue fell off layer by layer, and the light on the chest was hot and violent, as if it could melt the cold stones around it, and the statue shook and fell under the stones, revealing white and smooth skin, and a woman like the statue walked out of the light emitted by the stone statue.
"Hahahaha!" Wiel heard a shrill laugh, "Star! I'm finally back, and you think you can seal me with your body?! You've failed! Demons will rise from the abyss! No one will stop us anymore. Hahaha! ”
But there was a sudden click in her chest, and the shrill laughter stopped abruptly, "No! This heart is broken! No! The woman looked up sharply and stared at Wiel and Ollie, "You! No! No way! It shouldn't be like this, you're bad for me! ”
"Who are you? Can...... Yes? Wei Er looked at the woman in front of her in surprise, she was just a few words away, white light appeared in her facial features, and her body movements became mechanical and stiff.
Suddenly, the light shrank violently into her chest, and countless cracks spread out from her chest, and then covered her body, and exploded with a pop, turning into a cloud of star mist.
Before exploding, Vere heard her last words, which were heavy, hoarse, and muffled. "I remember what you look like, I will be waiting for you in the deepest part of the abyss!"
The dazzling light shone out violently, and Weir blocked his eyes, and when he came to his senses, there was only a cloud of star mist left in front of him, and Weir and Ollie were stupid, standing there, at a loss.
"Ollie." "Huh?" "What just happened?" “…… Oh? ~......" "I seem to hear it, demon? Why did she explode all of a sudden? What else remember me? Abyss? "Woo, woo......"
Will and Ollie stared wide-eyed, stunned by what had just happened, not knowing how to react, and the woman staring at them at the end was so fierce.
Ding! The bird's headdress, which had been in the woman's hair, fell to the ground, and Will hesitated two steps forward to pick it up. The green and gold bird pendant comes to life, with two tiny dangling bells.
"What is this? Ollie... The tone of that person just now, well, should be a villain or something, right? ”
"Whew--whew!" [The headdress is so pretty.] Ollie nodded heavily, and although Vere couldn't understand what Ollie was saying, the two of them had already become a god.
"Do you agree? Looks like I'm guessing it's the same thing...... What's going on?! ”
But soon, their communication was interrupted by an earthquake-like tremor coming from beneath their feet. "Oh I'm rough, there was an earthquake?!"
There was a huge tremor on the ground, and Ver and Ollie couldn't stand on their feet, and in desperation, Ver was able to hold Ollie to his chest, and suddenly his feet were empty. Ver found himself rapidly descending, and it was pitch black all around, and he didn't know how deep.
Above the line of sight, the entire courtyard where Ver had been turned for a long time and could not be walked out emitted a pure white light.
In the darkness around them, all the buildings were shattered in the vibration, and then everything suddenly burst open, turning into countless clusters of light, like white fireworks suddenly blooming in the darkness, and the light clusters filled every corner of Will's eyes.
Veel felt like he was flying in the air and couldn't help but look down. "Oh my god!" He felt right, he was flying in the air now, the island below standing alone on the sea, the surrounding sea was filled with mist, and he was floating at a very high altitude directly above the island.
The sound of the wind in the sky sounded in his ears, and he looked at the sky again.
In an instant, it felt as if time had stood still.
He was completely attracted by the sight of those clusters of light in front of him, the white light in the sky was dotted in the back of the night, like the Milky Way in the universe, like the stars gathered in front of his eyes, constantly flashing dazzling light.
This beautiful scene suddenly shrank into a singularity, and then a huge white circle of light spread out in all directions, and Weir was also violently hit by the white light, and his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground.
The light spread beyond the forest, over the sand, over the ocean, and farther away, and the fog was washed away by the white light, until at the end of the view, there were many islands on the surface of the sea, each of a different size and shape.
With the impact of light, many pairs of eyes quietly opened in the darkness of each island.
The white light spread quickly, and then, the star soul in the sky, like silver dust, slowly sprinkled down to the ground.
One of them, like a flock of magnificent white birds, slid towards the sacred tree in the valley.
