Chapter 17: The Return (Under Revision)
When the impact of the explosion came, Gong Xiaoyun used the Dromeus Comets method to "hold Xana and quickly get out of the range of the explosion."
He originally wanted to catch up with Fallagni, but Tika's voice sounded in his ears again, "The possession time is coming to an end, please master immediately leave the battle and find a safe position!" 5ใ4ใ3โฆโฆโ
"Tsk, damn it, it's like this again!" Gong Xiaoyun's thirst for strength and zero-hour fans for a while was simply beyond limit.
After putting down Xia Na in his arms, Gong Xiaoyun's physical strength could no longer support it, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Xia Na held Gong Xiaoyun, who was about to fall, and asked worriedly.
"Arastre, what's the matter with him?" Xana was a little worried.
"This ...... Seems to be an overuse of power? It should be fine after a little rest......"
(An additional setting has been added, and using Noble Phantasms or inherent skills will greatly consume Gong Xiaoyun's stamina.) )
"Ding, congratulations to the master for completing the main quest 3 and getting the three-star item: Golden Fruit ร 1!" Gong Xiaoyun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the voice of Tika in his ears, and asked in his heart, "What is the purpose of the Golden Fruit?" Does it restore stamina like in the game? โ
"Golden Fruit: Restores all of the user's stamina."
The brief introduction made Gong Xiaoyun's heart even hotter, this was the item that could solve his current predicament, and then took out the golden fruit from the system space and ate it under Xana's strange eyes.
"Eat it, and the power will come up!!" Feeling the power gradually recovering in his body, Gong Xiaoyun said to Xia Na, "Let's go, let's go and annihilate the demon king who tried to destroy the city." โ

On the side of the large iron bridge connecting the commercial area to the residential area, there is a department store that stands tall and taller than the surrounding buildings.
To be precise, it was an old department store, and the only thing that remains open today is the food store connected to the underground mall. The ground part was forced to close due to the divestment of the head office. In the case of the recession, coupled with the inability to recruit new manufacturers, the building, which only won by its towering, became an empty city.
However, this is from a human perspective.
The high-rise buildings above the middle are all stuffed with countless toys and various props brought by Faryagni and his gang. Normally, there are "burners" floating around in the gaps and above the building, but now they are completely sealed in the dark.
Everyone gathered in the empty playground on the top floor.
Tattered round tents, rusty railroad tracks, rotten carts, rainwater-soaked refrigerators...... Among these happy ruins, there is a performance stage where the background wall has been torn down.
Standing on the top floor of this stage, you can see the vibrant commercial district, the residential area that symbolizes reunion, the Yuki Bridge with its bustling headlights, and the rolling waves of the Shinnam River under the bridge.
On the night stage, which can be said to be located at the highest point in the city of Goki, there is a group of neatly arranged objects.
It's a group of dummies.
Needless to say, they are none other than the "phosphorus" of Faryaghni. All of them have deep silhouettes and good figures, and they wear bridal dresses of various styles and colors.
The mannequins are dressed in the most gorgeous gowns, motionless in the evening breeze, and look like they are side by side, like a fashion show in a nightmare.
The night lights that illuminate them are gradually sparse and scattered as time goes by, and the breeze blows.
Only the night crept into darkness. A gust of wind blew, and the old stage creaked.
As if being towed, opposite the rows of dummies, Fallagni, who was standing on the handrail on the roof of the building in pure white, tilted his head and said, "...... Why haven't they come to ...... yet? โ
Standing at the nearest distance, the mannequin in the white bridal dress said in the voice of the doll named Marianne:
"The hosts. Could they have been killed in the previous explosion......? โ
Fallagni replied to the mannequin with a doting expression of fascination:
"Marianne, don't underestimate the other party, the other party is that Arastel Fire Mist Warrior, he must still be alive, it is more likely that he will have escaped with his tail between his legs......
"If you escape, it will be too boring, it is rare that I have prepared all kinds of treasures, and I plan to welcome them grandly, what a pity."
He opened his coat and unconsciously held the treasure in both hands. The right hand is a pistol, and the left hand is a ring.
"These two are treasures for fire mist warriors!" Fallagni stroked the silver ring on the gloved ring finger of his left hand.
He likes to touch the treasures he collects, and he is full of love for his collection, which can be said to be a common habit of collectors.
"Marian, this treasure is called Blue Sky, and it is a ring that drives fire, which can block the explosion just now and the flames of the Fire Mist Warrior...... However, the girl didn't even use a fire attack. As he spoke, he clenched the pistol in his right hand again, and the shape was very old, like the standard revolver often seen in Westerns.
"And that's the real finale. Amazingly powerful Noble Phantasms from hundreds of years ago. It's called Happiness Trigger...... It's my killer feature. โ
Fallagni triumphantly continued, "It doesn't have bullets, but the shape of this gun is just a design that is convenient for the performance of shooting action, and those who want to shoot can take this gun and fire a few shots if they want to, and it is a treasure that is specially designed to deal with the fire mist warriors, and the fire mist warriors must dedicate all the existence that should have a place in the "past, present, and future" to the demon king, and the opposite demon king will instill his own power into the whole vessel of the contract man who has become an empty shell. โ
"The contract person who obtains the power of the demon king in this way, with his own willpower and personal ability, exerts the power of the demon king in this world, and when he enters this body, the demon king will enter a dormant state, so that his existence can be completely contained by this body, but this happiness trigger can break this dormant state, and then it will be touched! The body was ruptured, and the contractor was killed...... How much fun is that!
"Then, the Demon King will be forced to appear in this world, but they do not have the power to remain in this world, so they will immediately return to the Red World if they fear that the balance between the two worlds will be disrupted...... That means I'm a big win! โ
Suddenly, the smug smile turned into a wry smile.
"However, it would be bad if you did it on the main road, because the little ghost head is the earthly fire Arastel in his body, once he casually lets his body explode in the downtown area to force him to appear, there will be a big explosion at that time, destroying most of the torches I have worked so hard to set up, so I specially designated the duel location, even if it explodes, the damage to the business district can be minimized, after all, the power of existence of the zero-hour fan to reply to me is not enough to make you a unique existence, As long as the devouring city is successful, we can be together forever, Marianne......"
"Ahh.......h
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
"It's finally coming!"
The light white coat on Fallagni's body flew wider.
"Very well, you guys should start preparing."
With a wave of his left arm, wearing a shiny ring, dozens of long swords of different styles and shapes burst out of the shadow of his coat, and plunged into the floor of the stage.
A group of mannequins in bridal gowns move eerily, each taking a sword and striking a battle pose.
Of these, Mariam was the only one who did not move, but stood still.
As if to imply that there is no need for such a thing.
Faliagani came to her side and said with a look of intoxication, "Marian, soon, I will be able to make you a unique being...... You and I can be together forever and ever. โ
Marian replied, "Master." โ
With the hand holding the "Trigger of Happiness", Fallagni put his arms around the pure white bride, Marian, and stretched out his other hand to the night scene.
Between his fingers is a hand rattle that can cause the explosion of "phosphorus".
This means that it is ready for battle.
Surrounded by the bride mannequins holding swords high on both sides, the elegant and slender figure holding the bride in the center of the stage spoke, "Next..... It's time for the hunt!! โ
"It's coming!!" On the stage, in front of Fariagni and his gang, with their backs to the glorious night scene, jumped up.
Falcon-like pupils stand side by side with scorching eyes, facing the hunter Fallagni and the flocks of dummy mannequins side by side.
The flame-like powder threw out a meteor-like tail of light, the black clothes flew in the wind, and the cold light of the big knife was overwhelming. This is the Fire Mist Warrior of Arastre, Xana!
"Xana, be careful, that pistol is called the Happiness Trigger, it is a treasure that can destroy the Fire Mist Warrior, that hand rattle controls the doll explosion is just a cover, the real purpose is to launch the Devouring City!"
"That kid......" Faryagni's face was extremely gloomy!
I didn't have time to think about why Gong Xiaoyun knew this, and as soon as I saw Fallagni pointing the gun at her, Xana flew to the side, and the bullet passed by, piercing the remnants of the fire powder. As soon as his foot hit the ground, he kicked hard, and the deadly thrust of the samurai sword went straight to the hunter.
Unexpectedly, the dummy mannequin stood in the way.
"Get out of here!!"
The attack is non-stop, and the footsteps never stop. Wielding a samurai sword, he slashed through the mannequin, and swept the blade to the side, dodging the second bullet that Faliagani fired from the shadows. Maintain a horizontal slashing position, turn your body directly to the side, and cut off the head of the mannequin behind you.
Faliagni took the opportunity to distance himself from Xana, this time shaking the hand rattle.
"Explode!"
A mannequin that came straight to Xana from the front shrank and exploded.
Xana jumps head-on to the mannequin, dodging the explosion. The blast slammed into Xana's back, pushing her forward as she thrust forward.
โ๏ผ๏ผโ
Fallagni was taken aback, then ducked behind the other mannequins and fled. The mannequin attacks Xana with a hand holding a bouquet of flowers and wielding a sword.
"Cut!!" Xana slashed the mannequin at her waist, then lowered herself to the side again. Half a second ago, Xana passed through a bullet where she was.
"So, don't ignore me, bastard apostle! My guns, my beliefs - 'Diatreohon Astir Lonchi!' The spear flew towards Fallagni impartially, like a white rainbow piercing the sun and a comet striking the moon.
Faliagni felt a mortal threat, and this shot was enough to wipe himself out,
โ...... Leave it to me, master. The pure white bride whispered to her owner with a smile on her face.
"No, Marian."
"However, if this continues, even the master's life will be in danger........ Nowadays, it is even more difficult to escape. โ
Fallagni shook his head willfully. "No! Marian! โ
"If you have anything, master, I will definitely not survive...... However, the reverse is different. โ
With a pleading face, Fallagni looked at the pure white bride's beloved doll.
"Don't! Marian!! โ
"Master, I am so happy to be able to fulfill my dream, I really want to be with you forever, master."
"Please fix me, it's a promise, master."
The next moment, a mannequin in a pure white bridal suit suddenly lunged at the attacking throwing gun.
"Kill yourself!" Gong Xiaoyun judged so!
The mannequin began to disintegrate, dissipating into wisps of existential power, but the spear thrown by the bow was entwined in a golden chain.
"Huh?!" Blocked, in the scattered light white powder, a crude doll emerged, she used foam chains to bind the tip of the spear of the Sky Star, but the spear thrown by the power of Achilles could not be resisted by a mere phosphorus, there is no doubt that she turned into flames and dissipated!
"Marianne!! โฆโฆ Woo woo, woo woo...... My Marianne ...... My, Marianne!! โ
Faryaghni, who stood still like a white ghost, couldn't stop weeping. "Of course, surely, Marianne! Use all the power I have gained to resurrect you with whatever I say...... And...... I want you to be the only one in the world! โ
Faliaghni's left hand gripped the city-devouring rattle ball, his face full of madness...... Then, the two of us can be together forever, just the two of us......"
The next moment, a sword slashed at the left hand and slashed towards the hand rattle, and with the fingers flying high into the air, the hand rattle also split in half.
"Wow!" Faliagni looked at his scattered fingers, and at the rare Noble Phantasm. "Uhhh He understood the meaning of the sight.
It is no longer possible to move the plan and move to "devour the city". Marianne could never be resurrected again. Including myself with, Marianne's, forever. Everything was shattered.
"No, there's a chance! Zero-hour fans! "It was as if a man who had fallen into the water had grasped the last straw.
His right hand gripped the Zero Hour fan tightly, quick, there is still a minute left, and the power of my existence will be restored, Marianne, I will definitely resurrect you!
The next moment, a gun poked into his hand, nailing his right hand to the ground, and the zero-hour fan he was holding tightly also slipped out and was picked up by Gong Xiaoyun!
"No ......! The last hope was dashed, and Fallagni looked at Gong Xiaoyun with tears in his eyes.
"It's over, your life! Go to Hell and repent! After saying this, Gong Xiaoyun stabbed Fallagni's head with a shot.
As he lay dying, Fallagni's handsome face contorted with rage, turning into a ghostly face that sounded like two of them, and he cursed viciously, "Human, I curse you, you will be alone forever, and die a sad death after tasting loneliness, and the Fire Mist Warriors...... You this, killing tool. The moment you fall into Hell, don't forget the wrath of my Fariagani! โ
After successfully killing Fallagni, he sat limply on the ground and was released from his possession.
He smiled at Xia Na and said, "Xia Na, we have succeeded, we have succeeded in protecting this city!" โ
Xia Na also smiled at Gong Xiaoyun, and praised in her mouth, "Good job, Gentian." โ
The collar of her black dress was neatly buttoned, and Xana, whose wounds had healed, sat in the bow clouds. Behind it stands a samurai broadsword that has been withdrawn at some point. Leaning forward slightly, his expression staring at himself was full of murderous calm. A few strands of black hair seemed to cling to her cheeks reluctantly. She said
โฆโฆ It's so beautiful......
Experiencing the warmth of this moment, Gong Xiaoyun's ears suddenly sounded Tika's voice, "Ding, the main quest has been completed, do you want to return to the main world?" If you don't return, you will automatically return after three days! โ
"Tika, what will happen to the world when I leave? Can I take people from other worlds with me? โ
"After the master leaves, this world will erase all traces of the master's existence, and it will not be able to take people from other worlds with it for the time being!"
What does it mean to "erase all traces"? In other words, will the plot get back on track? โ
"Not really, it's just that the existence of the master has been erased, everything else remains the same, for example, Xana will only remember that he destroyed the Red World Demon King with a person, but she will not remember who that person is, and she will gradually forget you as time passes."
Hearing Tika's words, Gong Xiaoyun was silent, he liked Xiana very much, and Xiana seemed to have different feelings for him, but they were people from two worlds after all. Since you can't take Shana away, let's end it all before it even starts! Xana will gradually forget about him anyway, and no one will bother, will they?
As he was leaving, he smiled and waved at Xia Na and said, "Xia Na, my real name is Gong Xiaoyun!" Don't make a mistake the next time you meet! (if there is a next time)"
Xana didn't understand the meaning of the sentence, but nodded.
"Then come back!" After Gong Xiaoyun finished speaking, he turned into a spirit son and dissipated into this world.
Xana looked at the empty rooftop, feeling as if she had lost something, but she didn't know what was missing, so she could only leave the city in a daze.
Who is that man? The important people, the people who can't be forgotten, the people who don't want to forget, who are you? โ
