Chapter 45: Temporary Departure
On the outskirts of Akatsuki City, Xia Long stood by an old tree, watching the sword of Mebius and the new life fly into the void.
In this battle, he borrowed Aihara's body because he didn't recover, and at the same time, he wanted to awaken the sword's consciousness by relying on the bond between Aihara and Captain Serizawa, but he unexpectedly turned into a form similar to the Flame Brave.
Although it is different from the form of the Flame Warrior of Membius, it should not be much different in strength, and it can destroy the Dark Armor with just one attack.
But......
It seems that Aihara needs to succeed, and the load on Aihara during the battle is also very large.
In addition, there is the power from Gauss.
Looking at the Evolutionary Instrument that emitted a faint halo, Xia Long was a little curious.
Without that blue beam of light peeling off the armor of revenge, things would have gotten very bad, and he would never have been able to forgive himself if he had killed the sword and armor together.
Only, why use Gaussian's power? Is it because of pyroxene?
Xia Long pondered for a while, and asked helplessly, "001, what's going on?" ”
"Because of the resonance of power, the system obtains part of the data, and this time it is just converting the host's energy."
"Energy conversion?" Xia Long felt the aura of the Evolution Instrument, "Can anything be converted?" ”
"Of course, there are limitations, and there is no guarantee of success, and the most important thing is that no matter how the conversion is made, it is based on the host's own energy, and there will even be some losses." 001 said as a matter of course.
"You guy......" Xia Long was a little disappointed.
Unless it's a special case like this one, the so-called energy conversion is just a chicken rib.
Shaking his head, Xia Long turned to look at the ruins.
Bhagavaru was eliminated early. Even the dark energy clinging to the armor of vengeance has been thoroughly cleansed. Next the Earth will enter a brief period of peace.
"It's almost time to leave." Looking at the figures of Aihara in the distance. A smile appeared on Xia Long's face.
During this period of time, his strength has steadily improved a lot, except for the long-term energy problem, he has reached the level of the official guard member Otter Brothers in other aspects.
Although it is still far from Zaki, it is a big improvement after all, and compared to the difficult battle at the beginning, it can even kill some dragon monsters in seconds.
It's just that he still doesn't have a clue about the source of the dark energy. But it's not a hurry.
Stretching his body, Xia Long continued to ask 001, "How long does it take to recover?" ”
In order to save the sword, he used up almost all of his remaining energy.
"At least a month." 001 responded.
"A month?" Xia Long's arm paused, "Do you want to stay on Earth for a month?" ”
"During this period, the system will be upgraded once......"
"Upgrade?"
"Hui!"
Xia Long was about to ask again, but a shout came from behind, and he turned around to see that it was the future back on the ground.
"Future?" Xia Long put aside his doubts and looked to the future.
"It's great that you're alright, go back, Hui. Everyone is waiting for you! The future happily walked to Xia Long's side.
"No," Xia Long thought for a moment. Shaking his head and smiling, "I'll leave it to you and the sword here." ”
Future reacted and was stunned: "Huh? Hui are leaving? ”
"Well, the mission is over for the time being, and Aihara also knows my identity, so it's not appropriate to continue to stay in GUYS, so it's better to take this opportunity to leave."
Xia Long nodded and looked into the ruins, and could faintly hear Aihara's roar.
"Bastard, you said you were going to teach me how to shoot! Give me back! ”
"Are you going to give up our wings?"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xia Long pressed the future shoulder: "Future, come on!" ”
"Hui," nodded vigorously, and Mirai begged earnestly, "at least leave after saying goodbye, if you leave like this, everyone will be worried!" ”
……
Between the streets, in front of a long ravine, Mu Meimei pursed her lips tightly, holding Xia Long's liaison in her hand.
"Brother......
In a trance, Xia Long's smiling face appeared in front of her eyes.
"Let's lie, Hui really ......" Shinna stood aside uncomfortably.
The liaison fell on the edge of the tunnel, hidden in the dust, but Xia Long's figure disappeared.
"I don't know, I don't know anything just when I hear my brother shouting danger......" Mu Zhizhi said with tears in her eyes.
"Hui is not dead!" Aihara shook his head vigorously and shouted, "Absolutely not dead!" ”
He was sure that Kallio who was fighting with him was Kazu, but ......
"Kallio has improved his strength by sacrificing his activity time, and now it seems that this is how he saved the Blue Giant...... No, it's consuming your own life! Teppei's words are still in my ears.
Hammering the wall hard, Aihara said in a deep voice: "But that guy actually left without saying hello!" ”
"Who said I left without saying hello?"
A familiar voice came from the corner of the street, and Aihara turned to look in surprise to find that it was actually Xia Long and Miku.
"Hui?" Aihara, who was still very angry, suddenly calmed down, and saw Xia Long walking over here with a smile on his face, and shouted with slightly red eyes, "You guy......"
……
"Huh? Hui wants to quit GUYS? ”
At the Phoenix Nest base, Xia Long still announced that he was leaving.
"But why?" Mu Zhimei looked at Xia Long anxiously, "My brother said that he would join GUYS with me!" ”
"Ah, this ......" Feeling the reluctance of the beauty of the wood, Xia Long was slightly stunned.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mu Meimei really seems to treat him as a brother.
"Hui has his reasons," Aihara, who had been silent beside him, stood up and squeezed out a smile, "What's wrong with everyone?" You should be happy, it's not that Hui won't come back, he's just leaving for a while. ”
"Dragons?" Xia Long looked at Aihara with some surprise.
"Hey, Hui, don't want to quit GUYS like this, just give you a long vacation!" Aihara muttered, his gaze turning to the forced water soaking in coffee.
"Yes, even if Hui leaves, he will be a member of the GUYS team!" Marina glanced at Aihara with rare approval.
Seeing that the team members were all looking at him, he forced the water to put down the coffee beans, and said with a meaningful smile: "Since Bo Garu has been eliminated, Hui will rest for a while." ”
Seeing that Xia Long was a little stunned, he forced the water to come to Xia Long's ear and chuckled, "I have already written a report." ”
"Captain......" Xia Long couldn't laugh or cry, and finally nodded helplessly, "I know, I'll go back to Earth when I'm free......"
"Back to Earth?" Zheping and others were stunned.
"Ah, that," Xia Long reacted and quickly explained, "Actually, I've always wanted to go to Mars for research. ”
"So that's the case, did Hui quit GUYS because he wanted to go to Mars?" Teppei nodded, and said excitedly, "I also wanted to go to Mars to have a look, and I heard that Spice Material's material came from there!" ”
Mars? Spice Steel?
Xia Long smiled.
"So," said Shosui with a smile, "today is a day off!" ”
“GIG!”
There was a burst of cheers in the command room.
Everyone had been nervous for the past few days, but now they have relaxed, and even the slump caused by Xia Long's departure has disappeared.
"Ah, over there!"
"Haha!"
After leaving the base, a large number of people poured into the shopping street, led by Ki Meili and Marina.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was clamoring to buy gifts, Xia Long would almost have thought that these guys had forgotten about themselves.
"For you, I specially prepared it." After receiving a bunch of gifts carefully selected by everyone, Xia Long took out some handmade crystal pendants and gave them to his teammates.
"What is this?" Marina looked at the pendant curiously.
Crystal-shaped, printed with a flame pattern.
"Flame ......" Aihara was stunned, grinning a smile on his face.
"It's something that works wonders." Seeing everyone accept the gifts, Xia Long nodded and smiled.
In fact, it is he who makes the system manifest the Callio breath, which can play a protective role at a critical time and can also transmit information to himself.
"I'll come back when I'm free, everyone, don't forget your dreams!"
Carrying his travel bag, Xia Long waved goodbye to his teammates.
"Goodbye!"
After nodding deliberately to the future and Aihara, Xia Long turned around and walked into the crowd.
In the next month, he plans to travel around and meet some seniors by the way. (To be continued.) )
PS: In the previous chapters, the timeline will be adjusted, referring to the setting of the theatrical version of "Mebius and the Ultra Brothers" (although it is not logical, but Yuangu...... )。
Adjustments: How about Xia Long tracking dark energy through time and space to Earth at the beginning of the plot of Mebius more than twenty years later?
