"Deria, come here."

Natsu called the werewolf princess to her side, then stretched out her arms and hugged her.

"Natsu?"

Delia was a little strange, I don't know why she suddenly hugged herself at this time.

"My request is simple...... This Goss werewolf is a very close friend of mine, and I hope that she will receive a true Godhead inheritance. ”

Xia deliberately appeared to have an ambiguous relationship with the werewolf princess, gently stroked her chin with one hand, looked at the giantess and said:

"We were attacked by the Hundred-Eyed Giant when we were in the Underworld, and it tried to eat us...... That's why I had to kill it with a sword. ”

The giantess waited quietly for her to finish without interrupting her.

However, when she heard the words "kill it with a sword", a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Although the Hundred-Eyed Giants are not the most powerful and physically powerful of the ancient giant branches, they do have some very special abilities.

One of the most representative is the "Hyakmu Alert", which can be turned on so that there are no dead spots on the whole body, and it is easy to deal with attacks from any angle.

The human strength on the other side was obviously suppressed, but even at its peak, it was impossible to kill the well-prepared Hundred-Eyed Giant with a single sword.

"Her eyes were clear, she didn't even show the slightest sign of jealousy, and she really didn't remember anything about me."

Xia noticed that the giantess did not react to what she had just done, and she felt a pang of disappointment in her heart, completely discarding the remaining trace of luck.

"It's a very arrogant request."

The giantess replied:

"But like I said...... The giants have been destroyed, all taboos have come to naught, and as long as you don't disturb the king's sleep in the future, I won't do anything to you. ”

She took a step, and after only one step, she reached over to the werewolf princess and reached out to grab her. Di Liya in the elite stage actually didn't have the slightest ability to resist.

"Deria, don't be afraid, she has no ill intentions."

Xia sent a voice to the somewhat panicked werewolf princess:

"Mireyer must have agreed to my request, the godhead you acquired was in an incomplete state, and this limit is destined to be difficult for you to break through, and you have to use a dangerous devouring method to advance; She is the last guardian of the giants. Definitely can help you solve this problem. ”

"The Last Guardian."

The giantess murmured.

There was no doubt that she was able to intercept Xia's spiritual transmission.

Xia was a little surprised at first, but when he thought of the identity of the other party, he was relieved.

- If it weren't for the heavy blow, the giantess in front of her would be a figure who could confront the Radiant Lord Sado, the Ancient Dragon, and the Thirteen Dharma Gods, and she might not be at a disadvantage!

What's so strange about such an being being being able to hear the content of its own voice?

"Of course, I know that's a bit excessive...... So I'll compensate you accordingly. ”

She let the little Lori in black fly to a high place. Threw down a whole bunch of bottles.

This kind of conversation is not something that the giantess can perceive, because even she cannot go beyond the rules set by the god of creation, as evidenced by her failure to see through her own superpowers.

"Huh?"

The giantess was keenly aware of the appearance of something in the air, but when she looked up, the little Lori in black had already hidden and couldn't find anything.

"What is this, item summoning? You're really in a good mood. ”

She seemed to think that Natsu was the kind of alchemist who wanted to experiment anytime and anywhere, so she found the hollow to store items in a certain space. This summoning spell can save the user the hassle of packing a bag.

In order to use item summoning, one of the basic requirements is that you must be able to use spatial magic. In fact, she estimated Xia too high, in fact, someone hasn't even touched the threshold of space magic yet.

"You say yes...... That's it. ”

Natsu replied stiffly, holding the pile of bottles in his arms a little dejectedly, and flew into the air to hand them to Mireyer.

The level of the two sides is really too far apart, and it was just luck that she had a deep relationship with the other party. And now to do this, I am afraid that it will be more than ten times more difficult.

"This blood and pills...... Good abundance of life energy. ”

Mireyer is a person who knows the goods, and after opening a bottle, he smelled the contents, and his expression was very surprised:

"And they gave me so much at once, that the amount could already reach the level of a sacrifice. Where did you get that? ”

Then she glanced at Natsu's body, and suddenly smiled meaningfully, and didn't ask any more.

"Master, who is she? That's half a year's inventory. ”

Giving out so many things at once, the little Lori in black was very painful, and flew back to Xia's side with a bitter face.

"It doesn't matter, as long as she can use it, even if it's worth it for her, we'll slowly save it up in the future."

Xia was a little nervous when the giantess laughed just now, and said in her heart, shouldn't she have discovered my secret?

Now Mireyer is not the close companion she used to be, if she knew the utility of her body, it is difficult to say whether she would be treated as a flesh and blood slave of great replenishment, cutting a piece of flesh every day, and then putting some blood or something......

Hearing the master's words, the black-clothed little Lori blinked, as if she understood something in her heart.

"Has the master taken a fancy to this big monster?" She thought strangely:

"Why after disappearing for a year, the master's vision has deteriorated so much, this guy is ugly and dead, and he doesn't look good at all......"

"And this thing, maybe it will help you."

Xia thought about it, and it seemed that he still had the leaves of the World Tree, so he ordered the black-clothed little Lori to take out a piece.

"Leaves of the World Tree, you really have a lot of good things on you."

The giantess looked at the emerald green leaves in her hand:

"I don't need it, though...... It's better for you to keep it for yourself. ”

"Why? This leaf also contains a lot of life energy, and the effect is even better than the blood and medicine just now! ”

Xia said anxiously:

"Do you think it's too little? I can find a way to get you some more ......."

"It's strange that you seem to be more anxious about my own injuries than I am."

The giantess laughed:

"I'll keep the blood and the potion, they do help my wounds, but forget about the leaf in your hand, because it's harmful to me."

She pointed to the weapon on her chest:

"See these lilac crystals?"

"See. You...... Does it hurt? ”

Xia asked heartbrokenly.

"It doesn't hurt, they have planted a curse on me, and I am in torment all the time; Only by sleeping can we forget the pain, whether it is the flesh ~ the body...... Or my heart. ”

The giantess stretched out her hand and pulled out a sword with all her might!

This sword is about 3-4 meters long, which is quite an amazing weapon. After leaving her body, some filaments came out.

These filaments were somewhat similar to those emitted by the magic sword Terpona, except that one was light purple and the other was purple and black.

"Its power comes from the ultimate spell of the god of law, and it is also the pinnacle of wood magic and dark curses, this nameless magic sword may not be as good as the Valrhona sword you used before, but the energy contained on it is much more powerful."

She let go of her hand, and the sword slowly retracted, revealing a dark green corset through the shattered black rock on the surface of her body, but a large hole had been made in it.

Maybe it's because so much time has passed. This material of animal skin, which is not particularly tough, has become fragile, but the black stones themselves are very tough, and after being destroyed, they are also stuck together in a net, so the bodice has not been broken into pieces, and the original appearance can still be seen.

"Mireyer, I'll clean it up for you."

Natsu pulled out Valrhona's holy sword and began to clear the giantess of debris from her body.

Soon the giantess's toned body was revealed, and the animal skin clothes ...... It's exactly the same as what Xia saw in the memory world before. Again, the reality of that world is illustrated.

"I know there's a wonderful robe of flame that fits perfectly with the giants."

Her tears flowed again. Say to the giantess:

"I hope you can give me a chance to come in here again, three days at most...... No, two days! I'll be able to bring it back to you in two days. ”

"Don't come back, I don't need any clothes."

The giantess shook her head and said:

"As for your friend, she needs 2 hours to replenish the missing parts of the Godhead before she can recover. You must leave here in 2 hours. ”

Then without waiting for Xia to reply, he put the werewolf princess next to the dark green crystal, and then tapped the werewolf princess's head with his finger.

A mutilated cube floated into the air from where she had just clicked, hanging half a meter above the werewolf princess's head.

It's a bit like a broken Rubik's cube, with powerful threads embedded in the surface. After sensing the huge crystals next to it, these lines suddenly lit up at the same time!

"Remember, 2 hours."

After doing this, the giantess stomped the ground again.

The black rocks on the ground began to tremble at the same time, and then slowly flew into the air, converging towards her body.

"Mireyer, don't!"

Xia wanted to stop her, but the power contained in those black stones was very terrifying, and when they floated densely in the air, they were like mines, she gritted her teeth and slashed a few with her sword, and the anti-shock force on it immediately bounced back the sword body.

Seeing her move, the giantess let out a long sigh.

Even she didn't know what that sigh meant.

"Boom la la ......"

Rubble stuck to her body one by one, and the skin that had just been cleaned turned into a swarthy stone again.

Xia stood there dumbfounded, watching this heart-wrenching scene.

I don't know when, her tears were gone, and a light light appeared in the beautiful pair of red pupils.

When the black rock was about to cover the giantess's face, Natsu felt something break in her head.

Something she had never felt before erupted in the depths of her mind, which made her shake her mind and wake up all at once!

At this moment, the world seemed to become extremely distorted, and the mental fatigue and weakness disappeared in an instant, replaced by a deep numbness.

She seemed to be stiff and sluggish. It's hard to even move at once, and as this indescribable numbness gradually increases, the sounds, colors, smells...... All of them disappeared with them, except for a pair of eyes that were still bright.

In the end. All that was left in view was the gradually restoring stone statue, and nothing else could be seen or felt.

The only thing I could feel was the incomparable heartache!

When the last two stones were about to cover the giantess's eyes, Natsu's body trembled.

She began to call each other's names from her head, over and over again...... Calling with all his might.

"Mireyer, look at me."

Mireyer...... Mireyer...... I'm Xia ...... Do you hear me? Don't leave me! ”

"Mireyer! - Mireyer! - Mireyer――――――!! Look at me!! ”

The giantess's eyes, which had meant to close, snapped open.

Because, she saw the white light in the other party's eyes.

Natsu's eyes were already bloodshot at this time, and the succubus's already red and terrifying pupils became even more crimson. But two white circles of light were drawn around her eye sockets.

The giantess's eyes unconsciously changed, and a white circle appeared, and the eyes of the two met like this.

"--The Pupil of Insight."

Natsu's mind rang with the name of this ability derived from the memory world.

This name made the white light in her eyes reach its peak! Piercing the giantess into the eyes.

"It's ...... What the? ”

A series of memory fragments suddenly appeared in the giantess Mireyer's eyes.

"Oh? There are two little ones over there. ”

When she was still a guardian, she once deliberately smashed the altar of the Virgo, and then used spiritual detection to discover a human girl, plus a little girl with the blood of the dragon god.

"Hehe, you still want to escape? You're naïve. ”

"Oh? You obviously brought a sacrifice? ”

"Don't you want to enter the City of Stars?"

"Miss Giant? Hehe. You're so polite. ”

The two met, and those familiar conversations. One by one, they unfold in the soul as if they happened yesterday.

"Humanity is a hypocrisy."

Lying on the ground, she showed a dissatisfied look, and said to the silver-haired girl who had peeked at her before:

"-Didn't you say you liked me?"

"And you're still so interested in my body on the road...... Now that I'm all stripped naked and lying in front of you, why don't you even move?

The girl passed the test she set:

"I like people who are of good character and don't lie, and now you can tell me your name. I'll remember it. ”

"My name is Natsu."

The silver-haired girl replied.

"From this day forward, you are my only human companion on earth until you die."

It was then that she learned the girl's name for the first time.

"It was like having a beautiful dream...... When you wake up, you're just a phantom, both for you and for me. It's just too cruel. ”

That was the first time she felt lost in herself.

"Sometimes I think that the world we live in is just an illusory product...... Mireyer, have you ever had a similar thought before, feeling that the world in front of you is very unreal? ”

"Let's say, we're in someone's dream right now."

"This dream is so real, and it's so long, so real and so long that you can't even notice it, do you think it's possible?"

"Click......"

The black rock outside the giantess's body suddenly cracked.

"What are you doing to me?"

She snapped out of the sequence of images and shouted angrily.

"I didn't do anything, Mireyer."

The succubus on the other side looked at her sadly:

"This is our shared memory...... It's also the time we used to get along, don't you have the ability to see the real and the false? Why not dare to admit it. ”

"A lot of times, something that's too true is a lie!"

The giantess roared, shattering the rocks on her body!

Then he grabbed Natsu in the air and sent her to his eyes.

"Don't try to influence my will, even if you have the ability."

The white light in her eyes became more and more intense, as if she wanted to suppress the other party's spirit:

"You said the God of creation had given you something...... Maybe it's an artifact that can affect me! You cunning liar! I should have killed you as soon as we met! ”

"Only you can influence yourself, Mireyer."

Natsu's body rattled as it was scratched. The bones all over her body seemed to be shattered, but her eyes were still calmly staring:

"Look at me, look at my memory...... This is something that you have given me, and you yourself are not aware of it? ”

The giantess's body shook a little.

Then he shook his head slowly, stepped back step by step, and touched the huge crystal. There was a muffled sound.

"Keep showing me...... Summer. ”

After a long time, she spoke in a hoarse voice, and at the same time called out the name of the silver-haired girl:

"Let me see my other self...... What happened in the other world. ”

After all, she was a true deity, and she had already faintly felt the truth of those pictures.

But, as Natsu said, she couldn't refuse the memory.

Even if it is what she left behind in another world, as long as it once existed, it has an indelible meaning for her.

After the destruction of the City of Stars, she had been thinking about one thing for a long time. That's why the giants were ruthlessly abandoned by the true gods.

Is it because they're not good enough? Or is it because you have disobeyed the other person in some imperceptible way? So you were punished?

It all came too suddenly...... She didn't have time to react, and she couldn't know the truth behind it.

The invincible king has fallen, and the source of magic has been taken away; Seriously injured, she was like a godless soul, wandering endlessly in the world, experiencing countless dangers and fierce battles, and finally found this magical crystal, and began to sleep and recuperate in the sea of fog.

"As you wish."

Xia said softly.

……

In the dust, the giantess slowly sat down against the dark green crystals.

"Yes."

She smiled wryly:

"This is the story of me and you...... At the same time, it is a completely different ending. ”

That's all it takes. The giantess looked up at the green mist rolling in the sky. He sat there for a long time without saying a word.

"Mireyer, with what I know about you, it will be difficult for you to refuse even if I ask you excessively, because you still have the glory of the Guardian in you."

Natsu walked with difficulty, flapping her bat wings and flying to her knees. Lie down there.

"But...... I didn't do that. ”

She gasped~ in the place full of dust and gravel, and likewise looked at the sky full of green mist, and said to the giantess:

"Because I told you that when we meet again in thousands of years, I will surely capture your heart again."

She held out a hand. caressing the giantess's scarred legs with pity:

"I don't want to use that dastardly means to get your ......"

"Hehe, hehehehe...... Heheha!! ”

The giantess burst out laughing.

"Mireyer, I'm serious."

Xia endured the severe pain and turned over and sat up, she was almost seriously injured by the giantess just now, and now it is not easy to move:

"I know that everything that happens in that world is different from reality, and you have been irreparably traumatized, but ......"

"Use that leaf for yourself."

The giantess stopped laughing and said lightly:

"It's a pity that I'm not in the habit of letting others look at my own memories, otherwise you would know how blessed you are to see everything in that illusory place...... It's just dreaming! ”

When she said the word dreaming, her face showed mockery, and she didn't know whether she was mocking the other party's innocence and ignorance, or mocking her own experience.

"Your companion should be on the verge of success, so get ready to get out of here."

Her voice grew cold:

"Getting off my lap, I don't like people coming near me."

"-I don't!"

Xia threw himself on her thigh, refusing to come down.

"Whew!"

The giantess lifted her legs mercilessly, throwing her high into the air.

"My wings are broken!"

Natsu let out a scream in mid-air and fell straight down.

"Poof!"

Then a large hand caught her steadily.

"Hey......

Someone, who was still pretending to be dead just now, got up from the palm of his hand, and hugged her with a dead face.

"Mireyer, can you tell me something?"

Xia saw the giantess's eyebrows raised, and hurriedly changed the topic before the other party became angry, and cast his eyes on the huge dark green crystal:

"That green thing...... What is it? (To be continued.) )
