There was fire everywhere.

This is the first feeling Xia feels after waking up.

Before I opened my eyes, I could feel that my eyes were red, and the temperature around me had risen a lot, and the unbearable heat made it difficult to breathe.

"The host ......"

The little Lori in black knelt beside her, carefully wiping her body while shedding tears.

There was a half-empty water bottle next to it, and the towel in Little Lori's hand was also hot, but it was obviously not ordinary boiling water, but it was steamed like this by the scorching air.

"Sshh

"Stephanie, what time is it?"

Xia slowly sat up straight, held his forehead and said, only to feel a splitting headache.

Under her are two cushions stacked on top of each other, avoiding contact with the heat on the ground, which should have been carried by little Lori after she was unconscious.

"It's evening now, master!"

The little Lori in black jumped up from the ground and replied in surprise, wanting to jump into her arms like this.

-- but then it stopped suddenly.

She hung there, wiping her eyes, sobbing, and said:

"You seem to have been hit hard just now, and your head hit the wall, blame me for being so useless......"

"Don't say that."

Xia touched the back of her head and found that there was a large swollen bag, but for her now, this was not an injury that needed to be taken seriously.

"Forcibly transforming will drain your strength...... Come and show me. ”

She looked around closely, and found that the building was as silent as death, and she couldn't even detect the breath of a living person.

"You seem to have lost some weight."

Touching the face of the little Lori in black with his hand, and then pinching her legs and arms, Xia frowned and said.

"As long as I can save my master, it doesn't matter if I disappear from this world."

Artifact Lori whispered.

Hear her words. An indescribable emotion welled up in Xia's heart, and he stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry."

She kissed the cheek of the little Lori in black, and her eyes moistened:

"I shouldn't doubt your ...... For so many years, you have loyally guarded my side, looking for food for me when I was hungry, and desperately trying to protect me when I am in danger. How could you deceive me like this? Betray me? ”

“？？？”

The little Lori in black was enjoying the intimacy, tilting her little head and looking at her in confusion, not knowing what the master's words meant.

"Let's go out and have a look, don't stay here."

Xia barely suppressed the emotion in his heart, and looked up at the half-destroyed roof, which could collapse a second time at any time.

"I'll make your way, master!"

The little Lori in black reluctantly left her embrace and flew out incognito.

She has been by Xia's side all this time. Didn't leave the building, so I don't know what's going on outside.

The silver-haired girl stood up from the mat, her hand burning when she touched the edge of the mat, and it seemed that the temperature on the surface had reached unimaginable levels.

"Smack."

As she passes by a fireplace, a charcoal-shaped object suddenly falls from the side.

The thing resembled a tree root, though the arms, neck, and torso were barely discernible from the outline; The bottom two legs are all gone, and a large area of skin on the face has fallen off. Only a dark hole remains.

"This man died a terrible death."

Although he was already well-informed, Xia still felt his scalp tingle. Avoided the unrecognizable corpse.

When she came outside, the scene in front of her was like the end of the world, and she stopped in place with a shocked face.

Originally, this was supposed to be a rich man's house near the street, and there was a courtyard in front of it, and in the center was a fountain, which was elegant and chic;

But by this time, the pool had already evaporated. Not even a drop of water could be seen, the sturdy metal courtyard gate was gone, and the courtyard wall was reduced to a low wreckage.

In the distance, the streets are devastated; The beautiful sight I saw when I first entered Reo was gone, and all I saw was the scorched earth except the ruins. The location of the immigration office turned into a crater of terror, more complete than the damage caused by the fall of a meteorite; None of the surrounding buildings were spared, and at first glance it looked like a white wasteland.

"It's not like a normal bomb can do it."

Xia looked at the two distinct black and white boundaries in front of him, and a term suddenly popped up in his mind.

"No, it's impossible...... How could there be such a thing in this world. ”

She shook her head, pulled out a string, tied her hair into a ponytail, and drew her sword and headed out to the pit in the distance.

The probe looked inside, and was immediately smoked back by the scorching air.

"Is that yellow glow just now a fire?"

She put her arm over her nose and took two steps back to think:

"But why is it that everything is charred and black, only the perimeter of this pit is white."

"Master, it's dangerous in there! Now it's better not to get close. ”

The little Lori in black grabbed the placket of her clothes and didn't let her go any further:

"I'm sure that the attack just now was definitely caused by the explosion of divine power, and now that the aftermath has not completely disappeared, I am afraid that this place will not be able to live for a long time."

“…… Is it like radiation after a nuclear explosion? ”

Xia heard what she said seriously, dispelled the idea of continuing to approach, turned around and ran out of the city.

In such a situation, let alone saving people, it is unknown whether she can escape normally; The immediate priority is to get out of the city that has been completely destroyed, and then find a way to join up with the friends who remain outside the city.

"The rest of the people aren't too far away from here, so they don't necessarily be safe."

Seeing the tragic situation around her, her heart became more and more anxious, and the speed under her feet suddenly increased a lot.

"Stephanie, what are you doing?"

Xia saw the black-clothed little Lori suddenly stop and turned her head to look at a collapsed house. Something seems to have been discovered.

"Master, I think there's something weird about that place."

She heard in her head:

"A dark aura can be felt underneath the ruins, similar to the original Black Calamity."

This sentence really scared Xia Zhen:

"Really? Are you sure? ”

"Not as powerful as the Black Calamity, though, master; It just feels like it. ”

The little Lori in black knew what she was thinking, and hurriedly shook her head and explained:

"And now this breath is very unstable, and it seems to be in a dormant state. It is not a threat to you. ”

Xia stood in place and thought carefully for a while, deciding to take a look at what this unknown dark aura was.

"Let me go, master!"

The black-clothed little Lori stealthily penetrated under the ruins, and after a while, her surprised voice came from inside:

"It's from Wang Li School Park.,And it's a girl who has teamed up with you before.。

"Who is it?"

Xia couldn't stay still, so he hurriedly went over and cut through a broken wall with his long sword, and began to dig up the wreckage of the house.

"Orga."

The little Lori in black looked at the information bar:

"It's the ...... from the Firearms Division."

"Tess's sister?"

Xia was stunned.

Although she was surprised by the identity of the other party, the movements of her hands did not pause in the slightest. Because the other party was buried deeper, he had to let the little Lori in black help together, and used a long-handled weapon to pry up the pieces of the house one by one, revealing the girl with the red fruit below.

Orga appeared to be dressed as a maid, and fragments of black and white clothing could be seen hanging from her waist, and half a large bow; But other than that, all that was left was the ribbon around the neck, and the rest of the clothing was torn apart by the impact.

But I don't know how, it's clear that the surroundings have collapsed into that. Her clothes were mutilated, but her skin was unskewed. It looks very smooth and delicate.

"These legs...... That's right, this is Orga! ”

Xia still remembers the beautiful legs represented by the firearms department at the beginning, except that the plumpness is not as good as that of the werewolf princess, both the length and shape are very outstanding, and they are not much different from other women.

She didn't care about admiring the beauty of the other party's posture at this time, and after jumping down, she first checked her heartbeat and pupils. Then lift your hands and feet to see if the key parts have been damaged, and feel that there is no danger in moving.

As a result, it's okay not to move, but it's bad to move the other person's body.

A black aura suddenly burst out from Chiguo's girl, like a big curtain covering her.

"There's no divine power in it."

Xia instantly judged the strength of the black qi, and the movements in his hands did not stop. Grabbing Orga's thighs and dragging her out of the rubble.

Sure enough, the black gas disappeared as soon as it touched her clothes, and a scream faintly sounded in the air, and the black gas quickly retreated to the top of the girl's head.

"Cangchang!" Xia pulled out the dagger of the Divine Fall and aimed it at the place where the black qi entered.

"Gollum."

One eye was revealed on the girl's forehead, and it was immediately narrowed by the light of the Dagger, and she looked a little afraid.

"I'm sorry, Orga."

Natsu used the tip of the dagger to pick at the black eye, and picked it off the girl's forehead like a marble.

"Sure enough, at the level of the incubation period, it's much easier to deal with than the Black Calamity. What's more, there is still law suppression in the New World. ”

When the black ball landed on the ground, it suddenly shot out a vicious light, jumped up from the ground, and flew towards her eyebrows.

"--Not honest!"

Xia knew how powerful this thing was, and stabbed it in the center with the Dagger of the Divine Fall, and then used his mental power to cut it more than ten times in a row.

The special power contained in the Dagger of Godfall only stopped it for a moment, and the black ball stubbornly climbed up the blade of the dagger, and it didn't seem to be too affected.

But more than a dozen spiritual attacks worked abnormally, and the ball was split and flew out, falling to the ground and beginning to flee into the distance with a flick.

"Stephanie, grab it!"

Xia gave instructions to the black-clothed little Lori.

"Leave it to me, master!"

The black-clothed little Lori conjured up a large net that was originally used to capture the fragments of elemental magic, and flew above the ball to cover it.

“！”

“！！！”

The eyeball-like orb pulsed wildly inside, as if trying to break free, but how could something that could imprison the fragment of the god escape? In the end, she was obediently carried in her hand by the little Lori in black and carried it to her master.

Natsu carefully observed the black ball in the net pocket for a moment. Shaking his head slightly, he came to a conclusion:

"It's a resemblance, but it's not the eye I've seen in a knight's helmet...... Both the degree of evil and the power contained in it are too far apart; Even if there is a law suppression on the mainland, it should not be weak like this. ”

The black ball seemed to be able to understand her words, and suddenly jumped up angrily, rushed left and right in the net pocket, and wilted after a long time. Lying in it and not moving.

"You're still not convinced!"

The little loli in black hated it for being disrespectful to its master, and kicked the net pocket hard.

"Maybe there's something hidden in it."

Xia was also a little puzzled.

The aura of this thing is indeed from the same source as the curse of the Black Calamity, but for some reason it is too weak, and the power of the two is simply one heaven and one earth in comparison.

"Master, she hasn't woken up yet......"

The little Lori in black went over to check Orga's brain, then took out a piece of clothing and handed it to its owner.

"If only you helped her put it on yourself."

Xia's face turned red, this little Lori knows herself too well, but now is not the time to eat girls' tofu.

"Thank you for your hard work, take her after me."

She felt that the power in her body was not working. There are a lot of monsters outside the city of Reom, and it's not easy to rush out with a person on your back.

But it turned out that she was overthinking.

It wasn't until we were about to leave the city gates that I occasionally saw some people walking through the empty streets.

But after only a few steps, these people fell.

Except for a few who were able to get up and continue walking, many more never moved again, and fell to the ground forever.

"Strange, aren't there any monsters around here?"

Natsu looked at the vanished walls and gates. Reom's vaunted defenses are a thing of the past, and it stands to reason that the monsters that have been eyeing him all this time should take advantage of it.

"The hosts. Monsters tend to be more sensitive than humans, and should have stayed away from the place when they sensed the crisis. ”

The little Lori in black carried Orga and said in the back:

"That kind of divine power just now is very pure, at least it can affect a range of hundreds of kilometers, even if it is not affected too much, intelligent creatures will stay away from here."

Some dark-faced people began to gather where there was a water source, sucking the shiny water of the river and well. The water may have been strangely polluted.

People who lost their eyes at the sight of the golden light crawled on the ground in agony, red light and black smoke everywhere, obviously no flames were seen, but everyone could feel extremely thirsty and burning, this feeling was like burning from the bottom of their hearts.

"The first human city in the New World...... That's it. ”

See what you're looking for. Natsu's mood was unusually heavy.

"Princess Xia!"

Several soldiers in white armor saw her and shouted in this direction.

"You are ......"

Natsu didn't recognize these soldiers, but judging by the style of the armor, it should be Elion's subordinates.

"We thought you were back, why are you still here?"

A soldier approached in surprise.

They were counting the bodies near the city gate to see if there were any living colleagues and civilians, but they didn't expect to run into the silver-haired princess.

"I didn't have time to leave."

Xia said vaguely:

"What about the Commander and the Great Sage?"

"The great sage is dying and is trying to find a way to give first aid; His Excellency the Commander was also wounded, but not in serious trouble. ”

The soldier knew that she was highly regarded by the commanders and that it was not classified information, so he answered her question.

"Duragal is in danger?"

She was taken aback.

This great sage is arguably the friendliest of the Empire's people, and he holds a high position; If something does go wrong, it's not a trivial matter.

"Where are they now, I have some potions prepared by top pharmacists in my camp, and I will personally deliver them in a moment."

"It's in Camp 1, which was originally abandoned, but now we've taken it back."

Hearing the words top pharmacist, the soldier hesitated, but answered her question and pointed out the direction in detail.

"Stephanie, go back first and I'll join you all."

Natsu didn't know if his blood could save the life of a great sage, but he knew that there was someone who could.

That's the purple-haired saint Glori!

"I hope Deliya and the others are okay, this explosion is too evil."

Worried, she ran to the woods as she had agreed, only to run into Wendy flying in the sky halfway through.

This Wendy's eyes are red, apparently the vampire girl.

"You fool, why don't you come back soon?"

Wendy landed on the ground, grabbed her hand, and began to examine it from top to bottom.

"That little guy protected you."

After finding that she was fine, Wendy let out a long sigh of relief, looked at the little Lori in black who was carrying a woman on her back, and snorted:

"You're lucky, you're only slightly injured." After speaking, he shook off her arm fiercely:

"Do you think you won't die? With that level of divine power explosion just now, as long as you get closer, you will end up with no bones left! It's a miracle that you've survived so well, you idiot. ”

"I'm not that close......"

Xia Xiaosheng's explanation:

"Actually, I didn't get hurt at all."

"How dare you say that?"

Wendy pulled the back of her scarred hand, then lifted her hair a little more, pointed to the swollen bag on it, and said angrily, "And what are these?" ”

"Sorry to worry you."

Seeing Wendy's angry and coquettish appearance, Xia was very moved, and despite her resistance, he hugged her with both arms and whispered in her ear:

"Anyway, seeing you're fine...... It's just wonderful. (To be continued......)
