Dig out the heart?!

Natsu and Dorinda's faces were shocked at the same time.

"This ...... You seem to have mistaken something, honorable Miss Giant. ”

The silver-haired girl held up the elemental shield and reluctantly replied:

"I didn't mean to kill her, and I couldn't; And it wasn't me who brought her to this place, but the big guy behind you. I'm sorry for you, but I really didn't mean to summon you. ”

"Miss Giant? Hehe, you're so polite. ”

The giantess smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit:

"Do you want to talk about the pendant she was wearing? It's a real nuisance; But if you're willing to give her to me, I'll take care of it. ”

There was a hint in her words that she didn't take the magic talisman very seriously, and it didn't look like she was pretending at all from her expression.

"As for the big guy you said...... Is it meant by Aluca? ”

She glanced back at the Hill Watcher, who had stopped moving:

"It's not far from where it sleeps, and after completing the task, it went directly into a forced dormant state, which means that its power core should also be changed."

"She's my friend!"

The silver-haired girl's voice was resolute:

"I can't give her to you......"

"Don't be so hasty to refuse."

The giantess looked at her sweaty hard and finally let go of her hand.

Natsu felt a burst of relief in her body, and the wings on her legs stretched out, and instead of escaping like she had just done, they flew into her other hand.

"Oh? Didn't you run this time? ”

The giantess watched with interest as she walked towards Dolinda, not stopping her from doing so.

"Please let her go."

Xia looked at the little princess who was sandwiched between two fingers, and her face showed pity:

"She was just forcibly brought here. Like me, I don't know anything. ”

"In your human terms, it's like 'a cow or a sheep falling on a plate.'"

The giantess thought for a moment and made an analogy:

"People with the blood of gods are very rare, and most of them live in the forest of gods; It was a place that even I did not dare to set foot on easily; And the blood in her body is pure, and it would be nice if it were used as a sacrifice. Isn't it a blessing to come with you to the altar of Besfarniu on his own initiative? ”

"She's my friend."

Natsu reminded her again:

"I won't sacrifice her."

"Since you say you don't know anything. I might as well give you a reminder so that you understand what situation you are facing right now. ”

The giantess lowered her head slightly and stared at the two of them with her blue eyes:

"First of all, if you don't offer a sacrifice, I'll kill you."

She uttered the terrible words in an indifferent tone:

"This is the rule of the [Codex], and as the last guardian, I can't break it."

"I would also like to make one special note about the fact that many years ago...... You humans have once entered the City of Stars, I remember it well. There were thirteen people who entered. ”

"In the end, these thirteen people have achieved unimaginable achievements, which is enough to make them proud to be at the top of the whole world!"

After these words were spoken, Xia's body shook wildly and looked up at her in amazement.

Thirteen people.

Thirteen Dharma Gods?

"The power of the gods...... Did you get it from the City of Stars! ”

She felt like her heart had never been beating so fast.

It seems that inadvertently, I suddenly came into contact with a major secret, and I was not prepared at all.

"That layer of elemental magic shield on your body is the skill of one of them; Let me think...... It seems to be a man who likes to wear a moon-white robe, and I can't remember the name clearly. ”

"Strange...... I don't think I'll forget that. ”

The giantess tapped her fingers on her forehead in confusion: "It's not just the name. I can't even remember what they looked like now. ”

But then he put his hand down again, and said to the silver-haired girl:

"How. Look at your expression and seem to understand what I'm saying...... So, make your choice here. ”

She raised her head and looked down at the two humans in her hands with a haughty attitude:

"Will I mercilessly kill her here - or will I sacrifice her to me, and then, like those thirteen, become one of the most powerful beings in the world?"

The little princess Dolinda was tightly grasped by the giant, and she was completely unable to break free.

But it's better to be afraid. Her face was more uneasy.

At this moment, she was looking at Xia with a sad gaze, and she didn't understand how this sister, who had not been meeting for a long time, would decide, to dig out her heart as the giantess said? Or risking her life to continue to defend her, the person she had just met.

"I've known her for less than a week now."

"She seems to love me, but ...... It can be compared to the power of the Dharma God...... I'm afraid there is no one in this world who is not tempted. ”

Come to think of it. Dolinda suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her chest.

Not because she was scratched by the giant, not because of fear, but for something else, which even she didn't understand.

The pain made her breathless, her eyes filled with tears, and she did not dare to look or listen to the cruel judgment that was coming.

Soon after, she saw a pair of graceful legs come into view.

These legs are wrapped in a layer of translucent black silk, which looks seductive and moving; Walked in front of her and stopped, then bent slightly, and the full chest of the silver-haired girl appeared in his field of vision.

“――，―――。”

Dorinda's mind was in a trance, and she didn't hear what Natsu was saying.

"Is she going to gouge out my heart with her own hands?"

She didn't notice that as soon as this idea was born, the Dharma God Talisman on her chest was a little unstable.

The golden glow dimmed in half, and the giant's hand seemed to tighten again, and the feeling made her bones almost break.

“……？”

The giantess also said a word, which was also inaudible.

But her doubts could be felt, and there was a hint of anger in her tone.

"I mean. You didn't tell the whole truth, honorable Miss Giant. ”

Xia mustered up the courage to hug Dolinda's body, looked up and said to the giantess:

"Although you mentioned the rules of the Codex, you didn't tell me exactly what this sacrifice was."

She gently stroked Dolinda's hair with her hand, and her movements were full of pity:

"And what you said just now was, 'Her blood is pure. It would be nice if it was used as a sacrifice', so I can think of it...... It's okay for me to give you something else besides her? ”

"You're smart."

The giantess's blue eyes lost a smile, but they didn't show anger either:

"But whether the sacrifice is suitable or not is entirely up to my own judgment...... Aren't you afraid that you will disobey me and be killed here by me? ”

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and grabbed at the silver-haired girl, aiming for her head.

"In the end, I was puzzled by the thirteen people you mentioned."

Xia didn't dodge, but the elemental shield on his body remained active all the time.

The hand then just touched her head lightly. Then he shrank back.

Seeing this scene, the silver-haired girl's heart was even more confident:

"Please answer me a question...... If I give her up as you command, can you really guarantee that I will receive the same strength as those thirteen? ”

The giantess looked at her for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud, her chest undulating:

"Hahaha...... You're a funny little one. ”

Because the sound was so shocking, Xia couldn't help but condense the wind element on her ears, and then tightly covered Dolinda's ears so that she wouldn't be shocked.

The little princess, who had fallen into numbness, finally came to her senses.

She felt her head resting on a soft object. The ears were surrounded by something warm, and the whole mind seemed to be illuminated by a ray of light. The body has also become less painful.

"Summer ...... Sister? ”

Smelling the familiar smell, she slowly raised her head, and the beautiful face of the silver-haired girl appeared in her sight.

"I'm a person who can't lie, so I can't lie to you."

The giantess grabbed her hair with her hands, then bent down and sat on the ground.

A rumbling sound resounded across the land. A huge circle of floating earth rose from her side, and Dolinda, who had regained her senses, let out a scream and grabbed Natsu's neck tightly.

"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."

Xia hugged her petite upper body and said with a spiritual voice of encouragement.

Dolinda didn't answer. Just holding her tightly.

However, the originally sad face unconsciously revealed a smile.

Obviously, he is now in the hands of a powerful enemy who is impossible to defeat, and he may die at any time, and even the Dharma God Talisman may not be able to help him.

But after hearing this, an incredible sense of peace of mind rose in her heart.

"Well, I'll admit I didn't make it clear...... I really can't guarantee that you'll get the same power as those thirteen. ”

The giantess knocked her hand on the ground with some embarrassment, making a muffled bang:

"At most, I can only let you into the City of Stars, but where they gain power...... It was a mysterious place beyond the reach of the stars, and I had never entered it myself; Only our king knows how to turn it on. ”

"Can I know your name?"

Xia didn't continue, but asked sincerely:

"I think you must have a very nice name, it shouldn't be Umanda."

The giantess looked at her with some novelty, her huge dark blue eyes blinked twice, as if she was surprised that she could talk to herself so calmly.

"My name has divine powers, and I can't tell you by myself."

Maybe she thought it would not be too polite to reply so simply, so she added:

"This is likely to be a shock to your soul, and you may lose yourself as a result."

She thought for a moment, and let go of the fingers that were pinching Dolinda, and let the two of them hug each other smoothly.

"Sister...... Sister!! ”

The little princess felt that the restraints disappeared all at once, and immediately threw her body desperately at Xia, even wrapped her legs around her body, and tears fell down. Instantly wet her shoulders.

"Don't be afraid...... The other party is not actually a bad person. ”

Xia said comforting words against his heart.

――At every turn, it asks to gouge out the hearts of innocent people, and what is it that it meows, isn't it a bad person?

"Then I take the liberty of asking your king...... Is it called Ortvya? ”

She finally mustered up the courage to ask what she wanted to ask the most.

"I seem to be underestimating you, it's not like you don't know anything."

For the first time, the giantess showed a look of surprise on her face, and lowered the two of them to the ground with her hands.

"Ahem, ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

At this time, there is still a lot of floating dirt and dust on the ground. Xia and the little princess coughed for a long time before they recovered.

"Ahem...... I'm just, too...... cough cough cough ...... I heard that. ”

The silver-haired girl blushed and gasped as she said:

"If I want to see your king, is there any good way?"

"Our King is asleep, and has been asleep for a long time."

The giantess did not hide it, but told her what she wanted to know:

"If you will give me this little fellow, I may try to speak for you; But it doesn't seem like you're willing to do that. ”

She glanced at Dolinda, and the little princess didn't dare to look at her at all, and buried her head directly in Xia's arms.

"So the City of Stars...... What the hell is the place? ”

Natsu patted Dolinda on the back and saw that the other party seemed to be in a good mood. Seizing the opportunity, he asked a second question.

"If you ask me so many questions, you have to pay a price."

The giantess said slyly:

"How do you want to pay?"

After finishing speaking, she leaned over, and a huge place rippled, looking at someone in a daze:

"Until now you have not offered a sacrifice, and you may be punished by me at any time...... It's best not to forget about that. ”

She stretched out her finger and tapped the silver-haired girl's head, and the four-colored elemental shield dented slightly under the terrifying force. Then her fingers fluttered like bouncy bubbles as they retracted, quickly returning to their original shapes.

"What do you want? I can do my best to find it for you. ”

Xia stubbornly said:

"I've heard that giants love shiny treasures......"

"Hah-yaw."

The giantess stretched and said lazily:

"Are you confusing us with dragons? Glittering stuff though not bad. But how can it compare to all kinds of interesting things. ”

"Find something that will make me happy."

She rubbed her eyes and said:

"As long as I am happy, then I will count you as obeying the Code. So that you can leave with this little one, and I won't continue to embarrass you......"

"Boom!!"

At this moment, a fierce flame bombarded from a distance.

With a stream of light and scorching heat, the flame shot like a meteorite into the giant's lower abdomen, knocking her to the ground.

"Let's go!"

A woman's voice suddenly emerged from the flames:

"I'll deal with Mireyer, you two get out of here!"

"Xueqian?"

Natsu looked at the figure that appeared in the flames. First surprised, then a burst of weakness:

She tricked people to the other side of the sea, and then secretly repatriated the little Lori who was sent out; At this time, Xue Qian is obviously not as easy to deal with as after amnesia, could this be revenge?

"It's hot...... Who is it? Dare to call without a sound. ”

The giantess touched her head and sat up from the ground, and at a glance saw Xue Qian burning with flames around her.

"Are you...... Flame Goddess? ”

She seemed to recognize the other:

"You hot one. What the hell is crazy today? Suddenly they attacked me. ”

"Xue Qian, actually...... It's a misunderstanding. ”

Xia compared the forces of the three sides, and if there was a war, it was obvious that he was the first side to be killed, so he explained in a rambling voice:

"Miss Giant and I are discussing cooperation...... She didn't think anything of it would happen to me. ”

Xue Qian turned her head to look at her, and then turned her head back again.

"Don't call me by that strange name."

The red-haired goddess said in an unhappy tone:

"And ...... You are now my person, and whoever wants to do anything with you must have my consent. ”

Yes?

- Am I one of hers?

Xia froze suddenly.

What does this phrase mean?

"Hehe, her current fate is not in your hands, but in my hands!"

The giantess stood up with a sneer and said to the flame goddess floating in the air:

"Are you sure you want to go against me? You must know that your flames can't even burn through my skin, and you have no chance of winning. ”

"You can't hurt me either, Mireyer."

Mireyer seemed to be the name of the giant lady, and Xue Qian raised her head high, looked at the other party and said:

"But I can do something terrible to you...... Want to give it a try? ”

"Something terrible? You're on—"

Mireyer had just shown a mocking look, and suddenly her face changed, as if she had thought of something.

"Peng!"

The body of the Flame Goddess turned into a puff of exploding flames and rushed straight into the giantess's chest.

"Poof!"

After a soft sound, the giantess's left chest shook violently, and then the heavy green animal skin produced a burnt smell.

Mireyer exclaimed, reaching out to cover the burnt clothes, Natsu's eyes were sharp, and she saw an object flashing from there, the shape and color of which were very cute.

"That thing...... Could it be ......?"

Someone quietly swallowed:

"It's so big, it shouldn't be a problem to hang my whole body, right? I just don't know what it feels like to touch it......"

"Flame Goddess! You guy, how dare you do this to me? ”

The giantess gritted her teeth and stepped back, covering her chest with one hand and taking the harp behind her with the other.

"- Do you want to come again?"

Xue Qian reached out and patted the ashes that fell on her clothes, and swept her long fiery red wavy hair back in a dashing manner:

"Your rhythm attack doesn't work on me at all, you can't forget that." (To be continued.) )
