Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 142 Coming to an end
【. ], wonderful free reading without pop-ups! How powerful could a magical beast be thousands of years ago?
The thought kept coming to Reins's mind, and even though she had struggled to suppress it and had not stopped attacking the beast, the sluggish blade had been reminding her of it.
Just the fragments of souls that have been displaced for thousands of years on the continent where humans live can be tricky to such an extent, so what kind of existence was Arka in its heyday a thousand years ago, and the gods and even humans who could fight against it at that time?
The scythe in his hand became so heavy that it was almost unsteady to hold, and the blade made a dull clatter on the ground.
And she looked a little blankly along the blade, the ground was covered with blood that seemed to be able to form a formation, and the smell of blood even made her want to vomit again after many years.
What is the end of the blood? The arms and legs piled up haphazardly and the head with a face that couldn't be seen clearly were very eye-catching, not someone she was familiar with.
And after that? The red hair that made her feel somewhat familiar came into view, and the woman's arms seemed to show white hair, but it was stained with blood and a little dirty.
- What's going on? They're fighting Warcraft, and then ...... Lost patience with the beast, and the scene at hand.
Why is she still standing here? Moreover, it seems that there is one less person. That most important ...... Rhines dragged her heavy footsteps in the direction of the accumulation of her body.
She knew that the Monster was still there watching her, but she didn't know why the Monster hadn't attacked her for a long time, just as she didn't know why the light in the factory had turned an uncomfortably dim red.
There was also a man next to the red-haired woman, who seemed to be protecting her and the girl in her arms before she could not move.
Reins saw the broken pipes and piccolo, and next to them a man and a woman with rose-red hair, in front of them was a young man with his arms crossed in front of his face, and a man with his sword on the ground and his head bowed.
Flashing Dance.. Around them, four older males fell to their knees in protective stance.
She also saw a man with long black hair clinging to a woman with flaxen hair, still holding a gun in their hands.
A man with the same silver-gray hair as herself and another with iron-gray hair sat back-to-back in the distance, their heads hanging at an eerie angle.
There were a few more bodies that she didn't want to discern between movement and hair color. Everyone's eyes were closed, their bodies were covered in blood, and their bodies did not fluctuate in any way.
All the sounds in the factory came from her footsteps, so silent that her head was buzzing.
Until—a faint touch of gold came into view. For a moment, she seemed to feel the floor of the factory shaking.
The red light grew stronger, so intense that she felt like the whole factory was filled with molecules of blood and not just light.
"Is she doing something wrong?" She shouldn't have taken them to this troubled water, this kind of thing should have been handled by herself, the so-called for the safety of this continent and mankind, in the final analysis, it was only her own selfishness to destroy Roseos that she would come to this point.
“——!” What sound does it seem to have? I guess it's the beast. The human being here is all she has left, and it should be disposed of.
It doesn't seem to matter anymore, all of her has-
"—Rhine!" The sound that seemed to have been amplified in her ears slammed into her eardrums, and at the same time, it sliced through everything in front of her like a sharp blade.
The rich red quickly faded from view, and the scattered corpses and suffocating scenes dissipated like foam, and the blood that made her stomach was gone.
Reins blinked, and she looked slowly at the ground, where there were only craters and loose stones that had been smashed by heavy objects, and there was no trace of what looked like blood.
Flashing Dance..
"- What the hell!" Not far away, there was a familiar scolding sound, mixed with the swear words that she would normally scold the other party.
The red-haired woman sat on her knees, holding her head and yelling with a twisted expression, while the brown-haired man next to her happened to soothe her with a kind voice.
The white-haired girl was farther away, and she staggered over to Lillian's side and knelt down, and fell into Lilian's arms like a coquette.
Ella carried her intact short staff, and was rarely tenderly by the side of the ill-faced Iori, Bora sat on the ground rubbing her forehead, while the pale Nado picked up the flute he had dropped beside him and handed it to him, one of Nado's bodyguards was hiding in a far corner and vomiting, and the other three were gently patting him on the back.
Shuka and Imi leaned against the wall with their backs, their hands clasped together with each other, their faces passable; Sirua seemed to be greatly stimulated, and almost on the verge of coma, Ticharo helped him to sit on the ground, frowning and watching over him.
Huck shook his fist in the air at the unseen object with an ugly face, while Boe and his companions gathered in a circle, unable to see what they were doing.
Although the sudden change in the sight in her eyes was too extreme and made Reinse's head beat wildly, and for a moment she didn't even know which side was reality, but after feeling the familiar temperature coming from her shoulder, she decided to let herself relax and lean on it for a while.
Of course, before that, she turned her head to make sure that there were no undeserved marks on the other party's face.
"Do you want to sit down?" Apaya said in a warm voice,
"Your brain has been hit so hard that it needs a little rest." Reins didn't give him any response, her head was still dizzy, whether she moved or spoke, it would make her extremely uncomfortable, and she just forcibly tried to confirm Apaya's safety just to reassure herself.
However, the other party still thoughtfully helped her sit down slowly, let her sit sideways in his arms, and acted as a humanoid cushion for her.
"You don't have to answer me first, just listen to me." Apaya said slowly as she gently pressed Rhine's forehead,
"I just found a lot of turmoil in the data on the console, and Talos told me that you were bewildered by the beast's large illusions - neither I nor he were good at it, but if left unchecked, you could even die in the illusion." Reinth was reluctant to recall the scene, but she knew full well that what Aphaya said was unquestionable.
In that illusion, her mentality was so negative that she gave up resisting, and she still vividly remembered the cold despair that she had completely abandoned all desire to survive, and even made her think that it was her own thoughts.
"Your brother Kate and sister Mette didn't fall into a vision, so they went to try to wake up people who weren't particularly deep in the environment, and Talos went to help his brother." Appaia stroked Rheins' face with some apologetic feelings,
"I want to do that too, but I know you're too deep to wake you up like that with my abilities, so I can only try to get the data back to normal here at the console, so that the monster can't continue to output illusion magic."
"That's good enough." After resting for a while, Rheins, who had improved slightly, responded gently,
"It's the right choice, if you have to call me instead of solving the problem at the root, then no one else will wake up." Apaya buried her face in the Rheins' shoulder socket and rubbed it gently back and forth.
"Maybe I should learn magic from you when I get back." His voice was a little muffled,
"That way I can be more capable of helping you."
"That's not going to work." Reins pursed her lips,
"A machine alone can take up most of your time, plus a magic? Then I won't be able to see you again. Apaya chuckled softly, and Reins could clearly feel the vibration coming from his chest, and his exhalation was spraying near her neck.
"I think it's nice that you have that rigid and stiff personality right now." Rhines reached out and wrapped her arms around Apaya's neck,
"You can't be seen by anyone else." Even though the Engineer is always so popular, because of this, he always looks damn good when he laughs.
"I don't think anyone else will have the same aesthetic as you." Apaya mused and said,
"Who else but you would take a fancy to me?" Rheins raised an eyebrow.
"It sounds like I have a bad eye." Reins grumbled,
"Labor, don't look down on yourself so much, at least when I was a mercenary, I heard that many young ladies of the family were interested in the chief engineer of Morfi, and even some mercenaries."
"You also said you were the chief engineer of Molphy." Apaya blinked,
"And you're definitely not liking me for this title." Reins looked serious and nodded deeply.
"To me, that title just gives me more opportunities to laugh at you." Appaya looked helplessly at the smiling Leynes and sighed.
"And you didn't even ask me why we can talk about this here so leisurely now." Apaya gently pinched Rheins's fingers,
"I thought your first concern would be the current state of the beast."
"Well, I used to do." Reins said nonchalantly,
"But now that you know what I'm worried about, you won't drag me here to be lazy when you know it's urgent." Apaya didn't look like his expression had changed, but a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He lowered his head and kissed Reins lightly on the cheek, which ended up on her lips.
"Actually, it's not quite solved yet." Apaya said in a lazy voice,
"I just activated the emergency mechanism I found in the console and put it into a temporary slumber, which is effective for half an hour - considering the strength of the other party's soul, this time can be shortened to about ten minutes." Rhines looked at Apaya, who didn't look anxious at all, tilted her head slightly, and pressed her head against him.
"Looks like you've got it all figured out." Apaya smiled and rubbed Rheins' head.
