The blood-colored waters churned, as if repelling the two men who had come here, and made a sound like human resentment.

However, this obviously could not stop the current Ulysses, who even had zero contact with all the evils in this world, such as the Dark Grail, might be afraid of this level of resentment.

If there is anything else in this world that can make Ulysses feel fear, perhaps the only thing is the blood-colored mist that represents the fragments of Yulia that he saw that night.

The vanishing Yuria, that is the eternal pain in Ulysses's heart. Unlike Sister Mira, who just left for a distant place, Yulia said goodbye to this world in front of him, and even if she lied, she couldn't deceive.

Therefore, seeing Sister Mira, who had a similar fate, Ulysses would not let such a tragedy happen again in front of him under any circumstances. Even if he gambles everything, this time he has to protect his first love when he was a child, the fruit that withers before it blooms.

No matter how unrealistic and idealistic this dream is, Ulysses is willing to go to the end with Mila instead of destroying this beautiful summer day by violent means.

"Xiao You, do you really want to go in?". Mira, who had been brought here by Ulysses, looked a little uneasy, and she looked at the door that did not lead to the place with confused eyes, and did not seem so willing to enter.

"I'm sorry, Sister Mira, it's just this time, can you listen to me. Ulysses looked tenderly at Sister Mira who was being embraced, and the faint smell of violets lingered around him as if to advise him not to enter this last door.

But it is necessary, and if Sister Mira is to wake up from this dream, then she must step through this door.

This is something that Sister Mira can't do alone, as the true creator god, she has been sleeping on the highest seat in the deepest part of the blue sky world, and here she is just a princess who spent the warm summer in Mira Village as she remembers.

So, no matter how many times this summer dream cycles, it is absolutely impossible for her to come here alone. Without his help, the dream would have gone on forever until, as Angela had said, something about Sister Mira would be sacrificed to the resurrection of the Dragon King.

After a while, Mira still chose to trust Xiao You next to her, who was more handsome, powerful, and almost omnipotent.

In fact, she is also very curious, behind this door, what is it?

"Let's see, then, if the true fruit of this world was just speculation before, then now Ulysses can be sure that behind this door are those.

In Mira's somewhat uneasy mood, Ulysses slowly carried her through the broken but miraculously still not collapsed door, as if to prepare her psychologically.

From the outside of the door, you can't see the world inside the door at all, you can only see some blurred light and shadow, and only those who really step through this door can see the real appearance behind the door.

So Ulysses saw it, and so did Mira, the world that had rushed out behind the door of sixteen bloodthirsty three-headed dogs.

"Sure enough," Ulysses said, "That's right."

"This ...... Over here...... For...... It's fake!" Mira's eyes became flustered for the first time, and she jumped from the crook of Ulysses' arm, once again looking hard at everything around her.

In Mira's imagination, the place where so many vicious monsters rushed out must be a monster nest full of flames, poisonous gases, all kinds of terrible plants, and even many animal entities.

However, there was no, no trace of a monster, no burning flame, no green poison gas, no strange plants, not a single animal bone.

It was a quiet room, very, very large, so big that the walls around it were almost a small black line, and the color of this room was a soft violet, and the rows of wide bookshelves were arranged in a row, stretching far and wide, and it looked like a huge library.

However, this is not a library, because there are no books on the shelves, only paintings, and they are very beautiful and beautiful, like the sweetest paintings in memory.

And the scenery depicted in these paintings is no stranger to either Ulysses or Mira, because that is the scenery of Mira's village. And the people in the painting are all from Mira Village, and the most appearing of them is the trio of Ulysses, Yulia, and Rasha.

The order in which the paintings are placed seems to be based on the rules, because if you walk down a row of bookshelves, you will see Angela in the back, the blonde girl in Zelda City, and the disaster scene that appeared not so long ago.

However, only a small part of the paintings representing the catastrophe are placed, and the vast majority of them are Ulysses, Julia, and Rascha living happily together in the village of Mira, just like the eternal summer colors.

Even in the later paintings, which represent the occurrence of disaster, these three people are always together, helping each other and moving forward hand in hand, symbolizing the last hope and redemption in the nightmare.

Among those paintings, Ulysses was surprised to see a picture of what he had grown up with. The picture in that painting is simply a copy of the current one, not only the expression and face are almost identical, but even the confident smile is the same, except that he is wearing white clothes in the painting, and now he is wearing black clothes.

Ulysses was no stranger to that white robe, because it was the most orthodox clerical robe of the Church of the Most High God, representing the brilliance of white. In that painting, he is just like the ideal him.

Without exception, the last painting on the bookshelf is a giant dog with three heads, and Mira once dutifully guarded Kakari.

In that painting, Kakari pressed it with his monstrous claws, and the three bloody maws devoured everything like three large black holes.

It is not at all clear how many of these bookshelves were lined up, Ulysses. But what he represents with these bookshelves and the paintings on them.

Each row of bookshelves here represents a summer, a reincarnation. There are so many rows of bookshelves here, and Sister Mila has spent exactly the same summer many times. She would keep picking up a paintbrush at the beginning of the summer, writing down everything about the whole summer, and then ending the summer in a nightmare.

The appearance of that nightmare is the appearance of Kakari that he knocked down with his own hands. In this endless cycle of summer, Sister Mira has repeated this thing many times.

However, it can be over now, not to destroy this summer dream, Ulysses just wants to use the most natural way to make Sister Mira, who is her first love, understand that she no longer needs to be afraid of that nightmare, and can wake up from the dream well.

This beautiful summer will not end, it will only stay in the memories of the two. In this world, Ulysses has learned a lot and forgotten a lot, and for him, this summer is like a treasure trove, full of happiness that he has forgotten and needs to cherish.

Therefore, he will protect this place, protect the owner of this dream, and protect this girl who is trembling by her side as soon as her first love is hazy.

"For here," Mira walked through the rows of bookshelves with a pale face, looking at the paintings she had drawn again and again.

Each painting is a fragment of memory, a period of happiness, and in the summer, she painted many, many of these paintings. Each painting is her brainchild and her dream, so it only takes one look at it to understand that they are all her works, unique treasures.

However, the number was not right, she could not have painted so much, and it was impossible to fill so many bookshelves.

One, two, three, four...... Mira counted the rows of the bookshelves here, and it soon became clear that it was almost impossible to count them because there were so many.

The concept in the dream is not at all the same as the real world, and how many summers have been spent in the dream, Ulysses does not, and Mira will not remember.

It's just that this incomparably large room, the room where all the memories of the summer are placed, tells Ulysses and Mira that the summer that keeps coming has already been repeated many, many times.

"Xiao You told me that everything here is just a phantom, just magic... Right. Mira looked at Ulysses with tearful eyes, and seemed to pin all her hopes on his case.

However, Ulysses did not choose to retreat to comfort the overwhelmed Mira, but shook his head slowly, but with great firmness.

"Maybe here... These paintings..."Mira tried very hard not to cry, she looked at everything around her in a daze, and felt as if the world was about to collapse.

"It's okay, Sister Mira. Ulysses stretched out his hands and pulled Mira into his arms. Unconsciously, he no longer looks like he was when he was a teenager, but when he grows up, he wears a black robe.

This means that the forbidden technique "Son of Prayer" he cast has finally completely invaded the core area of this world, and his power has been completely liberated in this world.

"I'm at that time," Mira's shoulders trembled slightly, as if something terrible had happened.

"Boom!" the whole world began to show signs of extreme instability, and the people who were still alive in the dream began to look around with the same uneasy eyes as Mira, as if sensing the end of the world.

However, it is not the end that comes, but the cessation.

The whole world suddenly came to a halt.

Everything was still.

The wind-blown pieces of paper remain in the air and never move again: the tail of the fish that jumped out of the water is still stained with droplets, but it can no longer rise a little: the people who are trying to save their property from the disaster are as if they have been petrified and solidified into lifelike statues.

The whole world, only where Ulysses and Mira stood, was still flowing, and the rest of the world was completely static.

Then, darkness arrives, and Ulysses enters a chaotic space.

The unpalpable passage in this space seems to have only passed for a short time, but it seems to be a year long.

Ulysses waited patiently, waiting for the culprit of the deepest "nightmare" that had brought Sister Mira into this situation.

It was very difficult to get close to stillness, and Ulysses thought about many, many things, but most of them were from that summer. There are still many, many blanks in his memory, and although he has recovered some of his memories by watching Sister Mira here, there are still many parts full of doubts.

It seems that Angela came to Mira Village because of this, what happened to him and them during this trip, who is the girl named "Mel", and how Zelda City is destroyed by power.

Maybe it's because of the side effect of deliberately making Yuria's memory disappear.,A lot of this paragraph is already a blank.,It's not that I can't remember that level.,It's just the feeling of not being there.。

But they did happen, this summer, the summer that changed his life.

Perhaps this was the punishment he chose to forget about Yuria, and those precious memories were no more.

Therefore, he will better protect what he failed to protect at that time.

In the darkness, there was a stir, some chaotic colors, and small sounds.

"What is the princess doing today?" It sounded very steady, but the rhythm of the voice had a strange sense of pressure, like a stone.

"There are no major changes, the fusion of the reincarnation spell has increased by one thousandth, and it will probably take a few years before reaching the predetermined area. The owner of the voice seemed to be female, slightly sharper.

"That's good, don't worry, we still have a lot more. Mira is the only candidate in this generation who is likely to perform the Dragon Vein Reincarnation Technique, and she must be protected so that she can't have any more accidents. ”

"Patriarch, do we really have to do this? we really need the power of Kaku, it's so unfair to Princess Mira. Before she fell asleep, she was so looking forward to being able to Mira Village. There was a hint of confusion, or questioning, in the woman's voice.

"Despite his character, Kashu's power is indispensable to our clan. With Osiris and Peggy gone, we dragons can't afford to lose him anymore, so the ritual of reincarnation is imperative, and we can only grieve Mira, which is also agreed by her parents. ”

"Poor Princess Mira, when she finally got to that village, she was so happy, I heard that there were a few of her there" Obviously, the female voice was sympathetic to Princess Mira.

There is no way to do this kind of thing, she was chosen, and such a fate is inevitable. She was born for this mission and did not allow her to luan. The voice from the patriarch was unmistakably resolute, and it represented a verdict on Mira's future.

"I, but the princess" sympathetic female voice of Mira hesitated, as if to say something.

"You don't have to worry so much, just take good care of Mira, I'm afraid she won't wake up again, and when Kafu agrees, she will be Kafu's rebirth. ”

"Me. ”

"The princess is about to wake up after eating it, can you give Kakari a good night's sleep for how long" In the haze, the darkness quietly dispersed, and Ulysses saw a blurred face, a female face with a gentle outline, but a pair of dragon horns on its head.

"Where is this, have I slept for a long time?". Sister Mira's voice echoed in the darkness, as if she didn't understand what had happened.

"This is the royal court of Agunis, hurry up, ah!" The woman with a pair of dragon horns suddenly flew up heavily, and behind her, a giant dog that woke up from time to time, a giant dog with blood-red eyes and three heads.

That's the last monster to appear in Mira's nightmare, the enemy who has captured the last bit of hope.

Then, darkness fell again.

"There's really no way, for you're so soft-nosed, you can't do anything big like this, but fortunately I let Kakari keep an eye on you, otherwise you would really let Princess Mira go." ”

"Patriarch, that's wrong, shouldn't be in this column" The staccato voice sounded with a violent cough, and it was clear that the owner of the female voice had been seriously injured.

"There are some things that you have to do, even if it's wrong, because it's necessary. The patriarch's voice didn't waver in the slightest, for he had more and more to think about than the people below.

"Mila just let her sleep all the time, this is already the best outcome for her, she is not the best. ”

"She is a child destined to accept fate, a sleeping princess. ”

Darkness, boundless darkness, but not the kind of darkness that Ulysses was familiar with, but more like nothingness.

Here, neither.

Here, there is no need for any.

Here, it represents the initial void, the void that does not exist.

Then, one day, some broken symbols appeared here. These symbols represent dreams, representing constant fantasies.

Among these symbols, a figure was born, sleeping peacefully and curled up like a newborn baby.

It's just that she has wings behind her, enough to dominate the world and declare the only power and responsibility.

Finally, one day, she opened her wings and opened her eyes to look at the world without it.

As if she had forgotten the language, she couldn't speak, but she stretched out her hand little by little.

The light, born in her hands, was the first ray of light, the first hope of this world.

In the light, a small figure appeared, the figure had black hair and eyes, and the expression was a little out of maturity for his age, but with a hint of girlish vitality, and that person Ulysses was all too familiar, because it was him.

After the first rays of light appeared, the sky and the earth began to separate, the light rose, the heavy sank, the infinite colors stretched, and little by little the whole world was formed.

The sky was high and the clouds were light, and the sky was as blue as it had been washed several times, and only a few white clouds floated to block it. The slightest breeze swept by, causing the clouds to change shapes, most of which resembled snow-white marshmallows.

This is a season of energy and hope, when children happily run around the mountains and the seaside, and they will not get tired after playing all day.

In the high sky, light, water, and wind began to be born, and then turned into a beautiful white figure, spreading two pairs of beautiful wings behind him, giving this world more vitality and life color.

People and animals began to live on the land, fish began to swim in the river, birds began to fly in the air, and carrot-loving rabbits ran around in the woods.

Little by little, the whole world becomes vivid, just like a watercolor painting that is depicted, in the end there is only monotonous color, but with the pen of the painter, the world in the painting becomes alive.

When the whole world was no longer able to distinguish the real from the fake, she was born from the darkness and put the first light in her hand into this world.

The sparkling water of the river flows slowly downward, the cool river breeze blows through the river with the smell of aquatic plants, the misty sky is clear, and the soft sunlight is projected on the water, reflecting pieces of golden light.

"Regarding the ten commandments of the Church of the Most High God, we have the merciful Lord, who is the only light in this world" Under a leafy tree by the river, a young man dressed in white gathered and looked at the heavy book in his hand attentively.

Then, a second light fell, and behind the boy, a girl in a pink dress, always uneasy to watch, appeared at the edge of the woods with a small wooden sword.

After the third ray of light fell, a girl who happily jumped several meters high, and then supported the ground with one hand, showing otherworldly strength, also came into this world.

Ulysses, Julia, Rasha, the protagonists of this painting are reunited.

And the person in charge of painting also appeared by the window of the tallest building in the village, she is the embodiment of the god of creation in this world, and she is an artist who records this world with her eyes.

The creator god, who had done all this, smiled at the dreamlike picture and closed his eyes quietly.

That's fine, that's fine, if that's her fate, if that's her inevitable end. At least, she can still dream, and she has been dreaming about this summer.

In fact, the father and mother, who did not complain, had abnormal bodies since childhood, and may have had fatal diseases. So she has always cherished the ones around her, and the few that are there.

Among them, Xiao You, Xiao Xia, Xiao Ya, and later Angela, who met in Mira Village, are her favorite people.

So, if she can't change her fate, then at least she can still have such a dream, everyone has been together, not separated, and has been dreaming in that summer.

Even she didn't resent Kakari all the time, and the reason why she regarded it as a symbol of the end of each summer was just because of a little mischievous psychology. Because it's always been stupid, let it be the last enemy, and no one will encounter it anyway.

This dream is so long, so long!

This time, did the dream start again? Mira opened her eyes on the throne of the supreme god, and her six wings slowly stretched out.

She only wakes up like this every time the dream starts again, because she is responsible for resetting everything for the whole summer.

The world in dreams is not static, and sometimes small errors can have unexpected results. For example, if a child forgets once, it can cause a forest fire, and then she needs to exert a little strength to repair the damage caused by the fire.

However, the only moment that made her fully sober was when the summer first began, which meant that another summer should begin, and a little look at the end of the previous summer and recalling those warm images was enough to satisfy her, the creator god.

There is not a continuous connection between summer and summer, and there will be a small gap in it for her to restart a new summer.

It was the happiest thing for her as the creator god, to be able to go to the room at the end of her dream alone and look at the paintings that recorded another summer.

Every summer is similar, but it's different. What remains unchanged is that Xiaoyou, Xiaoxia, and Xiaoya are happily together, just watching quietly, she is already very, very happy.

With the six wings behind her folded, Mira walked into the huge room expectantly, and soon found the best row of bookshelves.

The first painting she saw was a masterpiece that she was already very familiar with, Xiao You, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Ya were always together, and they were moved by her to paint them.

However, after passing through a bookshelf, some different paintings appeared.

It was a very handsome, very chic painting of Xiao You, in which he easily defeated Lashya, which made the competitive Lasha angry, obviously not so convinced.

The second time, the third time, Lasha changed her weapons several times, but none of them won, and Xiaoya, who was on the side, clapped her hands vigorously and cheered for her brother.

Xiao You suddenly became powerful, ah, Xiao An is here, she is still so strong.

Look, sure enough, they quarreled with Laxia again, Xiao You was really powerful, and he actually stopped them. But Xiao An and Laxia won't end it so easily, they have been arguing until the end, and it's not for.

What an accident...... Hey, this picture ...... Mira looked at one of them with a surprised expression, a painting that hadn't been seen in countless summers, a painting that made her suspicious eyes.

In this painting, Xiao You is bathed in the summer sun and bravely stretches out her hand.

"I like you, Sister Mira. The memory in the painting revived, and in the painting, he looked at Xiao You in front of him with a shy gaze, and then answered.

"Not yet.

"Now, you're too young, grow up a little, I'll wait for you to grow up. In the painting, she gently hugged Xiao You and responded to his confession.

Ahh So far, there has never been such a thing, and that Xiao You has suddenly become so courageous.

As a result, the number of people in the painting has changed subtly, and the girl named Mira began to appear more and more in the painting, becoming the color in it, and the summer afternoon sun began to permeate the smell of love.

It was an unprecedentedly beautiful summer, the happiest dream for her. Even though it was clear that all this was just a fantasy, it was the first time that Mira had seen what Xiao You had really confessed, and that was something that had not happened countless summers before.

Then, there was the thrilling trip, about which she had only dreamed about. Although she encountered a lot of dangerous things, she also saw the Xiao You who grew up, which made her heart flutter and blush, so although this trip was not safe, it also became her precious memory.

Wait, this is? Xiao You defeated the Storm Dragon and eliminated the enemy with the magic sword, so powerful, Xiao You became so strong when he didn't know it?

Ahh

Ah, he picked her up and took her to the lowest level of the ruins, where Kakari's nest was, the safest place in the world. In this world, Kakari is the strongest monster, very powerful.

Hey, Kakari was defeated, was it because it was too stupid? Xiao You carried her into the final room—wait, isn't this room here?

"Sister Mira, it's been a long time. Ulysses, who was on the corner of the latest bookshelf, waited for the creator of this world, his lost first love.

"Little You?" Mira looked at Ulysses, who was dressed in black and grew up, with an unbelievable look, and covered her mouth, "You can't be here, I haven't started dreaming yet......"

"Because, I'm not the little You in my dreams. Ulysses smiled at Mira, who hadn't figured out the truth yet, and it had taken a lot of money to get here.

But the work paid off, and he finally waited here for the person he wanted to see, the only god in this world.

This is the world where there are only gods, so he only needs to come here, even if he doesn't have to destroy this world, he can wait until this lovely creator god.

"Isn't it a dream? no, isn't it, is it......" Mira took a step back, her eyes full of nervousness and unease, but mixed with a hint of anticipation, hope.

It was the hope she had already given up, the road to the future that had been cut off after the appearance of the three-headed Kakari. Even if Ulysses did come to her, it would not have been able to make her a fact.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long, Sister Mira. Ulysses approached the restless Sister Mila step by step, and then lowered her head.

It turns out that from time to time, he is already taller than Sister Mira.

"I like you, Sister Mira. Once again, the confession sounded like a voice of regret in this room full of happy memories.

This is the voice that announces the end of this summer dream.

(To be continued)
