Chapter 763: The Real Base 8
After receiving a certain amount of attack, the Star Spirit will automatically return to the Star Spirit Realm to heal, where it is filled with the power of the stars, so their injuries will heal faster.
However, as long as the Astral Spirits themselves don't want to, or if they don't take enough damage, the auto-recurr will not be triggered; In addition, if the star spirit itself is subjected to special magic, such as being taken over by a sorcerer using a 'human subordination', it will not be able to return.
It's just that 'human subordination' is lost magic after all, and it is taboo to use this trick to occupy other people's bodies, so no one will use this situation unless that person is extremely stupid or a psychopath.
Someone with a strong magical talent like Kira would definitely not use those clumsy spells, and it would be easy for him to use the magic that would cut off the spatial connection.
…… It hurts...... The pain irritated Rocky's nerves, causing him to slowly open his eyes.
"You're finally awake? Congratulations Rocky, you're a girl now! "Nani?! The familiar tone and terrifying words made Rocky's heart explode instantly when he woke up and was still in a trance, but after carefully feeling that his body was still complete, he calmed down for more than a while.
Immediately afterward, Rocky found himself in a dimly lit room, lying on the bed in a patient gown, looking no different from a patient who had just undergone surgery.
“…… Who gave me a change of clothes? Rocky looked at Kira, who was sitting next to him, operating some kind of metal instrument in his hand, and tinkering with something.
"That's the first thing that comes to your mind?" Kira didn't lift her head, and continued to swing the unknown thing in her hand.
He wore a metal mask on his face, a white lab coat, and heavy gloves on his hands, and on the table in front of him, there was a dense network of mechanical metals that didn't know what to do, looking like a mechanic working on magical weapons.
"What are you doing? Where am I? …… Wrong! Why knock me out?! Also, where is everyone?! Rocky asked a series of questions, throwing out all the doubts in his heart.
"Don't worry...... Listen as I explain to you slowly! Kira slowly calmed Rocky's emotions as wires, wrenches, screws, and hammers changed hands, clanging metal and sparks on the table in front of him.
"It's Gray who changed your clothes, I don't know if he did anything to you, and then this is the real Base 8, just underground where I took you before, it's just easy to stun you, and ......" At this point, Kira finally finished the work in hand, he got up from his position, took off his mask, gloves and coat and threw it aside, then picked up a watch strap from the table and put it on, and after counting the dots, a virtual image appeared on the watch, which looked like a rudimentary grid map.
"I'm working on a magic tracker." What do you mean by stunting me and just getting my hands dirty?! After all this time, your personality hasn't changed at all?
! Wrong...... He's changed! It's just getting worse! Can such a person really lead 'Fairy Tail'?
! Rocky complained frantically in his heart, took a deep breath and wanted to get angry at Kira, angrily scolding him for not talking about magic and sneak attack, but when he heard a certain term in the other party's mouth, he was stunned: "Magic...... Trackers? ”
"It's looking for Lucy's locator, if I'm guessing correctly, you're here for this, right?" Kira said as he spoke, his hands moving incessantly, pressing the meagre buttons on his watch, the sound of 'dripping' echoing through the empty room.
Finally, Kira seemed to have finished testing something, took off her watch, threw it to Rocky, and said, "This one seems to be okay, so I'll put it on for you for the time being." In fact, up to now, Rocky's brain was still confused, but out of trust in his companion, he still hurriedly took the watch, and when he looked closely, he found that the watch was made of some kind of alloy, with only two or three buttons and a small crystal screen, which can be described as extremely sloppy, but faintly exuded a sense of high-tech contrast!
Even though he was skeptical of Kira's claim of a 'locator for finding Lucy', Rocky knew that Kira would never do anything that didn't work!
Looking at the watch with a little quality in his hand, Rocky's heart was hot: "Can you find Lucy with this?" Do you say that you have successfully opened the passage to the parallel world? After finishing speaking, Rocky realized that he was in trouble: because of the Star Spirit King's information, he knew that Lucy was very likely to be trapped in a parallel world, but Kira had no information about this, how could he possibly know what parallel worlds were not parallel worlds?
"That...... The parallel world is ......"
"Come on, I'm probably better at this stuff than you!" Before Rocky could finish explaining, Kira interrupted him with a sneer, just like he had done in the guild.
"Open up parallel worlds? You want to be beautiful! It's just a mana tracker, not a space-time teleporter! Let me figure it out! This is "Fairy Tail", not "Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse"! Rocky's expression froze again: this guy was saying something confusing again...... However, combined with the tone and context, he still heard the meaning of Kira's words, that is: this thing can't find Lucy now!
"This watch has two functions, one is to locate the location of everyone in the guild, and the other is to teleport to the guild base, but only in the same world, at the same time! Like Lucy, who doesn't know where to run, it can't be tracked! "So what do I want this for?
? With Rocky's depressed expression, Kira walked out of the room, and Rocky immediately picked up the suit next to the bed and put it on, and followed behind Kira, who had to quickly figure out the current situation.
The walls, floors, and ceilings along the way were all made of wood and stone mixed with metal, and the light was as faint and dark as the previous room, and it looked like Kira was a secret base beneath the ground, as Kira said.
"I mean, can't you just get the lighting here?" Rocky grumbled at Kira's back, and a golden ball of light condensed into his hand, illuminating everything he could see.
"What are you kidding? …… Wait a minute! What are you doing?! The change in the surrounding light made Kira's face change suddenly, and she hurriedly scolded, and at the same time turned around and slapped away the lion brilliance in Rocky's hand,
"Don't stop yet! If you do that......"
"If I do that...... What will happen?? Rocky's heart instantly rose to his throat, Kira's nervous reaction he had never seen before.
The light was bright and dim, so that Rocky's child hole did not react, he could only see the figure of Kira in front of him approaching, and then his angry shout came from his ears: "If you do this...... Isn't the atmosphere of the secret base completely ruined?! ”
The sudden turn of "......" made Rocky stunned again, and only after a long time did he complain to himself: "I've been crazy for too long, I forgot this guy's character......" Kira didn't care about Rocky who was in a daze, turned around and walked forward, and Rocky didn't realize that he had been left behind until he finished complaining madly in his heart, and hurriedly ran forward.
According to visual inspection, Rocky judged that this underground base was large, but the layout was not complicated, and after walking along the road, he finally came to an open field!
This clearing is about the size of two or three guilds, and there are many statues made of stone or wood in the clearing, each of which has its own unique shape, some guild heraldic shapes, some holy sword shapes, and some familiar partner shapes, the statues are lifelike, and there are stone pillars or wooden pillars around as protection, and there are colorful and colorful lighting crystal lamps on them, and the crystal lamps of various colors illuminate the entire underground base as bright as the ground.
In addition to the crystal lanterns, another thing that provides light is the huge campfire in the center of the clearing, which is carved out of the wall and leads to the cavern on the ground, which keeps the underground base well ventilated, so there is no need to worry about the campfire going out or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Everyone in the guild is here: Natsu and Harpy are having fun around the campfire, Elusa and Wendy are cooking not far away, Gray is walking shirtless through the crowd, Kana is drinking with Macao and the others as always, Laxus, Gajiru and Mira seem to have formed a rock band and are performing, the diminutive Makarov and several familiar companions are singing ugly songs and dancing ugly to the music, Arzak and Biska are still playing hotly, Jett and Doriel quarrel over Lebby, and Rida in the corner paints quietly...... The smell of tobacco and alcohol filled the open field, and the drinks and food were placed on the tables in the middle of the room, and everyone had smiles on their faces, just like an underground banquet!
Aside from the different places, everything here is the same as when you were in the guild!
"This ...... What the hell is this......" Just as Rocky was stunned by what he saw, everyone noticed his arrival.
"Rocky?! Isn't this Rocky?! It's been a long time! I don't know whose exclamation caused the magicians who were still immersed in the banquet to stop their movements, and then rushed towards Rocky.
"Rocky, what's the matter with your clothes?"
"It seems that your strength has not improved at all in such a long time......
"It's rare to come here, do you want to have a drink after a long absence??"
"Anyway, how is your life in the Star Spirit Realm?" Rocky was a little overwhelmed by the crowd's reaction: "Everyone...... You ......"
"What the hell are you doing now?!"
