She commanded her familiar with a whistle. A raven flew out of the forest.
Upon closer inspection, Bo Ren was terrified to see that the familiar was black.
The return of the Ink-Colored Familiar means that Midnight Slayer has forever lost a companion.
In other words—which shocked Thin Blade—Continuation Blade lost its life in the final battle against Felsa of Extreme Ice.
Midnight Slash caused the loss of a comrade forever.
3. Before leaving, Mr. St. Fess carefully instructed Philsa and Gerlu not to return to Amethyst Town after today's battle, not to complain about the local hotel, and to get away from the place as soon as possible.
When leaving, don't take the mountain trails; take another, secluded path. The teacher then gave some directions.
Less than a quarter of an hour after St. Fess left, Firsa also set off.
Before leaving, she asked her companion if she was alright, and Jielu smiled and said she could keep going.
Until dawn, the two ventured into the wilderness. It was a vast grassland, with an endless view of the night sky and the green fields on the ground.
They walked for almost half the night. Not to mention Felsa, Gelu was already exhausted and could no longer keep up.
Feeling weak all over, it seems that the inexplicable pain today has left a significant aftereffect.
She endured her exhaustion and walked for another fifteen minutes, her pace noticeably slowing down.
The slow-witted Philsa only then noticed her companion's discomfort and decided to let her rest until dawn.
He told Jelu to look around for a place to rest, and they happened to spot a sparse grove of trees in the distance.
"Let's walk a few more steps... I'm fine."
"It's too late now, let's rest first. We don't know if there are other jungles ahead, do you want to sleep on the grass without any cover?"
Philsa explained that traveling at midnight was not actually suitable. Gelu reluctantly agreed, feeling somewhat guilty.
She lit a campfire under the tree to ward off the chill of the night.
Philsa had initially planned to lean against the tree trunk and take a nap, but ultimately decided that lying down would be better. Especially for Jelu, falling asleep lying down would be much more comfortable, and she would feel more refreshed the next day.
Jelu gathered some leaves, and he spread his cloak as wide as possible on the pile of leaves to make a makeshift bed, though it was certainly not spacious enough.
"Let's sleep back to back, that might keep us warmer."
After considering for a while, Jielu nodded. This was the first time the two of them had slept so close together. In the past, when they were forced to stay in the wild, they would either endure their exhaustion and walk to a nearby town or village to make plans, or they would lean against the sides of a big tree and sleep simply to get through the night.
Philsa even took off his coat to use as a blanket, saying that sleeping on the ground without any cover would make him catch a cold.
Neither of them knew what to do tomorrow, so they decided to get some sleep first. Jielu took off her hairband; her ponytail would be inconvenient when they were back to back.
In fact, she hadn't touched her hairband in a long time, nor had she ever properly lain down, so she hadn't even combed her hair properly.
She noticed her hairband had become rough, probably because it hadn't been touched in a long time. Even without a mirror, she could clearly see how haggard she looked;
If their companions could see it, they should also be able to notice it.
Felsa had already lain down. Gerlu followed suit, turning her back to her companion and clutching her sword tightly.
The overcoat is clearly not enough to serve as a blanket for two people.
However, she could indeed feel warmth from her companions.
His breathing was even and steady; he seemed to have been longing for a good night's sleep. If none of this had happened, things would have been fine…
She was exhausted and sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind kept replaying the events of the day and the words of her companions.
It was only today that Philsa recounted to Mr. St. Fess the details of the tragedy in which he lost his companion, and he must have been in great pain recalling it.
Moreover, according to him, he dreams about it almost every night, and his eyes ache terribly whenever he dreams about it.
I wonder if Philsa is already dreaming at this moment, and if he is still dreaming of the same scene. Is he still suffering in his dream, repeatedly experiencing the tragic scene of losing Sherry?
His longing for Sherry was so intense that he conceived the idea of resurrecting her and bringing her back to the human world.
This unexpected incident—whether it was his own fault or not—Yug and the Wind Vortex Stone disappeared together, pushing the target even further away from Felsa.
He must have been anxiously worried all the time, but he wasn't good at expressing it outwardly, or perhaps he didn't want Jielu to blame herself. She hadn't known this before, otherwise she would have felt guilty long ago.
Thinking about it this way, Jelu began to wonder if her companions had actually started to hate her.
She had promised to protect the Wind Vortex Stone, but she broke her promise. Not only that, she couldn't help at all, but she also kept delaying Philsa's journey afterward.
The more Gerald thought about it, the more distressed she became, feeling that her suspicions were becoming increasingly true. King Augustine was the culprit who killed Sherry, and by that logic, Gerald herself was the culprit who was delaying the plan to resurrect Sherry.
By this time, she was quite certain that Philsa already hated her.
Anyone would feel this way, definitely. Jielu blinked, tears welling in her eyes.
However, she dared not make too much noise or sob, for fear that her companions with their backs to her would notice.
She wanted to leave now, not wanting to hold her companions back any longer. He, after all, only saw her as a burden, though he didn't say so.
Jelu was certain that he must have such thoughts in his heart.
