As a result, he walked all the way to the end of the road—a dead end—without seeing a trace of the two people. Even the breeze that had drawn him here just lingered there.
Sherry used a maze-like tactic to confuse the enemy, deliberately creating a false sense of wind to lure him into a dead end, thus buying him considerable time to escape.
Before them was a stone door that could be pushed open. Shirley and Philsa pushed it open together, revealing a brightly lit stone chamber.
The stone chamber was very spacious, about ten meters in both length and width. The light source seemed to emanate from nowhere; perhaps it was the glow of each of the stacked stone bricks.
In the center stood an oval mirror, about the height of a person, angled towards the doorway, exuding a magical aura that was quite strange.
This strange mirror is a spatial jump point created by condensing a large amount of magic.
In addition, there were many gold coins scattered around.
It is estimated that some illegal adventurers—such as thieves—came to the palace ruins in search of treasure, and reached this stone chamber through a secret passage.
The treasure here has probably been mostly stolen. As for this mirror-shaped jump point, it was likely used for their escape.
Philsa and Shirley exclaimed in surprise, "There's hope!"
“We need to hurry…” Shirley stopped mid-sentence, clutching her right chest with her hand, her expression somber, and she felt inexplicably unwell.
"What’s wrong with you?"
As they talked, Philsa also began to feel uncomfortable.
He discovered that the source of his discomfort was the emblem on his hand that had inexplicably started to glow with phosphorescence again!
Meanwhile, on the right chest of her companion Sherry, a bright green glow shone through her dark coat.
The magical flow of the atmosphere within the stone chamber underwent a dramatic change. Azure and emerald particles rose together, constantly intertwining and mixing, illuminating the entire chamber even brighter than before.
On the blank stone wall to the left of the door, a white light also emanated, attracting all the particles within the stone chamber. The particles gathered on the wall, and when they stopped moving on the stone wall, the two were stunned.
The magical elements of wind and ice formed a magnificent mural on the blank stone wall.
The figures in the painting are lifelike and full of spirit.
The painting depicts a battle in which Alphonse and the Silver Knights defeated the monster army in the Southern Realm.
The valley in the painting shines with a brilliance resembling the aurora borealis.
The enemy consists of winged demons, and their numbers are vast. Furthermore, the southern barbarians also assist the demons in their fight against the Silver.
Riding on the body of a holy dragon, Elfons raised his holy sword, directing the Silver Hands to fight together.
What caught the attention of the onlookers was a long-haired woman among the Silver Army. She wielded the power of the wind, casting wind magic as she swept across the battlefield.
For a moment, Philsa was lost in thought, and vivid yet vague memories flooded her mind.
At that moment, the ever-approaching demonic aura of fire pulled him back to reality.
Just as he was about to turn around and urge his companion on, he saw Shirley crouching down, clutching her head.
His companion's unusual behavior made him extremely anxious. He also squatted down and asked with concern, "Hey, are you alright?"
But Philsa had no idea of the pain Shirley was going through.
For Shirley, it was a nameless pain that originated from her heart, yet she couldn't pinpoint where it came from.
Ominousness, grief, and regret mingled together, raging through my heart.
My body was trembling... and all I could hear were echoes.
Deep down...
-
"Alphonse, you shouldn't have done this!"
Why does the voice you're using sound the same as mine?
I never said anything like that!
"—You don't understand me at all."
That's... Philsa... Alphonse's voice? What does he mean by saying that?
"You are not as powerful as the Royal Knights!"
Why...why would "I" say that? No! No!
"Actually, I have harbored resentment towards you ever since we met again."
Why would he say that to "me"? Why?
What's going on here...? This is a memory... This is a memory!
But where is this memory from? Whose memory is it? I want to know!
-
Sherry's heart was constantly struggling like this, constantly digging into the memories that were awakening.
Seeing this, Philsa was extremely anxious. His companion's reincarnation memories had chosen this inopportune moment to awaken, and had even caused Sherry inexplicable fear. Could it be that Sherry's reincarnation memories were all things she didn't want to recall?
He yelled into Shirley's ear, "Calm down! Don't think about it! Don't think about it!"
The enemy's presence is drawing ever closer; they're likely to break in at any moment!
This time, it was Philsa who helped her companion, and they stumbled to the mirror.
He shoved his companion violently. Shirley fell into the slanted mirror, as if she had fallen into water.
Almost simultaneously, a thunderous roar—
The stone chamber door was shattered by the enemy's fiery fists, turning into scattered stones!
The ground shook violently, and some grayish pebbles fell from the ceiling above Philsa's head.
Van burst in, glaring at Firsa.
Sherry, whose body was half-submerged in the mirror, finally came to her senses from the chaos and tried to grab her companion's hand to escape together.
But it was too late. Using the magic of fire, Fan condensed a blazing flaming spear in his hand and hurled it with force and speed, aiming it directly at the magic mirror for escape.
Ignoring his injuries, Philsa forcibly circulated his solidified magical veins, infusing his sword with magic.
To prevent the mirror that Sherry was using to escape from being destroyed, he drew his sword and cleaved the oncoming flaming spear in two.
