“Woo…”
When Chtholly opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.
“Huh…”
Sitting up, the girl yawned and then sighed.
Yesterday was really tough...
Feeling the faint pain in her body, Chtholly couldn't help but frown. Although she did meditate according to Fang Zheng's instructions yesterday, to be honest, Chtholly didn't feel any changes. Instead, just as she thought, she was exhausted all over. If she continued like this, would she really be able to catch up with the battle in two days?
At this moment, somehow, Chtholly suddenly recalled the scene from yesterday, that strange feeling, and the strange sound she made...
“Aaaaaaaah!!”
The girl hugged the pillow in shame and anger to cover her face, while her feet kept stomping on the floor.
How could I make such a sound! And in front of other people! And show such an expression! It's so embarrassing! It's so embarrassing!
If possible, Chtholly really wanted to hit herself with a stick and forget everything that happened yesterday. But unfortunately... this was impossible.
"Ah, Cordelia! You're awake!"
Perhaps they heard Chtholly's cry, and soon two little girls pushed open the door and rushed in, greeting her with a smile.
"How are you? Are you feeling well? You screamed so strangely yesterday..."
“Wa ...
Hearing the little girl in front of her bring up her dark history again, Chtholly immediately squatted down with her head in her hands in shame and anger. She had finally forced herself to forget about this matter, but now that she heard it again, Chtholly remembered that her screams yesterday were heard by everyone! !
That's right.
Thinking of this, Chtholly's eyes lit up.
"Where is he?"
"Him? Do you mean Brother Fang Zheng?"
Hearing Chtholly's question, the girl with short yellow hair hesitated a little, not knowing whether to answer. The girl with long pink hair beside her raised her hand happily.
"He's sleeping with Nephrine!"
“…”
At this moment, Cordelia's expression suddenly changed.
At the same time, Fang Zheng was lying on the sofa in the library, flipping through the materials in front of him.
"Humans killed the Star God and took her body to a certain city... Couldn't these damn guys record it in more detail? But then again, even if they recorded the exact address, it wouldn't be possible to find it. After all, it's been five hundred years, and the world has changed a lot..."
Fang Zheng and Nephrine stayed in the library for a night. The only thing they gained was that they learned from the "official records" that the three gods of the land were indeed killed, and the last star god was also killed by humans, and her body was placed in one of the human cities. Unfortunately, the record ended there, because not long after that, the seal was lifted, the beast tide broke out, and humans perished.
In a way, this is self-inflicted.
They killed their Creator, and therefore they must be punished.
This sentence is quite suitable to be placed in the Bible or some religious text.
“Hmm…”
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking of this, he heard a low groan from his chest. He lowered his head and saw that Nephrine was curled up like a cat, sleeping on Fang Zheng's body.
A cute little kitten.
Fang Zheng reached out and touched Nephrine's little head. At the same time, he also noticed the resentful gaze coming from the crack in the door.
"Good morning, Chtholly."
“…”
After hearing Fang Zheng calling out her name, Chtholly, who had been staring at him through the crack in the door, walked into the room helplessly and closed the door.
"Good morning, what are you doing?"
Chtholly's voice was a little louder, and it woke up Nephren who was sleeping soundly. She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and greeted Chtholly.
"Investigate some information about the Star God, but unfortunately the results are not great."
"Really..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Chtholly nodded. She didn't care about the Star God. To Chtholly, they were all antiques from five hundred years ago. At the moment, what she cared about most was... the battle with the beast.
"In two days, we will begin to fight the beast. Can you adjust your body before then?"
"Of course not, are you dreaming?"
Fang Zheng glanced at Chtholly unhappily.
"This is a long process. To be honest, I wanted to adjust your body directly, but I don't have the equipment at hand at the moment."
"But in this case, how will we fight? Can we only rely on you?"
Although Fang Zheng said that he would protect himself and others, as a golden fairy and a fairy soldier, Chtholly obviously did not like staying in the rear. They had always been fighting on the front line.
"No, you will also participate in the battle."
"But if we continue like this, our bodies won't be able to adjust to the best state for fighting, and there will be problems."
Hearing this, Chtholly became even more worried. Magic poisoning would not only cause magic to settle in their muscles, but would also affect their movements and reactions. More importantly, if they burned too much magic in battle, they might die. Chtholly was not afraid of death, but she could not accept this meaningless death.
"Don't worry."
Fang Zheng was obviously prepared for this.
"I will prepare new weapons for you."
"New weapons?"
At this time, Nephrine also turned her head curiously and looked at Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"Yes, if I guess correctly, the reason why only you golden fairies can defeat the beast is because the beast itself is very powerful. If you don't rely on powerful magic attacks, you can't hurt it, right?"
"That's right..."
"To put it simply, only a powerful enough attack can destroy the beast. In this case, it is enough to use weapons that can burst out powerful attack power."
"……?"
Hearing this, Nephrine and Chtholly looked at each other curiously, not quite understanding what Fang Zheng meant, and Fang Zheng did not say anything more.
"You will know when the time comes."
He just said this and ended the small talk.
In the next two days, Chtholly, Nephrine and Essiah continued to meditate and exercise according to Fang Zheng's method, and every night Fang Zheng would use his power to adjust their magic channels. Of course, there were inevitably various strange noises, but gradually, Fang Zheng found that the three people seemed to have responded to this "adjustment".
For example, Nephren seemed to be gradually beginning to "enjoy" this kind of adjustment, and her cries became more lyrical with each adjustment, while Aesiya was still "Hahaha", "No", "That's weird" - this is also normal, after all, some people are naturally ticklish.
On the contrary, Fang Zheng found Chtholly's reaction very interesting. This girl seemed to have some M tendencies. When Fang Zheng adjusted her magic channel, Chtholly also showed an expression of feeling comfortable, but perhaps because of her self-esteem or stubbornness, even if she showed this feeling, she forced herself not to make a sound.
To put it simply, "even if you say no with your mouth, your body is still honest."
Therefore, every time he made adjustments to Chtholly, that was when Fang Zheng had the most fun.
After all, it was really interesting to see Chtholly trying to hold it in while showing a stubborn expression of "It's no big deal, I won't...ah".
Finally, on the morning of the third day, the four boarded the airship again.
"Is it really okay? I'm not feeling very well right now."
Looking at the floating island not far away, Chtholly was still somewhat worried. Although after three days of training, she had found that this adjustment was indeed good for her body. For example, the accumulation of magic power became less, and the speed of relieving fatigue was faster. But this did not make her current situation better. Frankly speaking, if she went to fight in this situation, no one knew what would happen.
"Don't worry, I'm ready, follow me."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng led the three people to the deck. At this moment, the airship was gradually approaching the floating island. At this moment, the battle had already begun. On the edge of the floating island, a group of beasts could be seen twisting their bodies and attacking the town.
"Okay, here are your weapons."
Fang Zheng took a look at the battle in the distance, then reached out and grabbed something. Then the three of them saw Fang Zheng grabbing a huge, pitch-black... block of iron from the void.
"What's this?"
"M560 Hydra missile launcher."
Fang Zheng patted the huge block of iron in his hand and handed it to Aiseya.
"This thing is very easy to use. Just aim at the target, it will automatically lock on, and then you can pull the trigger."
"Just, that's it...so this is a...gun?"
Aiseya took the strange weapon called "Hydra" with doubt and asked. The technological level of this world is very low, but there are already long-range attack weapons such as muskets, so the three of them are not unfamiliar with it, at least... they know how to use it.
"The launcher... You can think of it as a gun, but it's completely different from the toys in your world."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out another big, black and thick piece of iron and handed it to Chtholly.
"This is??"
"M920 Cain Portable Power Accelerator. Be careful. One shot from this thing could destroy half the town. Don't aim it at the city!"
"Is it so terrible?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Chtholly took a deep breath.
"You are not lying to me!"
"You'll know when you use it...Nephren!"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out the third big, black and thick one.
"This is a black hole generator. It can create a black hole to control the enemy... It's just right. Let's treat it as a real combat exercise. Follow me!"
At this moment, the beast had already landed on the island. At the same time, Fang Zheng waved his hand and quickly left the deck of the airship with the three of them and flew towards the battlefield.
When the four arrived at the battlefield, there were already hundreds of the sixth beasts that had rushed onto the floating island and were heading towards the town.
"Nephren, you go first and fire over there!"
"OK."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nephren put her holy sword behind her back, then raised the black hole generator in her hand and pulled the trigger at the herd of beasts in front.
The next moment, an almost invisible dot shot out from the muzzle and flew towards the center of the group of beasts. It then suddenly expanded and enlarged, turning into a dark, rotating sphere.
Then, a scene that surprised everyone happened.
Around the dark sphere, the beasts that were originally moving forward seemed to be bound by invisible shackles. Their huge bodies floated up and began to slowly fly towards the black round hole. Faced with this scene, the beasts were obviously at a loss. They desperately tried to break free, but to no avail.
“How is this done?”
Chtholly's eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't imagine that a black ball that looked only the size of a ball could actually restrain the movements of these monsters?!
“Chtholly, fire…!”
But before Chtholly could think more, Fang Zheng gave the order again. This time, Chtholly calmed down immediately. Although she used the holy sword, she had also learned how to use a musket. Although this weapon was a little different, the basic style was similar. Therefore, Chtholly raised the "Cain" in her hand and pulled the trigger at the group of beasts trapped by the black hole.
The next moment, a shining light suddenly appeared, causing Chtholly and the other three to involuntarily turn their heads away and close their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar followed.
“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”
It was like the roar of thunder, and even in the sky, one could hear this soul-stirring sound. After a while, the light faded, and the three of them turned around. When they looked at the battlefield again, the scene before them made them gasp.
Before their eyes, the beasts that were just trapped by the black hole had completely disappeared. Everything within a radius of dozens of meters turned to ashes, and even a shocking pit appeared on the floating island.
“This…this…”
Chtholly's fingers trembled as she tightly grasped the strange weapon in her hand. If she had doubts about the power of this weapon before, now she no longer had any doubts.
"What a terrible weapon..."
At this moment, Nephren also sighed in a low voice. With just that one attack, they had killed nearly fifty or sixty beasts. On normal days, even if the three of them attacked together, it would take a full hour to finish it off.
“——!!”
At this moment, the beast also discovered the threatening target that was attacking it in the sky. Soon, several tentacles flew up and rushed towards the four people.
"Aiseya, aim at the tentacles and fire immediately after the automatic lock is completed."
“Is that so…?”
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Esiya also hurriedly raised the Hydra missile launcher in her hand, and immediately pulled the trigger when she heard the "beep" sound. Then she saw more than a dozen flaming, black objects flying out of it and flying towards the tentacles.
Facing the attack of Esiya, the tentacles also tried to dodge. But the strange black thing seemed to have glasses, and even though the tentacles chose to dodge from a distance, they still chased after it like hungry wolves seeing their prey.
Immediately afterwards, a series of flames and explosions sounded, completely engulfing the tentacles in front of them and reducing them to ashes.
“See, it’s that simple.”
It was only at this time that Fang Zheng clapped his hands.
“That’s the power of technology.”
