Let's break down the key points!
This story begins with the blind saint Thiel, who, in order to prevent a disaster, resolved to sacrifice herself and lured us to help her complete a ritual. However, after we quickly stopped and rescued her, an unexpected event inadvertently triggered a real catastrophe.
And now, I'm asking Miyuki to take me to the highest possible position and throw me directly at the polyhedron suspended in mid-air.
Without a doubt, this is also a crazy plan.
Although the purpose was to move the explosive device itself, which could cause problems, the unimaginable height, and then how to successfully move the massive target in the face of dangerous magical energy clusters, and then make a successful escape, were all interconnected challenges.
I wish I had the Pegasus that accompanied me when we were active in the mountains.
Although the environment is similar, the current situation feels more like a delusion of expecting a divine intervention.
Fortunately, we were in an abandoned house near the inner wall. If we just need to go up and down a few more times on the roof and then move forward quickly by using the wall for leverage as before, we will reach our ideal location in less than five seconds.
But that's not enough.
Regardless of the exact height of the mountain shell that looms over everyone's heads, in order to illuminate the entire city, the height of the polyhedron suspended in mid-air is more than twice the basic height of the buildings in the city, and it is a distant place that is beyond the reach of human jumping ability.
Miyuki and I are equally aware of these things, but even so, all we can do now is try.
Then, just as I was about to climb to the top of the inner wall, I noticed another snow-white figure chasing closely from the pillar of fire, circling around it.
It's Alice.
Without needing any further words, the female knight, carrying one in each hand, swiftly and gracefully climbed to the top of the city wall. After setting them down, she grabbed Miyuki with a cheerful yet unhurried manner, and just as Miyuki stepped on the wall and exerted force, she tossed her upwards at the perfect moment.
Thanks to her, our upward momentum, which was about to stop, has taken another step closer, and we have quickly soared to a height that was completely unexpected before.
And that's not all.
Almost at the same time as we were about to descend, thanks to its superb strength and jumping ability, the snow-white figure, which started later, sped past us, like a relay race, cleanly handing over to Shen Xue, and then kicked hard into the air.
A ring of air swept past me, cool and refreshing. I felt a tightness in my chest and abdomen, which were being hugged around the waist. It was probably because the ascent was too rapid, making me feel nauseous.
However, this slight stuffiness was quickly replaced by the warm touch transmitted from the point of contact with the arm.
It really does move upwards like a rabbit.
I glanced back at Alice's face. Her smiling owner had just lowered her head and was winking at me happily. Without pausing, she sprinted forward again.
This is a gesture that conveys trust effortlessly without needing to be explicitly stated.
Or, to put it another way, let's get to work now and listen to the explanation later.
Although I don't know exactly how she knew my plans, this feeling of trust made me feel very comfortable.
A slightly larger, light red ball of fluff flapped its wings and had been trailing behind us ever since. Meanwhile, circles of white clouds gathered beneath our feet. Upon closer inspection, we realized that Alice was using her breath to create footholds as she ascended, which was how she was able to keep moving forward.
The vast distance rapidly shortened in an unrealistic state, but the nearby pillar of fire, like a venomous snake chasing its prey, showed no sign of wavering or letting go.
Is it really possible to catch up?
Although I really wanted to ask that question, I didn't want to say anything discouraging that would break the atmosphere at this moment, and I didn't have the luxury of asking. In the end, I could only turn my head and look at the polyhedron that was getting closer and closer with a little worry.
I try to do what I can.
Put the magic stone fragments into your mouth and chew them up as quickly as possible, dismantling them to contain rather than absorb magic power. Then extract an appropriate amount from them, transforming it into the form of wind, and use it to provide support from behind.
Alice exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! This! It feels like the speed has suddenly increased! It's like we're about to fly into the sky. Master is really smart!"
Shutting up is just a very common way to speed things up, but the way you put it makes it sound so childish.
Turning my head, I could only see that mocking smile. I held my breath and didn't answer, focusing only on the output of force, but then I noticed some details.
Perhaps influenced by the ever-rising pillars of fire nearby, the wings I had pulled from my hands, imagined to be woven by the wind, gradually began to burn with a touch of golden-red at their edges, like clouds illuminated by the evening glow, with only the very edges tinged with a light layer, while the rest remained invisible and transparent.
It reminds me a bit of Fei Fei's wings.
Although it's just a connection between color and bird feathers, this aspect might still be worth learning from.
Birds are the best at flying in the air.
Hollow bones, light and agile feathers, and a body that automatically adjusts to a spindle shape for flight.
Suddenly I realized something and quickly called out, "Alice, would it be convenient to change positions?"
Oh wait, we're already moving faster than the speed of sound, my voice won't reach Alice's ears. Maybe we need to find another way to communicate...
