Chapter 1473

~6 min read 1,155 words

Seeing that Argenti actually intended to sacrifice himself, Navia, Sigewinne, and the others had no choice but to give up this opportunity to step onto a Path.

They couldn't just watch Argenti go to his death, after all.

"Then let's ask... wait, where are you going?"

Paimon watched in shock as Argenti walked toward the door.

"To prepare for a surprise attack on the Great Starcrusher Swarm King."

Argenti stood still at the doorway and looked back at Navia, Paimon, and the others:

"Perhaps it is because I eliminated the Swarm on the train."

"A large amount of gastric juice has begun to flow from the stomach walls of the Great Starcrusher Swarm King outside."

"Therefore, in terms of time, we no longer have the luxury of taking things slowly."

"Everyone, prepare to depart from here; I will create an opportunity for you."

After saying this, Argenti opened the door using the built-in button next to the train door and leaped out in a single bound.

"What?! Is the train door really that easy to open?"

Paimon exclaimed.

"Now is not the time to talk about that, look out the window!"

Clorinde said as she quickly looked toward a corner of the window.

They saw a streak of light, deeper red than the stomach of the Great Starcrusher Swarm King, flash by; the *Beauty in the World* was carrying Argenti across the horizon at high speed.

After reaching a certain distance, Argenti leaped up from the *Beauty in the World*, transforming into an aurora that pierced toward the stomach wall of the Great Starcrusher Swarm King.

The radiance carrying Argenti's ultimate spear strike was clearly captured by Clorinde, Navia, Paimon, and the others even from a great distance, until that brilliance gradually dimmed and became invisible to the naked eye.

"He... he'll be fine, right, Traveler?"

Paimon looked worriedly at Lumine behind her.

"Even if you say that, it's still..."

Boom!

Suddenly, the Astral Express trembled.

Lumine had to stop speaking and hold onto Paimon, who had been knocked over by the vibration.

"What's happening this time!"

Navia struggled to grab onto a fixture, looking around in panic.

"It seems some force is pushing the train; could it be that Argenti succeeded?"

The Knave secured herself and stared fixedly out the window.

Outside the train, the previously stationary scenery began to recede at a speed difficult to capture with the naked eye, and coupled with the jolting they felt, it was hard for the Knave not to associate it with Argenti.

More than ten seconds later, the train seemed to break through some window and returned to the silver-glowing Silver Rail.

Navia, the Knave, and the others looked toward the rear of the train after their surprise, just in time to see the wide-open mouth of the Great Starcrusher Swarm King.

【Chongyun: So... so big, is that the Great Starcrusher Swarm King?】

【Xiangling: This, this is too big, how long would it take to cook a Swarm King this size!】

【Xingqiu: As expected of Xiangling, thinking about cooking even at a time like this. But I don't think many people would want to use the Swarm King.】

【Kaeya: Even after reaching the outside world, we can only see the mouth of the Great Starcrusher Swarm King through Paimon's "eyes"; no wonder its stomach is so huge.】

【Arataki Itto: No matter how you look at it, this is too exaggerated. It's bigger than any Onikabuto.】

【Kuki Shinobu: Let's not compare it to your Onikabuto right now, Boss; there's no comparison.】

【Diluc: That Argenti's character is indeed noble enough, but did he really stay inside the Swarm King's belly?】

………………

"Although we left, I just can't bring myself to be happy."

Paimon slumped onto the table like a frostbitten eggplant.

"I just feel very conflicted."

Clorinde frowned and looked in Neuvillette's direction.

Argenti, who had boarded the train with him earlier, seemed to have truly remained in the Swarm King's stomach.

"Navia, are you feeling unwell?"

Sigewinne noticed Navia's expression and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking that Argenti is truly remarkable."

"I feel ashamed for my initial misunderstanding of the Knights of Beauty and the Order of Beauty."

Navia shook her head and said.

To be able to help others, he didn't even hesitate to face danger.

Such a style was so similar to the Spina di Rosula.

In Fontaine, many people don't understand the actions of the Spina di Rosula, and don't understand why they are willing to help others.

For the Spina di Rosula, misunderstandings similar to the one they had about Argenti earlier were not uncommon.

On the contrary, such misunderstandings occurred frequently.

To some extent, the creed of the Spina di Rosula and the creed of the Knights of Beauty had many similarities.

Realizing this, Navia only felt it was a great pity that she hadn't been able to understand Argenti better.

Unaccountably, a trace of yearning for the Knights of Beauty grew deep within her heart.

"Sigh, if only I could apologize to Argenti."

"And ask him by the way if I could also become a Knight of Beauty."

Navia sighed and whispered.

"Is Miss Navia interested in becoming a Knight of Beauty?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came over.

"Hm? Argenti's voice?"

"I must be hallucinating."

Navia shook her head.

"No, you are not hallucinating."

The Knave said.

Navia blinked and looked in the direction of the Knave's gaze.

She saw that Argenti, who had already rushed out to launch a surprise attack on the Great Starcrusher Swarm King, had somehow returned to the train.

While Navia was surprised, Neuvillette had already rushed over.

"You're still alive!"

"I clearly saw you rush out."

Neuvillette came to Argenti's side and asked in surprise.

"This is all thanks to Mr. Luo Feng."

"It was he who fished me out of the Great Starcrusher Swarm King's stomach."

"Besides that, he also fished out the *Beauty in the World*."

Argenti looked gratefully at Luo Feng, who was standing behind him.

At this moment, the *Beauty in the World* was located behind the train, following closely as it sailed forward.

"I am truly sorry; you were suppressing Phantylia, yet I still needed you to step in and help."

Argenti said.

"It's a small matter; I couldn't just watch a Knight of Beauty leave over such a trivial thing."

Luo Feng smiled, waved his hand, and looked at Paimon, Navia, and the others who had gathered around.

"Luo Feng, so you were here after all."

"By the way, when did you make your move? Why didn't I see it?"

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Luo Feng appear.

"Haha, there is surveillance inside the train, after all; I was aware of your situation here."

Luo Feng laughed.

"So you knew about what was happening here the whole time?"

"Geez, if I had known, I wouldn't have been so worried."

Paimon pouted and said.
