Chapter 1775

~8 min read 1,556 words

Arlecchino frowned tightly and assumed a combat stance.

Hearing this, Clorinde, Sigewinne, Collei, and the others gripped their weapons tighter.

However, it was as if there was a peculiar ability in the surroundings affecting the perception of Arlecchino, Clorinde, and the others; although everyone could sense something around them, they had no way to pinpoint the specific location of this thing.

Just at this moment, the ceiling suddenly cracked open, and a creature with hideous sharp claws emerged from the crack.

【Arataki Itto: Damn, this guy suddenly appearing scared the hell out of me!】

【Dehya: It really is a terrifying creature, much scarier than the eerie Dreamjolt Troupe members everyone encountered before.】

【Amber: Could it be that this creature is also a Dreamjolt Troupe member that hasn't been tamed by The Family?】

【Eula: A creature without any aesthetic sense at all, but rather a hideous appearance. Even if it were tamed by The Family, it couldn't serve as a Dreamjolt Troupe member to serve Dreamseekers.】

【Kaeya: And this thing looks very dangerous; I imagine it's not an existence that is easily tamed.】

"The exact same eyes as in the television, so this is the enemy?"

Lumine raised her single-handed sword and pointed it at the "monster" in the sky, the Trailblazing power on her body beginning to steam incessantly.

Stelle felt Lumine's Trailblazing power and, as if unwilling to lose, took out her baseball bat and condensed her Trailblazing power.

Lumine saw the battle-ready Stelle, and a doting smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

However, the next moment, the smile on her face was replaced by astonishment.

Stelle, Lumine, and others who had stepped onto a Path took the initiative to swing their weapons at the "monster" in the sky.

The powerful attack landed on the "monster," actually blowing it directly into purple-black mist.

Its fragility could even be compared to paper or glass.

Just when Lumine, Stelle, and the others were wondering why a "monster" with such a terrifying appearance would be even less capable of a blow than some of the strange Dreamjolt Troupe members before, Firefly's exclamation pulled everyone's gaze toward the back.

They saw Firefly's shadow, reflected by the strong light, suddenly stretch, and the "monster" that should have been shattered emerged from the shadow, directly piercing Firefly's body with sharp claws.

Paimon: "What?!"

Collei: "How could this be!"

Venti: "Hey, hey, this joke isn't funny at all!"

Sigewinne raised the bow and arrow in her hand and pointed it at the "monster" flying into the air with Firefly's body, her expression quite bad.

But because Firefly was in the "monster's" hands, she didn't dare to shoot the arrow on her bow casually.

Stelle, Lumine, Arlecchino, and the others, as well as Misha, quickly pounced toward the "monster" after reacting.

The "monster" saw this and casually threw Firefly's body, which had been pierced by it, toward Stelle, Lumine, Arlecchino, and the others. The few had to turn around to catch Firefly, who appeared to have been severely injured, and in the end, only Misha pounced on the "monster."

Just when the group intended to regroup and leave the "monster" behind, it directly escaped into the void behind it with Misha, disappearing before everyone's eyes, leaving behind Stelle, Lumine, and the others who had swung their weapons at empty air.

【Furina: What's the situation? How did it become like this in the blink of an eye?】

【Navia: Miss Firefly was injured, and that Misha was also taken away?】

【Tartaglia: Hiss, what happened in these few seconds is even more surprising than what happened in the previous tens of minutes. Is that monster that strong? It actually severely injured Firefly the moment it appeared!】

【Morax: Generally speaking, the reason why this situation occurred is because this "monster's" stealth ability is very strong; it actually managed to hide in a person's shadow.】

【Mavuika: If I'm not mistaken, the one that appeared on the ceiling earlier was also just an illusion of it, and its purpose was to attract the attention of Venti and the others?】

【Mualani: If that's really the case, then this monster is too cunning. Oh no, are the others in danger?】

【Yae Miko: Its ability has already been demonstrated once. If its strength doesn't exceed Venti, Arlecchino, and them by too much, even if it appears again, it shouldn't be that easy to succeed.】

【Diluc: The surrounding televisions have recovered; does this mean it has left?】

【Tartaglia: If that's really the case, that Misha boy is probably in bad shape.】

【Dottore: Will he really be in bad shape? What if that boy is actually in cahoots with that monster? After all, we didn't see the monster pierce his body.】

【Wriothesley: Misha's matter is useless to think about now. What's important now is the situation with Miss Firefly, and... Sigewinne's situation.】

Firefly helped Sigewinne before, and Wriothesley, who was familiar with Sigewinne, could naturally see how grateful Sigewinne was to Firefly.

If something really happened to Firefly, or if Sigewinne couldn't save her, one could imagine what a blow this would be to Sigewinne.

When treating Robin, Sigewinne's will was so strong that it could even touch Luo Feng's "blessing," thereby stepping onto the Path of Abundance.

This time, Sigewinne, who had already obtained the Path of Abundance, would only have a stronger will to help Firefly.

It would be fine if she could be saved, but if she couldn't... Wriothesley couldn't imagine whether Sigewinne could walk out of it.

………………

"Damn, it actually ran!"

Lumine held her sword and remained vigilant, turning back to look at Stelle, who was supporting Firefly, and asked:

"Stelle, is she okay?"

Stelle frowned tightly, looking at the huge wound piercing Firefly's abdomen; no matter what, she couldn't say the words "she's okay."

"It's exactly the same as the wound on Robin's body earlier."

Paimon flew over worriedly. She wanted to help, but didn't know what to do.

"Let me do it. I will definitely heal Miss Firefly's wounds."

Sigewinne was enveloped in emerald-green light from head to toe.

It was as if she had walked further on the Path of Abundance.

But Sigewinne had no time to care about this now. Looking at the familiar wound on Firefly, she used all her Abundance power to treat Firefly's injury.

"Yaoshi, Aeon of Abundance, please, let me heal Miss Firefly."

Sigewinne prayed silently in her heart, and then Sigewinne was pleasantly surprised to find that the wound on Firefly's abdomen was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if the Aeon of Abundance had responded to her call.

"Great!"

Sigewinne looked up at Firefly's cheek and said happily:

"Miss Firefly, please rest assured, I can heal your wounds."

Firefly opened her eyes tiredly and looked at Sigewinne: "Thank you, but no need!"

"Eh? Why?!"

Sigewinne was puzzled.

Firefly didn't answer Sigewinne, as if racing against time, she looked at Stelle, who was supporting her: "I'm... sor... ry!"

As her voice fell, Firefly's body, which had already been restored by Sigewinne, suddenly shattered, turning into Memory Zone bubbles and flowing away.

【Arataki Itto: It... it's gone?! And this situation, how is it so similar to Robin's situation?】

【Kuki Shinobu: The wound of the abdomen being pierced is very similar, and the situation of the body shattering into Memory Bubbles is also very similar. Could it be that this monster is actually the same murderer who killed Robin?】

【Kaveh: It's not that there's no such possibility!】

【Dehya: If that's the case, then Miss Firefly disappearing here is not simply returning to the Reverie Hotel in the real world, but the whole person is gone?!】

【Candace: Real death... could it be that this monster is an existence that brings real death to the Dreamseekers in the dream?!】

【Tartaglia: So after searching for a long time, everyone really found clues to Robin's murder case here?】

【Wriothesley: But the price is Miss Firefly's death, and also Sigewinne's...】

【Charlotte: Oh no, Miss Sigewinne is completely stunned. She wouldn't be thinking of doing something stupid, would she?!】

Even through the screen, everyone could see Sigewinne's completely stunned face.

It was as if at this moment, all light and color had disappeared from Sigewinne.

This was indeed the case. Seeing Firefly shatter before her eyes, Sigewinne only felt that the entire world had turned black and white in an instant.

【Yae Miko: At this time, the only one who can help Firefly is probably Lord Luo Feng.】

【Tartaglia: Since Miss Firefly and Stelle are close, perhaps Lord Luo Feng would be willing to save her?】

【Wriothesley: This way, it could also help Sigewinne.】

………………

"The power of the Abundance, is it really that useless?"

Sigewinne slowly raised her hands and muttered as if in a dream.

"Sigewinne, are you okay?"

Clorinde walked to Sigewinne's side and asked with a worried expression.

"Ye... yeah, are you okay?"

Collei looked at Sigewinne nervously and asked.

Sigewinne didn't seem to hear the words of Clorinde and Collei at all.

It should be said that the voice of anyone present couldn't enter Sigewinne's ears at this moment.

Even Paimon, who was noisily suggesting to everyone to call Luo Feng.

Slowly, slowly, the black and white of the world in Sigewinne's eyes slowly expanded, and even spread to her own body. ===== CHAPTER 1776 =====
