Chapter 1450: A Completely Changed Story
Personal memories could not compete with the ancient memories of the earth, but it just so happened that the unique individual "Mr. Rathers" existed within the Guardian's main body. Thus, in the night sky in the distance, the Language of Sublimation in the gray mist collapsed. Clearly, the Guardian's power was superior, but under the indirect influence of Siris' memories, the two sides were actually evenly matched.
And Siris herself, after briefly resisting those crazy whispers, let out a muffled groan and had to take the initiative to cut off the connection of the memory threads.
But this seemingly bold act was not without gains. She came into contact with some extraordinary information from the consciousness of the Guardian, whose appearance was her own father.
"Destruction!"
Luvia crossed Siris' shoulder and struck again with her palm, and another small half of the forest was blown into a flat ground covered with white ash. The witch in the memory manipulated by Siris borrowed the power of the earth to search for the appearance location of the Guardian's next clone.
But that was only the witch in her memory after all, and she couldn't even use the witch's secret arts. Therefore, when the Guardian appeared again unscathed and let the black mud form a hemispherical cover to surround the two, Siris had to admit that she was completely helpless.
Luvia still looked at her opponent with a serious face, quickly exchanging battlefield intelligence with "her" in her ear. In her perception, the great battle of the Thirteenth-Ring Shushis in the distance had already entered the next stage. After being briefly influenced by Siris, the Mad Guardian was still able to suppress two Thirteenth-Ring Shushis of the church by himself, so she knew she couldn't wait any longer.
She made up her mind to use her own low-ring Language of Sublimation 【May the starlight protect you, noble king of the future】. Although the purple-eyed girl had never used this power since advancing to the middle ring, she had a hunch that even if the effect of this Language of Sublimation could not be as exaggerated as Xia De's, it should be enough to face this "general situation."
【It is indeed enough.】
Her own gentle voice whispered, and "she" and she were both ready. Although Xia De had changed many things, "Luvia" also understood that it was impossible to always let Xia De do everything. "She" was not without power, and Luvia Fiochi Anate was not a weakling hiding behind a man.
So Luvia explained to Siris:
"I might be unconscious for a while in a moment, but don't worry about me, Xia De will appear soon."
Saying this, Luvia didn't even notice that a smile appeared on her face. So many things that hadn't been done in the past Sixth Era were challenged by her rather than Siris, and it was actually completed just like that. The girl hidden in Luvia's soul once again deeply realized the uniqueness of this Sixth Era.
Luvia didn't give Siris a chance to refuse at all, but just as she was about to force the use of her own power in an unprepared state in a way that was almost burning her soul, a fourth set of footsteps sounded around them.
The Guardian clone standing in the black mud seemed even more surprised than Luvia and Siris. He directly gave up continuing to besiege the two girls, and all the black mud was mobilized by him to enter the forest in the east.
The night was deep, and even Luvia, whose eyes were special, could only barely see a huge stone mirror reflecting the reflection of the Guardian's soil clone.
The black mist didn't know where it came from, completely blocking the sight of the two. All sounds and light around them began to be suppressed at this moment, and something even stranger appeared in the forest.
Luvia held Siris' hand, wanting to take the time to leave this area that had become somewhat eerie, while Siris said in surprise:
"The Guardian's power has temporarily disappeared in this area!"
The black mud remaining around them evaporated rapidly. When the black mist dissipated, the Guardian who had entered the forest to face the tall mirror was nowhere to be seen. The sound and light returned to normal, and the sound of boots stepping on the snow grew closer, until Doctor Schneider, who looked somewhat disheveled, appeared in front of them.
"Doctor?"
Luvia was probably the most surprised one here, because the doctor knew she was in Randel Valley, while Siris didn't know the man in front of her at all, so she wouldn't be surprised.
"Good evening, Anate, it's been two months, hasn't it? I hope you haven't fallen behind in your
college coursework, after all, the summer exam week is not far away, and aren't you still missing two subjects for your registered diviner exam?"
Doctor Schneider took off the hood of his robe, looking out of breath:
"I really can't imagine that such ghostly weather can still be seen in the Month of Wind. I really prefer Tobesk City. I think the reputation of Randel Valley, the City of Spring, is probably mostly boasted; this looks like deep winter."
"The weather is special this year, in previous years it would have been spring blossoms here... Doctor, why are you here? In Randel Valley?!"
Luvia couldn't help but ask, and Siris took a step back. At the same time, she looked behind the doctor, but there was nothing there.
The middle-aged doctor shrugged:
"Your caution is correct, because theoretically, I shouldn't be here right now. However, you should ask Xia De this question, not me. As for that strange stone man just now, I've already solved him."
He tossed the black stone heart he was clutching in his hand:
"This seems to be the core of that body, it's really dirty and filthy."
Saying this, he crushed the black stone heart. Of course, Doctor Schneider defeating the Ninth-Ring Guardian clone with the Sixth Ring was not because he had particularly strong power, but purely because the power of the "Stone Mirror Demon—Gothe" somewhat restrained the Guardian.
Siris also understood that this elegant middle-aged man with blue eyes was Xia De's friend, but she still didn't understand:
"The power of the Mad Earth has accumulated to a terrible degree here, sir, how are you not affected at all?"
This was of course also relying on the power of the Stone Mirror Demon, but the doctor couldn't explain it too clearly:
"For this point, you should also ask Xia De. Oh, do I need to prove my identity?"
Although Luvia was somewhat certain that the person in front of her was Bill Schneider who should have been sleeping peacefully in the psychological clinic in Tobesk, she still asked:
"If one day Xia De were to make a will, to whom would he leave his inheritance?" The doctor said without hesitation:
"Of course it's his cat, you, and Louisa... Don't look at me like that, don't I understand your affairs? I am a psychologist, best at observing people's expressions and emotional changes. Oh, and a part of it, he would probably give to Priest Augustus, let the priest donate it to the church to help orphans."
When she heard "cat," Luvia was completely certain that this was the doctor; hearing him mention herself and Dorothea made her blush a little. But regardless, Luvia breathed a sigh of relief. She asked for the fragments of the black stone heart and then handed them to Siris, who used her own miracle:
"Earth Power · Soil Memory."
Several black memory threads connected from the black stone fragments to her palm. A moment later, the stone heart completely turned into fly ash:
"The Guardian came to the ground for two reasons.
First, Miss Beias and Xia De found him in the Heart of the Earth. They have a way to reverse his madness, and Xia De gave him a very dangerous feeling, so he left the Heart of the Earth.
Then, and most importantly, we want to stop the spread of the Mad Earth, and he wants to accelerate the spread of the Mad Earth until the final irreversible Fifth Stage occurs. As long as he walks on the earth, the pollution originating from the essence of the earth will accelerate the erosion of normal soil, and if he sacrifices himself to the earth in the most ancient and primitive way at the crucial position of this earthquake center, then everything will be irreversible."
Luvia frowned, feeling that she was not surprised at all, as if she had known that such a thing would happen a long, long time ago. And hearing this information, her first reaction was actually "Since Siris is here, let her sacrifice herself."
"Oh, what am I thinking?"
Fortunately, this reaction, which seemed to originate from instinct, was suppressed by both emotion and reason. The purple-eyed girl said to Doctor Schneider, who didn't quite understand what had happened:
"Doctor, can you help us? We want to go in that direction, can you
protect us along the way?" The doctor thought for a moment:
"Xia De asked me to meet at the Night Temple."
That was the location Xia De told the doctor when he left Osenfurt Manor. At that time, he didn't know that the time key in the following time would guide him to retrace that night road, so he couldn't have imagined the current situation.
"Then why did you come here? The location is a bit off..."
The middle-aged doctor was too embarrassed to say that he got lost halfway and had just found the right direction. "The plan has changed, Xia De will also appear in a while."
Luvia continued, so the doctor nodded:
"That's good, extending a helping hand to ladies in need is something I should do. However, absolutely do not tell me what you are doing. I have a hunch that this is absolutely a very, very troublesome matter. If I get involved, with my bad luck, maybe it will lead to more accidents... Also, you must walk behind me, absolutely not come to my front."
Although this request was very strange, Luvia and Siris nodded and agreed.
So Doctor Schneider put on the hood outside his cloak again and walked in front of the girls. His hands were joined together in front of his chest, and when they slowly opened, a small black stone mirror floating and rotating slowly appeared in front of him.
That mirror reflected the whole world and also seemed to be absorbing the whole world: "Earth Power · Filthy Mirror Image."
The black mud spreading like flowing water toward the three of them separated to the left and right beneath Doctor Schneider's feet. Just like the ending of the stories that happened again and again on this land, it finally changed direction in front of Luvia. ===== CHAPTER 1451 =====
