Chapter 185

The entire space was very dim, and almost no light could be seen, but Nagi Sanzenin could imagine that Maria's condition must be very bad at this moment.

A flash of fire suddenly appeared in the dark space, illuminating the faces of Maria and Nagi Sanzenin.

Another person had appeared in the narrow, dark space.

The newcomer saw at a glance that Maria had reached her limit; he immediately grabbed Maria with one hand and Nagi Sanzenin with the other, disappearing from this space with a flash of fire.

This space that had lost the support of elemental power was also crushed in an instant.

Above the iceberg, the fire brought the three of them out of the crisis.

"Hoo..."

Ren Amamiya, who had brought Nagi Sanzenin and Maria out of the crisis, slowly let out a breath.

It was fortunate that he checked the problem with Nagi Sanzenin and Miss Maria first, otherwise they really wouldn't have lasted half a minute.

Ren Amamiya was once again glad for his own intuition.

"Ugh..."

The whimpering sound brought Ren Amamiya back to his senses; he carefully stabilized Miss Maria, whom he was holding with his right hand, let her lean on him, used the Soul Soother's ability to stabilize her emotions first, and then injected some spirituality into her body to help her recover some of her dried-up elemental power.

The Vision began to regain its luster with the injection of spirituality, and elemental power began to be converted bit by bit, starting to irrigate Maria's exhausted body again.

"Hoo~"

Maria's breathing gradually became stable, and her complexion regained some color.

Her eyes could already open; seeing Ren Amamiya's magnified face, she was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems I waited."

"Mm."

"You've worked hard. How does it feel to squeeze the Vision?"

Maria recalled the feeling of constantly squeezing the Vision to draw elemental power just now, and that bad memory was immediately reflected on her face.

"Very terrible."

"It's like constantly squeezing water out of a basin that has no water left, a feeling like wanting to melt the basin along with it."

"Well, any kind of power is squeezed like that."

Ren Amamiya chuckled; he understood this feeling of Maria's too well. Spirituality was the same, even more so than elemental power.

Perhaps because this laugh also affected Maria, a smile also hung on her face.

Subsequently, Maria slowly turned her perspective to look at this area that had been covered by ice and snow.

"Miss Sigong really went too far."

Ren Amamiya didn't think it was going too far.

"After all, this is what I let her release at will."

"On one hand, this is to test the power that Hayasaka's different dimension can withstand; on the other hand, it is to let Sigong release all her power so she can be clear about the limit of her ability at the current stage."

But following that, he was also slightly distressed.

"However, I should have reminded her to try not to release it on the island, but rather on the edge of the island, in the area close to the sea."

"Even if a situation like this happens over there, it can be less affected, not like it is now."

After resting for a while, Ren Amamiya looked at Nagi Sanzenin, who had also caught her breath.

"Sanzenin, are you okay now?"

"I'm fine, it was always... Maria holding on."

Looking at her lips that she was biting slightly hard, Ren Amamiya could feel her helplessness.

He smiled and placed his hand on Nagi Sanzenin's head.

"Miss Maria is fine, don't blame yourself for your helplessness."

"Just keep getting stronger slowly in the future."

"...Mm."

Reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, Nagi Sanzenin felt better.

"Sanzenin, you help Miss Maria here; I still need to go find Sigong and the others. I don't know what state they are in now."

Ren Amamiya was actually quite worried about the situation over there.

Nagi Sanzenin nodded slightly and came to Maria's side to help her instead of Ren Amamiya.

"You guys rest here; I'll come back soon after I confirm the situation over there."

"Mm."

Seeing Nagi Sanzenin's well-behaved appearance, Ren Amamiya felt much more at ease.

He immediately turned into a flash of fire and disappeared without a trace in front of the two.

Through divination, Ren Amamiya had already confirmed the location of Sigong and the other two, and after several consecutive fire jumps, he arrived at the scene.

Upon arriving, Kaguya Sigong, Ai Hayasaka, and Chika Fujiwara had all clearly fainted.

Ren Amamiya rushed over quickly and checked Chika Fujiwara first.

"Mm, she just fainted from excessive shock."

Through spiritual vision, almost no physical damage could be seen, only some fading of color in the head area of the etheric body.

Having confirmed this, Ren Amamiya also relaxed a bit.

Among the three, Chika Fujiwara had the weakest body; if even Chika Fujiwara only fainted, then Kaguya Sigong and Ai Hayasaka were likely fine.

He went to check Ai Hayasaka.

She also had some color fading in the head area of her etheric body; a simple inference was that she had fainted from the shock just like Chika Fujiwara.

However, compared to Chika Fujiwara, Ai Hayasaka's spiritual body had also suffered some damage.

"It seems that when the different dimension world of the Door-Door Fruit exceeds its limit, it will also affect the user of the Door-Door Fruit's ability."

"A certain shock to the spiritual body, plus the fainting caused by the shock; a double hit."

"Soothe, soothe, stabilize the state of the spiritual body first."

Watching the expression on Ai Hayasaka's face relax bit by bit as her spirit was soothed, Ren Amamiya once again sighed:

The extraordinary characteristics of a Soul Soother are really useful!

He placed Ai Hayasaka next to Chika Fujiwara and went to check Kaguya Sigong's condition.

At this moment, Kaguya Sigong had also completely fainted on the ice.

Just like the previous two, there was no big problem; it was just fainting caused by excessive shock.

"The different dimension created by the Door-Door Fruit's ability is indeed not particularly omnipotent."

Actually, thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

If the Door-Door Fruit's ability could really easily trap people in that different dimension, then just the Door-Door Fruit ability alone could pull everyone in the entire pirate world in.

It is normal that the inside of the different dimension cannot withstand too much pressure.

However, Ren Amamiya looked down at Kaguya Sigong, whom he had picked up.

"The state of the spiritual body is in a withered state; she completely released everything she could do at the current stage."

"Now Sigong really hasn't been able to fully exert the Ice-Ice Fruit, but it's only when she reached the limit of Sigong's current stage that she encountered a situation where she couldn't withstand it."

"The Door-Door Fruit can still support the user to trap people inside."

"It's just that it still needs to further develop the Door-Door Fruit's ability, otherwise it can only trap those weaker than oneself."

Thinking to this point, Ren Amamiya turned into a flash of fire while holding Kaguya Sigong.

He couldn't stay here for the time being.

He needed to place people in a safe place first, and then there were others who needed to be brought back one by one.

At the entrance of the island, a flash of fire greeted the gazes of the three people who were waiting for the result.

"Lord Amamiya."

Isumi Saginomiya immediately greeted him, and the worry on her face was visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, she had completely lost the calmness she had just now.

"Don't worry, both Sanzenin and Miss Maria are safe."

Ren Amamiya gave Isumi Saginomiya an answer that put her at ease.

This made Isumi Saginomiya slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
