Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 87 87. Power

Lycia grabbed the chain barely with one hand, and Selene also fell into the sea.

"Summon!" Licia yelled, but Teacher Lier couldn't take care of herself, let alone come to help her. She pinned all her hopes on whether she could summon the black knight and undead horse.

Nothing happened, nothing appeared.

Licia started to panic. Although her hand could last long enough, the 'Reaper' had already raised the scythe.

Even a hexagram doesn't work.

Licia let go of her hand when the cold blade touched the back of her hand.

The body fell downward like a straight line.

"Power..." The strange words she saw in the book appeared in front of her eyes, and she read them slowly.

Suddenly, a membrane wing spread out from her back, and the falling posture stopped.

The wind blew its wings and carried Licia upwards.

"Selene!" The silver thorn ring rolled up a drop of water, pushed away the mist, and came straight towards Licia.

'This is my thing, and this is my strength! 'Licia finally had this clear understanding.

The hot book on his chest came out and opened the pages.

Licia saw the other two words at a glance.

"Judgment!" She read out these two words in a language she didn't know.

"Judgment!" Several voices followed Licia to say these two words.

A light penetrated the body of 'Reaper'.

Turn him into dust and blow him into the air.

Licia also landed on the bridge again, and the membrane wings were retracted into the skin.

The book fell into her hands.

The fog on the bridge has been blown away.

Ms. Ke Lier stood up straight while holding the railing. She looked in the direction of the Barbaryzi area, and she could already see the scene on the other side clearly.

Licia was reading the book with two extra words, and she didn't know if she could learn two more words from the book every time her life was on the line.

But she probably understood that the words in this book, every sentence has ancient power, and they are not ordinary unknown words.

"Licia, what is the power of your emblem?" Lier was very curious about Licia's expression just now. After all, in the Thorn Empire, no one can have multiple abilities at the same time.

Licia shook her head, pretending not to know.

"What language did you speak just now?" Lier continued to ask, as if she didn't see Licia flipping through the book in her hand.

Lycia put the thin booklet back on her chest. "I don't know, it's just a language I suddenly learned.

*

In the cold and damp cave, a man wearing a black rag robe opened his eyes and covered his chest. The clear pain of the Judgment Blade spread throughout his body.

"Could it be that Kaguya Knight is not dead yet?"

*

After the Grim Reaper carrying the scythe was resolved, walking on the Holy War Bridge was just a test of endurance and jumping skills.

After the fog dissipated, the line of sight became clearer, and the places that hadn't been carefully observed before also came into Licia's field of vision.

She discovers many strange things along the way.

There seemed to be many bullet holes in the bridge plate, yes, she definitely recognized it, these were the marks made by the bullets.

Could it be that the people from the Eye of the Dead Sea have already arrived.

However, judging from the bullet marks, it should have passed some years.

'Could it be that a man with a gun on the other side of the Eye of the Dead Sea came so long ago? '

But why after the two cultures came together, there was no trace of machinery and steam left on this side of the Thorn Empire.

Licia could only keep the question in her mind for the time being.

The closer you get to the other end of the bridge, the more you can see that there is no one at the end of the bridge on the Babarici side, and it is desolate everywhere.

There must be something wrong with the Barbaryzi area.

Licia glanced at Ke Lier, who also looked blank.

"I remember it was written in the travel notes that after getting off the bridge, there will be many people setting up stalls." Licia said that her mind was muddled, and she had been walking on the cold bridge for too long without a rest.

"Indeed it is," Carrie said.

The entire Barbaryzi area is affected by the Dafa Circle, and the climate is very uninhabitable.

Moreover, the entire Barbaric area is almost barren of grass, only the Gobi desert and the jagged mountain walls.

The places where small towns can be built are usually under cliffs or in caves.

"However, let's go to the nearest small town first. If there are no people there, the whole Barbary is probably deserted." Ke Lier pointed to the east direction with her finger.

She only asked Lizia a few words about her abilities on the bridge, but after arriving in the Barbaric region, her attention seemed to be completely out of Lizia.

Although the two of them were walking towards the route pointed by Ke Lier, Ke Lier kept looking towards the southeast direction, the center of the Great Dharma Formation, which was the location of the Ring of Fear.

When walking to a quarter of the distance, Lizia still held back her physical exhaustion and did not use the few speed circles, and kept walking hard on the road with the tireless teacher Ke Lier.

However, just a second before he finished making up his mind to save the magic circle, hot red rain fell from the sky.

"The influence of the Ring of Palaka should have already begun." Keriel applied waterproof potion on her and Licia's backpacks. "Hurry up and get to the town, or you don't know what will happen to the weather later."

Licia glanced at the scalding rainwater dripping on the palm of her hand, it was a transparent red drop. "Understood, it seems that we still have to use the speed circle."

The two arrived at a town protected by a natural cliff as quickly as possible.

"I feel like the skin on the back of my hand is about to be scalded." As soon as she entered the range covered by the cliff, Licia closed the magic circle.

Then looked around.

This should be regarded as the fringe area of ​​the small town, and the small houses made of stones have been dilapidated.

Licia and Coril walked all the way to the center. From the weathering of the buildings, one can see the evolution process of the entire town shrinking in size.

Finally, after walking through a guardian circle, I saw someone.

"New here? Where are you from?" Soon there were people gathered, most of them carrying a huge brown backpack with some shovels and mining hammers and pry bars strapped to them.

The chirping was very noisy.

"Why are you surprised?" Licia asked a young man who didn't look aggressive. "Could it be that no one has come over recently?"

The young man grabbed the bag in his backpack and shook it. "Yes, almost no one has ever come in, and no one else has ever gone out. There are terrible strange beasts outside. Anyone who goes out will inevitably die."

He looked Licia and Carrie up and down. "But you seem to be unscathed."

"Yes, because we didn't encounter anything along the way." Licia glanced at the others.

Then almost everyone had a 20.00% base favorability.

"Excuse me, can you tell us which tavern can take a break now." Licia's glance made more than half of the people turn their heads away in embarrassment.

The young miner casts a longing glance outside. "Could it be that the tide of alien beasts has subsided now?" He had only been here for a short time, and he was trapped here without digging a few pieces of mine. "Pub, I only know one tavern. Go straight along this road, then turn right, the place where you see the most people is the tavern, but that place is not suitable for rest."

It seems that there is no resting hotel above the tavern, but there should be a resting hotel near the tavern.

"I'm going to the tavern, why don't you go to the hotel next door to rest for a while before coming down to eat?" Ke Lier suggested, she was still not tired at all.

Licia touched her nose, but luckily she didn't have a nosebleed from overwork.

Most of the beds in this kind of hotel are shared bunks, the kind of place where everyone sleeps together.

Licia booked a single room and fell asleep soundly.

She woke up from hunger, and when she went to the tavern to meet Coril, she had been sitting alone for five hours.

After Licia's face was washed, as soon as she entered the tavern, almost everyone in the tavern gasped.

Many of the rude ones even whistled.

Licia sat down opposite Coril, grabbed the black bread that she had gnawed in front of her, and ate it with half a cup of hot water.

"Eat slowly." Lier raised her head from the thick book.

I don't know where she just got this book.

"The tavernkeeper's book." Lier responded to Licia's curious look.

After Licia sat firmly, there were many rough men pushing each other to come over.

Finally, a seemingly strong man came over. He first showed off his muscles comically, and then slapped the table hard.

Ke Lier, who was continuing to read the book, looked at his behavior suspiciously.

Licia completely ignored him, and sat next to Kerier to read a book with her. "Are these all potion ingredients?"

Keri nodded. "Barbaryzi's unique ones, but I've read more than half of them, and they're all worthless."

"There is actually a special shape of sand." Lizia asked, pointing to a line in the book that was still pretty.

Perhaps the man was so blatantly ignored that his mates were still staring at him.

So he boldly slapped the table hard. "Old woman go away, I want to talk to this chick."

But Lier didn't seem to be able to bear being told she was old, so she picked up the clay cup on the table that Licia had drunk from, and threw it over without raising her head.

"Hehe, if it's the other way around, you'll pay it back!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Lycia caught sight of the uplifted arm, intending to give him a hard time the moment he fell.

Unexpectedly, before her, a gray-haired woman rushed forward from the direction of the bar counter, wearing an apron, and her face was full of signs of age.

She pressed the man who loves to show off on the table, making his left cheek completely stick to the table.

"Get out of here." Menduo kicked the man's leg and threw him into the aisle with his lapel. "I said, you are not allowed to disturb others in my tavern."

The originally majestic man dragged a broken leg, dared not say anything, and crawled out tremblingly.

"Thank you." Although Licia felt that this was a bit too harsh, she was very grateful to the older woman.

"I'm an adventurer." Mindotti tidied up her hair that wasn't too neatly combed, sat on the other side of Keriel, and said, pointing to the book. "These are the things I recorded after I traveled to the Barbaric region."

Keri let out an oh.

"Adventure is my main job, and opening a tavern is my side job. I have been in Barbary for many years, and I always find something new every time I go out." Mindotti said excitedly. "You are the first person to be interested in my book, I am honored to meet you."

Ke Lier's indifference embarrassed Licia who was sitting on the other side.

"Teacher, she doesn't like to be disturbed when she is reading." Licia said.

Mindotti was completely informal, she nodded. "I understand, I understand."

She walked across and sat down, looking at Licia. "Is she your teacher?"

Licia felt that Coril, who was reading the book, seemed to move her ears.

"Yes." Licia nodded. "It turns out that there are really people who regard exploration as a career."

This sentence was very flattering to Mendoti, and she shifted her interest in Kerier to Licia. "Of course, what a wonderful thing adventure is, and every new thing is wonderful."

Licia nodded, being curious about the world is the basic reason why society and people can progress.

"However, due to the tide of alien beasts recently, I can't leave the protection range of the guardian circle for the time being." Mendoti waited for the eavesdropping clerk who was standing not far away, and raised his eyebrows. "Hurry up and sell wine there, don't you see something that needs to be done in your own eyes?"

Then he immediately became kind to Licia again.

"To tell you the truth, we just came down from the Bridge of Holy Wars and just came to Barbarici. When we came to this town, we didn't even see a single beast." Licia said, and observed Mendoti expression.

Mendoti looked at Licia suspiciously. "Did you see anyone else on the bridge?"

Licia shook her head. "I only saw corpses." And Licia, the 'God of Death', planned to leave it alone.

"I thought that no new people came here recently, just because of the tide of alien beasts." Mendoti waved to a clerk. "What do you drink, I treat you."

Licia glanced at the black bread in her hand that was about to use up all her saliva. "Any kind of tea is fine, even without tea leaves."

Water resources are also very scarce in Barbaryzi. Although it often rains suddenly, most of the rainwater is not drinkable.

Ke Lier was already turning over the last few pages of the book, and her originally calm expression gradually became agitated. "Turtle grain beans! There are even Babarici!" Ke Lier yelled at Menduoti. "Where did you find the turtle beans?"

"Turtoise Bean?" Mindotti stood up, and moved to Keri'er's side, looking at her finger. "Oh, this, in the soil on the edge of the Dafa circle, I wanted to dig up a different stone, and found a nest of this kind of beans."
