Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 310 Is Lingge back?

Alice and the others in the game world were completely unaware of the chaos and commotion happening in the outside world. They were still concentrating on the battle in front of them, and... they were in a great danger!

Alice used her own turn plus the one turn granted by Saint Shallia with the skill [Sacrament of the Cross], and two Courageous Slashes reduced Professor David's HP to about 2000 HP, and it seemed that victory was in sight. However, Metien's HP was also hit to death by Professor David, and without Ling's high recovery skills, no matter how hard she used the recovery skills, she was ultimately unable to raise her HP to the safe blood line. With only more than HP, she was no different from a candle in the wind.

Alice gritted her teeth when she saw this, knowing that Metien's death was irreversible. If only there were some healing potion, she thought.

Olvera and Shaymi were unwilling to let the pink-haired girl die so easily, and they were still trying to struggle. One used the power of the holy staff to put an extra layer of shield on her, and the other took the risk of using the fairy magic [Random Strange Change] with extremely unstable random numbers. Although they were lucky enough to get the excellent effect of increasing their own defense and reducing the enemy's attack, this level of support still seemed to be a drop in the bucket.

Metien herself accepted this outcome and had a good attitude. After all, dying in the game didn't mean she was really dead, and she also believed that her companions, especially Linger and Alice, would definitely defeat the boss and revive her. So when it was Professor David's turn, the pink-haired girl was not panicked or scared at all, but just a little regretful. She smiled and said to her companions, "It seems that I can't continue to help you. I'm sorry."

"Wuwuwu, no, Metien, I don't want you to die!" Xie Mi was very sad when she heard this and wanted to rush over to hug her friend. If it was the real world, she might have cried out loud, but this was the game world, so she could neither cry nor rush over to hug Metien to save her from the impending attack. She could only stand there and helplessly look at the relieved smile on her friend's face.

"It's okay, Shaymi." The pink-haired girl comforted her, "I'm not really dead, I'm just gone temporarily. I believe everyone will rescue me, right?"

"Of course." Alice clenched the holy sword in her hand and said seriously, "Just take a rest first, Metien. Soon, we will knock down this disgusting guy and rescue you!"

“Yeah!” Metien nodded vigorously. Although it was a pixel model made up of blocks, one could still tell that she was smiling brightly.

"Let me tell you, this is impossible."

Behind him, the Sky God with an eagle head and a human body, six arms and six wings, let out a majestic and sharp howl, stirring the clouds in the sky to slowly rotate, like a terrifying whirlpool deep in the sea tide. Red lightning flashed in the whirlpool from time to time. The eye of the storm in the center was deeply sunken, rolling back to the higher sky, as if opening a door to the world of nothingness. At His call, the dark storm descended on the earth, roaring and surging, sweeping past, and instantly swallowing up Alice's figure. The same plot as before was played out again. When the storm stopped, everyone had lost sight of Alice, as if she had been exiled to the distant other side of nothingness.

Then, Professor David calmly used the magic [Beheading], letting the falling guillotine take away the last bit of life of the pink-haired little girl. Along with the ruthless damage prompt, the petite figure turned into a point of light and gradually dissipated. At the same time, the cold system narration sounded in my ears:

Professor David took off his glasses in a hypocritical manner and rubbed his eyes, as if he was also moved to tears by the friendship of these people. But when he put them back on, the silver frame reflected only a cold and chilling light: "So I have to break your fantasy, Miss Alice - do you think you still have a chance to turn defeat into victory?"

After that, he raised his heavy walnut cane, pointed the end at Alice, who looked unconvinced, and whispered a few words: "The void breath of the sky god."

Shaymi racked his brains but couldn't come up with a reliable solution, but the game had to go on.

"Wow! Metien!" Shemi yelled in panic. Although she knew that dying in the game world was not real death, it was still a shocking experience to see her best friend disappear in front of her eyes. What made her even more panicked was that even Alice was exiled. How could the game continue?

What to do? What to do? What to do?
Is there any way to turn the tide?

"What a touching friendship, like a drama from the classical era - the promise made by the King of Nassau to poor Eneldidas, or the stubborn Marcel confessing his love to his friend Duchan in a rainstorm? Every scene on this stage is worth touching, but unfortunately, not every play can have a happy ending."

Friendship, commitment, salvation... are the essence of RPG games. The cartridge in free mode will not have any plot, but the players who participate in the game will give it a plot and interpret various wonderful stories.

It would be better if there wasn't a guy who ruins the mood around.

[Your companion Metien has been killed.]

With Lingge and Alice banished to the void, and Metien dead, the only ones left on the field were Xiaoxia, Aovira, and himself. But Xiaoxia was a pure auxiliary, and her destiny buff was bound to Alice. When Alice was not on the field, she was no different from a transparent person; although Aovira had half of the output responsibilities, since it was a part-time job, she could not be very strong, and there was no way to kill this annoying BOSS in a short time; and he was just a noob who could only play with random numbers - only in this case would Xie Mi admit that he was a noob.

It was Saint Shallia's turn. Her destiny buff was bound to Alice. After being exiled, Alice could do nothing but end the round silently. Olvera struggled for a long time between each skill, and finally chose to release the holy sword - Oath of Broken Steel. The pale blue holy sword, like a crystal, fell from the sky and chopped straight at Professor David's head. Although the special effects were very cool, the damage was quite touching. It only knocked off more than 200 HP of him, and it was still a long way from killing him.

When it was Xie Mi's turn, she suddenly had an idea: If I didn't end my turn, then I wouldn't have to worry about losing?
But if the round is not ended, the exiled Lingge and others will never come back!

And it seems meaningless to simply delay time like this? Or should I rely on my fairy magic to create miracles? Didn't my elder sister once say that the magical fairy magic is omnipotent, as long as you believe in your own power, it will give you the same miracle in return. Because fairy magic is originally an equivalent exchange between fairies and fate, there is no magic more magical than it in the world, even the dragon language magic of dragons cannot compare with it.

But I haven't fully mastered fairy magic yet!
What if I end up making things worse and adding some buff to the enemy? Wouldn't that make the battle even more difficult?

Under the cold observation of Professor David and the concerned and nervous gaze of the two young female kings, the little traveling fairy hesitated for several minutes, with the expression on her face changing constantly, sometimes shrinking, sometimes confused, and sometimes very determined... Finally, she finally made up her mind, plucked up the courage, and slowly moved her finger towards her skill bar.

It's time to turn the tide, Shemi!
Don't let down Metien's sacrifice, everyone's expectations, the eldest sister's teachings, and the second sister's scolding!
She was cheering herself up frantically in her heart, but before she could use her skills, she heard a cold reminder voice: [Time is running out. Since you didn't take any action, the round has ended automatically.]

"Wow!!! Alice never mentioned any time limit!!!" The elf's wails instantly echoed throughout the valley, causing Saint Shallia to sigh helplessly. The lamb cast a contemptuous look at her, while Ovira covered her face with a book, as if she couldn't bear to look directly at it.

"ridiculous!"

Shaymi's poor performance tilted the balance of victory towards Professor David. He sneered disdainfully and continued to use the holy relic [Breath of the Void of the Sky God] to banish Olvira, the only one with some output ability, into the void. Then, he used the [Beheading] magic on Saint Shallia.

Originally, Saint Shallia had a hidden passive skill, which made her invincible when someone with the destiny buff was on the field. However, Alice was exiled, so this hidden passive skill was also invalidated. She only had 1 HP and could not withstand even one attack. At this time, facing the cold guillotine falling from the sky, she did not panic or fear at all. She just gently stroked the lamb's hair, turned her head slightly, and looked at Lingge's position. Her eyes seemed very calm, but there was a slight expectation, as if she believed that the young man could do something even in such a predicament.

The guillotine fell and pierced through the somewhat thin figure.

A cold system prompt came to Xie Mi's ears: [Your companion Saint Shalia has been killed. ]

"Wow, how come even Xia-chan is——"

Now I'm really the only one left.

Can fairy magic help me create miracles?

For example... reviving everyone?

Xie Mi was not very confident, but she had to give it a try because she was the last hope. Perhaps the little fairy never thought that she would one day become everyone's last hope.

"It feels so heavy," she muttered, feeling an inexplicable amount of pressure in her heart.

Professor David did not take this traveler fairy seriously at all. In his opinion, victory was already in his pocket. Soon, he would be able to accomplish the feat that his ancestor David failed to achieve, obtain the authority of the angels, and even go one step further and obtain the two magical holy relics, the "game console" and the "cassette". With these theories, even if he fled to the East Continent, he would be able to gain a foothold there and gain a place.

That's right, he never thought of staying in the Western Continent, because he knew that after this incident, the Church Alliance would never tolerate him to continue living, and even if he obtained the authority of angels and many holy relics, he did not have the confidence to fight against that behemoth. Therefore, fleeing to the continent across the sea was the most appropriate choice.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Rochelle's summoning ceremony attracted the attention of the united sects, he could escape from the weakest-guarded southern border to any coastal country, and then sneak across on a smuggling ship, or simply contact the Thirteen Hermits... He recalled his long-planned plan in his mind and ended the round at the same time.

However, the anxious Xie Mi did not get his turn.

Instead, there was a system prompt that was still cold, but full of hope in her eyes:

[Your companion Lingge has returned. ]

　Give me some meow
