I really only stop

"This hammer is really heavy, Yuxia doesn't seem to have enough strength..."

"Will the enemy care if you have enough strength?!"

Thinking back to how General Stormwind taught Little Curly, the emperor who didn't know how to get along with his daughter could only act like a strict father:

"Have you ever thought about what to do if one day your holy art cannot be used for some reason, and you have no teammates around you? At that time, your muscles and hammer skills are the only things that can save you s things!"

Startled by her father's overly harsh expression and words, little Yuxia stood at attention with tears on her face:

"Yes Yes!!!"

"The sound is too low to hear!"

"I see!!!!!!"

"—Later, I discovered the interestingness of martial arts more and more. After learning my father's hammering method, I went to Uncle Faron to learn epee. After that, I have already understood the essence of martial arts. I don't need to specialize Going to learn a certain genre, even if you get a brand new weapon, the way to use it will naturally come to mind."

Looking sideways at the Quen Warhammer beside her, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuxia's mouth:

"However, in exchange, Warhammer is the most suitable for me. It contains the clumsy love and expectation of my father, and also contains the bravery and perseverance passed down from generation to generation of the royal family."

"[...]"

Hearing these words, the mysterious woman froze in place.

saint?Warhammer?Martial arts?

What are you doing with that real hammer?What happened to the sudden memory killing?Are you serious about "mastering the essence of martial arts" after only learning hammering and epee?

No, no, no, before this, was Yuxia who was able to freely wield such a perverted thing [only with physical strength] really a girl?How did she manage to hide muscles far superior to a wrestler while being so good that she exploded?

You know, Lu Xi always rests on her lap pillow! !While lamenting the softness and fragrance of his thighs, does he really know what kind of terrifying power is hidden in his pillowed thighs? !

"Then, let me attack first."

She saluted quite gracefully, and when Yuxia's face was raised again, there was no trace of the usual gentle healing on it.With incomparable heroism and arrogance, she locked the enemy's position, and jumped high with the huge warhammer in her hand:

"[Quen Earth Dragon Impact]!!!"

Faced with this extremely oppressive blow, the mysterious woman no longer dared to meet it directly with her body.Most of the black iron thorns quickly formed a shield to block the way of the hammer——

"Bang!!!!!!"

——A dull metal sound resounded suddenly. Although the black iron thorns tried their best to defuse the impact by unloading the force, there were still dozens of thorns that had no time to adapt to the drastic change, and broke and fell to the ground.

"【!!!】"

Painfully clutching her abdomen, traces of bright red blood seeped out from between the woman's fingers unstoppably.It couldn't be more obvious, under this blow, the mysterious woman was hit hard like never before!

"Don't you use holy spells for treatment?"

Without taking advantage of the victory to pursue, Yuxia just looked down at the enemy in front of her:

"It seems that my speculation is indeed correct."

"[… Speculation?]"

He raised his head with difficulty, and under the severe pain, the voice of the mysterious woman was calmer than before:

“[Can you talk to me?]”

"There is no difficulty. In the battle just now, the only attack method you used was the ominous black iron thorn. At that time, I had a question, 'Why would the born saint completely give up the convenience of the holy light and turn to Using an unheard-of weapon?'”

Stretching out a simple ball of holy light, Yuxia held it in her palm:

"At the beginning, I was still answering this question with 'you just don't want to use holy light on me who is also a natural saint', but as the battle progressed, I found that not only attack-type holy spells, but you can even use healing-type holy spells. I have never used any of the holy arts. Then, I saw the surrounding scene, and suddenly understood one thing—"

"It's not that you haven't used the holy light. On the contrary, you've been buffing the plague with the greatest effort, even to the point where you have no energy left to cast even one more healing spell on yourself."

“【After all, this is my purpose】.”

Unable to deny this fact, the mysterious woman stood up with thorns supporting her body, and once again made an offensive move.

"Do you want to continue fighting?"

Frowning in surprise, Yuxia said:

"Now the situation has been reversed. Although I still can't attack you with holy magic, I can heal and buff myself. From the blow just now, I can see that my martial arts are enough to defeat you, and there is still Mr. Barney moment Provide assistance. On your side, not only can’t heal your own wounds, but the only black iron thorns can’t beat my warhammer—at this moment, put down the weapon in your hand, explain your purpose clearly, and then return with me It is the best choice for the elves to face the trial."

"【the best choice?】"

Without expressing any opinion on Yuxia's plan, the mysterious woman just smiled slightly:

"[No, it's not right. There has never been a best choice in this world. Just like ten thousand brooks will eventually merge into the sea, the so-called 'choice' is just the biggest illusion caused by the intellect itself. There is no accidental choice , only what is believed must be.”

The reality is not always as beautiful as the story. Even if [the protagonists] show their cards, make unexpected actions, and even show their noble will and ability to fight, they cannot change the slightest bit of my plan.

Investigating, inquiring, thinking... In order to truly achieve my goals, I have been living in repeated pain and anxiety for a hundred years.And all of this is to fulfill the mission of being a [chess piece], and also for the ultimate [pleasure] that is ten thousand years late——

She stretched out her hand and pressed it on the black iron thorns covering her face. The smile on the corner of the mysterious woman's mouth became bigger and bigger, and the poorly stitched black iron thread could no longer stop this crazy smile. Turned into real laughter, loudly resounding in this real hell——

"【I am disaster.】"

——The tone is firm, as if announcing the truth.

Unshakeable.

------------------

【Well, it is indeed the work of Batley's family. Even an old man can't help but marvel at the high degree of completion of this plague. 】

Amazed to 'catch' a weird twisted bacteria, Musta rarely sighed:

[The fatality rate that can be said to be fatal, the purposely enhanced multiplication performance, the spells that specifically target elves and magic seals, and even the method of using holy light to strengthen the plague-what a genius idea!That boy Haimo said it well, bacteria are also a kind of life, if so, they must be strengthened by the holy light! 】

[Okay, okay, the passionate explanation of the biological research madman ends here first. 】

As an existence who loves wine and poetry, Mamayi obviously has no interest in things like plague:

[Can you handle this thing? 】

【Humph!Who do you think the old man is? ! 】

With a curl of his lips in dissatisfaction, Musta raised his head high:

[It’s not an old man’s bragging. To deal with this kind of plague, the so-called seals of the Holy Light and the elves are really useless.The power of the seal is restrained by the plague itself, and the holy healing will be repelled by the same attribute of the holy light that supports the plague.In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can get rid of this plague.One is the Batley family who are natural plague warlocks, and the other is——]

[The famous mad hat biologist Musta, right?I know I know. 】

Nodding perfunctorily, Mamayi looked up at the sky covered by the plague:

[While the protection of the World Tree can still last, you should quickly resolve the plague.There is nothing we can do about the disasters that have happened, but we can still rush to stop the loss as soon as possible.After you get rid of this troublesome plague, and Miss Yuxia will attack the culprit that caused all this, we still have to think about what excuses we can give to Miss Nana—as the existence closest to the end, Nana Miss herself has no real sense of the concept of 'death' at all——】

……

"Boom."

The expected response did not come, instead, Mamayi heard the sound of an object falling to the ground.

Could it be that something has happened to Musta again?It shouldn't be, the stakes have been clearly stated, even for Miss Nana, Musta should take action.

With such doubts in mind, Mamai looked down in the direction of the sound, but what he saw made him move involuntarily.

The puppet of the old man who was bragging loudly just now fell to the ground like a real puppet without life and soul.

On his chin, a Holy Light Fist faintly glowed.

PS: big chapter desu

Chapter 678 At the same time

It was still darkness in silence, and in the huge pitch-black space, only the figure of Lu Xi shone with light.There is nothing around, and boundless darkness lurks in every corner, but surprisingly, people don't feel fear and panic.

Compared with the space in Selika's body where Tiamat's big sister is sealed, the current dark environment seems to lack some majesty and arrogance, but only this vicissitudes from ancient times are common.

Lu Xi recognized this place.

"Is this the space in my stomach where Miss Hyera is?"

After recognizing where he was at a glance, a question mark appeared in Lu Xi's head.

The last image in my mind was the ceiling before falling asleep, and if I expected it, Miss Heyera dragged me here again while I was asleep.

Just, why would she do this?The first meeting and the greeting of staying in my stomach have already been called last time, and Ms. Heyera is not the kind of character who is super easy to be lonely and wants to chat with someone.Could it be that you just thought it was fun to call me here so thoughtlessly?

Although his stomach was full of doubts, as the summoned one, Lu Xi really had nothing to do with the current situation.

After all, this is reality, and there is no [logout] button in my perspective.The last time I left this sealed space, Miss Heyera personally sent me out. I don't know how to get out of this state.

However, since I was summoned here, Ms. Heyera will definitely do something.

Simply sitting cross-legged on the spot, Lu Xi waited for the upcoming [change].

“【~】”

As expected, within a short while after he sat down, Hiyera's unique soft hum sounded in the surrounding darkness, and the next moment, a path of light extended from the distant nothingness, impartially It stopped in front of Lu Xi.

...I wanted to complain last time. Why does this scene have a sense of sight like a fairy tale?

With a murmur in his heart, Lu Xi stepped onto the path in front of him.

--------------

...something doesn't seem right.

Walking alone on the long and winding path of light, Lu Xi couldn't help frowning slightly.

When I came here last time, I just took a few short steps on the Path of Light and arrived in front of Miss Heyera.But now, even though he has walked for more than ten minutes physically, the path still has no end in sight.

Is there something wrong?

After subconsciously checking the linkage between the 'beast's intuition' and the time-stop ability, Lu Xi stopped.

No, it is not yet certain that this is an enemy attack.

The beast's intuition is still operating normally, and my various values ​​​​on the status bar are also very stable.The path of light in front of him is just a bit too long, other than that, there is nothing suspicious.

Although the first-generation saintess looks like a super scary villain boss, her heart is very kind and simple.In the current situation, maybe she is just joking with me.

Anyway, it's in a sleeping state, it's all a tiring dream, let's cooperate with the prank of this first-generation saint here.

Thinking of this, Lu Xi no longer worried.While slowing down, he observed possible changes on the Path of Light.

“【~】”

As if cooperating with him intentionally, with the transmission of a certain will, the infinitely extending path of light in front of him finally produced new changes.

"Huh? Is there a fork in the road?"

Seeing in surprise that the originally straight path of light split into two in front of him, Lu Xi stopped.

Just as he said, the path in front of him split into two completely opposite directions a few steps ahead.The strange thing is that at the fork in the road, a golden arrow composed of holy light is floating there quietly, and the tip of the arrow just points to one of the directions.

【right direction】.

what is this?

Lucy scratched his cheek subtly.

Things have reached this point, and it is no longer a simple maze or trap.When such a stupid design was made by the first-generation lady saint, it revealed a taste of [psychological testing].

Even when faced with such a simple question, different people will come up with different answers.

Knowing that the arrow was set up by the first saintess, Yuxia will definitely choose to go in the direction pointed by the arrow; on the contrary, Miss Cat who holds [Magical Rebellion] will undoubtedly choose the opposite direction .

As far as I am concerned, because I am really not sure about the mind of this first lady saint, I will fall into a dilemma.

However, don't underestimate our time-stopping ability!

Calmly activated the stop, Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders easily, raised his legs and walked towards the path opposite to the [correct direction].

After walking for about 5 minutes, the trail that should have been extending to the direction of Hiyera suddenly stopped abruptly.Looking at the bottomless darkness in front of him, Lu Xi shook his head helplessly:

"It seems that I have to go back and start again. Unexpectedly, that reminder is actually true."

Return to the original position, and the time stop is released.Lu Xi, who already knew what was at the end of the other road, naturally would not repeat his mistake again, and he went directly to the [correct direction].

The original fork in the road quickly disappeared behind him in the non-stop advance, looking at the path of light extending forward again in front of him, Lu Xi lazily gave a hache.

In theory, I'm actually sleeping right now.But in this space, my thinking is still active when I am awake.If this continues, if I don't have a good rest and don't get up tomorrow morning, won't I be laughed at by a certain scumbag?

“【~】”

The familiar humming sound resounded from the surrounding darkness again, as if 'seeing' Lu Xi's predicament, two exquisite tables appeared out of thin air on both sides of the path of light.Their appearances are exactly the same, and a cup of coffee that looks exactly the same is placed on the two tables, warm and steaming.
