Chapter 640 Sky Island Center
Xiaolin and his friends wandered back and forth in the ruins.
After walking for a long time, I still couldn't see the end, and the road looked very complicated with so many twists and turns.
"Hmm... This place is bigger than I thought."
After entering the sky city, I found that the ruins here were huge, much larger than the underground city of Kiel. Even in SAO Aincrad, there was no sky city this big.
"I say, don't you feel thirsty? I'm tired from walking, I want to take a rest!"
Aqua had only been walking for less than half an hour when she started to complain that she was tired.
Xiaolin already knew that she was a loser, but every time this happened, she would push herself to the limit.
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and said, "We just left a short while ago, don't get angry and start moving your feet."
"What! I'm not being mad, I'm really tired! I'm tired!" Aqua pouted her lips, looking as if Kobayashi was heartless, indifferent and inconsiderate towards her.
"It must be because I don't have the stamina to keep up."
Xiao Lin pointed at her slightly protruding belly and said, "Isn't it because you've been lying on the sofa motionless except for eating and going to the toilet recently, so you get tired easily?"
“Xiao Lin————!”
Aqua suddenly had tears in her eyes, and looked like she was going to cry in front of her if she said that again. She was just condemning herself.
"Okay, okay, don't say that."
Darkness came forward, supported Aqua and said, "We don't know if we can find a place to rest up ahead. Can we rest here for a while?"
“That’s right. Here, even if an enemy appears, we can react quickly.” Huihui also agreed to this arrangement.
Xiaolin also wanted Aqua to stop being angry and follow him obediently. At worst, he could carry her on his back...
"Ah! Okay, I get it! But just for a while!"
There was no choice but to rest where I was.
After telling this to Wiz and Vanir who were following behind, they sat on the ground in the ruins to rest.
Wiz also wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
"Hmph. You're tired already? Humans are really poor and weak." Vanir mocked. Although he said the word "human", the person he was looking at was the stupid goddess. It was obvious that he was making a veiled complaint.
However, the stupid goddess Aqua knew nothing and she sat down happily.
"Take a break! That's great! My feet are so tired from walking so far!"
Aqua rubbed her fair feet, then she saw the stream flowing in the ruins and asked, "I say, is the water here drinkable?"
“I don’t know, it looks quite clear and beautiful.” Darkness also stared at the stream.
Kobayashi stopped him, “Stop it, don’t mess around. Who knows what’s mixed in with this kind of thing on this unclear island. Ah, but Aqua can purify water, maybe she’ll be fine after drinking it. But forget about it, Darkness, it’ll be bad if you get an upset stomach.”
“Bad stomach… This is a ruin, there is no shelter. If I release it in front of everyone… That kind of humiliation is awesome!”
Darkness performed as usual.
Xiao Lin was no longer surprised by this, and said to the three people at the same time: "If you see any strange buttons or switches, don't touch them. Do you hear me? Don't touch them!"
"I know about that kind of thing. It's natural. Kobayashi just likes to worry." Aqua looked stupid.
This guy, do you know what I am worried about?
If this really worked, why would he have to repeat it over and over again like an old woman?
After all, these problem children are the type who only remember to eat but not to be beaten.
At this time, Darkness came out of her fantasy and said, "Xiaolin, I'll go over there for a while and I'll be back soon."
"Ah, I understand, but you can only go to a place where we can see you." Xiaolin said, but still felt a little worried and said: "Liu Zi, you should go with her too, so that she can take care of you if anything happens."
"understood."
“Yes, Master Kobayashi. I will never let Master Darkness do anything strange.”
Then the two of them walked towards the outskirts of the ruins.
Darkness stood at the gap in the ruins and looked out while exclaiming, “…Amazing! Is this already above the clouds? It’s like a sea of clouds. With just a little wind, you can see what’s under the clouds.”
“You are right, Lord Darkness, but please restrain yourself and don’t jump. After all, even I can’t stand in mid-air, so it’s impossible for me to save you.”
"I know, Liu Zi! I won't do that!"
Darkness said with a little excitement.
She did not see the decline of Aincrad like Kobayashi did, so she did not have such a shocking impression.
Then Darkness looked down and said, “Axel… is he around there? He’s too small to be seen clearly.”
"Yes, Axel is over there." Liu Zi pointed in a direction and said, "I can see Axel over there. By the way, Lord Dust was teasing a girl and was beaten down by her."
“H-Hah…”
Darkness didn’t know whether what Ryuzi said was true or not, but since she mentioned Dust, it must be true.
After a while.
Xiaolin called to the two of them from behind, "Darkness, it's almost time to go."
"Ah..."
"Hmm? What are you looking at?"
“Nothing… The clouds just happened to disperse, and I was wondering if I could see Axel,” Darkness said with a smile.
"Let me see."
Kobayashi also stood at the gap in the ruins and looked down.
"Oh, oh... This scenery is pretty nice, too. It's quite impressive."
Although he had the ability to see far away, this kind of scenery should be viewed with a contemplative eye. Compared to the illusion and refinement of Aincrad, the blurriness of reality was more shocking.
Darkness agreed.
"Just looking at it like this, I always feel a little weird."
"Ok?"
"Not long ago, I was in the world I was walking on, but now I can see it from the distant sky. The world we live in is so vast."
"Yes."
Although exclamations like these were not suitable for a perverted female knight, Kobayashi did not interrupt her thoughts but nodded in agreement.
Another pause.
Darkness said, "Sorry, you came to call me, go back."
"Well, let's finish quickly and come back to enjoy the scenery later." Xiao Lin said to her with a smile.
I have already left the coordinates of this sky city. I can come here anytime I want. Not only can I come to see the scenery, I can also have a picnic and camp here.
After returning, Aqua was no longer making noise.
She has had enough rest, and if she acts like a spoiled brat again, Kobayashi will really teach her a lesson.
Several people continued to go deeper into the ruins.
soon--
Aqua seemed to have discovered something and suddenly snorted.
"Ok?"
"What's wrong, Aqua?"
"...Wait a minute! Everyone, come and look at this!"
The stupid goddess motioned for everyone to come over quickly, and she pointed at something with a nervous look on her face.
Vanir asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
“Did you find anything, Aqua?” Darkness also looked at her curiously.
Aqua said excitedly: "Listen everyone, when I was wiping the magic stone until it was shiny, I found that inside the magic stone..."
She showed the magic stone to everyone.
“That’s a huge amount of magic power.” Huihui exclaimed.
Xiao Lin was also curious and asked: "The light it emits seems to be stronger than before. What happened?"
"The power of the magic stone is really amazing."
Wiz exclaimed.
Vanir was also incredulous and said, "Huhuhu? It seems that the power of the magic stones is increasing... I can feel that their magic power is much stronger than before."
This time Aqua was scared instead.
She held the magic stone like a hot potato and said, "Hey, hey, hey... Is it really okay to travel with these? Why do I feel like there is absolutely a sense of danger...?!"
She was so scared that even her language system broke down.
"Of course you can take it away." Vanir said, "But the reaction means that the altar should be nearby."
"Y-Really? This isn't going to explode... or anything, right?"
Aqua asked cautiously.
Only at this time would she choose to believe what Vanir said.
Xiaolin also said: "Well, since Vanir said so, it probably won't explode."
“However, if the magic power becomes stronger, it should be some kind of omen, so everyone should be careful on their journey,” Wiz advised.
"I see."
"Ah."
“Wow…it won’t explode, right?…Is it okay…?”
Aqua still looked extremely frightened.
Honestly, she's really troublesome.
At the beginning, she said that she would let Liu Zi hold the magic stone for her. Even if an accident happened, Liu Zi could use her ability to switch and escape. But the stupid goddess refused to hand over the magic stone on the grounds that she was afraid of being snatched away. Now she is like this.
The magic stone might as well explode.
Several people continued to walk forward. The deeper they went inside, the more broken it became. Many buildings had big holes in them, and strong winds rushed in through the gaps.
I'm really afraid that this sky city will fall apart.
Darkness stroked her hair, squinted her eyes and sighed, “The wind is so strong…”
"Xiao Lin Xiao Lin, can you come over to my side for a moment?" Aqua suddenly said quietly.
Xiaolin looked at her strangely.
"what happened again?"
"Okay, can you please walk by my side?"
"…What do you mean?"
"Okay, okay, just for a moment?"
The more she said this, the more Xiao Lin felt that something was wrong, but when he looked at where she was, he suddenly understood why she let him pass.
"...Aqua, you want to use me to block the wind, right?"
"...Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!"
Apparently Kobayashi had exposed her conspiracy.
This guy is really...
"Hey, after all, do you really need me as a shield? Can't you use your goddess power to come up with something different?"
"But I'm the goddess of water. Rain is no problem for me, but I don't have the power to avoid strong winds."
Aqua said as a matter of course.
Kobayashi curled the corner of his mouth, then quietly moved half a body distance away, and then the strong wind rushed in through the gap.
Aqua yelled, "Ah, wait! If you move, the sudden cold wind will hurt you!"
"I don't want to be used as a shield." Xiao Lin complained, and then said: "At this time, I should let others... keep an eye on——"
"Yeah, stare—"
The two looked at a certain blonde female knight.
Darkness shrugged and asked, “Eh, what are you doing, Xiaolin? It’s a bit scary to suddenly steal a burning gaze at me.”
“Darkness, you have a pretty good body.”
"It's embarrassing to be stared at as if you were licking me all over my body all of a sudden!"
The perverted female knight blushed.
Then, she quickly said, as if she had thought of something, "Ah, I understand! Are you rating me? What's the trick at this serious moment... Ha, ha...!"
“No, I just thought you’d be great as a wind blocker since you’re so big.” Aqua said inconsiderately, “After all, Darkness, you’re very tall.”
"Ah, let me come with you too! It would be so unkind of you to leave me behind!"
Huihui also squeezed over.
Darkness shouted excitedly, “Ugh! Use me to take shelter? I am being used as a tool without any hesitation... I am so eager for it, so great!”
She looked very happy.
Wiz saw this and smiled, "You guys are so close, I'm a little envious. When I'm with you guys, I always feel like I can get along with you guys, and it's a very happy feeling."
"Then Wiz, why don't you come over here too." It was rare for Aqua to take the initiative to invite Wiz instead of driving her away with disgust.
"Hey, is it okay, Aqua-sama, let me come too?"
"Of course! If you want to come, just come along!"
“H-Hah…”
Wiz was confused and was pulled by Aqua, and was used as another windshield.
"Well, Wiz is really big as expected. This way, she can completely block the wind."
"Aqua, you..."
Xiaolin looked at Aqua like this and gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Well done."
"Right!"
“That’s too much, Lady Aqua!”
Wiz said this in a wronged tone.
But having said that, she did not run away, but continued to serve as a windshield. I guess she quite likes doing this.
By the way, does a lich feel cold?
Maybe it was because the ruins were so desolate, but Kobayashi and his companions didn't find any monsters here. They had a smooth journey, but the road was winding and it was easy to get lost.
After walking for a long time, the surrounding buildings began to look new.
Wiz suddenly said, "Ah, we're almost at our destination."
"...It seems that this is the center of this sky island." Kobayashi looked around and said so.
