Stray Chapter 24: Meet again

As the Queen of the Land of Shadows, Skaha has never left the realm she rules during these years.

As one of the fairyland in Celtic mythology, the Land of Shadows is considered to be a nether country that accepts the dead and the souls of the dead. However, it was ejected to the outside of the world a long time ago, because the rulers of the Land of Shadows She has become a being that is not much different from a god.

Fight, fight, fight.

Kill, kill, kill.

She has endured countless battles in the past, taking many lives. Humans, undead, and gods confronted countless beings and slaughtered them all.

The end result is that a body soaked in the blood of the enemy becomes eternity.

No longer aging.

Not dying.

became "something" that existed forever, and gained the wisdom of the abyss, which is the wisdom of the realm.

Because of this, she may be punished by stepping into the realm of the gods as a human body. She has received countless curses, and like other gods, after the era of gods disappears, she cannot continue to exist in the world, and can only gradually fade away. go.

The Kingdom of Shadows she dominated was naturally followed, and she was repelled and ejected to the outside of the world. This is a normal thing, because her time has passed...

Skaha also felt that perhaps the Land of Shadows was not completely cut off from the world, but still maintained a certain connection and maintained its current depth, just because it was affected by Britain, after all, the island is really too much Too special.

From the perspective of the magic world, the early dynastic era in 2600 BC was the first era when humans and gods parted ways.

And then until the fifth century AD, the island of Britain still remained in the time of the gods, and the air was full of mystery and magic that would only exist in that era... Obviously, there was a gap of three thousand years before and after. Time, it is still lingering incomparably tenacious, continuing the last relic of the mythical age.

On a mystical level, the island is like the navel of the planet, the heart of the world.

It is also benefiting from the remnants of the Age of Gods on the British islands, so the nearby island countries and even the whole of Europe are affected to a considerable extent, and Skaha and her country of shadows are naturally no exception, and they are also affected by radiation.

But all this will end sooner or later. No matter how tenacious the island of Britain is, it is impossible to completely stay in the past. The times are always moving forward, and time always flows from the known past to the unknown future.

So the mystery on the island will eventually dissipate like a cloud and mist. At that time, even the source of the heart will stop beating, and other places where blood is supplied will naturally be no exception, and the Kingdom of Shadows will be completely cut off from the world. Yes.

—Theoretically, this should be the case.

But not long ago, an extremely powerful spell was launched from that island, expanding, covering the sky and the earth, and finally enveloped the entire world, completely changing everything.

Even the Queen of the Land of Shadows has discovered that that terrifying force acts on the entire planet at the same time, affecting and changing the course of history in all aspects.

Although she has always been in her own field, it doesn't mean that she really doesn't know anything about everything that happens in the world, and she doesn't know anything... Although she really has no interest, So nothing special about it.

However, when the outside world is too big, and even herself is affected, no matter how uninterested she is, no matter how she doesn't want to pay attention, she will inevitably notice the problem.

No matter how you stay at home, no matter how you don't go out, no matter how you don't hear what's going on outside the window, when a big Ivan suddenly detonated one day next door, you should have found something wrong, right?

So that's it, after carefully observing the function and scope of the spell, and following the clues, I found the hidden tower deep in the British Isle, and the newly born Camelot Dynasty that was reborn from the ashes. , Skaha has figured out something...

But that's about it.

She didn't do anything, and couldn't do anything about it.

In the beginning, it was mainly because she wanted to challenge when she saw the strong, but she felt that she had graduated from this world. Even if it was a crisis in the whole world, if she took action, it would become a "right to life". The faux pas of people in today's world", depriving them of opportunities to grow.

Of course, that's what she said. According to her personality, she often deceives herself with strange reasons because of her innate enthusiasm for fighting, and finally she takes the initiative to participate in the battle. .

However, she still did nothing in the end, because the wisdom of the abyss gained from surpassing human beings, killing gods, and placing herself on the outside of the world made her choose a more appropriate way to deal with it, that is, to continue to be in the world In his own country of shadows, quietly waiting for what happened today.

Waiting for the restraining power from the human side to be activated, sending the heroes who transcended the era and the guardian of human nature to the nether kingdom she rules.

That's right, Skaha had known about what happened today. After all, she also has a high level of clairvoyance. In Ulster legends, she often uses this foretell to predict the future, and even the fate of her beloved disciple, Cu Chulainn, is no exception.

Although she has not been able to reach the highest level and has the qualifications to be crowned Caster, she can still foresee the future to a certain extent... It is precisely because she has foreseen the future that she chose to do so.

There is still hope.

If she didn't wait here, but went straight out to confront the magician she had never met, then maybe she really had no hope... The outcome of the battle she predicted told her that it wasn't at all. A battle of equals.

Without any suspense, she would lose instantly.

Don't say it's a handsome problem-solving, depriving people of the world of growth opportunities, whether she can keep herself is another matter.

It is true that she can't die, or she is also looking forward to the magician's ability to kill herself, but it will bring considerable trouble to the guardian of human nature - the magician will pay attention to this. Going to her and her country of shadows will also see troubles in the future.

Then maybe it will be dealt with, for example, the kingdom of shadows she dominates will be completely blocked, and nothing will be allowed in and out;

Or do something even more extreme, completely sink that nether kingdom into a deeper outer abyss, completely cut off the weak connection with the world, and make it never return to this world.

Skaha naturally doesn't care, but in this case, the land of shadows will no longer exist, and it is still unknown whether the restraining force can find other suitable springboards in this era.

After weighing the pros and cons, she had to restrain her thoughts and warned herself over and over again that she could not deprive the hope of people in the current world because of her willfulness. It would be more rude.

"Hope was a luxury at all times..."

Looking at the figures of the heroes who rushed towards the center of the Kingdom of Shadows, that is, the Shadow Castle where they were located, and looked at the direction of the three Chaldeans, the beauty with dark purple long hair did not know who it was Remembering something, he smiled.

She whispered to herself:

"Then let me wait and see to see if you can really grasp this possibility and open up that miraculous future once again..."

……

……

In the direction of the Queen's gaze, a battle has just ended.

A straight line of red lightning was released from the blade, and the blade pointed at it, swept everything invincible.

With ease, the bones were completely smashed, the ghosts were swept away, and all the undead in this large area were cleaned up against the background of the roar of the dark wind and the flickering thunder in the sky.

Although it is energy of negative characteristics, the hatred wrapped around the blade of the magic sword Clarent is obviously more terrifying and twisted than the cold energy of death possessed by the undead, and the surging magic power is easily Drain them.

"...the last Master of mankind?"

Wearing an armor that was so heavy that it looked a little bloated, the girl knight stuck the magic sword on the ground, raised her eyebrows, and looked at the three Chaldeans in front of her—

"That's really strange, there is such a thing..."

She shook her head and continued to say carelessly:

"I don't remember what you said about London. After all, I'm sorry. Servants are such existences. Every time they are summoned, it is a new beginning. We tend not to have memories of other battlefields..."

"This... we all know."

Fujimaru Rika couldn't help sighing. She didn't expect that the guess before departure would actually come true, and she actually met her familiar comrades and companions again during this trip to the singularity.

It's just that the other party is now summoned again and doesn't know him anymore. Although I was reminded many times, Fujimaru Rika just couldn't remember the lesson in this matter, and would always subconsciously forget such a mechanism.

So much so that every time she sees an "acquaintance", she will be very excited, and then she will often be poured cold water on her face, because she knows each other, but the other party does not know her, and it can even be said that they have been two a different person.

"But since it's the Master, then it's easy to handle. To be honest, I have been strange before. This time the summoning seems to be a bit unusual, but fortunately I have met you... Although it is repaired by people. This kind of thing has nothing to do with me, but I will make an exception to stand on the side of you guardians."

Mordred still looked nonchalant: "Just having said that, what is the situation now? I know that I should be fighting, but first I have to figure out where this place is and what are you going to deal with? such an enemy?"

“…”

“…”

"We don't know either..." After a while of silence, Fujimaru Tatsuka whispered in a weird tone, feeling a little lack of confidence, turned her head away from the sight of this rebellious knight.

"What? You don't know either?" Mordred was startled, and began to doubt the professionalism of this group of guys who claimed to be repairing humanity.

——Why do you feel so unreliable?

How did they fix the five singularities? By luck?
