If you know that your life will end soon, what will you do now
This problem has appeared in many psychological tests in Roja's previous life, but in fact it did not have much effect. The reason is simple because of the lack of realism and the influence of the external environment.
In other words, the impact of the lack of cause of death.
For a person who has been paralyzed and bedridden for many years, leaving the hospital bed and going to the outside world is the last thing he wants to do. For a person who has been away from home all his life, returning to his hometown and setting foot on his homeland is his last choice.
For people whose lives and even the entire race are in crisis, what they want in the end is a sense of security, or being with the people closest to them.
In the face of this choice, Antonio chose Estreide. He wanted to welcome the next decisive battle with Estreide in the best image, while Roja’s choice was to go back to Alyssa who was still in a coma. .
Walking out of the door of the room, the corridor was brightly lit but no one was visible. The black-haired boy looked around and noticed that Alisa's curse was reflected on the left.
"I'll take you there, the structure here is still a bit complicated."
"Um."
Antonio’s words sounded behind him, and Roja nodded and chose to follow. The two people walked along the circular building. The people they met on the way were all in a hurry, and their voices were also noisy. Many of the wounded were watching. He was sent to an icu ward like Luo Ya for emergency treatment.
"Those are... ... " .
Looking at the faint black mist on the wounded soldier's body, Roja's golden pupils suddenly shrank, and Antonio nodded.
"Well, they are the soldiers who went to meet but were attacked by the fallen. The battle was sudden and they were unprepared, otherwise more would come back..."
"What about the mental state? Is it seriously affected?"
"This is a blessing in the misfortune. Unlike the monsters in the Kingdom of Scholars four hundred years ago, these fallen people from thousands of years ago are powerful, but they will not immediately drive those who fight with them into madness, but they are contaminated with the savior. The breath is inevitable."
"I see."
Hearing Antonio's words, the black-haired boy nodded, feeling a little settled.
In the historical fragments four hundred years ago, Roja had personally seen those strange black priests and black armored soldiers in ancient times. Although those monsters may not be as powerful as the elite of the ancient Austin empire thousands of years ago, they are eroding. This aspect is scary.
Just fight against them and they will fall into madness. The only way to kill them is to attack them from a distance. This can be said to be a nightmare-level opponent, but the so-called power and cost are equal, so that most of the power is transformed into a powerful corrosive force. In exchange for a decline in defense power.
The fallen ones of the ancient Austin Empire that Roja and others are facing now are in the exact opposite evolutionary direction of these black legions. They concentrate their power in their bodies, and their bodies are stronger and more capable of fighting, but they are more corrosive. It has been greatly reduced.
"Compared with the black armored armies four hundred years ago, I think it is better to deal with them now that can fight in close quarters."
"Well, such an enemy can at least mobilize the combined army to fight. If it were the Black Armored Corps, our morale would probably collapse."
Hearing Roja's words, Antonio nodded recalling the hardships of four hundred years ago, and then said with a dignified face:
"But... facing this kind of enemy, our casualties will probably be much greater."
"It's true."
Regarding Antonio's speculation, the black-haired boy nodded in agreement. Thinking of the hard fight that might happen later, he felt a little heavy, until the head of the academy stopped in front of a door.
"Alyssa is here, she should be waking up soon."
After leaving such words and instructions about the building, Antonio left first. The dean knew that Roja should not be disturbed now, and the black-haired boy stood at the door for a while before pushing the door into the room.
-------------------------------------------------- ---
The beauty of Alisa, this is the first time Roja saw a girl with silver hair and she was deeply shocked by it, but Roja probably didn't expect it at that time, even if it is now a few years later , The black-haired teenager is still the same, even more serious, and the reason is very simple.
Because there is a kind of essential nutrient substance called Alyssasu in the world.
Looking at the sleeping girl in the hospital bed and the curse power with a little Alisa's breath nearby, the black-haired boy took a deep breath, and immediately felt that he was much relieved both mentally and physically.
Psychologically, there is no need to mention Alisa’s special status in Roja’s heart. As long as she sees that the girl is safe, Roja can be comforted no matter how tired her heart is. Physically, this is Alisa’s own reason. NS.
As a person with part of the power of the Mother Goddess, Alisa's curse power and the savior's power can be said to be incompatible with fire and water. It is also because of this that the magical elements of this room are not polluted, and it is completely different from the feeling of heavy turbidity from the outside world.
Feeling the feeling of breathing fresh air in the deep mountains, Roja approached the girl’s bed. Although she is an adult, Alisa’s body is still very petite, her silver-white hair is soft and beautiful, and she falls down to the girl’s waist like a waterfall. , The color complements the fair skin.
The cherry-colored lips have a moist luster, like tantalizing cherries that make people want to taste it. Compared with the usual way, the eyes closed are less chilly and more well-behaved. Until now, they still have no scale. The little breasts of her buckle together, and the rhythm is very reassuring.
Seeing Alisa sleeping like this, Roja was taken aback for a while, and after thinking about it, he realized that he hadn't seen Alisa's sleeping face for a long time.
After removing the night when the two were in the [Hidden Mist], it was a long time since Roja and Alisa shared the bed, and Alisa’s appearance has also undergone subtle changes. The freshness made Luo Ya couldn't help but look a little fascinated, until the silver-haired girl gently opened her eyes.
"... Brother sir?"
"it's me."
At the moment when she saw Roja, Alisha's expression was a little dazed, and her brain was not very awake. She squinted her eyes like a kitten that hadn't fallen asleep, and seemed to suspect that she was still in a dream. However, following Roja's response , The silver-haired girl's red eyes gradually widened.
"!"
"Why did you wake up suddenly, Alisa, did I bother you?"
"No, not at all! By the way, my elder brother is here..."
The sober girl sat up abruptly, grabbed Roja's hand by the bed, and looked around with some worry, while the black-haired teenager thought of the situation before Alisa was in a coma, with a smile on her face soothing. stand up.
"Relax, Alisha, the battle is over."
Holding the girl's hand, Luo Ya explained in detail what happened during this period, and after hearing that Caroline had given up the final plan, the silver-haired girl finally let go of her heart and pounced on Luo. Ya's arms.
"My brother, thank you."
"What are you talking about, shouldn't I protect you? No thanks."
"Don't thank you? Well, in that case, I will use other things to return to the elder brother."
"something else?"
Hearing Alisha's words, the black-haired boy blinked in confusion, while the silver-haired girl's cheeks were slightly flushed. She looked at Roja with a small fox-like smile on her face, leaning against the boy's chest. Whispered:
"My elder brother saved my life, then I will give my life to my elder brother."
"Huh? It's still alive... Ah."
Looking at the red eye pupils in front of him, she was moisturizing, and the girl biting her lip with a spring face, Luo Ya's golden eyes widened slightly, and then turned her head somewhat unnaturally, reaching out and tapping on the little girl's head.
"Just woke up, what are you thinking about."
"What do you think... My brother knows best."
"... Your body hasn't recovered yet."
"I was in a coma because of the soul attack released by the ancient god of Caroline's ancestors, which had no effect on the body."
"That's not OK."
Reluctantly pressing Alisa's body that started to move, the black-haired boy let out a sigh, and then his face gradually became serious.
"Alyssa, I’m only halfway through what I said just now. The problem on Caroline’s ancestors has indeed been solved, but there are still bigger problems... This room has been unconsciously purified by you, so you feel that No, spread the curse power and feel it."
"Perception?"
Hearing Luo Ya's words, Alisa was slightly taken aback with her arms around the boy's neck, and then her red eyes suddenly widened, and her aura suddenly changed drastically.
"Brother! The breath nearby is... the fallen one?"
"No, it would be great if it was just a fallen one."
With a wry smile, the black-haired boy looked at Alisa who had thought of something, and said softly:
"The savior has recovered, and brought the capital that was destroyed by the ancient Austin empire thousands of years ago to the Tucker Plain. There are hundreds of thousands of fallen people on the plain now, and the magical element of the entire eastern realm has been polluted."
"how come... ... "
The sudden bad news made Alisha's scarlet eyes widened, and Roja also understood the reason for the girl's reaction.
The savior brought the imperial capital to the Tuck Plain. Although hundreds of thousands of fallen people are powerful, as long as they give humans time, it is not without a solution, but the pollution of magic elements is different.
Transcendents, to put it bluntly, are humans who use magic elements to alienate their bodies. The higher the level of transcendents, the higher the degree of alienation and the more severe their dependence on magic elements. Just like Caroline in the bottomless abyss thousands of years ago, they just survived. It requires a lot of magic elements, and even suspended animation as a last resort.
Naturally, the consumption of ordinary soldiers cannot be compared with Caroline. However, under the pollution of all magic elements, the power of the savior in the body is increasing, but it is certain. In fierce battles, it will make the savior even more powerful. The strength of the rapid accumulation, until completely degenerate and become a member of the enemy.
"This should be the reason why the savior launched this scale transfer spell. I talked to the dean before. Based on the information given by the current coalition army, we probably have to make a choice."
"choose?"
"Well, one is to completely abandon the Eastern Frontier and shrink back, and the other is to do everything possible to purify the magic element and still stick to it."
"..."
Hearing Loya's words, Alisha fell silent for a while, and the reason was simple, because she could not give the answer to this multiple-choice question even if she had the power of the mother god.
It is undoubtedly an unwise move to stay in the East Territory. It is said to purify the magic element with all its strength, but everyone in the East Territory probably understands that it is impossible to get close to three million soldiers to get rid of the savior’s pollution. Yes, and with the passage of time, someone will degenerate.
But if you abandon the Eastern Frontier, then the human situation might be even more dangerous.
The entire frontline fortress group in the east is a defense line that humans have spent thousands of years building. Counting that this time has blocked five alien invasions, and facing the more powerful army of fallen, the overall humanity after abandoning these defense facilities The strength will be greatly weakened, and the frontier of the human world will be insecure.
In the process of retreat, once humans are overtaken, there is a risk of the collapse of the entire army, and the fallen who follow will enter the human world, and the catastrophes caused may be more terrifying than the invasion of aliens in the past.
And most importantly, the power of the savior will not stop, the pollution of magic elements will continue to spread, and sooner or later the human world will also become what it is now in the east. The retreat is nothing more than chronic death in the final analysis, and humans at that time also The opportunity to fight back will be completely lost, and even repentance will not be possible.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya felt heavy. He looked at the girl in front of him and asked the question he cared most.
"Alyssa, do you know when the mother goddess will wake up?"
"My mother? This... I don't know the exact time, but at least it hasn't woken up yet."
"That's it."
Hearing Alisha's answer, Roja sighed. He looked at the dark night outside the window for a long time and had to admit a fact.
That is, he may never see the mother goddess again.
The savior wakes up, but the mother god is still asleep. Now that mankind has been forced into a desperate situation, it may be a way to adopt delaying tactics to wait for the mother god to wake up, but whether the awakened mother god will save mankind, and even whether human beings can persist to the mother god The day I wake up is all doubts.
In the wave of prophecies called destruction that has appeared thousands of years ago, there is probably only a dead end when sitting still, and Roja wants to seize the initiative and make the last fight with the former enemy.
"Alyssa, there is something to trouble you, can you take me to the altar of Shia?"
"Yes, you can, but your elder brother, do you want to..."
Facing Alisa's probing eyes, Roja nodded gently, looking at the girl's eyes calmly and firmly:
"Well, I'm going to wake up [Six Plagues]."
