Everything happened exactly as predicted in the diary, and Charles was about to be killed by the arc of light.
There was no fear in his mind now, he was still thinking about saving himself, but the arc of light did not give him time.
"Swish~!" The giant net instantly came in front of him, and the rocks around him that were one level taller than Charles began to be quickly cut into gravel by the arc light. He was now in a deadly situation, and he was completely finished.
Just as the huge silver net covered Charles' head, Lily, who was standing on his shoulders, quickly climbed to his head, stretched out her limbs, and pounced towards the huge silver net.
As soon as the two came into contact, there was a sudden "Wow!"
The gentle sunlight swallowed everything, the floating island, the pink eyeball, and Charles and his crew.
In the dazzling light, Charles did not feel the separation from his body, and the crisis was resolved by the sunlight.
The smell of sunshine slowly filled his nostrils, this light was sunshine.
Charles struggled to stand up, holding his aching stomach, and shouted loudly in the bright light: "Lily!! Lily!!!"
But there was no response from the surroundings. The sound seemed to disappear from all around. After a few minutes, the bright light in front of my eyes gradually dissipated.
The dazed crew members stood there in a daze. They were not killed by the sunlight, not even the three vampires. The previous sunlight was obviously completely different from ordinary sunlight.
The three giant eyeballs in the air have disappeared, and the receding darkness gradually returns to the sky again.
But Charles didn't have time for this, he was looking for Lily, and Lily was gone.
"Lily!!" Charles' voice trembled, and a trace of fear appeared on his face.
"Mr. Charles..." a thin and familiar voice came from a distance.
The moment Charles heard the voice, he stumbled forward.
He found Lily in a pile of rubble. The golden glow on her body had disappeared, her fur had become very dull, and dark red blood was oozing from her fur.
Charles picked her up gently with his trembling hands. Lily's body was very fragile, as if it had turned into wet paper and would break at the slightest touch.
"Mr. Charles... it hurts... it hurts so much..." Lily's voice was tinged with tears.
"It's okay, let's go back, we'll go back now, it won't hurt when we get back." Charles said, then turned to the other crew members and said, "Let's go! Go down now!!"
After he finished speaking, he first looked down at his naked body, and when he found there was no place to store it, he carefully stuffed Lily into his mouth.
The next second, his body quickly transformed into a bat monster, and he quickly left the devastated floating island with the crew members who jumped onto his back.
Without the enemy's obstruction, Charles easily descended to the ground.
Without having time to pay attention to the crew members guarding the ship who had surrounded him, Charles quickly spat out Lily from his mouth and rushed to the medical room with Linda.
In the bright medical room, Charles nervously watched Linda using various equipment to examine the little mouse's body.
When everything was over, Linda soaked her right hand in a bottle of clear liquid, and then reached directly to Lily's slightly heaving chest.
Under the shocked gazes of the crew around her, her fingers easily merged into Lily's body, gently stroking and examining the organs inside.
"You have also integrated into the relic?! Why haven't I heard of it? When?" Odric asked nervously.
"Two months ago, I saw that the special abilities within the institute were very useful in healing, so I took the essence from his body and put it in mine."
Odrick wanted to say something, but when he saw the gloomy look from Charles beside him, he rationally closed his mouth. Now was not the time to talk about this.
After carefully moving her fingers around inside Lily, Linda pulled them out from between her hairs.
"Like I told you before, Lily is no longer an ordinary mouse. Her body structure is different from that of an ordinary human. Generally speaking, she should have died long ago since her ventricle is ruptured."
"But you see, it still has consciousness. I guess the undetectable energy in her body is the key, which is the power of the God of Light you mentioned."
Charles breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least Lily would not die.
He walked up to Lily, stroked her little head gently, and said softly: "It's okay, you will get better soon."
Lily's furry face showed a difficult smile, "Mr. Charles... Actually, I heard what the monster sister said to you before."
"She's right. My body is a powerful tool in itself. For everyone else, I don't care."
Charles felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at Linda next to him. "Try to make her feel comfortable."
"I see. This is just to give her some pain medication. You all can get out. There's nothing to see."
Charles walked out of the medical room and came to the deck, looking straight at the darkness in the distance that was gradually shrouded in purple mist.
The Narwhal was retreating, returning to the Giant Pit Fortress.
This exploration has come to an end, and it can be said that it was a fruitful journey, and it was of great help in finding darkness.
But Charles did not relax at all. The situation was becoming more and more complicated between the Foundation, the strange creatures on the surface, and the gods of the Hek tribe.
"What was that just now? You have such a powerful ability, why didn't you use it before?"
Piper wriggled its weird, squirming body out of the dirt below, and it didn't look like it had gotten very far.
Charles's eyes did not leave the darkness in the distance in front of him. "That kind of power is very unstable and not so easy to use."
After twisting his mouthparts slightly, Piper said, "Give it to us. We may be able to make a weapon out of that energy. Something that can repel the gods is a resource we desperately need. It will be of great help to our next move."
"Absolutely not!" Charles refused firmly.
"Charles, my followers have given me information about you, including your character and everything about you."
"But now is the critical moment to save the entire Earth Sea. Please put away your temper. As the current person in power, you must rationally analyze the importance of the matter."
Charles shook his head. "Lily can also save Earthsea if she stays by my side. Besides, are you really sure that you can control the power of the God of Light? I doubt it."
Piper twisted her body, suspending her huge, earthy-smelling mouthparts right in front of Charles.
"Maybe you don't understand us, but we are much stronger than you think."
"Powerful? Then who was the one who just escaped? Since you are so powerful, why don't you take the darkness back directly?"
"If you can really bring darkness back to Earthsea, not to mention Lily, even if you can make all the people in Earthsea become your believers, I will fully support you!!"
