Chapter 4039 The Second Year of 3030
The long-haired girl didn't talk much with Shad tonight. She was also considering that Shad was already very tired. Since Adele had already said it, she didn't say anything more.
However, Luvia was quite supportive of Adele teaching Shad the extraordinary technique of "Life Regeneration":
"Although I didn't stay in the post-apocalyptic era for very long, I did learn about this magical technique. It's true that life will always find a way out for itself, no matter when it happens."
"I also currently possess a spell called [Life Ray], which can project life energy. These two spells can be used together, but I'm not sure what the purpose of this energy projection is. It's unlikely that undead creatures will appear in Arcadia City anytime soon, right? Perhaps I can go with Grace and Helen next time they go to check on the seal of the [Gap Between Life and Death]."
The Life Spark and the Twisted Life Spark are like water and ink, not water and fire. This power can't help me fight the monsters born from the spark. If I dared to use it, it would probably only make them stronger.
Xia De added that the long-haired girl's experience and knowledge far surpassed that of the outsider:
“Power has meaning as long as it exists. The essence of this spell is to release life energy directly from within the body. You might consider what the leakage of life energy can do, rather than who this ray can kill.”
"Is this actually a therapeutic ray?"
Her purple eyes looked at him with a smile:
“That is indeed one use. So, Shad, now, can you use your ‘Life Ray’ to heal me?”
"Luvia, what's wrong?"
Shad lowered his head and asked, his purple eyes drawing ever closer:
"I feel a little hot."
That night, Luvia did not enter Shad's dream again. Instead, she chose to complete the work that her real self had not finished that night in this world of swirling yellow sand.
But this time, instead of the familiar rooftop, they went to the sofa in the living room on the second floor, which made Shad feel extremely guilty, as he had been intimate with Adele "here" not long ago.
"You've hugged Adele here, so why can't you hug me? Shad, I thought you'd always planned to hug both of us someday~"
The long-haired girl in my dream always says things that I wouldn't say in reality.
Her willingness to leave the rooftop and venture into other areas of the dream was, in Shad's view, a very good sign. It at least indicated that she no longer felt as lonely and helpless as she had at the beginning.
Shad had a very fulfilling Friday night. He first went to Mr. Cops' place, then went to Arcadia City because of news about the leather item. After returning, he activated the black key and defeated the evil creature. After resting with Luvia, he went to see the long-haired girl.
This resulted in Shad taking at least ten seconds to fully recall everything that happened the previous night after waking up with Luvia in his arms early Saturday morning.
"With Adele, Megan, and Bella all by Vigo's side today, I don't need to worry. Let's stay in Topsk for the day."
As Shad thought this, he could already hear Mia's meowing sounds as she woke up. Soon, Winnie's distinctive footsteps could be heard in the kitchen. After leaving the snowy mountain area, she always made a rustling sound like falling snowflakes when she walked around the house—this was Winnie's characteristic.
"Luvia, wake up."
Shad paused for a moment before softly speaking to the girl in his arms. Luvia hummed softly, then sleepily opened her eyes and looked at Shad. From this angle, her purple eyes were even more captivating than before.
"Let me sleep a little longer, it's Saturday after all~"
"Didn't you say last night that you were going to do your morning exercise this morning?"
Shad joked again, and Luvia rubbed her face against Shad's arm:
"Alright then, I..."
She was about to crawl under the covers when Xia De grabbed her arm.
"Just kidding, get up, Winnie is already preparing breakfast. Even on Saturdays, you have to get up on time."
"But Shad, I'm not kidding. My back is still a little sore, so let's leave it at that for now. Hmm, you're really energetic."
Luvia was also in high spirits this morning, and when she greeted Winnie with a good morning, the corners of her mouth were turned up. While Luvia went to wash up, Shad took the goat milk and newspaper and then went to talk to Winnie in the kitchen.
Please don't disturb me while I'm making breakfast.
The maid spoke with a smile, but did not refuse a hug from behind from Xia De.
Although the scene at the Bloodstained Factory might affect his appetite, Shad wanted to tell the girls about his adventure at breakfast, so he prepared to head to the past before Winnie finished making breakfast.
He carefully checked the active metals and the spellcasting materials needed by the three witches. Luvia and Mia, who walked with a cat-like gait, came to room number two on the second floor to see Shad off.
Although the cat hadn't eaten breakfast yet, it still wanted to follow Shad on the adventure. But this time, the [Bloodstained Factory] was a special case; the environmental distortions of flesh and blood were so severe that even high-ranking witches couldn't withstand them. Shad certainly wouldn't take Mia with him; he didn't want Mia to develop strange tumors or tentacles on her body.
“I’ll keep an eye on it. You should hurry back. Be careful of that halfling witch you mentioned. The Eye of the Demon Club in our time has already shown suspicious behavior. Witches who use similar powers to them in the Fifth Age may not necessarily be trustworthy allies.”
As Luvia hugged Shad, she reminded him, and Shad nodded, then squatted down and patted Mia's little head again:
"Dinner will be served soon, wait for me to come back."
"Meow~"
The cat wasn't very happy, but thankfully it stood at Luvia's feet and didn't follow. Shad waved to Luvia again, then picked up the suitcase containing her belongings and inserted the cracked key into the bedroom door lock.
May the World Tree protect me through endless time.
Click~
Turning the key, Shad stepped into the familiar white fog gate. In the thick fog, he took deep breaths to calm himself as he walked towards the archway.
[A message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Autumn of the Fifth Era, 3030, Southern Continent, Bloodstained Factory.]
[Event: The birth of a newborn.]
[Duration: 40 minutes → 80 minutes (2/3)]
You have received additional information.
The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree watches over you.
The ancient god of time has given you a test.
[Assisting the old god "One-Armed Prince" in the birth of new life.]
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will reward you with: the Arcane Art - Veil of Night, and the Divine Art Contract - Dragon Maid Contract.]
The mission time was the same as the first time I came; eighty minutes was enough to do a lot of things, which was an advantage of finding the real entrance to the "Time Corridor".
The thick white fog dissipated slowly to both sides like a stage curtain. When the stench of blood emerged, as expected, Xia De found himself once again tied to the blood collection bed in the familiar "blood collection workshop".
Although the location was definitely different from last time, Xia De breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the "initial location" was still the same type of factory.
Having learned from his previous experience, he was no longer interested in anything happening around him. Without observing the increasingly agitated mummies or checking if tumors were growing on the ceiling again, Shad simply got up, broke free of his restraints, and quickly ran towards the nearest door.
He was preoccupied with Gina's situation, worried about the story behind the halfling witch Linor Bradvi, and wondered what the old witch, Mrs. Gustav, would do if she knew that a traitor of the thirteenth ring level had appeared in the [Church of Creation] in later generations.
As he pondered these things, he reached for the door and extended his hand toward the doorknob, but just as he was about to touch it, he stopped and looked at the door in surprise:
"Hmm? Why can I sense life force coming from this door?"
[Flesh and blood material.]
"She" said with a smile, confirming Shad's judgment. Shad, looking at the rust and scratches on the door, mentally warned himself to be extremely careful in this eerie place. Then, without turning back to look at the increasingly strange noises behind him, he threw a chaotic fireball forward.
"Remnants of chaos!"
He had used this spell a few days ago when constructing his body using the "Spark Source" as the core. Although the spell did not change as a result, that experience unexpectedly made Shad discover that mixing a portion of his own consciousness and mental power into the spell in the form of simulated flames could make the spell more powerful.
The spinning fireball was the same size as before, but its power had increased significantly. With a deafening roar that shook the ground, the "iron gate" was hit and blasted into a pile of minced meat.
The wall less than two steps away from the iron gate has also had its simulated flesh and blood stripped away, revealing the real door hidden behind the flesh and blood.
The gaze from behind grew stronger, and the loud thumping of his heart became clearer. Xia De stopped fighting against the things that were still writhing and reassembling after being blown up, reached out and opened the door, then went inside.
The door closed behind them, and in the brand-new room, the three witches huddled in the "sanctuary" looked over together.
When Shad left last time, the witches were preparing the materials needed for the furnace in the "Forge of Life" room. Although Shad defeated the Mimic Room before leaving and obtained the fuel [Blood Essence of All Things] to start the furnace, they were still lacking many things.
This time, the room is clearly no longer the "Forge of Life" room. It seems that the witches have completed the forging of the second forge and are on a new exploration.
