Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 894 876. Crusade against Yousu (3000)

 “Get down here!”

 Before Lan En could figure out the situation, Leonard, who was watching the development from the outside, seemed to be anxious.

He patted the thick armor of the Winged Knights with a "clang, clatter" and squeezed in, then dragged Lan En under the bed.

 Lan En didn’t feel any danger at all, so he followed Leonard’s strength and got out of bed.

It was only then that he realized where he was lying.

  Touched the back of his head, Lan En made no comment.

 The goddess looked a little more lively than before, as she was immersed in her own sad world.

"It seems you're fine. Here's your sword."

 A winged knight held Lan En's [Turbid Current·Destruction] in his hands and handed it to him.

 It's just that she has no tongue now and can't speak.

“The profound power should have followed all the infected people, even those who came into contact and heard it.”

 “You heard this voice that night.”

After the two exchanged greetings, the Winged Knight suddenly turned his head in the direction of the goddess Rosalia, as if he was waiting for instructions.

But looking at Rosalia’s subconsciously opened lips under the black veil, you can tell that she is still used to speaking to the people in front of her in person.

"Please bow to the goddess and let me explain it."

"The goddess is very surprised. You seem to be different from ordinary humans, even the gods. The erosion of Yousui is far from powerful."

 This is the posture he has seen other believers, or Leonard, when meeting the goddess.

　　His tone changed from casual to serious as he spoke to Lan En.

That should be the profound knowledge that is pursued as one’s horizons improve.

 “You have been infected with the darkness.”

Moreover, he was the only one of the three knights holding a huge and powerful halberd. He was slapped by Eldridge and flew to the other side of the church without any injuries. He looked very fierce.

"That is the darkness that cannot be burned by fire. Because fire can only burn [fuel] and suppress the shadows produced by the burning, but cannot destroy the shadows. Therefore, in Eldridge's body, only the darkness is still as it was in its heyday. "

Lann glanced blankly between the Winged Knight and Rosalia on the bed.

 But Lan En, the Winged Knight, and the goddess herself were all very calm.

"Yeah?"

 Lan En patted the shoulder armor of the opposite winged knight, and the metal armor made a clanging sound.

"That's me." The Winged Knight flapped his wings, as if to show off to Lan En. "Look, I told you. I'm going to become an angel."

To be honest, even with the physique of a Winged Knight, the shape of this sword is exaggerated.

 The Winged Knight stood beside him, as if acting as a middleman, conveying information between humans and gods.

 Sure enough.

“That’s why the goddess can use [sunlight nourishment] to suppress those shadows.”

 “The goddess has something to say to you.”

 Then he put aside the [turbid current and destruction] in his hand, walked to the bed, knelt down on one knee, and raised his right hand upwards.

  【Sunshine Moisture】.Is this the name of the 【Great Miracle】 just now?

Lann’s thoughts did not affect the Winged Knight’s narration.

 But as [Spiritual Vision] improved, Lan En also felt that there was something dark and deep entrenched in the deeper parts of his field of vision.

Getting a glimpse into Eldridge's essence has really evolved him.

 Lan En thought to himself.

The Winged Knight's irritating words immediately made Leonard, who was watching, so nervous that he grasped the handle of the crescent curved sword at his waist.

Rather than having to deal with the Nergigant like the original struggle: after struggling with the Nergigant many times and making many holes in it as observation samples, the internal energy routes could be seen through.

Its functionality is absolutely perfect, even better than before.

 “Congratulations then.”

Lan En nodded and thanked him, then seemed to feel something and looked at him seriously.

Now he has achieved his wish and become an angel warrior with wings.

Based on the current [spiritual vision] level back then, he estimated that he would be able to see the dragon jade on their body if he met an ancient dragon he had never seen before in the New World.

 The Winged Knight continued.

 One of the reasons why he acted a little confused after waking up was because he was feeling his [spiritual vision].

This Winged Knight is the maggot man who came to talk to Lan En the night he joined the convoy.

Seeing this, Linbuqiu stood on Qilin’s back and bared his teeth at him.

Far beyond all the descriptions of recovery [miracles] in books. What kind of magnificent, gentle and loving story is it?

 “If you want to completely remove the darkness from your eyes, go and defeat Eldridge.”

"Now we are still far away from the terrible era in his prophecy - the age of the deep sea. The darkness cannot yet be called the 'deep sea', or even the 'abyss', but only the 'deep'."

"So as long as you attack Eldridge, you will have no influence."

 Lan En lowered his head, and Mentos was conducting a series of intelligence summaries and logical arrangements in his mind.

 ‘Yousui’ is not the name of a certain power, but the name of a certain power that has developed to its primary stage.

 If the situation continues to deteriorate in the future, the flames dim, and the darkness expands and accumulates, then the "deep" will turn into an "abyss" and then enter the "deep sea age" that Eldridge once predicted.

 In the final analysis, it still takes [fire] to contain the darkness.

 It really fits the way this world was born.

 In short, if you want to get rid of the darkness entrenched in the depths of his [spiritual vision], you must kill Eldridge completely.

 Damn it, [Xinwang] is indeed the fulcrum that continues the world. Just seeing that essence made him completely involved. Lan En curled his lips secretly.

But he raised his head, brushed the silver hair that had fallen down from his forehead to the side, and looked at the goddess sitting down on the bed.

“Thank you for informing me. Now I at least have a clear goal. But why.”

 Lan En's eyes were a little confused.

Rosalía has been so deeply immersed in her own sorrow that Eldridge was about to eat her just now, but she was indifferent.

 Why did you tell yourself so much this time?

The winged knight next to him stopped talking. Lan En turned around and looked over, and found that the guy with whom he had a good chat was scratching his helmet at this time, as if he didn't know anything.

So Lan En simply tentatively made a hand seal towards Rosalia.

 Variant [Yaxsi Sign]—two-way communication.

Rosalia's originally lowered head raised slightly, as if she felt this mental connection.

 “You make me a little nostalgic.”

Just like the face under the black gauze, the gentle and warm female voice penetrated Lan En's heart.

 Soon, there are some mental memories.

　　On that extremely heroic and huge battlefield, in that era when there were still many gods.

 Lan En saw two extremely powerful warriors!

 They seem to be father and son, tall, strong, majestic, and both have white hair.

The father among them wears a towering crown, and on his muscular arm is a brilliant throwing spear made of golden thunder.

 And the son held up a huge golden sword and spear, which also gathered golden thunder.

Although this memory is just a static picture, the unparalleled strength, persistence and will of these two people seem to be gushing out through their beards and pores!

 It’s even enough to make the viewer shiver!

"The way you commanded Thunder and the way you protected me makes me miss you."

The gentle voice continued.

“It’s been so long and I’m so grateful that you allowed me to reminisce about those long-ago days. In these difficult days, memories are especially precious.”

 The goddess on the bed silently bowed to the witcher in front of her.

 This is Rosalia's gratitude.

 The others didn’t know what they said, they just looked at Lan En and the goddess who didn’t speak inexplicably.

It is not difficult to communicate with the goddess, even to make the goddess who has lost her tongue use magic or miracles to make meaningful sounds.

 It’s just that the goddess has refused to communicate with people before.

"You are a noble knight, Lann. There is nothing more righteous than standing up to the darkness to protect something."

 The goddess continued.

 “But the end has come unexpectedly”

“It’s time for you to go, Lan En. Go and solve your problem, the darkness peeking out of your eyes. In this way, even if the abyss is rampant in the world in the future, your specialness will allow you to survive for a while longer.”

 “I bless you, knight.”

Speaking inwardly, Rosalia's hand stretched out from under the long black veil and gently placed it on Lan En's raised right hand.

　　It will be closed at the touch of a button.

 The witcher suddenly raised his head.

 But on that bed, the goddess had returned to her original appearance, and seemed unwilling to have any communication with anyone.

 “Let’s end the visit here, Rosalia is already tired.”

The Winged Knight stretched out his hand to block the bed, signaling not to disturb the goddess again.

 Lan En doesn’t bother much either.

He just kept looking at the goddess who lowered her head again, stood up slowly, and exited the bedroom.

 Only three winged knights and the goddess were left in the room, and the huge door was closed again.

Lan En looked away from the door, took the flannel ball off the Qilin's back, and rubbed its helmet.

 “Thank you, flannel ball. You were quite fierce just now!”

Although Lan En didn’t think that Leonard would actually draw the sword at that time, he was still very grateful that the flannel ball bared his teeth at Leonard to protect him.

 “This is what it should be, meow! I am a follower cat!”

 Flannel ball held up his helmet a little embarrassedly.

After placing it and Qilin aside, Lan walked over to Leonard.

This goddess knight is still standing beside the closed door frame, with her back leaning against the door frame and her arms folded across her chest.

Looking at Lan En coming, he was the first to speak out under the silver mask.

 “What did you and Rosalia say at the end?”

"At least we just had the same enemy." Lan En did not answer first, but spread his hands, "Can't you be more polite? It's like an interrogation."

“If you also want to communicate with the goddess, I can think of a way for you.”

 “Heh.” Leonard sneered indifferently.

"If I really want to talk to the goddess, there are many ways. I just don't want the goddess to be hurt anymore."

 “For this reason, you have to be more prepared.”

 “Even if it’s me?”

Lan En opened his arms to show that he was harmless.

 Leonard choked and said, "Especially you!"

“Bringing back other people’s precious memories, in this hopeless world...heh, I really can’t think of anything more cruel than this.”
