Night World Players

Chapter 174: Battle of Broken Coast, Cleared
In the hazy sky, the night broke silently.

It enveloped Rast, making his body ethereal and transparent, and carried him away from the historical echoes of the Sixth Epoch.

Heading towards the other end of the long river of history, that illusory other side.

In the increasingly dark night and the gradually fading consciousness, Last saw lines of azure text slowly flowing through his mind.

[Night World Quest - "Echoes of the Era: Battle of the Broken Coast" has been cleared]

[Current mission rating: EX]

[The rewards for this night's world quest have been distributed]

[Sequence Experience Points Already Issued]

Your Arcana Sequence is: "Tower"

[Your status level is: 59 (fifth level)]

[Since your level has reached the limit of the current tier, the excess sequence experience has been stored]

Based on your journey through this historical reverberation, the emblem costume you obtained in this night world has been recast and upgraded.

Your coat of arms, "The Unfinished Fairytale Book," has been elevated to "Poems of the Distant Past."

Your emblem, "Winged Emblem of the Betrayer," has been upgraded to "Crest of the Fire Thief."

[Your inherent skill "Iron Heart" has been upgraded to "Iron Heart Dome"]

……

This is a world shrouded in eternal night. There is no sun or moon, and no light from the stars. Only the endless dark night has become the main theme of this world.

And Rast sank into the silent night, feeling the soft veil of night falling on his body, slowly healing his injuries in a "retrospective" way.

Because of the inherent skill "Origin of Destiny" that he obtained from Gray and which cannot be actively canceled, Last's body has a resistance to time and destiny-related skills far beyond that of ordinary people, and can even be completely immune within a certain limit.

It was precisely because of this passive ability that Last was able to completely gain the upper hand in the battle between him and Gray in the Royal City Scripture, facing the gray-haired girl who was the darling of fate.

Gray's trump cards - "The World Stands Still" and "Time Rewind", these almost shameless supermodel skills, completely lost their effectiveness when facing Last, and he defeated her easily.

However, as a double-edged sword inherent skill, "Origin of Destiny" turned its original advantage into a disadvantage when Last was seriously injured and needed to rely on "backtracking" abilities for treatment.

Not to mention that Gray's healing had no effect on him at all, even the repairs that were like daily benefits in the Night World, which were given to every night traveler who completed a mission and returned, had little effect on Last.

The same serious injuries with broken internal organs and on the verge of death... Ordinary night travelers would have been cured by now and recovered as before, but for Rast, it was only able to barely maintain his life and prevent him from dying.

"It seems that when I return to the real world, I will have to stay in the hospital bed at Star University for a while."

"But the same thing happened once before, so the school hospital should be used to it."

"I heard from Dean Yin that to prevent the occurrence of a case where the Night World can't be cured, the school hospital has hired a night blade named 'Ghost Chaser of the Underworld,' who claims to be willing to save any living being, even a god... It seems I won't be staying in bed for much longer."

"By the way, it seems Axia also has a "doctor" label."

The sound of his mumbling echoed in the veil of eternal night, and Rast couldn't help but smile.

He never forgot that his first encounter with the girl with long ice-blue hair happened on the sickbed of the Star University Hospital.

But I didn't expect that the chance meeting in the hospital at that time... would become the starting point of everything, involving a magnificent and dreamy fairy tale and all the subsequent events.

Recalling the little things they had experienced together, Rast couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.

Although the process was a bit tortuous and bumpy, at least the ending was quite good.

In any case, he had managed to rescue that girl from the abyss, writing the ending he had hoped for for that unfinished fairy tale. His efforts and the countless times he had faced life-or-death situations were not in vain.

Moreover, at the end of this historical reverberation, the future belonging to the Sixth Epoch civilization also made Last look forward to it.

In the dark day of that night, Leader Sissel single-handedly dragged four legends to be buried with him.

After the Battle of the Broken Coast, there will be no more legends walking the earth throughout the Sixth Age.

Of course, even without the leadership of the legendary king, the beast tides in the deep sea, as well as the rampant Iron Cross and evil cults, still pose a great threat to humanity.

But Last believed that as long as Grey grew up and truly ascended to the throne of legend, all these difficulties and obstacles might not be insurmountable in the face of the power of "fate".

Having inherited Cecil and her own timeless knowledge, and possessing eyes that can see through fate... Gray might be able to lead the people of the Sixth Epoch to a rapid rise, catching up with the technological level of the present world in a very short time.

Even more, it may not be impossible to surpass the current technological level and enter the real future era.

Indeed, according to the current understanding of the night world, the Sixth Epoch is an epoch that has already been destroyed, and no matter what the people of the Sixth Epoch did, the end of destruction was already predetermined... But that is, after all, just a guess, not a firm conclusion.

What's more, Last suspected that what he traveled through was real history... Since it was the real past and not an illusion, the future outcome might not be set in stone, and there was also the possibility of a parallel world.

Under Grey's leadership, the civilization of the Sixth Epoch may truly be able to step into a broader future.

"If I had wandered around Deep Blue Harbor in the past, I probably wouldn't have felt this much relief and joy after completing my mission and achieving my goal."

Rast felt the relief and satisfaction overflowing in his heart and uttered a silent whisper.

This was indeed a feeling he had never had before. After achieving a short-term goal, he should immediately move on to the next plan. Extra emotions were just a meaningless waste of energy. This was the principle that Last believed in during the Deep Blue Harbor time loop.

However, after joining Starry University and encountering and witnessing countless people and events in both the real world and the night world...

The young man who used to live like a machine, with a heart driven by gears and like a steam furnace core, has indeed changed, even though Last himself did not notice this transformation at first.

"If I see Xiao Ai again now, she probably won't have to worry about my mental state anymore."

Thinking of this, Rast couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

The anticipation of returning to the border town called "Canaan" where the melodious sound of bagpipes floats in the air.

However, before going to Canaan, he still needs to take stock of the gains from this journey through the Night World.

Rast's mind moved slightly.

The next moment, lines of brand new azure text unfolded before his eyes.

Poems from the distant past

[Category: Heraldic Costume]

[Introduction: This is the unfinished fairy tale. After a new ending was written in blood on the blank last page, the new emblem dress was sublimated and completed.

Engraved in this old volume are fairy tales from long ago, and even poems from the past. Even though the pages have long since turned yellow, the spirit engraved in the fairy tales remains as bright as ever.

Even if you are in the abyss, you must chase after that fleeting light, and risk your life to pursue your own happiness and beauty...

This fiery emotion belonging to a certain girl has never faded even after spanning an entire era, and still shines brightly like a diamond.

[Effect of the Gift: The words written on this book will have a certain probability of being fully reflected in the real world, and the stories written on it will be woven into reality.]

[Note: The actual probability of this emblem taking effect when used will vary depending on a number of factors, including the difficulty of the written content, environmental restrictions, the writer's status, mental strength, and the status of the affected target.]
