Sequence Wars: The Mythical Age is Created by Me
Chapter 16, Act 2: "The Wrathful Inferno"
[Training results have been uploaded. Rias will be logging into the Secret Realm "Wind Crown Sky" at 00:00 tomorrow.]
This mini-game requires Jiang Fan to click on enough whirlwinds within three minutes. If he fails, his [Spiral Battle Aura Lv.2] experience points will be retained, but he will need to continue training the next day.
Jiang Fan massaged his stiff fingers. This little game was really difficult; it was the kind of game that would make the developers furious if they put it in a level.
Even for a veteran player like him, he almost messed up on his first try.
So, wouldn't it be terrible if Rias encountered a gaming idiot? She'd have to wait dozens of days to level up a skill.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but think about it with a sinister feeling, and soon drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Fan was woken up by a ringing alarm at seven o'clock.
The base was to assemble at 7:20. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and pushed open the door.
Then Jiang Fan witnessed a scene that he would never forget.
I saw the corridor crowded with all sorts of "performances." Several boys, shirtless, had moved the dormitory's floor fans into the corridor, turned them on to the highest setting, and were blowing them at themselves while wrapped in blankets, as if simulating the scene of Tang swords flying in the yellow sand last night.
Some people even blindfolded themselves and tried to orient themselves by ear, but they all ended up falling backwards and kicking away the guy who had covered himself with a box to act as an assassin.
Wow, Tianhai University has so many talented people!
Jiang Fan found himself somewhat out of place, and then someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Fan, why are you only waking up now? We've been practicing for over an hour."
Hu Minghao, covered in sweat, supported his lower back with one hand.
"Are you...training?"
Jiang Fan forced himself to say the word. Could practicing like this really gain the sequence's approval?
"Of course, I can already feel my legs moving uncontrollably; I'm about to succeed."
Hu Minghao nodded earnestly.
That's a fucking muscle cramp.
"Let's go down and assemble first."
Jiang Fan silently helped the other man up. He was slightly shorter than Hu Minghao, but had a taller frame, and would appear taller if viewed alone.
The morning is for intensive training. Everyone will gather to watch videos of other successful awakening cases, as well as a simple 3-kilometer middle-distance run.
But just as everyone was preparing to leave for lunch, a noisy shouting came from the base gate.
Several blood-stained stretchers were carried in, and the instructors at the base all had serious expressions.
"What happened?"
The students huddled behind pillars in the cafeteria, whispering amongst themselves. Everyone could tell that someone was injured.
Jiang Fan's eyes flickered slightly; it seemed that the strange phenomenon near Ganshan had become stronger again.
The Song County Nine Peaks mentioned in the previous Boundless Covenant include Ganshan. Recently, more than one relic has been revived in this area, and even the Ninth Bureau has suffered uncontrollable casualties.
For the next day and a half, there was nothing else to do in the closed base. Jiang Fan trained with everyone and fed Rias the second "The Knight's Daily Sword Training".
On the third night after Jiang Fan arrived at the base.
Leaning against the bed, he turned on the game console again.
"Welcome to this war."
A cool, mixed male and female voice began to play, signaling the end of the cooldown countdown for the second act.
Jiang Fan couldn't wait to enter.
As the sound of chains breaking rang out, Rias's portrait appeared in the center of the screen.
Then came a low chanting of the Holy Spirit, and the image zoomed in with the music until it entered Rias's blood-red pupils.
Snowflakes were falling heavily, and the edge of the street was covered in mud.
"You lowly commoner, everything on Falk Street belongs to Master Wood, even the air! How dare you sleep here!"
A fat man in a fur coat was pulling at the child at his feet. Her hair was dry and her body was dull, but even so, she could be sold for a good price.
"Get out of here!"
But the beggar-like child was not afraid of him. Instead, she slammed her head against the man's head and shouted a clear voice, causing him to take a few steps back.
"What are you talking about?"
The man came to his senses. He couldn't believe that a commoner would dare to defy him. He pulled a leather whip from his pocket.
"Wait, Your Excellency, she is ill."
Nuns from the nearby church ran over and stopped the man from continuing his violence.
"Oh, does the church want to take in a sick, lowly commoner? According to doctrine, holy prayer cannot have a lowly slave present."
The man looked at the other person with ill intent. Recently, a major event had occurred in the capital. The princess who was supposed to inherit the throne and the old king were killed by the duke in the name of God. A large group of nobles were also purged, and a large group of criminals were pardoned. At this critical juncture, the church was a thorn in the side of these disaster victims.
"I'm just doing what I believe is right, Lord Freeman. I won't allow you to sell her anywhere."
The nun did not back down in the slightest.
"Miss Alice, you have already adopted more than a dozen children. The church is not an almshouse. The church cannot allow you to act so recklessly forever."
The man's face was grim.
"This is the last one."
Miss Alice repeated what she had said last time.
The man left dejectedly.
"You are... a nun."
The girl lying on the ground had eyes filled with fear and anger.
"Yes, I am Sister Alice of the Holy Cross Church, Your Highness."
The nun enveloped the girl with her emerald eyes.
"And also your...mentor."
The ethereal melody faded into the distance until the girl awoke from her dream.
[Act Two, "The Wrath of Hellfire," has begun]
Jiang Fan has regained control over Rias.
The haze on the screen gradually dissipated, and the Blood-Eyed Knight appeared on a reservoir.
But no water flowed in from upstream, and raindrops were falling from the sky.
This time, however, there are two additional value bars, which represent the ambient temperature, currently showing 37℃.
The other is Rias's mood value, which has three stages: blue, yellow, and red. She is currently at the top of the blue stage.
How can it be raining while the temperature is so high? Jiang Fan remembers that it was only the beginning of spring, and logically, there shouldn't be anywhere in Tianhai that's this hot.
[Action Points Recovery 0/6 → 6/6]
Main Quest 1: Contain the C+ Rank Relic "Rage"
Main Quest 2: Died less than 3 times (0/3)
Upon seeing the two main quests, Jiang Fan immediately sat up in bed.
Act Two looks quite challenging; there's even a death restriction.
If you want to achieve a perfect clear like you did in the first tutorial level, you'll have to take this seriously.
Suddenly, a helicopter appeared in the upper left corner of the screen, and Jiang Fan quickly controlled Rias to activate her fighting spirit and hide.
Four foreigners jumped out of the helicopter, and a "..." symbol appeared above Rias's head.
"The people of the Boundless Covenant."
The four little people jumped down and talked for a while, but Rias didn't hear them because they were too far away.
Then one of them suddenly emitted an orange light from his eyes and nose, and the next moment, that person spontaneously combusted.
