Skadi, returning to infinity

The temperature was slowly dropping, but a stuffy, suffocating feeling came over me.

Skadi jumped slightly and flew into the air.

After watching the magma in the ring-shaped abyss below cease its activity, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll give you my last bit of strength."

The three swords each contain different celestial and myriad forces.

Stars, the moon, and the sun.

Skadi's holy sword had lost its luster, with only 10% of its energy remaining.

She knew that even if she didn't use the last 10%, the already activated holy sword would still consume energy until it finally turned into light and dissipated.

So she raised the holy sword, turned around, and faced the Dragon Gate.

"From this day forward, I hope that Lungmen will shoulder the responsibility of protecting this land."

"Just as I protect you."

"Do not be afraid of powerful enemies, nor need you be afraid of death."

"Even if we die, heroes will continue to emerge one after another."

So, remember this day...

Skadi's voice, like a song, reached Lungmen, and then a divine light shone from her body.

Then, Skadi herself turned into "light" and completely disappeared into the world.

Countless rays of light fell upon the ravaged earth.

A vibrant life force spread across the land, with blades of grass appearing on the ground.

Trees rose from the ground, slowly growing to a height of about one meter before stopping.

This seems to be telling everyone that we should protect these trees so that they can grow strong and healthy.

Dark clouds surged in the sky, as if the whole world was weeping for the disappearance of the girl who had protected Lungmen with everything she had.

The rain fell outside Longmen, making the newly grown trees lush and green.

The rain fell inside the Dragon Gate, giving the people who had just recovered a much-needed boost, like rain after a long drought.

The raindrops fell on Kal'tsit's face, and she couldn't tell if she was crying or just getting wet.

What's wrong with me?

He reached out and touched the raindrops on his face.

She watched as Skadi vanished into light, and even though she didn't want to believe it, she had to accept that Skadi was probably dead.

This is a fact.

"What's wrong with me..." She lowered her head, the rain soaking her completely.

But she stood motionless on the street.

She was lost and didn't know where to go.

Should we wait here for Skadi to return, or go back to Kazdel?

"Are you going to break your promise and leave Theresa and me to bear that future?"

"Skadi".

Muttering to herself, biting her lower lip, Kal'tsit's tone was filled with resentment and sorrow.

Why did you disappear before my eyes...? I've already lost so much...

"Why did I have to see it with my own eyes...? Why...?"

She didn't know what to do, and just stood there.

The rain was getting heavier, and she questioned him in the rain.

But no one could answer, and no one could hear.

"Tap tap~" A few footsteps came, and two red umbrellas quietly sheltered her.

Kal'tsit spotted a pair of white knee-high boots, similar to Skadi's.

Skadi, now dressed in a different outfit, appeared before her, holding an umbrella in one hand and gently stroking her face with the other.

"Don't cry, you'll look ugly if you keep crying..."

Upon hearing this voice, Kal'tsit suddenly opened her arms and rushed into the arms of the girl in front of her.

Skadi's face was full of tenderness; even someone as strong as Kal'tsit has a vulnerable side.

“Good boy, let’s go back, back to Kazdel, back to His Highness’s side.”

The umbrella fell to the ground, and Skadi stayed with her in the rain, holding Kal'tsit's body and whispering in her ear.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Kal'tsit finally emerged from her embrace.

By this time, she had regained her composure.

“Go back to Kazdel, I know you have a way.”

With a mischievous smile, Skadi reached out and picked her up in a princess carry.

“Of course, my dear Princess Kal'tsit, let me take you home now.”

Her voice was very gentle, the kind that Kal'tsit had never heard before.

"Don't let anyone see." Kal'tsit's voice was very soft as she unconsciously wrapped her arms around Skadi's slender, fair neck.

I don't know if she was genuinely shy or if she was enjoying the feeling.

"Of course, my dear princess."

After Skadi finished speaking, she picked up Kal'tsit and flew directly into the sky, disappearing into Lungmen under the rain.

As for that legend, let it be passed down slowly.

She will arrive at the right time someday in the future.

PS: There will be more updates tonight, still more than five chapters.

Chapter 46: Sleep, sleep in my arms, my princess.

Skadi barely spoke during the journey from Lungmen to Kazdel while carrying Kal'tsit.

Kal'tsit initially looked down at the surroundings with great interest, filled with curiosity and wonder at viewing the land from such a height.

The psychology of the search.

But gradually, I don't know if it was because too much time had passed, or because I was mentally exhausted from worrying too much about Skadi.

After struggling for a while, Kal'tsit nestled in Skadi's arms and fell asleep.

"Sweetheart, go to sleep."

Even while she was asleep, Kal'tsit didn't put her hand down.

He simply changed from putting his arms around her neck to putting them around her waist, and then rested his head on her chest.

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

He whispered something in her ear, and then Skadi looked up at the front.

Only then did she have time to let the system list the tasks she had completed and the results she had achieved.

[The agent has slain the Crimson Wrathful Beast, completing the SSS-rank unique special mission, "Guarding the Dragon Gate"; and received the reward for defeating the Crimson Wrathful Beast.]

[SSS-Rank Unique Special Mission: Guarding Lungmen: Protect Lungmen from destruction by the SSS-rank Originium Beast, the Crowned Wrathful Beast]

To prevent anyone from dying from the Wrathful Crown's attack.

They will survive.

Ten consecutive draws.

Type-A damage. Increases damage dealt to all entities that threaten the continent of Terra by 50%. —You are the guardian of Terra, you must protect everything on Terra.

If you fail to meet this requirement, you will no longer be able to bear the glory that this title brings, and you will lose this title.

Skadi continued reading, and upon seeing the title "Guardian of Terra," her eyes widened slightly.

"Does one need to constantly protect Terra to earn this title?"

"The effect is very strong. It seems I did not make a mistake."

High damage immunity and a fixed 50% damage increase—she knew very well that the buffs from this title were all multiplicative.

This also means that even if she uses the 10x Kaioken, the damage she deals will increase by 50%.

是1000%*50%+1000%=1500%，而不是1000%+50%。

It's easy to imagine how much this buff will improve Skadi's performance in future battles.

Not to mention her high damage immunity, which, combined with her powerful recovery ability, makes her practically invincible on the field.

Well, now that my physical strength and vitality have been restored to a high level, I should also find a way to restore and enhance my overall energy.
