Chapter 587: Escaped the net

“Although the Abyssal Force will indeed cause considerable damage to the body, as long as it is purified in time, these injuries and aftereffects are still better than the current situation.”

Su Yuan continued, adding:

“Right now, Collei is deeply tormented by illness, at risk of dying at any moment!”

“Alright, we’ll proceed as you say, Su Yuan…” Aether thought for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, then nodded.

“It seems there’s no other way now…”

“Then, we’ll leave it in your hands, Traveler, Su Yuan!” Tighnari also bowed deeply to Su Yuan.

Immediately after, Su Yuan summoned the Foul Legacy Armament, covering his entire body, and began carefully channeling Abyssal Force into Collei, bit by bit…

Soon, everyone was delighted to see the black-and-crimson scale-like tissue covering Collei visibly receding!

Her previously hidden skin gradually began to appear…

“Great! This method works!!” Paimon exclaimed joyfully.

“Su Yuan, put in a little more effort, Collei, hang in there! Victory is right in front of us!!!”

After a while, the scale-like tissue on Collei’s body had completely disappeared.

Perhaps due to prolonged illness, Collei’s body was somewhat frail and her skin pale…

But the next moment, without warning, Collei suddenly opened her eyes and viciously attacked Su Yuan right in front of her!

“Great, Collei has woken up!”

Su Yuan dodged and defended against her attacks while calling to Aether:

“Collei doesn’t seem to have any trace of Eerie power on her right now, so she might be going mad due to the influence of the Abyssal Force!”

“It’s your turn, Aether!!!”

Seeing this, Aether didn’t hesitate at all and immediately used his miraculous ability to purify the Abyssal Force within Collei!

Finally, thanks to the outstanding coordination between Su Yuan and Aether, the traces of Abyssal Force in Collei gradually vanished, and she seemed to return to normal…

Collei staggered a few steps, then, helped by Tighnari, sat on the bed, holding her head, and groggily asked:

“Master Tighnari? Traveler? And little Paimon?”

“What… what exactly happened? How long was I unconscious?”

Afterward, everyone explained to Collei what had happened, including the Eerie presence…

“In any case, Collei, don’t worry about all these things for now. We’ll handle them,” Tighnari said with concern.

“Your primary task right now is to rest and restore your body to its best condition.”

“Mm,” Collei nodded and then asked a question: “Master, Traveler, Su Yuan, what do you think my Eerie state rules would have been?”

“Uh… Collei, I honestly don’t know how to answer that…” Aether scratched his head, unsure what to say.

“I suppose if it were you, Collei, maybe it’s something related to mushrooms?” Su Yuan said thoughtfully, remembering Collei’s character profile mentioned that she hated mushrooms.

“Eh? I didn’t expect you to think the same as me, Su Yuan! Collei really does hate mushrooms!” Tighnari nodded in agreement.

“Well, now that Collei’s situation has been resolved so smoothly, we should continue our journey to Natlan.”

Su Yuan knew clearly this wasn’t the time to linger; getting to the Night God’s nation of Natlan to retrieve the hints from his left palm was critical…

“Oh, right, Mr. Tighnari!”

Kirara suddenly seemed to remember something and pulled a file folder from her bag, handing it to Tighnari.

“This is an academic document sent from Inazuma to the Sumeru Academia, which I was supposed to deliver personally…”

“But given the current situation in Sumeru City, it’s obviously not possible for me to do so…”

“So, may I temporarily leave this package with you, Mr. Tighnari?”

“Since I’ll be leading Su Yuan, the Traveler, and Paimon to Natlan, who knows what dangers we might encounter, and it would be terrible if this academic document were damaged!”

“Of course that’s fine, Kirara.”

Tighnari smiled and nodded, then took the academic parcel.

He skimmed the label and said:

“Kirara, actually I can sign for this delivery myself…”

“The recipient is Naphis, the Sage of the Amurta at the Akademiya… and he happens to be my mentor.”

“When I studied under him, I signed for quite a few of his packages.”

“Oh, if that’s the case, that’d be perfect!” Kirara said happily.

“Then my job here is done.”

Tighnari’s brow tightened again as he added, “I just wonder what the situation in Sumeru City and the Akademiya is like now…”

“Is my teacher all right…?”

After that, Su Yuan and Aether said their goodbyes to Tighnari, Collei, and the other rangers of Gandharva Ville, then followed Kirara as they resumed their journey toward Natlan.

They walked along the main road with Kirara until they reached a fork.

Looking north from there, the silhouette of Sumeru City could be just made out…

Although they weren’t especially close, everyone felt a thick, ominous aura drifting from that direction.

“So Sumeru City really has fallen completely?” Paimon swallowed nervously as she stared toward the city.

“How exactly did it fall?”

“Have all the people inside been taken over by the Eerie force?”

“If that’s true, it’s terrifying.”

“Paimon, let’s not dwell on such upsetting thoughts—let’s keep moving,” Kirara said.

At that moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of Su Yuan and his party and blocked the road.

“Oh? There are still some who slipped through the net?”

“Brothers, go! Seize them!”
