Boonie Bears: Another World Fantasy

Serafina didn't say anything more, but walked to the center of the room and spread her left hand upwards.

Something she had seen countless times gradually took shape in her hands.

“You’re right. I really don’t intend to delve into your personal desires. However, I just want to sincerely ask you one question: Do the people in this world truly deserve your earnest kindness?”

Sharp remained indifferent, completely ignoring Serafina's words. However, just as the golden antlers suddenly appeared in his sight, a strange feeling welled up inside him. He sensed that the radiant energy hidden deep within him had broken free of its restraints and began to surge wildly.

"What's going on...?" Sharp was filled with doubt and surprise. Before this, he had been completely helpless against Mavia's sudden appearance of power, having no way of controlling it. But now, this power had actually activated on its own—

“Mavia Bridget, though you inherited her legacy and the weapons in her hands, you can never truly comprehend the pain and sacrifice she endured,” Serafina murmured, clutching the golden antlers. Something she did to them somehow revealed the core hidden within the antlers to Sharp—a core that pulsated like a human heart. Simultaneously, several golden chains extended from the core, lunging towards Sharp's limbs and binding him tightly in the blink of an eye.

"I'm training you so that you can grow faster and be used by me better."

Serafina grabbed the chain and yanked it backward, sending Sharp flying. The Queen's large hand gripped his face, easily lifting him into the air.

“Go and crush them for me, dismantle the human resistance, and bring those two traitors before me... I will execute them in public.”

Golden antlers pulled Sharp higher and higher until they reached the dome of the Deer Cave.

Its core grew larger and larger, and the magnetic field it generated distorted the surrounding spacetime.

A beam of light shot up from the ground and pierced Sharp's body, causing him to scream in agony. At that moment, the Golden Deer Antlers slowly unfurled a matrix of runes formed from flowing light energy, enveloping Sharp's body. Like a parasite that had been reawakened, it eagerly burrowed into his body, pouring its entire will into it.

On the horizon, dark clouds gathered, distorting the view above the Deer Cave. A tiny black dot appeared within the clouds and rapidly expanded. With a whooshing sound, this seemingly insignificant dot tore several cracks in the surrounding air. As a giant halo formed around the dot, a wormhole quietly formed above the abyss. Naling watched as Sharp was about to be completely swallowed by the golden antlers, and her heart sank. Her meticulously planned scheme had been thoroughly exposed by Seraphia, and the situation was now completely out of control. Acting on instinct, Naling didn't hesitate, transforming into a golden light and flying towards Sharp's location.

"Oh!"

Unexpectedly, she was only a few dozen meters off the ground when she was suddenly struck down by a huge iron hammer and crashed heavily into the nearby ruins.

“I forgot about you,” Serafina said dismissively. Behind her, the Tenth Templar Knight—Stag-Shu—who had just hurled his warhammer, retrieved his weapon and stood before Naling.

"Get her."

The deer-like creature moved like a titan, wielding its warhammer and smashing it towards the direction where Naling had fallen.

Although Naling wasn't wearing armor, she wasn't about to be willingly smashed into a pulp. She rolled to the side, dodging the powerful blow, then got up and drew her gun. Unfortunately, bullets of that caliber couldn't penetrate the Templar Knight's armor. After emptying several magazines, Naling threw away her gun and turned to run into the ruins of Deer Cave.

Lu Shu angrily overturned the stone slab blocking his way and chased after her relentlessly.

At this moment, in the abyss.

Yemaner re-equipped herself, donned the knight's armor typically worn in battle, and hesitated for once when selecting a selection of outstanding standard lances.

The wormhole above the abyss grew larger and larger, gradually forming an inverted vortex. And the scene on the other side of the wormhole was none other than Deep City. Serafina's purpose was clear at a glance: to use the Golden Antlers to warp spacetime and bring the entire army of the Deer Clan to the city.

After thinking for a while, she still drew Wei Feng, the spear-like weapon that had been with her ever since she first picked up a spear.

"Old friend, please help me one last time. Give that foolish child some time..."

At this critical moment, Ye Man'er aimed Wei Feng at the direction of the wormhole and threw him out with precision.

Sharp struggled in mid-air. He had thought that the process of merging with the golden antlers would be painful, but strangely, the more he absorbed, the lighter he became. The flowing energy supported him, and the hot armor on his body gradually cooled down.

At this moment, the originally menacing golden antlers were greatly dimmed, and fire and lightning erupted from their core, as if deliberately keeping their distance from Sharp.

"So you can't swallow me after all... Ha, where do you think you're going?!" Sharp grabbed the golden antlers that was trying to escape, pressed it down hard, and forced it into his body.

"Confused!"

A roar came from below. The sharp-eyed Wei Feng cut between Sharp and Golden Antlers, interrupting their advance. Seeing the situation was dire, Golden Antlers seized the opportunity to escape swiftly, disappearing without a trace. Meanwhile, Ye Man'er swiftly grabbed Sharp, who was about to be sucked into the wormhole, and used all her strength to fly in another direction.

"Stop forcing yourself to have sex with it! You'll lose your life if you keep doing this!" Ye Man'er shouted.

Sharp stared at the departing golden antlers with a look of deep disappointment: "But it has been rejecting me... Maybe I can control it!"

“Now is not the time to dwell on these things—” Just as Ye Man’er was about to retort, a dense rain of golden arrows erupted from the ground. They rained down on them relentlessly, forcing Ye Man’er to abruptly change her flight path. Several loud bangs rang out as several arrows exploded around them, creating clouds of black smoke.

On the ruins of Deer Cave, Serafina and Mus watched as the reflection of the deep city gradually became clearer within the wormhole. The forming wormhole would soon transport the Deer Clan army there; the immediate priority was to deal with these troublesome fellows as quickly as possible.

"The time has come to prove your worth, General." The Golden Deer, summoned, obediently returned to its master's hands. The Queen, controlling the Golden Deer, said strategically, "Make this quick and decisive; leave the rest to me."

"Yes, my lord."

......

"Well!"

With a muffled groan, Na Ling, having no way to dodge, had no choice but to take the blow from Lu Shu with her own body. Her body, out of control, flew rapidly dozens of meters away.

Prior to this, Naling had meticulously planned her strategy, deliberately burying firearms here. However, against this physically strong but simple-minded monster, the firearms were completely ineffective. Worse still, her Templar armor was also missing, left behind in Deep City. The distance was too great; transporting the armor here in a short time was simply impossible.

but……

Just as Naling was feeling somewhat desperate, the wormhole directly above her gave her a glimmer of inspiration. Now, she could see the scene on the other side of Deep City very clearly through the wormhole. A bold and adventurous idea surged into her mind: if she made a long-distance summoning, perhaps the armor could actively pass through this wormhole, overcome the spatial barrier, and come to her side.

Thinking of this, Na Ling ignored the deer rushing towards her, concentrated her mind, gathered all her strength into her outstretched palm, and sent a strong distress signal toward the wormhole.

"Snapped!"

In a room in the south of Shenzhen, the watch that Zhao Lin was holding slipped from her fingers without warning, and the crisp "snap" brought the somewhat dazed Zhao Lin back to reality.

Zhao Lin trembled, and the confusion in her eyes quickly vanished, replaced by clarity and alertness.

"It's happening again... exactly the same situation as that day," Zhao Lin muttered to herself. Naya, sitting on the sofa beside her, also noticed the turmoil in her friend's heart. The shadow that had dealt her a heavy blow in the past was slowly consuming Zhao Lin's soul.

Looking out the window, one can see the distant horizon, with a gigantic wormhole swirling in the sky. Fully armed military fighter jets roar overhead, a scene that seems to have become the most frequent sight in this city.

Having just survived a devastating disaster, Shenzhen has yet to fully recover and is now once again shrouded in the shadow of war.

"Zhao Lin, are you really not planning to leave? It's too dangerous to stay here." Naya looked at Zhao Lin beside her with a worried expression. However, Zhao Lin just shook her head repeatedly in the face of her earnest advice.

It seemed that courage and determination were innate qualities for this woman, qualities she would never lack. She clenched her fists, silently encouraging herself: "Where else can I go? My hometown has already been ravaged by them. So, no matter what, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch Shenzhen suffer the same fate, becoming a second victim! I will fight them to the very end!"

Compared to Zhao Lin, Naya has never been able to recover from the trauma inflicted on her by Lefie. In the past few days, she has become a stranger, increasingly silent, locking herself in her dimly lit room, unwilling to have any contact with the outside world.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have led them here. Originally... we wouldn't have had to pay such a heavy price..."

Looking back on this long and arduous journey, they endured countless trials together. Even in the face of numerous difficulties, Zhao Lin never easily bowed her head or gave in. Whenever crucial moments arrived, Naya was always unable to be as strong and courageous as Zhao Lin, repeatedly collapsing under pressure. Perhaps it was precisely because of these failures that the word "weakness" was imprinted on her heart, like an indelible shadow, a nightmare she could never escape for the rest of her life.

“You can’t think like that, Naya. You’ll trap yourself. You have to believe that if everyone knew the truth, they definitely wouldn’t speak to you like this.” Zhao Lin took Naya’s hand, trying to smooth out the rift in Naya’s heart.

Naya slowly closed her eyes, then exhaled a long breath before whispering, "Perhaps from the very beginning, I never intended to stop her. In fact, I clearly had the opportunity to do so, but in the end, I failed to act on it."

Hearing this, Zhao Lin was about to speak when Naya interrupted her before she could utter a word.

“Zhao Lin, in this situation, I’m probably the only one who can stop Le Fei from acting recklessly. So no matter what, I will never allow her to continue doing those heinous things. This is the best solution I can think of right now!” Naya said, her voice trembling with emotion. She reached out and grabbed the corner of the sofa, as if only in this way could she vent her fluctuating emotions.

Then, Naya, supporting herself against the wall, limped toward the room.

"If Sharp comes back safe and sound, don't tell him anything about me. I don't want him to see me like this..." The girl's expression was completely hidden by her long, flowing brown hair, filled with despair. "Who, who would like a cripple?"

These words were extremely grating to Zhao Lin, especially given the current situation.

"Stop talking—" Zhao Lin could no longer tolerate Naya's endless self-destruction. She strode forward and grabbed Naya's arm.

"Listen to me! Go talk to him yourself, dress up nicely and go talk to him! Why do you have to drag me into this?!" Zhao Lin yelled in front of her.

"When you were severely hurt by Mu Si, he also fell into despair, but he never questioned you! Nor did he suspect your thoughts. Now that he's just been kidnapped, are you so pessimistic? What about the trust between you? What about your relationship?" Perhaps it was because her emotions, which had been suppressed for a long time, had nowhere to be released, that Zhao Lin gritted her teeth. After a fierce internal struggle, she still chose to tell him what she had said.

“The night I let him stay, when Sharp came to my room, I was struggling. I kept asking myself if I should take the initiative, bravely approach him, and sit down with him to talk calmly. However, every time I tried to do it, your image would always appear in my mind, Naya… It is because of you that I cannot take this step… I really don’t want to be a sneaky third party, like a despicable cat stealing fish…” Zhao Lin’s voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Upon hearing this, Naya's previously calm expression immediately froze, and a suffocating tension filled the entire space.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Lin softly uttered three words: "I've had enough." With that, she grabbed her coat from the sofa, pushed open the door, and left.
