Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Because she suddenly thought of a question worth exploring - where did she come from, completely transcending another time and space in the void? Or was that world actually floating in this void, another dimension similar to Ryan Karnia?

……

472. Memory Bias

"I, I have indeed been to some dimensions... but that was a long time ago, and I don't remember it clearly..."

Facing Elsa's question, Adele didn't dare to lie.

Her superb spatial magic was not acquired in a day or two. In the process, she inevitably came into contact with the void. There was a time when Adele was very keen on exploring the mysteries beyond this world.

Anyway, she has no followers and no territory of her own. When she is alone, she likes to study all kinds of things.

But the result disappointed her greatly.

Because she spent a lot of effort to go to other spaces, but she didn't get anything that could be called a "harvest" from beginning to end. Except for the world of Ryan Karnia continent, other spaces were full of dangers and bizarre energies, but there was no life, and many of them didn't even have magic elements, so there was no question of any valuable spoils.

Since then, Adele has lost interest in exploring the void - no one would want a career that they have invested so much passion in to be just wishful thinking without any results, right?

However, unlike Adele, Elsa seemed very interested in this topic.

"Then tell me what you remember—are there any living creatures in those places? Are there any humans?"

Adele felt something was wrong with Elsa's sudden change in attitude. She was a little scared, but she still answered Elsa's questions hesitantly.

"Hmm... I don't recall seeing any living creatures in other dimensions. Those dimensions are mostly desolate and narrow, some are even only the size of a small town..."

Adele said, gesturing.

"Some spaces are filled with nothing but cold icebergs, others with nothing but hard ore... Without exception, there's no light in the places I've visited, and they're all incredibly cold, thousands of times colder than the Arctic ice sheets. Even I couldn't stay there for long, so I left quickly... I've never found any signs of biological activity in those places. I guess that kind of place can't support life..."

In such a small world without any energy source, if the heat of the world could be transferred outwards, then it would not be surprising that it would be very cold. As for whether there is life there, it is probably hard to say, but at least it is certain that such a place is not suitable for survival.

As for water and minerals? Those things are a bit complicated - can matter exist naturally in space? This world's universe seems different from what we know?

Elsa once tried to jump very high. She had seen the scenery of space, which was not much different from everything she knew in her original world. Elsa did not leave the planet because she was afraid that she would not be able to find her way back. In short, the actual volume of Ryan Karnia space is not just the small area on the planet. In this comparison, a world as big as the universe and a world as small as a small town can no longer be compared.

"If I don't know space magic, is there any way to cross the void and reach other dimensions?"

Aisha asked.

"Ah? This... shouldn't be the case... The void is a very dangerous place. Its danger comes not only from the undercurrents of space debris, but also from its immateriality and disorder..."

Adele is indeed an expert in this area, she explained.

"To cross the void, one needs to know the exact location of another dimension. Otherwise, it's easy to lose one's way in the void. The time and space 'outside' are different from those 'inside,' and one must spend a considerable amount of time confirming the path rules. Because they are constantly changing, any single mistake can lead to complete loss...

Furthermore, crossing the void requires a large amount of energy to protect oneself. Even the Lord God has to be extremely cautious before entering it..."

It seems that it is not easy for Elsa to walk in the void by herself - even if Elsa is not afraid of the so-called undercurrents of space debris, it will not be fun if she gets lost after going out.

"So, you've been to so many places, but you haven't found any space where humans or other creatures exist?"

"I heard that a god as proficient in space magic as I was once found a space filled with undead spirits. Some have also seen a space ruled by rock spirits. But putting those rumors aside, as far as I know... only our Ryan Carnia has life..."

"That's it..."

This answer did not surprise Elsa. After all, humans in previous lives had also spent a lot of effort to explore and observe outer space, but hadn't they found any conclusive evidence to prove the existence of other life in outer space?

Life is so unique that it is impossible to find it easily.

Elsa couldn't help feeling a little regretful - if that was the case, even if the world she lived in in her previous life was somewhere in the void, it would be very difficult to find it.

So, how did I come to this world?

Elsa was thoughtful.

At this time, Charlie and Sinead seemed to have finished their mission report for today and were preparing to leave the guild. Seeing this, Elsa followed them. When they reached the door of the guild, a familiar figure approached from the front. Elsa subconsciously stopped, and Adele behind her was absent-mindedly thinking about something and bumped into Elsa's back.

"Eh!? S-Sorry! Lady Erza, I didn't mean to do that!"

Adele quickly apologized, and then she saw Elsa's eyes - eyes full of suspicion, looking at an old man walking towards them.

The old man was dressed in a capable priest's outfit, with a slightly hunched body. It seemed that he had injured his legs, and he did not walk very flexibly. However, his cheeks were as hard as if cut by a knife, and his silver hair was combed back meticulously. Although he was obviously old, there was still a hint of hidden sharpness in his eyes.

The old man had a silver spear on his back, and it looked like he had seen it somewhere before.

"Old priest?"

Elsa turned and looked at Father Angus. The priest obviously couldn't see her and just walked quickly into the guild. The adventurers around him greeted him politely and made way for him. It could be seen that Father Angus was quite popular in the guild.

President Brahmot also came to greet them.

Elsa thought about it and did not follow Charlie, but followed the priest. She felt it was very strange and out of place. Elsa had lived in the monastery in Weilin Town for so long and had been active in the guild for a while, but she never knew that the priest had been active in the guild.

Isn’t the spear behind the priest the “Gungnir” in Elsa’s hand, a replica of the Holy Nail?

Aisha had never seen the priest use this spear.

Of course, the people in the town respected the old priest very much, and it was natural for them to know him, but looking at the expressions of these adventurers, it was obviously not the case. Elsa was too familiar with that look. She had seen it too many times when she was a gold medal adventurer, exactly the same.

That was clearly a look towards a strong person.

All of this deviated from Aisha's memory.

473. The Dusty Gun (3K3)

"I investigated all the way to the Central Lake area and found no trace of the missing persons, but on the way back I found this."

In the reception room, Brahmute looked solemnly at the female mummy placed in front of him, took a deep breath, and looked at the old priest with a complicated expression.

"Father Angus, this is a vampire."

The silver hair, the withered and pale skin, the blood-red pupils that were deeply sunken but still staring straight ahead - this was undoubtedly the symbol of the vampire clan.

The old priest nodded and added, "And she's at least a count-level vampire. Her blood can almost ignore my holy light magic—plus, she died not long ago."

"What did you say?"

Brahmot couldn't help but stand up.

A count-level vampire appeared in the forest and was killed. This was no small matter - the first thing he thought of was to report the situation immediately and ask for help from the Danmas Adventurer's Guild and the Church.

"Where I found her, her body was covered in her blood, fresh blood—she had been drained of her blood, leaving her like this, probably this afternoon."

The old priest explained.

The conversation between Bremuth and the old priest fell into Elsa's ears. Elsa was leaning against the bookcase beside her, watching them quietly.

During their conversation, Elsa learned some very concerning things: the old priest had actually been active in the guild all this time - as a gold medal adventurer.

The reason why the old priest appeared here today was because he was commissioned by Brahmot to find clues about the missing persons.

strangeness.

too weird.

A commission directly from the guild leader - in Elsa's memory, this commission was something that Bramuth had asked her to do alone, and it was something that only she could do. Others received search commissions issued by the guild, but only Elsa received an investigation commission to go deep into the forest or even across the central lake to the western forest. The difficulty of the two was not on the same level.

As far as I remember, the old priest was always in the monastery at that time.

In other words, here, the positions of the old priest and Aisha in their memories have been swapped.

Elsa suddenly had a bad premonition. She looked at Bremuth and the old priest, crossed her arms and said nothing.

Time goes by every second...

it's dark.

The old priest and Belemut discussed the appearance of the mummies for a long time and reported what happened here, while Elsa listened to their conversation. However, for so long, Elsa never heard her name from their mouths.

Based on Elsa's understanding of Brahmot and the old priest, there was no reason for this to happen - normally, Brahmot would have come to her for help by now.

"I'll bring you news about Dammars Abbey in about three days. As for the town hall, please ask Mr. Bremuth to notify it."

"Don't worry. I'll explain the situation to Mr. Bazel Bran. The guild will gather any adventurers who are out in the next few days and work with the town hall to establish security around the town."

The old priest said goodbye to Brahmot and returned to the monastery. Elsa also came here, and Adele followed. Elsa did not take the initiative to talk to her, and she was very quiet all the way.

It was almost bedtime in the monastery. The old priest gathered the nuns, monks and priests and explained the situation. Everyone was a little panicked for a moment - the appearance of a vampire count was undoubtedly a major crisis for a small town like Weilin Town, even if it was just a dried corpse.

Elsa looked at the nuns and felt a little nostalgic, but she did not see Alice - as far as she could remember, Alice had not yet been rescued by Elsa and brought back to the monastery.

We have to change Alice's fate.

However, Elsa looked around but couldn't find "herself" in the monastery.

After making simple arrangements, the old priest left and began to write a letter in the study. Elsa thought about it and followed the anxious nuns to the prayer room. The nuns began to pray before going to bed and then went to bed.

But at this time, Elsa gradually realized that something was wrong - there was no trace of her life here.

The traces of a person's life cannot disappear for no reason, but no one has ever mentioned her name from beginning to end.

Moreover, Elsa had lived in the monastery for more than two years, and the nuns had learned some "more modern" living habits from her. They also had gifts given to them by Elsa, some of which were books, and some were small gadgets that girls liked, such as accessories and hairbands. Because nuns were not allowed to dress too much in principle, these things were especially popular.

But they are all gone.

Elsa felt more and more that something was wrong.

Soon, the nuns went to bed one after another, and Aisha followed them all the way. Sure enough, she saw that the bed that should have belonged to her was occupied by someone else.

Elsa's expression turned strange.

Could it be that... I don't even exist in this place?

Yes, this makes sense - because the old priest did not have to deal with some troublesome things that ordinary people could not handle, so he finally picked up his long gun that had been covered in dust for a long time for the sake of the town.

In this case, this so-called "dream" is probably far from what I remember. It may be similar to everything in my memory, but it is only a seeming thing.

So, what exactly is this place?

"Dream"?

how is this possible.

A world where I don't exist? What does that world look like originally?

Elsa felt a tightness in her heart for the first time in a long time.

She was thinking, if she hadn't been there, would Charlie have never been saved? What would have become of everything here?

Elsa unconsciously clenched her palms. At this moment, she suddenly felt a strange feeling surge in her heart. Adele seemed to feel it too. She hurried to Elsa's side and nervously grabbed Elsa's sleeve.

"what are you doing?"

"I, I don't know... I just feel like... something bad is going to happen..."

As soon as Adele finished speaking, Elsa saw everything in front of her shattered into pieces.

then……

Puff—she saw a forest. Elsa turned around when she heard the sound and saw that Charlie had been pierced through the neck by the woman's sharp nails. She fell down in pain and despair. In front of her were lying the bodies of Sinead and others.

The scene changed, and Alice was hiding in the closet with a pale face, watching her father fighting with the gangster and being stabbed to death, her mother lying in a pool of blood, and then the terrible villain walked towards her hiding place with cold eyes.

Elsa saw Ruth, covered in blood, kneeling before the bodies of Winnie and the others, weeping bitterly. No one in her village had survived. An unknown amount of time passed before Ruth died in battle with the black monsters outside of Verin. The old priest and Brahmut fell one by one. Bazel Bran led the remaining people in a breakout, but they still couldn't escape the black monsters' invasion. The town was swallowed by the wave of black monsters, and everyone there was gone forever.

The sky island was occupied by black monsters. Mira controlled the huge island and sank it into the stormy sea, disappearing in the surging waves along with those filthy creatures.

Elsa frowned, and scenes flashed before her eyes quickly. Perhaps those were not what Elsa saw, but as if they were long-forgotten memories that naturally appeared in the corner of Elsa's memory and were picked up by her.

She saw the death of Charlie, the death of Alice, the death of Ruth, the death of the old priest, the death of Brahmot, and everyone she knew seemed unable to escape the fate of death.

In a blink of an eye, the undead occupied the streets of Dammas. Earl Hibern and Knight Commander Bud were both killed in the battle. Ryan and Moira defended the lord's mansion, but they could not stop the vampires who were well prepared, and eventually lost the teleportation array.

The picture freezes at the underground palace of the tomb.

Filia died surrounded by a sea of ​​monsters.

Vivian, Mary and a group of candidates for the Holy Sister were seriously injured and fell in the battle against the monsters. Among those candidates for the Holy Sister was Buck's sister Yuna.

Bishop Pittman lost his arm and the golden holy book, and cursed Hegelman, who had regained his youth and controlled countless undead.

The next moment, the underground palace collapsed, and like a giant driving a tsunami, the undead general Tobias broke through the constraints of the underground palace. The terrifying huge body rose from the ground, and Tricia, the sage, appeared with him. However, she gradually fell into disadvantage under the siege of Tobias, a cloud of blood mist, and countless monsters, and more wounds appeared on her body.

At this moment, Tricia's slender figure is the last force of resistance - the entire Danmas army has been completely defeated, the teleportation array has been destroyed, and she will not wait for support.

I don't know how long it took, the night turned into day, and then dusk came, and everything was over. Tricia burned the entire veins of the Ledes Mountains and turned the whole of Dammas into a dead place. The fierce battle and the curse made her body full of holes and blood, but she was still unable to save the severely injured Undead Demon General and the Blood Duke. The belated support only saved her who was on the verge of collapse.
