A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

The atmosphere was lively as they discussed the elf teacher they had never met. The generous priest gradually outlined the teacher's appearance from Sera's words, and a natural and harmonious rhythm emerged.

The elves living in the forest are not the goblins like ghosts in local legends, but philosophers like in legends.

"Well, Mr. Priest, would you like to try some legendary magic?"

As time went by, the atmosphere of communication became warmer. After hearing the priest's approval of Thrandal, Sera, who felt that Mana had responded a lot, happily made this invitation.

"Of course I'll try. Come on, little Sierra."

The youthful vigor emanated from deep within his body. After touching the wooden staff, Capton put on a serious look, sitting upright and ready to be baptized.

Is it a bit too serious?

Wondering if the priest had some misunderstanding about magic, Sera, who also became a little serious, went over the rituals she had studied carefully in her mind again, and the blue mana suddenly revealed its mysterious true face in front of others.

Completely different from Honkai energy, the mana that flows from the spirituality carries the breath of life, and its soft colors remind people of the starlight in the sky. Unexpectedly, the simple healing technique took effect on the man's body.

The hidden wounds from the battle were healed, and an unprecedented sense of refreshment extended from all parts of the body to the brain and flowed into the spirit, just like a high-level massage. The superb master therapist used the combination of light, water and electricity to bring others a journey of cleansing body and mind.

"Is the effect pretty good? Mr. Priest."

[Tender Green Buds] emit a hazy light due to the infusion of mana. The combination of fresh green and azure blue is mysterious and noble. In the eyes of the priest who has just come to his senses, it is like a brand new door, and the world revealed from it is full of fantasy and wonder.

How can this be called okay?

"I now completely believe what you said, Sera. Congratulations on finding a good teacher."

The priest, who had thought about many things, gave his blessing with a smile, looking at the girl who was smiling happily, and finally chose to suppress too many hopes in his heart.

Extraordinary talent is a gift from God to the girl. Possessing such a gift, she may have carried some kind of mission since she was born, but now she just needs some comfortable time.

"Well, Mr. Father, I have an idea now. I wonder if you have any questions."

After receiving Father Capton's blessing, Sera's weak state gradually disappeared as her mana continued to recover, and an idea arose in her mind.

That was an effort that only she could make in the town at this stage, in order to maintain a peaceful daily life and to maintain the little warmth of reality.

"There's something in the woods that's bound to endanger this town in the future. I'm going to investigate. I hope you'll give me your permission. This is also for the sake of everyone in the orphanage."

"I will try my best to bring back enough information. If I can't solve the problem, please don't worry about my existence. Please come and deal with the Valkyrie troops of Honkai."

The firm words carried a determination that did not belong to her childish appearance. Suddenly, the girl in the priest's eyes was no longer the lonely wounded girl bleeding in the snow, the girl who needed everyone's care in life.

I don't know when, but a small tree that had not yet grown up became extremely strong after a few nights.

"If the night doesn't have any impact, then Sera, you can choose to get yourself together before going."

As Sera stared at him, the priest suddenly smiled strangely, wiped the tip of his nose, rubbed his temples, and then analyzed the facts as he accepted them.

Sera had already received all the recognition and relief in these words.

"Well, during the day, I also want to go out of the poorhouse and take a look at the town."

After removing all traces of mana and turning back into the ordinary girl she used to be, Sera put down her wooden stick and suddenly asked playfully.

"If possible, could you give me some pocket money, Father? I'll consider it as a reward for the information I bring back later~"

"Okay, okay, no problem. You kids are always thinking about the adults' wallets."

The priest spoke in a distressed tone, but his hands moved very quickly, and several shiny bills fell into Sera's hands, giving her the capital to walk around the town with impunity.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Thank you for your sponsorship, Mr. Priest."

Taking the wooden stick, Sera, who walked slowly, got out of bed quietly and walked out immediately. When the priest followed her out, she was no longer in the aisle.

Did he speed up after coming out? Why does he still look like a child?

Father Capeton stretched his youthful muscles and felt that today's work efficiency would definitely be very impressive.

46. ​​Dark Forest

The day passed in the blink of an eye, and the pocket money she got from others naturally disappeared. In the town that suddenly became dark, the girl who was nibbling at a large cup of jelly finished the damaged snack carefully, and then threw it into the dark green trash can on the side of the road.

It was a good night because the howling cold wind did not take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, and the flying snow was also absent for some reason. These were obvious good signs before the action.

Orange lights were released from the small shops on the road. The warm colors were filled with people's expectations for life. From the laughter that came from inside from time to time, Sera also heard the sound of clinking glasses, clattering and bouncing, and the cheerful frequency was the happiness that only adults could have.

The girl raised her little head and thought about the taste in her memory, then shook her head, and her cute face was suddenly filled with a feeling of distance.

The bright street lights filled the road home with light, and the snow piled up on the roadside showed the efforts of the snow shovelers during the day. Sera, carrying a bag full of sweets, returned to the orphanage smoothly.

He quickly went upstairs and reached his new room as quickly as possible. He was relieved that no one had taken his snacks along the way. After putting his things away, the disciple of the elf sage, the future rising star of the forest, was about to start a real adventure.

Concentrating her mind, she immersed herself in the system she had learned so far. She controlled the mana precisely and moved up along the straight spatial veins, opening up a stable passage. As she took steady steps, the world in front of Sera changed.

The gray night, the gray trees, the black and white snow, and a bitter coldness that clung to everything in sight transformed the woods at night into a gloomy castle, a haunted house that occupied an excessive amount of space.

Behind her was a gathering of lights, and the surrounding light sources were scattered in the dark world, like stars in the night sky.

Ahead of her is the mysterious and ominous dark forest, a place full of horror in various stories. But whether it is just a forbidden place for cowards or a real place that swallows up life still needs to be truly explored.

The solid wooden staff is the weapon given by the sage to his disciple. At this moment, the [tender green shoots] turn into an outdoor snowball in the girl's hand, and the endless flow of mana is constantly transformed into the light of illumination and defensive spells, which constitute Sera's confidence in walking in it.

They often travel by means of space teleportation, sometimes leaping upwards, sometimes flashing forward. Sera, who is more ghostly than a ghost, is surrounded by azure light. If someone witnesses this elusive blue figure at night, it will probably not be long before a terrifying urban rumor will be born.

The deeper they went into the forest, the more sounds echoed in their ears. The biting cold wind swept through the dark treetops, and the strange whistling sound was like the howling of some ghost, twisting and turning, very creepy. When Sera looked back inadvertently, she saw that there was no light in the snow-covered forest behind her. A silent wall stretched between her and the town, filled with gray and black despair.

Tapping.

She weighed the soft snow with her footsteps and sank into a part of it as expected. Sera blinked her eyes while paying close attention to her surroundings. When she looked around to determine the next teleportation location, she always had a dazzling illusion, as if there was an ominous black shadow flashing by, either on a tree in the distance or under a tree.

The black shadows, after being processed by imagination, became ghosts wandering in various gloomy areas. But for Sera, the images she imagined more often seemed to be insects that could squeak.

Although there is nothing wrong with a momentary scream, if the sound becomes too loud, more than three "squeaks", even a brave girl would have the illusion of cardiac arrest.

Using regular breathing and meditation techniques to relax her mind, Sera was able to enter the dream level and swept her sight across the uninhabited mountains and forests. Unexpectedly, this time she caught a glimpse of an extreme reddish color.

The irrational creature, blinded by blood, noticed the gaze and quickly followed its bestial instincts. Originally, the crawling figure with four limbs looked like a humanoid spider, but when it got closer, it was discovered that it had indeed been a human in its previous life.

The skin was torn for unknown reasons, exposing the flesh underneath. A strange purple color flowed under the skin like mist, making it appear ominous from time to time. Even though its body was covered with a layer of frost, its movements were still unimaginable.

The flying snow waves were left behind by it, and a chilling momentum instantly approached him. With a dull thud, the head of the assassin who had come into close contact with the Manalya defense formation was tilted, and he bumped back into the rough wood. It took him a while to stand up again in a daze.

Before it could launch another attack, dense silk threads completely entangled its body. Several huge control threads invaded its body from its limbs and head, taking over its movement center and even erasing its instinctive killing impulse.

The confrontation between Honkai energy and Mana took place in the bodies of the dead soldiers, and in the end, the more numerous Mana won. Sera, who completely turned the dead soldiers into her own possessions, breathed a sigh of relief and then put into practice the plan she had envisioned in her mind.

Mental synchronization, understanding the puppet's memory in the form of dreams, although the specific technique is still just a concept, a rough overview is not impossible.

Buzz——

On a cold winter day with howling winds, the hunter ran wildly behind the hound chasing the prey.

Suddenly, the ground caved in, and the dizzying vision spun around and around, passing by the dark rock walls and falling snowflakes, before landing in a bizarre world.

Unrestrained large blocks were scattered everywhere, and some vague outlines were swimming in the air like a giant beast. Then, a gorgeous ball of purple light swallowed him up.

"..."

The sapphire fireworks ignited, and the sacred color seemed to be able to purify all filth. After obtaining the approximate location and information, Sera let this innocent poor man rest in peace.

Now, it can be said that Sera has achieved his goal and can choose to return and tell Father Capton all the information he has received so that he can make a decision on how to deal with the disaster.

However, Sera, who felt that she could still explore further tentatively, also wanted to try to solve it herself. If all else failed, she could use her powerful spatial ability to escape, but she might be in a lot of trouble.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the cold wind stopped making its hoarse voice, Sera, without thinking for long, called out to another person who might be working as a tailor.

"Celin."

"What's wrong?"

"Do me a favor. I might need to use all my mana later. Please help me control the Houkai energy in my body."

"Alright, but if you can't solve it, I don't mind using Honkai to solve the problem directly."

47. The Magic of Extension

The heavy sound of footsteps echoed in the snow, and the evil energy radiation wandering in the atmosphere increased slightly as Sera moved forward. Although the amplitude was not high, it also awakened her vigilance.

If she were in an environment where Honkai energy was too strong, it would be more difficult for her to use Mana to do anything.

The dark blue color shone again, and the silent space teleportation crossed numerous obstacles and arrived at the depression that had been buried long ago. Under the pure white snowflakes, no one knew what was hidden behind it.

The white breath of air appeared from time to time in her field of vision. Sera, who was well prepared, carefully sensed the structure of the space and locked onto that completely different area with her perception beyond vision.

It's not a hole in the ground, but something like a subspace or an alternate dimension.

It happens to be a match for our profession.

"Celin."

"I'm paying attention to you, so stop calling me."

Hearing the familiar voice, the short reaction time also confirmed that she was indeed paying attention to reality at all times. Sera took a deep breath, dispelling some of her tension. While feeling the cold, the world she felt changed in an instant.

The almost non-existent air turned into a solid liquid, squeezing the bubble that wrapped around Sera. When Sera entered this strange space, she discovered that the bright green area was actually an unfathomable abyss.

A purple ball of light floated in it like a jellyfish, flashing purple colors as if it had life. There were also large iron-gray blocks scattered around, which looked like part of some kind of building.

It's similar to the memories obtained from the dead man's head, but something is missing.

The vague outline of a giant beast, now more like a trace of flowing water left by a tangible object...

Breathing in the bubble, Sera released the suppression of Honkai energy in her body for the first time in reality. She mustered up her courage and used all her mana to start a very dangerous action.

goo-dong-

As an outsider, she controlled the bubble to slowly sink, gradually moving away from the light from above the sky and into the deep abyss below.

The light disappeared, as if swallowed by the eternal darkness. In the dead sea, the bright green slowly turned into dark green. Only purple light balls gathered in groups, emitting faint purple halos in the vast and abyssal space, one by one, like oil lamps burning with souls.

It was impossible not to be afraid. The extended senses gave no feedback. The only thing she could confirm was that there were no living creatures around her. This situation had no other effect except making the abyss even more terrifying. As time went by, Sera, who was beginning to retreat, began to think about leaving.

A strange cry like the roar of a giant creature was transmitted into the bubble through the sea water. It was frightening when it was heard, but there was no movement at all. When you listened carefully, it seemed like the sound of something breaking.

Looking down at the bottom of the abyss, she could not see anything, just like when she first came in. The silent environment gave rise to terror but made it impossible to vent. It was clearly a vast abyss, but there was no trace of life at all. So far, the depressed mind had made Sera feel a little bored.

"Purr."

The sound of flowing water reached her ears slower than her perception of the surroundings. Sera, refreshed, looked over and caught a glimpse of some vague outlines among the shattered purple light clusters.

It was so white that it was almost transparent, and its shape was difficult to judge at first glance, but it was indeed the size of a sea monster. Judging from the disturbed sea water and the waves, it must be an anxious giant.

The abundant mana formed a fishing net woven with the thread of domination. The sharp silk thread had the characteristics of wind, which was difficult to destroy and also had good lethality. Before the real confrontation, Sera was still thinking of catching one to study.

However, what happened next made her expression change, because when she was ready to deal with one creature, more living creatures entered her perception range.

Just like a school of hunting fish, when one fish discovers the trace of prey, it will attract other hunters to hunt it.

A little tricky...

Abandoning the idea of ​​research, Sera, who had put all her mana into the annihilation plan, tightly grasped the Green Bud Staff in her hand, and tried her best to create a magnificent light and shadow around the bubble.

In addition to the purple light clusters, a second completely different light source rose within the deep sea. The nested magic rings exuded an obvious aura of destruction, and the lightning and fire they produced were dazzling sapphire blue, mercilessly burning everything in the sea.

"If one spell can't accomplish your goal, then why not use multiple spells? There's an interesting method of superposition in magic techniques."

"It doesn't require profound knowledge, but it does require high-precision manipulation of mana and magic."

The teacher's teachings flowed in her heart. Sera, with a calm expression, was surrounded by layers of mysterious magic rings. Although she was petite, she exuded a dignified temperament.

The magic of expansion.

Tearing through the water vapor, the condensed fiery light transformed into artillery fire flying all over the sky, each of which met each of the attacking beasts. With the boiling of water and the release of shock waves, all kinds of blood and flesh were suddenly splashed in the devastated sea.

I expanded and superimposed several layers...

After using nine layers of mana and coming up with data that it was about six or seven layers, Sera, who had resolved the crisis, was just thinking about getting some limbs when she felt the horror of being stared at.

His mind was covered by shadows, and all his understanding of the world was dark. There was not a shred of hope at all. The despair suppressed to the extreme was cruelly crushing everything he saw.

Is that really the case? Is there something so horrible!?

A true light cannon was flashing at the bottom of the abyss, and it was as if the entire earth was shining. The scale was too terrifying. At the critical moment, Sera howled for her good friend who was particularly useful.

"Sirin!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I see. I'll help you."
