A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

Sera quickly grabbed a hard limb and escaped in the massive Honkai energy reaction. Her tired body immediately returned to the icy snow forest.

"Huhuhu..."

"Without Xilin, we're really screwed."

"Hmph, if you had saved more mana you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"It's because of Xilin that I dare to squander like this. I won't do that next time."

The gold in her pupils gradually disappeared, and her body suffered some injuries due to the use of Honkai energy, but it was not a problem before the healing magic. After calming the turmoil in her body, Sera had time to observe the broken limbs she had caught.

Sharp, smooth, and with a quality between illusion and reality that was impressive, Sera saw black spots filled with Honkai energy through the almost transparent white shell.

"What is this?"

Asked Xilin, Sera couldn't understand what this was.

"Um……"

Miss Celine's deep thoughts could be heard in her mind.

"It's probably a special Houkai beast. I've raised a few of them before."

48. Cancellation of leave

It is hard to tell whether it is drifting fog or flowing frost. The white world is dim, and the visual range is reduced to an extremely low level.

Broken branches fell on the cold snow, broken weeds died in the piled snow, and human footprints spread all the way along the direction of the wind. During the day, Sera's traces were quickly buried by nature, just like the deep sea, which was once a story that no one knew.

A coffee drink with a rich aroma was brought to the desk as a substitute for milk. While Sera was still gazing out the window at the town in the early morning, the priest had already digested everything he had received.

"This is a species I've never seen before. It looks like I have no choice but to seek help."

With Sera's help, we took a close look at the relatively complete limbs. Although we couldn't restore the monster's full appearance, we could still glimpse some of its unique characteristics.

"That place is very dangerous. You can be a little more dramatic when explaining the situation, Mr. Priest."

"To say anything too dangerous is beyond my ability, and the report would appear completely false."

Sera blinked, and her flexible mind immediately came up with the answer to the question. It was not difficult to think of, but it was a little against her will.

"You can tell the truth, as long as Mr. Priest tells me when the time comes."

After giving what she thought was a good suggestion, the girl withdrew her gaze from the window and then sealed the box where the limbs were stored.

"The temporary seal will probably only last for two days. Even though it's only a partial seal, it will still cause some trouble if we're not careful."

The mysterious runes drawn by Mana disappeared on the gray-black box. The technique that could last for at least several months in the forest could only last for two days after losing Sera's support. During this period, the priest had to find a better storage container to prevent the invasion of high-concentration Honkai energy.

After carefully explaining every aspect of the sealing container that the priest had made by hand, when the warm conversation was coming to an end, Sera waved her hand and left the priest's office quickly and peacefully.

She passed the corridor where people were coming and going from time to time, turned the corner, and then arrived at her room. The space for one person was not big, but it was enough for her daily activities.

The room was not changed at all after a night out. The sweets I bought yesterday were still bright and shiny, emitting silent temptation in the transparent packaging bag.

"Xilin, you know what's going to happen next~"

"It's okay."

As if she had accepted her fate and tacitly agreed to the ending, the purple-haired girl who was communicating with Sera sighed in the spiritual realm. On the draft book under her golden eyes, there was only the outline of the dress design.

But now, as a new tailor, she has to take on the responsibility of working shifts from time to time, and cannot devote all her energy to the beautiful and joyful tailoring work.

Under the brilliant blue sky, the girl and the young woman, despite their height difference, high-fived each other as they passed by. The handover went exceptionally smoothly, with no additional requirements. However, Sera knew that if she wanted Xilin to work for her obediently...

Well, in order to better cooperate with Xilin, she also needs to be prepared to deal with various workshop upgrade issues.

"I am leaving."

"Go early and return early."

No longer needing a gray robe to protect her from the wind, Sera, who had acquired enough knowledge to cope with most situations, changed her consciousness's clothing according to her impressions. After a while, she put on her new clothes and set out on a journey across the world again.

The soft underwear fits the tender skin, and the slightly harder outer coat is made of leather, which is quite similar to the adventurer's clothing. The blue short skirt is convenient for movement and forms something called absolute territory with the stockings. In the sound of soft stepping on the ground, the girl holding the Green Bud Staff feels a different kind of relaxation.

"Since you're back, come to the hall."

Before she had time to review what she had learned in the forest, the teacher's message came with the rustling sound of the forest. The unusual serious tone immediately made Sera realize that something was wrong.

My own cheap teacher actually used such a harsh tone. It seemed like something big was going to happen.

As a disciple, I'm afraid I'll have to get busy too. I went back to the forest to study magic better.

"Mr. Orange, get ready."

Using the Green Bud Staff to connect with the natural mana that was constantly flowing in the atmosphere, Sera tried to weave a higher-level teleportation spell, but after a brief attempt, she had to take a step back and chose a multi-step short-distance teleportation.

The figures of a man and a giant appeared in "Yktrasil", and the scattered mana merged into the wind, transmitting unusual fluctuations. However, using precise space teleportation to travel in public areas is allowed as long as it does not cause serious casualties.

Above the ancient tree, in the Mana Hall, many figures gathered here, discussing an important matter in the area closest to the natural source.

"This way, this way."

Thrandal waved to Sera who had just walked in with a confused look on her face. After guiding her disciples in the direction, he received Sera's puzzled inquiries.

"Teacher, you guys are probably in a meeting, are you sure I can come in?"

Listening to the orderly speeches around me, it was a little lively but not noisy. Although the seats were arranged freely, this atmosphere made people unconsciously restrained.

"Well, you are indeed not qualified to participate, but there is no problem with you being an observer."

"Wait a minute, you'll know why."

Thrandal said briefly, and then asked Sera and the Dust Colossus to sit next to him. The newly formed wicker chairs were very comfortable, and there were hot drinks to moisten their throats.

Sera acted like a good child for no apparent reason. While sipping the delicious tea from her teacup, she also listened attentively to the content of the meeting. From the speakers of various races, including dwarves, elves, tree people, orcs, she gradually pieced together the full picture of the incident.

Except for himself, everyone present was a big shot who dominated the forest. They were either tribal leaders or sages. What they discussed back and forth was the preparation for the war of conquest.

The supply of materials, the distribution of combat power, how to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost, how to complete the reconstruction work afterwards, and emergency plans, etc.

There is only one enemy to target.

The cause and motive are unknown. We only know that it is a disaster that comes from nature, a catastrophe more ferocious than the Demon-Destroying Worm. It is like a cancer cell mutated in the ecosystem, and is called an alien existence.

—That thing suddenly appeared in the forest, silently encroaching upon nature. The sound of trees crumbling and breaking was like a continuous wail.

—A spear filled with powerful malice was pulled out from the creature's abdomen, and the roar that was enough to shake off every leaf in the forest seemed to have announced the end of the forest.

This is the first record of an alien species being exterminated by the forest dwellers, and the pain it brought to the world still lingers in the forest's boneyard.

"In order to deal with the newly emerged alien species, we need to unite all available combat forces."

"Even for residents who have made mistakes in the past, we should give them a chance."

The old elf used his hoarse voice to end the meeting, and then Sera knew why she was pulled over by the teacher to be a nobody.

"Now, I will give you a preliminary explanation of your tasks."

The old but powerful mana filled the hall, and a large amount of information was displayed in front of everyone like a projection, including some familiar figures that Sera found familiar.

Jewelmon? Fairy Dragon? Radiant Valkyrie?

Uh…the embodiment of the four seasons?

"As for those four mischievous elves, I think we should let the youngsters give it a try. It would be more appropriate for us old guys to go find our old friends."

"Well, Sir Thrandal's suggestion is reasonable. I will adopt it."

"Then, does Lord Thrandal have any recommendations?"

As for the old Forest King, Thrandal told Sera his preferred candidate with a sidelong glance.

"My disciple Sera and the children she worked with before are just the right fit."

"Wow, it's clear he's a very outstanding young man, just like my daughter Lisa."

Being exposed by the cheap teacher in front of the eyes of the sages and praised by the leader of the meeting, Sera had to respond, turning her head and saying something dry.

"Your daughter Lisa should be more powerful than me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Happy laughter rang out in the hall.

"..."

Sera had no idea what they were laughing at.

49. Latika joins the team

"Everyone thinks really highly of you, Sera."

The cheap teacher's praise echoed in her ears. Sera, with a speechless face, sighed in the hall where the meeting ended, and her eyes looking at Thrandal were filled with helpless resentment.

"Just tell me the details. I originally wanted to study hard in the forest for a while longer."

"The disciple is indeed the teacher's little cotton-padded jacket~"

Thrandal, who had enjoyed the treatment of his master, smiled and sighed with relief at Sera's frowning expression.

"This mission is quite easy. It basically means you and your friends will go to the settlement of the tree people and play for a few days."

stare--

Completely disbelieving Thrandal's vague and euphemistic words, Sera, who had just returned and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, stared at her teacher intently, her gentle eyes almost unbearable.

"Hmm, you don't believe me? Well then, the key to this mission lies in how you can coax those four elves into willingly joining the fight against the aliens."

As if his conscience had awakened and he was no longer a riddler, Thrandal used the light and shadow painted by mana to describe the target's appearance and historical reasons to Sera.

The Spring Elf, Lav, appears as an innocent girl in an emerald green dress.

The summer elf, Shar, appears as a passionate girl in a short top and hot pants.

Mia, the spirit of autumn, appears as a demure woman in a flowing long dress.

The winter elf, Patty, appears as a cute little girl wearing a small piece of clothing.

Once upon a time, one day in the forest, the Spring Fairy and the Summer Fairy said that when the seasons change, there are always people missing, and it is very lonely.

The Autumn Elf and the Winter Elf said, let’s find a way to be together forever.

The spirits of the seasons then gave power to a tree, and it became a giant that spanned the forest.

From then on, the four of them lived in the body of the tree man.

As a result, this tree man, the incarnation of the four seasons, brought considerable trouble to the forest.

The transporter of the grand seasons, the residence of the four-season elves, what the tree people left behind is the disordered spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Heavy snow, scorching heat, violent storms and heavy rain, dazzling changes in the world.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

"So, the Four Seasons Elves are in jail now?"

Sera gradually understood everything from Thrandal's explanation. With a strange look on her face, she thought about it and came up with an exact description.

"That's right, that's it. Next, you have to coax them into joining the battle after they made the mistake."

"Sera, don't underestimate this mission. Sometimes, interpersonal communication is also an important part of ability."

After receiving Sera's rolling eyes, Thrandal smiled and left the Mana Hall, leaving the speechless girl alone to think about her next journey.

"It's time to get busy again."

Pursing her lips, Sera walked out of the hall toward the pleasant breeze, strolled among the branches, and relaxed herself for a while before taking on the responsibility of assembling the team.

I don't need to worry about Kokoro, Mistlina and Lisa. I'll go and catch Yalisha first.
