A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

It's like the journey of the seasons, leaving lingering echoes wherever it passes, bringing the world back to the autumn in everyone's memory. This gesture of promoting environmental change simply by walking is no different from that of a god.

No wonder he was locked up. It was terrifying to think that the carrier of the grand seasons had such power that he could create the incarnation of the four seasons without restraint.

Thinking of this, although she had never seen its true form, Sera still felt the fluctuations flowing in the prison. The power that originated from the four seasons and transcended the four seasons was dormant. If it revived, it would surely be an existence beyond imagination.

"We're almost there. Come to think of it, I haven't visited you in a while. I wonder how Patty is doing."

As they were about to reach the Winter Elves, the significant changes in the maze silently indicated that they were not far from their destination.

The soft grass was covered with crystal snow water, and the playful white was dotted among the soft green sea. Gradually, the soft snow piled up into low roads, and the thick snow carpet was reborn.

The green wall made of earth and stone was extremely cold. The further one advanced, the more ice crystals it became covered with, as if it was wearing layers of armor. The silent cold not only eroded its body, but also permeated the nearby air.

"It's a little cold now."

Arisa muttered something, and then, like Latica, took the little gadget that Sera had made with her hands.

Like a drop of water that sealed a flame, azure fireworks sparkled in the sea-blue mana crystals. As the mana was consumed, a constant flow of heat emanated from the body, bringing soothing warmth to the body. Faintly, the spirit also became uplifted.

"It's like magic crystal, but purer."

Looking at the beautiful crystal in her hand, Latika had a strange idea - if she ate it, would it have a better warming effect?

"Latika, you don't want to eat it, do you?"

Her suspicious actions aroused Sera's vigilance. As a manufacturer, she hurriedly explained its inedible nature. If the crystals that slowly consumed mana suddenly increased their consumption rate due to an unexpected event, the tragic consequence would be an explosion.

However, I didn't use Mana much when I was making it, probably just to blow people half to pieces.

Sera seemed to be sweating coldly as she thought about the possible consequences. She was surprised at how smoothly she made the props, but also wary of making props in the future.

Just in case, be sure to prepare the instructions carefully!

"Hi, Patty~ Sister Mia is here to see you."

The short journey came to an end with the footsteps of everyone. In the clear world of frost and snow, the romantic autumn greeted the pure winter.

Winter snowflakes sit on trees carved out of ice. The smooth icy branches reflect the simple yet pure world like a kaleidoscope, making the girl with snow-white hair appear even more lonely and quiet.

A pair of red eyes like rubies looked down from the tree at the people whose color was completely different from the snow. Suddenly, the winter elf, which was glowing with light, trotted over on the ice and snow that paved the way for her in the air. Her light skirt fluttered with it, like drifting snowflakes.

Like a young swallow returning to its nest, the small winter plunged into the fruitful autumn, performing a harmonious and beautiful drama in front of Sera and the others.

"Sister Mia, why are you walking with someone outside?"

The voice of the winter elf Patty was soft and childish, revealing a naive childishness. However, the first sentence had a hint of hostility, which made Sera and the others feel uneasy.

"There's a reason. There are monsters out there that want to destroy the forest we all depend on for survival, so I decided to go out with them to protect our common home."

"Can Patty come too?"

The gentle tone of coaxing a child was very effective. Patty, who was already showing hesitation, broke away from Mia's arms. She stared at the stranger she had never seen before, and suddenly pointed at Sera, who had the same hair color as her, like a little adult.

"What's your name?"

"Hey? My name is Sierra. What's the problem, Miss Patty?"

Facing her careful gaze, Sera answered in confusion, the lovely face of the winter elf reflected in her clear blue eyes.

"Your eyes are beautiful, though not as beautiful as Patty's."

A winter elf of similar height came closer, and the words he said probably made Sera understand why she was paying attention to her. After a while, the ridiculous innocence lasted for a while, and then it led to an inexplicable result.

"Since it's Sera, who's as cute as Patty, then Patty agrees to go with you and Sister Mia to fight the monsters that are harming the forest."

"But..." As if she had thought of something interesting, Petty's eyes brightened up more than ever before. "From now on, Sera wants to be Petty's sister for a while! Petty also wants to be a sister!"

"Eh!?"

Sera made a confused sound that should have been made by Arisa, and before she could respond with a wonderful look on her face, the two friends next to her happily agreed.

"No problem, please let me watch when the time comes!" Arisa said with a giggle.

"Indeed, Sera-chan and Patty-chan, if their clothing styles are similar, they are indeed sisters." Latika suggested with a thoughtful smile.

"That's settled then. I'm also looking forward to the sisterhood between little Sera and little Patty." Mia smiled softly, covering her mouth.

"you……"

Sera, who was sold at a good price, immediately fell in expression. She had not expected that she, who had been the leader all along, would be sold out in an instant.

"Be good, Sera, call me sister."

With his hands on his hips and a rather dignified posture, Petty forced Serra, who was quietly retreating, to retreat.

This development doesn't make sense at all! I finally understand why the Four Seasons Spirits were locked up, woo.

56. Everyone we met unexpectedly

Uh uh uh……

Sera, with a sullen look on her face, followed everyone in the maze. After suddenly having a sister in the future, she felt that this mission had begun to change.

"Sera, won't you come up and sit?"

The "sister's" particularly caring words echoed in the team, causing everyone to chuckle. Even though they didn't look at each other, Sera could clearly feel the happy look in their eyes.

"Thanks for your concern, Patty, but I'm not tired yet."

Responding to the winter elf sitting on the shoulder of the dust colossus, Sera silently gave Mr. Orange a thumbs up. Now she has a headache whenever she sees Petey's cute face.

Just think about it, if there is a little girl who looks the same age and is of similar height as you and is always trying to gain the vanity of being the eldest sister from you, what will you do if you have no intention of joining in the game of playing house?

"Well……"

Walking down on the ice and snow, the innocent Patty acted as if "as the eldest sister, I must lead by example", and her rosy white feet had already touched the grass with ice chips.

"If my younger sister can do it, then Patty, as her older sister, should do even better!"

"Well said, little Patty has grown up."

The little girl with snow-white hair and red eyes puffed out her meager chest in the praise of Mia, the Autumn Elf, and walked side by side with Sera with silver hair and blue eyes, and they seemed to have an inexplicable sisterly demeanor.

However, it remains to be seen who is the elder sister and who is the younger sister between the arrogant Patty and the helpless Sierra.

The first time was familiar, the second time was even more familiar. The winding maze was no longer a problem under her guidance. However, its time-consuming nature remained, making the following time extremely boring.

However, as if sensing the boredom in everyone's hearts, a sudden change in the wind brought with it a breath of air from the other end of the maze.

Familiar and gentle, even after going through a maze of twists and turns, the familiar aura is still as dazzling as the morning star in the night sky.

Sera's eyes met Arisa's, and confirming the same feeling, they immediately understood each other's same thoughts.

"Hey, it's Lav. She's out too?"

"It's Lisa, Kokoro, and Mistrina, huh..."

Mia and Sera's speeches rang out at the same time, and their respective perceptions of familiar faces mixed together. Soon, everyone understood the situation on the other side.

"It seems that Lisa and the others have also persuaded a four-season elf. Now our task will be easier."

Arisa cheered and then asked about Sera.

"But, since Lisa and the others are coming too, why did you wake me up so early, Sera?"

"Because you are closest to me and have the lowest status, I grabbed you first to make up the number."

After being tricked by Arisa, Sera used vicious words to embellish the specific situation, leaving Arisa stunned after hearing the answer.

"Sera, you..."

"What? You don't want to accept the facts? You're just a newly-promoted forest ranger. You look so stupid that you're easy to control. Humph."

When it comes to a quarrel, Sera feels that she has no rivals in the forest, and the fact seems to be so. After a few words, Arisa was hit speechless, and her depressed expression continued until the two teams met unexpectedly.

The warm spring comes with three familiar figures. When the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter converge, the young people who had previously formed a team to participate in the battle against the Demon Heart Bug also reunited together, uniting for the final summer that has not yet returned.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Latika, a mutual friend of Arisa and I from Yggdrasil."

After a happy greeting, Sera introduced Latika, who had not yet joined the circle.

Lisa and Kokoro smiled and took note of Latica's appearance, while Tigress waved cheerfully. However, Mistlina, who was also from Natara, reacted excitedly.

"Latica, so you went to Yggdrasil. No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere."

"Hey, Mistrina, it's been a long time."

The greetings exchanged were filled with the emotion of meeting friends again. However, at this moment, no matter how many words there were, they had to give way to the important mission objectives.

"Set off towards the last Summer Spirit!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted these words in the bustling scene, and immediately, the large and heroic team formed a unique scenic belt in the maze, and their vigorous momentum was unstoppable at a glance.

And at the secret moment, when the warm spring, the fruitful autumn and the bitter winter are present at the same time, this strange space covered by the barrier gradually wakes up from its slumber.

The green earth and stone walls of the maze flickered with strange patterns, and the strange mana that was hidden but not released rushed into everyone's perception like a wild beast, putting a heavy burden on the unguarded spirits.

"The old guys out there really want us to go out and help. They've even lifted the restrictions on 'Drut'."

Although she is a young and beautiful girl, the Spring Elf Lav speaks in an old-fashioned manner, and the "Druut" she mentions is the name given to the tree people created by the Four Seasons Elves.

"Of course. We need to concentrate our forces to face the alien threat that threatens the forest."

According to my experience as an observer at the meeting, Sera said these words as she was moving forward. Her righteous expression caught Patty's eyes, and the little girl, who already had a good impression of her, had stars in her eyes.

"Sera is right. Although the old guy is hateful, the alien species that harm the forest is even more hateful!"

Clenching his white and tender fists, Petty, who looked fierce and aggressive, seemed to be eager to punch the alien species he had never seen before.

"Haha." The team was immediately filled with laughter at how cute Patty was.

The last summer spirit is called Shire, and its home is a blue lake formed by several waterfalls. The towering upstream area surrounds the lake like a thousand-foot wall, forming a cool lake that is very comfortable to think about in the summer.

According to the conversation on the way, this should be what Sera and the others knew. However, when they arrived at their destination with the idea that they could still swim and play, the unexpected scene shocked them.

The blue waterfall is still flowing without stopping, but the vast lake is no longer as calm as people long for. The huge whirlpool sweeps up the huge flow of water, like a vicious beast lurking in the center of the lake, devouring the surrounding water without stopping.

"Did the Summer Elf dig a hole at the bottom of the lake..."

Sera asked dryly, and with a premonition, she knew that the most difficult part of the entire mission had arrived.

Why can't we just relax for once?

Sera sighed softly in her heart and was about to discuss countermeasures with everyone when she suddenly heard a completely different sound.

The ancient pulse hums, calling for others' attention, and the resonance evoked from the spiritual level can only be triggered by those who are qualified.

"strangeness."

Why do I hear this kind of call in this strange space covered by the barrier? It always feels not good.

57. A summer full of action

The rippling waves kept flowing, and the turbulent flow made the whirlpool in the center of the lake look even more frightening. Countless swirling water lines were stacked one after another, and even if you were on the shore, you could imagine the unpredictable scene inside the whirlpool.

"I can't feel any trace of Xia!"

A surprised cry and an incredible look appeared on the face of the Spring Elf Lafu. The young and beautiful girl looked around, but all she got was a dull scene with no response.

"Looks like we have to go downstairs."

Serra's speech was agreed by most people, but there were more differences on the issue of how to enter.

"Has anyone mastered the magic of breathing underwater?"

Lisa, holding the sacred tree staff, asked this question, excluding herself from the conversation as soon as she opened her mouth, and then received a round of obvious shakes of the head.

"Will the defensive magic of forming cavitation bubbles underwater work? Although it's a bit slow, after determining the location, I can try long-distance space teleportation."

"Lord Sera is truly reliable."

After Kokoro's praise, everyone agreed to Sera's plan because they thought this method was feasible. In an instant, the girl's powerful mana attached to everyone's body. As long as they got into the water, the spell she wove could unfold a bubble where people could survive.

"I'll come first!"

The sharp sword was hidden in the sturdy shield. Mistlina, armed with weapons on her back, showed an eager look. She jumped out of the shore quickly, and her skirt bloomed like a flower. She fell into the lake with a graceful posture like the wind, with few splashes and ripples.

"Everyone, no problem!"

Wrapped in a bubble that faintly scattered colorful light and floated up to the lake, Mistrina waved upwards, having proved the feasibility of the plan with her own experience.
