The storm was so severe that the hard steel of the outer bulkhead of Qicheng's mobile city was as fragile as catkins in the wind, blown apart and cracked into tiny pieces by the fierce storm of Originium energy.
Through the layers of air mixed with violent Origin Stone energy, Han Baiyi's blurry figure could only be seen faintly standing in the center of the technique.
Although it seemed easy to talk to the Shining before, Skadi was completely suppressed by the storm of Origin Stone energy as violent as a tsunami when he only got as close as 40 to 50 meters in front of Mr. Bai. He couldn't even move forward.
I no longer have the strength to take a step.
Even simply standing is extremely difficult.
An ordinary person would probably have been torn into pieces of flesh and blood by this terrifying storm.
At this time, I saw Skadi holding a big sword, and the tip of the big sword, which was as long as his body, penetrated the ground for more than half a meter.
But even so, her body was still pushed backwards by the shock wave. The sword tip that penetrated the ground tore a long scratch on the outer wall of the city, and her silky silver hair was almost pulled into a straight line.
The howling of the wind in his ears was mixed with bursts of heartbeats like drums, and the veins and muscles on the arm holding the sword hilt swelled at the same time.
His red eyes were full of desperate stubbornness.
Skadi knew from a long time ago,
She is a unique [person].
In the laboratory where she had lived since she was a child, she had always been different from the others.
She could not master the Origin Stone skills that others could easily master after seeing them hundreds of times. She could only grasp the superficial knowledge of magic theory that she could understand immediately after studying it a dozen times.
Even if 'they' later told themselves that this was because she was a perfect product of debugging and was the most suitable warrior to fight against the [disaster] from the deep sea, they could not dispel her deeply buried sense of strangeness.
She is different.
She is strong.
The strong are born to be high and enjoy the loneliness of being cold at high places.
At the same time, she is also a [monster].
A [monster] that brings bad luck and misfortune to others.
Everyone around her will be cursed related to her.
These are what ‘they’ told themselves.
Skadi didn't believe it at first.
Who would believe a bunch of baseless rumors at the best start of their life?
Until she fought life and death with those [disasters] in the deep sea again and again, was surrounded by dangers under the sea surface again and again, and watched people who had just gained some recognition from her die inexplicably again and again.
He died because he was weak.
And Skadi also blamed himself and regretted time and again for failing to protect his teammates, his acquaintances, and the people he recognized.
A life immersed in regret is often extremely sad and terrifying.
Because they will lead people to one extreme after another.
As a result, Skadi gradually closed her heart, dried up herself, and tried her best to avoid communication and interaction with others.
To this day, Skadi still remembers what she said to herself that morning three years ago when she woke up from a light sleep nightmare.
"The nightmare that haunts me, sing a song."
If we were not so afraid of harming other people's lives that we were almost accustomed to it, who could be so calm?
If she wasn't thinking about other people's lives, how could Miss Orca, who lives in groups by nature, always be alone?
This was a choice she was forced to make after countless lives piled up into mountains of corpses.
Later, Skadi did exactly that.
Walking alone,
It's been many years since I left.
You should know that killer whales are social animals, and unless they are lost or injured and stranded, they rarely leave the group and move alone.
Even if there is a quarrel between companions, everyone can bite their tongues and apologize and reconcile, and in the end they will still be the closest friends.
But the saddest thing about reason is that it can always make gentle people learn how to be cruel to themselves.
Over the years, the loneliness and pain that Miss Orca has carried in her dull head is probably no less than that of a human wandering alone in the deep mountains and forests.
She is always confused. Even if she is called a monster by others, she has no expression. She is too lazy to get angry when she is misunderstood. She just calculates how many Dragon Gate coins she still has in her pocket when she has time, and how many bounties she still needs to pick up this month.
After finishing the calculation, he sat alone on the edge of the bed, leaning on his sword, staring at the sky like the sea in a daze.
It feels so good to be down to earth.
People on land are really happy because they don't have to face the weird seaweed around them and the alien disasters hidden inside.
When I wake up every day, my body is dry and refreshing. It feels so good to not have the itchy feeling of being soaked in sea water and being dried out and turned into lumps of salt.
It's just that I always feel like something is missing.
Skadi didn't want to think or think deeply.
It's fine to be dull and slow. There is no need to become so smart and cause trouble for yourself.
Skadi has always thought so.
Until that day, she had a fight with Mr. Bai, who had just arrived in Londinium, because of a certain bounty mission.
But at the last moment, Mr. Bai deliberately missed the fatal blow.
She herself was scratched on the shoulder because she couldn't avoid it in time, and she sat on the ground stupidly.
Originally, they were confronting each other seriously, but he didn't expect that he would take advantage of her distraction, suddenly pinch her face, and look at her unusually red eyes and laugh.
"I admire you very much."
Skadi remembered very clearly that when Mr. Bai smiled, his eyes would squint and curve like willow leaves.
Then there will be a small "thud" sound in the heart, as if being hit by something.
Only you can hear it.
Skadi felt at that time that if she had a companion, this would be it, right?
She doesn't know either.
However, if you have to prove it, you can.
Because during the period when she became Mr. Bai's companion, she would sleep very deeply every night when she kept watch for Mr. Bai.
It's like being able to fall into the same dreamland as Mr. Bai.
Until the daytime, when Miss Shining came to wake them up, there would be no nightmares.
Maybe he was driven away by Mr. Bai?
Then Mr. Bai would get up, rub his eyes, look at her dazed look with a helpless look on his face, and ask her to go back to his room with a big soft bed to sleep.
In the end, I could only sigh and watch myself curl up on the sofa closest to my desk and doze off.
Although Mr. Bai always talks about stiff neck, poor sleep quality and other incomprehensible words, for Skadi, as long as Mr. Bai is next to him, even if it is a hard desk, it is a bit intimidating.
She can sleep very comfortably on the soft grass.
Companions, isn’t that what they are?
so......
We must drag Mr. Bai out of that mutated technique.
Skadi raised his head and looked at Han Baiyi standing in the center of the storm, gritting his teeth tightly.
The wind is still blowing.
Skadi's body curled up slightly under the continuous impact of the huge waves, and all the muscles in his body were squeezed to the limit like springs.
The skin all over his body turned as dark red as blood.
Skadi pursed her lips tightly, frowning slightly on her usually expressionless face, her dark red eyes narrowed, and her little nose wrinkled, as if she was enduring great pain.
呲——
Without any warning, a fine mist of blood suddenly burst out on the skin of his forearm.
Puff.
Then, tiny blood flowers exploded one after another on the surface of the body. As soon as the blood foam flew into the air, it was immediately blown away by the hurricane that rolled like a whirlpool.
Skadi was still holding the big sword and stood motionless, his red eyes staring straight ahead.
Staring at the blurry figure ahead.
Sizzling——
The sword that pierced the outer wall of the city made an extremely harsh metal friction sound, and scraped out streaks of golden flames with flying stars.
But this time, it's not backwards.
But move forward.
He still relied on the big sword to stabilize his body, but Skadi's slender and graceful body burst out with huge power that ordinary people could not imagine.
The body with almost blood-colored skin on the surface was fixed by the giant sword, step by step, moving with difficulty amid a violent shock wave that could tear the concrete floor into the smallest structure.
Even his body seemed to be disintegrating inch by inch.
Skadi is a monster.
She herself admits that she is a monster.
She was born to restrain the energy of the Origin Stone. There is no trace of the Energy of the Origin Stone in her body. All battles rely on this terrifying body that is more powerful than a real giant whale.
In front of this monster-like body, even the [disaster] under the sea is no match for her.
So, if it were her, she would definitely be able to do it.
"Dong dong dong——"
The heart keeps making a loud sound like a drum, and with each beat it expands and contracts at a speed that ordinary people cannot bear, pumping a large amount of blood into the blood vessels, bringing a steady stream of power.
The muscles swelled, the blood vessels dilated, the pupils kept shrinking, and parts of the skin on the body surface suddenly exploded under the dual effects of internal and external forces, blooming into fleeting brilliant flowers of blood, which then immediately disappeared in the wind.
【Elegy of the Surge】
This is an ability that Skadi developed himself.
In such a long time, she has only used it once in front of Mr. Bai.
Because she hasn't had time to perfect it yet.
However, although it is not perfect yet, although it still places a heavy burden on the body, although there are still many, many more serious flaws, although...
However, Mr. Bai is indeed a little more important.
Boom.
Another step down.
The blood vapor evaporated by the high heat was floating around Skadi's body like steam, and his whole body was wrapped in blood-colored mist.
The blood-colored mist lingered, even the violent hurricane could not blow it away, dyeing Skadi's most proud silky silver hair blood-colored.
Skadi struggled to open his eyes, but everything in front of him became blurred due to massive blood loss, and his brain began to feel dizzy.
Obviously, overloading and using strength beyond the limit is not without cost.
In the end, even the sword under her hand, which was constantly tearing apart the steel and slashing forward, slowly lost its power and shook slightly.
Skadi opened her eyes hard, but her eyelids couldn't stop sliding down, and her neck, which had always been stiff, lost strength and gradually drooped.
The body began to become weak.
Without blood, there is no strength.
Skadi still understands this simple truth.
His light body seemed to be flying away with the hurricane, and he didn't even have the strength to hold on to the hilt of the sword. It was as if everything in his body had been burned cleanly.
However, there was still unwillingness in her red eyes.
'Is...that's all I can do?'
This thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
All thoughts are lost.
Finally, Skadi lowered his head, held the hilt of his sword, and called out in a very weak voice across the long distance and the blur in front of him.
"...Mr. Bai."
"Um."
"..."
"???"
Skadi was startled when he heard the sound.
In an instant, even the surrounding storm that could tear apart steel suddenly stopped, just like a summer rainstorm that disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Han Baiyi didn't know when he appeared in front of her. He seemed to be very distressed. He carefully reached out and held up her dyed red hair.
