Summoning the Holy Sword

Chapter 1094 - Fated Turnover



Chapter 1094: Fated Turnover

“Say… are we really going there?”

Gazing at the research facilities in the distance, Canary swallowed her saliva. She couldn’t be blamed because right now, she was only an ordinary university freshman and wasn’t that powerful character in the game who could exercise magical powers. Even though Erin was beside them, Canary felt like everything was too ridiculous.

“But that’s the core of the Americas Region which prohibits outsiders. If we are discovered, it might lead to issues between countries. Say… we’d better discuss this issue with someone else… such as reporting it to the higher-ups or something…”

“Why did you become so timid all of a sudden, Big Sister?” On the contrary, Mini Bubble Gum, who wore a pitch-black helmet and tight-fitting spacesuit, curled her lips in disdain. It was apparent that she was disapproving of Canary’s words. “We already made it here; are you still thinking of heading back now? Besides, how should we explain to the rest after we return? Hmph. Since Big Sister Erin is willing to seek help from us, we can only give it a shot. Also, aren’t you curious about what those scoundrels are up to? According to Big Sister Erin, she only detected the presence of Chaos in the Americas Region. Those scoundrels must be researching some annoying, illegal technologies! For the peace of mankind and the world, we have the incumbent duty to destroy the threats to our world! We can’t always leave it to the group of whites to rescue the world on the screens!”

“I don’t think that’s the issue here…”

Canary let out a helpless sigh at Mini Bubble Gum’s bizarre thoughts.

“It’s fine. Didn’t Her Highness Erin say that it was destroyed in the ambush earlier? We’re only going to look for some clues. Hurry up, Big Sister, or it will be too late.”

“… Okay then.”

Canary nodded reluctantly. Fortunately for them, they were following Erin’s lead and heading to a base that was destroyed by her to gather information. If it required them to sneak through a heavily-guarded, metal fortress, Canary would never agree to Mini Bubble Gum’s fanatical suggestion. After all, they were only two weak and fragile young ladies!

But come to think of it, Canary had to admit that she was really curious since they knew who the Chaos Beings were in the game. But that was in the game, after all. It was as though the players were familiar with Zerg units in StarCraft, but it didn’t mean that they would be thrilled to ask for a group photo or autograph if a dune-runner or Sarah Kerrigan were to show up before them one day.

But now…

Kacha———

In a soft mechanical click, the tattered, steel door opened gradually. Erin drifted in leisurely without wearing an oxygen mask, helmet, or spacesuit as though the extreme cold and vacuum that were extremely harmful to humans had no effects on her at all. Not only that, but her black, long hair also fluttered elegantly as she moved and some bright lights could even be seen flickering off her dreamily.

“…”

After gazing at Erin from the back, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum exchanged looks with each other. They had to admit that this ruined research facility gave them a bad feeling. The pale emergency lights extended down the corridor and due to the unstable voltage, they flickered from time to time. The maroon emergency exit sign looked unusually conspicuous in the darkness. The fragments of man-made gravity devices that were no longer effective were scattered and floating in midair like a scene from a sci-fi horror movie.

“I wonder if some aliens would jump out of nowhere…”

“Bubble! I’m heading back if you keep mentioning such things!”

Canary couldn’t help but feel a shiver down her spine. She knitted her brows and gazed at the ruins before them. On the other hand, Mini Bubble Gum burst into laughter, followed Erin closely and jumped into the ruins. Looking at this scene, Canary shook her head helplessly. Perhaps even Mini Bubble Gum didn’t realize that no matter what they chose, they were forced to follow this path. After all, Erin was so powerful and Canary refused to believe that Erin would let them off easily if they defied her. Even though Canary had thought of calling the cops while Erin wasn’t aware, she eventually gave up on that thought. On one hand, the difference in strength between them was too huge and right now, they were like conscious hostages. On the other, Canary had to admit that she was interested in this to a certain degree.

It wasn’t empty talk that Erin needed their help. Although Erin was able to speak to them using spiritual communications, she couldn’t understand their language at all. It was due to this that Erin needed their help. This moon princess wasn’t joking around.

The journey was much more peaceful than they had imagined.

There were no strange creatures that jumped out of the pitch-black rooms nor eerie ghosts that disturbed them. Under Erin’s lead, the trio arrived at the central area of the facility.

“This is the place.”

Erin puckered her brows. She placed her hand on her chin, narrowed her eyes and scanned the heavy, steel door on the ground that seemed to lead them into a long, vertical, and pitch-black tunnel.

“I can feel the heavy presence of Chaos down there.”

“Hmm… what’s this… is it possible that they placed the apostles in there?”

“Anyway, it shouldn’t be a nuclear reactor down there.”

Canary interrupted Mini Bubble Gum’s frantic words and scanned the signs printed with ‘Top Secret’ and ‘No Access’. After ensuring there wasn’t any sign for radiation warning, she heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, Canary was also worried about the so-called presence of Chaos that Erin was searching for. If that was actually the nuclear reactor… could it be that Erin decided to destroy all of them? But it seemed like she didn’t need to worry about this possibility, at the very least.

“But we can’t open this thing…”

Since it was a top-secret, it was only right for it to be sealed by the heavy, steel door. But it was a pity that be it Canary or Mini Bubble Gum, they were only ordinary young ladies in reality. They were neither members of special forces with professional hacking skills like in the movies nor secret agents with special missions. It was only normal that they had no ways around this heavy, steel door.

But there was someone extraordinary here.

“Leave it to me.”

Upon hearing Canary’s response, Erin smiled and drifted forward. She gazed at the steel door, widened her mouth, and along with her action, a small ball of bright light like a certain coalesced power emerged.

The moon princess sucked in a deep breath of air…

At the next moment, a dazzling radiance flashed and eradicated all darkness. In an instant, the dark, gloomy ruins lit up. Even though there were no sounds, the glaring, white brilliance was enough to prove how powerful it was. The brightness dissipated after a few seconds and the heavy, steel door before them had vanished completely, leaving behind several pieces of fragments to prove its existence.

“…”

Looking at this scene, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum took in a breath of cold air. Even though they witnessed how powerful the moon princess was in the game, there would be no shock without contrast. Especially after personally witnessing this, they felt the might of an unprecedented and powerful strength.

“Alright then, let’s go.”

Erin had no reaction at all. She smiled, turned to the red emergency light that spun crazily due to the ‘abnormal damage’, and strolled into the steel tunnel. On the other hand, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary exchanged looks with each other before following her closely.

Even though there were also traces of damage in the steel tunnel, the damage was smaller than they expected, perhaps due to Erin holding back. Shortly after, the trio reached the bottom of the steel tunnel and as soon as they touched the ground, even Erin with her calm expression widened her eyes in astonishment.

“What is that…”

Mini Bubble Gum opened her eyes wide in surprise.

What presented before them was an enormous, oval hole laid with all sorts of mechanical devices. However, these weren’t the most important details. What attracted their attention the most was the object imprisoned by three mechanical obelisks in the middle. That object looked like a one-meter-long rectangular black slate, spinning slowly in midair as a mysterious circle of a faint tint wrapped around it entirely.

“What is that thing?”

Canary knitted her brows and asked. She didn’t remember seeing something similar to it in the game. Mini Bubble Gum shook her head and shifted her gaze to Erin. But facing their queries, Erin had no idea at all.

“How strange… I can feel the presence of Chaos and Order from it… what exactly is that?”

The trio stood before the black slate. Erin pondered in silence before extending her arm forward…

“————!”

At the same time, an ear-piercing voice erupted from deep inside their souls. Despite Canary and Mini Bubble Gum being clad in sealed spacesuits, they couldn’t help but also hear the strange and unpleasant voice. They knitted their brows and shortly after, they realized the radiance surrounding the slate had brightened abruptly. Then, the shadows enveloping the ground and sky twisted and took shape into a terrifying life-form!

“Oh-no, they are Chaos Beasts!”

Looking at the creatures, Mini Bubble Gum shrieked in panic. At the same time, the Chaos Beasts snapped their jaws open and pounced on them furiously!

“Argh!”

Erin grimaced and extended her arm forward quickly. Along with her movement, a bright, star-like radiance erupted from her surroundings, instantly penetrating hundreds of Chaos Beasts. Then, the magical brilliance encircling her shone brighter, turning into a defensive shield that resisted their ambush.

But no one noticed that at the same time, a glaring halo erupted from the black slate and expanded to the surroundings.

Swish——!

As the radiance approached closer to them, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum discovered the scene before them changed completely!

The pitch-black, run-down ruins disappeared abruptly, only to be replaced with a world of red. The blazing heat struck their faces. The scarlet sky and dried land linked up to form a whole new world. The air consisting of death and heat coalesced into a most extreme evil that couldn’t be dissolved in eternity.

“This is…”

“What’s going on! Where is this damn place?! Where did those Chaos Beasts come from!”

Erin turned around in astonishment, only to realize a sacred beam of horizontal light had swept across and eradicated the Chaos Beasts. Then, the scorching blaze erupted and raged into the sky.
