Chapter 589
That's right, the above is not some mysterious explanation of unknown origin, but a clear voice coming from all directions.
Seele was very familiar with that voice, after all, she had been arguing with the owner of that voice for the past few days.
"Get out here, Anzu!"
"Hmph! You vulgar and rude idiot!"
Who are you calling an idiot?
"So you're admitting to being vulgar and rude?"
"Huh? You bastard, are you deliberately picking a fight?"
"So what if it is!"
Foreheads collided with a loud thud, two pairs of fierce eyes staring directly at each other, as if tigers and leopards with bared fangs and claws were emerging behind them.
"Hey, didn't you always complain that I was annoying? Why are you coming to see me now? Did you develop feelings for me after all those fights? Are you really infatuated with me?"
"Huh? Who gave you that confidence? Is Belobog a place that breeds sluts?"
A monster suddenly appeared beside them: "Roar—"
"Ugh, get out of here!" ×2
Scythes and rapiers swung, weaving a magnificent yet deadly web of death, while approaching monsters vanished in an instant.
"Hmph!" ×2
After eliminating the distractions, the two looked at each other again and snorted coldly in unison.
Then, they walked side by side on the treacherous streets of Rivet Town.
Seele pouted unhappily, but for the sake of the matter at hand, she took the initiative to explain:
"There's a supply warehouse to the south. We looted it last time and there were some odds and ends left. I remember there were some bottles and jars that looked like medicine. I'm planning to go and pack all those things up and take them with me."
"Um."
"So, you're really here to help? Are you sure?"
"After all, you're the chess piece I chose. If you break before I even get to use you, I'll be in big trouble."
Xing finished speaking coldly, adding a signature sneer.
Seele's lips curled into a smile. Sharing the same proud and hot-tempered nature, she was able to discern the concern hidden beneath that aggressive exterior.
Without further ado, the two headed toward their destination.
Several days of continuous fighting had forged a tacit understanding between the experts. Both sides were familiar with each other's abilities, so they cooperated to clear out the monsters, which felt like a tacit understanding from years of cooperation. They both felt very comfortable with each other's work—well, actually, that's how Seele felt.
As for Xing, if she can't even cooperate with the natives of a planet with her skill level, then all that experience she's accumulated will have been for nothing.
"Hey, you really are the young lady from the upper-class district, aren't you?"
Why do you ask that?
After a fleeting moment of flashing swords, the two stood back to back, conversing amidst the scene of the fallen monster.
Seele flicked her scythe, glanced sideways at Apricot's flowing two-tone hair, and said:
"Those words just now, Belobog's despair and all that... most people don't have time to think about these things, nor could they possibly explain them so clearly."
"He actually listened? It seems his barren brain has a bit more weight than I thought."
"So what do you mean? Are you trying to persuade me to understand the upper echelons' decision with these words? Or are you trying to get me to cooperate with your secret plan or something?"
"I'm just telling you that saving Belobog is a monumental task that none of the Great Guardian in the past seven hundred years have been able to accomplish. For this, one person has already given up everything—life, body, spirit, soul, and dignity... Therefore, you'd better be prepared that I will not hesitate to throw in any useful people if necessary, including you."
As she spoke the last sentence, Xing turned around, provocatively lifting Seele's chin and gently stroking it, her eyes gleaming with an extremely dangerous cold light.
Seele had never been treated like this before.
However, she was ultimately a genuine young girl, and from this provocative gesture, she instinctively felt shy.
"Smack!"
Fortunately, the leader's pride and dignity were not to be trifled with, Seele decisively overcame this instinct and slapped Xing's hand away.
"You and your accomplices, if you really have a way to solve the problem... go ahead and pressure me, Seele, I won't even flinch!"
Seele gave herself a thumbs-up, pointing firmly and fearlessly.
Xing read absolute seriousness in her eyes. A smirk appeared on her lips, a blatant and menacing smile spreading across her face.
"I think I don't hate you as much anymore."
"Likewise. So stop with the nonsense, the Fragmentum is not a place to waste time."
Seele returned the same arrogant and proud smile, staring directly into Xing's eyes without showing any weakness.
It felt as if there was a crackling electric current clashing between them in their line of sight.
Xing then stepped back to the sides, clearing the way.
"I'm not familiar with this place, please lead the way."
"Then keep up well, I won't come to rescue you if you get lost."
There was no more dialogue after that; only decisive killing and advancing remained.
"A whole cartload... You're really messing around, Seele!"
Natasha saw a lot of supplies, but her first reaction was close to rage.
First of all, I had already warned Seele not to recklessly step into the Fragmentum just because she is strong. It is a forbidden zone for life, and even the strongest person can die in an accident that no one knows about if they are not careful.
Secondly, even if one were to enter the Fragmentum and return with just a small package, it would be risky enough. For Seele to pull such a heavy cart back would mean certain death if she were ambushed within the Fragmentum.
"Wait! Don't be angry, I only did this because I had bodyguards with me! Look, they're experts who are just as good as me!"
"To be precise, you have always been my defeated opponent."
"That's because I didn't use my full strength!"
"Ah, right, right, it must be because the floor was too slippery, the weather was too hot, the light was too dim, and my hands were sweaty, so the sickle slipped... Anyway, it's not because I'm not good enough."
Xing spread her hands in agreement and shrugged.
"Bang!"
Then their foreheads collided, and they stared at each other with murderous intent once again.
Natasha's gaze darted back and forth between the two men. She rubbed her forehead and shook her head, unsure of what to do.
'However, it seems different from what was expected.'
Look at their fierce fighting spirit, neither of them willing to give in. They're clearly two proud kids having a little squabble.
Natasha wouldn't let her guard down because of this, but when she touched the trailer full of supplies, she couldn't help but smile.
"Although it was reckless and should not be repeated, it did solve the immediate problem. Seele, and this unfamiliar lady, how about you go inside to rest and have a glass of water?"
Seele: "No problem, I was thirsty anyway."
Xing: "I don't care."
Anyway, all the set arrangements were done, and the older sister Natasha in front of us—well, it can't be said that she's more feminine than the island Raven, but they each have their own advantages, and she's very attractive.
Don't just focus on sightseeing, I've already arrived!
Above the snow-covered white planet, a magnificent, classically styled, massive train rumbled in, then sounded its siren.
Ninti let March 7th hug her, looked down at the planet below the car window, and sighed about the work ahead.
