She fled the Illusory Dream Realm in an utterly bedraggled state, with Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi and the Origin Witch in tow.
The instant Su Youzi awoke from that gray, hazy dream--
what she saw was the 'disaster' caused by 198 Beginner Combat Records being infused into the Origin Witch.
In the real world... pinkish-purple light rippled like a distorted temporal storm, sweeping across the Luluye.
Time warped, growing chaotic.
The world rose and fell, sinking into ruin.
The food-grade stainless-steel table before them took on an utterly abnormal appearance amid the rippling pinkish-purple light.
Between the ripples... the table retained its original form, reflecting the pinkish-purple light and glittering brightly.
Across the ripples... the tabletop rotted and withered.
Even the sturdiest steel could not escape the erosion of time. Before an eternity, it was ground to pieces with ease and scattered into dust.
Thankfully--
that eerie and terrifying runaway light vanished along with the Origin Witch's awakening.
"Phew--"
"Phew, phew--"
Su Youzi held Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi and the Origin Witch on either side. The girl's chest rose and fell repeatedly, and she still looked pale and shaken.
Then--
just as Su Youzi was catching her breath and resting, creak-creak-creak--
the steel beneath them suddenly began to emit a teeth-grating twisting sound.
Clang-clang-clang--
The severely damaged lower hold of the Luluye collapsed with a thunderous crash.
By the time Kujo Iruka and the others dug Su Youzi and the others out, nearly fifteen minutes had passed.
Faced with such bizarre damage, even Kujo Iruka's Jialan seemed unable to do much.
Besides... Kujo Iruka did not dare use Jialan recklessly.
What if she restored the steel of the Luluye by accident, but Su Youzi and the others were not restored along with it? Wouldn't they end up trapped inside?
Wait--
Kujo Iruka
