Danger Will Eventually Pass / Rhodes Island Arrives

However, he knew that he would be at a great disadvantage in a direct confrontation, so he decided to use his most proficient assassination skills, just like when he attacked that prince on the Rhodes Island ship.

As long as he finds the right opportunity, it is not difficult for a master assassin like him to carry out the assassination and escape unscathed.

"Trying to run away? Not so easy! Whew~"

Seeing that the other party wanted to hide, Suika blew a breath, and strings of Little Suika reappeared and then spread out in all directions to search for those hiding.

These Little Suika use a particularly brutal method to find people: upon landing, they slam their Pain-Heaven Kick, creating deep craters within the area.

Although they couldn't find the other party, they also prevented them from approaching the fire from the surrounding area to assassinate Suika and the three children behind her.

Moreover, he was even more troubled by the loud noise that Suika was making. With such a commotion, his pursuers would definitely notice the problem and he would be caught sooner or later.

At this point, he began to consider whether he should retreat.

Even if he defeated these people, the pursuers would likely be nearby, leaving him with no way to escape.

At this moment, Suika amplifies her ability to balance Density and Sparsity, choosing the nearby riverbank as her target.

After the ability is activated, all living beings in the vicinity will subconsciously want to move closer to that direction.

The three little ones were in the same boat, but they were held in place by Little Suika and couldn't move.

After realizing he couldn't defeat Suika in a short time, the assassin decided to flee.

Unaware that he was being affected by the Suika's power, he chose to escape through the river, which would also make it easier to remove the scent from his body and prevent his pursuers from catching up in a short time.

But when he arrived at the river, he instinctively sensed something was wrong, because there were too many scales in the river, and many small animals such as Originium Bug had gathered on the riverbank.

Just as he was about to leave this strange place, Suika clasped her hands together, and a tremendous force of attraction emanated from the center of the river.

Before he could react, he was pulled into the water by the suction.

Then the flowing water carried him towards the water sphere that was constantly condensing in the air.

At this moment, he frantically swung the dagger in his hand, red light flashing continuously, trying to cleave the river water.

But the water flowed ceaselessly, splitting open one second and closing again the next, rendering his efforts futile.

"Glug glug..." He looked at Suika from inside the water sphere, but all he could see was her and the white and crimson figure behind her.

"Hey, little girl."

"Can I have this guy up there? He's my prey. I chased him all the way from Kazdel. If you kill him, I'll be at a huge loss."

Just as Suika's attention was focused on the water sphere, a flirtatious female voice sounded from behind her, and a cold dagger was placed against her neck without her noticing.

"How can you be so shameless... You let this guy live for another year?"

Suika didn't turn around, but said bluntly.

"Hmm, you know me? But I'm sure I don't know you!" The flippant voice turned serious, and the other person sized up Suika before speaking.

"Leite, take that badge out of my backpack and show it to this cockroach lady." Suika didn't turn around, but continued to control the water sphere in the sky.

At this moment, the Corpse-Wrapped Deathsworn inside did not give up struggling and continued to try to break through the water sphere and escape the trap.

Upon hearing Suika's words, Leite cautiously opened Suika's package, took out the Rhodes Island badge that Xia Li had given her, and then ran over to show it to the fierce-looking white-haired Sarkaz girl.

W's pupils contracted upon seeing the badge.

"You're from Rhodes Island!"

"I'm in charge of sending these three Infected children to Rhodes Island for treatment... To be honest, I don't want to run into him at all, and I especially don't want to run into you..." Suika said to herself without answering her question.

Chapter 139 Danger Will Eventually Pass

W glanced back at the three children not far away out of the corner of his eye.

The signs of Oripathy on their bodies were clearly visible; even W could tell that the three of them were seriously ill and required treatment.

Given her understanding of Rhodes Island's practices, it wasn't hard to understand why outside operators would send these children back to Rhodes Island; Rhodes Island did indeed frequently "pick up" people from various places.

W turned to look at Suika and frowned.

"But I don't know you. There's no one like you in my memory at the Babel."

"Of course, I never said I was from Babel; I have always represented Rhodes Island."

When that prince left, I heard with my own Banshee Court the funeral hymn sung for him in the Banshee Gorge...

Before Suika could finish speaking, she sensed W behind her become unusually agitated.

"You're lying. No one can enter the Banshee Valley without Banshee permission."

"I believe you know Logos. I've talked to him about this before, and here I am standing..." Suika turned to look at W calmly.

W swallowed hard. She naturally knew Logos, the most mysterious Banshee from the Banshee Court who followed Theresa's will. In terms of magic, they were among the best in the entire Babel. After Theresa's death, they did not choose to leave but stayed on Rhodes Island to continue fulfilling Theresa's last wishes.

"How do I know you're not lying to me?" W said this because he already believed Suika.

Suika reached out and pushed her dagger away.

"Because I have no reason to lie to you. I know what you're doing, and if you want to handle this personally, I can hand it over to you."

And I hope you'll promise me one thing... If someone arranges for you and your people to go to Ursus to Reunion Movement, give them a heads-up beforehand.

Remember, it was the Reunion Movement, not the New Reunion Movement.

After saying that Suika flicked her finger, and the water sphere moved closer to them.

"Beep beep beep!"

A bomb flew past Suika and into the water sphere, exploding the next second and turning all the creatures inside into a puddle of mush.

Fortunately, when she made her move, Suika managed to control the water sphere and prevent it from collapsing; otherwise, the force of the explosion would have soaked everyone present.

"You!" When Suika turned around to cause trouble for W, she had already disappeared from the spot.

Looking around, he couldn't find any trace of her. This cockroach heroine came like the wind and left like the wind, leaving nothing behind but her completed revenge.

Suika wasn't surprised by her departure. After all, given W's personality, she wasn't the type to have a proper conversation with people. If it weren't for the fact that Rhodes Island inherited Theresa's will, given her temper, the best choice would have been to send herself and her target to their deaths with a high-explosive bomb.

After Suika returned to the fire and sat down again, the three little ones finally came to their senses from the continuous battle.

At this moment, they admired Suika even more. Although they didn't know who the guy from before was, the dazzling rhythm of the battle between the two sides was beyond their comprehension.

Whitemane, in particular, looked at Suika with a gleam in her eyes.

After all, Suika and she were both girls. Seeing Suika, who was a few years older than her, able to fight with her bare hands and swallow the sun and moon, she also hoped that she could do the same.

"Is the wilderness always this dangerous?" Mograine asked in a low voice after everything around him had completely quieted down.

Suika shook her head

"How could that be? The wilderness is definitely more dangerous than the city."

However, I've encountered quite a few battles, both big and small, since I set off from Lungmen to get here, but compared to the intensity of the past few days, it's really unreasonable.

"If battles of this magnitude were to occur every day in the wilderness, ordinary people would have perished long ago."

Given the ordeal they've faced since leaving Karaton, let alone ordinary people, even a slightly weaker combat squad could have been wiped out.

That's why Suika was so glad that she had spent some money on in-game purchases before leaving the city, and the skills she received were quite good; otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to handle this situation.

Is this a sign that supplies must be replenished before a major battle?

When Suika goes to sleep at night, she releases a bunch of Little Suika to wander around. These clones are not strong enough to defeat any experts, but they can easily handle ordinary wild beasts or ordinary scavengers.

Moreover, given their numbers, even if someone wanted to target Suika and the others inside, it wouldn't be easy for them to break in.

She will also wake up and retaliate the moment her clone dies.

She had never done this before, after all, she was confident that she would wake up immediately if she encountered danger.

However, the intensity of the battles has been increasing over the past few days. From the scavengers at the beginning to the Needle Flea and then to the Corpse-Wrapped Deathsworn, she dares not imagine what she will encounter next.

Blood Demon Lord Dukale, or Nachzehrer King Netsuke, or Regent Theresis?

The thought sent a chill down her spine. Although she was currently in Victoria, it wasn't impossible for her to run into those three.

After all, these people are very likely discussing the big battle that will take place in Londinium a few years from now.

Fortunately, according to the map, they were not on the Londinium shipping route, and were quite far from Londinium.

But the series of battles still left Suika feeling exhausted and terrified.

Over the next few days, the three children noticed that Suika had quickened her pace. Thinking of the battles they had fought before, the three sensible children could understand her worries, so although they were very tired from traveling, they did not say a word and silently followed behind Suika.

"Everyone, get a good rest tonight. According to intelligence, Rhodes Island is located in a wilderness 15 kilometers away from us, and they will stay for at least three days."

We don't need to rush tomorrow; we can take our time walking over there. We'll definitely make it to board the ship in time.

You've all worked so hard these past few days. I'll cook dinner tonight... so you can try my cooking."

Upon hearing Suika's words, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The intensity of the past few days had left all three of them feeling quite exhausted, and the summer sun was extremely scorching. For these young children, this long-distance trek was already a transformative experience.

Halfway there, Mograine suffered a sudden Oripathy while resting due to overexertion (he carried Whitemane's backpack because he was worried Whitemane wouldn't be able to keep going).

Fortunately Suika had some syringes on hand, and she gave him a shot, which snatched him back from the brink of death.

Chapter 140 Arrival at Rhodes Island

Upon hearing Suika's words, the three little ones finally showed happy smiles.

"Sister Suika, have you ever been to Rhodes Island?" Mograine asked Suika.

"Like you, this is my first time going there too, but I believe you will have a great time there."

Because there are many good people on Rhodes Island.

After hearing Suika's words, hope shone in the eyes of the three of them. Although they had never seen Rhodes Island, Xia Li Xia Li told them about the people and things she had met Rhodes Island since Karaton. They also knew that it was an institution that specialized in researching Oripathy and that there were many children of similar age there. Therefore, they were very excited to go to Rhodes Island for treatment.

At this time, Rhodes Island was only a day's journey away, and they were quite excited at the thought of seeing that place the next day.

Meanwhile, on Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit wiped away sweat after emerging from the operating room.

Her student Ya Ye excitedly giving her a report nearby.

"Teacher, it's unbelievable that since the new drug was successfully rolled out, the mortality rate among Infected on Rhodes Island has dropped to zero."

Even the condition of those few Infected had reached the 30% threshold for severe illness was brought under control.

The person who developed this drug is a genius!

Upon hearing Ya Ye's words, Kal'tsit nodded, the fleeting worry in her eyes going unnoticed by the other party.

When Logos returned and handed her the recipe and instructions for the Originium Suppressant, she was undoubtedly shocked.

The opponent managed to stop the Originium from corroding the outside world and put it into an inert state simply by using Terra's native creations, and not even rare ones.

For a moment, she thought that some scientist from a previous civilization had woken up somewhere without her noticing.

Therefore, she inquired in detail Suika Logos's foreign trade.

After asking, her doubts only grew, because the other person's appearance was clearly not what people from the previous civilization should look like, and those exaggerated slant-like features, as described by Logos, were not something that people from the previous civilization would have.

--A lucky person who acquired some kind of legacy from a pre-civilization?

This is Kal'tsit's next idea.

The main reason she associates it with the pre-existing civilization is the book's deconstruction and speculation about Originium.

In her view, if the other party was not a member of the previous civilization or someone who obtained products of the previous civilization, they would not have been able to write the above things with the current understanding of Terra.

To verify the authenticity of the booklet's contents, after discussions within Rhodes Island and informing the patients, they treated several Infected conditions were so severe that existing Inhibitor could no longer suppress their illness using the derived reagent, and closely monitored them throughout the process.

The result surprised them greatly.

After being injected with this drug, the activity of Originium in the bodies of those Infected with Oripathy was forcibly suppressed.

Some of the Originium microparticles are excreted from the body along with the patient's daily life.

Although a complete cure is not possible, all the critically ill patients gradually progressed from severe Oripathy infection to moderate infection within a week and stabilized.

Then, with consent, they conducted pathological trials on non-critically ill patients, with equally encouraging results.

The Originium microparticles in the bodies of patients who received this reagent became inert.

These patients were then subjected to Originium Arts usage tests of varying intensities under observation, and the results surprised Rhodes Island even more.

These test subjects (mostly Rhodes Island operators) who were injected with the drug did not have their inert Originium particles activated when using Originium Arts that did not exceed their body's tolerance.

Even after using powerful Originium Arts to activate the activity of Originium particles within the body, they will quickly return to an inert state.

What Rhodes Island's Medical Department needs to do now is to observe these Infected have been injected with the new drug for an extended period of time to confirm their condition.
