"It should succeed?!" Sun Fei was stunned, understanding the implication in the lewd old man's words, and then stammered, "Should? You mean you're not actually that confident?"
"This... method was discovered by the nun and me on [ The Demon King's Wisdom ]... We haven't used it before... And regarding those magic runes on this altar, this is also the first time... Uh, don't worry, although it's the first time using it, I can guarantee that we've already experimented with inscribing these runes many times in the stone chamber and [ Rogue Encampment ]. They're absolutely correct and won't cause any problems." Sensing the King's expression gradually shifting from shock to anxiety, Uncle Cain quickly explained.
"Sun, don't worry, I don't think there will be any problems." Akara looked at the top of the small altar with a slightly doubtful expression, stammering as she assured Sun Fei. At the same time, she glared at Grandpa Cain and complained, "I told you long ago, the 134th magic circuit in the quarter-star zone should be a three-fold line, drawn with Macpherson Hook Stroke. You insisted on using a semi-circular line and drawing it with Tal Rasha Reverse Stroke. Now there's a problem?"
"Nonsense! Macpherson Hook Stroke structure is unstable, and the three-fold line is more likely to cause magic to dissipate. Only Tal Rasha Reverse Stroke method combined with a semi-circular line is the most stable..." Old Man Cain shouted, looking like he was provoked. When it comes to 'academic issues', these two partners who were originally working closely together will immediately start arguing.
"You..." Sun Fei was both shocked and furious.
His King then belatedly realized that these two old men, who were practically magic fanatics, were actually conducting a magical experiment during this rescue operation.
Then weren't their previous solemn promises just child's play?
Sun Fei's anxiety surged uncontrollably. Forgetting to scold the two unreliable old men, he flashed to the top of the ten-meter-high altar. Due to extreme tension, Sun Fei trembled violently, his fingers shaking. He dared not open his eyes to look at the two girls lying on the altar, fearing that if the experiment failed, he would witness the tragic scene of the two girls having stopped breathing and perished.
"Mmm... Ah... This is..."
A faint, yet incredibly familiar and unforgettable sound suddenly appeared in Sun Fei's ears. Like heavenly music, though faint, it was like a thunderclap from the heavens. In that instant, Sun Fei felt his restless soul suddenly calm down.
It's Angela.
She... really woke up?
The radiant young girl lying on the stone altar before her suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, her gaze slightly confused and bewildered, wondering why she had appeared in this strange place. But soon, all the wariness in her eyes vanished, and a flawless smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face. Instantly, the entire world paled in comparison, for she saw the figure standing before her—her beloved, the very essence of her world.
" Alexander... I... how did I get here? Where is this? The enemy... have the enemy retreated?" Angela quickly recalled the extremely dangerous scene before she lost consciousness, and her heart, which had just calmed down, was in suspense again. She struggled to sit up.
"Don't move." Sun Fei quickly stepped forward to support the girl's soft, supple body, and replied anxiously, "Don't worry, it's all over. I've driven back all the enemies. I'll capture them and let you deal with them, okay? How are you feeling now? Is anything wrong? Tell me quickly..."
When asked the following question, Sun Fei was extremely nervous.
The entire small altar stopped operating in less than thirty seconds. The process was too brief, and His Majesty the King was worried that this unreliable process might leave some aftereffects on Angela.
"Hmm... I do feel a little uncomfortable..." Angela thought for a moment, then seemed to sense some discomfort and furrowed her dark eyebrows.
This expression was like an invisible giant hand suddenly grabbing Sun Fei's heart.
The next second, a mischievous smile appeared on the girl's face, and she giggled, "Hehe, look how scared you were! I was just a little hungry."
"You..." Sun Fei suddenly realized that he had been teased by the usually serene Angela. However, seeing that she had fully recovered, Sun Fei felt as if the heavy weight that had been pressing down on him for so long had suddenly disappeared. He felt lighter than ever before, and his mood brightened. Everything in his eyes became bright and lovely. He feigned anger and said, "Don't scare me like that again. You almost scared me to death."
"Mmm." Angela blinked her beautiful long eyelashes, a sweet smile appearing in her eyes. Her red lips parted slightly, and she said softly and obediently, "I just saw how nervous you were just now, and I suddenly felt so happy. Alexander, do you know how scared I was? Seeing you turn into a bloody mess below the city walls, and I couldn't help you. I'm so useless... Let's not stay here, let's go back to Chambord City, okay?"
A smile appeared on Sun Fei's face, and for a moment he felt an overwhelming tenderness in his heart, a tenderness that could melt even the hardest heart. He gently kissed Angela's smooth, fair forehead and nodded, "Yes, once you've fully recovered, we'll go back to Chambord City."
Just then, another faint voice came from nearby.
Sun Fei immediately realized that a beautiful girl was unconscious beside him. Turning his head, he saw that the Valkyrie, clad in full armor, seemed to have finally regained consciousness. Her brows were slightly furrowed, her hands gripping the white sheets beneath her tightly, and her face was filled with anxiety. Suddenly, she murmured as if in a dream, " Alexander, run! We're no match for him... Quick, Alexander, I'll hold him off, you run..."
Sun Fei felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he felt a deep, tender spot in his heart suddenly become wet with tears.
A tear slowly slid down His King's cheek.
The moment she regained consciousness, the first thing this silent and aloof woman thought of was Sun Fei's safety. Like Angela, Elena's consciousness and memory were clearly still stuck at the moment before she fell unconscious, stuck in the moment when Twin Flag City was in imminent danger, and she and Sun Fei were standing side by side at the foot of the city, fighting against the giant hand that the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] sent from a thousand meters away.
But what she was still concerned about was Sun Fei's safety.
"Sister Elena... could it be that she also..." Angela's expression was a little strange, as if she had remembered something.
Just then, before Sun Fei could say anything, a sky-blue flame suddenly flashed across the altar, enveloping Elena, who was awakening, in a flash. Then, Elena, who was lying on the stone altar and not yet fully awake, simply vanished into thin air...
"What's going on?" Sun Fei and Angela were both shocked.
"Hahaha, alright, all done, haha, now you can verify that my suggestion was correct? Ahaha, Tal Rasha Reverse Stroke and the arc route are indeed the most stable circuit structures, Sister, the facts are right in front of you, are you still going to deny it? Ahaha, look, both girls have fully recovered, you lost, I won, hahaha..." The lewd white-bearded old man Cain's smug laughter came from the side.
Cain and the nun hurried to the altar.
Sister Akara was clearly unwilling to accept the smug look on Cain's face, but she didn't know how to refute him.
Sun Fei interrupted their argument loudly, asking Earth Inquiry, "All better? Both of them are better? But why is Elena... what was that blue flame just now?"
"Haha, Leader, don't be in a hurry. Think about it carefully. Doesn't that flame look familiar?" Cain laughed and asked in return.
Sun Fei thought carefully for a moment, then nodded. "Hmm, very familiar... it seems to be the aura of Teleport, but..."
The nun interrupted Sun Fei, explaining before Uncle Cain could finish, "Then there's no mistake. Elena was forcibly Summon back to the [ Rogue Encampment ] by the laws of the Diablo World. As you know, everyone you Summon to the World of Light using your [ Summon ] divine skill can only exist in that world for a limited time each day. Once that time is up, they must return to your so-called Diablo World. Since Elena fell into a coma, her soul was damaged and no longer complete, so the laws of the Diablo World couldn't locate her specific spatial coordinates and soul imprint. That's why she hasn't been able to return to the Diablo World during this time. Now that Elena's soul has been fully restored, the laws of the Diablo World can 'find' her again, and naturally, they will Summon her back immediately. You must know that Elena's time in the World of Light has long exceeded its proper limits."
"That's right, that's exactly it, Sun. Don't worry, this further proves that Elena has been completely cured and there won't be any accidents." Uncle Cain, feeling a bit resentful that the nun had beaten him to it with her explanation, squeezed in to add a sentence.
So that's how it is!
Sun Fei felt somewhat relieved, as if he had suddenly realized something.
Sun Fei had also wondered about the unusual fact that Elena was unable to return to the Diablo World after the time limit for the day was reached after she fell into a coma. However, His Majesty the King was busy searching for the God and Demon Altar to Cleansing the Worldstone and did not investigate it in detail. Now, hearing the explanation from the two 'magic fanatics', it made perfect sense.
"You must keep this [ Worldstone ] safe. It's the most precious treasure in the world. Even legendary gods would fight tooth and nail for it." Grandpa Cain pulled the [ Worldstone ] out of the dent in the stone altar, carefully examined it, and handed it to Sun Fei, earnestly instructing him, "Although this little thing has been mostly consumed, the energy it contains is enough to support the existence of a small world, and can even trigger the eternal revival of a divine artifact."
