Botenis charged at Fulisina with his spear, but due to the excessive amount of True Sting wing powder on him and his slight intoxication, he was no longer able to discern the situation.
In situations like this, the all-powerful Remembrance recovery technique is needed!
Fulisina first enchanted the milk tea pillow with her staff, then gripped the spear tip that was thrust at her with one hand, and let out a cold snort.
Hmm... this situation seems strangely familiar. It's like something similar happened a few Amber Era ago, where disagreements over ideologies led to a major fight with Blake, causing chaos in that galaxy.
Just as things were getting exciting, some clueless guy popped up, I think his name was something like [ Zulo ], followed by a group of Galaxy Ranger.
At the time, Fulisina and Blake were wondering when [ The Hunt ] and [ Destruction ] had become so close, chasing each other like this.
The moment they saw Zulo, they decided to stop their civil war and unite against a common enemy.
The main problem was that they were both low on health and terrified of being double-killed by a [ Lord Ravager ]. If this got back to the Masked Fools in the Tavern, wouldn't they nail the Church and the [ Eternity ] Aeon to the pillar of shame?
So Fulisina and Blake turned around and joined the ranks of the Galaxy Ranger, thus participating in the campaign against the Lord Ravager [ Zulo ].
Few people in the entire universe know about this. Fulisina and Blake are mainly in a supporting role; the main force is still that group of Galaxy Ranger.
But... after all, he was the Emanator of [ Destruction ], so Blake just threw a few more bars of Star Destroyer soap at Zulo.
Fulisina, on the other hand, fulfilled her true role as a priestess, casting the [ Eternity ] arcane spell on the Galaxy Ranger, making it impossible for Zulo to wear them down.
Zulo was completely dumbfounded. Was he really dealing with a [ The Hunt ] Walker?! He seriously suspected that a few Denizens of Abundance had infiltrated their ranks!
It wasn't until Zulo's mana bar was completely depleted, and he saw a pair of conspicuous elven ears before his death, that he realized he had been tricked by [ Eternity ].
If the Swarm hadn't taken a significant hit before the battle even started, the outcome would have been uncertain.
The successful assassination of a Lord Ravager greatly enhanced the reputation of the Galaxy Ranger.
Returning to the present, seeing the spear tip thrusting towards her, Fulisina did not retaliate, but instead shifted her gaze to the milk tea-shaped cushion in front of the bed.
A beam of holy light suddenly flashed, Ye Yan, who had not appeared for a long time, finally appeared on the Astral Express, landing right between Fulisina and Botenis.
Pfft!
Seeing the spear tip piercing Ye Yan's body, Fulisina instantly lost consciousness.
Oh no! Lord Yite has been assassinated!
Meanwhile, the Parlor Car
"I have completed the engine inspection. Although the warp drive cannot be activated immediately, temporary acceleration should still be possible. If there are no strong objections, we can begin preparations..."
Hearing Welt's suggestion, Argenti interjected first:
"I'm sorry... but I suddenly had an idea that might help you all resolve this crisis. During the train preparation period, I hope to have the opportunity to discuss this with Hoshino alone."
"You! At a time like this, can't you just say what you mean?" March 7th had already taken out all the dolls from the room, ready for a desperate battle.
"This idea... if I were to propose it in public, you would definitely reject it immediately, but as a knight, I must help the train solve this problem."
March 7th misunderstood Argenti; I didn't expect him to have already prepared for this... I'm inexplicably touched!
"It seems you have some plans. Although I'm not familiar with the traditions of the Knight of Beauty, but... March 7th, no rush."
Argenti called Xing aside. "Xing, I apologize for my abruptness. It was very strange of me to suddenly request to speak with you alone."
"In fact, I have a strong feeling; as a Knight of Beauty, this is a battle I must face!"
"I think I can get off the train and confront the giant True Sting head-on—attack its stomach wall with a long spear, causing it to spasm and vomit the train out."
Xing was shocked by Argenti's method. Just him alone? He really dared to do that...
"I find it difficult to describe these phenomena... but when I witness certain things, a feeling of [beauty] arises from the bottom of my heart; it is vague and can only be perceived instinctively."
"Perhaps I've been wandering the galaxy alone for too long, and I can't quite understand where this feeling comes from. But I know that as a knight, my duty is to protect the seed containing [beauty], to stand before it, and to withstand everything..."
"And now, the Astral Express is that seed. It gives me a sense of belonging, a warmth like that of home, which I believe stems from the deep affection you all share."
Looking at the cozy Astral Express, Argenti made up her mind.
"Therefore, I vow to use my own body as a shield to defend this warmth, rather than living in complacency and letting it become a shield to protect me."
"I am willing to protect these seeds of beauty time and time again, so that they may bloom into pure and crystalline flowers, to prove my devotion to Him... This is something that must happen on the journey called ' Argenti '."
Unexpectedly, Argenti had an incredibly pure faith in the [ Beauty ] Idrila; she was simply too naive.
"He is our faith, the pursuit of our destiny. In the battles where I bleed and lose my mind in defense of the faith of beauty, I have seen His presence countless times in my unconsciousness, spreading from my feet and stretching into the unknown future."
"Was that an illusion?" Xing recalled what was said in Luofu: Kafka the fallen Aeon was [ Beauty ] Idrila.
"My reason tells me no, but I hope so..."
"In that old illusion, I ran endlessly, and on the muddy road, the footprints He left behind saddened me more than any weeping. And each time, I was just a hair's breadth away from seeing His figure."
"Fall down, get up, fall down again, get up again—countless trials, teetering on the brink of life and death, all to bring us closer to the journey that [ Beauty ] once traveled."
"This is my oath as Knight of Beauty."
Hearing Argenti's firm resolve, Xing took off the hourglass necklace and placed it in his hand.
"There's no need for that. I'm very grateful. Even if I'm pierced by the insect's horn, it doesn't matter. The closer I get to death, the closer I might be to the path of ' Beauty '..."
Argenti explained his ultimate goal to Xing: to rekindle the battle they fought when they first met.
I apologize for my rambling; I'm really not good at expressing myself... Going back to the beginning—would you support my idea?
Xing shook her head, still objecting. She didn't want to put Argenti in danger because of this; it wouldn't be fair to him.
"Are you worried about me? Thank you... Your understanding is more precious than any treasure. I have dealt with many travelers, encountered far too much flattery and contemptuous provocation, but what is rare is this shared childlike innocence."
"But... Star, I have made my decision. This is the [destiny] I, as a Knight of Beauty, must pursue."
