Ark of the Immortal

Well, I think I should tell you why.

reason?

The undead man glanced at Skadi with some confusion.

Don't you have a good relationship with Melanza?

Yes, but it's not to the point where we have to live together.

Skadi nodded, then shook his head.

I'm usually used to sleeping alone, but after I woke up from this coma, I have a lot more things in my mind.

You know that I accepted the captain's gift, the blood that was warmed in his body, right?

The undead man paused for a moment, then turned to look at the fire girl next to him.

The fire girl made eye contact with the undead man and nodded slightly, indicating that he indeed had this matter.

The undead man really didn't pay attention at the time. After all, he was still confronting the phantom of Traces when it happened.

Well, keep talking.

The undead came to his senses and allowed Skadi to continue.

Those are part of the remains of the old gods and have strange powers. However, when he and I exchanged blood, the will of the abyss contained in them was plundered by Isamara, leaving only the almost pure blood of the Heir. .”

It allowed me to...evolve in my level of life.

Especially after Isamara was penetrated and suppressed by you, I seem to have become the most powerful one among the remaining heirs.

As he said that, Skadi's eyes revealed some confusion.

She didn't understand what was going on. The birth of the Haiji race was very strange.

It is a race born under the most stressful environment in life and can adapt to any environment. However, while accepting the gift from the Abyss, he was affected by the power of the First Fire that was plundered by the Abyss, and he longed for the power of the First Fire.

Like a mouth that can never be satisfied, there are countless invisible channels linking their tribe together.

Some time ago, when I was in a coma and receiving the gift of Haihe's blood, I saw something.

The power of the Lord of the Old Gods is a dream, but this dream is not only a combination of known information, but also a partial postponement of the future.

Just like the dreams they experienced.

Skadi's lips moved twice.

I think that's the future.

At this point, the undead man who had been breaking firewood stopped his movements.

Skadi felt a line of sight sweeping over his body, and all hidden traces were invisible.

When Skadi raised her head, she saw the sights of both the undead man and the fire-attracting woman resting on her.

continue.

The undead man stopped, and his thoughts focused on Skadi.

I saw Melantha... It should be Melantha. I can't see her face clearly, but she really looks like her.

Skadi struggled to recall the glimpse from her dream. But no matter what, I can't remember the specific appearance.

All in all, a girl who looks very much like Melantha.

She stood under the starry sky, her body burning with dark red flames. Moreover, she held a rusty fixed knife in her right hand.

The part near the handle is very similar to this.

Skadi pointed to the spiral sword in the bonfire.

What she meant was the twisted spiral on the Spiral Sword.

For a moment, both the undead man and the fire girl fell silent.

Is this the future?

They can't say, but if this is power from the old gods, it's possible.

Because among the gifts of the abyss, there are fragments from the power of the First Fire.

It is also a given that fire attracts fire.

And what Skadi saw in the catalysis of the blood of the old gods should be from a corner of the future.

But why is it Melanza?

And the weapon in her hand is very similar to the Spiral Sword?

Heir's evolution is an instinct. After I woke up, I immediately had the desire to get close to Melantha. This desire is inevitable, so I want to live with Melantha.

Skadi said.

The cleansing blood of the old gods gave me a glimpse of the future. I can't keep it in my heart, so I'm here to tell you.

Hope this helps.

To be honest, Skadi was also a little uneasy.

She knew Melanza's temperament. No one would dislike this quiet and sensible girl.

But the back figure in the dream, as well as the corpses of various shapes on the ground, really didn't seem like something Melanza would do.

I see.

After experiencing silence, the undead man nodded slightly and began to tear the wood in his hand into strips, then threw them into the bonfire.

Thanks.

When Skadi saw that the undead man had no intention of speaking, she stood up and left.

Then, Skadi officially moved into Melanza's room.

From that moment on, Skadi and the Undead actually reached a tacit consensus.

The immortal agreed to let himself and Melanza live together, not only so that Melanza could have a partner to practice with. It can also be said that Skadi is responsible for protecting Melanza's safety.

As a deal, Skadi can find the answer to her dream in Melanza and find an opportunity for Heir to evolve.

However, Skadi did not expect that Melanza's danger would come so soon.

Sure enough, that dream was by no means just a dream, the future had already begun to roll forward from the moment it was revealed.

Melantha must not let anything happen to her, not only for the sake of the immortals, but also for herself.

Just as Skadi was on his way to the target location, the changes in the underground had already caused everyone in the laboratory to lose their ability to maintain balance.

A sudden explosion caused everyone to temporarily lose their hearing.

The impact of the shock caught everyone off guard.

Ace, who slowly climbed up from the rubble, became the first elite operator to react.

As an assaulter and heavy operator, Ace's daily training has never failed to give his physique a chance to show its value at this moment.

There was a fire burning before his eyes, like a doomsday scene. Ace, on the other hand, immediately realized what kind of environment they were in.

His shield was covered with glass shards and various small stones flying out.

Under the violent impact, even the shield made of special alloy steel could not escape the damage.

Fortunately, his reaction was also the fastest, and he knocked down the weakest child among them before everyone could react.

Melanza's consciousness was only affected, and her body did not suffer much damage.

Scout! Huang! You drag Melantha back and retreat!

Ace raised his shield. He knew that there was no chance to move around in the current straight path, and their number was too small, and these monsters awakened from the petri dish would swamp them.

Scout and Huang also realized their situation as soon as they woke up. They did not doubt Ace's judgment at all. The two of them set up Melanza and were about to retreat.

Logos used his own spell to open a retreat channel for them, but when he tried to withdraw from the hole, he was beaten back by the mutant monster that came from it.

Huang had no choice but to tighten his grip on the chainsaw in his hand and stared solemnly at the hole he retreated from.

There, infected people whose limbs had mutated into strange claws tried to get through.

We can't evacuate, so we can only force a breakthrough.

Huang didn't hesitate. The blood flowing from her forehead was hot on the surface of her body, and the hot fire around her couldn't make her feel the heat.

Heat steamed out from the torn hole in his right arm.

Her blood is the best fuel. And her body was used to the high temperature of steaming after such a long period of operation.

Scout, leave Melanza to you, and Logos to assist me.

With that said, Huang took the creaking instrument in his hand, and with the harsh sound of the chainsaw turning, he tore apart the monster blocking the entrance of the cave, and rushed into the cave opened by Logos' spell as a vanguard.

Scout was the weakest one in frontal combat. At this time, he also knew his situation, acquiesced to Huang's order, picked up Melanza from the ground, and carried her on his back.

Even after receiving a blow to the front of his chest, Scout resisted the urge to cough and bear the weight of his body.

He pulled out a crossbow in his right hand and called Logos to retreat together.

Logos turned around, threw a word spirit behind him into the pile of monsters gathered in front of Ace, and then shouted.

Ace, let's go!

The word spirit exploded in front of Ace, and the shock wave opened a gap in the pile of monsters that almost surrounded Ace.

A figure bumped out of it. Ace held up his shield and knocked away two monsters that looked like dragons, and rushed towards the gap like Logos.

But even if they succeeded in taking action, they discovered a fact that was difficult to face.

The position that Ace and others are in is already very deep.

The petri dishes I saw along the way, and even the bodies lying scattered on the ground, all stood up at some point.

Their shriveled skin is like the zombies in biochemical novels that have lost their own consciousness.

There were also abyss creations that had partially transformed into ancient dragons and were mixed among these living corpses, blocking their retreat.

Scout carried Melanza on his back, and the four of them tried their best to withstand the impact again and again.

What's even worse is that Scout has already felt the girl he is carrying.

The temperature on her body was rising steadily.

It even burns his back.

Melanza's consciousness seemed to fall into the deep sea.

A distant and long-lasting call came to her ears, which was a little anxious, but also made Melantha feel reassured.

But even though her consciousness knew she was falling, she couldn't stop it.

Anxiety and the terror of death filled the girl's mind, and she knew that she should not be locked up like this.

The sea level in front of me is still rising, and the last bit of light disappears in front of me.

Until a flame ignited in her chest.

The coldness on her body couldn't stop her from feeling the warmth in her chest.

The hot ball burning like the sun was gradually dispelling the coldness from her body bit by bit.

Melanza lowered her head slightly. She saw something lit up her chest, and the control of her body gradually returned to her.

The girl reached out curiously and reached towards her chest. She pulled the pendant out of her clothes.

It was a badge, the pattern on it was slightly blurry, but a burning flame could be vaguely seen.

The flame was very small, and you could vaguely feel the warmth emanating from the pattern.

At this moment, the flame originally engraved on the badge began to dance in front of Melantha's eyes like a living thing.

At some point, Melanza's feet were already standing on the flat ground. She breathed subconsciously and stared at the badge in her hand.

This was a badge given to her by her teacher, and it was also a treasure that gave her the power to turn defeat into victory in several desperate situations.

Thinking of this, Melanza felt relieved.

But in the blink of an eye, a hand snatched the badge from Melanza's palm.

Melanza was stunned for a moment, and then an uncontrollable anger and sadness surged up from all parts of her body.

She subconsciously reached out to her waist and grasped the handle of the fixed knife. At the same time, she raised her head to see clearly what the person who took away her badge looked like.
