Chapter 774: 144. Ring number: infinity (7k)Valentina lay alone behind one of the numerous doors in this columnar space; she sat in the pitch-black corridor. Constantly, the chilling trembling and roaring sounds from above kept coming, and all she could do was grip the ring Fisher had placed on her ring finger, desperately trying to pray for Fisherâs safety above.
Beside her, Emhardt, who wore a strand of Illumination Magic necklaces, was also restlessly flying around, muttering to himself,
âWhat do we do, what do we do⌠That base is at least of Mythical Rank, and that brat Fisher, no matter how outrageous, canât possibly take on two people at the same time. The one chasing him isnât any good either; thereâs a strange feeling about him. What do we do, Iâve got no one to turn to now.â
âHowl!!â
âBoom boom boom!â
Outside the door, that base seemed to be ceaselessly chasing someone; the terrifying force was so strong that even shifting the door, which was much heavier than Valentina, caused it to shake wildly, scaring the Book Knight into quickly flying over to brace the door with his body, for fear someone outside would discover them hiding here.
âWait, Emhardt, do me a favor⌠That platform below, I saw that device earlier; it seems like it can open the cover over the Ice below, revealing the roots inside.â
Emhardt turned his head, looking at Valentina skeptically, and said,
âWhat are you planning?â
Valentina leaned against the wall, explaining to Emhardt,
âThere are two enemies outside now, both difficult to deal with. Fisherâs sword can only take care of one of them, right? I want to have a backup plan; if things really go south to the point of no return, I can use the roots to dispose of the Phoenix Blood within me, so the base wonât become complete.â
Emhardt opened his mouth, visibly agitated, and shook his head,
âFisher would never agree to it; although heâs greedy, he cares about you, he wouldnât let you die. Moreover, since the Moon Princess sent you back, there must be a reason for it; itâs definitely not to cause trouble, just wait a bit longer.â
Valentina shook her head after hearing this and pointed to her eyes. The light of Ice, even in the darkness, was clearly visible,
âThe Moon Princess might have her plans, but I canât place all my hopes on her arrangements⌠During the Holy Marriage, I saw the future, I mean, Fisher and you will be fine, I promise.â
Emhardt paused for a moment, looking at the determined expression in the eyes of the frail girl lying on the ground, he murmured softly,
âYou⌠youâre indeed a Phoenix as well. I knowâŚâ
But before Emhardt could finish his sentence, the dark, narrow corridor suddenly echoed with an oddly out-of-place dripping sound, akin to water leaking from somewhere, dripping down,
âDrip drip drop~â
âEmhardt, quick, open the door, letâs go!â
Valentina was initially baffled until a faint smell of blood reached her. Then, with pupils constricting, she cried out loud to Emhardt, but at the same time and moment, she suddenly felt a mighty force grasp her throat and effortlessly lifted her,
âUhâŚâ
âFound you, Little Phoenix.â
The door behind was smashed open by Emhardt, and through the last bit of light coming from his body, Valentina saw the figure of the man wearing a bird beak mask in front of her. Although he was just looking at her, Valentina instinctively felt terrified.
Erwin gripped Valentinaâs neck and walked towards the outside of the door. He glanced at the shaky book flying towards the ground in the distance without paying attention to the escaping Emhardt but just looked up at Fisher, who was being chased by the Mythical Rank base above,
âFisher, youâve got to make a decision fast, whether to use that Death Rune on the cursed one. Your little girlfriendâŚâ
Erwin glanced again at the ring that Valentina was wearing on her struggling hand, and suddenly changed his words,
âOh no, your little wife might not last long. Her body is already in bad shape, and a human body forcibly containing Phoenix Blood far beyond its Rank is a miracle that she has survived this long.â
âHowl!â
âErwin!!â
Directly above, Fisher, being pursued by the terrible base, narrowed his pupils slightly. He seemed to have reached the point of extreme anger and grabbed the short dagger hidden in his embrace, letting go of the Fluid Sword hanging from the bridge above with great speed toward Erwin, seemingly intending to use the Death Rune in his embrace to kill Erwin first.
Erwin, holding Valentina, saw this and sighed slightly. The force in his hand holding Valentinaâs neck increased,
âItâs a pity that even someone as clever as you becomes irrational in such times. If you had really thought it through and weighed the pros and cons, perhaps you wouldnât have made this decisionâŚâ
He raised his left arm, violently swept it, and generated a powerful gust of wind. This sweeping attack from below to above left Fisher, being pulled down by Gravity, seemingly with no room to evade. The gust neutralized Fisherâs offensive, and just as he had anticipated, even with the Death Rune, the gap in Rank meant Fisher couldnât even hit Erwin.
