Chapter 223: Alyssa Regains Consciousness, the Guardian Spirit Clone Arrives
The Forest City is now shrouded in a thick, gray haze, with visibility barely reaching 10 meters.
Inhaling the dust from the sky, many players started to lose health, with numbers like "-3" and "-5" appearing above their heads. Players quickly covered their mouths and noses with wet cloth strips, which slightly alleviated the health loss.
However, everyone was a bit like headless chickens, standing around unsure of what to do.
So, Su Yu decided to organize the nearby players, and together they set out to rescue the civilians buried under the ruins of Forest City.
Most of the civilians in Forest City had perished in the initial shockwave, but a few had survived due to their sturdier homes or by hiding in basements.
When the players rescued these survivors, they were overwhelmed with gratitude.
To show their appreciation, the survivors offered the players the most lucrative quests they could.
The players, in turn, reaped many benefits during the rescue operations.
...
Ten minutes later, the Crimson Eye Black Dragon suddenly spoke in the guild chat room, "Everyone, pay attention! There's a major development!"
Su Yu: "What's happening?"
Snow Leopard: "What's going on?"
Crimson Eye Black Dragon: "A few of our guild members are near the princess's palace. The palace was also reduced to ruins in the shockwave, but a few of the princess's guards survived."
Xia Yicangliang: "And then what?"
Crimson Eye Black Dragon: "These guards are asking players about what happened. Their memories are still stuck in the time when they were in the Golden Finch City, before they were controlled by Sevan!"
Laser Pen: "!!! So, does that mean Sevan's control over the princess and her guards has been lifted? Is Sevan dead?!"
Snow Leopard: "Not necessarily. The control being lifted doesn't mean Sevan is dead; he might be severely injured and unable to maintain control over so many people. Kexing, what do you think we should do?"
Su Yu: "I'm on my way to the scene!"
Su Yu first cast a 20 times thicker [Lightning Shield], then equipped his double-speed gear, and rushed to the princess's palace like a gust of wind.
The lifting of Sevan's mental control over Alyssa was a significant event.
Moreover, Alyssa was still buried under the rubble and needed to be rescued immediately!
...
Half an hour later, at the ruins of the princess's palace.
Su Yu, leading over a hundred players, worked tirelessly to dig through the heavy stone walls, push aside the thick beams, and clear the debris. Finally, they found Princess Alyssa buried beneath the ruins.
Alyssa, a fourth-stage mage, was not seriously injured but was still unconscious.
Su Yu personally approached and lifted her from the rubble.
Seemingly sensing the activity around her, Alyssa slowly regained consciousness, her beautiful eyes gradually opening.
"Alyssa, you're awake! How are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere?" Su Yu asked urgently.
"Kexing?" Alyssa looked at the familiar face, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Hearing Alyssa call his name, Su Yu couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Sevan's control over her had truly been lifted.
"Yes, it's me," Su Yu placed Alyssa on the ground and helped her dust off her clothes.
"Kexing, I never thought I would see you again," Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears, and she threw herself into Su Yu's arms, tightly hugging his neck.
During the time she was controlled by Sevan, it felt like she was trapped in a long, surreal nightmare, one from which she could never wake up.
Now, she had finally awakened and found herself in the arms of the person she had yearned for day and night. Even someone as strong as she couldn't hold back her tears, releasing all the pent-up frustration and pain.
Ding, [Princess Alyssa]’s affection towards you increased by 7, reaching the ‘Enthusiastic’ level.
Ding, you have gained 20 points of World Renown.
With the addition of the 20 points of World Renown, Su Yu now has a total of 33 points. In the entire Golden Rose Empire, this makes him a well-known figure, with a status similar to that of Tina, the leader of the Unicorn Knights.
But Su Yu didn’t care about any of that.
He gently cleared the dust from Alyssa’s brown hair and said earnestly, “Alyssa, I promise I will help you take down Sivann. I swear it!”
“Mm, I believe you.”
Alyssa, emboldened by some unknown courage, suddenly tiptoed and lightly kissed Su Yu on the neck before burying her face in his chest again.
Su Yu was momentarily stunned.
What’s gotten into Alyssa? She’s only 14! He suddenly felt the River Crab deity watching him from behind.
...
The ruins of the palace weren’t just occupied by Su Yu and Alyssa; over a hundred other players were also present, having participated in the excavation.
Initially, seeing the princess throw herself into Su Yu’s arms had already made them uneasy. Now, seeing her kiss him on the neck, many players felt a strange numbness.
It was as if they had been force-fed a ton of dog food.
They all turned away, pretending they hadn’t seen anything.
Some began to whisper among themselves:
“Wow, the princess has made her move. Dave’s stock and Tina’s stock are plummeting.”
“Dave’s stock has already hit rock bottom, hasn’t it? Didn’t you see Chief K’s guide from yesterday?”
“You’re right. Dave is like a ‘strategic nuclear missile’—it’s normal for Chief K to be good to him. It’s not like they’re a couple.”
“But what about Tina? Does anyone have a recording? We need to post a video to show the Tina fans and really rub it in.”
Alyssa had no idea what these otherworldly adventurers were talking about. “Tina’s stock”? What was that supposed to mean?
She lifted her head from Su Yu’s chest. “Crisis, what happened while I was under Sivann’s control?”
She also took a look around, noting the unfamiliar environment. This wasn’t Golden Rose City.
“A lot has happened,” Su Yu said, organizing his thoughts. He recounted the events of Alyssa being controlled and stripped of her royal power, Sivann’s breakthrough in power, and the battle involving 700 high-level warriors.
“What happened after that? Did Sivann die?” Alyssa asked, her voice tense.
“I’m not sure,” Su Yu shook his head. “I think he might be dead, given that his control over you has been broken.”
At that moment, a hoarse voice echoed from the distant horizon. “No, you’re wrong. Sivann is still alive.”
A beam of white light rapidly approached and coalesced into a human form in front of Su Yu and Alyssa.
It was none other than the avatar of the Guardian God, Kevin Golden Rose!
“Ancestor!” Alyssa’s face turned red, and she quickly pulled away from Su Yu.
Kevin Golden Rose, however, fixed his gaze on Su Yu, his expression tinged with amusement.
“Alyssa has taken a liking to this ‘Crisis’ boy. Could he become Alyssa’s future husband? But he’s an otherworldly adventurer!
Otherworldly adventurers have the ability to resurrect shortly after death. Could it be that Crisis and Alyssa’s children will also possess this incredible ability?
Hmm, no matter what, I need to conduct an experiment first.”
Kevin Golden Rose’s thoughts were drifting off.
