Chapter 776: A Complex Emotional History
Chapter 776: A Complex Emotional History
Lindsey: [Arona, before you say anything, let me explain to you the details of using the Friendship Channel.]
In Arona's mind, a friendship request suddenly popped up.
The Blind Girl was startled, but as a religious leader, she maintained her composure and calmly accepted Lindsey's invitation without showing any signs of her surprise.
She stared at the line of text, but Arona still didn't react at all.
Not until Lindsey finished explaining the use of the Friendship Channel.
She then tried to mobilize her thoughts and slowly filled in her own ideas within this new sensation.
Arona: [...]
Lindsey: [If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the channel now.]
Arona: [I'm typing... Normally, when you encounter powerful enemies, you charge forward bravely and fight without hesitation. When you encounter beings with good intentions, regardless of whether they are human or not, you respond with warmth and friendliness.]
Arona: [Lindsey... Lady Hilde, in my impression, you've never been as cautious as you are today, let alone change your identity and appearance.]
Lindsey: [I have some entanglements with Leafaya.]
Lindsey: [If my identity is exposed, it will definitely cause trouble, and I don't want to fight her either.]
[...]
After a period of silence, words appeared in the Friendship Channel again.
Arona: [Does this mean, Lady Hilde, that you've betrayed her love?]
Lindsey: [...]
Lindsey felt a bit embarrassed to correct Arona.
Should she tell her that she pretended to be a child, went to her home, took advantage of her hospitality, and left with a bunch of things without even saying goodbye?
This silence, however, led to Arona's misunderstanding.
The girl immediately encouraged Lindsey in the chat channel:
Arona: [Lady Hilde, it's okay!]
Arona: [No matter how complicated the process, true love will never betray the heart!]
Lindsey: [Things are a bit different from what you think, but... In any case, remember to keep my secret!]
Arona: [I swear on my faith. Also, where did you get this appearance? If she gets into trouble because of this...]
Lindsey: [Then I'd be delighted!]
Lindsey: [Hilde is someone I can trust, but she's also a scoundrel who will make me laugh even after death!]
Arona: [Your emotional history is quite complex...]
Lindsey: [...]
[...]
Lindsey and Arona continued their conversation in the Friendship Channel.
Meanwhile, the team led by Leafaya was still racing through the air at high speed.
A while ago, it would have taken Lindsey and Arona more than a day to reach their destination on foot with the support of the Freedom Seal, but now it was within arm's reach.
Lindsey gazed into the distance.
He saw the central pillar he had once visited and then voluntarily left.
He also saw the will barrier surrounding that airspace, constantly creating ripples at this very moment.
"..."
A solemn atmosphere rose under the night sky.
Apart from the massive pillar and the will barrier, the people who were creating the ripples were also crisscrossing in the air.
They looked incredibly tiny, like moving pixels.
But in reality, each one was a Seventh Stage Awakened!
They were competing with their own skills while continuously trying to break through the will barrier, attempting to enter it!
Seeing this, one of Leafaya's subordinates exclaimed:
"Lady Leafaya, we are willing to fight for you..."
"The upcoming battle is not something you can participate in, and even if you do, it won't make a difference.
"The Organizer's cold voice interrupted the subordinates' pledge of loyalty, "The only thing you need to do now is to stay put, keep an eye on them, and protect yourselves."
Leaf Heya pointed at Lind and Arona.
Then, she moved on her own, and the essence skill that supported the team's flight changed.
A sense of weightlessness then descended upon the group.
Lind, Arona, and several of Leaf Heya's subordinates instantly lost their ability to fly and began to plummet rapidly.
Just as they were about to land on a floating island, a gentle force appeared around them, gently setting everyone down.
"My Lady!"
"I am willing to do anything for you, at your command."
"Even my life, I would offer it willingly!"
The Silver Witch's subordinates expressed their loyalty on the spot.
Lindsey looked at these people, and the words they spoke were not flattery but a genuine yearning for their lord.
Lindsey recalled the past:
"The Organizer... the Ruler..."
"When such a person makes a decision, those led by the Organizer..."
At the same time, Leaf Heya acted on her own, moving even faster.
After a few breaths, she quickly joined the battle.
But the Organizer's true purpose in joining the fight was not to fight.
Like some of the Awakeners already there, she wanted to break through this essence barrier and enter the giant pillar at the world's center.
Through this, Lindsey discovered something interesting.
Leaf Heya's subordinates had a unified appearance, and the specific information was as follows:
【The Organized Anchor - The connecting and conveying point of the Organizer's power.】
Leaf Heya's subordinates were, in fact, the connecting points of her skill capabilities.
The Organizer's power came from the individuals under her jurisdiction. Even a Seventh Stage existence like Leaf Heya would have weakened power when far from the region she ruled.
At this time, these subordinates were needed for connection.
Through the concept of 'Territory' and 'Organized Anchor', she could have the same level of power outside her territory as within it.
"It seems that the Organizer's weakness also lies in the subordinates she carries."
"Not only by destroying their territory and people but also by moving the battlefield elsewhere, her power can be weakened in this way."
As Lindsey analyzed cautiously, Arona happened to ask a question in the friendship channel.
Arona: 【Lady Hilde, what should we do now? Are we just going to wait like this?】
Lindsey: 【Let's observe the situation first. Specific actions can only be made after obtaining concrete intelligence, to make the most correct...】
Lindsey didn't finish her sentence in the friendship channel.
The reality was more complex than anyone could have imagined.
Just as Leaf Heya joined the battlefield, two new Seventh Stage existences appeared from afar and quickly approached.
If they were ordinary Awakeners,
Lindsey would have considered them regular participants in the battle and left it at that.
But the truth was far from it.
One of the two Seventh Stage existences that had just appeared possessed a power that Lindsey had to obtain at all costs.
A Seventh Stage Deviator.
And a Feathered Serpent Demon from the ancient era that had been sealed and successfully revived in the present.
Both appeared simultaneously.
And they were heading towards the battlefield that would decide the world's fate!
