Chapter 340: This Relationship Between Us, Really? (Please Subscribe!)

Up until the tremor of that massive explosion just moments ago, the mysterious organization and Asfi’s group were in a rather unconventional standoff.

During this time, the mysterious organization suffered countless casualties, each member suiciding upon approach, all acting like “fanatics.”

They could abandon everything for an imaginary mission, making them the worst kind of suicide troops.

But now, the performance of these worst-of-the-worst suicide troops was as confused as Asfi’s group.

Because they had no idea what just happened.

Feeling the vibrations underfoot powerful enough to shake the Great Void itself, the leader of the robed figures immediately became shocked.

“This is…what situation? Who threw the ‘Fire Stone’?”

Could there be such power!?

Hearing the leader’s question, the robed figures prepared to rush forward and initiate their explosive attacks also froze.

Ah, not us.

We haven’t even charged yet—how could it explode?!

And right at the moment everyone on both sides in the Great Void was puzzled,

“——!”

A corner by the wall of the Great Void suddenly exploded!

More accurately, it would be better described as having been blasted through.

Accompanied by the thunderous sound of shattering and faint traces of residual energy, that spot instantly captured everyone’s attention.

The figure flying out amidst a cloud of smoke with astonishing speed, his face mask shattered, was none other than Orivars.

Like a cannonball soaring through the air, gouging the green walls behind him but still unable to stop his retreat.

His body crashed through the monster ranks, finally stopping after using some unfortunate man-eating flowers as a buffer near a giant flower-infested pillar.

The only sound echoing in the Great Void was the deafening boom from the explosion. The battle sounds that once ravaged this place abruptly ceased.

“That one who flew past…wasn’t that the mysterious person who attacked Izay earlier…?”

Lulune swallowed hard, pointing uncertainly at the white-haired man lying there looking pitiful.

He was completely battered. Protecting himself with his arms, severe burns and bleeding marks covered both his arms and various parts of his body.

Additionally, countless small wounds were scattered all over him. Lying among the man-eating flowers, he appeared to have lost all fighting ability.

Even though his mask was gone, it was still easy to identify Orivars from his tattered white ceremonial robe and his white hair.

“Guardian!!”

The leader of the robed figures recognized the identity of the one who flew past first, then disregarding the battle against the invaders, stumbled over anxiously towards him.

“No need to guess; he’s the one who attacked Izay.” Seeing this, Asfi moved her lips slightly before firmly giving her answer.

“This illegal construction really can’t take much bombing—already broke through.”

Following closely behind Orivars from the shattered wall came a blond adventurer wielding a spear.

Izay stepped over the collapsed green wall into the Great Void space, glancing back briefly while speaking.

The uneven ground scarred by light bombs.

Just now, with a single spread of his light wings, he crossed three sections of the green maze caverns, smashing six walls altogether!

This was the result of him deliberately controlling the range densely; after all, concentrated damage was more effective.

“Izay!?”

Seeing the figure enter the Great Void, Lulune and others showed a hint of joy.

Not only were they happy that their companion was safe.

The return of such a powerful reinforcement as Izay excited everyone.

After all, one of the seemingly strongest enemies had just been defeated by Izay, which could be crucial for victory.

Didn’t you see how flustered the leader of the robed figures was?

“Are everyone okay?” Izay lightly jumped a few steps closer to Asfi’s group, waving to them.

“Thanks to your blessing, we’re all fine. Thank you…” Hearing this, Asfi smiled sheepishly and bowed seriously in gratitude.

They were still protected by Izay’s Jade Shield.

Whether it was due to the shield being too sturdy or the magic effect lasting too long, this thing seemed to show no signs of disappearing, so how could anything go wrong?

Izay chuckled awkwardly as he straightened her up: “Actually, I was just…giving a routine greeting.”

He already knew everyone was fine, so when he asked, it was just a casual mention. He didn’t expect Asfi to bow.

No, between us, why bother with formalities!?

Considering only comradeship (from the Great Sea incident) and regular academic exchanges and interactions.

“Hmm…that enemy…did you deal with him, Izay?”

Upon hearing this, Asfi felt inexplicably embarrassed, her cheeks turning slightly red as she clumsily changed the subject.

“Probably severely injured. That last attack of mine should have taken away his fighting ability.” Izay thought for a moment and made a judgment.

It was just that Orivars had a small volume and high density; if it were a similarly ranked large monster, enduring more bombardments from the light feathers, it might have died directly in the dungeon.

“Boom—!”

“Boom Boom Boom Boom—!”

“!? ”

Suddenly, the sound of monsters being eliminated rang out in the Great Void.

Everyone shifted their attention from Izay to look toward the main column, and the next moment, no one could speak.

Sharp weapons pierced deep into the colorful flower corollas, the monsters opening their mouths without resistance to accept slaughter.

The robed figures seemed somewhat nervous doing this.

But they still killed the man-eating flowers around them one after another, collecting those colorful magic stones.

As Izay watched curiously, and Asfi’s group suspected whether the enemies were turning on each other,

the robed figures handed over the collected magic stones to the white-haired man Orivars, almost immobile after being beaten by Izay, who greedily swallowed each magic stone.

“——————”

Asfi widened her eyes in shock, retreating a step with a pale face.

Could humans eat magic stones!?

And that disgusting expression of enjoyment, along with a face that seemed familiar from somewhere…

All of this was impacting Asfi’s mind. The members of Hermes’ faction were also in a panic.

Was this enemy human? Or was it a monster of the humanoid race?

After a while, as the number of swallowed magic stones increased, Orivars’ injuries began to rapidly heal.

Until he started complaining about the slow pace of the robed figures, beginning to collect magic stones himself.

In no time, having regained mobility, he tossed the last magic stone into his mouth.

“Although it doesn’t increase my strength, it’s sufficient as a means of recovery…”

Orivars shook his head of white hair, laughing sinisterly, his mouth nearly splitting to his ears.

“…What a pity, adventurer. This body loved by ‘her’ does not fear mere fatal wounds!”

Under the charge of the magic stones, his wounds all over his body slowly began to heal.

Without initiating any healing magic, he possessed an unnatural self-healing ability.

The wounds gradually disappeared, leaving only faint wisps of steam-like smoke to indicate their previous existence.

“I remember now……”
