Chapter 672: Chapter 497 “Firebearer” Philosophy Class: Ignite Others, Warm Yourself._2
The continuous output of the high-intensity flas was more than even he could bear.
And at this crucial mont, there was no direct way to withdraw…
Having endured up to now, if Colin were to withdraw the flas, not only would all his efforts be in vain, but he would likely fall victim to the struggle between the two entities above his head.
Clenching his teeth, Colin struggled to convey his voice to the “Thorn Lady”:
“How much longer is your ‘little bit longer’?!”
“Almost there, very soon, don’t be hasty.” A whisper erged from the black thorns surrounding him.
However, Colin, having learned his lesson, did not fall for it again and continued:
“Give
a specific ti!”
From the mont “Red Moon” was summoned until now, it was either “very soon” or “wait a mont.” He had thought a re fifteen minutes would suffice, but damn, an hour had passed and still, nothing.
At this mont, millions of “Dusk Faction” mbers bowed their heads, each with a crown of “thorns” around their head.
And those who were fitted with this contraption seed to completely ignore the anomaly above their heads.
“This ti it’s really soon, but once they get on the vehicle, it will take so more ti…” The voice of the “Thorn Lady” sounded again, now slightly feeble.
“Just a small fraction of people remain without the thorns. Once that’s done, transferring all their ‘destinies’ for the near future onto my true body, letting
bear it, then we can act…”
“Transfer to your body?” Colin asked subconsciously with a hint of confusion.
“Yes, it’s one of my authorities. Otherwise, at their level, how could they possibly have the power to break away from ‘The Night’? This matter is much more complicated than you think; they can’t just run away to solve it. Without a thorough solution, they might just vanish unexpectedly, unable to bear a destiny tied to ‘The Night’… but no worries…”
The “Thorn Lady” said, “The destiny of destruction, I will bear for them.”
Upon hearing these words, Colin was montarily stunned, suddenly seeing a glimr of humanity shine through those dark black thorns.
His exhaustion didn’t seem so overwhelming anymore.
In truth, he felt he could persist a bit longer.
But soon, the next words she spoke dissipated that fleeting light of humanity…
“Anyway, the true body has resilience, heh heh.”
That was sothing that need not have been said…
Colin took a deep breath of flas, suddenly recalling sothing: “Then we’re also involved with ‘The Night’…”
“The lady who dispatched you has already dealt with everything. You don’t have to worry. Even being directly killed by ‘The Night’ is not a fear, nor tracking through the company’s network…”
Oh, death is not to be feared? Well, that’s a relief… Colin breathed a sigh of relief.
The “Thorn Lady” seed to realize what he was thinking, “Of course, I ant the batch that’s coming afterwards. The other three including you had better stay out of trouble…”
“Alright.” Colin nodded with a hint of exhaustion.
Feeling the fla on his body starting to wane, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have anything that can burn?”
No sooner had he spoken, the “Thorn Lady’s” reaction beca quite intense.
“Oh my goodness, wasn’t the first lesson of a ‘Fla Bearer’ Reservist to learn self-sacrifice? How have you jumped ahead of becoming a ‘Fla Bearer’ and learned the lesson of ‘igniting others to warm yourself’? Don’t even think about burning my body!”
Huh? There are such learning strategies? Colin was startled.
Burning others if possible, and only considering oneself as a last resort—that’s how Colin had always operated.
However, he had not foreseen that such practices had been formalized into so kind of ideological course within the past “Fla Bearer” community?
Also, why was the “Thorn Lady’s” reaction so intense?
Before he could speak, the “Thorn Lady” continued, “Forget it, forget it, I’m really fed up with you paranoiacs, seeing everyone as a piece of kindling…
“Alright, it’s a good thing I ca prepared…”
As she spoke, a large number of withered “Black Thorns” with a tallic sheen appeared out of thin air.
Colin did not hesitate; the flas engulfed and ignited them.
The roaring fire spread outwards…
These flas were not as easy to control as the “Fla Bearer’s” own, but at this mont, what Colin needed was not the precision of the flas, but to light up the surroundings as much as possible.
Suddenly, with the addition of this new fire, the flas that were beginning to falter regained their stability, separating the “crimson” and “darkness” in the sky from the world below human understanding.
‘Not bad, it seems…’
Colin thought, “The Thorn Lady” really was good material. He’d ask if he could have so to take back and keep once the mission was over.
He didn’t ntion it right now, with this batch of “charcoal.”
The pressure had eased quite a bit…
He even had ti to check the ssages in the ntal communication channel for the employee team, discovering that they seed to be in a tough spot too.
“The ‘Thorn Binding Device’ is yours, isn’t it? Can’t you retract it on your own?” Colin asked.
No sooner had he asked, the “Thorn Lady” instantly replied, “I can’t retract it. That thing is connected to so special defenses of this world. To shut it down, we have to do it together, but if we do that…”
She stopped talking abruptly.
What’s the matter? Colin tried inquiring: “But if we do that?”
There was no response for several seconds…
