Chapter 225: Sixty-seven, we’re ho! (5K)
“It’s there, Team Leader!” the Devil Knight pointed ahead.
Actually, he didn’t need any special reminder, for even though they were still tens of ters apart, Yuri could still see the gleam that neither dense fog nor the pouring rain could obscure, like an everlasting, brightly shining gem.
Yuri knew, that was the Purification Source Crystal.
He quickened his pace and soon entered the range covered by the faint light of the Purification Source Crystal. He then felt his previously sowhat muddy brain beco clear, as if he had poured a bucket of ice water over his head on an extrely hot sumr day.
This made Yuri realize that, even after ten years, the Purification Source Crystal had not been damaged and was still in effect to this day.
Truly… a remarkable thing.
Upon approaching the Purification Source Crystal for a closer observation of the gem-like light flowing beneath it, looking much like blood, Yuri felt even greater admiration for the technological prowess of Holy Sound.
It stood here sowhat abruptly, but the pollutants from the Abyss dared not approach, thus forcibly creating a small “clean zone” in this most dangerous and heavily polluted area.
No wonder Night Star had been able to reach this place relying on it, while without it, the sa path took the Devil’s Army, ard with even more advanced equipnt, ten years.
At last… he had found it.
Yuri slowly reached out his hand, touching the Purification Source Crystal that had been lost for ten years.
Even with thick gloves on, Yuri could still feel a cool sensation spreading from his fingertips throughout his body.
“Pretty good, isn’t it?” soone asked.
“Yes,” Yuri replied subconsciously, “It’s very good.”
After answering, Yuri suddenly felt that sothing was amiss.
This voice… was not one of the knights on his team.
But he had heard it sowhere before, it was very familiar!
So he abruptly turned his head, and sure enough, he saw that knight clad in Night Star’s uniform, standing quietly among the Devil Knights as though he was one of their party. And the other Devil Knights seed not to notice anything amiss, now looking at Yuri with slight confusion.
“What is it, Team Leader?”
Yuri instantly felt his hair stand on end.
How could this be happening?
This was different from the situations he encountered before; he hadn’t fallen into an illusion like last ti, because he could still clearly hear the “clicking” sound of the ergency device on his neck. Yet his subordinates showed no reaction whatsoever to the ghostly figure that had suddenly appeared.
What in the world was going on?
“Don’t be nervous.” The Night Star knight pointed at the Purification Source Crystal nearby, his voice muffled under the heavy mask, “You are still within the Source Crystal’s coverage and have not been contaminated.”
If it wasn’t for this knight’s reminder, Yuri would have almost forgotten that he was still under the Source Crystal’s coverage.
Given the Purification Source Crystal’s effect, he should not have been contaminated.
So the question was, if he wasn’t contaminated, what was up with the Night Star knight before him?
“Team Leader, what’s wrong?”
The Devil Knights beca anxious when they saw that Yuri hadn’t spoken for a long ti.
“Do you see that Gerard again?!”
“Can you see them under the Purification Source Crystal as well?”
At this mont, the team, slightly relaxed after the arduous search for the Purification Source Crystal, tensed up instantaneously again. They scanned their surroundings but still could not see the Night Star Knight standing among them.
Yuri then realized that they were now in the deepest part of the Polluted Land, and the team was extrely tense due to a series of events they’d encountered over these short two days. Telling them that a Night Star Knight was standing among them, invisible to them, would certainly not bode well.
So after taking a deep look at the Night Star Knight, Yuri made a decision: “No, there’s nothing. I might be seeing things, saw a shadow, but it must be that thing.”
Yuri pointed at a monstrous pollutant corpse that was like a small mountain in the distance.
“I feel like it just moved,” Yuri said, “Send two n to keep an eye on it, don’t let it suddenly co to life.”
Yuri’s words eased his team a bit.
Even though the pollutants in the Abyss were very strong and troubleso to deal with, no matter how strong they were physical entities, and they had hunted them many tis before.
In contrast to these pollutants, what they feared more were those unseen, intangible things.
Because as long as it could be seen and touched, it could be killed, and what can be killed is not worth fearing.
So imdiately, two Devil Knights took the orders and went to watch over the gigantic pollutant.
“An intelligent decision,” the Night Star Knight comnted, having witnessed this scene, and he began praising Yuri.
This surprised Yuri a little.
Because the Night Star Knights he had seen before, whether it was that first decaying body or the illusion of Gerard that ca after, were confused mories without basic logic.
But this one was different; he clearly had sound logic and could even actively engage in a conversation with Yuri.
Yuri imdiately realized that this was a rare opportunity.
So he let his subordinates continue with their check to see how to transport this great crystal that had rooted itself in the Polluted Land for ten years.
He himself quietly stood beside this Night Star Knight and then asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Are you… Gerard?”
