Chapter 977: Chapter 31: Yuan the Witch’s Future Sight (2)

She truly needed this assistance.

The blond maiden in the red dress sighed and withdrew her rapier. She didn’t know what was going on in Miss Brave’s mind at this moment, but she had a vague feeling that she might have made a wrong decision.

——This ally is indeed not simple, but the problem is also serious. The magic seems rather unstable...

——Hmm, thinking about it, might this be why the person has quite a considerable legacy yet remains unknown? After all, no matter how powerful the legacy is, if the inheritor cannot wield it well...

Thoughts flashed in her mind; she felt she had found a reasonable explanation.

"Help her over there..."

Erica quickly checked the situation of the chestnut-haired girl and said, "She seems to have overexerted her power, causing the fainting. It’s not a big issue, she isn’t much injured. A little rest and some food should do..."

......

...

In deep sleep.

Muddled, with unclear consciousness.

In her sleep, Banriya Yuri experienced an uneasy state of mind, furrowed brows twitching with unease, occasionally showing expressions of terror or struggle... Uncertain how much time passed until she suddenly let out a long breath and woke up from her nightmare.

"Hu... hu..."

Gasping heavily, the chestnut-haired girl was still frightened, blankly looking around.

An unfamiliar environment.

Seeming like a living room, with nice living conditions and soft lighting spilling down.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window by the balcony, the vast and deep night sky and the dazzling cityscape unfolded. Such unfamiliarity left the newly awakened her momentarily unresponsive; her eyes grew more puzzled as she tried hard to recall the events before her fainting.

"Awake, huh..."

At this moment, a voice sounded from the side.

Banriya Yuri’s eyes quickly turned wary as she looked in that direction, her expression freezing upon seeing something unbelievable; her instinctual wariness transformed into unspeakable shock: "You... you... how, how..."

The girl’s mind went chaotic, unable to put her shock into words.

"Looking at you... do you know me?"

Gu Mo blinked, seemingly a bit puzzled as he asked.

Merely, he added a special effect to his voice, allowing the unknown magic to accompany the sound and swiftly transform into waves, disturbing the girl’s thoughts. But it didn’t disrupt her thinking; instead, it helped her stay calm, enabling rapid thought.

At this critical moment, the chestnut-haired girl felt her mind spinning unusually fast. Biting her lip, she showed a wary look and vigorously shook her head: "Don’t know... why am I here? What happened?!"

Cautiously biting her lip, she carefully surveyed her surroundings, displaying just the right amount of unease, a very normal reaction.

Anyone waking up to find themselves in a stranger’s home and facing an unfamiliar environment should react this way.

"Wait! Why did you rush over earlier, saying you found him?"

Sitting elegantly on the sofa with iced red tea, sipping it with the taste of noble coffee, the blonde girl couldn’t hold back after hearing this answer. She put down her drink and asked seriously.

How could it be someone she didn’t know?

She was waiting for her to wake up for a proper confrontation, yet she claims not to know? This doesn’t make any sense, right?

"This..."

Banriya Yuri opened her mouth, frowning as she struggled to recall something, then reacted as if realizing she had done something foolish earlier, and couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile: "A miscalculation, I should have thought more clearly."

Her apparent annoyance showed with a bitten lip as she met Erica’s suspicious, scrutinizing gaze, explaining helplessly: "Okay, actually, I... I’m actually a spiritual ability user guarding the Kantou Region..."

"It seems something unknown happened here today. I received a task requiring investigation for trace clues... but found nothing until I was about to give up when my spiritual vision got triggered..."

Pausing here, the chestnut-haired girl deeply inhaled before continuing: "I saw your figures in the midst of darkness..."

In her words, she triggered a spiritual vision and vaguely saw Gu Mo’s presence.

In that dark night domain, filled with divine power scent...

According to the Official History Compilation Committee’s preliminary speculation, it was suspected to involve deity-related matters...

So, at the scene sensing these elements and linking them together, Banriya Yuri instinctively determined she had grasped critical clues. However, her triggered spiritual vision nearly drained all her energy. She feared losing this key clue if she didn’t act quickly...

Thus, she pushed hard, relying on strong inspiration to pursue all the way, sustaining until she couldn’t endure when seeing Gu Mo...

Mumbling one sentence, she lost consciousness and fell, fainting...

——Banriya Yuri, with some regret and helplessness, recounted her reckless actions; this was the whole story.

She didn’t know why she suddenly became so calm, thinking many things instantly, preparing the words for response. She cleverly mingled what’s seen and heard with nine parts of truths and one part of falsehood, concealing the truly critical secret.

"I see. Since spiritual vision directly peered into the divine domain, serious overexertion is understandable. Not fainting instantly in that situation was the limit..."

Erica seemed a bit disappointed, yet also sighed with relief.

Considering this, at least this guy didn’t lie—he indeed didn’t recognize other magicians, meaning he was not previously related to the magic realm, thus drastically reducing suspicion of withholding information.

"Yes, yes... I didn’t know what I was thinking then..."

Banriya Yuri said regretfully, lightly tapping her forehead. Her annoyance wasn’t feigned; it was genuine, reflecting her real state at the time.

Muddled, thinking only to find him, unknowingly making things more complicated...

With such a bitter smile, she deeply inhaled again, then stealthily glanced at the youth over there, who seemed aware and turned to gaze at her——

"....!!"

Like a startled rabbit, Banriya Yuri swiftly lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

Erica pouted, yet had no more doubts.

She didn’t know the girl before her was frightened, scared by images from earlier spiritual vision—those eyes were the ones seen in the vision, coldly overlooking the world as small as dust, countless gods, demons, angels... quietly burning within those enormous eyes.

The sky and earth dyed deep red...

Like displaying the world, massive trees engulfed and toppled by flames...

As stars fell from the sky, amidst the blazing red flames, the whole world collapsed...

......
