Chapter 821: Anything Anywhere All At Once
“The treasures tumble down upon you like a tsunami, about to overwhelm you! Do not underestimate it. With enough mass, the impact can kill you!”
“AT Force Field!” Raven Shark stared at Gregor’s thighs and yelled.
“At the last second, Raven Shark pilots his mecha and uses AT Force Field! In an instant, the energy force field expands in waves to shield him and his companions! Unfortunately, the tsunami of treasures is not to be underestimated. They collide with the force field and...”
Gregor turned around and jumped onto the sofa, thinning his voice to imitate sound effects.
“Wing—wing—wing—Alert! Energy insufficient! Alert! Energy insufficient!”
“Magic! Defense Magic...” Wang Weiyan cried out in panic.
“No, there isn’t enough time! The other two adventurers can’t react in time!” Gregor cut off Wang Weiyan.
“I can endure it! I can!” Raven Shark widened his arms and stood before Gao Xinxin and Wang Weiyan, his face flushed. He was entirely immersed in his role.
“Can the AT Force Field stop the tsunami of treasures...?” Gregor cast a die onto the tea table. The die rolled under their watch.
Four pairs of eyes stared at it until it stopped a few seconds later, the top face said, “Pass”.
“Success!” Gregor hollered. “The AT Force Field blocked the treasures! Congratulations, our three players! Another crisis averted!”
“Thank God.” Gao Xinxin sighed in relief. “It’s finally over...”
“Wait!”
Gregor shouted once more. The three players tensed up.
“With the mountain of treasures gone, the three adventurers see a chest flickering multicolored light underneath!”
“Lucky find! That must be the ultimate treasure the evil dragon had been guarding! The three adventurers, are you going to open the chest? That should be the reward you deserve...”
“Wait...” Gao Xinxin knew Gregor quite well now, and she was about to stop her companions when Wang Weiyan made a decision without thinking.
“Open! I’m opening the chest!”
“Good!” Gregor sat back down and raised the thick manual. “Magical Girl Little Yan happily goes up to the chest and opens it.”
Flutter.
Gregor’s face darkened. “Oh, no! Little Yan falls for a trap!”
“Ah!” Wang Weiyan screamed.
“Suddenly, a black, evil force rushes out of the chest and shoots toward Magical Girl Little Yan!”
“Protect her!” Gao Xinxin shouted.
“Bam!” Gregor turned to Gao Xinxin. “At the last moment, Dragonslayer Gao Xinxin pushes Magical Girl Little Yan out of the way! The evil force enters her through the chest.”
“Muhahahaha!”
Gregor got increasingly excited. “Dragonslayer Gao Xinxin lets out an evil, mad laughter. Her eyes turn pure black, and hard scales grow to cover her body...”
“Ah, how unfortunate!”
“Gao Xinxin gets corrupted by the evil force. All this time, she’s used dirty tricks and gotten too much blood on her hands in order to protect her companions and kill powerful enemies. She’s lost who she used to be and her just and kind nature. That allows the evil force a way in.”
“What a shame. The dragonslayer becomes the evil dragon!!”
“Cleansing magic!” Wang Weiyan cried out panickedly. “I use cleansing...”
“What a shame! Not even Magical Girl Little Yan’s cleansing magic can remove the evil force taking over Dragonslayer Gao Xinxin. It’s too late...”
“Soon, Dragonslayer Gao Xinxin will turn into the new evil dragon! Then she will destroy all worlds...”
“No! No...” Wang Weiyan held onto Gao Xinxin in fear and bawled. “Don’t become the evil dragon, Sister! It’s my fault...it’s all my fault...”
“Gregor!” Gao Xinxin made a face at him. Look what you’ve done! The kid’s scared to tears!
Gregor remained unfazed and unwavering. Hmph! That’s what you got for succumbing to the urge and opening the chest! Human nature is an abyss, and when you look into an abyss, the abyss is looking at you too! What an educational game I’ve made!
Swoosh. A figure suddenly showed up beside Gregor and took the manual from him. It was Gao Yang, leader of the Nine Scions.
Holding the manual, Gao Yang read the texts that weren’t actually on the page in a serious tone, “Soon, Dragonslayer Gao Xinxin will turn into the evil dragon, but holding onto her rationality, she cries out to her two companions, ‘Don’t hesitate! Kill me!’”
“No, no...wah!” Yanyan started bawling.
Gao Yang shouted, “AT Force Field!”
“Wait, AT Force Field can’t be used in a row...” Gregor was silenced by a glare Gao Yang shot him.
Gao Yang continued, “Raven Shark pilots his mecha and uses the AT Force Field for the last time to restrain Gao Xinxin as she transforms! Magical Girl Little Yan, it’s now your chance!”
Yanyan stopped crying and looked up at Gao Yang with heartbreak and confusion.
Gao Yang said, “Now, you have three choices. First, use Divine Magic to kill your once companion. Second, run away to ensure your safety. Third, use Love Magic to pull your companion out of the evil abyss.”
“I’m going to use Love Magic!” Wang Weiyan didn’t even hesitate.
There’s nothing like that! Don’t just change my setting!
Gregor fumed but swallowed his comments.
Gao Yang held Wang Weiyan seriously. “You must think carefully, Little Yan. Love Magic is powerful, but also fragile. The magic will fail if you’re not strong-willed enough and determined enough. Are you sure you’re going to use it?”
“I am!!” Wang Weiyan’s face tensed as she clenched her little fists.
“Magical Girl Little Yan, facing the companion who’s going to turn into an evil dragon, you use Love Magic.”
Gao Yang then threw the manual to Gregor.
Gregor caught it, his face going through a myriad of expressions. Finally, he let out a long sigh and collected himself, shouting, “Whoosh—”
“Love Magic comes down upon Gao Xinxin from heaven in a ray of pure, sacred holy light!”
“Corruption fades from Gao Xinxin’s soul gradually, and the scales on her body fall off, revealing her fair skin and her uncovered...”
Gao Xinxin glared at Gregor.
“Ahem.” Gregor quickly corrected himself. “Her uncovered long hair as smooth as silk!”
“Soon, she turned back into the just, kind-hearted, brave, and noble dragonslayer!”
“Thank you! Little Yan! You saved me!” Gao Xinxin pulled Wang Weiyan into her arms and kissed her hair. The little girl cried and laughed while wrapping her arms around Gao Xinxin.
Gregor continued, “Although Magical Girl Little Yan didn’t get her treasure, she gains something much more valuable than any treasure, Love Magic. As long as she has love, she will not lose to any enemies, no matter how powerful. And she will be able to overcome all obstacles, no matter how insurmountable.”
“Anything Anywhere All At Once! First campaign! Cleared!”
Thud. Gregor closed the manual, looking visibly annoyed with being forced to tell a disingenuous story.
Gao Yang clapped first. Then the others followed.
Gregor turned around to see that beside Gao Yang stood a mundane-looking girl with medium-length hair and a quiet temperament. She seemed eighteen or nineteen.
“A new member?” Gregor asked.
“She’s Ke Yo,” Gao Yang said concisely.
Ke Yo couldn’t greet the others. Her reddening eyes were fixed on Vermilion Bird in the wheelchair.
Unable to stop herself, she strode up to take Vermilion Bird’s hands. The coldness thrust into her chest like a viper, triggering a dull throbbing pain.
Ke Yo looked down to find the familiar Black Gold ring on Vermilion Bird’s right ring finger. She knew there was a word etched on the inside of it, “lost”.
She couldn’t help but break into tears.
I was once lost, Sister Xia Li, and you found me.
Now that you’re lost, I will find you, too.
