Chapter 470: Not a Reunion
Chapter 470: Not a Reunion
This is Qi Qi's will.
"Although she is a necromancer, maybe she has a heart suitable for practicing the Holy Light."
Nellie expressed such emotion.
"So, what are your plans? Are you going to tell Furness the truth?" asked Nelly.
"The one there now is not Qi Qi, but an undead creature she summoned that inherited her memory."
"..."
Fudan stopped talking.
I think so.
After all, it is difficult for anyone to make a decision when faced with such a situation all of a sudden.
I thought everything was over.
Although there were some problems in the process, the teammates turned into necromancers, and when they woke up again, they were not in the maze, but in the capital of Ornn, thousands of miles away from their hometown.
But at least it was a happy ending, and I thought everything was resolved.
The result is now like this.
"Fudain."
Caesar reminded.
Fudan looked in the direction he reminded her of.
It seems like they've discovered something is wrong.
Funess was talking to Qi Qi over there.
But the latter ignored her.
Instead, he looked at Fanny with his empty eye sockets without eyeballs.
The faint fire of the soul flickers, as if telling something.
It seems that one can see the soul of a blue-haired girl from it.
"Now that the order is over, what will happen?"
Caesar asked.
"Because she is in the final stage of her life, I think she can't give any complicated instructions. She should only have time to give the order to let this undead creature resurrect her teammates."
"Before, due to the existence of this order, it had the highest priority, so it was able to suppress its bloodthirsty nature."
"Its owner is gone, it's just following its last command."
"Now that the order is over, it has no direction to move forward. What's next, I can't say..."
Nellie said this with some sadness in her tone.
She is a rather emotional person.
Fudan was still hesitating, not knowing what to do.
But Caesar knew it was too late.
"Qi Qi? Qi Qi?" asked Furness on the other side.
The person in front of him had a horrible appearance. There was not a trace of flesh on his face, only simple bones.
She still remembered that Qi Qi said at the beginning that the current appearance of this person belonged to a race called [Corpse] among the undead creatures.
But as time passed, all the flesh on her body had rotted away and fallen off, leaving only a skeleton.
Everyone is fine, except Qi Qi's appearance which cannot be restored.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she is still here.
As long as she is here, nothing will change.
We can still be the same as before.
Seraphina - the captain of their team, a girl like sunshine.
It is her passion that brings everyone together.
"Qi Qi, how did you become like this?"
She said this while looking at her friend in front of her.
Looking a little helpless.
She took a step forward, and the skeleton in front of her took a step back.
Seraphina looked at the skeleton in front of her.
Even though she looked very different.
All the bones and blood are gone.
But she could still see Qi Qi's shadow in this small step back.
She could be sure of that, too.
The undead creature in front of him is his teammate, Qi Qi.
But why did she take a step back and look so scared when she saw me?
Ahhh.
Seraphina remembered.
Qi Qi is a child who loves beauty.
She seemed to have suffered a lot when she was young and had a not very good childhood.
However, with her efforts, she became a very good magician.
Because of her family, she only has to take care of herself.
So every time she got paid, she would spend it on herself.
Dress up and go out for a good meal with everyone in the team.
Even if everyone's pocket money is not enough, there is still the risk of getting fat.
But under her persuasion, everyone will still go together.
She has a body that never gains weight, so she doesn't have those worries.
She herself seemed to be somewhat proud of this kind of thing.
Now that it has become like this, it must be a big blow to her.
Seraphina thought so.
However, no one will dislike her.
She was overthinking it.
Seraphina thought so.
She walked forward, stretched out her hand to Qi Qi in front of her, and held her in her arms.
The loose robe was the same one she had worn before.
She was very thin before.
I didn't expect that I'm even thinner now.
He's become just a skeleton.
"It's okay, Qiqi."
She said this in Qi Qi's ear.
Even if the flesh and blood of the person in front of him has faded.
But Seraphina still knew.
She is who she is.
They are still best friends.
"You've tried very hard, thank you."
She said so.
However, there was a sizzling sound, and Seraphina discovered that the bones where her and Qiqi's bodies were in contact had traces of being burned black by something.
What's happening here?
"Roar!!"
Qi Qi in front of her made such a sound, and seemed to be in great pain. She pushed Seraphina away and took several steps back.
The rationality in Qi Qi's expression has faded a lot.
"Your body was just constructed by the Holy Light, and there is still a strong residue of Holy Light in your body."
Nellie said so.
"It wouldn't matter if it was an ordinary person, but the friend in front of you is no longer a human being, but an undead creature."
"If you touch her now, she will be burned."
That's how she explained it.
"That's it."
Seraphina gave a look of understanding.
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness Nellie."
She had heard from Furniss about why she was able to survive.
She also just found out that this teammate of hers had a very strong background. Her brother-in-law and sister were both legendary, and she also asked someone to resurrect her and others.
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your teammate."
Nellie shook her head.
"The main component of your body is still Holy Light. The part that truly belongs to your flesh and blood is only a small part. You must remember this."
Nellie warned.
"If you want your body to recover as quickly as possible, you should supplement nutrition as much as possible, eat more meat, fish, or eggs."
The magic of the Holy See cannot completely create something from nothing, and some of the nutrients that need to be supplemented still have to be obtained by themselves.
Qi Qi in front of him took a few steps back. The part burned by the holy light emitted white smoke, and the originally snow-white bones were now pitch black.
"Qi Qi, are you okay?"
Seraphina looked worried.
Phonice beside her also felt something strange.
She always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Qi Qi in front of her.
"I......"
Qi Qi - let's continue to call her Qi Qi for now.
She took a step back, a look of struggle on her face.
She felt a headache.
Am I really Qi Qi?
She held her forehead and her body looked shaky.
Own.....
It doesn’t seem to be Qi Qi.
There are a lot of mixed memories, but none of them are very clear.
It felt like something I had experienced myself, but it also seemed like an illusion.
When should my true memory begin?
She recalled this.
Ahhhhhh.
The soul fire in her skull was beating violently, and it seemed like it would go out at any moment.
She was in a pretty bad state at the moment.
"Uuuuuu——"
She made a sound that sounded like crying, but also like the growl of some dire wolf, which sounded a little scary.
"Qiqi, are you feeling unwell?"
Seraphina walked forward worriedly, wanting to check on her condition, and her other teammates also walked forward with concerned looks on their faces.
By the way, they were now wearing the clothes prepared by Fanny.
After all, she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Don't get too close, you guys."
Nellie stretched out a hand to stop them, saying, "Holy light and the undead are absolutely incompatible. If you get close to them, she won't be able to bear it."
Hearing what Nellie said, the people over there stopped and looked at her from a distance.
"Princess Nelly, what's her condition now?" asked Furniture with a worried look on her face.
Although it sounded quite outrageous to ask a saint from the Holy See whether her lich friend would be okay, but now considering that they cared about their friends, Nellie decided not to argue with them about it.
"She...let's wait and see." Nellie said vaguely.
Her eyes were fixed on Qi Qi in front of her.
Once her bloodthirsty thoughts took over her mind, things would be bad.
The place where her body had just touched Seraphina was burned black and was recovering rapidly.
After a while, everything returned to normal.
[Qi Qi] I feel like my brain is very confused right now.
One side is the memory of the past.
From a long time ago.
I had been wandering around for a long time, and was adopted by kind-hearted stepfather and stepmother and became their daughter.
As a result, a sudden illness almost killed all three members of their family.
Even she herself was dying.
Fortunately, at the last moment, she was able to survive with the help of a medicine developed by the missionaries of the Holy See.
However, her stepfather and stepmother passed away due to old age, and she became alone again.
Until by chance, she came across the book and gained the forbidden knowledge.
Although he felt very sorry for the gentleman from the Vatican, he came here to spread the doctrine of light, teach others to be kind and hardworking, and he himself was saved by the potion he developed.
I should obviously be grateful.
Obviously I should be a good person.
The Holy See is very opposed to necromancy, and I should know this.
But...the idea of resurrecting her parents has always been rooted in her mind.
She finally learned.
But while studying, she hated her own uselessness.
My talent is far from enough and I can't learn those advanced spells at all.
It is completely impossible to revive my parents.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will never have to use these magics in her life.
But she still keeps studying.
Is it fantasy? Or what? Only she can know.
Later, I met my teammates.
These guys made her feel warm again.
They are also my family.
Let's go on an adventure together.
Explore the maze together.
Until that unexpected thing happened.
Everyone in the team was attacked by the Phantom Dragon. It was too powerful and their team was no match for it.
That's it, as it should be.
The whole army was wiped out, only Furniss seemed to be hypnotized.
Her profession is special and does not require weapons. She is also the strongest in the team. Even when she is being controlled, she keeps waving her arms and killing those phantom dragons.
She managed to escape, but she was the only one who was dying, surrounded by the bodies of her teammates.
She also didn't expect that her necromancy would come in handy at this time.
Although, I still can't do it.
Furniss escaped and there was still hope.
It doesn't matter even if you can't be saved.
Although mom and dad, I still couldn't be resurrected.
But at least, this time I have to protect what I cherish most.
......
This is Qi Qi’s last memory.
And at this moment, in Qi Qi's mind.
There is another part of memory.
That is the memory of [Qi Qi], not Qi Qi's.
The cold underground.
Something was burning in the deep cave, emitting a pale blue light that illuminated the darkness.
I was summoned, but it doesn’t seem quite accurate to say it was summoned.
I guess it can be said to be "patched together".
I was spelled out.
A blue-haired girl appeared before his eyes. She was burning herself, using herself as firewood.
I look exactly like her, but I'm much more damaged. I've sustained pretty severe injuries, which are absolutely fatal, but I can no longer feel the pain.
Memories that did not belong to it were instilled into its heart, which was like a blank sheet of paper and knew nothing.
"You are Qiqi."
The person in front of me said so.
“I’ve reached the end of my rope.”
"The rest is up to you."
She said this, and as her own summoner, she issued the first and last order.
"I'm......"
-----------
In the reality at this moment.
The faint blue phosphorescent fire is dancing.
But there was no burning feeling, rather a bit cold.
"I'm......"
"Am I...Qi-Qi...?"
She couldn't understand.
The dark blue soul fire in his eyes was covered with scarlet, which was the taste of bloodthirstiness.
