Chapter 68 I have exited the cabin and feel good.
"Reminder: Estimated remaining action time: 10 seconds. Luo Lan, prepare to exit the body."
Inside the Gundam's head capsule, Victor's steady, neutral synthesized voice broke the momentary silence of the three layers of the Rift Ruins.
The eerie blue flames on the surface of the Bone Gundam had begun to weaken, fading from flames to mere flickering flames.
Having defeated the evil slime, the 27-meter-tall skeleton Gundam also burned out its last bit of energy in the battle.
The flames on the shoulders and ribs contracted first, and after the firelight dimmed, it became clear that the entire massive skeleton was trembling slightly.
Furthermore, during the intense close combat with the evil slime, several load-bearing bones on the White Bone Gundam had already broken.
The current White Bone Gundam is no longer able to even bend down and put Roland back on the ground.
"Nine……"
Victor's countdown continued, his speaking speed unchanged.
"Hmm, assemble, disassemble."
Luo Lan pulled his left-hand bone claw out of the groove in the Gundam's head compartment.
The moment the skeletal interface broke, the overwhelming sense of height suddenly contracted, and the world shrank from a 27-meter perspective to a mere 1.8 meters, leaving only the tactile sensation of one's own human body.
"seven……"
The blue skeletal armor in front of Gundam's head popped off, and Luo Lan's body experienced a slight loss of weight within the skull cavity for a moment.
Then, the heavily armored figure leaped out of the control cockpit with exceptional agility.
There was a vertical distance of more than 20 meters in front of them, and the skeleton beneath their feet had begun to loosen. One by one, the eerie blue flames in the Gundam's joints went out.
Luo Lan ran down the skeletal giant's collarbone beam, her boots treading over the still-hot skeletal shell, using each bone crevice for leverage to bounce.
"five……"
Sliding down the curve of her cervical spine, Luo Lan used the edge of her scapular plate to propel herself away, landing on the outer side of her ribcage, the metal sole of her boot scraping against the bone surface and creating a string of sparks.
"three……"
The ribs were already falling outwards, and the one Luo Lan was standing on made an ominous cracking sound.
About five or six meters off the ground, Luo Lan pushed off backward and jumped out into the air. As he landed, he could already see the dark red blood, flesh, mud, and rubble scattered all over the ground.
"zero."
With her strong physique, Luo Lan bent her knees to cushion the impact and landed steadily on both feet.
The full-body metal armor emitted a dull thud, sending rubble flying in all directions.
"All done. Successful exit from the capsule, safe landing..."
The moment Luo Lan's voice fell, the 27-meter-tall skeletal giant behind him completely extinguished its eerie blue light.
"Crack crack crack... Boom!"
Starting from the skull, the connections between the skeletons of the giant broke one by one. The huge skeleton first leaned forward, then collapsed with a thud, crashing to the ground and shaking the entire third level of the Rift Ruins, raising a large cloud of grayish-white bone dust.
This 27-meter-tall undead construct, "Azeus," which was erected from the ground by relying on [Undead Assembly lv.1] and [Condensation], is far from being able to be maintained for long by Luo Lan's current strength.
After the massive skeleton collapsed, the smoke and dust that rose in the passage lingered for a long time, and tiny bone fragments slowly fell in the remaining heat.
Luo Lan brushed aside the dust in front of him, his gaze sweeping over the various odds and ends scattered around the Gundam:
The rubble was piled up crookedly, and the unextinguished flames occasionally leaped up from the shattered magic crystal remnants. The deactivated slime of the slime shrank into hard pieces on the stone bricks, and bone fragments spread outwards for more than ten meters from where the Gundam collapsed.
Around the corner in the distance, the pile of bottles and jars that Swan had used were still scattered on the ground, several empty medicine bottles were lying in the blood, and broken parts of concealed weapons were stuck in the cracks between the bricks.
[Wait a minute? Where are the Swanns?]
Before Luo Lan piloted the Bone Gundam to fight the Evil Slime, he caught a glimpse of Swan lying unconscious in the rubble like a dead dog, his floral headscarf half-draped over his face.
But now, the mess is still there, and that Shadow Assassin thief who talks a lot of nonsense has vanished without a trace.
Luo Lan walked over to the scattered clutter beside Swann and kicked open an empty roll case.
Only a human-shaped indentation remained in the pile of rubble, with bits of a headscarf still stuck in the cracks between the stones.
Oh, right, I remember...
After a two-second pause, Luo Lan remembered something.
After a pause, Luo Lan's mind flashed back to the inconspicuous skill information he had seen when he used [True Sight lv.1] to examine the slippery thief's "status panel"—[Feign Death lv.3].
Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary life-saving skill could completely halt his vital signs, even deceiving the perception of the evil thought slime split.
Luo Lan speculated that the thief who valued his life had faked his death to avoid battle, enduring the curse and trauma of the extraordinary circuit within his body.
While he was piloting the 27-meter-tall White Bone Gundam and fighting a massive, earth-shattering battle against the mountain of evil slimes, he didn't even have time to pick up his belongings before making a hasty escape.
Luo Lan had no intention of giving chase. A Shadow Assassin thief known for his speed was already far enough away for him to disappear without a trace.
Moreover, if it were Luo Lan herself, she would have run away long ago in that situation.
Swann was cursed, and he had run out of cards, which is why he managed to get this chance to escape.
Luo Lan bent down, raised his hand and brushed aside a few pieces of rubble that were lying on top of the debris that Swan had scattered during the battle, intending to see if there were any recyclable items left in the mess Swan had made in his hasty escape.
A faint, ethereal blue light emanated from his eyes as he scanned the pile of junk with his [True Sight lv.1] activated gaze.
He examined each item one by one: a used, disposable poisoned dagger, its blade bent and the poison completely used up; three empty, low-quality life potions, the bottoms of which were covered in sediment; a crossbow that fired projectiles, its firing slot jammed, the spring popped out from the side...
In the eyes of [True Sight lv.1], most of the information feedback about this pile of junk is gray—exhausted consumables, or damaged waste without any extraordinary residue.
Just as Luo Lan was about to get up and leave, something small suddenly lit up at the edge of her field of vision.
Luo Lan reached out and pushed aside a torn leather prop bag, revealing a bone artifact underneath.
This thing was only ten centimeters long and covered in black ash. If it weren't for the fleeting information displayed in [True Sight lv.1], it would have been extremely easy to overlook as a piece of broken bone fragments in this scorched ruin.
What is this?
Luo Lan reached out and pulled it out of the tattered leather bag, wiping away the black ash on its surface.
A small, blood-red bone dagger.
It is about ten centimeters long, with a slightly curved tip. The blade is engraved with fine runes, and the dried blood-red coating on the surface glows with a dark red light under [True Sight].
【Name: Blood-Removing Bone Dagger】
[Rank: Silver]
[Enchantment: A relic of the Ash Legacy Brotherhood, a bone dagger imbued with blood magic and engraved with guiding runes. When an Ash Legacy Brotherhood stronghold is nearby, this item can be used to locate it.]
Luo Lan held the bone dagger, which gleamed with a dark red light, up to her eyes and tossed it around a couple of times before stuffing it into her storage space, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Heh, not bad. It's not like you came here for nothing, Swan... At least you got me some loot."
