I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 489 - 7: Thousand-Mile Eye and Concealing the Celestial Secret – Celestial Maiden Body and Taking Advantage of Others? (Part 3)
"Errands?" Mash was taken aback.
"I understand... I will prove it to the king." Fujimaru Rikou, with quick Agility, immediately agreed. The girl mused to herself, he seemed like a tsundere, hard to deal with, stubborn and tough, but this kind of personality was still better than being truly unyielding.
If someone is dead set on not cooperating, that’s when it becomes truly painful.
"So, proving one’s worth to the king comes first?" Da Vinci chuckled lightly from Chaldea’s communication.
"But how should we do it..." Mash was a bit troubled. They said it’s errands, but we can’t really do just errands, right? It feels a lot like those strange RPG games—
Even though the world is about to end, no one is willing to help the hero selflessly. The hero has to desperately run errands to complete a series of troublesome prerequisite tasks to obtain crucial information or items to save the world from ending...
"Then how about exchanging it for defeating the Three Goddess Alliance?"
Fujimaru Rikou pondered seriously, then cautiously proposed this suggestion. According to the understanding from Merlin, the main issue at this singularity is the Three Goddess Alliance.
It’s a problem that cannot be circumvented, like those previous singularities where, no matter how powerful and terrifying the final boss is, it inevitably has to be confronted.
So the girl didn’t think there was anything wrong with her proposal. It’s good to seize the initiative anyway.
Gilgamesh’s reaction was initially silent, followed by loud laughter, almost to the point of tears, then came relentless sarcasm. After all, if those goddesses were so easily overthrown, Uruk wouldn’t be in its current state, with twelve fortress cities destroyed, and the last demon beast front lines still fiercely resisting.
And from Chaldea’s side, there’s only one Master and one Sub-Servant. Where is the confidence coming from?
"In this era, with the Holy Grail’s summoning, most of the Servants who could help are at your Uruk, my king. But there might be one more we can recruit..." Fujimaru Rikou shared her thoughts, which were part of a plan previously discussed with Chaldea, sensibly avoiding attempting the high-difficulty tasks alone with just her and Mash.
"So that’s your plan? I thought you all were deluded thinking you could challenge those goddesses with such limited manpower."
Gilgamesh continued with the cold taunts but didn’t oppose Fujimaru Rikou’s plan: "Your idea isn’t bad, but that person is currently mingling with Ishtar, and it’s unclear what their intentions are. If you want to proceed, you’ll have to face Ishtar first."
"Ah? Wait, isn’t that one part of the Three Goddess Alliance too?"
Fujimaru Rikou was stunned. Didn’t that Immortal three months ago take action to annihilate the beast tide, alleviating the pressure on the demon beast front lines? How could they have already joined the Goddess Alliance in the blink of an eye?!
Could they be a Fairy?
"Fools, I never said that, but that mysterious guy, I don’t know where they came from, and I don’t understand what grounds they operate on..." Gilgamesh pondered, "Moreover, it’s impossible to discern any trace of existence in the past or future apart from the current era."
"Ah, about that I tried to see as well, it’s like an illusion or a hazy mist, covered with layers of Lies obscuring the truth that can never be grasped, completely concealing any details..."
Merlin added, helplessly shrugging.
"As per China’s saying, it should be ’concealing the Celestial Secret,’ after all, they’re an Immortal..." Da Vinci’s voice came from Chaldea’s communications, seemingly in contemplation.
......
...
Returning to Mount Abif.
As the Sun set in the west, and the Moon quietly ascended the sky, Ishtar returned from her escapades and, after some clamoring, happily took the Gemstone back...
And as the first natural moonlight spilled over the earth, illuminating the cottage with its translucent glow, only then did it gradually retract, revealing the Witch once more, still surrounded by a mist-like moonlit radiance, her eyes tightly shut, her long eyelashes unmoving.
Her black, silky hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her fair skin seemed to emanate the glow of moonlight.
At this moment, the Witch truly was a beacon of moonlight.
The aura she exuded seemed not much different from before, but now it felt more chillingly serene, like Guanghan’s bright moon in the sky, possessing a sense of otherworldly etherealness, making even the air feel crisp under the influence.
A Fairy in the Celestial Palace...
It’s done!
Gu Mo had a revelation but did not rush to act, patiently waiting.
The Witch’s long eyelashes quivered gently, eventually opening her eyes, shimmering like autumn waves with a hint of confusion, as if waking from a long lost sleep. Yet, in a moment, she recalled what had transpired.
Rising to sit mid-air, she realized her current state, and with just a slight thought, gracefully descended back onto the ground. The moonlight radiance enveloping her slowly dissipated.
