Chapter 220 Huilia
"You're talking about the time you helped Qingxuan... What are you planning to do?"
"I'm not doing anything, I just want you to agree to cooperate with our operation if you really want to save the world."
There was no movement on the distant coast. The attacking mages were all wiped out. Haruki gripped the longsword in his hand and examined it carefully.
Belial's Twilight form transformed from his original head into sword axes, each flanking him with malevolent, bright yellow eyes. The blade itself was adorned with purple and black patterns, capable of unleashing flames with a mere swing.
The hilt was thick and the blade was light. Although Haruki himself didn't know whether it should be called a knife or a sword, there were already so many absurd things in this world, so what did it matter if there was one more?
After flipping it a few times to test its feel, Haruki was very satisfied with this new power. Belial Twilight also liked the body he had been looking forward to for so long. They finally achieved a unity of will, and then they could try further fusion.
"What exactly did you do to Haruki, Belial Twilight! You dare to hurt him, I will never forgive you!"
"Don't get so agitated. It seems you still don't understand the current situation. I have no reason to hurt myself, do I? After all, there's still this world waiting for me to eliminate the source of this trouble."
“I am Natsukawa Haruki, I am Belial Twilight, and I am also a completely new individual who has evolved from them. I will name myself after my strong desire for justice.”
"My name is—Hulia."
The giant bird attack over the island had ended, but the ant-beasts hiding in the ruins were still trembling with fear. The remaining flames on the ground terrified them, especially now that they had lost their leader.
The worker ants trembled in the shadows, fearing the sudden onslaught of the next attack. The colony had nowhere to go; the island was their last refuge.
Soldier ants struggled in the ruins, severely burned in their attempt to resist the flames. If they did not fight back, more of their brethren would be harmed, and someone had to make a sacrifice.
The War Angel, the clan's mother, looked on with heartache at her ravaged children, for her failure had implicated the entire clan, and her blind trust in Grandi had harmed all her brethren who followed her.
Luo Yi came out of the house and looked at the messy ground and the suffering ant colony. He knew that the ant colony was now the target of the Mage Guild, and he also knew that Yao Hui had saved them.
"The island has been targeted by the Mage Guild. Even if this attack is stopped, the next attack is only a matter of time."
"Where else can these ant-beasts go? Where else can they hide from the Mage Guild's pursuit?"
"Hey, Luo Yi, take this."
Huilia's sudden shout woke up Luo Yi, who was feeling down. Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Yi knew that the hero had returned. He looked up and reached out his hand. Luo Yi felt that he had obtained something incredible.
"This is... Yuugi Junsei? Why are you giving this to me, Haruki?"
"You wanted to save these monsters, right? Well, I'll help you out. I don't want to look at anything from the Mage's Guild anyway, so I'll just let you use this thing."
Luo Yi felt that Yao Hui had become very strange, not only in appearance, but also in behavior and tone of voice.
Looking at the Courage Crystal in his hand, Luo Yi was absolutely certain that it was a genuine treasure. It possessed gentle healing energy and mysterious, powerful Ultra Light energy. Having obtained the Courage Crystal once before, Luo Yi was very confident in its authenticity.
Looking at Haruki's current state, his eyes are sharp, his demeanor is frivolous, and his whole body exudes an aggressive aura. He doesn't look like a hero at all; instead, he looks like a demon.
"What are you standing there for? Don't tell me you don't know how to use this thing? You weren't like this when you were in Langye Prefecture."
"I know, but I don't understand... why are you helping us?"
"Isn't it enough that we all have the same annoying guy?"
Yao Hui has really changed. Luo Yi couldn't believe that the legendary hero would become someone so pleasing to him now—confident, powerful, full of personality, and genuinely sincere.
"When others ask you to do something, don't ask why. It's just a matter of saying yes or no. What kind of talk is it if you hesitate? By the time you can figure out the cause and effect, the people who really need help have already cried their eyes out."
Seeing Luo Yi asking questions like Zeta, Huilia impatiently took back the Courage Crystal, activated its healing energy, and began to heal the ant-beasts without saying a word.
Having witnessed the affinity energy many times, the radiance emanated from the Courageous Pure Crystal, which was thrown into the air by Huilia, and then slashed through the air to push it high up, fixing it in a position that could illuminate the entire ant colony.
The blade, though entirely black, can amplify the warmest light, allowing warmth to fly to the center of the arena and shine light on the scarred faces of creatures.
The magic of Yongyi Chunjing can power the Giant of Light, and naturally it can help the entire ant colony heal, allowing those lives in distress to see hope again.
The ant-beast, which had been hiding in the darkness, stepped out and stood in the light high in the sky. Looking up at its new faith, the ant-beast never imagined that the giant of light, with its terrifying fighting power, could be so gentle.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say, Zeta?"
With the Riser in hand, Huilia can still communicate with Zeta. The human in front of her is indeed Haruki's appearance, but is his heart still that of the partner Zeta once knew?
“No, you did help those in need, and I could feel your sincerity… Huilia.”
"But I won't accept you. I believe Haruki will definitely come back. Until then, I will protect everything about Haruki!"
"You really didn't disappoint me, Zeta. I really admire your courage. Please keep going until the end."
Once Yong-yi and Chun-jing finished their healing work, the bright and cheerful sunlight rose from the distant sea, shining on the island and heralding the start of a new day.
The Courageous Crystal in the air was retrieved by the spatial fracture of Huilia and then casually tossed to Luo Yi, who needed it more than he did.
No matter what Luo Yi does with the Courage Crystal, Huiya won't say anything, because he believes Luo Yi will use his power correctly, instead of acting like those lunatics in the Magicians' Guild.
"Let's go, Luo Yi, there are still many things waiting for us to do."
"Before that, it seems you forgot something, Haruki."
"Oh?" Upon hearing Luo Yi's words, Huiliya stopped and turned around, only to find that the entire ant swarm, led by the clan's mother, the War Angel, was moving towards her.
Worker ants gathered in a circle in the distance, soldier ants folded their wings and lay on the ground waiting quietly, and the giant ant queen lowered her head and bowed her head in a gesture of respect she had learned before, in order to express her unspeakable gratitude.
"Here we go again, making me sound like some kind of galactic overlord who has to live a life of luxury wherever I go."
"However, I don't object. Do whatever you want."
"Is there anything else, Luo Yi? I don't want to be disturbed before we get down to business."
"Hmm, there are still a few missing otherworldly monsters whose whereabouts are unknown. They might be hiding somewhere on the continent, evading the Mage Guild's pursuit. Can you go and rescue them, Haruki?"
"What should you call me?"
"I'm sorry, sir!"
