Chapter 104: 103 Still killing each other when your lives are almost gone? You guys are

Chapter 104 103. killing each other when your lives are almost gone? You guys are crazy, aren’t you? 4360]

Tris gave a harsh word to the scouting knights of the Blood League Knights and quickly went back to her tent herself to load up everything she could, but she wasn’t trying to escape this time, she was going to save her little Murphy.

She dispatched Bonnie to call out both Miriam and Major Fraser, both of whom had rested by this point and were still sleepy-eyed when they arrived.

“Hey Tris, why did you change your hair?”

Rubbing her eyes, Miriam was surprised to see Tris, who had her long braid hanging down in front of her chest.

She curiously looked at this kind of appearance of Tris, less delicate and flirtatious than her previous long hair draped over her shoulders, and more than a hint of competence and coldness, especially when her hair did not cover the corners of her eyes, it actually unexpectedly brought a touch of chilling that made people less comfortable to Tris’s delicate face.

It made people unable to help but stand up straight in front of her, not daring to trespass in the slightest.

“I just suddenly miss the old days, is it nice?”

Tris lifted the bottle of wine in her hand tons and tons and took a few sips, squeezing her eyes again and asking, this familiar action immediately dispelled all of Miriam’s doubts.

Well.

This was the same old unreliable Tris.

“Listen, Murphy found a sub-space rift opening in the Blood Wyvern Cloisters.”

Just as soon as Tris opened it, Miriam and Major Fraser’s bodies immediately felt as if they had been struck by lightning, causing them to violently throw off all sleepiness.

Obviously, they had heard of this term.

“How could there be a subspace rift in Transylvania?”

Miriam said with round eyes:

“The last time this thing appeared was at the end of the Second Black Night War two hundred years ago, right?

It is said that the Blood Fear Clan summoned the Subspace Rift in a small town in the Ice Bay region by casting an evil spell, causing a small duchy to be razed to the ground overnight, and that incident directly led to the demise of the Blood Fear Clan!
It was criticized as a negative example in our history textbooks.”

Major Fraser didn’t say anything.

But as one of the heads of the intelligence system of the Pioneer Legion of the Golden Sparrow Kingdom, he obviously knew more details that could not be known by ordinary people.

Because of this, he was even more wary of what Tris had just blurted out.

“It must be reported to the Tower of the Ring immediately!”

The Major snapped:
“This is not something that can be handled by the Blood Vulture Clan, which is now down to two or three kittens!”

“Say again, young man of House Carpe, who are you going to report this to?”

Tris narrowed her eyes and glanced at Major Fraser.

The gradually awakening aura from the Scarlet Witch sent a chill down the Major’s spine, and quickly calmed him down before he was startled.

“Figure it out, huh?”

Tris said with a sneer:
“Do you know why that subspace rift could operate quietly in the depths of the Blood Wyvern Cloister for ten days before being discovered? It’s because the Tower of the Ring’s Star Realm Tearing Grand Technique unleashed in Cadman City perfectly masked the chaotic psychic energy resonance that would be generated when the subspace rift was brewing.

I even suspect that this was all orchestrated by the Tower of the Ring!

Maybe those crazy human psychics were planning to create this subspace rift here in the first place.

Listen to me very carefully, Fraser of the House of Carpe!
I knew your grandfather.

I gave him the first bucket of gold he earned when he was young and making his way through the Cato region, and he did me a small favor, I don’t know if he wrote about it in his memoirs, but he counts as my late friend for the time being.

And you are after the deceased, so I’ll say more.

If you have the life to return to the Kingdom of the Golden Sparrow and want to continue living and enjoying your life, keep this incident in your heart!

You can find out for yourself in private.

But you’re smart enough to know that asking questions to your face will only backfire.

Alright, I need you two to bring at least 30 arithmetic beads and go with me to the Blood Wyvern Corridor, Fraser must be familiar with this since he’s a master of intelligence, you’re responsible for connecting the 30 arithmetic beads into an arithmetic matrix.

Miriam assist me in calculating the mapped projection coordinates of Cadman City in the Astral Plane at this time.”

“But… But I haven’t studied any of this, I’m just an administrative student who knows almost nothing about psychic energy.”

Miriam clawed a little as Tris shook her head:
“It’s just a complicated series of psychic energy formulas that need to be applied, the rest is mechanical giant arithmetic, that matrix will do the process for you, and you’re a college student, if not you, am I going to find some random farmer in the camp to do this?”

“Swish.”

The curtain of the tent was lifted and a panting Missy rushed in.

She should have been washing up just now, her long hair still stained with water droplets, her pale cheeks flushed, but this time she couldn’t care about anything else, staring at Tris and asking:

“I just received Murphy’s communication, what do you mean a subspace rift has appeared underground? Why would a subspace rift appear here? The material world and star realm mapping here isn’t even chaotic to that extent!
Cadman City’s Astral Realm Tearing Grand Technique is indeed amazing, but it’s still at least ten times short of the energy needed to tear the Astral Realm straight to the edge of subspace!

This is simply impossible!”

“The good news is that your general knowledge of astral realm psychic energy is solid, the bad news is what’s the point of you yelling this at me? Why are you yelling so loud? Go complain to the Tower of the Ring that started all this if you’re upset!”

Looking at the numb-clawed and disorganized Femis, Tris chided:

“The truth is that it appeared! Right here in the halls of the Bloodwyvern Sacred Pool, old Finok has confirmed that the Sacred Blood Pool is acting as an anchor point for the Subspace Rift to provide a waypoint to the Material World, and that your father has become the carrier of the Chaos Shadow’s projection in the Material World.

He has become a ‘sacrifice’!
I now suspect that the Tower of the Ring’s Great Astral Tearing Technique was merely an attempt to mask the vibrations of the opening of the Subspace Rift as a means of blinding the other powers to the monitoring of Chaos psychic energy.

The water in this matter is much deeper than we thought!

The swallowing of Cadman City by the Astral Realm was only the beginning of the disaster, far from the end.

Prepare yourself, Phineas.

I know you have not presided over such mega counter and purification spells, but I am too weak now, too empty of knowledge to turn into power.

You must assume the responsibility!

After I calculate the exact mapping coordinates of Cadman City in the Astral Plane, it is up to you to cast a spell to push the entire Hall of Sacred Blood Pools into the Astral Plane as a way to allow the release of the energy built up in the subspace rift, or we will all die the moment it opens.

And the saddest part is that our deaths in this case aren’t even a punishment.

I’ve told you before what happens to the Bloodfear Clan when you’re stupid!

All they did back then was open a gap between subspace and the three sides of the Astral and Material Worlds, and the raging Chaos energies that came out engulfed a quarter of Ice Bay, reshaping the entire coastline of the Sax region in the process.

Over three hundred thousand people gave their lives for that foolish ritual.”

Tris stared at Phimis and spoke in a hushed voice:
“And that subspace rift that’s opening beneath our feet has been operating undisturbed for ten whole days! Guess what kind of result it will cause when it actually opens? The entire continent might be torn in two as the Transylvania region is torn apart.

And that’s just the best I can think of.

The only advantage we have right now is because the Tower of the Ring’s Great Astral Tearing Spell unleashed in Cadman City earlier has left the mapping of the material and astral realms here yet to be fully rebuilt.

This means that we only need to pay much less than usual to reopen the Astral Rift and reverse those destructive energies into the Astral Realm.”

“But that would have incalculable consequences.”

Femis was clearly stunned by Tris’s crazy plan, and she said in a hoarse tone:

“The Star Realm is an isolated zone between the material world and the center of subspace, in case we mess up.”

“Don’t worry, an astral realm that can give birth to a deity is not as fragile as you think.”

Tris sighed and said:

“The worst result is nothing more than tearing a seam in the star world, but it’s definitely a hundred times better than the result of letting the subspace rift open directly in the material world. Not to mention that little Murphy is still there, and I’m the only one who can save him! So without asking too many questions, start acting immediately!
What are you two still waiting for?
Get moving!”

Under Tris’s stern reprimand, Miriam and Fraser walked out of the tent with heavy expressions and started making preparations, while Phimis gritted her teeth in the tent as she said to Tris:

“I just saw the Blood Alliance Knights releasing a plea for help fireworks outside the camp, did you tell them about this?”

“Crap.”

Tris said without looking back as she put on her combat belt:
“Don’t you want a Blood Alliance Knight Lord to come and stand in front of you so that you can go straight to your father who has been ‘chosen’ by subspace?
Salokdar is also a gold-ranked Ancient One, under his reinforcement by the power of subspace, the old Finok can’t stand up to it alone even if he’s holding the Holy Blade, it’ll take another gold-strong person to create a chance for you to interrupt the connection between him and the Holy Blood Pool.

I know you’re worried.

But don’t be afraid, this is actually good for you.

Your father is tainted by the will of subspace, which means that nothing he says or does will ever be believed by anyone again.

Your secrets will instead be buried deep in the new situation.

Provided we survive this.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about, Tris, my little secret doesn’t mean anything anymore in this situation.”

Femis rubbed her forehead as she said:
“I just feel that there are more and more suspicions in this matter, and the more I draw on it, the more I feel that this can’t be a coincidence at all, and it seems that we’re being used, and it’s not just us! Even the attack on Cadman City by the Kingdom of Goldfinch and the Tower of the Ring is likely just a piece of some larger conspiracy.

Yet we simply cannot see the whole picture.

What I want to know more than anything else right now is, what is my father’s role in this? Tris, do you think there’s a possibility that my father-
He volunteered?
That he volunteered to serve as a carrier of the will of subspace in the material world, to close the Blood Wyvern Cloisters to keep his secrets from being discovered, all in order to bring about a complete destruction?”

“I don’t know, but I don’t think that’s like Salokdar, he’s not so great that he’d be willing to give everything he has for a goal, good or bad. That’s why I suspect he’s being played!

Beaten mercilessly at what he does best, and it wasn’t even my plan back then, it couldn’t have anything to do with subspace no matter how it was stretched.

Unless, of course, Salokdar modified it.

In a way that I can’t guess the means at all.”

Tris glanced back at Phimis.

She moved her left hand, a cloud of scarlet shimmer pulsing through her slender fingers as she said:
“You might be able to ask him yourself, except that I need you to jump into the Pool of Sacred Blood right now to sever its connection to the Matriarch, which is the only way to get the ever-building subspace energy out of control.

The connection isn’t severed, the thing will just continue to function steadily.

This is basically the same as me asking you to die!

And the chances of you surviving are negligible, so if you don’t want to, tell me now and I’ll find a way to make you ‘want to’.”

“I’m not unwilling.”

Femis bowed her head as she said:
“I will not live with blinders on when I have stepped out of the lie of my life! I’m going to figure this out, no matter what it takes!”

“Good, it looks like you’ve come to your senses, finally you haven’t wasted the chance to be born that I sacrificed everything I had back then to get you.”

Tris nodded in satisfaction, took out a sealed scroll and handed it to her, saying:
“This contains the method on how to cut off the connection between the Blood Vulture Archduke and the Holy Blood Pool, don’t ask me how I got this kind of terrible secret, just feel free to learn it, of course, you have to rot in your heart with this forbidden knowledge!

If anyone else finds out you’ve learned this, trust me.
Believe me, even Venerable Lord Paying won’t be able to protect you.

Leaving in 10 minutes!”

Femis nodded and turned to walk out of the tent, but as she reached the door she suddenly turned back to Tris, who had braided her hair, and she asked in a small voice:
“So this is what a ‘Scarlet Witch’ really looks like?
Sharp, decisive, wise, cold and ruthless, back then you must have caused my father a lot of pressure and even felt a strong threat, otherwise it would be impossible for him to give up such an outstanding bloodline just to exchange for a not-so-excellent me.”

“No way, you flatter me, you are actually a bit more outstanding than you think, but still not as good as me back then.”

Tris said as she waved her hand:
“How can the current me have a tenth of the elegance I had back then? Otherwise this little thing at the moment I can handle it alone, it’s just a subspace threat, it’s not like I’ve never been exposed to it. What we played back then was much more powerful than these now.

As for the Scarlet Witch
That was more than a hundred years ago.

I buried her a long time ago, and frankly speaking, after sinking in misery for over a hundred years, I actually prefer the freer and more comfortable me that I am now.”

“If you’ve already buried her, why did you bring her back to life this night?”

Phineas whispered with a squeeze of his eyes:
“Was it for Murphy? You two are so funny, Murphy dared to rush headlong into a city invaded by astral psionics for you, and you’re even more outrageous! To actually dare to face the threat of subspace head on for him is an enviable sentiment.”

“Don’t you pry into our business!”

Tris said fiercely:
“Hurry back and get ready!”

“Yes, Your Witch Excellency.”

Femis leaned down slightly.

She also seemed to have let go a bit after making her decision, no longer as formal and stereotypical as before, and the moment she stepped out of the tent, she whispered:

“Perhaps it should not be up to me to remind you of your predecessor, but it is also true that there are certain taboos in vampire society between honored elders and bloodborn, and I feel that you are more aware of these than I am, so good luck to both of you.”
—
“Bang.”

The low sound of a gunshot echoed through the not-so-large dimly lit area as the searing projectile shot straight up flew out of the muzzle of the gun and grazed the forehead of the gray-haired Demon Hunter Hime, Natalie.

It wasn’t that the shooter wasn’t aiming, it was just that the witch hunter quietly dodged it with her instinctive reflexes.

This was clearly not normal.

Especially at this distance.

That was why Mrs. Adele had enough reason to believe that the witch hunter in front of her, who was wielding dual swords, must have used some kind of special technique.

But she no longer had time to think about this.

The straight-edged battle swords “Guardian” and “Sanction” wrapped in purifying fire came slashing with a gust of wind, the first slash cut off the bayonet in her hand, and the second slashed out along her neck, splitting Mrs. Adele’s long hair in two from her chin.

Beyond this deadly fight, Maxim was already covered in blood.

He was already at a disadvantage against the three ferocious witch hunters in front of him, but he still fought like a bloodthirsty hyena in a deadly battle.

All because of the order given by Lord Murphy!

They had to hold on to this self-destructing core in order to fulfill Lord Murphy’s plan of killing two birds with one stone.

But both sides have been fighting for nearly twenty minutes with their wills and terrain, even the most powerful guys can’t stand it anymore, none of the six people present are still intact, the blood spilled on the ground is enough to gather into a pool of blood.

Almost there.

Both sides are about to reach their limits, and the winner will soon be decided.
“Swish.”

A scarlet spirit energy transmission quietly opened at the edge of the chamber at this moment, and then Tris rushed in with a large group of people, and under the skin of the “Scarlet Witch”, Tris glanced at this side, shook her head and gave a gesture.

Behind her, Major Fraser drew his trench gun of impressive caliber and fired a shot from above, the deer projectile flying projectile hitting the top of the rubble and stopping the fatal fight at this moment.

Natalie and Adele turned back almost simultaneously.

The former’s knife was at the latter’s neck, the latter’s gun at the former’s heart.

“Had enough?”

Tris said in a cold voice:
“Make enough of a scene and get your ass over here! Now I’m going to need your full cooperation, hopefully you’ve just moved your bodies sufficiently, because everyone in this area won’t have time to rest next, hopefully you’ll last until we solve the trouble
Or when we all die together hand in hand.

I’m taking over from here now, everyone on my command!

Maxim!

Raise that self-destruct core!

Start modifying it immediately, it must be done in six hours!”
