[Anomaly detected external link remains active. ]
[ Unknown variable: GAJA... ]
He whispered, "what's this strange phenomenon happening..."
The loud roar of the Guardian has been faded, but it's echo and terror still can be feel in the surrounding.
The smoke surrounded the trees like a serpent. The still carried the smell of iron and burnt stone. The guardian was tough..
"What would have happened?" If Limbo failed to finished it with last attack he made.
Limbo still stood there, half kneeling, his hands were tremble, body weak..
The faint light of his system were glowing faintly across the ruins.
[Core Fragment obtained 2/3 ]
[ Progress 41% ]
He didn't feel like he had won.
Why? He was looking gazing randomly.
Rin was beside the Gaja, she was trying to keep him conscious.
He was carrying burn marks on all over body.
The mark has spread more on his arm this time, the red burning had faded. Instead it was faint silverblue, flickering almost as if breathing.
"Stay with me, Gaja," she whispered.
Gaja body responded, barely.
The glowing runes on the ground around them, had began to fade, one by one, until only ash and stone with total silence remained.
But this silence wasn't calm as it should be.
Limbo checked his console. The line of unstable code kept repeating.
[email protected]/system.lig
Anomaly= persistent
External node : linked
Status: active [ source unknown ]
He said softly, but I have cut the link. So what is it still holding?
The around them the scenes of brutal battle remain, the destruction caused by the guardian can be even worse.
[Warning unknown node signal remains active ]
Limbo narrow his eyes.
"Someone still remains. I guess we have to be prepared for the final battle."
Rin steps closer to Limbo l, her vines were shifting restlessly.
I not over, she said. I can sense the forest haven't clam yet. They are in pain.
They are screaming, I can hear that.
Limbo looked down towards the the cracked stone. A silver sting of light or something was shining in dust, as he picked up.
It was a small crystal buried in the dust.
[Core data sees dormant archive detected]
[Corruption level 72%]
[ Stability low]
As he reached, and about to touch that stone, the system warned immediately.
[ Direct contact not recommended]
[Neural override risk high]
Rin felt something deep in the her chest.
Limbo.
It feels...sad, she said softly. Like it remember something.
Limbo don't know how should he touch he tore his cloth piece and wrap and put in pocket for time being. The glow dimmed, and it was beating slower
If the guardian protect these, he muttered, they're not as simple as it looks. This stone definitely holds something deep.
Like a map or a key.
A low gasp they heard.
Gaja's eyes open slowly. Dulled silver gleaming in the dim light.
Gaja didn't say anything, he just ly with open eyes, and distant thought. He had a look of yeah that's make sense.
You heard that?
What? Limbo asked.
The marking on his arms crept upward,
Glowing faintly.
Each pulse was matching the heartbeat.
[Host Gaja connection persistent]
[Isolation attempt failed ]
Limbo was make to a conclusion that whatever the situation is it's definitely related to Gaja.
The strange marking on his body, spreading like a curse.
"Is it still inside you," Limbo asked to Gaja.
We should camp out, before we head forward.
Yeah but where?
I think whole place is filled with Corrupted mist. Yeah but it's fading...
Rin join there conversation, she put hand in bag and grabs two glass bottles they were glowing.
Rin gave one to Gaja and other to Limbo.
What about you?
No I'm fine just rest and I'll be back in shape, Rin said full of enthusiasm.
Are you sure? Yeah..
And also don't finish all at once it's strong. Rin said.
Gaja took one Third of bottle and his burn mark stas to fade, his energy slowly coming back.
Meanwhile,
Limbo grab a bottle and just took a sip. He's body was surging with mana and his fatigue level drop he was recovering faster than anyone.
Rin what's this strange potion.
Remember I told you earlier portion made with silver bloom, this are the higher quality than them.
The system pop-up the Notice window:
[ HP has recovered.
Mana has recovered. ]
[ Silver Bloom presence detected. ]
Rin collected remaining potion from Gaja. Limbo was still holding and looking at the bottle, even he has the skill Auto-Mana Recovery. He's debugger instict started to run.. .
"System open console!" He commaded.
Function potioncrafting(int Herbs, string ingredients){
If user.herbs==true && ingredients== true:
Generate.skill('Potion Crafting')
Else: Generate skill('Low Heal')
}
After that Limbo started to compile the code.
System,
Running.....
Compilation....in progress.
Meanwhile Gaja and Rin eye's were full of curiosity and doubts. What was Limbo doing? He neither say nor explained just stood there lost in his own thoughts.
"Limbo should we look for place to tent,"
Rin asked. Limbo, "huh... Did you say something."
"Tent." Yeah..w..
"Compilation complete."
Skill PotionCrafting(), added successfully.
Limbo just give a faint smile on his face while giving Rin potion bottle back.
"Let's head to save location."
"But it will be difficult to find, in this chaos." Rin said.
Whatever, we have to look for a place.
And take a rest.
After gathering their strength Limbo closed console.
But suddenly new lines appeared.
[The unknown node activation detected.]
[ Location: Towards East sector ]
[ Instability rising ]
A wind flow through the runes, scattered the ash like it was a snow.
Far to the east, behind a wall of mist, a red light blinked. Once...twice...they closed.
"What!, another one has awakened," Limbo said quietly. "Then we have to get ready," Gaja replied.
Rin whispered, "this wasn't the victory... It was a signal of final battle."
The words said by Rin echo in mind of Both of them.
The network has begun to move.
