UGB Chapter 74 Yongdong Peak
Chapter 74 Yongdong Peak
Seele's gaze swept over March 7 and the others.
Finally, it landed on Xing.
"You say you can solve the problem of the star core?"
Xing nodded, meeting her scrutinizing gaze.
"We can't guarantee it, but we will do our best."
"Try your best?" Seele sneered. "I've heard that kind of talk far too many times."
"I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
She stood up straight, hoisted the sickle onto her shoulder, and raised her chin slightly.
"It's very simple to make us believe you."
"Fight me."
"If you can defeat me, I will take you to see Oleg, the leader of 'Earthfire'."
"Otherwise, you will go back to where you came from."
Both March 7th and Danheng frowned.
This girl named Xier is too combative, isn't she?
However, after thinking for a moment, Xing stepped forward.
"it is good."
Xing looked at Xier, his golden eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
"I accept your challenge."
……
On the train, watching the two people fighting on the screen.
Lu Li ate sunflower seeds while going over the plot in his mind.
Until now.
Apart from "slight" differences, the general direction of the plot is consistent with his memory.
But most importantly, because of his reminder, the main characters noticed Cocolia's abnormality from the beginning and started looking for a solution.
Recalling that scene from his memory, Lu Li shook his head.
The question now is whether the main characters can defeat Cocolia before she is completely corrupted by the Star Core and sever her connection with it.
Oh, right.
I also need to remember to find Himeko and Welt so they can make preparations in advance.
After all, only they can seal the star core.
The following plot unfolded exactly as Lu Li remembered.
The main characters get into a fight with the hot-tempered Seele, but eventually become friends.
Together they ventured deep into the Rift, clearing out monsters and searching for traces of the Star Core.
In this process, Xing's growth rate as the protagonist is astonishing.
She quickly grew from a "newbie" who was even a bit rusty in combat into a reliable warrior who could stand on her own.
Her teamwork with March 7th and Danheng is becoming increasingly seamless.
Lu Li felt very gratified as he looked at the gray-haired girl on the screen, who was swinging a baseball bat with a dashing and heroic air.
Not bad, not bad, the protagonist is indeed the protagonist.
This growth rate is even faster than his cheat code.
With her around, I can slack off more easily from now on.
at last.
After gathering enough clues and uniting the forces of the subterranean fire.
The main characters learn that Bronya has been taken away by Cocolia.
Therefore, the main characters decide to return to the upper district to confront the Great Guardian Cocolia and expose her conspiracy.
The moment of decisive battle has arrived.
Lu Li also sat up from the sofa, his expression becoming much more serious.
He had already reminded Himeko and Welt, and they were probably watching March 7 and the others just like him.
Success or failure hinges on this moment.
His "mystery grand prize" is waiting for this opportunity.
The trio of March 7th and Seele fought their way through the challenges.
finally.
At the summit of Everwinter, deepest in the Beloborg, they finally found Cocolia, who was leading Bronya to communicate with the Star Core.
……
Yongdong Peak.
As the highest point in Belleburg, this is the most sacred place in Belleburg.
Every Great Guardian listens to the will of the city's builders here and guides the city in the right direction.
Now, however, this place has been transformed by Cocolia into an altar for communicating with the Star Core.
The massive Kripper statue, which originally symbolized protection and hope, was now shrouded in an eerie purple halo.
The energy from the rift coiled around it like vines, making the originally solemn statue appear twisted and malevolent.
Beneath the statue, a massive altar has already been erected.
Cocolia wore a gorgeous white dress, and the star core emanating an aura of calamity hovered in mid-air and slowly rotated in front of her.
"Look at the future they've promised, Bronya."
"A world without pain, a world where people no longer have to plead like prisoners, a world we can protect forever."
Cocolia's voice was ethereal and otherworldly, as if it possessed a bewitching magic.
Bronya, standing behind her, looked at her mother's back with eyes full of struggle and pain.
"No... Mother..."
"For seven hundred years, we have tried and struggled, believing that the light of humanity could guide us toward revival. And what has been the result?"
Cocolia slowly turned around, her purple eyes looking at Bronya.
Utter defeat!
"When faced with an irresistible force, is our first instinct always to resist, to plug our ears, instead of listening to its demands?"
"Those are the indelible desires and cowardice that reside deep within people's hearts!"
She reached out her hand to Bronya.
"Abandon them, break free of the shackles that bind you, Bronya."
"The Star Core will lead humanity toward evolution!"
Bronya looked at her mother's outstretched hand.
The hand that had gently stroked her head countless times now felt incredibly unfamiliar and terrifying to her.
Bronya shook her head in anguish, "No, no..."
Just then—
"Your brainwashing ends here, witch!"
A clear, cold, and powerful voice pierced through the icy landscape.
As the words were spoken, a blue figure leaped up from the side of the mountain.
next moment.
A massive scythe slammed down between Cocolia and Bronya with a whooshing sound.
Seele landed steadily on the ground, her giant scythe in hand, her red and black outfit fluttering in the wind.
behind her.
On March 7th, Dan Heng and Xing Ye arrived one after another, assuming a fighting stance and confronting Cocolia.
"Seele?!"
Caught between the two groups, Bronya was both surprised and delighted to see the blue-haired girl suddenly appear.
Cocolia's face immediately darkened.
She stared coldly at these uninvited guests, a chilling murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
"It still came. I thought this blizzard would bury you all..."
"Dream on!" Seele pointed her scythe at Cocolia. "We won't fall until we defeat you!"
Cocolia glanced at them coldly, her tone full of disdain.
"Just the few of you?"
"Cocolia!" March 7th stepped forward angrily. "You've been bewitched by the Star Core!"
"Wake up! Stop being so stubborn!"
Xingye said in a deep voice, "Stop your connection with the star core immediately; it might not be too late."
Dan Heng didn't speak, but silently gripped the spear in his hand.
The gaze fixed on Cocolia was filled with vigilance.
However, these words of advice were like talking to a brick wall for Cocolia, who was already deeply involved.
Cocolia just laughed dismissively when she heard that.
"Bewitching? No."
"This is a blessing!"
