The sound of water dripping came from the darkness.
Brando's eyelids twitched, and he finally woke up from the pitch-black environment. He felt that his surroundings were silent, as if he had returned to the beginning of the world.
After groaning, his consciousness gradually became clearer, and he subconsciously opened his status panel to take a look. When the faint green light screen appeared out of nowhere in the darkness, Brando finally felt a little more at ease.
The status showed that he did not have any fractures or internal injuries, and there were not even any large wounds, just some abrasions and impacts.
He then realized that he was worrying too much, and the strength of his body after entering the Golden Realm was not just for show.
However, the surroundings were still pitch-black, and there was no light. Even if his perception was high, he could not see in complete darkness. However, when he tried to take out the fluorescent gem, he immediately realized that a large amount of heavy earth and rocks were pressing down on his body, making him unable to move. Brando then remembered the scene when he was hit by the collapsed earth and rocks, and that was the main reason why he fainted.
But he could not help but feel lucky, if it was a normal person, even if he was lucky enough to escape, he would not be able to escape the fate of suffocation.
But then again, if he was just a normal person, he would have died in Bucce.
Taking a deep breath, Brando extended his arms outwards, and the power of more than 100 OZ immediately shook the earth and rocks, rolling down. Then he tried again, and with the addition of Power Burst, he finally broke the earth and rocks pressing down on him.
Once he broke free, Brando immediately patted the sand off his body and stood up, but he subconsciously wiped his forehead, and felt that his hand was cold. Stunned for a moment, he immediately took out the fluorescent gem, and under the pale light, he saw that his hand was covered in blood.
"F * ck."
Brando cursed, and then looked around. The situation outside made him sigh in relief, after the collapse of the tunnel, the passage was not completely sealed, at least there was still a way out.
The passage was at the other end of the tunnel, and the torches on the rock wall had long been extinguished, and he did not know where it led to. At this moment, the surrounding environment had greatly changed, and even Brando could not distinguish between north, south, east, and west.
He was about to raise the gem and shine it in that direction, but suddenly he heard a groan behind him.
Brando was stunned for a moment before he recalled everything that had happened before the earthquake.
He turned around and saw the girl from the Grey Wolves Mercenaries lying quietly on the other side of the rubble. Scarlet's eyes were tightly shut, and her sharp face was as pale as a sheet of paper under the pale light. Her eyelashes were trembling slightly, but they reflected a rare kind of quiet and gentle beauty.
However, the young man was not in the mood to pay attention to this beauty. Instead, he was paying attention to the pool of blood that was dripping from the other party's forehead. This was somewhat abnormal. The strength of an oracle's body was far greater than that of a human's. Logically speaking, Scarlet should not have suffered such superficial wounds.
He suddenly thought of a bad guess, so he slowly walked over and squatted down beside her. He reached out and touched the girl's forehead.
It was boiling hot.
Brendel's heart skipped a beat. He let go of his hand and saw that there was a layer of faint black patterns under the girl's pale forehead. It was growing along her cheeks.
This meant that Scarlet's will was fighting against the Blood of God. Every time she fell into a coma, it was a serious test for her.
Brando thought for a moment, took out a waterskin and poured some water on his palm. He then took out the crystal that was once infused with the Blood of God and placed it on her forehead.
"Scarlet?"
"Wake up!"
He shouted twice, and to his relief, the girl's eyelids finally moved under the light, and then she opened her eyes. Her pupils seemed to be shrouded in a terrible layer of black and red at first, but after a while, they returned to normal.
They turned into a pair of amber burning with a vigorous flame.
The burning flame seemed to be the power of life, symbolizing a tenacious will.
"Scarlet?"
Scarlet was in a daze at first, but then she reacted. She looked at Brando in confusion and asked weakly, "Commander … Eke …?"
"It's me." Brando put away the crystal and answered.
The red-haired girl hesitated for a moment and said, "… My Lord?" Then she closed her eyes quietly. She vaguely remembered that she had a nightmare.
In her dream, she dreamt that she was buried under a blood-red tree. The tree's roots pierced into her body, and the crimson roots wrapped around her, constantly extracting her blood, but she couldn't move at all.
This was not the first time she had such a dream, but this time it was particularly clear. She felt a little uneasy and subconsciously thought that the nightmare might be related to the Blood of God in her body.
"Yes, how is it? Is it okay? "Brando asked worriedly when he saw Scarlet close her eyes.
The red-haired girl moved and immediately groaned in pain. She felt that her leg had been injured. Looking down, she found a long wound. Blood was seeping out of her battle robe, dyeing it red.
She was a little nervous. Although the rock was sharp, it was not enough to hurt people with their level of strength. Not to mention that she was actually an Oracle. Her body's toughness, resistance, and recovery ability were even better than Brando's.
This was not normal.
The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger. She subconsciously tried to sit up, but the pain made her groan and lie back down. She laid on the ground and gasped for breath. Her forehead was full of cold sweat, but she did not feel the pain at all. Instead, her mind was filled with another thought.
Where is my power?
She clearly remembered that she had gained the power of Gold after she became an Oracle. Didn't the Lord say the same thing?
But she felt that she had no power at all. It was a feeling she had not felt for many years. She was weak and powerless, just like an ordinary person.
Her power disappeared.
The girl laid on the ground, her eyes out of focus. She suddenly felt a little helpless.
When Makarov disbanded the Grey Wolves Mercenaries, she had such an experience. Everything that she could rely on and rely on in the past seemed to have lost its meaning. It was as if she was choked by a great despair.
She could not breathe.
It was Brando who brought her out of this hopeless situation. The young Lord gathered most of the original members of the Grey Wolves Mercenaries and gave her a reason to continue living.
It was not easy for her to walk out of this shadow and adapt to a new life. It could even be said that she liked this kind of life! At least in the past, the most outstanding people in Makarov's eyes were Eke and Jutta. She was just an insignificant member.
But in this place, whether it was because of the power of Gold from the Blood of God or not, at least she could feel that Brando valued her.
Her existence was not insignificant. She was also one of the most important forces in the Lord's group.
Moreover, she could continue to fight side by side with the original members of the Grey Wolves Mercenaries.
This made Scarlet feel satisfied, even if it was very short.
She had expected that she would one day become an Oracle and lose everything she had now. But she did not expect that Martha was playing a joke on her. When she just blended into the environment, she found that her power had completely disappeared.
Right now, she was no different from a normal person. She was even weaker than a normal person.
But she knew that a noble did not need a useless retainer. Even though she was also a normal person, she admitted that she was not as smart and knowledgeable as Martha.
She could not help but tremble when she thought of this.
"What's wrong?" Brando saw that Scarlet's face was pale and did not say a word.
"My Lord …" Scarlet said in a small voice: "I, I don't have any power."
Brando was stunned. It was normal to lose too much blood, but he felt that it was a little strange. Logically speaking, an Oracle's body should not be so heavily injured.
But what was even stranger was Scarlet's strange words. This girl was lying on the ground, her face pale and weak. She said to him weakly: My Lord, I don't have any power.
[What does this mean? Is she asking me to help her up?]
If it was a young Roman, Brando could understand. But in his impression, Scarlet was an introverted girl. Not to mention acting coquettishly, she was almost as expressionless as Felaern.
There must be a reason for this abnormality.
Brando carefully observed to see if Scarlet had become an Oracle. She pretended to be like this to ambush him, but he was very familiar with the signs of an Oracle. She did not look like she was controlled by the Blood of Gods.
He showed a puzzled expression: "Hmm?"
But Scarlet's mind was in a mess. She did not notice Brando's confusion. Her mind was filled with the ruthless look of Makarov, who she regarded as both a father and a teacher. She could not help but repeat her words:
"My Lord, I don't have any power left. I'm afraid I can't keep up with you …"
Brando was stunned again. [What's going on?] However, he suddenly understood and asked tentatively, "You've lost your Gold Power?"
Scarlet's face paled and nodded slowly.
"I see." Brando nodded.
This time, it was Scarlet's turn to be stunned.
Scarlet had imagined Brando's reaction more than once. She was afraid that the same thing would happen again. But she did not expect Brendel's reaction, as if he suddenly realized something!
"It's nothing." Brando shook his head. He knew that what happened to Scarlet was not a good sign. It meant that the conflict between the Blood of Gods had intensified. When she regained her power, she would become a true Oracle.
It would not take too long. It would take at most a few days, or at least a few hours. At that time, her power would reach a new level, but she would no longer be her original self.
But of course, he could not tell her directly. He comforted her: "It's alright. Can't you stand up?"
Scarlet was completely stunned. She nodded in confusion.
Brando extended his hand: "Let me help you."
Brando's voice was not loud when he said this. It was even a little gentle out of sympathy for the poor girl. Scarlet felt as if his words had penetrated all defenses and hit her heart.
She felt tears welling up in her eyes.
