Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space beside Kanon.
The crack quickly swallowed Kanon and the tentacles that bound her. Then, Eight-cloud Ink arrived and stood in the air above the cruise ship. Kanon appeared from the crack.
"Are you okay …"
Eight-cloud Ink hugged Kanon's soft and slender waist and asked.
"I'm, I'm fine …"
The silver-haired girl replied softly and unconsciously rubbed her body against Eight-cloud Ink's chest.
"Yaka-sensei!" Yukina was pleasantly surprised to see Eight Cloud Ink. Without the Snow Haze Wolf by her side, her power had dropped by a few levels. It was too difficult for her to fight this alchemist alone.
"Yukina? Are you okay? "
"Don't worry, sensei!"
"That's good."
Eight-cloud Ink gently landed on the deck and handed Kanon over to Yukina. Then, he looked at Mercury Amatsuka.
"Mr. Monster, why do you have to stop me again and again? Isn't it a great thing to witness the birth of the Great Sage? "
"You still don't remember?"
Behind Eight-cloud Ink, Kanon suddenly asked Mercury Amatsuka.
Because of Eight-cloud Ink's appearance, Kanon seemed to have regained her composure. Her voice was no longer trembling.
"What?"
"I still remember when you and everyone in the monastery were killed by you."
Kanon instinctively went to Yakumo's side to seek comfort when she recalled the situation at the time.
"What a pitiful person. Haven't you realized that you've been deceived?"
"So what are you talking about?!"
Mercury Amatsuka roared at Kanon. Maybe he didn't understand, or maybe he understood but didn't want to believe it. His eyes were fierce, but there was a trace of undetectable fear in them.
Kanon rubbed her head against Eight-cloud Ink's arm and looked at Mercury Amatsuka with her blue eyes. She continued in a flat tone, "What do you want to do after resurrecting the Great Sage?"
"Do you even need to ask?! Of course I want to become a human again! I want him to return the other half of my body that was devoured! "
Speaking of becoming a human again, Mercury Amagi's eyes were filled with fanaticism.
"Then, please tell me, who are you? When was he born? How did you survive until now? "
Finally, Kanon asked.
Looking at the silver-haired girl, Eight-cloud Ink smiled.
On the other side, Mercury Takeshi first sneered disdainfully.
"Ahahaha … Isn't that obvious? I thought you were going to say something. I'm — "
Then, as if there was a sudden pause, the Mercury of Ambergris froze.
Touching his chest, Mercury lowered his head and widened his blood-red eyes, trying to recall something.
[Anything is fine … Anything is fine … Hurry up and remember …]
Kanon spoke up again.
"The Sage will not revive you, and the reason is …"
"Shut up …"
"… The reason is that you were never a human! You're just an artificial lifeform created by the Wise Ones. You've been blinded by your desire to become human! "
"I told you to shut up!!!"
With a twisted face, Mercury Ambergris screamed and charged at Kanon. His right arm twisted and turned into a sharp steel sword.
He waved his arm, and the steel sword drew a silver arc, whistling through the air towards Kanon's head.
Standing beside Eight-cloud Ink, Kanon calmly looked at the incoming Mercury Ambergris. There was no fear in her eyes. The silver-haired girl believed that —
"Ding!!!"
The seemingly fragile folding fan blocked the steel sword's path.
"Puff!"
The moment he blocked the steel blade, Yakumo Mo raised his leg and kicked Amatero Mercury in the chest. The powerful force sent his body flying backward and crashing into the metal lifeform. Then, he fell into the sea together with the metal lifeform.
[I believe that as long as I stand beside you, I won't be hurt.]
Sniffing the faint scent of lilies, Kanon felt a sense of peace and joy.
"Okay, Kanon, go stay with Ji Zhuo. I'll deal with this guy first."
Eight-cloud Ink touched Kanon's head and said in a low voice.
"Okay."
With a seductive blush, Kanon obediently returned to Ji Zhuo Yukina's side.
⑧
A layer of disgusting metallic liquid began to float on the surface of the clear blue sea water.
The metallic liquid floated on the surface and twisted into Mercury Ambergris' body.
"Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not impossible to deal with you …"
With a gloomy face, Mercury Ambergris' voice was no longer as violent and crazy as before. Instead, it was extremely cold.
Unknowingly, a golden skull had appeared in his hand.
"Ka … ka ka … ka ka ka ka ka …"
The golden skull vibrated and began to make a strange sound that sounded like laughter.
"Huh?"
Eight-cloud Ink stepped lightly and flew into the sky again.
"That thing … is the Sage?"
"Ka ka ka ka … Incomplete existences, it's too late."
The skull with its own consciousness spoke clearly.
It was the kind of voice that echoed in Eight-cloud Ink's mind.
"Don't talk in other people's minds! You bastard! "
Petals appeared in an instant and drowned Mercury Ambergris and the golden skull in his hand.
At the same time, the skull's mouth also emitted a flash. The flash and the barrage intertwined, and the impact of the huge explosion even distorted the cruise ship.
The atmosphere shook, and a deep hole was created in the sea. Then the surrounding sea water poured in and formed a terrifying whirlpool.
After noticing that the ship didn't suffer much damage, Eight-cloud Ink pointed at the cruise ship.
As if it received a push, the cruise ship began to quickly move away from the area.
"Brother Yakumo! Be careful! "
Standing on the deck, Kanon yelled at Eight-cloud Ink.
"Too late! Too late!! "
The Sage once again made an unpleasant sound.
"Ka ka ka ka ka — O world, become a part of me."
A huge lump of "Sage's Spiritual Blood" floated out of the sea.
It swallowed the golden skull in Mercury Ambergris's hand and finally obtained a complete human form.
It became a six-meter-tall giant.
"I see. The real reason for attacking this ship is the sea …"
Eight-cloud Ink stared at the giant figure and snorted as he sensed the trace of metal being absorbed from the sea.
"After such a long time, how much can you grow …"
Since the start of the voyage on Itogami Island, he must have collected a considerable amount of precious metals from the bottom of the ship. At the very least, it should be more than enough for the Wise One to fully resurrect.
In a few breaths, the Sage's body had grown to a height of more than ten meters.
Although it looked like a human, it had no eyes or ears.
Its body was covered by smooth curves, like a sketch model in an art studio. Coupled with the silhouette formed by the golden ratio, it made people feel that it was especially beautiful.
However, in Eight-cloud Ink's eyes, this nondescript thing was extremely disgusting.
The golden light was like a flame burning in the Sage's skeleton-like mouth.
"Ka … Ka ka … Ka ka ka … Stupid … You want to resist? You're not a complete being."
The radiance of charged particles was released from the Sage's mouth.
Pillow Stone Flow.
Eight-cloud Ink raised his hand, and the black gap in front of him absorbed the particle light from the Sage.
Pillow Stone Flow.
Then, the white gap opened, and the absorbed light particles turned into a ball of energy that smashed into the Sage's body.
"Boom!!"
Before the smoke and dust from the explosion dispersed, several more light beams shot at Eight-cloud Ink.
The gap suddenly opened and swallowed Eight-cloud Ink's body, and then he appeared behind the Sage.
Eight-cloud Ink opened his folding fan and waved it at the Sage's back.
The sea churned, and a column of water rose to the sky and swallowed the Sage's body. Then, it condensed into a beautiful ice crystal lily.
Sage's intermittent voice came from the Ice Lily.
"It's … useless … I'm perfect …"
"Hmph!"
Eight-cloud Ink pointed the folding fan at the Sage with his right hand, and tapped the fan with his left hand.
"Perfect? In my opinion, it's just a defective product. "
"Light, and the net of darkness."
All of a sudden, the crisscrossing beams of light that filled the sky formed countless geometrical shapes, dividing the sky and the sea.
The ice crystal lily, together with the self-proclaimed perfect Sage, turned into pieces and fell into the sea.
