Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

Lucas Reeve then looked at Ceobe, Rosmontis, Shamare, and Ifrit. Fortunately, they had no connection to him.... Phew.

Lucas Reeve let out a huge sigh of relief.

As for Surtr, who was nearby, he couldn’t see clearly. After she had fused with Laevatain to a certain extent, she was already close to being half a Divine Fragment. Lucas Reeve could no longer view her fate and causality in detail.

As for Nian, who was writing a script, Lucas Reeve couldn’t see her at all. In fact, when he looked at Nian, Nian even raised her head and smiled at Lucas Reeve. She must have sensed what Lucas Reeve had just tried to do. As for Nine-Colored Deer in the kitchen, she could sense it even more clearly. The moment Lucas Reeve looked at her, Nine-Colored Deer had already sensed it.

Nine-Colored Deer turned and smiled faintly at Lucas Reeve.

”Mr. Reeve, peeking at others’ secrets like this is impolite, you know. Even I rarely deliberately look at a person’s causality.”

”However, for Mr. Reeve to have recovered a portion of his ’Causality Inquiry’ ability.”

Causality?!!

Jessica and Franka were shaken.

”Big Sister Nine-Colored Deer? What does causality mean?”

”A kind of fate decided when a person is born. For example, romantic destiny. When a person is born, their romantic destiny is already decided.”

Nine-Colored Deer smiled faintly.

Jessica quickly pressed.

”Big Sister Nine-Colored Deer, what about my romantic destiny!!”

Jessica’s eyes were shining.

However.

Nine-Colored Deer said mysteriously.

”It cannot be said, it cannot be said. Matters of causality are deeply entangled.”

”However, I can give you a hint.”

”Cherish the present.”

Although what Nine-Colored Deer said was a bit cryptic, the riddle was very straightforward. Jessica understood it in an instant. The look in her eyes as she looked at Lucas Reeve was extremely excited. Was this... an official stamp of approval?

”Miss Nine-Colored Deer, why can you see me?”

Lucas Reeve asked Nine-Colored Deer.

”Because... I am temporarily a tiny bit stronger than you... Another reason is that you are only a soul fragment here, so I can see clearly. If your main body from the statue came over, even I wouldn’t be able to see clearly.”

Lucas Reeve really couldn’t stand Jessica’s scorching gaze and chose to return to Skadi. He decisively chose to follow Nine-Colored Deer’s words. He wouldn’t use this ability in the future unless absolutely necessary. The mortal world has its own causality, and knowing it too early brings no benefits.

On this rugged wilderness outside the city.

Skadi’s advancing speed even surpassed that of a Land-runner.

The closer she got to the depths of Iberia, the more she could feel a very peculiar power spreading. The ground gradually became damp. Even though it hadn’t rained recently, the soil on the ground was black as if it was decaying. This was all irreversible damage caused by the past Great Silence. And the coastal cities that had suffered the frontal assault of the Great Silence were sealed off by the Iberian army. Line after line of blockades cut off the hope and livelihood of the people in the coastal cities.

Skadi found a way to cross the army’s blockade, following Lucas Reeve’s guidance as she walked on the wilderness covered with coral.

Finally.

The sky gradually began to brighten.

Skadi had been running for a long time, from dusk until dawn. She finally reached the city Lucas Reeve had pointed to.

”This is it.”

Since they were about to enter the city, Lucas Reeve didn’t emerge from Skadi’s body, but rather observed the outside situation through shared vision from within Skadi.

”Mhm...”

Skadi nodded.

She walked into this city.

Originally, Lucas Reeve thought this city was a dead city. After all, it looked completely lifeless from the outside. However, only after Skadi stepped inside did she discover that there were quite a few people in this city. It was just that the vast majority of people had numb expressions, wandering the streets, all pale, hungry, and emaciated.

Suddenly!

The moment Skadi stepped into this city.

The deep-sea monsters lurking by the nearby seaside seemed to smell the aura of their kin. One by one, as if resurrected, they frenziedly attacked this city. Not only was it a physical attack, but Skadi’s surroundings also gradually sank into darkness, and countless horror fish crawled out from the darkness.
