Chapter 195 A Born Hero
As dusk settled, the night was dark, devoid of moonlight and starlight; all that could be seen was darkness, and all that could be heard was the chirping of insects.
Because all the monsters around had been driven away by the ant colony, the forests and mountains were exceptionally quiet, which was perfect for the little creatures who just wanted to stay in their nests and sleep.
The underground sea clouds have lost all light and have become indistinguishable between day and night. If they don't reclaim the sea clouds one night, they will never have peace.
The rescue team responsible for transporting supplies arrived at the underground sea cloud today, bringing them the hope of survival and news from the outside world.
The Mage Guild distributed relief supplies to refugees in the makeshift shelter, with long queues forming everywhere – a rare sight of order in this distressed place.
Looking at the distressed faces of the people in the open space below, Haruki couldn't bear to watch any longer. They were all suffering because of his lack of strength, and the thought made Haruki's mind even more chaotic.
“We should go now, Yaohui. Yixuan said he has something to tell us, and we should go see him as agreed.”
A-Jiu walked to Haruki's side with the legendary magic book in her arms. She too could not bear to look at the scene before her, but Grandi's strength and warnings kept piercing A-Jiu's heart, and she could not find a way to resist.
"It's probably because of the Light Magic Stone. After all, it's basically been determined that Yixuan has lost the ability to transform, which would be hard for anyone to accept."
Yao Hui stood up and joined the group, sharing his guesses about Yi Xuan's thoughts. After hearing Yao Hui's words, Sean and Zhao Yu felt uneasy, as the suffering Yi Xuan had encountered could also happen to them.
"So what should we do? Should we comfort Yixuan, or should we remain silent as much as possible?"
"I don't know. We'll just have to see how Yixuan reacts. After all, he's the biggest victim of the Light Magic Stone."
Zhao Yu was undecided; she didn't know how to help Yi Xuan. Yao Hui was also hesitant because he knew he didn't have the power to change the current situation.
Pushing open the door, I entered the house, which had been temporarily converted from an underground ruin. The lights were on, and I was making some movements on a wooden board in the corner.
"Yixuan, are you alright?"
Yao Hui was a little scared; he wasn't sure if the other person would lose control of their emotions.
"Yauki, you've finally arrived. Take a look at the monster data I just compiled."
Yixuan was very cheerful, and the first thing he did upon meeting everyone was to show off the results of his research.
The suspended wooden board revealed its true contents under the light. Red King's portrait was in the center, surrounded by combat data and characteristic analysis related to Red King. Yixuan had considerable confidence in his research.
"I've analyzed it. Red King's strength and speed are indeed top-tier, but its defense against light-based attacks isn't very high. Also, because of its flamboyant personality, Red King is easily provoked. If conditions permit, we can set a trap to immobilize its limbs, and then your attacks can converge."
"I've seen the guild's statistics on the Giant Ant Queen. Her massive area-of-effect attacks mainly rely on the ant swarm's power. If we only consider the Giant Ant Queen, she's just a normal carnivorous monster. To deal with her, you need to minimize her connections with other ant beasts. Her true strength is inferior to the Giant of Light."
"And also, those otherworldly monsters stationed around Haiyun, I've been keeping an eye on them for a long time..."
Yixuan's enthusiasm for combat data exceeded everyone's expectations. Originally, everyone thought that Yixuan would become depressed because of the Light Magic Stone, but that was not the case at all. Even without the Light Magic Stone, Yixuan was still full of energy.
"Oh, by the way, not only monsters, but also the combat data of the Giant of Light has been analyzed. In addition, I received data sharing from the Tsuchiya and Wolf State Guilds today. With this, I can better understand your combat capabilities."
“Other guilds share my view that the abilities of the Lightstone Warriors have not been fully developed, and you still have a lot of potential, Sean and Zhaoyu. Mr. Li from the guild told me about you before. The theoretical work has been completed, and now it’s time for training and practice.”
With a push of the wooden board, a magic book rose from the table, containing combat data shared by Mr. Li. The data, researched by guild professionals, was exquisite, and Yixuan felt it was far more brilliant than anything he could write himself.
"My goodness, this is incredibly detailed! It's practically a skill list for the Giant of Light. Is Mr. Li really that powerful?"
"Huh? So Haruki's Beta Impact has this skill? I never knew that."
Sean and Zhaoyu were mesmerized by the battle data compiled by the guild. For them, who had only recently become heroes, everything in it was new and fascinating.
"Wow, did you make all of this for us?"
"I guess so, after all, we're partners, aren't we? Although I can't fight alongside you, my desire to win for everyone is no less than any of yours."
Yixuan responded to Yaohui's surprise with a smile. He had been saddened by the matter of the Light Magic Stone, but Yixuan knew how to let go of it and how to use his power to help everyone.
Yao Hui was a little stunned. He really didn't expect Yi Xuan's willpower to be so strong. No matter what happened in the outside world, he could maintain an optimistic and positive attitude. Yao Hui really admired him.
"It's so wonderful to have a partner like this, Haruki. I'm so touched!"
"Yes, Zeta, that's wonderful."
No matter how the external environment changes, there will always be brave people who will fight against despair. Yaohui, who has always been focused on strength, has been forgetting this simple truth lately.
"Honey, aren't you done yet? You need to eat your food now, okay?"
"Huh? Why are there so many people!"
"Oh, it's the brave warriors. I'm sorry, I thought Yixuan was the only one here."
The woman who entered at that moment was wearing a rescue organization uniform, but her intimate tone just now made her seem like she was in a work situation.
It wasn't until Hu Zimiao saw everyone that he realized how embarrassing he had just said, and despite being an adult, he couldn't help but blush.
"Excuse me, everyone, Zimiao was unaware that I had prior arrangements with you all. I apologize for disturbing you."
"It's getting late, let's go eat and warm up first, then we can talk about work."
Yixuan walked over to Zimiao and offered her some comfort. Zimiao lowered her head and obediently listened to Yixuan's instructions.
The sudden turn of events brought smiles to everyone's faces. This little episode was an unexpected surprise, and seeing the two couples getting along so well warmed everyone's hearts.
"Zimiao? Isn't she the one Yixuan mentioned before..."
Thinking of this, Ajiu's face began to turn red. The male and female protagonists of the dreamlike scene she had heard about were standing in front of her, and Ajiu couldn't help but feel restless and her heart was pounding.
"Shh! Ah Jiu, talking about this kind of thing will only make things more exciting."
Zhao Yu rarely showed a mischievous smile when talking to A Jiu, and the secret fun between girls was shared at this moment.
After putting down their documents and leaving the house, they joined the others under Zi Miao's guidance. For the time being, everyone put aside their heavy hearts and immersed themselves in the joyful atmosphere brought by Yi Xuan and Zi Miao.
Once underground, Yaohui could see clearly how kindly the rescuers were helping the people in distress. They came from all over the country and worked tirelessly for the same purpose: to help them.
"Sister Zimiao, how did you and Brother Yixuan meet? Can you tell me?"
"Um... I'm a little embarrassed. Does the Heroine enjoy this kind of topic?"
"Just call me Zhaoyu, sister. I'm just a woman with a bit of a curiosity right now. What do you find most attractive about Yixuan?"
"Just call me Ajiu, Sister Zimiao. What exactly do you like about Brother Yixuan?"
Zi Miao hesitated, but eventually, she couldn't resist Zhao Yu and A Jiu circling around her. After calming down and thinking about it, she realized that the question was actually not difficult to answer.
"A born hero, I've always thought so, and Yixuan is a born hero."
