Laura's Beautiful Journey

"Merciful O Shutu, please listen to the plea of ​​your devout believers and grant me the blade to cut off the dark contract!"

As Ororo finished speaking, a thunder suddenly fell from the cloudless sky and condensed into a long sword emitting electric light in front of everyone.

A black ball instantly appeared between Logan and Ophelia, and a square space was formed around it, surrounding the two of them.

"Katie! It's your turn!"

Hearing Ororo's shout, Katie grabbed the light blade, activated the virtualization ability, passed through the barrier, and rushed to the black ball with a thrust.

With a "click" sound, several cracks appeared on the surface of the ball, and then there was a distortion in mid-air. A red-black portal appeared out of thin air in front of several people, and hundreds of tentacles rushed out of it.

"Gan, I knew there would be these idiots!"

While Laura was cursing, a heat vision shot out, flashing with a hint of golden red light. The hundreds of tentacles were instantly evaporated, but more tentacles were emerging from the portal.

In order to protect the ground, Laura flew into the air and began a fierce battle with the shadow of Sithorn.

The backup energy and firepower modules had extremely limited damage, but the body energy that had absorbed the Phoenix Force gave them a slight upper hand.

Now that she has been strengthened many times, it can be said that her energy limit has doubled compared to the first time she faced Sithorn in Japan. However, when facing the ancient demon god - even his clone, there is still a big gap.

More than ten minutes later, Laura was forced from high altitude back to a place only three or four meters above the ground.

Seeing how hard it was for her to persist, Katie was extremely anxious. The power and frequency of chopping the ball quickly increased to her own limit.

"In the name of Ao Shutu, break the darkness!"

Ororo shouted again, draining all her magic power and pouring it into the light blade.

Katie held the radiant sword and used all her strength to slash at the cracked black ball.

"Click"

The ball finally shattered under this blow.

The portal began to become unstable, and Laura became energetic. She mobilized all the energy in her body to launch a directed red lotus burst.

The energy of the phoenix shadow rolled back up, swallowing up all the black tentacles along the way.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the portal in the sky gradually shrink until it disappeared.

Ororo had already collapsed on the ground, Katie's hands were shaking due to excessive exertion, and there was only a trace of energy left in Laura's body. If there was no backup energy to support the armor, she would have crashed long ago.

"Clap"

Several people turned around and saw that there was a crack in the sacred source in the hand of the pale Jacob.

At this time, the blue tie connecting Ophelia and the other three people had disappeared, leaving only the thinnest connection to Jacob.

Seeing that the cracks in the sacred source began to spread in all directions, Laura hurriedly fell in front of Jacob.

Without caring about covering up, she grabbed several tubes of potion from the void and stabbed it into his arm.

Jacob's face became paler and paler, but his face was exceptionally calm. He smiled and said:

"Laura, stop working."

Laura pursed her lips, took out another tube of red medicine and injected it into his body. It was the latest terminal virus reagent.

However, Jacob's skin began to crack and gradually dissipated into the air.

"Huh? It's quite warm and comfortable after this injection~"

Laura was at her wits end, she said angrily:

"At this time, are you still in the mood to joke?"

Jacob smiled when he heard this, and stretched out his right hand to hold Laura’s shoulder.

"It's ok, it's not a big deal. I have lived long enough in this life. One minute more and one second less will not make much difference."

Oloro and Katie also staggered up to them at this time. The little phantom cat had already cried into a little cat.

They bowed to Jacob, and then Ororo said:

"Thank you very much for your help. Is there anything we can do for you?"

Jacob nodded slightly to the two of them and said:

"You're welcome, I'm very happy to be able to help you. I hope you can help the rest of my clan live in peace."

Ororo nodded and said:

"I understand, please rest assured."

At this time, Jacob's limbs had weathered and disappeared. He used his last bit of strength to look at Laura aside and said in a joking tone:

"Laura, remember to try the potatoes we grow and the wine we brew. Those are my favorite food and wine in my long life!"

After speaking, this prophet who once had lofty ideals finally turned into a trace of dust in the snowy land of Siberia.

The remaining three people were silent for a long time before they started to take action again.

Laura and Ororo gathered together the dust that Jacob had turned into with their hands, and put it into the clay pot that Katie ran back to the Blackbird.

After cleaning up, Laura and others returned to the village in a fighter plane.

After learning the sad news of her father's death, Sophia took the clay pot and cried very sadly.

That night, a large-scale memorial ceremony was held in the village. Villagers rushed to the scene and wrote their remembrances of the leader on several long pieces of paper.

Next, with the help of Katie, Laura made a huge sky lantern using the papers filled with words. After lighting it, it flew smoothly into the night sky under the breeze controlled by Ororo, and gradually floated into the distance.

As the new leader, Sophia was busy with the sacrificial activities tonight, and then she negotiated with Ororo about the village's follow-up plans and arrangements.

But after finally finishing her work, she calmed down and felt empty. She didn't want to go home and walked aimlessly on the road. Unknowingly, she had reached the entrance of the village and saw an acquaintance.

Laura heard the footsteps, turned around and saw Sophia, so she shook the wine bottle in her hand and said:

"Huh? You haven't slept either. Would you like to come and have a drink?"

Sophia took the wine bottle, took a swig, and then choked and coughed.

"Ahem, cough, cough, where did this wine come from? It's too strong!"

"Jacob got it from under the house. I think the strength is just right."

Looking up again and taking a sip of wine, Laura smacked her lips and handed one of the two potatoes on her left hand to one.

"Croft's secret baked potatoes, try them, be careful they're hot."

Sophia took the fragrant potato and rolled it back and forth between her hands. When it was ready, she peeled off the skin and put it in her mouth.

"Well, it's quite delicious. I didn't expect you to be good at baking potatoes."

Laura held the steaming potatoes, rubbed her hands together to remove the skin, and then put it into her mouth to take a big bite.

"Ha! These are the best potatoes I've ever eaten in my life!"
