Chapter 19: Fetters

In the bitterly cold dark blue world, Aisha's skin could no longer feel anything. Except for the cold current in her body, everything around her was quiet, and the beating sound of her heart reverberated in her ears and body.
(It's so quiet...Although I still vaguely feel the cold, but it has gradually weakened a lot. Isn't it... Am I going to die?) The mood of Aisha now seems very calm, she is clearly the client but now It feels like looking at others and become indifferent.
Weakly breathe the air on the surface of the water with the help of the hollow rod, but the frequency and intensity have gradually become smaller and sparser. Now Aisha is like a sleeping beauty frozen under the water with her eyes closed slightly. With the soft color, the long hair also floats freely in the pool with the fluctuation of the water, looking very soft.
Until she was taken out of the pool, the warmth of a long-lost reunion gradually made her feel alive, and a familiar voice sparsely appeared in her ears, and his tone was warm even if he was anxious. The torch of the human heart made Asia feel at ease.
"Aisha! Aisha! Aisha!!!" Outside of Aisha's consciousness, Yun had already handed over the task and came to this stone room, removing the white and purple Aisha that had been almost frozen from the cold. It was fished out from the cold pool. Poor Aisha's body was as cold as the meat taken out of the freezer in the refrigerator, making it impossible to touch for a long time. Looking at her almost frostbite, Yun's heart was very cold. Sad, I didn't expect this little man to be treated so cruelly in order to keep the team going.
Yun held the frozen Aisha. Although the position where he touched Aisha's body had caused frostbite without feeling, he still couldn't stop Yun from holding her tightly in his arms. Yun's arms and arms were also already She was white and purple, but she still lowered her head and pressed Aisha Lou's tighter to let her body temperature resolve this poor girl. There were tears in the corners of his eyes, and it was the first time that she felt sad after that incident. A girl who had known herself for a few days experienced a feeling of death for herself and her team. How lonely, Fear and uncomfortable, but in order to succeed, she had to persevere because she believed in herself and other companions.
"It's okay! Aisha! It's okay! I'm by your side! I will always be by your side!" Yunneng felt Aisha's gradual breathing, which also proved that her vital signs had begun to return to normal.
Yun picked up Aisha and walked out of the stone room to Kirito's room. As soon as he entered, he saw Kirito's back, and his body was undulating irregularly. It seemed something was not right. Yun held Aisha tightly. He walked quickly to the side of Kirito, and when he officially saw the front of Kirito, Yun couldn't help but feel tight in his heart, and the tears in his eyes became more violent.
"Haha~Ahaha! Did you succeed...? Yun!" Kirito panted and asked Yun beside him in a weak voice.
"Ah! It succeeded! I'll take you out with you! Kirito!" Yun replied with a heavy choke.
"Really? Then...behind...please! I feel...a bit tired...!" Kirito smiled and leaned directly on Yun.
Yun continued to look at the scene in front of him, a stone knife stained with blood and some coagulated blood was still held tightly by Kirito, while the other hand has been horizontally above the corridor, but there are still countless pieces on the wrist. The huge wound pierced by the stone knife was obviously added again when the blood was running out. The palm that had been bleeding was already pale and purple, which indicated that it was in an anemic state and entered the compensation period. It may become the possibility of necrosis.
Seeing this, Yun's heart is now very painful. He can roughly imagine the scene at that time. In order to keep the blood flowing out of the tunnel, every time when the blood crust is about to be solidified, Kirito has to endure the pain and grit his teeth again. To his wound, and with the loss of a large amount of blood, he will become cyanotic. He will constantly use medicine to quench his thirst and restore his hp. His heartbeat will naturally speed up with the bleeding problem and his desire for oxygen is also Becoming more short of breath, you have to endure pain; you have to keep your mind sober; you have to continue the work of bleeding; you have to endure the torture of physical stress. The whole process is a living suffering.
Yun bit her lower lip uncomfortably, holding Kirito and Aisha, who had fainted after their wounds were crusted, and she hugged them in her arms at the same time, and shouted in pain to the room, hoping to vent in this way Self-blame and resentment in my heart!
(If I can go faster! If I finish the mission as soon as this minute! They will suffer less sin!) Tears like raindrops fell on the faces of Kirito and Aisha who had begun to restore peace. And they showed a sweet smile in the coma at the same time.
(So ​​warm! This drop of liquid! It is warming my mind and body!) After taking a shower of Yun's tears, Kirito Aisha rubbed his magnanimity in Yun's arms like a coquettish kitten with the help of dreams His chest, and this action also pulled Yun from self-blame back to reality. He looked down at the two children who seemed to sleep in their mother's arms.
Yun couldn't help wiping away the tears, and hugged the two under her armpits with her powerful arms. Although this posture made the two of them uncomfortable, Yun moved quickly, and he quickly walked back to the dragon to sleep. At the place where they were placed, they carefully placed them on their lap pillows and looked at their calmness before sighing with relief.
At this time, the skeletal general in the other stone room also slowly walked out of it. It looked at the situation of the three of them, and chose to sit beside Yun and waited quietly without saying anything.
I don’t know how long it took, Aisha and Kirito, who felt contented to sleep, gradually woke up, but the warmth from their necks still made them a little memento. They didn’t want to end this beautiful feeling. They watched them closing their eyes but still With some dishonesty, Yun already knew that the two had fully recovered. He sighed and decided to break this beautiful atmosphere first.
"Is it better? Aisha! Kirito!" His tone was soft and soft, full of tenderness like a mother caring for her child.
Hearing this sound that can melt the body and mind, the two of them opened their eyes a little embarrassedly, blinked their big eyes and stared at them, lowered their heads and looked at their own clouds with doting and tender eyes. For a time, the faces of both of them were at the same time. Blushing appeared.
"Yeah!" The two responded softly to Yun like a girl in love.
"That's good! It's okay! Those things are over!" Yun stretched out his two big hands and stroked their little heads with love. Now Yun is like the father of the two, encouraging and comforting their hearts. The two slowly stood up and leaned quietly in Yun’s arms, like two unweaned children. I feel the same care that a stranger who should have known less than a few days treats his family.
Originally this atmosphere was very beautiful, but there will always be people or things that would like to destroy these beautiful things. At this time, the giant dragon around me regained its vitality uninterestingly, and the huge shock had to bring the three people back to reality. Among them, they turned to stare at the culprit who gave them this task.
"Ha~Haha! Your expressions are very good! This is a qualified adventurer! As agreed! You have obtained the map of the entire water ruins and the right to permanent passage!" The dragon looked at this cloud of theirs The connection is satisfied because the task becomes closer again.
As the giant dragon announced its completion, Yun's system prompts had also updated the map of the entire water ruins labyrinth, and the door behind the giant dragon slowly opened. Many halos began to appear on the dragon's body, and its body began to fade away.
"Is this?" Yun watched that the dragon's HP bar disappeared, now it has become a normal NPC, and it has begun to disappear in a real sense.
"It may have completed the task! So the system determined that it was no longer needed, and began to erase its existence and data!" Kirito looked at this situation with a sad expression, after all, he felt that the dragon had its own consciousness. Existence is no different from human beings, but it can only accept the result of disappearance if it has no meaning.
"How could this be?" Aisha looked a little surprised at the dragon who accepted her own existence and disappeared.
"Don't worry about me! Children! My mission is completed. I am very happy to meet a kind adventurer like you before I am about to disappear! You don't have to feel sorry for me, every time in this Aincrad An NPC has its own mission! And I have completed the mission of my own existence! You should be happy for us! By the way! Evil! Although I don’t know what your mission is! But I hope you don’t Let these children down!" His expression was harmonious and content when the dragon finally disappeared.
"..." The General Skeleton looked at the dragon, who belonged to the same NPC, and disappeared in front of his eyes as polygon fragments, but his hollow eyes did not allow Yun and Ji to see what he was suffering in this scene. What kind of inspiration. He just thought for a while and then turned his head and waved to the three Yun.
"Let's go! Our king should be impatient to wait!" The tone was calm as if nothing happened, urging the three people to continue to complete the commission of the bone king. The three people looked at each other and agreed with each other. General Skeleton walked into the third floor.
Although there will always be some amphibious wild monsters to harass Yun and the people along the way, but under the ruthless sickle, they happily become the dead souls of polygonal fragments, and they come to the lowest level of the fourth floor of "Water God Remains". "It seems that this place is where the mission goal of the Yunjiren is. Since they have the permanent right of passage, the doors and institutions here are open as if they were in vain. The doors are open to welcome the arrival of the few people. The journey is unimpeded except for some uninteresting Creeps.
However, several people have been walking around the lowest level for countless times without encountering the saber mentioned by the King Skeleton. They felt that this place did not exist from the beginning, which made Yun and the people start to have doubts! Forced them to stop in a corridor, turned around and began to question the General Skeleton seriously.
"General Skeleton! Is this mission really right?" Yun hugged his arms around his chest and looked at the calm General Skeleton.
"Right! Otherwise, it won't be a form of commission for several people to accept!" The Skeleton General answered Yun's question without hesitation.
Just as Yun was about to say something, Kirito patted his shoulder behind him, Yun looked at Kirito behind him and shook his head slightly, and walked in front of Yun.
"Then I can understand that this strange long sword is just the name, but in fact it is not necessarily a sword!" Kirito has been considering this possibility, because although it has been emphasized as a sword before, But it is possible that its form is no longer a sword.
"..." The Skeleton General was silent, and the Skeleton General who had been answering like a stream before actually chose to be silent after Kirito's inference. Kirito smiled, this behavior has already assumed that this strange long sword may indeed be a sword at the beginning, but after what kind of baptism it may no longer look like a sword, so Kirito has been here before. Some interesting things observed in the maze began to appear in his mind.
"Let's do it! Let me take you to some places that I have been paying attention to before! Maybe what we are looking for should be hidden inside!" Kirito has already thought of the location of those places in his mind. He turned around and said to Yun and Aisha behind him. The two believed that Kirito's inference was the same and nodded in agreement, and the General Skeleton just followed them silently, without saying a word!
First, a few people came to the small room beside the door where they first entered this floor. There was only a strange sculpture inside. Kirito first came to the sculpture and clicked on its introduction column.
"Sculpture of Something" a sculpture of a certain person or thing! It looks like some years! But it seems to be of any use!
Although Aisha and Yun shook their heads after seeing this narration, Kirito disapprovingly put the sculpture in the inventory, beckoned to several people and led them to the next location.
This time it was a corner of the wall not far from where the sculpture was found. There was a strange-shaped object like a candlestick. Several people watched Kirito point out the message of that object again.
"Strange Candlestick" is a strangely shaped candlestick, but it seems to have some special use.
Seeing almost the same thing, Yun and Aisha still shook their heads, while Kirito continued to put the candlestick in the inventory, Yun and Aisha watched Kirito's actions with some puzzled eyes. And Kirito didn’t care to take the few people to the next place. There was nothing but a strange stone table and two black slots on the tabletop. Yun and Aisha looked a little mysterious with wonder. Xi's Kirito.
He smiled and looked at the somewhat confused Aisha and Yun, and slowly revealed the candlestick and statue he had just obtained in his hands, and put them into the two black slots without hesitation, but it didn't seem to be What happened, the two of them looked at Kirito who was not disappointed about it. He took out the previous flint and lit the candlestick. When this action was completed, the entire lowermost ruins began to appear. There was a certain degree of tremor...
