Etalia is built on the second type of elements. Because the glow material resembles shining starlight, people also affectionately call it 'star glow'.

To be precise, this is an ocean filled with stars. Countless second-type elements fill the entire world, containing vast high-dimensional information like a sea of ​​smoke.

Everything here is composed of starlight (the second type of element), including life itself - even it is equal to life. Because death only represents the loss of starlight in the body of life, not the death itself. With the help of several gods

Power - such as Mirela, the god of medicine, Ori, the light of justice, Aisha, the pure girl, and Roman, the lucky one. In this world, people have gained the ability to be reborn many times.

And until the starlight in the body is completely extinguished, the life form will return to its essence, truly die and re-assimilate with the world. The indigenous people of Aitaria seem to have understood this process for a long time. They view it from a philosophical perspective and will

It is called 'the destination of all things'.

For those who are chosen, the process is almost the same, but the ending is slightly different. Human beings obtain starlight by synchronizing with the glowing material. The amount of starlight in the body is equivalent to the degree of synchronization with the world. When it completely returns to zero

The chosen one will be rejected by the star sea of ​​Etalia, return to the physical form and lose the chance to enter again.

In addition, since the Etaliya Star Gate itself is also constructed of eternal radiance matter, even stowaways like Fang Plover can still obtain a small amount of star radiance. It is about half or less than a normal selector.

However, for the chosen ones, Aitaria has an absolute taboo.

That is, the dead zone——

Since the Dead Zone directly rejects glowing matter, the chosen ones who die here will not be able to communicate with the starlight in their bodies, and will be directly excluded from the world by the star sea of ​​Etalia.

Fang Yu never dreamed that he would encounter such a scene on his first mission. He finally came to this dream world, and before he really started his adventure, was he about to leave forever?

His mind was a little confused for a moment, and the words were stuck in his throat. He could only faintly hear someone calling his name. The voice seemed to be coming from the horizon, and it was a little anxious.

"Ed!"

"Ed!?"

Fang Yu suddenly reacted and realized that it was Scarpe's voice. He seemed to find himself all of a sudden and shouted: "Miss Scarpe, this is -"

What he responded to was an exclamation.

"careful!"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and raised his head subconsciously.

At some point, a black shadow appeared above the mound, and it jumped down. The huge force directly threw him to the ground. He heard a deep roar mixed with a guttural sound, and a smelly smell hit his face.

He saw clearly a huge mouth full of snow-white fangs, and a red pointed tongue raised from the lower jaw, biting at him with saliva stretched into threads.

Giant wolf - Fang Plover's heart almost stopped. There are two subspecies of this creature. The forest giant lives in the giant tree hills of Nulinnari; the wasteland giant lives in the ancient wilderness of Lotao.

This is a giant forest wolf. Its silver mane and huge body are its iconic features. It should not appear here. Fang Plover desperately stretched out his hand to hold the chin of the giant wolf, which had some effect.

But his hands were also cut open several times by sharp teeth and claws, and they were dripping with blood.

A whistle came from the forest.

The giant wolf suddenly changed its strategy and bit him on the other side of the neck.

It was over, and Fang Yu felt despair in his heart. Only then did he understand why the giant forest wolf appeared here, because there were druids on the other side. When he thought that this was a dead zone, he didn't know where the bloody courage came from, and he punched him randomly.

He punched the giant wolf in the eye socket.

The giant wolf's fangs almost bit open his neck, and blood flowed profusely. At this critical moment, he raised his head in pain and swept him away with a claw.

Behind him was a section of ruins, covered with purple roses. Fang Plover jumped up into the air and hit it, almost losing his breath in pain. He finally managed to catch his breath, but saw the giant wolf shake its huge head, two

A burnt yellow eye glowed faintly in the darkness, and he looked in this direction again.

Fang Yu couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart. Even if he was intact and multiplied by ten, he might not be a match for this giant wolf, let alone now.

The beast's smooth silver hair was fully spread out, and it was majestic. It was almost a circle bigger in size. When it was on all fours, its arched back was nearly two meters high. It looked like a strong bull.

It bared its teeth, and a low growl echoed in its throat.

This is a precursor to an attack.

Fang Yu could only pick up a piece of flint and hold it in his hand. His unwillingness to admit defeat flowed in his blood. He didn't know why he would kill him without knowing why. A black shadow shot out from the bushes and hit the giant wolf with its head.

With a low roar, the beast flew away.

It was Quilod. Fang Plover was so surprised that he almost screamed. Quilod raised his sword with both hands and slashed down, but the giant wolf rolled back, causing him to cut into the thick fallen leaves.

"Little..." Fang Plover opened his mouth excitedly, trying to remind the other party that this was a dead zone, but there seemed to be a ball of rags in his throat, making him hoarse and unable to make any sound. He was so anxious that he kept humming. He vaguely watched

By the time Quelord fought with the giant wolf, he had the upper hand.

At this moment, a shadow slipped out of the darkness of the forest and stood not far behind Quilod. The man was wearing dirty fur clothes, tall and thin, with long greasy black hair, and gloomy eyes.

His eyes were sunken deeply, his cheeks were almost skinny, and he held a short sword in his hand, the blade was dark black without any luster.

It was a short sword made of strange ironwood. In Nulinnare, druids often used this material to make weapons and armor. He appeared almost silently, and Querod was not aware of it. Fang Yu saw

The anxiety in his heart reached the extreme, and he didn't know where the strength came from to make a sound from his throat. But at this moment, he felt a chill on his neck, a sharp knife was placed on his throat, and a hand covered his mouth.

, and dragged him backwards with all his strength.

Fang Plover could only make a low whining sound anxiously.

There was a faint smell lingering behind him, a bit like the smell of the wilderness in Kapka, where many lavenders grew widely, with a light fragrance. Fang Plover realized that the person restraining him was a woman, and the woman spoke with cold words.

The blade reminded him: "Don't move -"

Fang Yu suddenly grabbed the dagger with both hands and pulled it open with all his strength. The woman was startled. She didn't expect him to be so strong and she didn't react for a moment. There was blood dripping between his fingers, and there was almost a trace of flesh under his rolled skin.

Bones, when the other party's hand loosened slightly, he opened his mouth and bit her finger hard.

He almost used all his strength, but the woman screamed in pain and threw him away, "Are you a dog?" She yelled angrily. Fang Pliong opened his mouth bloody and shouted: "Be careful!

"Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the chest, flew several meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

Quelord was startled. When he turned around, the dirty man naturally came into his sight. The latter stabbed him with a short knife like lightning. Quelord blocked him with a backhand sword, and the swords clashed with each other.

There was a sharp tremor and a shower of sparks.

The druid wanted to attack again, but an arrow came from the side. His giant wolf companion reacted very quickly. He jumped up and grabbed the arrow in his mouth, and smashed it into pieces with his upper and lower jaws.

Scarpe walked out of the mist holding a long bow, followed by others - but there were only a few of them, and everyone was injured. Seeing the situation here, Scarpe rushed towards Fang Plover. But that

The woman reacted faster. She first grabbed Fang Plover's hair and pressed the cold dagger to his neck.

"Is this your only alchemist?"

Scarpe stopped walking. "I suggest you run away quickly." She said to the woman seriously.

The woman was about to say something when suddenly the ground shook slightly.

There was a water-filled pothole not far away from Fang Plover. He could see clearly that ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the mirror-flat water.

The druid was also stunned for a moment. He comforted his giant wolf with one hand and looked back into the forest.

Fang Yu saw this opportunity and suddenly said something to the woman. He was so weak that his mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

"What?" The woman was slightly startled, lowered her head and glanced at him doubtfully. "I said be careful with your eyes -" Fang Pulver whispered, holding the five fingers of his right hand together and flipping it up like a swimming fish, the silver track on his glove clicked

It shook for a while. There was a soft buzzing sound from the pocket of her coat, and a golden light flew out, hitting her eyes directly.

The woman let out a low cry of pain and covered her eyes. Fang Yu didn't even think about breaking away from her and ran towards Scarpe. "Damn it!" The woman was almost furious. She covered her eyes with one hand and chased after her, trying to grab her.

He stayed on the back of Fang Plover's neck, but at this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.

As if experiencing an earthquake, both of them fell to the ground.

The Druid who was looking in the direction of the forest finally changed his expression, and he muttered something unknown; probably only the woman heard this clearly, and she raised her head with a pale face and asked: "How could that thing come here? Isn't this the case?"

Still outside the ruins?"

The Druid didn't say a word, he just said to her: "Run!"

With that said, he took his giant wolf with him and disappeared into the forest without looking back.

Before Fang Yu could react, he happened to see the woman getting up nervously and seemed to be planning to escape. But at this moment, the forest floor suddenly began to shake violently, and everyone lost their footing and fell to the ground.

.

"What happened?" Fang Yu couldn't help but asked in a hoarse voice.

"That thing is here." Scape helped him up and replied in a low voice with a pale face.

"That thing?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream.

That voice was made by the druid before——

Everyone subconsciously looked in that direction, and then they were shocked. A sharp whistle sounded from the forest in the distance, and a huge shadow was emerging in the diffuse fog.

Fang Yu didn't know how to describe what he saw. The first thing he heard was a deafening roar, the metal collided with each other, and the gears meshed with each other, making a loud creaking sound. Then there was the sharp exhaust sound and white streaks.

Smoke erupted from the giant surface and merged into the thick fog.

A construct 'giant beast' gradually separated from the mist and appeared in front of everyone.

Fang Plover felt that it might be a millipede - a behemoth made of countless gears, curled iron sheets and metal limbs. Under the steel frame, there were countless reciprocating pistons, roaring regularly, driving

Countless limbs paddled back and forth, like sharp metal blades, pushing it forward rapidly. The towering ancient trees were as fragile as toothpicks under its huge body, and the branches were broken by the impact.

A dense network of pipes extends to the back of this giant beast, where dense exhaust flues protrude from under the carapace, forming a ferocious and terrifying forest. Four pairs of compound eyes flashing red, like fog lights, penetrate

The diffuse forest mist fell on everyone present.
