Chapter 258: Eighty Sword Holder_2

But would things really turn out as she expected?

After returning to the Fifth Zone from Gerard’s, Ina saw so much, so much.

She saw people reveling, setting off gorgeous fireworks, and also saw a store ablaze across the street, with the owner crying out for someone to save his child.

She also saw people waiting on the platform for a gear train that was long overdue, and hundreds of meters away, two gear trains had collided, with a limited number of Bone Knights trying to find survivors among the wreckage.

Such fragmented, absurd scenes made Ina realize that the situation was rapidly becoming uncontrollable.

And the vast majority of people had no idea what was going to happen.

“A lot of people are going to die.”

Ina remembered the words Gerard had said to her.

She pursed her lips tightly.

On the way back, she had wanted to stop to help numerous times, wanted to help that store owner rescue his child, wanted to join the Bone Knights in searching for survivors.

But she knew she couldn’t do that, there was no time to waste.

Her father was also waiting for her.

She was returning now only to leave better equipped for the uncontrollable events of tomorrow, knowing she must have a set of fine equipment to protect her father and Ju.

That was the reason Ina had come back.

After packing up everything, Ina glanced at the armband on her arm that symbolized the Devil Knights, hesitated for a moment, then tore it off and clenched it in her fist before turning to leave.

However, as soon as she stepped out the door, she ran into Yuri, who was hurrying over.

“I heard you came back, Ina,” Yuri said, “That’s great, I need your help. I’ve got an order from the Bishop Weisen to arrest Oliver, but the team that was sent has lost contact, and I can’t leave, I need you to lead a team…”

He stopped mid-sentence.

Because Yuri saw the luggage Ina was holding.

He immediately understood everything.

“So that’s how it is…” His initially excited tone calmed down, “You’ve decided to leave, then?”

“Yes,” Ina did not deny.

“With your father?”

“Mm.”

“Where to?”

“Rhein or Holy Sound.”

“I see…” He nodded, then stretched out his hand to pat Ina’s shoulder, “Go to Rhein. I’ve been to both places, and Rhein is a bit behind, but it’s still better than Holy Sound.”

After speaking, Yuri was ready to leave.

Ina obviously hadn’t expected such a reaction from Yuri: “Aren’t you going to stop me?”

Yuri stopped, turned back to look at Ina.

“Gerard gave everything he had for Lyra,” he said softly, “All of us owe him, so I think it’s only right to leave him something.”

Ina opened her mouth to say something but ended up saying nothing.

At that moment, a Devil Knight came hurrying over, saying to Yuri, “Captain, the contamination from the Order Sword is still spreading; it can’t hold on much longer.”

Yuri nodded, then looked at Ina again, with a slight smile on his lips.

“Survive.”

Having said that, he left with the reporting knight.

Ina watched Yuri’s receding figure, somewhat dazed for a moment.

It was as if she had returned to that night ten years ago.

Her father and brother had also left like this.

Her hand clenched tightly.

Yuri put on his mask and hurried to the secret chamber where he had last seen Bishop Weisen.

Now the door of the chamber had been sealed shut, surrounded by fully armed Devil Knights. As they saw Yuri arrive, they quickly stepped back, making way for him.

“How’s the situation?” Yuri’s voice came muffled from behind the mask.

Actually, he didn’t need his subordinates to explain; he could already see it for himself.

The white fog that signified contamination was seeping through the cracks in the door.

Could it have worsened this much in less than a quarter of an hour since he left?

After receiving the answer that “the contamination is intensifying rapidly,” Yuri glanced at the knight guarding the door. The knight understood immediately and opened it.

The white fog surged out, causing every Devil Knight’s contamination detector to sound frantic alarms.

The concentration of pollution here was even higher than in the Abyss.

And through that thick white fog, Yuri also saw the Order Sword that Bishop Weisen had transformed into, still standing on the restless tentacles.

But clearly, it was no longer as stable as before.

Yuri made a gesture, and the door was closed again.

“Tell me,” Yuri spoke.

A knight stepped forward: “The concentration of pollution increased suddenly. It’s probably related to the change in the Sky Tower ten minutes ago. According to the current level of pollution, our previously derived conclusion that the Order Sword could stand for at least two hours can no longer…”

“Give me a direct time,” Yuri looked the knight in the eyes, speaking deliberately, “How much longer can the Order Sword last?”

“Twenty to thirty minutes.”

From two hours to twenty to forty minutes?

Yuri’s heart sank.

Indeed, the situation in the Sky Tower had affected this side; it seemed Oliver had done something again.

He remembered Weisen’s last words.

The Order Sword must not fall.

That was the last ounce of sanity for Lyra. Once the Order Sword collapsed, Lyra would immediately turn into a completely mad killing machine.

In such a case, it wouldn’t just be the New Gods at risk, the entirety of Lyra City and the millions of its residents could be annihilated.
