Chapter 763 The Real Base 8
After suffering a certain degree of attack, the Protoss will automatically return to the Protoss Realm to heal. There, the place is filled with rich star power, so their injuries will heal faster.
However, as long as the Protoss themselves don't want to, or they haven't received enough damage, they won't be triggered to automatically return; another situation is that if the Protoss itself is cast with special magic, such as being occupied by a wizard using 'Human Slaves', they will not be able to return.
However, 'Human Subjugation' is a lost magic after all, and using this trick to occupy another person's body is taboo, so basically no one will use it in this situation, unless that person is extremely stupid or a psychopath.
Someone like Kira, who has a strong magical talent, would definitely not use those crude magics. For him, it is easy to use magic to sever the space connection.
…
It hurts...
The pain stimulated Rocky's nerves, causing him to slowly open his eyes.
"You finally woke up? Congratulations, Rocky, you are a girl now!"
What?!
The familiar accent and terrifying words made Rocky's heart explode instantly as he just woke up and was still in a trance. But after carefully feeling that his body was still intact, he calmed down with lingering fear.
Then, Rocky found himself in a dimly lit room, lying on a bed in patient gown, looking no different from a patient who had just undergone surgery.
"...Who changed my clothes?" Rocky looked at Kira, who was sitting aside, operating some metal instrument and fiddling with something.
"Is this the first thing you thought of?" Kira didn't even raise his head and continued to wave the unknown thing in his hand.
He had a metal mask on his face, a white coat on his body, and heavy-looking gloves on his hands. On the table in front of him were densely packed mechanical metals of unknown function. He looked like a mechanic who was developing magic weapons.
"What are you doing? Where am I?... No! Why did you knock me out?! Also, where is everyone?!" Rocky asked several questions in a row, throwing out all the doubts in his mind.
"Don't be impatient...let me explain it to you slowly!"
Kira calmed Rocky's emotions slowly and leisurely. The wires, wrenches, screws and hammers in his hands kept changing hands, making clinking metal sounds and bursts of electric sparks on the table in front of him.
"The one who changed your clothes was Gray. I don't know if he did anything to you. And this is the real Base 8, which is underground where I took you before. I knocked you out just for convenience. And..."
Having said that, Kira finally finished the work in his hands. He stood up from his seat, took off his mask, gloves and coat and threw them aside. Then he picked up a watch from the table and put it on. After counting several times, a virtual image appeared on the watch, which looked like a simple grid map.
"I'm making a magic tracker."
What do you mean by knocking me out just for the sake of convenience?! It's been so long, has your personality not changed at all?! No... he has changed! He's just become more evil! Can such a person really lead Fairy Tail?!
Rocky complained madly in his heart. He took a deep breath and wanted to get angry at Kira, scolding him for not following the magic and launching a sneak attack. However, when he heard a certain term from the other party, he was stunned: "Magic... Tracker?"
"It's to find Lucy's locator. If I'm guessing correctly, you came here for this, right?"
Kira said as a matter of course, his hands , repeatedly pressing the few buttons on the watch, and the 'beep, beep, beep' sound echoed in the empty room.
Finally, Kira seemed to have finished testing something. He took off the watch and threw it to Rocky, saying , "This one seems to be well made. I'll give it to you for now."
In fact, Rocky's brain was still confused until now, but out of trust in his companions, he hurriedly took the watch. After a closer look, he found that the watch was made of some kind of alloy, with only two or three buttons and a small crystal screen on it. It was extremely sloppy, but it also exuded a sense of high-tech contrast!
Even though he had doubts about Kira's statement about the "locator used to find Lucy", Rocky knew that Kira would never make anything useless!
Looking at the watch in his hand, which was of a decent quality, Rocky felt excited: "Can I find Lucy with this? Could it be that you have successfully opened a channel to the parallel world?"
After saying this, Loki realized that he was confused: he knew that Lucy was very likely trapped in a parallel world because of what the Celestial King told him, but Kira had no such information, so how could he know what a parallel world was and what it was not?
"That... parallel world is..."
"Come on, I might be more familiar with this than you are!" Before Rocky could finish his explanation, Kira interrupted him with a sneer, just like he did in the guild before.
"Connecting parallel worlds? You think that's beautiful! This is just a magic tracker, not a time teleporter! Let me get this straight! This is "Fairy Tail", not "Spider-Man in the Universe"!!"
Rocky's expression froze again: This guy is saying something confusing again...
However, combined with the tone and context, he still understood what Kira meant, which was: This thing can't find Lucy now!
"This watch has two functions. One is to locate the position of everyone in the guild, and the other is to teleport to the guild base, but it is only limited to the same world and the same time! For example, Lucy has disappeared and it cannot track her down!"
What use do I have for this thing?
Kira walked out of the room with Rocky looking depressed. Rocky immediately picked up the suit beside the bed and put it on, then followed Kira. He had to figure out the current situation quickly.
The walls, floors, and ceilings along the way were all built with a mixture of wood, stone, and metal. The light was as dim and gloomy as in the previous room. It seemed that, just as Kira had said, this was a secret base underground.
"I say, can't you make the lighting here better?" Rocky complained towards Kira's back, and at the same time condensed a ball of golden light in his hand, illuminating everything he could see.
"Are you kidding me?...Wait! What are you doing?!"
The change in the light around him made Kira's face change suddenly. He quickly shouted and turned around to slap away the Lion's Glory in Rocky's hand, "Stop now! If you do this..."
"What will happen if I do this?" Rocky's heart instantly rose to his throat. He had never seen Kira's nervous reaction like this before.
Rocky's pupils were unable to react to the flickering light. He could only see Kira's blurry figure approaching him, and then he heard his angry shout: "If you do this... won't the atmosphere of the secret base be completely ruined?!!"
“…”
The unexpected turn of events made Rocky stunned again. After a long time, he complained to himself: "I have been crazy for too long. I actually forgot this guy's character..."
Kira ignored Rocky who was standing there in a daze and turned around and walked forward. Rocky didn't realize he was left behind until he finished complaining in his heart, so he quickly ran forward.
Based on visual observation, Rocky judged that this underground base was large, but the layout was not complicated. Walking along the road, he finally came to an open space!
This open space is about the size of two or three guilds. There are many stone or wooden statues placed on the open space. Each statue has a unique shape. Some are in the shape of guild emblems, some are in the shape of holy swords, and some are in the shape of familiar partners. The statues are lifelike, and there are stone or wooden pillars around them for protection. On them are either inlaid or hung with colorful and radiant crystal lamps. The crystal lamps of various colors illuminate the entire underground base as brightly as the ground.
In addition to the crystal chandeliers, another source of light is the huge bonfire in the center of the open space. The caves carved out of the wall and connected to the ground maintain good ventilation conditions for this underground base, so there is no need to worry about the bonfire going out or carbon monoxide poisoning occurring.
Everyone in the guild was here: Natsu and Happy were having fun by the bonfire, Erza and Wendy were cooking not far away, Gray was shirtless and running around in the crowd, Cana was drinking with Makao and the others as usual, Laxus, Gajeel and Mira seemed to have formed a rock band and were performing passionately, the short Makarov brought several familiar companions, singing ugly songs and dancing ugly dances to the music, Alzac and Bisca were still fighting , Jet and Dolor were arguing over Levi, and Ridasu was quietly painting in the corner...
The smell of cigarettes and alcohol filled the open space. Drinks and food were placed on the tables for people to enjoy at will. Everyone had a smile on their face, and it looked like an underground banquet!
Apart from the different location, everything here is no different from when we were in the guild!
“This… this is…”
Just as Rocky was stunned by what he saw, everyone noticed his arrival.
"Rocky?! Isn't this Rocky?! It's been a long time since we last met!!"
Someone's exclamation made the wizards who were still immersed in the banquet stop what they were doing, and then they all rushed towards Loki.
"Rocky, what's up with all this clothing of yours?"
"In such a long time, your strength seems to have not improved at all..."
"It's a rare visit, do you want to come for a drink after such a long absence?"
"By the way, how is your life in the Star Spirit World?"
Rocky was a little overwhelmed by everyone's reactions: "Everyone...you..."
"What on earth are you doing right now?!"
