Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 315 Free Fall

"Look, it's Aigle's spark!"

From the crowd, Feng Jin let out an excited exclamation. She hurriedly raised her arm, her fingertips pointing directly at the massive body of the Titan in the sky.

There, a flame radiating a dazzling light slowly rose from the Titan's chest.

Is it over?

Staring at the spark, Bai E let out a long sigh of relief, and his right hand, which had been gripping the weapon tightly, relaxed and fell naturally.

He never expected that the renowned hero of the Sky Clan, the revered Thunder Knight Seneos, would be there.

After becoming the Titan of the Sky in this world, she abandoned her dignity and pretended to be dead to deceive everyone, thus launching a sneak attack.

What made him even more remorseful was that he hadn't realized the other party's intentions at all!

If Lin Qiong hadn't intervened in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

With these thoughts in mind, Bai E unconsciously increased the force, gripping the weapon tightly until his knuckles turned white from excessive force.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts and turned his gaze to Lin Qiong, who was taking back the cross, not far away. He couldn't help but feel a dryness in his throat.

"Can I... really bear the weight of everything in Onpharos?"

......

"Phew...we finally got the last spark."

After defeating the Sky Titan, Lin Qiong swiftly retrieved Judah, then looked up at the spark that had broken free from the Titan's remains.

At that moment, he was seriously considering his next move, so he was completely unaware of the gaze that Bai E was casting at him.

"Next, as long as we bring that spark back to Ohma, this journey to Onfaros will be almost over."

Lin Qiong silently calculated in his mind, then took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked the screen, and glanced at the time displayed on it.

The screen currently displays the time as 17:55, which is around dusk.

If you do the math, the whole process, from arriving at this sky fortress to successfully defeating the Sky Titan and obtaining the fire, actually took almost half a day!

"Has it really been that long?"

Lin Qiong put his phone back in his pocket, and couldn't help but sigh, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

It contained both the relief of completing the final mission and the reluctance to part with the journey...

But just as he was immersed in this complex situation, a sudden tremor instantly woke him up.

Boom!

The platform beneath their feet... or rather, the entire Sky Fortress, was shaking violently at that moment.

The sudden tremor caused Lin Qiong to stagger uncontrollably for several steps, nearly being knocked to the ground by the shock.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, inserting the sword into the ground in time and holding onto the hilt with both hands, which barely allowed him to stabilize himself.

"What's going on?" After regaining his balance, Lin Qiong immediately looked up and around, shouting loudly.

Although his voice was somewhat weak due to the strong vibrations, it was still loud enough for those around him to hear.

Before he could finish speaking, a hurried reply came from beside him: "This tremor... seems to be coming from below the platform!"

Following the sound, Lin Qiong turned his gaze to his left.

The speaker was Dan Heng, who was crouching on the ground, struggling to maintain his balance amidst the violent shaking.

On the other side, Xing, who was also holding onto the Flame Spear to maintain her balance, immediately spoke up, "Have you heard any strange noises?"

"Strange sound?"

Reminded by Xing, Lin Qiong immediately turned his head and listened carefully.

After filtering out the roaring sound caused by the vibration, he indeed caught a glimpse of something unusual.

The sound was extremely faint and came from below the platform; it seemed to be the muffled gurgling sound characteristic of some kind of liquid churning.

"Huh? What is this...?"

Lin Qiong frowned deeply, unable to discern for a moment what kind of liquid the sound came from.

Just as he was wondering about this, Feng Jin's exclamation suddenly rang in his ears:

"That sound... is coming from the hearth below!"

Before she could finish speaking, Feng Jin cried out in a panic, her face filled with urgency, "Oh no! We must get out of here as soon as possible!"

Having said that, she disregarded the violently shaking platform and risked falling, rushed forward, and grabbed the spark of fire from the sky into her palm.

Almost at the same moment she grasped the fire in her hand—

Boom!!

An even more violent explosion came from below the platform.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Sky Fortress shook even more violently, like an earthquake.

However, the echo of the explosion had not yet completely dissipated in the air.

The platform beneath everyone's feet, like a dilapidated building, could no longer withstand the violent tremor and collapsed to one side with a crash.

"ah!!"

With a cry of alarm, Feng Jin, who had just retrieved the fire, slipped and fell due to the tilting of the platform, then slid quickly down the platform toward the collapse.

"Kazejin—!!"

The moment the platform tilted, Dan Heng, Xing, and Bai E, who had secured themselves to the platform with their weapons beforehand, hurriedly reached out to try and grab Feng Jin, who was sliding down at high speed.

However, Feng Jin slid down so fast that the outstretched hands of the group missed their target.

But just as Feng Jin was about to fall off the platform, a golden chain shot through the air and wrapped around her waist like a serpent, pulling her back from the edge of the platform.

"Phew... This is my first time using this mode, thankfully I made it in time!"

The one who spoke was Lin Qiong.

At this moment, a tiny cross was attached to the back of his left hand.

The chain connecting the wind violet below extends from this cross.

"I originally just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to actually succeed."

Looking at the Judas on the back of his hand, which had shrunk countless times, Lin Qiong couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.

He was thankful that he still remembered that the Oath of Judah, besides being used as a weapon in ordinary times, also had another form—

Hunting mode.

This is a special form that can greatly compress the volume of Judah and transform it entirely into chains.

In this form, the chains launched by Judah extend almost twice as far as in their original form.

In Hunting Mode, although the chain's strength is reduced, it is usually only used for reconnaissance and target acquisition, and cannot be used in regular combat.

However, its advantage lies in the fact that the huge cross can be made more concealed and easier to carry, making it very suitable for the current emergency.

"Feng Jin, try to stay still, I'll pull you up right away..."

Lin Qiong gradually exerted force with his left hand, preparing to pull Feng Jin, whose body was half-hanging on the edge of the platform, up.

But just then, a series of piercing creaking sounds suddenly came from the last remaining support point on the other side of the platform.

The platform, tilted to its breaking point, seemed to be announcing to everyone that it could no longer bear this weight alone.

Then, accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound, the platform's last remaining support point completely collapsed.

The platform, which had only been tilting, suddenly sank, and a strong sense of weightlessness gripped everyone instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the massive body of the Sky Titan, along with Lin Qiong and his group, plummeted downwards along with the platform.
