Chapter 44 - Ch 44 : The method of salvation
"Tsk... Although they weren't the intended targets, in the end, an execution was still carried out..."
"Focalors" furrowed her brows, appearing somewhat dissatisfied.
"They aren't purely human, yet they were still able to accomplish this?"
"Focalors" slowly withdrew her hand, and Melus and Silver collapsed to the ground.
"I can't waste any more time here—I must return to the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale!"
As she spoke, "Focalors" transformed into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared from sight...
With her departure, the overwhelming pressure that had bound everyone vanished, allowing them to move freely again.
Everyone rushed to the side of the gravely injured Melus and Silver.
"I'm sorry—I take back what I said before. You two were never burdens..." Chiori spoke softly, her eyes filled with sorrow.
"When all of us were unable to move, you both stood up to protect Navia..."
"Neuvillette, please save them!" Furina shook Neuvillette's arm, her voice trembling with urgency.
"Didn't you save Su Yuan before? Please, save them too!"
"Furina... Their hearts and lungs have suffered severe damage—there is no hope for them," Neuvillette replied solemnly.
"The reason I was able to save Su Yuan before was because his vital organs hadn't sustained critical injuries..."
"Miss... as we agreed before, please bury us beside Lord Carlas' grave... That way, when you visit his grave, we can also see you..."
Melus lifted his trembling hand, gently caressing Navia's face.
"Honestly... you're already a grown woman, yet you're still crying like this..."
"Miss... live on well, for our sake too..." Silver struggled to speak.
Under everyone's gaze, Melus' hand fell lifelessly, and Silver's breathing came to a stop...
Navia clenched their hands tightly, her expression darkening.
"Melus..."
"Silver..."
Su Yuan couldn't bear to watch this scene unfold.
From a game perspective, Melus and Silver were merely NPCs without even unique character models.
But to Navia, though they weren't related by blood, they were closer than family...
Moreover, if the game had followed its original storyline, Melus and Silver would have perished during the rescue efforts in Poisson Village, dissolving into the primordial sea to save others.
And later, when Navia herself fell into the primordial sea, they had protected her one last time...
Such loyal and righteous individuals—how could their story end here?!
Anyway, there are still at least three more chances to rewind today—using one for them, so what?
"Su Yuan, what are you trying to do?!" Neuvillette was the first to notice something was wrong with Su Yuan.
However, since his attention had been on Melus and Silver, he was still a step too late...
Right before everyone's eyes, Su Yuan took the small knife he carried and plunged it deep into his own heart!
He collapsed to the ground, watching as everyone rushed toward him...
His vision and consciousness grew blurrier and blurrier, and their voices became fainter and fainter...
Seriously, he made Neuvillette worry again and made Furina cry again...
In the last moments of his life, a sudden doubt crept into Su Yuan's mind...
Wait, hadn't he always practiced slitting his throat before?
Why did he instinctively stab his heart this time?
..............
Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes—it was that feeling again...
Feeling the sharp pain in the palm of his left hand, he knew he had died once more...
He quickly raised his left hand to check and saw only one sentence written there:
[You died again. This is the second time today.]
Apart from that, there was no other information.
Su Yuan had never encountered this situation before...
What was going on? Why was there no hint at all?
"I'm sorry, I take back what I said before. You two were never a burden..."
Chiori's voice rang out beside Su Yuan, snapping him back to reality.
Only then did he realize that just moments ago, Melus and Silver had taken a fatal blow for Navia, now lying on the ground, barely clinging to life...
What's going on... Why did I rewind to this moment?
Even though he had no memory of his last attempt, Su Yuan knew himself well—he must have rewound time specifically to save Melus and Silver...
But now, it was already too late!
Does this mean Melus and Silver are truly fated to die?
Even I... can't save them?
"Su Yuan? What's wrong? Why are you sweating so much? And why do you look so strange..."
Furina noticed Su Yuan's distress and asked with concern.

But Su Yuan didn't hear her.
His mind was racing, desperately searching for a way to save Melus and Silver.
He couldn't bear to see these two loyal and righteous men meet their end here...
Rewind again? But now that the save point had already been set, he had no control over it.
Wouldn't that just be another futile attempt...?
There must be a way...
Suddenly, as if struck by inspiration, Su Yuan's eyes widened.
Driven by an overwhelming force of will, for the first time, he truly sensed the immense, pure power of water coursing through his body, deep within his very veins...
Every droplet in the air, every trickle in the rivers, every current in the vast ocean—he could feel them all, as if they were under his control.
With that realization, Su Yuan slowly raised his hand...
............
Meanwhile, in the distant Meropide Fortress...
"Duke! The valve is broken! The valve is broken!"
A panicked man suddenly burst into Wriothesley's office.
"Which valve? Just fix it," Wriothesley responded, momentarily stunned.
But then, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Wait... don't tell me it's that valve?"
"Hurry and evacuate the people of Meropide Fortress! Then go to Palais Mermonia and bring Neuvillette here!"
As he spoke, Wriothesley was already preparing to leave, intending to hold the situation under control until Neuvillette arrived.
"No need to panic, Your Grace. The valve has only developed a small crack for some unknown reason—there's no sign of a full rupture. We've already begun emergency reinforcements and repairs."
"You should've led with that!" Wriothesley halted in his tracks, irritation flashing across his face, though he let out a small sigh of relief.
"Next time, get to the point first!"
Even so, Wriothesley knew that while this might have been just a minor incident, it was proof that the Primordial Sea was beginning to show signs of instability.
It seemed the day foretold by the prophecy was drawing near...
..............
Su Yuan gazed at the mass of water in his hands—an unexplainable substance that appeared ordinary yet held unfathomable mysteries within.
Slowly, he stepped forward, stopping before Melus and Silver...
"Su Yuan, you don't even have a Vision—since when could you control Hydro?" Furina exclaimed in shock as she looked at the water in his hands.
Neuvillette, however, watched the water with a grave expression.
There was no mistake—this was water from the Primordial Sea, and an extremely concentrated form at that.
It could only be found beneath the valve in Meropide Fortress...
"Su Yuan, where did you get that water...? What exactly are you planning?" Neuvillette asked cautiously.
But before he could get an answer, Su Yuan—under Neuvillette's astonished gaze—directly poured the water over Melus and Silver!
"Melus... Silver..."
Su Yuan spoke slowly.
"This is the only way I can think of... to save you!"
