The Thunderbird let out an unwilling cry, then slowly dissipated and fell from the sky.
"Phew…"
Shiki let out a long breath and put away the Kuji Narukami; immediately after, she felt something extra in her hand.
"This is… a feather?"
A beautifully shaped feather lay quietly in Shiki's palm; she remembered this, it had dropped from the Thunder Manifestation after completing the Seirai Island quest.
The Thunder Manifestation was originally a monster formed from the Thunderbird's residue; now that the Thunderbird's residue had been vanquished by her, this feather naturally fell into her hands.
Moreover, Shiki also sensed a faint consciousness within it; it seemed that the ability to retain wisdom after millennia was inseparable from this feather.
Without the Thunderbird's residue, the thunderclouds lingering above Seirai Island quickly dispersed under Shiki's control; after several centuries, Seirai Island finally saw the sun once more.
"Ya?"
The Hilichurl on the ground felt very confused; wasn't the sky always purple? Why was it bright today?
Shiki, standing in the air, pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to keep the faint consciousness within this feather; after all, the story of Tsurumi Island had left a very deep impression on her.
This cycle, which had persisted for thousands of years, should finally come to an end.
Without the thundercloud, the electro element concentration in the air around the periphery of Seirai Island had returned to normal, but in the core and buffer zones, the electro element was still excessive.
At this time, the help of the Grand Narukami Shrine priestesses was needed; they knew how to repair Seirai Island's Great Barrier.
However, the dark clouds Shiki had conjured still hadn't dispersed, and her purpose in doing so was, of course, for…
Boom!
One bolt of lightning after another fell from the sky, striking the monsters in Koseki Village; the high concentration of electro element had led to the proliferation of Floating Spirits and Slimes on Seirai Island.
People would be living here in the future, so Shiki naturally had to clean the place up.
As for being immune to electro element… that was only relatively immune; if it were a Vision holder, then they would naturally be immune, but was Shiki an ordinary person?
The Archon's power far exceeded the specifications of these monsters; under such overwhelming force, they could only vanish into thin air.
The difference was too great; don't talk about immunity in games. Look at a Rock Slime standing under the rock spear thrown by Morax—does it turn into liquid or remain intact?
If such monsters could be completely immune to their respective elements, then what would be the point of the Archon War? Why not just choose seven Slimes or Floating Spirits?
After clearing out the monsters around Koseki Village, Shiki finally dispersed the dark clouds, then stepped down from the sky, walking step by step on stairs formed by electro element tomoe patterns.
At the same time, Captain Madarame's eyes widened when he saw the suddenly clear sea; who could tell him what exactly was happening? Where was that huge thundercloud?
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, Captain Madarame finally ordered the fleet to speed up.
"Captain Madarame."
"Oh? Young Miss? Why did you come up here?"
"I came to inform you of something: when we reach Seirai Island, let the Grand Narukami Shrine boats dock first; we'll need to wait on board for a while. I'll tell you exactly how long when we arrive."
During the voyage, Shiki had already discussed some operational arrangements with Ayaka: full speed ahead after the thundercloud dispersed, then let the priestesses land first to repair the first layer of the barrier seal, and only then allow the workers to come ashore.
