對峙間,僥倖逃脫的少男少女趕緊趁亂中往建築群跑去,穿過仍然熙攘的大街,腳步止於一隅不太顯眼的儀器前。471Please respect copyright.PENANAZjgzWDOKFc

「派恩哥哥這個儀器應是參照我的傳送魔法而開發的,也就是說它也會有距離限制……」柔伊稚嫩的雙手在操作盤上純熟下達指令,再次啟動魔旅者指針。黑針尖端在漸夜空中閃耀黯淡光芒,並指向遙遠的北方。待柔伊調整好指針設定,操控自動門便徐徐開啟,示意三人進入其中的傳送艙。471Please respect copyright.PENANAPrFpwe2fdc

艙門關閉之際,伊咘西萊見柔伊趕忙拿出一件小物丟向正要合上的門縫,手心剛巧接著它,強光遂包圍眼前玻璃門以及其外面的光景,剩下身邊的阿爾法和貝塔。471Please respect copyright.PENANA5RU964kFPe

「唉……美人離我而去,剩下只有麻煩的爛攤子。」慾哭無淚的克西仰望流光劃出軌跡,低聲自言自語道。471Please respect copyright.PENANAswf3OIcnUv
471Please respect copyright.PENANAcfhguZyQcj
471Please respect copyright.PENANAfo872maUBC
「少囉嗦!我們還要想辦法救派恩哥哥!」柔伊確認儀器狀況後,急著性子像要拋下克西走上回頭路。471Please respect copyright.PENANABBA33OetAd

這邊廂,閃耀光輝於黑夜中劃破長空,帶著三人奔過地平線的彼方。乘著光陣降落,在星途下邁向遙遠一方的目的地。往後一看,宏偉的建築群早已不復見,取而代之是群山與草原,教他們要暫時把人間亂象放置一旁,專注於尋覓之途。471Please respect copyright.PENANArSAUcgzAP0

山脈延綿萬里,屹立在整道地平線之上,高聳入雲的頂峰就像插進雲間,即使今晚萬里無雲,它仍然被一片濃密白霧所遮蓋,把其至袐一面掩藏起來,如同告訴世人必須要親臨其中,方能一窺其真實面目。471Please respect copyright.PENANAsvgCo442UF

「柔伊把這個東西送了給我。」
伊咘西萊鬆開手掌,一道金屬懷錶躺在他手上,默默記錄著當下時刻。星輝和五輪明月映照之下,映入眾人眼簾是鑲在懷錶上兩個分別代表方向的外輪以及象徵晝夜的內輪。緻密的金製部件剛好覆蓋了半個象徵晝夜的輪子,外露的另一半雕刻著時間刻度,配以代表黑夜的五輪明月及星海紋樣,中央指針則一直環繞輪子轉動,每轉一圈回到正上方,晝夜之輪亦會跟著移動一個刻度,交替於晝夜紋樣間。471Please respect copyright.PENANAxz9NmWouJk
471Please respect copyright.PENANA3088Fa53g3
遼闊原野上,三人循著懷錶所指之方向,披星戴月下一路前行。長夜未退,步伐卻早已漸漸變重,教他們停下腳步,坐在草原上稍作歇息。471Please respect copyright.PENANAm8DNou7yoN

「這裡不知道又會有著什麼危機,還是讓我自己一人上去就好。」星光下那延綿山峰的輪廓清晰可見,在貝塔眼中映出卻是侊如蘊藏未知危險的溫床。
然而阿爾法一直注視著最高的山峰,冥冥中感受到在那無明之處流出的強烈氣場,淡然說著:
「不,我感覺到頂端那邊,有股很鮮明的力量。」471Please respect copyright.PENANAQ56wpcllhd
471Please respect copyright.PENANARgmlxE75az
「也許就是我要尋找的原初之力吧,不用擔心我,而且阿爾法你身上的傷還沒完全復元……」471Please respect copyright.PENANAnmhKDaVAjL
471Please respect copyright.PENANA45MLfOz2Tz
471Please respect copyright.PENANA8jVse0u4lB
話語至此,阿爾法突如抓住貝塔手臂,翠綠雙瞳與深紫雙眸互相對望,見微抖眼珠以及她通紅的臉龐刻畫著對他的依賴,便道:471Please respect copyright.PENANARCe92UvJ6z

溫柔聲線如此一問,她再沒有回話,瞇起眼緊抱阿爾法展開的手臂,疲憊姿態隨即顯現。471Please respect copyright.PENANARqlofqDdNL

「我們今晚還是在這裡休息一下吧。」見狀,伊咘西萊便著兩人席地而坐。繁星之下,伊咘西萊躺在阿爾法身旁,很快便步入夢鄉;而貝塔亦倚在阿爾法另一旁閉上雙眼歇息,剩下阿爾法一人坐在草地上維持一貫清晰意識。471Please respect copyright.PENANAmFo3M1Okp7

「嗯……阿爾法……」對於無夢的阿爾法來說,他只能盯住星空微光下熟睡的伊咘西萊,嘗試摸索眼簾後他所見事物。他只知道眼睛一閉上,看見也只有漆黑一片,即使掩蓋視野,外來微動就從耳邊滲入,意識無法像身邊的人那般,雙眼緊閉就能去到那稱作「夢境」之幻想鄉。471Please respect copyright.PENANA6KoAkhobh4

長夜裡,哪怕是野獸們在遠處呼吸,都一一傳到阿爾法耳邊。他握著劍,獨自一人暗自擔當起守護貝塔和伊咘西萊的重任。飢餓的夜行野獸鬼祟竄出,似要從遠處乘機偷襲之際,劍尖迅捷劃出,喉嚨未及嗚呼便被俐落地割開。他茫然蹲坐在血泊中,好奇之下一刀剖開野獸隆起的前腹,拭過濺臉的血水,便從血肉中取出另一隻剛斷氣的小犢。他抓住那小身軀,在月明下稍窺其全貌後,便連同野獸屍體拖到貝塔和伊咘西萊身邊。471Please respect copyright.PENANAkv8LduLIBx

471Please respect copyright.PENANARVK05IjPS6
黎明破曉,兩人總算從夢中甦醒過來。嗅到一股腥風,伊咘西萊猛然清醒的視線旋即投向身旁那血肉模糊的龐然大物上。471Please respect copyright.PENANARAyc4SDrgI
471Please respect copyright.PENANAnt8a4p2R0T
471Please respect copyright.PENANA3JBLDc2dhL
「一大一小、被切開的腹部……這種處於繁殖期的野獸,營養價值一般都比較高。」剛睜眼的貝塔見狀,卻是一副欣喜若狂的表情。471Please respect copyright.PENANA9YvoRYfLy3
471Please respect copyright.PENANAgaWiWAgBsD
471Please respect copyright.PENANAPRHMVJZCRs
「呃……但這樣不覺得很殘忍嗎?」伊咘西萊這下才發現眼前大物是一頭母親,連同肚裡幼崽死在阿爾法劍下,臉上隨即盡顯惶恐,覺得。然而當他又見身邊若無其事和垂涎欲滴的兩副臉容,只好主動到附近撿拾幾根木枝,搭起架子準備生火。471Please respect copyright.PENANAF6apyfG6n9
471Please respect copyright.PENANAGc3wHOD9DY
471Please respect copyright.PENANArJonZt17NU
阿爾法捧起染血的大小野獸屍體,放到伊咘西萊用木枝架起生火的架子,他放下野獸,只是伸出裝甲覆蓋的手往木架的方向,唸過簡短咒語,指間魔力便逐漸蓄積,成為火焰在木枝上燃燒起來。阿爾法熟練地控制著火力,不出一會便把兩件肉團燒成火紅,讓貝塔和伊咘西萊能夠以火燒窯野獸皮肉充飢。471Please respect copyright.PENANAu9NbycdPhE

享受過豐盛的早餐,一行便繼續前行。未止的步伐彷彿把疲勞一一拋諸腦後,專注於那仍然遙遠的目的地。471Please respect copyright.PENANAvKMdiiIm8g

經過一輪趕路,幻神山脈那神秘的輪廓總算是佔據了眼前視界。隨著他們逐漸靠近目的地,朦朧山景逐漸變得清晰起來。不僅是高聳入雲的高峰,就連那交錯於群山中的幻神高原亦展示於眼前,一覽無遺。471Please respect copyright.PENANAZBPqGswvvV

「呼!那裡有座村落,今晚應該不用再睡在草地上了吧?」稍帶興奮心情走在前方,伊咘西萊率先看見在山腳位置坐落著十數座房子。他又取出懷錶一看,只見晝夜之輪逐漸從白晝轉變成夜幕的紋樣,指針亦快要終結這一圈的運轉,叫三人該是時候止步下來稍作歇息。
