Chapter 954: The Seamstress Appears Again (2/2)
After all, with two Motor Fishes, they were capable of moving at speeds beyond an individual was capable of, despite relying on related passive abilities. Thus, the entity called the Seamstress was no longer able to give chase.
Once they had disappeared far away, a figure surfaced, slightly exhausted. Sporting a look like she was in her late twenties, the lady's blue hair was highlighted by the Neon Radiance she emitted at a weak intensity.
She then swam through the water before pulling the couple of boats she had severed, attaching them to the two Motor Fish cages. She then climbed aboard them before slowly paddling towards Krune. She then spoke when they were nearby, asking, ”Are you okay?”
”Yes,” Krune replied while carrying the baby, using his healing effect to heal it. When he had set it aside while fighting, its condition had worsened. With that, he had to heal it further so that it wouldn't die.
Unfortunately, despite having wrapped it in the leather blanket, its body was getting colder. The moment she noticed the baby's condition, the Seamstress moved closer until her boat touched him. She then extended her hand, touching the baby's forehead before frowning. ”The baby is losing its body heat.”
”I'm already healing him. Do you have a better solution?” Krune inquired, not wary of the other party. He heard Gajor's shout as they tried to escape. He addressed the lady as the Seamstress. Surprisingly, that was a name even he had heard about.
After all, when they were traveling towards the Four Sectors' Border Region, Cultivator had informed him of some of the interesting people he met. Since he was the type of person to only care about nature and almost never about people, when he called someone interesting, they were bound to be unique individuals.
With that, he had described the Seamstress as a mad woman that still followed the ideals she had when she was a five-year-old. In order to instill peace upon the land, she went around using her Spiritual Incarnation to convert all the bandits and other notorious figures into selfless individuals who wished to bring peace to the world.
She instilled in them a sense of innocence while granting them power, subtly changing their mindset to make them better individuals. Even though bringing peace in the God Realm was impossible, she was making an effort through her own strength.
Thus, she had accumulated considerable fame because of that. Surprisingly, the number of followers she had was staggering, almost enough to rival the armies of a couple of cities combined. That much power in the hands of an individual that wasn't even an immortal was an astounding feat.
On top of that, she was a smart lady, capable of scheming when necessary. But despite everything, she stubbornly wished to uphold the ideals she had as a child and strived forth accordingly. As the one who said this was Cultivator, Krune wasn't averse towards the lady before him.
And since Cultivator had also shown him her appearance, he could recognize her. 'But, she looks very young now. As a cultivator, she seemed to be in her sixties, but now, she looks like she's only in her twenties.'
”I can help,” the Seamstress said, retracting her hand lightly as she could feel the essence of the ocean in the blue light Krune emitted. She then focused as her hand emitted a gentle heat, selectively wrapping around the baby.
The heat was warm, soon instilling some vigor in the baby. Simultaneously, Krune's healing effect instilled more and more vitality in the baby. Soon, the baby began to make crying sounds. The moment they heard it, Krune and the Seamstress beamed at each other with a smile. The baby had survived.
”Is he your son?” the Seamstress looked around, trying to find the mother of the child. Judging by his age, she wondered if the mother had delivered him while in the Sub-Realm.
”No, she gave him to me before dying.” Krune pointed towards a floating figure on the other side of his boat. ”For some reason, those pirates had been chasing after her.”
Following his gaze, the Seamstress noticed the stabbed figure of a woman floating on the ocean water. The water currents caused her body to hit Krune's boat every once in a while. The moment she noticed the vicious manner in which he was stabbed, the Seamstress fumed in anger.
Nevertheless, she quickly controlled herself, taking deep breaths as she calmed down before performing a prayer to the lady. ”May your vitality flow into the ocean and birth new life.”
She then turned around, cupping her fists to Krune as she told him, ”Then, I'll take my leave.”
Saying so, she just turned around, intending to command the Motor Fishes when suddenly, Krune raised his hand, asking her, ”Please wait.”
