Chapter 187 – The Fall of Aberglow Forest (4)
Episode 187: Fall of Aberglow Forest (4)
At first, I thought it was the hero Retina.
‘Body movements and voices, above all, energy is different.’
If she were standing with Retina, she would look so much like a twin, but
The energy that radiates from a woman is extremely ordinary.
He was a completely different person.
“I am the one who kills the saintess! It’s me! So hurry up and release it!!”
“Shut up that noisy mouth.”
The tip of her sharp sword was pointed at Daphnell’s uvula before she knew it.
The emanating sword energy is as cold as ice, and even Daphnell, who was raging in anger, swallows saliva.
At that moment, Lesilia’s gathered fingertips trembled a little.
“!!”
“Your wrists will fly off if you do anything nonsense.”
A woman’s gaze turns around.
It responds promptly to Lesilia’s small movements.
There was some kind of annoyance in her movements as she twisted her nose, but there was a dangerous life in her nonchalant eyes.
“I won’t do anything according to your wishes, knight.”
Lesilia closed her eyes in surrender.
Seeing this, the woman took the rapier sword.
Then, the chain that bound her broke like a piece of glass, and her holy power, which was pressing on her chest, quickly disappeared.
“Kuu… Ha!”
“It is the name of the saintess. Back off before the chaos consumes you.”
“Joy.”
The cat, who had been nagging and behaving ferociously, quickly calmed down.
Daphnell averts his gaze downward and quickly uses teleportation magic.
Daphnell disappeared, scattering only filthy demons.
Lesilia looks at her woman with her curious eyes.
“The saintess is very interested in the demon king. You are also watching, so you will have to try to preserve your life.”
Her high ponytail brown hair flutters in the wind, revealing her sideline.
The almond-shaped golden eyes showed no emotion. I kept looking at him as if he resembled my master.
“I have a lot to ask. I want to talk to you. What’s your name?”
“… This is Melissa.”
Melissa paused for a moment and easily gave me her name.
‘It’s not my real name.’
The woman in front of her may be aware of her own identity.
Lesilia nodded her head while observing her small reaction.
“Guy! Guess!”
Her sky-piercing cries tear her ears.
Porginei with its head down.
Lesilia opens her eyes wide in surprise.
Above the figure being torn apart and pulverized into the air, a huge dragon flies vigorously with seeds in its bite.
“Soon Aberglow will perish.”
Melissa is quiet, as if talking to herself, and turns her steps.
That word sounded like a quick run away.
However, despite her words, Lesilia stood still and looked up at her sky.
“Yes, the space they live in will be destroyed. As long as the world lives, the species lives.”
Lesilia’s confident answer stopped Melissa in her tracks.
“You really are a saint. Maybe that’s why she’s even more restrained.”
Although half of her shadow covered her face because she twisted her chin to keep an eye on Lesilia.
As if a dead breath comes to life, golden eyes flutter.
“Beware of the new saint. I wish you good luck with the Demon King.”
Melissa turned her back with the fluttering skirt of her dress and soon disappeared into the darkness created by the forest.
Lesilia, who was staring at her scars, lowered her eyes.
‘I didn’t say God’s blessing.’
A world created by the goddess Gaia.
All human beings wish the other person God’s blessing no matter how they say hello or whatever they do.
Even if you don’t believe in God, say God’s blessing.
It was literally a typical greeting here.
Melissa knew the truth as well as the identity of the new saint.
In a world where disasters appeared, the oracle was constantly deteriorating, making it difficult to even read the mind of the goddess.
My temples are throbbing as if they are trying to trick me on purpose.
“You must protect the strong man. So that…”
You can go back to your original world.
Lesilia crosses herself and examines the resonating chaos.
Then I felt a shady aura.
Lesilia caressed her arm softly at the amount that sent chills down her spine.
However, the clear blue eyes were watching only one person.
A place where pure evil gathers.
Where the shadows gathered ravenously and stood tall, Ikarut was there.
Ugh-
A demonic sword that resonates with chaos
As the dreary aurora unfolded in the firmament, the chaos that resonated created a hole in an instant.
Woo woo woo-
Howling chaos. A demonic sword that resonates with him as if barking.
Ikarut straightened his grip on the demonic sword and leaped into the air.
The scars he passes by are followed by deep darkness.
Fault.
Chaos opened its mouth towards its prey.
As soon as Ikarut enters the chaos, he shuts his mouth.
“Master!”
Lesilia rushed to Ikarut like a moth to her fire.
[Existence disappears as soon as chaos begins]
[Time limit given]
[30 seconds]
In the first place, the quest could not be completed.
It wasn’t enough to summon the disaster monster, Porginei, and it was planned to destroy the Aberglow Forest as the original ending scenario of the demon king.
The time given was also very short.
‘You have to keep it. The forest and you too!’
As an aura is created around Lesilia’s body, she begins to be colored with a brilliant light.
If the darkness follows the demon lord Ikarut everywhere he goes
Light followed wherever Saint Lesilia went.
Dig!
Holy power rose like a fountain and covered the night sky.
***
The demonic sword that resonates cries as if it is constantly searching for something.
Following the cries of the demonic sword, Ikarut went into chaos.
‘It’s also where the roots of the World Tree are.’
Chaos arose in the place where the holy sword used to be.
The root of the world tree must be within the chaos.
‘I might find the holy sword.’
The demonic sword, which had found traces of the holy sword, was complaining because it wanted to fight, so Ikarut came in with confidence.
Chaos of nothing.
Ikarut stands alone and looks around.
“There really is nothing.”
There is no energy that anything exists.
Well, since I fell into a world where there is nothing, it is only natural that there is nothing.
It’s bullshit.
Ikarut is about to open this space again and try to get out.
A few scenes passed by like holograms through the cloudy fog.
“… What?”
It was like going back to an old movie projector.
Ikarut, who watched closely, noticed a familiar face among the passing scenes.
His own room after a long time.
The face of Kwon Kang-han, who is concentrating hard on the game while watching the monitor, is reflected.
Watching him move his fingers and mouse at the same time, I understood why his mother gave him a hard slap on the back.
It was amazing to see myself through the eyes of a third person.
As I took a step closer to take a closer look, the scene changed.
A saint?
Lesilia opens her eyes. The sleep energy quickly disappeared from her neat face, and soon a blush bloomed on both her cheeks.
‘Ah… I woke up again.’
Lesilia caressed her flushed cheeks with the palm of her hand and pursed her lips.
Even if you try to close her eyes again, she wakes up suddenly because she can’t sleep.
‘I miss you.’
Like a teenage girl contemplating her first love, Lesilia wiggles on her toes and gets on her knees.
Lesilia hugged her legs like a doll and bowed her head.
Reddish earlobes are visible through her flowing hair.
‘I miss you so much.’
There was a strange sense of shame in her twitching of her fingers and her squeezing.
Feeling that his heart is tickling for some reason, Ikarut hesitates and steps back.
Of course, Lesilia pulled her eyes out, and their gazes collided.
‘Kanghan-nim?’
Lesilia moves her lips and stretches her hand forward.
Crisply, gold splits along her fingertips.
At the same time, the space also trembles.
“Master!!”
Chaeeng!
The scene Ikarut saw was shattered with the sound of breaking glass.
The real Lesilia appeared as the light stung her eyes.
The ground she touched caused an earthquake, and soon she was crushed to pieces.
“It’s dangerous!”
In the collapsing chaos, Ikarut fell down.
Lesilia opened her arms and she leaped into his arms.
The falling two embraced each other, and in the shadow of chaos chasing Lesilia, she unleashed her holy power with all her might.
***
A forest that is almost half gone.
The moment Ikarut entered chaos
The huge suction power swallowed half of the Aberglow Forest.
The moment Eleiza was barely holding on with her protection magic
The chaos quickly vanished with the light encompassing the sky.
Ikarut, who was falling down, quickly opened this space and planted his feet on the ground.
“I almost died.”
“Master… Sorry…”
No matter how much the demon lord’s body is, it’s hard to bear if he’s hit directly with tremendous holy power.
Seeing Ikarut’s slightly pale complexion, Lesilia couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
As the platinum-colored crown gradually fell, Ikarut’s image of the saintess he saw in the chaos overlapped.
Having fallen in love with her, she was crying now.
“Thanks.”
“Ah… !”
Lesilia hurriedly raised her face at the sudden thanks.
Her eyes went blank, as if she hadn’t expected to hear thanks from him, but a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Hands respectfully gathered around her navel.
Her fingers wiggle slightly, and she shyly hides inside.
Pretending not to notice the tips of her ears ripening red, Icarut confronts Eleiza, who seems to have something to say.
“Thank you for clearing the confusion.”
Eleazar lifted the hem of her skirt and lowered her face.
All of the archers in the back had an example.
“It would be appropriate to thank the saintess next to me.”
“Since the Demon King defeated the disaster born in chaos, it is right to thank them.”
The eyes of the elves watching them softened. Some even tried to be respectful.
“When chaos arises, no one can stop it and all tribes perish. I knew that the elven race would disappear into history, but I wanted to stop it. And deep down, I hoped that the Demon King would stop it.”
“Originally, it was the fate of your species. Fate just luckily escaped you.”
“Whoops, I don’t believe in luck.”
If it was the ending of the demon king, it was correct that the elves disappeared.
However, they were able to live because the ending was different.
Ikarut, who knew the inconvenient truth, pretended not to know, but ignored it.
Eleza was sending her eyes of trust as if she believed her completely.
“Since you signed a redemption contract and even protected the elves, I must repay your help.”
“I will never see you again here. It would be good to move forward with the restoration of the forest.”
“Isn’t it worse than I thought?♡”
Eleza covered her mouth with a soft voice as if tempting.
“A month later, the leaders of other tribes are scheduled to have a one-on-one conversation with the new saint. I was selected as the head of the elves throughout the Dark Wood and Aberglow Forest.”
Are you opening an interview? Is it one-to-one too?
Lesilia’s eyes widen when she hears the news for the first time in her life.
Even when the saintess interacts with other races, she does not engage in one-on-one conversations.
As for the new saint, she seems to be up to something.
“I will make an oath of an elf to the demon king.
I will give you a transfer so that I can go to the head of the elven race on my behalf.”
The sudden utterance of the elf’s oath was unconventional.
