Chapter 241 – 241. Actually Nobody Wanted to Lose (6)
==========================
Stab me in the chest,
At El’s words, Ardena felt her suppressed anxiety raise her head again.
She couldn’t understand Master’s words.
Didn’t he promise not to force the ceremony of the world tree and sacrifice for the sake of the cause? Why did you come all of a sudden….
“Ah, I made a mistake. I didn’t mean that…. Maybe I didn’t calm down, so I left out important details.”
Seeing her hardened Ardena expression, Elle pressed her temples apologizing for her own mistake.
She made a remark that was misleading.
She opened her mouth again as El calmed her complicated mind through her deep breaths.
“The point of the sword of the Holy Sword is the heart of another person.”
Another one.
The heart of someone other than mine.
Hearing her, Ardena gave her hesitant look, then she placed her hand on her own chest.
Did she think it was her heart?
She must have made another mistake.
At her actions in her ardena, Elle frowned, lamenting her own hopeless eloquence. Misunderstandings spread to bigger misunderstandings like frost on her eyes.
“Ardena, the heart you must pierce is the alter ego of the World Tree… It is the heart of my sister, Ann Syd.”
“Yes? Speaking of Master’s sister….”
Anne Sid.
Ardena lifted her head and looked at the elf woman with her purple hair open.
Ann Cid and El Cid were related by blood, so of course they looked a lot alike overall.
With the limbs fixed in the internal tissues of the World Tree,
She faced the woman with a carefree expression, her eyes closed as if she had fallen asleep.
“My sister, Ann Seed, died eight hundred years ago. The remains you are looking at are an alter ego that has merged with the World Tree and become a part of it…. And it is also a vessel that contains my strength and powers.”
Elle ran her finger across her sister’s cheek while putting on her pitiful expression.
Like a living being,
The warm warmth remained.
But that was only because her sister’s remains had become part of the World Tree, and her sister had already died eight hundred years ago. She may look like a living person, but the elf woman called Ann Sid no longer exists in this world.
“Ardena.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Now I just want to put my sister, Ann Sid, to rest.”
“… If that’s what Master wants.”
Anne Seed’s remains have lived as part of the World Tree for over 800 years.
The soul leaves the body,
The body that had become part of the World Tree was holding on to life until now.
So that her sister’s remains may rest in peace…. She asked Ardena to rest her.
“Even though I had the chance several times until now, I have lived cowardly and ran away every time. I don’t want to admit that my sister no longer exists in this world…. So I closed her eyes and closed her ears while ignoring her truth.”
A past stained with regret.
A past full of longing and remorse.
The time has finally come to declare the end.
Thanks to the help of two people, Ardena and Yushin, El was finally able to stand in front of her older sister.
Facing the same death as her older sister, giving up her delusion to follow him, she decided to turn her gaze away from her past and move on to her future. If she was a sister who was kind to everyone, she would definitely want her younger brother to move forward instead of following her. She’s sure she’ll be rooting for it.
She said, ‘I almost carve a painful memory on her pupil. I almost gave her pain even to her sister who left her world. And to all my compatriots left in this world… , She almost inflicted the indelible mortal sin of deception.’
She decided to stop doing stupid things that abused and hurt herself.
Love me sincerely
Because there are people who give for me.
Now…. It wasn’t until more than 800 years after her sister’s death that she came to the truth. El lamented her own stupidity, but at her last juncture she smiled bitterly at herself for finally finding her answer.
“Ardena, now… Sister, will you give Ann Sid a place to rest her?”
Said El.
At that, Ardena nodded her head.
Took one step forward.
She then took out the blue jeweled holy sword and aimed it at her sharp blade.
After catching her breath for a moment, Ardena stretched out her sword hilt, clutched with both hands, in front of her as she paid her respects to her first God-Chief, who had sacrificed herself to save her people.
“Please rest our savior.”
After reciting a short prayer,
Ardena looked at her determinedly as she pierced the first priest’s heart with the tip of her sword.
There was no characteristic tingling sensation.
As if stabbing her rotten tree with a knife,
Even though she stabbed her living body, all she could feel was dry and cold in her hands. Is it because of that? She didn’t feel like stabbing anyone.
“Whoa….”
Ardena let out a sigh of hers.
She stabbed Ann Syd deep in the heart.
She pushed the sharp blade halfway up and tightened her hands around her hilt.
Did 10 seconds pass like that? With a crackling sound, cracks began to form in Ann Seed’s body, which had become integrated with her limbs tied to the World Tree’s internal tissue.
Shit. Awesome!!!
It was like an old tree being split.
Microscopic cracks like a spider’s web grew on Anne Cid’s body, and El Cid’s power and authority, which had been sealed inside the World Tree, began to be released explosively, losing its direction.
“Master, this is….”
“As the vessel containing my powers and powers collapsed, the opportunity for victory finally arrived.”
At the same time as Anne Sid’s body was put to rest, the bowl of the World Tree was shattered.
Now the succession begins.
The powers and powers that have lost their vessel will seek out a new vessel in which they can contain themselves.
However, this method is very inefficient. Originally, El Cid sacrificed himself to pass on all his powers and powers to Ardena, but as the plan eventually failed, he smashed the vessel of the World Tree and bizarrely twisted it in the direction of passing on his powers and powers. To be.
“Then now….”
“Accept all the powers and powers that come into your body. The powers and powers that you could not obtain will be retrieved by this master in your stead.”
El held Ardena’s hand.
And nodded her head.
It was to instill confidence in the disciple who felt weak fear.
“I will accept your strength and powers.”
The release of powers and powers that began with the collapse of the vessel.
A dark green glow overflowed.
It was the same color as the enormous amount of vitality emitted by the World Tree.
Ardena let go of the hilt of her sword and embraced with her whole body the power and authority of El Cid pouring out of her finally rested body. The rite of passage, which began with a strong halo of light, started very suddenly, but Ardena never backed down.
‘I will never disappoint Master with the strength and authority that Master has entrusted to me. Come, I will never run away. Accept all I am Ardena Valencia, the guardian sword of the priestess, and the guardian shield that protects her compatriots.’
She chose Ardena as a vessel to contain her vast amount of power and authority.
The person closest to the collapsed vessel,
A being suitable to be a new vessel,
Enough to replace El Cid.
The intangible energies that judged that way accepted Ardena as her master. At the same time, the life force of the World Tree also gathered in Ardena’s body and became unified.
‘As expected, the powers and powers that lost their vessels are rushing to Ardena like a runaway…. If Ardena had pierced my heart with a holy sword, her powers and powers would have readily acknowledged Ardena as superior and obeyed, but she simply lost her vessel and her powers and powers would never obey Ardena. They won’t show up.’
As expected by El, the powers and powers that lost her vessel recognized Ardena as her new vessel, but at the same time showed a rebellion against Ardena.
I will only accept it as a new vessel,
Because it was not acknowledged as the true owner.
The resistance of the powers and authorities soon became a resistance and gave Ardena extreme pain.
“Keuuheugh, keuheugh! Aagh!!”
Ardena let out her screams.
But for a while,
Biting her molars tightly, Ardena held back her screams and raised her head again, which had been lowered for a moment.
Ardena’s blonde hair, which had been boasting a vivid golden color even in the torrent of energy that raged like a storm, was dyed light purple. The ends of her hair, down to her waist, were beginning to take on a light purple hue.
Wooooo!!!
The blue jeweled holy sword trembled.
A brilliant flash of light emanated from the jewel, and at the same time, it emitted a clear and clear sword river.
The oath of the elves, the incarnation of El Cid.
It was a celebration of the holy sword that announced that the second El Cid had finally been born. And the white flower armor that Ardena was wearing also gave off her dark green light, indicating that her master had begun to take a step toward the realm of El Cid.
“… Stored enough power. If it’s too painful to endure, you can give up.”
Perhaps Ardena’s body, which serves as her vessel, could not endure,
Concerned about that, L opened her mouth.
But Ardena did not stop.
It was not because she was obsessed with power and the desire to pursue power, but because she wanted to live up to the expectations of her master who trusted her.
‘More, a little more…. To the limit that my body can endure, no, even beyond the limit… I will live up to Master’s expectations and Yushin’s dedication!’
A little more power,
Even a little more vast powers,
I will put it in this body that is about to break at any moment.
For all those who have sacrificed and worked hard to reach this moment. He showed Gilead’s unstoppable spirit of restoration, saying that even if his body collapsed because he could not overcome the resistance of power and authority, he would endure until the end.
* * *
After relaying the situation inside her sanctuary to the outside, Liana entered the sanctuary again.
Numerous monsters were boiling.
It meant that the sanctuary, which was a sacred space for the elves, had fallen into the hands of demons.
Most of the sentinels defending the sanctuary have died. The monsters, who finally got rid of the nasty hindrance, began aiming for the World Tree like a wave. The appearance of the monsters starting to climb the huge tree reminded me of a swarm of ants.
Grrrrrr.
That’s it that pole. That’s it!
It devours the life force of the Liberia Peninsula.
The monsters who depend only on gluttony preyed on the World Tree, the source of their power.
It was also the target of the magician who commanded the demons made of shadows. This is because the moment the World Tree of the Sanctuary dries up, devoured by ravenous monsters, the Liberia Peninsula will return to the land of the dead, where only devastation and starvation exist.
“Oh, no! A filthy monster——!!!”
Liana let out a scream mixed with screams.
The world tree fell at the hands of the demons.
That meant the fall of the elves.
The splendid legacy of the Elves, who survived Savnak’s offensive, cannot be idly watched as they are eaten by filthy monsters. Liana pulled out two swords and mercilessly cut down the monsters that stood in the way.
“Rosta warrior leader!”
Liana shouted loudly.
After breaking through hundreds of demons, Liana was able to join Rostar, who was fighting with 30 guards.
Rosta was covered in blood all over.
It was bleeding gushing from the wounds inflicted by Vortigan. He was in a state where he had to stop fighting and receive treatment immediately, but Rostar kept his teeth clenched and swung Veronica’s shield to protect his allies.
“You’re all right, Junior Liana.”
“Yes… , But the Rostar Warriors….”
“It’s okay! This much is fine.”
Rosta struggled to smile.
But her complexion was very pale.
Could it be because the bleeding continued? She staggered her body as if she would collapse at any moment.
If you fight any longer, your life is in danger. He might lose his life from excessive bleeding before being eaten by monsters. Even so, the leading shield soldier with a shield never let go of his shield until he saved all his allies from being threatened by the enemy.
“The shield… , Until the enemy’s attack is over, you must never let go. The moment the shield soldier can let go of the shield… , It’s time to block all the attacks that threaten our allies… !”
He struggled to raise his wobbly legs and leaned on the shield standing in front of him.
The enemy’s momentum knows no bounds,
Allies are in a situation where they are driven to the slopes.
How could he let go of his shield in an unfavorable situation? Even if I die from spilling blood, I will not let go of the sacred shield that protects my allies.
“But now no more….”
Liana turned her head to look at her world tree.
Her vitality was gradually being lost due to the darkly swarming monsters.
Is there any hope in this situation?
Is it okay to wish for a miracle when all sides are blocked by despair and disadvantage?
Even in a desperate situation, Liana did not let go of her hope and helped Rosta to defeat her monsters.
When I didn’t give up hope,
A miraculous change occurred in the World Tree, which had been encroached upon by demons.
Kwahu Classes, Friends, and Friends, Kuisu, and Fourth!
At the heart of the World Tree, the jinnok radiance began to tear apart those who tried to violate the sacredness in an instant.
Thousands and tens of thousands of people,
The spectacle of being swept away all at once while being caught in a storm of halo of light was indeed a phenomenon worthy of being called a miracle.
