Chapter Seventy-Seven: Promises
One less planet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The war has almost come to an end, and everyone is hopeful.
The president of the Magma Star People's Congress was killed in battle, and the fleet led by him was also scattered, at least in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no suspense in this war.
However, in the heavily guarded Shaoweiyi Medical Center, Astra and Leo have to face a farewell moment.
Like an ordinary and serene old man, Als lay weakly on the hospital bed, even if he did not approach, he could feel that his life was gradually ending, and life was irretrievably draining from his body little by little.
It's hard to associate this old man with the mighty Lionheart, who looks so weak. And the Lionheart King once wielded a sword that was enough to slash the planet, boundless. Strong and weak, originally two diametrically opposed parties, but both showed him.
With his gray hair combed behind his head and the wrinkles on his face like tree bark, Leo and Astra sat silently on the edge of the bed, their hearts aching like knives.
Before they knew it, their father was so old.
Although he is still so strong, he has lost his identity as a giant, and now he is just a frail old man. Astra looked at her father's appearance, and her brain was in a trance. It was as if a pair of hands were holding his throat, and he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he choked up a little.
"Here we are..."
Ars's sharp gaze fell on Astra and Leo, and he turned his head as he lay back, smiling weakly and haggardly at them.
"You've all grown up... Truly understanding the true meaning of power, it is really enough to shoulder the burden of the royal family. ”
Lohrik's heart-piercing sword seemed to take away all the vitality of Ars, but it couldn't take away the momentum of being a king, and it couldn't take away the essence in his eyes, which all proved that he was still the king.
The king of the entire L77 nebula!
"Father... You're going to be fine, are you? Astra clutched the quilt and spoke a little timidly and eagerly. He was afraid of his father, but he was eager to hear from him an answer like "safe and sound."
"Astra... There is an end to life after all..."Als said with a slight sigh, but open-mindedly
"My life is enough, I have written my own legend... Now that you've all grown up, I'm glad that you can finally master that power. ”
"The old lion king will die eventually, but Leo and Astra, you are still so young, and your life has just begun..."
"The legend that belongs to you has just drawn the first stroke..."
Ars is strict and often unsmiling, which is why Astra is a little afraid of him. Now that the limitations of his identity have been abandoned, Ars has shown his father's warmth and pure entrustment, but he didn't expect it to be the last time.
As the door opened, Leo stepped out and came to Tetsuya.
"Master Tetsuya... Father, please come in..."
After a slight pause, Tetsuya nodded, and without saying anything more, followed Leo into the hospital room.
At that time, he took Ars to seize the Meta realm, and there was really no way, after such a tragic battle, Nexus's energy was already running out. If he hadn't opened the Meta realm in danger, he would have been sniped to death by Loerlik.
It's very clear that when Tetsuya opened the realm and fell into it, he was already exhausted and released from the transformation state.
As you can imagine, the situation was urgent.
The door opened, and the first thing Tetsuya saw was Astra with red eyes, and when he saw Tetsuya walking in, he took the initiative to stand up and salute Tetsuya.
Tetsuya's gaze collided with Ars's, and before he could react, the latter suddenly grinned.
"I knew... You're the one you're waiting for..."
Tetsuya touched his head a little inexplicably, bowed slightly, and spoke; "The king... What does this mean? ”
"It's been too long... I've forgotten how many years have passed—" Als struggled to sit up straight, smiling and shaking his head, speaking inexplicable.
His eyes turned to Leo and he said, "Leo, help me get those two things..."
Leo paused, nodded, and pushed the door open.
And Ars looked at Tetsuya with a smile and said, "I know your purpose..."
The expression on Tetsuya's face paused, and he didn't know what to say for a while, looking a little overwhelmed.
"I..."
"It's to get back what it used to be, right?" Ars smiled and said, shaking his head again and saying, "I really didn't expect that after such a long time, you still came." ”
"Rest assured, I, the Lionheart, am also a man who keeps his promises... I still remember the promise made hundreds of thousands of years ago. ”
At this moment, the door opened, and Leo walked in solemnly holding a wooden box, stopping in front of Tetsuya.
"Open it," Als waved his hand.
Tetsuya was a little stunned, and pointed at himself in disbelief, only to see Als nodding affirmatively.
"It's weird... Listening to the meaning of King Ars's words, it seems to know that I will come... Would want that thing..."
Ars's performance was too confusing to Tetsuya, but the wooden box in front of him was in front of Tetsuya, and he simply put aside these thoughts and opened the slender prismatic wooden box.
His breath was short, and for a moment...
Sword... Sword of the Lionheart!
Isn't that the purpose of Tetsuya's trip?
Noticing that there was a beautifully carved wooden box inside the prismatic wooden box, Tetsuya looked back at Als in confusion.
The latter smiled and nodded, without the slightest abnormality, as if encouraging Tetsuya to open it and take a look.
After a slight pause, Tetsuya quickly opened the wooden box, and a fist-sized red crystal lay inside, reflecting a beautiful red in the sunlight. His fingers touched the red crystal slightly, and the majestic sense of energy made Tetsuya stunned, and a guess appeared in Tetsuya's mind.
"This is... Lion's Heart? ”
Ars smiled and nodded, agreeing with Tetsuya's judgment.
"This... Want to give it to me? Tetsuya stared at the old man lying on the hospital bed in surprise, not knowing what to say.
Why is Leo, Astra, and even Ars's transformation rings called Lion's Eyes?
The reason is that it is inlaid with a red crystal containing strange energy, and the source of this crystal is the heart of a lion lying quietly in a wooden box.
Tetsuya only had to think about it to understand that the importance of this thing to the L77 Nebula was even far from being comparable to the Lionheart Sword.
Even if the Lionheart Sword is a weapon forged from the fragments of the Zodiac Sword, how can it compare to the importance of the Lionheart? Just think about the title of Ars and know how important this thing is in his mind.
But now... But suddenly said that he wanted to give it to Tetsuya?
Als didn't have too many fluctuations, but looked open and waved his hand openly.
"Take it, it's yours."
"Although hundreds of thousands of years have passed, I have not forgotten a word of my original promise..."
