Chapter 13: The Girl's Regrets
Distance.
The original small hill has been crushed into a flat "sandy land" by the floating sand city.
Wei gasped slightly. Lijie was beside him, holding his shoulders.
"Do you still want to fight?" The girl's eyes narrowed.
"The legends haven't decided yet," Wei said, "how can I ...... Sit on one's hands. ”
Even if it's to keep her for Okade, she must not be allowed to run away casually! Wei clenched his fists.
"Very well," the girl laughed almost at the persistence of her other self, "then I'll end this fight at once." ”
It would be nice to be able to use the "Buddha-figure Descent...... The girl thought with regret.
The goal of the "Buddha-figure advent" is too big.
At first, I didn't use "Avatar Descent" because I didn't want to cause too much commotion, but now I can't use it to avoid being discovered by legendary casters in battle.
Skirmishes are happening everywhere, but a dragon that suddenly appears will still attract too many eyeballs.
……
Legends on the battlefield.
The first to recover from shock and launch an attack on the betrayer Lord of the Clouds was Emperor Dietford III. The "Celestial Instrument" set off a blazing storm and stabbed at the Lord of the Clouds.
The Lord of Cloud Wing used two legendary spells to attack the White Dragon King and the Lord of the Galaxy at the same time, and for a while, there was no additional spiritual power to cast more legendary spells. The shield he hastily activated lasted for a few seconds before it shattered under the stormy onslaught of the Celestial Instrument.
When his body shattered, the Lord of Cloud Yong smiled on his face.
He won.
Sacrificed one of the two bodies, destroyed one of the cards of the French Nation, and killed the Lord of the Galaxy.
……
Chancellor Friedrich and Stewart also left their opponents behind and rushed to the place where the Lord of the Galaxy was. The "prison master" and Mr. Kim also did not pursue.
"Go pick up Sham." Speaker Nicholas instructed Ionia on the side. Ionia flew towards the place where Sham's other body was.
Speaker Nicholas himself was staring at Empress Lichenda. The furious Empress Ligenta slashed one after another, and if Dietford III's attack was described as raindrops, Lichenda's attack was like a sea of waves at high tide. Emerald green chains emerged from Nicholas's side along with a dark green mist.
But none of the attacks could hit Nicholas. Before those sword lights got close to Nicholas, it was as if they had crashed into an invisible "vortex", and there was an invisible net that made the speed of many sword lights slower and slower.
"The speed and power are amazing," Nicholas said to himself, "but not that he can't handle it." ”
Nicholas dodged the sword light and the green chains for a long time. Lichenda failed to succeed in a round of attacks, and when she saw that Mr. Kim and the prison master were already flying towards her, she also chose to retreat.
"That's your plan?" "The prison master" said sarcastically.
"Your plan has worked." Mr. Kim remained silent.
A few seconds later, the remaining bodies of Ionia and the Lord of the Clouds also flew to Speaker Nicholas. Sham, the Lord of the Clouds, wanted to say something to the Speaker, but when he saw the situation on the side of the French power, he was shocked again.
He also ...... Alive? ”
"It's really hidden." A hint of gloom flashed in Nicholas's eyes.
……
The Emperor, Empress, Chancellor, and Stewart gathered around the Lord of the Galaxy.
The sudden attack of the Lord of the Cloud Wing cost him half of his body.
But...... He was visibly still breathing. Even the amount of bleeding began to decrease.
The remaining half of the Lord of the Galaxy gradually became translucent, surrounded by a pale blue halo, and a little starlight flowed through his body.
"You've found out." The Lord of the Galaxy muttered.
"It's not like a change or a protective spell." Mr. King on the federal side was surprised.
"Of course not," the "prison master" sneered, "I understand why he was able to lose half his body and still be alive." François Solidar, Lord of the Galaxy...... He is not 'human' at all. ”
……
When Elrios was founded, several legendary mages followed him, including Elrios's own brother, Emile Elrios, and Solidar, who was skilled in educating his descendants and nurturing magical creatures.
With the help of Elrios, Solidar possessed an entire half-plane and collected strange creatures from across the continent.
Earth, fire, water, and wind are more common for mages, and most mages of the aether element may not encounter one in their lifetime. When Solidar encountered several "star elements" that were rarer than the aether element, he did not hesitate to send them into his half-plane.
Time flies, Solidar has long since died, and even his family has declined. Finally, in his half-plane, a newborn star elemental escaped by chance.
His only companion is the Frost Phoenix, who also escaped from the Half-Plane.
Using his racial talents, the Star Elemental transformed himself into a human and named himself "François". It was the name of the first human he had encountered since leaving the Half-Plane.
For the astral elementals, life in the half-plane is comfortable and happy. But François preferred his life as a human being. He grew up like other gifted mages in Elrios, graduating from the academy and gradually growing into one of the brightest figures in the entire kingdom of law. He has a wife of his own and has adopted two children. He became the headmaster of the academy, and even the last descendants of the Solidar family benefited from him.
No one doubted that his surname was "Solidar".
Even his wife and friends don't know his true race.
In the French Power Nation, only the former Chief Mage, Van Ran, the Lord of the Blue Sky, knew about this. When François progressed to Legend and entered the Council of Elrios Mages, Vane wanted to tell his colleagues about it, but François refused.
Vane regretted this for a long time. In Vane's view, the French Kingdom is like an all-encompassing sky, and it is a matter of pride to have a legendary mage of elemental creatures.
……
Now, under severe injury, François has reverted back to his elemental form. Several legends surrounded him.
Human limbs and facial features have disappeared. At this time, François is like the starlight flowing in a blue river, and its beauty makes people admire it from the heart.
However, even for a Legendary elemental creature, losing more than half of its mass in one go is still a heavy blow. The starlight in his body trembled, as if it would go out at any moment.
He didn't even have the stamina to revert back to human form.
Suddenly.
A clear birdsong is as refreshing as fairy music.
The ice phoenix flew towards him and landed on François' shoulder. There are crystal snowflakes sliding down from the delicate wings of the ice phoenix.
"Don't be sad, my old friend," muttered François, "and ......"
I'm sorry to lie to you for so long, François thought to himself.
I wanted to keep this secret until the last minute.
Speaker Nicholas, who saw all this, laughed.
"It's ridiculous," he said aloud, "that the legendary mage of the kingdom of law, the symbol of humanity's highest glory, is an elemental creature!" ”
"I'm proud of where I came from." The Lord of the Galaxy uttered a hazy voice.
"Enough. You're the only legendary mage among elemental creatures for millennia," Nicholas said, "and I'll give you one more chance." Submit to me, François, as your people once obeyed Elrios and Solidar. I'll spare your life. You won't have to hide anymore, the star element. From now on, you can show your true face, and no one will suspect you because of your race. ”
"I'......," said the Lord of the Galaxy, "I've always wanted to be a human. I've been doing this for years. I am the legendary mage of Elrios, and I will never surrender to you, Nicholas. ”
"I can't imagine that a 'foreigner' like you can also be infected by a stupid culture of human supremacism," Nicholas shook his head, "and that's it." I'm not interested in that. But, François, you have to ...... for your children The students of the college considered it. ”
"What do you want to do with them?" The star elemental's naturally gentle voice changed abruptly.
"If you surrender to me, I will give them a chance to surrender," Nicholas said coldly, "and if you resist to the end, I will kill them all." Choose, Star Elemental. ”
There was not a hint of emotion in Nicholas's voice. His eyes were like a pitch-black abyss, looking down on everyone present.
"And the same goes for all of you in the Empire. Albina, Caterina, and Dimiteo are all in the White City. If you submit to me, your blood will be preserved. Otherwise...... Everything will be destroyed. ”
François smiled.
Dietford III and Empress Lichenda also laughed. Even the two bureaucratic legendary mages, Stewart and Friedrich, looked dismissive.
Everyone finally understood.
No amount of rhetoric can change Nicholas's brutal nature. There must be no compromise with him, just as there is no trade with the devil.
"It seems that you will not accept my generous offer." Nicholas shook his head.
"Please fight with me one more time, old friend." François said. The Ice Phoenix let out a soft cry in agreement.
This will be their last battle.
"Now you're the Chief Mage, Stewart," he whispered, "this scroll will give you the power to activate the Guardian Circle. However, now that we are outnumbered, I guess they won't give you a chance. I'll try to protect you...... If I can't hold on, use the last resort. ”
The flowing starlight rolled a quaint cyan scroll and sent it into Stewart's hand. Including the core of the guardian array, the secrets accumulated by the French power over the millennium are all in it.
"Stubborn resistance." Speaker Nicholas looked at this scene indifferently.
François was unmoved. Erios ...... It will not fall on this ground.
He had never used it in his life, and the racial talent of the star element was activated.
Under everyone's gaze, François, Lord of the Stars...... Turned into a vast silver galaxy.
