Chapter 11: Endgame

"I've heard that there are other caravans that have perialyt, and you did the same?" Tumik pressed the tip of his sword against Kodar's neck.

"The Spirit Lord has made a decision, and the Millays will disappear from this world forever!" Kodar replied with a vicious look at Tumik, and had nothing to do with the question.

"Is this your last word?!" Tumik was furious, deciding not to waste any more time, and simply stretched his sword forward, and the blade could pierce Kodar's neck. But just as Tumik was about to avenge his dead companions, he suddenly felt as if he had been punched in the abdomen without defense, and he flew straight out and fell face down to the ground unconscious, and the sword in his hand fell to the side.

I don't know how long it took for Tumik to wake up, and his body was in sharp pain as if his bones had been broken. He forced himself to look forward, and Kodar, who had been lying on the ground, was gone, but another man in a white robe was standing not far away watching him.

"I'm sorry...... It's a little heavier...... I can't let you kill him. It was crisp and pleasant, the voice of a young girl, and she spoke a language that Tumik understood.

"Why didn't you kill me?" asked Tumik.

"Because you, who are half of the Athala bloodline...... Maybe you can understand what I'm saying. The girl replied.

"Not only have you destroyed my home, but you have not spared those who are like me. When Tumik heard her words, he couldn't help but wonder in his head.

"I'm sorry, because we have been acting separately before, so it was Kodar's personal behavior...... I don't think that's right, but you ...... No, it's not right to do it even if it's the people of Milay...... Kodar has his point...... "The girl's words sound a little incoherent, at least not as cold as Kodar but more like a child.

“...... Are you also from Atlah?" Tumik stared at the girl's hooded face.

“...... Yes. The girl was silent for a moment, and then as she spoke, she reached out and took off her hood—a fair face, delicate features, and two thin eyebrows, and the pupils in her turquoise eyes slowly turned into two vertical lines in the sunlight, but like Kodar, she had no hair.

"It's been a long time since the war ended, why do you still do such a thing?" Tumik slowly stood up and looked at the girl standing in front of him.

"To stop the Milai from bringing destruction to the world again. ”

"I don't understand what you mean. Tumik couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

“...... Am I just an Atra in your eyes?" the girl looked directly at Tumik. Tumik stared at her and pondered the meaning of the words, and suddenly he thought of his previous encounter and battle with Kodar. Seeing the change in Tumik's expression, the girl smiled bitterly and continued, "After being reincarnated into this world by Kodar, I am already an existence between life and death, and only the people of Atra can truly see what we are...... You seem to have more Atra's bloodline, so we can talk to ......."

"Is that why the Millays can't see Kodar?" Tumik remembered Ayton and Mir's reactions.

"Kedar is special, although he retains the flesh, he is infinitely close to the essence of the spirit, and he also has the will to intervene in reality independently, so he is called the messenger of the oracle of the spirit lord......"

"I see...... So what is the purpose of your life? Tumik felt that he was becoming less and less able to understand what the girl meant, and asked the first question.

"I hope you live to bring the news out...... Let people find a way to stop Kodar. ”

"Isn't he your leader?" said Tumik, surprised by the girl's words.

"It's different...... Kodar's ideas came from hatred of the Millai...... I used to be a believer in Gnancy...... The Pope has always told us that the Spirit Lord loves everything in the world. To destroy a race...... I am convinced that the Spirit Lord will not issue that kind of oracle ......"

"Listen to what you've said before, there must be a lot of you, right?

"I didn't dare ask...... Kodar has no mercy, and although we have a body, half of our soul comes from Him, so we can't disobey Him......" The girl said as her body began to tremble, "because...... You stabbed Kodar...... I just have it for the time being...... own will...... Can I ...... you Come on...... He wanted to ...... "It became more and more difficult for her to speak.

"Kodar and you have both tried to destroy the Milai, how is he going to do it?" Tumik wanted to know now. The girl opened her mouth but did not make a sound, and a large round hole was suddenly opened in her chest, and the girl looked at the black hand that came out of her chest and then looked at Tumik, revealing that the flesh outside the robe quickly turned black and then scattered without a trace.

"You know enough!" said Kodar's angry voice.

Tumik quickly picked up the weapon that had fallen to the ground and urged the force, but found that he couldn't see where Kodar was, and the silver light in his eyes was gone.

"In the face of the power of the Spirit Lord, you are actually trying to use magic against me!" As soon as the words fell, Tumik suddenly saw a black line appear in front of him, and he instantly jumped back, only to see a long trace of the cuirass from the top right to the bottom left, almost deep enough to penetrate the armor, if it wasn't for the fast flash, this blow might directly split Tumik in half. In the face of the aggressive Kodar, not only did Tumik lose the ability to see him, but he could no longer see the flow of spiritual energy before the magic attack, and the night outside the dense forest was about to fall, and the light was getting weaker and weaker, and now it was the worst situation.

Tumik turned and quickly rushed towards the place where Kakru had fallen, where he had unloaded his backpack with Ayton to make it easier for him to fight, and there was something in the bag that might have helped him get out of his current predicament. Just as Tumik was about to run to the side of the bag, a black blade suddenly appeared on his back and slashed down, Tumik fell to the ground with a cry of pain, and the entire back from his left shoulder to his right waist was as if he had been slashed by a knife, and the wound was deep and bone-deep, and even the armor that covered half of his back and could defend against magical attacks was directly penetrated.

"Go meet your companions!" the victorious Kodar shouted in the Millai language, the black mist pouring out of his body turned into spikes, twisted like snakes, and turned his head to shoot at Tumik lying on the ground.

All the attacks were blocked in front of Tumik, and countless white points of light floated around him from one place to block the incoming attacks, and the two forces collided into white fireworks that flew around with their long tails in tow, and even showed the invisible outline of Kodar's body. Tumik struggled to get up, and some of the light spots touched his skin and immediately merged into his body, and Tumik's eyes lit up with silver again.

"Kakru!?" Tumik turned his head to look at Kakru's body, he recognized the color of the light, which was Kakru's barrier.

Kakru, who had thought he was dead a long time ago, was half-kneeling on the circle, looking at Tumik with Ewen's wooden staff in his left arm. Every line of the circle under his feet emitted a white light, and Kakru's entire body continued to turn into scattered points of light from the bottom to the top in the light of the circle, and the edges of the paper that had already been stained red with blood and painted on the circle continued to turn into ashes towards the center as if it had been burned by fire.

Tumik looked sadly at Kakru, who was gradually disappearing, he knew that after a short reunion, this time was really goodbye, although he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be choked by something.

"That's all I can do...... Live, Tumik!" Kakru smiled at Tumik, then turned his head to look at Ewen beside him, "That's it...... I've kept you waiting, dear ......" With the last words, Kaklu's remaining body suddenly turned into a point of light, and the paper under his feet that had originally drawn the circle was completely turned to ashes.

Kodar frantically attacked the points of light surrounding Tumik, but none of the black qi could break through the line of defense formed by Kakru's life. Standing in the middle, Tumik looked at Kodar outside, and suddenly he noticed a small, hazy figure floating in front of him, glowing with white light, tilting its head as if to observe him. The small figure circled around Tumik twice, then turned around and flew towards Kodar, and countless points of light swept over, Kodar's black body struggled under the impact of countless points of light, and finally was completely scattered. The white dots of light vanished with Kodar, and at last only the white figure flew back to Tumik and nodded at him, and then disappeared as well.

The scarred Tumik looked at everything in front of him, he didn't have the strength to grieve anymore, thinking about the last instructions of the white-robed girl and walking in the direction of Baihui City.
