Chapter 121 of the Finale: Farewell, Julian
Owen did not make any resistance to Julian's invasion, and it was not because Owen himself was also affected by the law of "No Sword Heart Mirror" and was unable to fight, but Owen had long been aware that when Julian crossed the dividing line between the two "realms", he had completely lost his will to fight - it should be said that Julian had completely given up fighting before stepping into the lake of "No Sword Heart Mirror".
As for the holy sword "Eternal Victory" and the magic sword "Tears of Repentance" in Julian's hand, the reason why they were not confiscated by the lake was not because they made a contract with Julian's soul, but in the hands of a master who had no will to fight at all, the danger of the holy and demon double swords was zero, and they were no longer considered weapons by the lake, so they would naturally not be confiscated.
Therefore, Owen calmly watched Julian walk towards him step by step, calmly watching the latter slowly raise the sharp holy sword in his hand...... It wasn't until the sharp pain of the blade piercing through his chest that Owen's face flashed with horror.
"Wow" - spurting out a mouthful of blood, Owen clearly felt that the sword that Julian had stabbed was merciless and extremely heavy, and pierced his heart with a single sword.
Why did Julian stab that deadly sword when he had given up fighting? Owen was puzzled.
But soon, after seeing the decisive expression on Julian's face, Owen seemed to finally understand something.
Letting go of the hand holding the holy sword, and letting the blood in Owen's heart drip down the surface of the lake along the body of the sword, rippling in a circle of blood, Julian also raised the magic sword in his other hand.
This time, instead of inserting the magic sword into Owen's body, he reversed the blade and handed the jet-black hilt to Owen.
After a slight pause, Owen shook his head and didn't pick it up. Owen probably guessed what Julian wanted to do, but he ultimately chose to refuse.
"Owen, do you know the true choice of the Holy Sword?" said Julian calmly.
The subject had been brought up to Owen a few minutes earlier, only to be interrupted by the battle between the Seraphs Uriel and Sophia, at which point Julian had to tell him the truth.
"Actually, from the very beginning, the chosen master of the Holy Sword 'Eternal Victory' was not me, but you, Owen. However, you rejected the Holy Sword from the depths of your subconscious, so the Holy Sword retreated and chose me as its master. Julian said lightly, his expression as if he was recounting a past incident and making a fervent request from his heart, "Now, it's time for the Holy Sword to return to its true owner, so, Owen, please don't say no more." ”
"No!" Owen shook his head resolutely again.
For the Holy Sword to confess to its lord again, it must be based on the premise that the previous master is dead, and Julian's request is simple, which is to let Owen kill him. However, Owen also rejected this very firmly, leaving no room for consideration.
"I've pushed you to this extent, and you still won't do it?" Julian was a little anxious.
"You can't die. I was a dying man, and even if I barely survived this catastrophe, I wouldn't be able to live for more than a few days in this world. And you are different, Julian, you have a long life ahead of you, and you are worth surviving more than I do. Owen replied slightly weakly.
"But my heart is already dead! From the moment I lost Frey, I was nothing more than a living dead!" Julian's tone was pleading, "Owen, no matter how long you live, a day, a minute, a second, you can leave a proud legacy in this world, and for me, every minute and second of life is a painful torment! Since I can't bring Frey back into this world, let me go to her world to accompany her." ”
"Promise him. ”
Before Owen could respond, a smart woman's voice drifted into Owen's ears. Following the prestige, I saw that behind Julian, in the middle of the underground city in his "domain", a slender and graceful woman with a beautiful face was looking at Owen from afar, smiling and nodding.
I don't know if her soul really stayed in the underground city that made her lose her life, or if Julian's obsession made her manifest. At this time, Frey had already shed the dress she wore before she died, and put on the dress worn by ordinary girls, which was unpretentious, but it made her taste even more extraordinary.
That's right, Zi Fei Fish, how do you know the joy of fish?
Owen couldn't help but sigh, he did know from the beginning that Julian wanted him to stop his wish, and he knew Julian's determination to die, but Owen was still obsessed with saving Julian's life. If anyone really wants to die for this, Owen hopes that it is himself who has not lived long. But today, Owen finally understands that he was wrong.
Survival is not necessarily Julian's salvation, but death is the ultimate destination for his liberation.
Thinking of this, Owen no longer hesitated, he took the hilt of the magic sword "Tears of Repentance", reversed the sword body, and stabbed Julian in the heart with a sword, and he was extremely ruthless, without any mercy.
Another large explode of blood splattered out, staining the secluded turquoise waters of the lake crimson.
"Thank you......" Julian's pained expression contained gratitude and relief. Then Julian's body fell backwards, and he fell into the lake with a "poof", and in an instant he sank to the bottom of the lake, and his shadow was no longer visible.
Julian was finally able to unload all his burdens and get a good night's sleep.
After the death of the original owner, the soul mark engraved on the holy sword "Eternal Victory" also disappeared, and at the same time, because the holy sword pierced directly into Owen's heart, under the blood of Owen's heart, another soul mark was rapidly generated on the holy sword.
The simple contract ceremony was completed, and a new master of the Holy Sword was born! The Holy Sword also withdrew from Owen's body, and then the upper body of the sword shone brightly, and the powerful healing power of the Holy Sword was perfectly reflected, and Owen's pierced heart healed, and all the injuries on his body, including the wounds caused in the previous battle with Julian and Uriel, were also recovering at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye.
The master who controlled the "realm" died, and the balance between the two "realms" was broken in an instant. The abandoned underground city is rapidly being swallowed up by the expansion of the calm lake, and the "Burial Sword Tomb" is rapidly collapsing.
At this time, looking from a distance, Owen saw a man and a woman, two young figures who seemed to be nothing, holding hands, snuggling up to each other, smiling and waving goodbye to Owen in the ruins of the rapidly disappearing city.
In response, Owen waved his hand at the two figures that were constantly disappearing.
Farewell, Julian;
Farewell, Frey.
......
The contest between the two "field" powerhouses is over. Back in the real world, back in the dilapidated Papal Palace. Owen stood alone in place. Julian did not leave a corpse, he left his body and soul in the vanished "Burial Sword Tomb", and accompanied Frey forever.
And what Julian left to Owen was the most sincere friendship and absolute trust in addition to the holy sword and the magic sword......
