-- Just like planned, everything was perfect.

The unscathed half-elf girl was lying in her arms at this time, and the terrible knight rushed into the cold lightless world, never to be seen in front of them again.

The word of the god also showed a strange light, as if the next moment the door that had been closed for countless years would open, and the second fragment of the god would come to the master with joy.

But at this time, an inexplicable fear welled up in her heart.

As if she was about to lose something unusually important, the heart in her chest tightened violently, her brain gradually paralyzed, and the silent warning spread throughout her body, making her whole body stiffen.

"Summer ......"

The half-elf girl whispered on her chest, softly calling out her name, and her voice was so sweet and moving.

As if sensing something, Xia suddenly raised his head!

Passing over the slender shoulders of the half-elf girl, a little black light appeared in her pupils.

The sound of bubbles popping, the familiar piercing sensation came from her chest, and an ominous damp heat followed, soaking the hem of her chest.

"Ahem......"

She coughed weakly, a little blood spurting out of her mouth.

The absolute defensive white light fended off this fatal attack, and did not let her be pierced by the divine light.

In addition to the concussion in her chest, her mental power was instantly weakened to the limit, her mind was dizzy, and her hands could barely hold the lover in her arms.

At the same time, the spear in the knight's hand disappeared in the void with a ray of light, and disappeared into the space-time circle with the black horse.

Then she felt her arms grow heavier, and the soft body in her arms was sliding down.

"It's ...... My blood? ”

She raised a hand, looked at the bright red blood on it, and thought blankly.

"Na...... Nana? ”

She lowered her hand and shouted the name of the half-elf girl in a trembling voice.

Didn't get an answer.

Great fear rose from the heart. Little by little, she lowered her head.

In front of her eyes was a bright red hole.

This hole is like a demon's eye, embedded deep in the chest of the half-elf girl, and you can see through the void hole that the transparent barrier stained with blood below, and a shocking pool of blood seeps out from under the girl's body, gradually covering the surrounding ground.

"-Nana!!"

Xia didn't know where the strength came from, so he hugged the half-elf girl horizontally like crazy.

"That's right! Foliage. I still have the leaves of the World Tree! ”

She reached out and tore open her fanny pack, from which a pile of items dropped, most of which were soaked in blood from the ground.

The leaves of the World Tree are a magical item that can bring the dead back to life.

As soon as the emerald green leaf was placed on top of the terrible blood hole, the flesh in the heart began to recover, and it was amazingly fast.

It didn't take long for a snow-white patch of skin to emerge from the chest, and it looked like the hole would soon be filled.

"Summer ......"

Replenished with a large amount of life force, Natya Vida woke up from her fainting.

Seeing the silver-haired girl crying, she raised a hand with difficulty. Gently placed it on the back of the other person's hand.

"Look at me, don't look down!"

Seeing her lover wake up, Xia's tears couldn't stop gushing out, grabbed her hand and choked up:

"Soon, it will be fine soon, I have used leaves that can bring the dead back to life, and I can definitely heal your wounds......"

"By the way, I have three leaves! You only took one slice. There should be two pieces left! ”

Natsu rummaged through the ground again and quickly picked up a leaf soaked in bright red blood. Trying to put it on Natia Vida's wound.

But her movements were stopped by the other party.

"Don't waste it, it's useless."

Natia Vida said to her in a small voice:

"Keep it...... This is something that can save your life, don't waste it on me. ”

"How can it be a waste?"

Xia felt that the hand was very resolute, and if he forcibly broke away, it would inevitably affect the injury, so he had to say anxiously: "Look, your injury is about to heal......"

Her gaze moved to the other's chest. Suddenly, I noticed that the skin there was not as restored as it was at the beginning, but gradually became transparent.

Not only the wound, but the entire body of the half-elf girl emitted a golden faint light, which was dispersing towards the surroundings little by little.

"What happened?"

The lich awoke from his deep thoughts and saw the maiden lying on the ground.

The others were stunned by this time. None of them, including Sadonan, who had always been calm, were unable to move, and no one knew what to do at this time.

"It's ......"

The lich originally wanted to go over and cast a necromancy, but after seeing the glimmer of light emanating from the girl's surroundings, he slowly lowered the staff in his hand.

"I'm sorry on a lot of things...... I lied to you. ”

Natya Vida looked at Xia and said softly:

"You know, when I was at the Baron's Palace, I poured the basin of cold water that Bella was abyssing."

"I've known the hints, but I've always acted on my own volition...... I was also deliberately shot just now...... Luckily, as I expected, you weren't hurt. ”

There was relief in her voice.

"Don't talk, rest well, you'll be fine!!"

Natsu stopped her from continuing to speak, and used her telekinesis to manipulate the leaf of the World Tree to float and cover her transparent body.

"You're always doing your own thing, and you don't listen to what people are talking about......"

Natyavida let out a long sigh.

With the contact of the leaves, the body of the girl who was becoming transparent condensed a lot, but those golden points of light became more vigorous, constantly escaping outward, each point of light took away the girl's vitality, and it didn't take long for the leaves to be consumed.

-- The legendary precious props that can bring the dead back to life can only be delayed for a little time here, and they will not have the desired effect at all.

"I made up my mind."

Natyavida coughed up the blood, which turned into points of light and dispersed before it hit the ground:

"I thought about it for a long time after you gave me that leaf; Finally decide to wait for your life to run out...... Do this again. ”

She put her hand on Natsu's face and stroked her cheeks full of tears:

"But you said you weren't going to die because of time. I'm relieved......"

"Why, why!"

Natsu knelt there and wept silently, and when he heard her words, he hissed and shouted:

"Didn't we say we were going to be together forever? Why are you so ruthless and leave me alone! ”

"It's a test we have to go through, Natsu."

The half-elf girl's voice lowered:

"Why be sad?"

She seems to have exhausted her strength:

"I've been thinking about how nice it would be if you only had me."

"But now. My mood was the opposite. Forget about me and live well with them, I'm ...... Maybe I can't be by your side like I used to......"

The silver-haired girl shook her head desperately, choked and speechless.

"Sing me a song."

Natya Vida's eyes gradually lost their brilliance:

"It's the one you sang to me that night, I really like it......"

"Nana? Nana? ”

Natsu held her breath.

The half-elf girl didn't reply, just lay there quietly, her eyes slowly closed, and she looked like she was asleep.

But no matter how much Natsu shouted and shook after that, she didn't open her eyes again.

"Nana ......"

The silver-haired girl slammed her head on the ground.

I want to grab the other person's hand. But it was a no-brainer.

The half-elf girl's body had become a transparent outline, and her facial features were gradually blurred, and countless tiny points of light clustered around her, slowly accumulating there, and finally turning into a golden soul.

"Summer."

An ethereal voice came from the air.

Natsu stopped crying, looked up with swollen crying eyes, and saw the half-elf girl smiling at her.

"I'm leaving soon."

The maiden's soul said:

"Let me listen to that song again......"

Her hand tried to caress the other's face as usual, but it passed straight through the tear-stained face.

The soul withdrew its hand. Sadness looked at his arm.

Half of the golden arm was gone, both spirit and magic. After coming into contact with the summer, it will be eliminated by her physique.

Xia stood up from the ground in a daze.

I wanted to reach out and touch my lover's soul, but when I thought of the scene just now, I retracted my hand with tears in my eyes.

The curse left behind by the Black Calamity gradually dissipated.

For some reason, after the darkness cleared, it suddenly rained heavily in the empty temple.

The rain wet the girl's silver hair, and she stood in the rain and sang softly:

With a sigh, you turn away

With a heavy heart, he was speechless

You will find ...... The world has changed forever

The trees turn from green to yellow

The sun is fading

I pray to hold you, tighter and tighter......

In her singing. The golden soul smiled reassuringly.

The illusory body slowly rose upward, and soon turned into a small point of light, hidden in the dark water.

"Bang!"

The door branded with the word of God suddenly opened without warning.

"Wha-I'm finally out!"

A white object floated into the temple from within, babbling and shouting.

"Wow, the master is there!"

It saw the silver-haired girl standing in the rain. A sound of joy floated in her direction.

"Come here!"

As soon as he was halfway up, he was caught by the little Lori in black, and then hurriedly dragged it aside, signaling it not to make a sound.

"Deceitful ...... It's all a lie. ”

The silver-haired girl looked up in the rain and muttered:

"-- What leaves can bring the dead back to life."

"- What will always be together?"

"So you're all lying to me...... You're all lying to me......"

Her legs softened, and she slowly fell to the ground, where she buried her head and sobbed until:

"You're lying to me......"

As she spoke, the undersea temple shook.

The transparent hall is like an elevator through the sea, and it begins to accelerate upward.

"Whoa......

The dome made of crystal slowly opened as it rose out of the sea, and the sound of the waves could be heard in everyone's ears.

The surrounding walls also began to fall outward. The entire temple was transformed into a large platform, which hung above the sea in place of the original island.

During the whole process, the silver-haired girl just lay on the ground and kept sobbing, not caring about the changes around her at all.

She knelt on her knees, her arms barely supporting her body, and her eyes were gray as if she had lost all life.

"Partner. I don't think you have to be so sad at all. ”

The lich walked up to her, looked at her and said:

"The half-elf has found her rightful home, and you should be happy for her."

Hearing its words, the silver-haired girl, who was already numb, suddenly exploded!

"Fei-Nan-Xi-!!"

She jumped up from the ground and reached for the lich's collar!

"You said you would turn us into undead when you couldn't save us, why didn't you do that just now!"

"What bastard? Happy for her? ”

"Nana is dead! Do you understand? ”

The lich stood silently, letting her hold on to herself and vent, silent.

"She's dead......"

Natsu's hands were shaking. Tears welled up again in his dried eyes, and he lowered his head and hissed:

"Why don't you understand this? She's a half-elf, and there's no way she's going to come back from the dead like you! ”

"No, she can."

The lich calmly said:

"And...... She didn't die. ”

Natsu's crying came to an abrupt end.

She jerked her head up and asked in disbelief:

"What did you say?!"

"I'll take a look at the top of that tree, mate."

The lich pointed to the crown of the World Tree with the bones of his hand:

"Maybe you can find something there."

Natsu let go of her hand, wiped her tears, and asked Stephanie for her flight gear. Unleash the Wind Elemental Awakening and rush upwards.

The World Tree is unusually tall, with a massive canopy that appears to be right overhead. But it took a long time to fly up before I saw the first branch sticking out.

"There's something there!"

She saw a sparkle among the dense foliage.

When she got closer, she froze.

The World Tree, which was supposed to be only leaves and branches, bears a new fruit.

Inside this shining fruit, a little girl curled up, as if asleep.

The girl's hair was a familiar black and blue, but it was gradually turning to golden. Her head was buried between her legs, her arms were tightly clasped together, and she looked unusually petite and cute.

"--Genie Reincarnation."

The lich came behind her at some point, looked at the fruit and said:

"The reason why the World Tree is the patron saint tree of the elven clan is not only because it has magical leaves and powerful combat power; Legend has it that as long as the World Tree is still around. Then the elves will never grow old and die. ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

Natsu's mind was in chaos right now, and he couldn't think at all.

"Every elf is endowed with an innate ability when he comes into the world."

The lich seems to be recalling what he has seen before:

"Especially those brave elven warriors and mages, if killed by an evil and powerful enemy in battle, their souls return to this tree, and then re-breed new individuals.

"There's one thing I didn't tell you before, it seems that the target of the half-elf was me."

It tells a shocking truth:

"That is, she wants to die at my hands; It's a pity that my vengeance is gone...... Becoming no longer evil, she shifted her focus to the demigod knight. Hehe, after all, when it comes to killing living beings, we can all be regarded as the most heinous crimes, aren't we? ”

"Master, she's really not dead, she'll wake up again after a while."

A white thing floated in front of Xia's eyes: "There can only be one operator of the information, I can't show you her information, I can ask Sister Stephanie to detect it for you." ”

"Look, master."

The little Lori in black had already prepared the system panel and put it in front of her.

Character Name: Natya Vida. Vicky. Iotarlu

Race: Elf

Level: 0

Current Status: Genie Tensei(1/364999.99)

"Master, the lich is right, you should be happy for her, because her wish has come true, and she is now a true elf!"

The little Lori in black has a very good impression of this half-elf girl, and said with her hands wiping her eyes.

"What's the number in parentheses?"

Xia was not as optimistic as her, and after seeing the string of values, she felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

"Elves are the darlings of heaven and earth, and their conception is a long process of master."

The little Lori in black flashed in her eyes, and the master's question triggered the system keyword:

"364999.99 represents the number of days required for rebirth, which is about ...... according to my calculations"

"Master, I am a fragment of elemental mana, please give me a name."

The white thing flattered and flew up to the silver-haired girl, rubbing it on her shoulder.

Xia looked at it stunned, and the handwriting on the door came to mind.

"The Long Parting ......"

She whispered in her mouth:

"Is that what opens that door......

……

In a dark and lightless world, the silver-white knight lay quietly on the ground.

Its dark horse was far to the side, and it looked like it had lost its breath; The indestructible armor on his body had also become scarred, and there were marks of laceration everywhere, even a small part of the helmet had been cut off.

Not far away, the space slowly tore apart.

A huge scythe reached out of the darkness, its sharp tip pointed mercilessly at the knight on the ground.

The knight didn't seem to see the scythe, but just lay there staring at the dark sky, as if waiting for death to come.

At this moment, a nostalgic voice sounded in his ears:

"Davred...... My lover. ”

"Even if I'm gone, I can't see you on this land...... Where time crosses, where the ocean crosses...... I will be waiting for you forever and ever. ”

These were the last words of the priestess to the knight before they disappeared.
