Chapter 43: The Second Seal

At this moment, Ness suddenly noticed that the figure of Hall, who was still smiling, also began to blur. "What's going on?" Ness looked back at her companion in surprise.

I saw that Fern was also watching Kaya, who was sitting in front of him, fade away with a surprised expression, his hands still holding the girl's hand, but only for a moment, there was only air left in Fern's hands. The mercenary looked at his palm, still reminiscing about the feeling of holding Kaya tightly.

Lil, who was in Stan's arms, disappeared at the same moment, and Stan looked around blankly, only to realize that his companions were in the same situation.

Only then did the four of them realize that Dias and his men had also disappeared together, and even the corpses of the Crow Regiment's mercenaries and Doyle soldiers that covered the ground, along with the weapons inserted in the corpses, had quietly disappeared.

The water in the river slowed down, no longer turbulent, the sound of gurgling water passed by, and everything was so calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

"It's ...... Are all the illusions gone?" Ness looked at Rui noncommittally.

"It should be, so to speak. Rui thought for a moment, then looked up. "Did we succeed?"

"But we haven't gotten the seal yet. Ness raised her wand, and the top jewel was still blue.

"What's that?" Fern pointed not far away to the spot where the hunter's body had fallen.

Inside a freshly dug hole is a small metal box that looks about the size of a badge. Ness walked over and gently picked up the box, returning to her companions.

"The hunter still wants to bury the box, even with his last breath left. Fern sighed, impressed by his former friend.

Ness held the box in both hands and looked at her companion at a loss.

"Open it, whatever is inside. Fern encouraged Ness.

Niss nodded slightly, holding the box with her left hand, and slowly opened the lid with her right hand, only to see that there was a yellow base in the box, and in the middle of the base, there was a ring upright, and the ring was inlaid with a yellow gemstone, in addition, the ring was simple and without any decoration.

Ness carefully took out the ring, for some reason, as if the ring was conscious, and she wanted to wear it very strongly. Ness looked at her companions, mustered up courage, and put the ring on the ring finger of her left hand. The ring was the perfect size for Ness's finger, as if it had been made for her.

Just as Ness was wearing the ring, the yellow of the gems on the ring began to fade, Ness suddenly thought of something, raised her wand, and sure enough, found that the gems on the wand began to slowly change from the original blue to cyan. As the gems on the ring faded and faded until they finally became transparent, the gems on Ness's wand had turned green.

"It's ...... Finally ......" Ness's voice trembled, finally getting what they wanted after so much pain.

A buzz sounded in front of everyone, and a whirlpool appeared, and as the sound grew louder, the whirlpool grew larger, just like the whirlpool where Fern and the others entered the source of magic.

"It's over. Fern exhaled heavily, then looked at his wounds. "Everything is gone, but the wound remains. ”

Stan holds his sword on the ground to steady himself, and his left foot hurts badly. "Let's go, back to our world, where it still doesn't end. ”

Fern nodded approvingly, and took Stan's left hand and placed it on his shoulder, and the two of them limped towards the whirlpool, Ness and Ray silently following.

When he reached the door, Fern stopped. "Ness, Ray, you go first, Hesey should be waiting there. ”

"No, Fern, you go first. Rui regained his composure, and the fragile girl who had been in front of Moses just now was gone.

Fern smiled helplessly, "Are you still afraid that I will be nostalgic here? ”

"Let's go, Ray, I trust Fern. Ness looked at Fern and smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, I'm still here, let's get over here. Stan's face contorted with pain, as if he was about to lose it.

Rui glanced at Fern and said no more, and slowly walked into the whirlpool with Ness. Watching the two figures disappear into the whirlpool, Stan urges Fern, "Let's go too." ”

Fern turned his head to take one last look at where Kaya had been sitting, and smiled in relief.

It was already late in the sky at the source of magic, it was already evening, and the whole sky illuminated by the sunset on the horizon was bright red fiery clouds, and even the water in the river shone with the brilliance of the setting sun. The wind from the north was still blowing, but the chill was no longer felt.

"It's a magical being, everything seems to have existed, I really don't know what magic is, I'm afraid I'll never understand. Stan also turned his head to look at the scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm now beginning to suspect that these are not illusions, but that they are real, and that there is another parallel world that coexists with our world. Fern looked at the sunset in the distance and said meaningfully.

"Hope you're wrong. Stan frowned, the pain in his left foot bringing him back to his senses. "Thinking that Lil in this world is real and killed, I definitely can't be as calm as I am now. ”

"How many tribulations does a person have to go through to find his inner peace, not to be haunted by it like we are. Fern turned his head and stopped looking at the scenery in the distance.

"I don't know in the future, but at least for now, in this world, we can look at everything calmly, even if we all stubbornly think that everything here is just an illusion. Stan turns his head and looks back at the maelstrom in front of him.

"Maybe one day, in our world, we will be able to look at everything in the world as calmly as we do now after a catastrophe. Fern tugged Rastan's arm, put him back in place, and walked towards the whirlpool.

"There will come a day, Fern, and I assure you in the honor of a knight. Stan held Fern in his left hand and his greatsword in his right, walking step by step.

In a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, the figures of the two men slowly disappeared into the whirlpool under the light of the setting sun.

The vortex shrank and shrunk again, disappearing with a softer and lighter beep, and for Fern and them, the world of the source of magic was forever frozen in this moment.
