Chapter 230: Burning the Wasteland: The Lost Lover
Whew-Whew-

Ike dragged his body and raised his head, and a dark shadow descended from the sky, standing right in front of him.
"See you again. The visitor raised his finger and gently wiped it at the corner of his mouth.
Boom!
Ike swallowed his saliva, his heart fluttering.
"Grant!"
Grant is here, but what about Dean Max, who is the enemy of him?
"Ahem!" Ike coughed violently at the thought of this, and looked around blankly.
Aragorn and the others were still desperate, but when Grant appeared, everything was useless. He alone can make the scales of the battlefield fall!
"I said," Grant made a Caracalla sound as he stepped on his metal boots, "this is your second test." β
Smack!
Standing one step away from Ike and Ellie, Grant raised his head, "It's fate that bets!"
"Looks like you've run out of luck, though. Grant muttered, a glint in the corner of his eye.
"Aren't you just trying to kill me?
Glancing at Ike, Grant snorted.
"I thought you'd be more mature, but I didn't expect you to be the same as before!
Listening to him shout and curse, Ike's anger burned.
What qualifications does he, a traitor, have to preach?
"The tide is gone. Grant sighed, "When the dawn has not yet fallen, when the darkness has not yet dispersed, the stars will always be hidden under the light of the moon." β
Hula!
Grant stretched out his hand, and the dark power staggered and fused, forming a sharp blade.
"Don't blame me. Grant said indifferently.
"If you want to blame it, blame this damn fate! Who is the one who is ruthless? Hahahaha!"
"Bastard!" Ike clenched his fists, unwilling to die at Grant's hands, what face did he have to meet Skarna?
"Ike!"
Tashi roared, and from the moment they had been trying to break through the demons' barriers.
"In the next life, I hope you can see the true light. Grant slowly lowered his raised hand, and the blade kept closing in on Ike!
"Uncle Grant!"
A shout wandered through the air.
Syllable!
Turning his head, Grant spotted Nina standing with Tashi.
"Little girl, have you finally made your choice?" Grant's eyes softened.
"Don't, don't," Nina bit her lip and shook her head unnaturally.
She could feel how important Ike was to Tashi, and she really didn't want her loving uncle to be the enemy of her lover.
"Little girl, don't you understand? Man and demon are opposite! This is a fact that can never be changed! If you want to create a new world, you have to pay a price!"
Grant's heart was roaring, and it was already a barren place.
"Let me be that executioner! I want to see how this fate is decided! Will I create a new era! Or will I continue to sink in the old era!"
Shout!
The hand was blocked, and the edge slashed towards Ike's neck.
"Ike!" Hercule, who was battling Oranvido, was all focused on the young man, who in his opinion had the power to change the world!
"It's over!" Oranvido smiled, and couldn't help but be vicious.
Hula!
The fierce wind cut through Ike's skin, and before the blade could reach, a thin line of blood appeared, and fine blood beads were distributed on both sides, pouring out.
This time it's really over!
Ike's eyes widened as he greeted the last scene of his life.
From the moment he was taken away by the slave team, a new chapter in his life was opened, from the island of Demuilan to the city of Doco, he did not know how many lives and deaths he experienced!
But every time someone will appear to help him, fate is like a big hand controlling everything, which has to be emotional.
But now?
As Grant said, the tide is over!
Jingle bells!
The crystal pendant wrapped around Ike's wrist swayed, refracting a brilliant light that pierced his eyes.
Is this the last light?
Poof!
Kaka!
The blade dissipated with the wind, turning into wisps of black smoke.
The battlefield froze, and the people who cared about Ike stopped breathing.
"Huh?"
Grant frowned, slightly stunned, looking ahead.
Whewββ
Jingle bells!
The wind gently blows, rubbing against the crystal pendant, making a crisp sound.
Ike sat still, the man in his arms slowly falling into his arms.
"Ahem..." Ellie put her head on Ike's muscular chest and smiled beautifully.
In front of her chest, a tear pierced her upper body, several inches deep inside, leaking electric flashes.
"Love, Ellie, " Ike's voice trembled, and his hand trembled and raised, and when he touched the girl's skin, it was cold.
"Ike..."
"I'm here!" Ike grabbed her little hand, the corners of his eyes were dry, and his beating heart seemed to be pierced and stirred.
"You weren't the Ike I knew. Ellie said weakly.
Ike had a sore nose and gritted his teeth.
"I have the impression that you will always be the same Ike who raised the flag in the arena, and will not give up even in the most difficult situations!" Ellie gently raised her lotus root arm and straightened his messy hair.
"As long as there's a little hope, you won't give up, will you?"
"Yes, yes!" Ike pressed against Ellie's hand, his face twitching and twisting.
"I know, you're just under too much pressure, just confused for a moment. Ellie continued.
"We haven't lost yet!
Ellie's resolute words were like an initiation, making Ike completely sober up, in the face of Grant's strength, he just stupidly chose to give in and accept his fate, why not fight again?
"I'm sorry, I lied to you about something..." Ellie's expression gradually darkened, and she looked down at her wound, which contained small wires and dense devices, but unfortunately now there were flickering fireworks.
"I know, I already knew!" Ike hugged Ellie tightly.
"yes, how could you not know? I'm so stupid. Ellie giggled, her pale cheeks looking even haggard.
She's been hiding secrets, but now it seems that she's too self-righteous.
In fact, she is not human, nor does she belong to any race in this world.
She is a robot with intelligence, a monster that has no emotions since birth.
With the current technology of Ello, it is already possible to create robots, but unfortunately it is still one step away from real artificial intelligence - emotion!
Ellie's father created her and made her walk in this strange world, just to find emotions.
Later, she found it, found the person destined to meet in fate, and found her own emotions.
She will cry, she will laugh, she will know what pain is, she will know what worry is.
From the moment Ike of the Temple of the Cultivator blocked the sword for her, she understood that she had a true heart, the heart of any intelligent being, with seven emotions and six desires.
It was at that moment that she realized that her heart was on Ike's body.
When he is happy, she is happy.
He grieves, and she grieves.
So, she changed, and she followed him in obscurity.
And when he went the wrong way, when he faced a real threat of death, she stepped up again.
Because, she knew he needed her.
Sharing life and death, isn't this the purest love?
It turned out that what she had been pursuing, what she had been longing for, had already been realized unconsciously.
"I don't care who you are, it has nothing to do with me, I only care about you!" Ike hugged him tighter, and he heard the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, the ominous creature trying to compete with him for his beloved.
"What are you crying about? Ellie wiped away his tears and pouted slightly. "I want to cry when you cry. β
Tick tock!
Tears came out of the corners of Ellie's eyes, she was reluctant, really reluctant.
It's not that you can't give up the flowers of this world, but you can't give up one person.
Why are all living things afraid of death?
They don't know what kind of world life is on the other side, and more importantly, they won't be accompanied by their loved ones.
"Angelia..." Grant's indifferent face melted, he grabbed his chest, a trace of remorse spontaneously appeared, and after a few breaths, it was snuffed out.
This is the life he chooses for himself!
Since you have chosen, you have to keep going!
"You already knew?" Aragorn looked at Jessica beside him.
"Hmm. Jessica nodded, this was what she wanted to talk to Ike about, but he suppressed it.
He already knew he was in love with a robot.
No, Ellie is Ellie! she's Ike's lover, nothing more.
"Ahem!"
"Ding Dong! The center is seriously damaged! The instrument is seriously damaged! All functions are being shut down!"
"Ding Dong! The energy core is damaged! The memory bank is missing!"
"Ding Dong!"
γ»γ»γ»
Ellie's mind was flooded with warnings, and she knew that her time was running out, and that this time the injury was too bad, too serious to be repaired.
In other words, she may be disappearing from this world.
"Ike!"
Ellie's breath suddenly became urgent, her hands slumped weakly on the ground, and the system was released from control!
"Ellie!" Ike panicked, not knowing what he could do now.
"Listen to me. Ellie calmed down.
"It's really nice to know you!"
"I don't know why I'm looking for you, but this information has always been in my quest vault. Fortunately, I also found you, without you, how could I be now?"
"Now, I'm leaving. β
"No! no!" Ike shook his head, a deep nasal voice.
"You have to accept reality!" Ellie's voice suddenly changed, from a girl's voice to a cold, mechanical voice, and the sound system seemed to be turned off.
"Ellie!" Ike looked up suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he were a few years old.
"I must live, no, I don't, I will, forgive, you," Ellie said intermittently.
The coldness of the mechanical voice couldn't stop the burning love in her heart, and Ike knew it.
Beep!
"The system is closing the seal..."
Boom!
Ellie's eyes finally lost their vivid color, and the darkness completely swallowed her petite body.
She had been staring at Ike for the last part of her life, and she was going to keep him in her heart and win in her eyes, and now, she had done it.
She won't regret blocking her lover, because it's worth it!
Click!
Ike fell to the ground with Ellie's cold body in his arms, his head slamming against the ground, all the strength of his body was withdrawn, and the pain still couldn't weaken the sadness in his heart.
He had never thought that this moment would come, and he did not dare to think about it.
Thank you for being with me!
The smoke screen obscured by the volcano is gone, replaced by a clear blue sky, and Ellie's figure is at the end of the white clouds.
Rushing!
Ike's mind went blank, leaving only timeless images.
From the first time he saw the nest of gray smoke, under the oppression of Grant, the girl fell from the sky and saved his life, and he will never forget the frosty and cold face.
And in the temple of the cultivator, he blocked the sword, and he couldn't forget the girl's first cry, delicate and fragile.
And that kiss on the Forgotten Street, as hot as fire.
This is Ellie!
Indifference is her!
Violence is her!
Passion is her!
It's her who is delicate!
It's her who is stupid!
Vulnerability is her!
The grievance is her!

"Eun-" Ike choked up, one hand pounding his chest, he tried to hold back his tears, because he knew Ellie hated it the most.
"Big Brother Ike..." Dante lost his soul in place, and the friends around him were immersed in a sad atmosphere.
"Ellie!" Shirley from the other battlefield snorted, her long hair already clinging to her skin in the mixture of blood.
She also didn't dare to accept the reality, how could Ellie die?
"Ike..." The next second, Shirley was worried about Ike again.
"Ahhββββββββhh
Ike desperately opened his mouth wide, saliva hooked two rows of white fangs, revealing scarlet flesh, he used all the strength in his body to roar, he vented his pent-up emotions, and his hideous face seemed to question the gods of heaven.
Why! Why is my life like this?
Since I was a child, I have been ridiculed! My family has died in the war!
Let me live a life of exile all the time!
In the end, I was caught on that damn island!
Why did Skarna appear in my life and streak like a shooting star!
Why did I find my lover and she still left me now!
Why! Why!!
"Ahh
Ike hoarse, his throat rubbing, squeezing out the last syllable.
"This is life, this is life, the law of the jungle, natural selection. Grant regained his indifference and walked to Ike's side, once again condensing the blade in his right hand.
The blade whirled in the wind, whining.
"If you can't defeat it, you'll have to accept anything!"
Grant roared, the blade falling again!(To be continued.) )
