Chapter 70: Now
"Don't, don't pester me anymore!"
With a frightened and angry voice, Marta waved her arms like snow lotus roots, and suddenly opened her eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the window, the night slowly spreads out like velvet, and the eye can see. The deep blue sky, embraced by countless bright, dim stars, silent for no apparent reason, this peace was so real that it seemed to be within reach.
“......”
She sat up from the bed, stared at the night sky in a daze, slowly hugged her head, and curled up into the futon like a helpless puppy.
The futon was wrapped tightly like a breathing shell, opening a gap to reveal Marta's vigilant eyes, sweeping every inch of air around her, as if an invisible person was hiding there, cursing her with malice.
"Shuhai World has nothing to do with me, you don't want me to betray the teacher, I just want to live here with my mother!"
Marta clenched her fine white teeth and jumped up from the bed, as if venting her anger at a dark voice.
Yet no one responded to her curses, and the room was so quiet that you could hear the rustle of the air against the walls, like a playful chuckle from the walls, the floor, and the ceiling.
After a half-angry confrontation, Marta gradually felt dizzy, and fell back to the bed softly, holding her head with both hands, feeling cold sweat all over her body.
In the past few months, the voice in her head has become more and more angry, tormenting her invisibly and forcing her to compromise. He wants Marta to regain his identity as a tree elf and use his rights and resources to assist in the revival of Jukai World in the future and complete her revenge on Atlasu.
"Mom has already been sacrificed once for the revival of Jukai World, and now it's my turn again!?"
Her eyes grew bloodshot, her throat sounded with hatred, her fingers embedded in the cloth and the bedding was torn apart, and finally she screamed like a wounded wolf cub:
"Die, die, die, all the tree elves, die, die, I want to find a teacher, let him kill you!",
Marta who was forced to a desperate situation did not compromise, but made her break off the last trace of nostalgia for the sea of trees, and even resentment.
......
For Marta, the journey to the teacher's retreat seemed endless.
"Miss Marta!?"
"Miss Marta, are you alright?"
"If there's anything you need, just let us know!"
The guards on the corridor looked sideways, and when they saw the governor's servant and disciple stumbling all the way, they didn't dare to stop her, only thinking that she might be in trouble and wanted to come forward to help.
"I'm fine, I want to see the teacher. ”
She rejected everyone's kindness, and even though her soul was burning in a vicious fire, she did not hesitate to walk through the hallway, into the vestibule, and staggered to the ashram.
The door to the ashram was open, and Marta's godly teacher was now sitting on the floor as steadily as a mountain, looking at her with black eyes, as if she already knew everything.
"Come in. ”
Yalei looked at his student, his gaze piercing through the physical obstruction, staring at the other flame that was entrenched on the surface of her soul fire, a subtle cold light glowing from the depths of her iris.
"Teacher ......"
Marta hugged her head and gritted her back molars with a look of bitterness and chagrin.
"Needless to say, a god who should have been wiped out a long time ago, desperately trying to survive. After returning from the city of Shechem, I found traces of it. ”
The black-haired knight reached out and motioned for the student to come to him, took the hand that asked for help, and helped her clench his fist:
"I didn't do anything because I saw that you were resisting it. ”
"Can you help me...... I can't stand it anymore!"
Marta lowered her head in confusion and lay on his knees, sobbing helplessly.
"He lives by you, almost a part of your soul, and if I kill him, I will hurt you. Any damage to the soul will have serious consequences, so I can't help you directly. Yalei refused her request.
"What should I do?"
Marta's eyes lit up with hope, and she knew that since the teacher said so, there must be a way.
"I'll help you face him head-on, and everything after that will be handled by you. The black-haired knight stroked her short silky hair, his gaze soft, but his voice was as cold and hard as an ice stone.
"I see......"
She propped herself up and knelt in front of the teacher, looking at him with a determined look in her eyes.
"Good. ”
Yalei nodded calmly, his right hand grasping weakly, and just like that, he was in front of Marta.
Whoosh!
The electric light in the palm sputtered, spreading in the void in a radial shape, tearing countless gaps of different levels. Pitch-black trickles poured out from the cracks, blending with each other to form a pitch-black torrent that swirled wildly, quickly collapsing backwards, revealing a dark void in the core.
The whirlpool roared like thunder.
Marta didn't hesitate in the slightest, her heart was horizontal, and she followed the hollow pull, and her consciousness rushed forward, throwing herself directly into the realm of fear.
In the endless darkness, a ray of white light floated forward with her soul, and after an unknown amount of time, the roar slowed down and sank into the silent black waves.
......
Marta 'woke up' to a blinding white light, and after regaining consciousness, her first action was to jump up and put on a protective fist.
After a moment of confusion, she found herself standing on a huge altar, surrounded by an endless black ocean, the water seemed to be a slurry of some kind of molten metal, and the waves were surging at every moment.
The altar floated like a flat boat, in the midst of the raging black waves, its brilliant gold trim carved with the most delicate patterns, but gradually dissolving in the endless black water, as if it were melting.
"Marta, how dare you betray me!"
With a roar of rage, the voice that lingered in the depths of her mind came from all sides of the altar, even if it was extremely weak, but it also exuded a majesty from above.
A rich white light emerged from the bottom floor of the altar, arching upwards in the shape of a dead tree, but the form was fleeting, and then turned into a blurred white shadow in armor.
"If you have never been loyal, how can you betray?"
Marta smiled disdainfully, straightened her back, her eyes like light quenched from the blade, and stared at the white shadow on the opposite side.
"You are the one I have chosen, and you will be able to ascend to heaven and become a god in the future, why did you betray your world and take refuge in our enemies!?"
There was an incredulous doubt in the god's voice, and even though the Tree Elf Maiden was already on the opposite side of him, she still couldn't believe what was happening before her.
Whoosh!
Marta didn't speak, she flicked her back hard, and in an instant she lunged and rushed to it like a shuttle, and her five fingers grabbed like a knife, piercing straight into the god's chest.
"All I care about is now!" she said coldly.
