【Mask】Section 4 (Part II/End of Part 2)

Previous Chapter

After coming out of the Atlas, Warrell Stonearm returned to the Stone City of St. Lucas, where she grew from six to sixteen. However, at this time, St. Lucas no longer exists, and the Himo Continent belongs to the High Elf Patler Empire. Vorrell quickly understood what was happening and embarked on a journey to find Luna, where she was hunted down by a large number of High Elves, who were defeated by him. She didn't fatally wound the high elves, but focused on making them unconscious. Although the Church of Light erased all magic from this world, the source of Vorrell's power was never magic, her stone arms, her swordsmanship, and her combat power were all crushing most people without the use of magic. So none of the elves who were chasing Vorrell were able to succeed.

Vorrell used to hate elves and wanted to kill them all, but since she experienced Miller after the war, since she met the Tatsuji family and the little girl Luna, since he pulled out his sword and awakened, her mind has changed. No one should suffer from war, and she cannot provide conditions and excuses for war. All she wants to do now is find Luna and protect her, for her promise to Kavo, and for her love for her.

However, while in the continent of Shima, Warrell heard a rumor from the ears of the High Elves. It is said that the Elven King Robbie Patler, who now rules the High Elf Empire, does not have pure High Elf royal blood, he was previously only the adopted son of the Desman family, the apprentice of Randolph Salem, and the nephew of the Elven Queen Alain Desman, who served as the captain of the Dragon Squad during the war. However, not long after the war began, he staged a coup d'état among the High Elves, imprisoned Alan Wen, overthrew the Desman family, and the elven kingdom of Eriton became the Pateler Empire.

"Randolph's apprentices, they are a good master! After learning the identity of the Elven King, Warrell decides to make trouble with him in his Pateler Empire to see what untold truths he can discover, and to meet the Desman Queen who was imprisoned by them and led an army against St. Lucas.

Reiner Serrim, who had the least connection with the others, didn't know where he had fallen, because everything on the ground was strange to him, an underground creature who had been imprisoned by Randolph for six years before he had even seen a few places on the surface. But one thing he knew, that is, as soon as he came out of the other world, he found that he could not mobilize the power of fire and craft, he could no longer have flames in his hands, he no longer had the armor of lava on his body, he finally turned back into a normal person, and the funny thing is that this is exactly what he wanted to achieve day and night for thousands of years before, and he is reluctant to do this power now, because he needs this power to fight against the enemy, and he needs this power to benefit his people.

"You! you're a dark elf, how did you end up on Oss Island? This is a neutral area, did you come to the island without permission to start a war again?" Several human-looking creatures ran out of the woods, swords and clubs in their hands, and surrounded Reiner.

"What are we going to do with him?" the second man asked.

"What can we do with him? We can't do anything without magic now!" said the third man.

"Hey, who of you will tie the rope with your hands?" said the fourth man.

"No, I only use magic to tie ropes, and I can do whatever I want. The third man said dejectedly, "Can you?"

"What a joke, who would learn how to use their precious hands when they are used to the convenience of magic! The Church of Light that erases the magic of the world is a great sin!" said the fourth.

Reiner was amused when he saw the clumsiness, "I said, what the hell is going on with you? If you can't use magic, you can't do anything, do you want me to tie it up and give it to you, and what the hell is this place?" But his hissing voice may have made these people feel even more terrifying.

"This ...... This is the island of Os, the land of magic, where the whole world is best at magic!"

"Now I'm afraid it's just a waste country......" said the second person.

The continent of Caios, on the outskirts of Lori, the center of the Church, on the border of the Death Forest.

Several people dressed in church robes can be seen every day around the cabin that once belonged to Archbishop Joshua Storm, who have been ordered by the church to keep a close watch over the area. The entire world is no longer able to use magic, but the people of the Church can still use their spiritual arts, because the Church of Light wants to ensure their absolute strength. But they rotated shifts here for several years, and still found nothing. In fact, their goal has always been under their feet, but even if they used the illusion of spiritual magic to cross the surface, they would not be able to see Joshua's manor built underneath the place where he had moved the entire Kingdom Church.

"Dad, when will we be able to go back to live on the ground, it's too dark underground, I'm afraid ......of the dark," a little boy with blonde hair and green eyes looked up at his father, who was also blonde, and said aggrievedly.

"Bennison, you're six years old, it's time to grow into a man, and your mother still needs you to protect you!

"But......" Bennison seemed to have a thousand words, but he didn't know how to speak to his father.

"Joshua, alright, don't embarrass the child!" a dark-haired woman walked up to Bennison from a pitch-black distance and lit another candlestick with flint, "It's enough to let him hide with us in this dark underground!"

"It's a necessary sacrifice! It's my duty and mission!" Joshua, who was thirty-three years old, excited, "I won't let those guys from the Church of Light go!"

"Come on, they're now the leaders of all of humanity, they've erased all magic from this world, they've erased your powers, and you're their wanted criminal, how are you going to fight them?" his wife said mercilessly.

"Kate, you know what my father did for the kingdom and for the world, and how can I disgrace him as his son!" Joshua was almost on the verge of roaring.

"I know......" Kate's tone softened a lot, as if she was about to cry, "that's why I don't want our children to lose their father at such ......a young age," she said and hugged Bennison tightly in her arms.

"Kate......" Joshua choked his words, his tears were rolling in his eyes, and he didn't want to cry, so he could only silently hug his wife and children, and through the dim candlelight, a figure that seemed to be flying in the sky was projected on the wall.

Church of Light, Cross family basement.

"You bastards, if it weren't for Lao Tzu who only had one hand left, how could you be tied up by you? Your grandfather, I'm going to beat you all over the ground looking for teeth!" roared Marshall, who was tied to a stone statue with five flowers.

"Marshall, you're still so personal. A familiar voice sounded, and the arrogant anger on Marshall's face turned to shock and fear, "I couldn't believe it when I heard that you were no longer fighting, how could you be the kind of person who would like to live a dull and quiet life?" York, much older than he remembered, walked up to him, not the armor of the Knights, nor the rags that Miller wore after the First World War, he was wearing the white bird robes that symbolized the Church of Light, pure white, and several badges symbolizing power and fame on his chest.

"You're not York! Who the hell are you!" Marshall yelled at him.

"I'm the fake Yorke Cross, the elder of the Church of Light, and a member of the Human Alliance's Inquisition, Marshall, why do you say that?"

"The Yorkie I know, no matter how bastard, he would never be such a coward who sells his soul when he sees the wind and makes the rudder!!"

"I didn't see the wind and steer, I remembered my mission, I remembered the mission of the church, and this was the best choice I made. ”

A few days later, the Church of Light, the underground dungeon of Shining Star Castle.

"Smack!" a leather whip slammed into Luna's back, which was already covered in bruises, and immediately cut another hole, and blood ran down her back to the ground, drawing a long red line on the ground.

"Where's the daylight spar?" said the middle-aged man in his fifties in a white robe with a long whip and a long whip.

"I ...... I don't know...... You guys...... At...... What ......," Luna said weakly.

"Looks like we're going to have to play harder!, burn her for me!" the man shook his head at the men beside him, and they brought a brazier and a red-hot iron rod with a handle. One of the henchmen picks up the iron rod and slams it down on Luna's thigh, "Ah!!hh

"I'll ask you again, Bai ...... Daytime...... Crystal...... Stone...... At...... Which...... "You'd better hope that I won't call my son, who is now an elder of the church, and whose methods are much more cruel than mine!"

"As I said, I don't know, this trick you played is much worse than what the old lady enjoyed in the Pearl Courtyard back then!" Luna had chains on both hands and feet, and her bracelet had been removed, but with or without the bracelet, she could not invoke the power of the Moon Goddess, because the Church of Light erased all magic in this world except the Church. She had been tormented by the beasts of the Church for days, but she had never uttered a word, she had already hidden the daylight crystal in advance, in a place known only to Regulus and her. "Regulus, you must find the stone before they do......" Luna thought to herself.

Lori, the former site of the Pearl Temple, the smallest room on the second floor.

Regulus rummaged through a pile of rubble and debris that the pearl courtyard was said to have been destroyed at the outbreak of the Great War of the Century, and no one had restored it in the years. This is where Regulus, who was drinking to relieve his sorrows due to Alyssa's death, first received Luna's services, when he was just sheltering from the rain, but he accidentally broke into the Pearl Courtyard and was pushed upstairs by the bustard, so he met Luna by mistake. He rescues Luna from the Pearl, and Luna saves him from the confusion of life, and they both save each other, and this place, though full of painful memories for Luna, is also a place to commemorate the two of them met.

Regulus rummaged through it for a while, and finally found a jewelry box—the first thing Luna had bought with the money Regulus had given her these days with the money Regulus had given her after leaving the Pearl Courtyard together. Regulus opened the box, which was not as stubborn as the one that originally contained the stones, but opened with a light break. Regulus saw the stone lying in the box that they had worked so hard to get, the stone that created everything and stabilized everything, the nemesis of the obsidian stone, the stone that reminded Regulus of everything.

Regulus couldn't wait to put the stone into the palm of his hand, and suddenly, as if he was sucked by a suction force falling from the sky, his whole body shook as if he was sucked by a suction force falling from the sky, and his whole body kept shaking, as if countless information was drilling through the pores of his whole body. When he had calmed down, he said to himself:

"I get it all right, it's time to crusade against the gods!"
