Chapter 99: Light!
Am I willing?
Am I willing?
Elena trembled, clenched her fists, and her voice choked!
"Do I willing, you ask? Do you ask me willingly......"
"—how could I be willing!"
"I want to live, but I also want to live well!!"
"Every day is full of hope for the future! Every day we have to helplessly welcome all kinds of good and bad things happen! I have to solve all kinds of headaches every day, but as long as I think that I am fighting for my future, I can't help but be full of energy again! ”
"It doesn't matter if you cry or laugh, but your life will continue to change because of your decisions, even if you are not satisfied with the end, you will live up to this life, because this is the road you have struggled all the way and walked!"
"I'm not reconciled! I'm so unwilling! I'm so unwilling to see the end of the future at that glance! I am so unwilling that I will be like a walking corpse from now on, just to survive! ”
"But!
"But ......"
"I ...... Can't do anything......"
"—I can't defeat him!"
Elena hoarse catharsis!
"What can I do?"
"What can I do!!"
The corner of the Dreadlord's mouth smiled, and he said softly.
"Nope! You can, Elena. ”
"I can't, I can't!" Elena shook her head violently.
"I've seen too many lives scared of the difficulties in front of me, but once I get through it, when I look back, I find that those things that used to be big for me are nothing." The Dreadlord continued to laugh.
"Nope! You don't even know anything! You have no idea what I'm going to face! ”
"Then you tell me."
"I told you, but we still lost! And have already lost twice! ”
"Then a third time!"
"What if you still lose!"
The Dreadlord groaned, and after a moment, he was categorical.
"Then I will keep you behind me! Even if I die, I will definitely stand in front of me, and die first! ”
As he spoke, he picked up the Crown of Fear beside the bed and placed it firmly on her head.
Elena was shocked, she was so defenseless, wearing this [Crown of Fear] whose material is unknown, the impact is unknown, and even the system reminds you to wear it carefully!
However, she looked at the Dreadlord and saw that he had only a sincere face.
"This [Crown of Fear] is made from my heart."
Elena's blood pupils shrank: "...... What did you say?! ”
"I said, it's made of my heart."
The Dreadlord smiled softly: "Actually, strictly speaking, I don't have a heart. But I have the ability to be reborn in fear after the fall. ”
"This ability makes me immortal, like an eternally beating heart."
"Now, I condense this heart and give it to you."
"It will completely hand over to you my ability to be immortal and reborn in fear."
"I don't know what you like? But I know that what you want most is to live. So I thought, this gift, maybe you'll like it. ”
Elena's lips and teeth trembled, and tears flowed from her eyes.
It turns out that the unknown material of the [Crown of Fear] is the heart of the Dread Demon King!
It turns out that the great weirdness hidden in the [Crown of Fear] is to be reborn with fear!
Elena could only choke and choke...... Difficulty in uttering words.
"It's just that being born again in fear is a real rebirth. Maybe a hundred years from now, maybe a thousand years from now. And when you are reborn, you will be completely frightened, and you will no longer be human. ”
"And then you will lose all your original memories, and even your personality will change because of the power of fear."
"I don't know if I would be willing to be reborn like that of you, for you now."
Become...... Isn't it yourself anymore?
It turns out that this is the reason why the [Crown of Fear] was prompted by the system to wear it carefully!
In fact, to be precise, the effect of the crown of fear cannot be regarded as rebirth, and it seems more appropriate to say that it is "reincarnation".
After all, I feel that my relived self is no longer the slightest bit similar to my current self. It's like forgetting everything from a previous life and being reincarnated.
However, Elena was still moved.
“…… Give me the heart, what will you do? ”
"If you die...... Isn't it really dead?! ”
"Boom!" The Dreadlord smirked, "I'm the most powerful Demon King, and it's hard to meet someone who can kill me." ”
Tears trickled down Elena's trembling lips and dripped.
"Why...... Why...... Why...... Why are you doing this......"
The Dreadlord raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"I don't know ...... that is."
He pondered.
"When I carved [Heart of Fear], every knife made me feel a hundredfold or a thousand times more pain than a curse, but as long as I thought that maybe when you put it on and smile happily, the knife far exceeded the pain of a curse a thousand times greater, so I endured it."
"Is it so that it will make you happy, and better enough to suppress the curse for me?"
"It's because I just said that even if you are going to die, I will stand in front of you and die first. If I don't take action, you won't think I'm just talking, right? ”
"Uh...... It doesn't seem to be either, it's not ......"
Suddenly, the Dreadlord's eyes brightened, and the bright gaze struck Elena, burning like the sun.
"I see! I know! ”
"Elena!"
"Because—"
"You are my light!"
The mottled shadows of the trees quickly cluttered up in Elena's shocked cheeks......
The entire sacred tree swayed with excitement at the moment when the tree elves' minds were attained. A nameless wind blew through the sacred tree, rustling the leaves from the ground to the sky!
"Yes, yes."
The Dreadlord held out his palm to Elena.
"It's like walking in the boundless night, going through the eternal era, and finally seeing a ray of light in the endless darkness!"
"Before I met you, the boundless curse made me feel that there was no difference between being alive and dead. It was you, Elena, that finally made me feel that I was alive! ”
"So, Elena, stand up!"
"Now that I have given you the opportunity to be born again, you should no longer be afraid of challenges!"
"So, Elena, hold my hand tight!"
"I won't allow you to be discouraged!"
"I won't allow you to despair!"
"I will fight alongside you again!"
"Just because, you are my light! I will absolutely never allow it, let the light in my heart - extinguished!! ”
