With the last incantation of Burrestu, everything changed......

The camp of the resisters suddenly became a pot of porridge, and the people who had been working together to resist the werewolf attack suddenly began to punch and kick each other, and even aimed their wands at their comrades...... They grabbed each other's necks with red eyes, rolled to the ground and wrestled together, and used all kinds of deadly magic mercilessly, as if they had completely lost their minds......

The werewolves' eyes suddenly turned red, and some of them began to bite each other, while others continued to howl and rush towards the crowd......

One by one, people fell, either from magic or from the fangs of werewolves, and the smell of blood quickly spread...... All this seems to be a repetition of the tragedy that happened in that castle more than ten years ago, but this time the scene is more than just appalling......

Only those in the vicinity of Allen survived...... But most of the small group of people were so frightened by what was happening in front of them that they stood there at a loss.

It was Cynthia who reacted first, running up to Alan and yelling at him, "Wake up!"

Although she hadn't seen this situation with her own eyes, she knew very well in her heart that if anyone could restore this to normal now, it was only Allen.

But it backfired, and what Eren was flashing in front of his eyes now was full of memories of Alyssa......

"It seems true that Professor Freeman didn't explain this place clearly, but wouldn't it be more reliable for you to go home and ask Grandma?"

"Grandma, she...... She's not really good at explaining these things...... She would just show me in person and let me see for myself...... But ......"

"Okay, then let me think about how I can explain it to you...... Hmmm......"

At this time, they were still learning the most basic magic knowledge from Beya, and every time she asked him a question, she would be shy, but she was serious......

"What, isn't short hair for me?"

"Uh...... That was not what I meant...... Actually, I mean to say...... Very, very beautiful......"

"Thank you. I just thought it might be easier for me to practice magic with my hair cut shorter...... Well...... You should know that wind elemental magic can easily blow your hair out when you practice......"

"That's true. ”

"And didn't you say that you thought it would look clean......

Originally, it was just a sentence he inadvertently said, but he didn't expect her to be so attentive...... Perhaps in her eyes, everything about Eren is the most important thing......

"You're a liar...... Actually, I've tasted these cherries...... It's not good at all......"

“......”

"It's just that I don't have anything else to give you...... That's the best thing I can think of, given to you. ”

These were the last time they went to school, and on that quiet night, the words that the girl who was not good at words spoke, and which warmed all the long nights he would follow......

"It's a hard spell to read...... Very mouthful, always biting the tongue......"

"Hehe, I've already figured out the trick before you...... It's all about the rhythm, it's easy to find the rhythm......"

"Wow, really, it's amazing to be able to find the trick in such a short period of time, and it's not for nothing that I can easily get the first place in my grade. ”

"W-How can it be easy......"

And these nights in the school library, they spent together a little tired but extremely fulfilling...... Of course, what is more important than helping each other forward is companionship.

It is these seemingly ordinary dialogues, accumulated bit by bit, that fill every inch of space in his heart, and every time he thinks of it, he will feel a warm current in his heart, warming his whole body......

Oh, and her emaciated figure kept flashing in front of his eyes at the same time......

Whenever he is in danger, he will always be the first to stand in front of him...... Weak and uncontrollable, but unflinching.

But these made him cherish the picture doubly, and he will never see it again......

"People who can still move come and gather with me!!" Seeing Allen's state, Cynthia had no choice but to shout at the others first.

"Alan!Alan!" Ryel shouted as he froze, shaking Alan.

Mr. and Mrs. Connor weren't around, and he was now desperately worried that they would become like everyone else...... He wanted to go to them, too, but knew he couldn't leave Allen's side......

Of course, he also understands that the only person who can save their lives now is Allen.

But no matter how much he shouted, Alan just gave him a blank look, and then lowered his head again......

"Probably...... There's no point in going any further...... This is the final fate......"

This is the voice that rings in Alan's ears now......

"This pain...... It's probably best to end it all now......"

If there is only one word that can describe Allen's mood now, it must be "all thoughts are lost......

The original hope was a raging flame, but now, it is a candle in the wind, and it can be extinguished at any time if the wind is strong......

The vast majority of the population had been controlled by Burrestu's magic, and only those within a few meters of Eren were still conscious.

"Is there only such a few people......" Cynthia couldn't help but feel a pang of despair as she looked at the few people who came closer.

Including Allen, Riel, and Frey, there are only a dozen of them, and even how to escape is a problem, not to mention launching a counterattack......

The elves had all disappeared at some point, leaving only Hepluth.

Although the light began to dissipate in his heart, he remained the only hope. Heplus stared at Eren for a long time, patting him on the shoulder in an attempt to wake him up, but to no avail.

"Protect him, and put your lives on the line. Heplus looked at Cynthia.

"Please save him!" Cynthia said with tears in her voice for the first time.

"Sorry...... There's nothing I can do. "An elf can heal a man's body, but it can't heal a wounded heart." ”

Heplus's words silenced everyone present...... Contains a desperate silence.

"Still, you can do it......" Heplus looked around, finally at Cynthia.

"Me?" Cynthia was stunned.

"Yes...... The only thing to be happy about now is that you've grown a lot......" Heplus said as he looked at her earnestly, "and the impact he's had on you, and you must have felt it yourself...... Compared to the paranoid and arrogant you at the beginning, you are now truly qualified to claim to be a descendant of the Guardian Clan. ”

At this point, Heplus was silent for a moment, and suddenly put his hand on his heart and took out something shiny......

"If this continues, not only the humans, but also the elves will be destroyed......" Heplus slowly walked up to Cynthia and put his hand on top of her head, "but I can't stay in this world anymore, and even I can't stop this evil thought......"

Cynthia only felt a strange force infused into her body, disrupting the rhythm of her heartbeat.

"Hope it helps......" Heplus' body suddenly began to dissipate......

"Wait a minute!" Cynthia still had something to ask, but found that she couldn't hold Heplus' arm......

"As long as you don't give up, there is still hope...... a burst of fog rose and wrapped Heplus's whole body, making his voice sound far away, "The rest, I'll leave it to you!"
