Chapter 118 (2/2)

“I heard that these hasty children of mine were rude to you. I had to check if the princess had the treasure or not. So, I myself came here to see.”

“Treasure?” Asked Reina.

“Have you ever heard of the Earth’s Tears?”

When she was asked, Reina just shook her head because she didn’t know of it.

However, Victor who was knocked down by the dark elves was starting to wake up.

He had heard the story from Peter II, Reina’s father, before he passed away.

At that time, Peter II wasn’t able to tell an important fact as that to his young daughter, so he kept talking to the old Gods.

What Victor knew about was that the Earth’s Tears had secretly descended to the royal family of Volga.

What was that thing, and what kind of history did it have?

“Ah, this man! Don’t you touch the princess!”

The dark elves hurriedly tried to take away the weapon from Victor’s hand.

However, Erenes restrained their violent actions.

“You don’t have to worry about that. We have no intention of hurting the princess. We just wanted to check.”

Erenes pulled out a small twig from his sleeve.

Approaching the princess, Erenes brought the dry twig close to her.

Wooong?!

Suddenly, with a low pitch sound, a refreshing blue light began to emanate from Reina’s body.

Along with that, a drop of water formed on her forehead.

‘What, what is happening?’ Thought Reina.

“Ohoh!”

Reina had no idea what was happening to her.

Erenes, the Dark elves, and Victor were looking at her and the amazing scene that was happening.

A woman looking down on the vast nature, and the many beings that lived on it.

Raising her arms to the sky, the lady soon projected the image of a giant tree.

It was the legendary tree that gave birth to all life.

“The World Tree… The heir of spiritualist (Nature) still exists,” said Erenes.

Erenes was thrilled to see leaves sprouting from the twig that he held onto.

What he was holding was the twig of the World Tree, a part of the World Tree that had lost its power long ago.

It got back it’s life once again.

Because he held the twig which had its power sealed, the spirit from the lady possessing the World Tree imprinted the power on the twig that belonged to it.

The Earth’s Tears could open the door to the Spirit World.

Then, it would be possible for the elves to make contract with the spirits once again; the long lost wish of the elves.

“God hasn’t abandoned us fairies… Kuk, Kuk!”

“Ere, Erenes, sir!”

Blood was coming out of Erenes’s mouth.

The surprised dark elves ran over to support him.

Reina went closer to look at his lost complexion.

In the meantime, the blue light that had shone on her forehead had disappeared.

Erenes smiled happily as he was the twig of the World Tree, which had new leaves around it.

‘Who would have thought that the closed door to the Spirit World would be opened? However, would I be there to see that day…’

Erenes had chased Lich, Arsene, but he had suffered from injuries. The injuries were from vicious dark magic, and the effect the magic had on Erenes’s body was worsening.

He knew that his life was going to end in a matter of time.

With the twig of the World Tree in his hand—a sign of hope for his people—Erenes slowly lost consciousness.
