The Final Battle - Book 7, Chapter 72: Infiltration 9 (2/2)

Soon, these anisms would take over the entire forest, and the Sun Astrals’ way of life would be threatened

Of course, the threat that this forest infestation posed to the the fact they still had the protection of their beloved Goddess

But trouble was still trouble Even a deity would have a hard ti this issue

“Father, don’t you think that my bow looks pretty?”

Little Ivy ran towards her father’s boso onto a precious treasure

Klipp took the ss here are still a bit crude You should have used three strokes to carve out this flower, but you only used two”

“I just wanted my bow to be a little sturdier,” Little Ivy muttered with a pout

“Don’t worry about that, sweetie,” Klipp said as he cohter “Only beauty and aesthetics matter to us We must have faith in our Goddess’s directions and e and history Follow your heart and pursue the path of the fine arts There is no need to consider utility, which is a heresy for us artists Does that make sense?”

“Yes, I understand,” Little Ivy replied as she nodded “I will go andan extra line, representing a strea water whenever I use it That would be extrereat!” Klipp chuckled “That’s a good idea Give it a try I’m sure that the Goddess will appreciate your creation”

“En!” Little Ivy nodded sincerely, turned around, and then ran outside

“She will become a fine artist,” Klipp said to his wife

“Don’t you think that your current pursuit of the arts is a little overzealous? I would still prefer for Ivy to join the Sun Astral Guards in the future,” his wife replied

“What would be the point of that?” Klipp becaestion “Those brutes know nothing about elegance and aesthetics They even recently submitted a request to remove the elaborate fretwork fros on their weapons by two-thirds! Those designs were all created by master artists! They truly have no eye for beauty and tastefulness!”

“They are also Sun Astrals, and they just put the safety of our race first Recently, the world seems to be scarier Didn’t you hear about what happened recently? The Moon Goddess Church assimilated the Winter God Church,” his wife replied with some fear

“Only the Gods need to worry about those things With the Gods present, there is nothing for you to worry about,” Klipp replied confidently

“But the Gods are very busy They haven’t answered our prayers in a long time” Klipp’s wife knew exactly how busy the Gods had recently been She didn’t knohat they were doing, but there was an ineffable tension in the air that hadn’t escaped her notice

Because she was one of the Sun Astrals’ twelve priestesses

Her ability to perceive the outward situation was higher than that of her husband, as a pure artist

And her husband even despised the Sun Astral Guards to boot How sensitive could he possibly be towards the current state of affairs?

No!

In his eyes, hue-eared dwarves and Scorched Earth pygh the mud

As such, he had no heart to care about as going on in the outside world

Even so, his wife still loved him

This was just how the Sun Astrals were

The Sun Astrals’ single-minded pursuit of artistry came from within Her husband's fanatical pursuit of the fine arts only further demonstrated his sophistication

Klipp was still co, and his wife listened attentively to his rant

At that moment, however, a dull thud came from the outside

“Ivy!” Klipp called out

There was no response other than a strange cry

Klipp raised his head in surprise He looked out of the red crystaland saw that a group of Sun Astrals had gathered outside, panicking about so

Klipp stepped outside and walked over to theround, completely motionless

“Ivy!” Klipp cried out as he rushed to pick up his daughter

The young girl’s eyes were tightly shut, and her face was deathly pale

“Don’t touch her, Klipp!” his wife yelled

“What did you say?” Klipp stared at his wife in anger

“Look!” His wife pointed at his surroundings

That hen Klipp suddenly discovered that he had, at some point in time, been completely surrounded by other fallen Sun Astrals

“This What is going on?” Klipp ain to glance at his wife, as now staring at hian to back up

“Amelie!” Klipp yelled

He suddenly realized that so

Why?

He could feel his own heartbeat accelerating as his body teer control hie mouthful of blood
