Chapter 142 - The Ark Of Sacrifice (1/2)

With that being said, both beings lunged towards each other, clashing with their weapons.

Their Auras were visible from above. Their Elemental Energy could be felt from a mile away.

”Why would it be sad to uphold a promise?” asked Ysabeau, questioning what the Royal child meant.

”It isn't sad to uphold a promise. It is sad if the only thing to live for is to fulfill that promise. There's so much more to do, not just live for the sake of a promise.”

”You've got it wrong, my dear child. You don't live just because of a promise. You carry on with strength because of that promise. You move on because of that promise. Promises don't give life or an answer to live, they give people the strength to fight on.”

”You can live for a thousand years but still be an empty husk if you don't see the purpose of carrying on,” explained Ysabeau, smiling sweetly.

The two continue to clash as Nova received footage and information in her mind. Ysabeau's words remained in her head for quite some time.

”How about love? Is that a thing to strive to continue living? Or is that an excuse to seal the deal with the person you care for the most?” asked Nova, unsure of everything that was happening.

”It's not an excuse and it's not a thing either. Love isn't an emotion. Love is a promise and because of that, the people down below are using what they've got to protect you.”

”Cascadia Helios Windfall!” yelled the Valkyrie, aiming both her wings and hands towards Old Man Pond.

Raiyen continued his ambush by using both the Glitch and Holy Trinity attacks. With simultaneous Elements attacking each other, the entire place looked like fireworks going off on a holiday.

”Propel, Thrust! Rain down. A world without end. Let the unknown guide you. Allow these weapons, To bring you… Oblivion of Spears!” yelled Baldwin.

The attack rained down on the enemy in torrents, similar to Ysabeau's Archery of the Frosted Heavens. Despite the number of attacks that were being launched, Old Man Pond swiftly dodged every single attack.

”The Valkyrie... Just like the boss,” said Old Man Pond, pointing at Mavislin.

”I wasn't trying to mess with his mind by altering his memories. I just wanted to look at the battle through their eyes. I didn't realize that he was able to sense my powers.”

Ysabeau looked worried as the fight continued to drag on.
