58 The Power of the Sacrifice (1/2)
When Alisha opened her eyes, Rainer held her hands tightly, seeing Rainer so close to her after what she experienced in the trial embarrassed her.
”Alisha has awakened!” Shouted Rainer as he turned his gaze to others.
”...?”
Liann did not expect Alisha to overcome her weakness, during the whole journey she had only thrown a couple of illusions but she had never really made an effort for anything.
”Congratulations!” Said Xarcas after verifying that Alisha was fine.
Sigh...
”...”
Everyone turned to Faust to hear his verdict.
”I didn't think you would pass the trial, for a thousand years of sealing, I forgot about the heart's potential...when I was young, I was like you...don't be like me and lose hope without even trying it...Thank you child.”Said Faust as he bowed his head.
”...!”
”No, you were right, I am weak and I need to start building my own path or I will be a burden forever...” Said Alisha as she clenched her fists.
”You're right, but now you'll have some extra support to achieve your goals!” Said Faust while releasing an enormous pressure!
Shaking... shaking...
The pressure was so strong that it seemed like a God descending from the heavens!
Flash!
A bright light erupted from Faust's forehead as he roared trying to summon all his strength.
Crunch...Crunch....
The chains that restricted Faust were destroyed just like that!
”Even breathing is difficult...” Said Liann as she looked at Rainer, surprised that he was not affected by Faust's pressure.
”What the hell is wrong with him?”She wondered.
”...!”
White flames surrounded Faust's body as he roared, surprisingly, the flames were warm and kind, they felt full out of hope and kindness.
”This totem belongs to you now, do not dishonor the beastmen's lineage, it depends on you to reach your maximum potential... ” Whispered Faust as the flames were consuming him....
”...!”
Everyone was shocked, the pressure Faust was releasing had weakened along with his vital force! He was dying!
”Only the sacrifice allows this totem to be shared, no one but its owner is allowed to know its secrets, as the heavens dictate... ”The enormous Faust figure began to disappear in the sea of flames.
”...!”
Faust seemed surprised for a moment before starting to laugh.
”Hahahahaha! So you were always there...all these years you were watching over me... ” Murmured Faust as he looked towards Alisha.
”Alisha, thank you for opening this old man's eyes, follow your creed even if you end up making a mistake or you'll regret it! And finally, take your decision or someone will take him from you!” Faust told Alisha directly in her thoughts and she blushed in response.
