Chapter 604: The Luckiest Thing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Die!”
In the process of casting the Fusion Thread of the Dual God, the crown that symbolized the arcane throne appeared above Antonio’s head. His robe made of magical elements swayed in the wind, and his furious expression looked as if an archmage was venting his anger on the world.
Ten fountains of magical power revolved around his head, and ten different forces shot in all directions. The ground where the entire Forest of Eternity was located kept sinking, and the ground’s surface was vaporized before it could even break into pieces. The Elven Kingdom was covered in different colors of light as it fell apart.
That terrifying power was no less than ten divine kingdoms descending simultaneously, and Frigga was at the center of the power. The flesh on her body was torn apart, and the blood floated in the air before quickly evaporating.
With a pained expression, Frigga’s lips turned pale, and she screamed in pain.
Antonio’s face lit with joy, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He realized that it was a trap when Frigga called him over, and he was worried that Frigga would use some tricks. However, Frigg was easily subdued without any tricks, and he had even set up a trap with that strength. Was he asking for trouble?
As if sensing his confusion, another girl who looked like Frigga appeared beside her, who was screaming in the air. She winked at Antonio. “Are you wondering why there are two of us? Take a good look at the person you attacked. ”
Antonio looked carefully and found that the person who looked like Frigga had a layer of illusory light on her body. Her appearance was changing from Frigga’s to Vivian’s. The woman closed her eyes in pain, and her body was stained with blood. Frigga, who was in the cage used to protect Vivian, had moved and got into it.
“When did the exchange take place?” Antonio’s face paled. He roared like a beast and rushed in Vivian’s direction. Her appearance broke his heart. The guilt in his heart grew when he realized that he had mistaken Vivian for someone else and that he had almost killed her.
“You knew that it was a trap for you to come here, and you were worried that others would know, so you only came here with Reid. How arrogant! Then, you can’t even distinguish between Vivian and my illusion. How lazy! Finally, you can’t do anything even as your beloved lay there dying. You must be angry!”
Antonio’s body shook, and his bloodshot eyes glared at her. “Shut up. Don’t say anymore.”
Holding Vivian in his arms, Antonio canceled the ten magical fountains above his head and left the life source magical fountains alone. He injected a large amount of life force into Vivian’s body and dispelled the other elements. The process was relatively slow. After all, Antonio had gone all-out to defeat Frigga, which resulted in a huge amount of magic elements invading Vivian’s body.
The massive amount of magic power had almost destroyed Vivian’s body, including her soul. No matter how much life energy Antonio injected into her, it was useless. That discovery made Antonio despair.
Life energy contained the power of resurrection. Even if Vivian died, she could be resurrected. However, the source of power that he had used contained the death element. The characteristic of the death-elemental magic source was that people could die immediately and could not be resurrected. The result of the two completely different powers was that Vivian would not die, but she could not be resurrected after she died either.
Vivian slowly opened her eyes and stared at the handsome platinum-haired man in front of her. She subconsciously reached her right hand outward as if she wanted to touch Antonio’s cheek. He immediately grabbed her hand and put it on his face.
Antonio forced an ugly smile when he felt her cold touch. “Vivian, I’m here.”
Vivian’s palm was cold, and her body was also full of scars. She was still as beautiful as she was 400 years ago, but there were a lot of changes in her appearance. As he thought of Vivian’s suffering over the past 400 years, Antonio felt a pang of sadness.
He was a respected mage in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but Vivian had become a sinner in the Elven Kingdom because she helped him steal the water from the Spring of Life. Before that, he suppressed his feelings to protect the Holy Dragon Kingdom. No matter the reason, he had wronged the woman in front of him. He did not expect to hurt Vivian again.
“Antonio, do you remember the agreement I made with you? If you can’t keep the agreement, you have to come to the Forest of Eternity to see me. Fortunately, you still remember our agreement. It’s great that you have kept it.”
Gently caressing Antonio’s face, Vivian felt the warmth from his face. The corner of her mouth curled as she smiled. “It has been more than 400 years. I thought you had become an old man. I didn’t expect you to be so young! But your expression is too bitter. Isn’t it good to be a little happy when you see me?”
I’m very happy. That’s an ideal expression.” Antonio’s lips trembled, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
He never thought that he would face such a situation after he decided to go to the Forest of Eternity. He had thought about that. He reasoned that if he did not see Vivian for more than 400 years, she would blame him for arriving so late, or she would ignore him, or she would simply no longer like him. He could accept all of those. The only thing he could not accept was her death.
“Why are you still crying? You’re like a child. You’re already so old. Isn’t it embarrassing?” The smile on Vivian’s face became gentler, the palm on Antonio’s face drooped powerlessly, and his empty eyes looked at the sky. “Did you know? I’ve been dressing carefully every day in the Forest of Eternity because I didn’t know when you would come. That’s 365 a year for 400 years, and that’s 146,000 days. You’re finally here! I also fantasize about what would happen after seeing you. The Elven King will definitely not let me go, but I don’t care anymore. For you, I can give up my identity as an elf. We can find a quiet place to give birth to an elven baby, a boy or a girl. A boy like you, a girl like me.”
Halfway through her words, Vivian began to cough violently. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth and dripped to the ground, leaving a touch of shocking red.
“Don’t talk anymore. Have a good rest. I’ll bring you to my disciple later! You must not have known that I recently took in an amazing young man. His name is Watson. He is the most outstanding person I have seen in 400 years. It was because I met him that I made up my mind to find you. At the moment, I don’t have any ideas to treat your injury, but he can certainly do it.”
“Watson must be amazing. It’s great that you have an outstanding disciple to accompany you when I’m not around.”
Vivian’s voice became lighter, and the light in her eyes gradually disappeared. Her eyes finally turned to the sky, where a goshawk was rapidly flying across the sky.
“But it would be even better if the person accompanying you was me. For a time, I envied the birds in the sky. Even though they do not have great power, they look so free. As long as they spread their wings, they can fly anywhere. Unlike me, I was born as the guardian of the Moon Well. If only I were not an elf or a guardian. I hope I can be a human like you in my next life! You have to live a happy life in the future, Antonio. Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life.”
Vivian leaned into Antonio’s arms, closed her eyes, and took her last breath.
