Chapter 111 – Chapter 111 the High Elf’s Hope Lucy Springs (2)

Diana was dying.
No, her consciousness had already sensed her death and closed her eyes.
What took the place of Diana’s consciousness, which had sunk into her deep abyss.

– I can’t die!

It was Leona.

-I can’t die like this!

Diana stabbed herself in the chest, and her blood was flowing.
But Leona couldn’t move her own body.

“Do you want to live like that?”

Yulia, who twisted the space and walked holding her body to the Demon King, asked.

-Of course. I want to live!

She was just born.
Leona’s consciousness was born only a month ago.
It was after the polluted fountain of life entered Diana’s body.
She lived a happy life loved by the Demon Lord, but it was too short.
Now I’m starting to know the world and feel the joy.

“Great. You just have to have the will to live like that. Then you will be able to live.”
– Is that okay? No, can you hear me?
“Sure. Are you making fun of the succubus?”

And her body arrived in front of the Demon King.
Leona dying, bleeding her blood.

Her demon lord slowly walked towards her.

“Foolish, to choose death yourself.”
-Ah, Demon King.

The devil’s demonic energy touched her body.
Diana’s soul has already fallen into the deep abyss.
Her ring attached to her body did not respond at all.

The demon king removed the ring made from the branch of the World Tree and applied demonic energy to the wound.

Swoop.

Magi began to cover the wound.
If she were a normal human or elf, her wounds would have rotted away from that power, but Diana’s dark elf body slowly accepted that power.

The Demon King’s demonic energy was accumulated inside her body, but Diana’s death was still caused by deep wounds.

“Frey.”
“Okay. Don’t look at me.”

Frey poured her blood into the affected area.

Knock.

A drop of Frey’s blood caused a chemical reaction with the magic that dwelled in Diana’s body.
Slowly, Magi bloomed, healing her wounds.

The blood stopped, and the cracked flesh and bones attached.

“The rest will recover on its own over time.”

At Frey’s words, the Demon King nodded her head.

“Leona.”

I hear the voice of her Demon Lord calling her.

-Yes, Demon King.
“It will come back over time. So until then…….”

The demon king’s face comes closer and closer.

“To completely engulf Diana’s mind.”

It was the noble order of the great Demon King.
It was too easy a mission for the Demon King to offer in exchange for her saving her life.
It was too easy to prey on Diana’s spirit, who had completely disappeared into the water.
Because it was

-All right. Demon King. I’ll take your order.

She swore before the demon king.
She couldn’t have heard it, but she answered again and again saying yes.

He said her body could recover.
Then, Leona had only one thing to do.

-We must find Diana’s soul that has sunk into the abyss.

Leona began to search for Diana’s soul in the expanse of her psyche.
It would be all too easy for her to prey upon a sleeping soul, if only to find her soul.

Leona wandered around Diana’s mental world.

“You went looking for a dragon?”
“Yes, Demon King.”
“Are you sure?”
“As Diana stabbed herself with a sword through her chest, she left a will to the last high elf.”
“It’s a dragon…….”
“You don’t have to worry.”
“The reason is?”
“Dragons are strong, but they have many limitations.”

Restrictions?
Was there anything like that?

“In the past, when dragons tried to restore the order of this world, gods and angels prevented this and put restrictions on the dragons so that they could not use their power.”
“What exactly is a constraint?”
“It is a restriction that you can only use your power under certain circumstances. There are two ways a dragon can use its power. When one’s rare is directly attacked, or when an existence that pays a sufficient price is presented as a great warrior.”
“Isn’t a high elf an opponent who can pay the price?”
“You’re right. However, in order to use enough power to defeat the Demon King, even a dragon will have to pay a fair price.”
“Is it difficult for a reasonable price?”
“Yes, maybe he wants the lives of all the elves. Especially the Guardians of the Mountains I know are more greedy than any dragon. It is a being who wants to become a god and get out of restrictions. It won’t be worth the price.”
“Are the elves going to self-destruct?”
“Yes.”

How great would it be if it could be like that.
However.

[Sudden Quest – High Elf Lucy has begun.]

The fact that the quest appeared separately meant that it would not have an optimistic ending like Yulia said.

Why did it rise
That quest.

[Warning: This quest was created by not killing Diana.]
[Unnecessary quests are harmful to future capture…….]

The system emphasized as if to warn me.
However, I no longer believe in my personal opinion except for the list of quests.

Harmful?
Does not matter.
Just ignore it and clear it.

“If you fulfill all of those conditions and gain strength, how strong will you be?”
“If that happens, maybe…….”

Julia opened her mouth.

“You can lose with the current Demon King. The high elves who received the power of the dragon will be much stronger than expected.”
“Is it.”
“If that is the case, it will be the result of giving up everything and giving up the future of her race.”
“I get it. If so, to be strong in order to be prepared…….”
“Just hug me or Miss Frey.”

The succubus and vampire lords blushed.

***

Lucy is off the battlefield.
She repeated Diana’s last words over and over again.

– Her Guardian of the Mountains She can do it. It will cost a lot though.

A means to defeat the demon lord.
To gain power by offering a price to the guardian of the mountain range.
It was something Diana of the past should never have done, she said.
However, she came back and told her to visit the guardian of the mountain range with her will.

Was it a trick of the fallen Diana?
Or was she the last advice her last will made?

Lucy thought all the way back to the Allies to find the Guardian of the Mountains.

Wicked trap or life-and-death advice.

No matter how much I thought about it, the answer didn’t come out.

‘I have no choice but to go.’

Lucy herself had to judge.
Are Diana’s words really the last hope, or rather, is it a trap for the fallen Diana?

‘I hope it’s hope.’

At least that her older sister, whom she admired, died as an honorable elf to the end of her life.
To prove that, Diana had to be sincere.

Lucy moved.
He passed the capital of the Allied Powers and climbed the huge mountain range along the dwarven mines.
And these mountains.
It was a nest where the guardian of the mountain range was coiled.
A natural barrier that has prevented the invasion of the empire many times before.

Even if the elves gave up part of their land, the mountains would protect them from invasion by the empire.
Most of the land they’re giving out is located outside the mountains.

The closer I got to the Guardian’s nest, the stronger the pressure.
My body trembled at the force so strong that I couldn’t breathe.
It was such a force that even a strong man like Lucy could be weighed down by fear.

Haha.”

He gritted it and climbed up.
I had to go over here to meet the Guardian.

“Whoa, ha.”

Climbed the mountains
Deep in the valley where the Guardians have settled.

-Who are you?

A ghastly voice rang in Lucy’s chest.
A guardian’s words asking the intruder’s name.

“The vigilante guarding the borders of the elves, Lucy Springs, the last high elf.”
-Lucy Springs……. It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. He said he fell asleep for a long time, but wasn’t the sleep longer than expected?
“The Guardian has been asleep for 600 years.”
-Is it so? As time goes on, it gets duller. But……. You are telling lies.
“What?”
-You are not the last high elf.
“What?”
-Isn’t Diana Springs still alive? Ah, if it feels like this, it must be said that she is already half dead.

That her sister is alive?
Lucy bit his lip.

-Two personalities are fighting for possession of the body. It’s mysterious. An existence that would separate the personality of a high elf. What happened while I was sleeping?

At the mention of two personalities, Lucy was somewhat relieved.
I was convinced that the last thing I heard from Diana was the truth.

The voices are getting closer.

“The Demon King has descended. We need Guardian’s help.”
-You mean my help?

The voice got closer.
In a huge cave.

Thud.

Kreureung.

A huge blue dragon appeared.
A blue dragon that would give you a sense of intimidation just by seeing it.

-You know that the conditions for using my power are quite difficult, right?
“Know.”

The dragon snorted.

-Diana ordered it. I want you to borrow my strength.

At the same time, the dragon changed its appearance.
Golden horns, blue hair that came down to her hips, blue eyes that were colder than ice, and a voluptuous blue dress that barely covered her body.
Wearing a dress that was completely open on the side and wearing heels, the blue dragon Europa approached.
To sum up her appearance in one line, it was Missy with her deep eyes.

“This must already be the style of clothing from 600 years ago. Hmmm, do you need to change a little?”

The images of the human form and the dragon form were completely different.
Lucy, unfamiliar with the appearance of Europa in human form, kept her mouth shut for a moment.

“Hmm, did you suddenly disappear? Well, everyone is like that. Even Diana was taken aback when she first saw this.”

Europa spread the fan in his hand and covered his face.
There was a strange power in her eyes as she smiled.

“Whoup!”

If she was even a little weak, she would have been enchanted by that look in her eyes and would have become the dragon’s guardian.

“Your mental strength is stronger than you think?”
“Please stop doing this.”
“Sorry, I was kidding. By the way, did you say Demon King?”
“Yes. The Demon King has descended.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t pass on my power to you. Because my powers are limited.”
“I know. I want to pay the price and gain strength.”
“Are you talking about strength enough to defeat the demon lord?”
“Yes.”
“With that much power…….”

Europa, who was gently fanning her fan, opened her mouth.

“They say that the souls of dead elves go into the World Tree and become her nourishment, right? That way, they become nourishment and become the spirit that protects the World Tree.”
“That’s right.”
“I must give me the souls of the elves who have survived so far.”
“Yes?”
“Give me the right to dispose of souls. So…….”

Blue eyes shone in Europa’s pupils.

“It means that the souls of all the elves who die from now on will become the spirits that protect me.”

Ambition was burning.
The ambition to become a god by absorbing the souls of the elves and releasing the restrictions.
