Do you feel guilty about this to me?
[Normally, the natural awakening of your clan would make the user of the Shadow Warrior Armor feel something and take action. But for so many years, Williams didn't feel anything.]
“.....”
As for the so-called guilt, Luo Ya didn't even know where to start.
After knowing the series of things about Williams, Luo Ya, who got a "death exemption", didn't feel happy. Instead, he was angry. But he had to admit that he actually understood the Alde clan's approach rationally.
Was the Alde clan wrong? From their point of view, they weren't wrong. The users of the armor were obviously voluntary. They must have received great kindness from the Alde clan and were willing to repay with their lives. The purpose of doing this was only to prevent the sudden death of their clansmen due to the awakening of their bloodline. Remember!
Under the street lamp, the black-haired boy opened his eyes. He looked at the girl beside him calmly and said softly:
“！”
[Why? Williams is very strong. He must be of great help to Mr. Luo Ya, right?]
Facing Luo Ya's sudden question, the pink-haired girl's pen paused. She blinked and didn't know how to answer for a moment. The black-haired boy saw this and smiled faintly.
Looking at the starry sky in the distance, the black-haired boy sighed under Theresa's surprised gaze and said:
"The reason is very simple. Because we are warriors who resist fate. We resist the fate of certain death, the fate of the decline of our clan, and the unfortunate fate of our loved ones. We are in a desperate situation, but we will never bow to fate. This is our spirit and also our glory. Because of this, Akkad can survive for thousands of years after its inheritance was cut off."
The young man's resolute voice caused the girl beside him to widen her eyes. On the other side, the white-haired witch silently chanted the hero's name as the corner of her lips curled up. The Earth Mother closed her eyes in peace. In the blood-colored plains, the eyes of the gigantic skeleton burst out with radiance. That was the praise from a warrior who was equally as great.
Luo Ya didn't deny the concerns and actions of the ancestors of the Alde Clan. However, as the saying went, there were things that a great man should and shouldn't do. Luo Ya wouldn't back down on some choices.
[But Williams is very stubborn. I don't think he'll give up on bringing you away. He thinks it's his duty and his goal.]
"I hope that he can choose again and choose his own goal."
"That's right. If his purpose is to become a guardian of the past prophecy, then our differences will probably always exist. I will also insist on rejecting him. But if his purpose is to become someone who can travel together with me and fight alongside me, then I will use the way of the Country of Knights to let him understand that his fate has changed and meaningless sacrifices are no longer necessary."
"Well then, Miss Theresa, let's call it a night. Thank you for telling me all this."
Hearing the words of the pink-haired girl, Luo Ya nodded slightly and turned around to leave the commercial street. Theresa smiled at the young man's back until Luo Ya completely disappeared. Then, she turned her gaze to a corner behind her. And under her gaze, the young girl in a cloak and full of armor finally appeared.
[Hmm, he should have noticed it too. Your presence is too unique.]
After several interactions, Theresa actually had the intention to understand Luo Ya's character. Today's conversation was also based on the premise that Theresa believed that Luo Ya wouldn't accept Williams' self-sacrifice. And the reason was simple. As an elder sister, Theresa didn't want her distant relative to have such an ending.
Every time she saw Williams in this state, Theresa, who used to play with him when they were young, would feel heartache. Both of them had the bloodline of dragons. She, who was known as the Princess of Curses, lived a luxurious life and was loved by the people. However, a real princess couldn't even wear a dress.
[How is it, Mina? Are you happy? Didn't I say that he wouldn't leave you alone?]
The young girl in armor lowered her head, not knowing how to react. Theresa smiled and wrote:
"What?"
“.....”
Noble and proud, fearless and powerful. Isn't this the spirit that a knight pursues?
Thinking so, the young girl ridiculed the young man's duplicity in her heart. She had to admit that Luo Ya's performance in the previous battle had trampled on the young girl's points. It was also because of this that Williams hid in a panic and only dared to show himself after leaving.
What's left was a true competition of strength.
Before such a major competition began, the contestants would deliberately avoid contact. On one hand, it was to prevent being accused of colluding to manipulate the competition. On the other hand, private contact could affect the fighting spirit of both sides, thus affecting the results of the competition.
In the eyes of the young man, this was no longer just a competition for the championship of the Challenger's Cup. It was also a competition to prove his beliefs and strength. His opponent wasn't just Williams, but also the will left behind by Alfred from a thousand years ago, which was no longer in line with the times.
Due to the controversial nature of the previous match between Williams and Lilian, the reputation of the tournament organizers had taken a hit. Regarding this, the tournament planners had to actively deal with public relations and the method was to divert the attention of the public to the next match.
Although the battle between Luo Ya and Williams wasn't as eye-catching as the 'battle of the century' or the 'clash of the two strongest geniuses' due to the difference in their strength, it was fortunate that Luo Ya's performance throughout the competition was outstanding.
Many spectators in the Austin Empire believed that Lilian's match was rigged. A considerable number of them were antagonistic towards Williams, so they hoped that Luo Ya would win. But it must be said that these spectators in the Austin Empire weren't Luo Ya's supporters. To be precise, they supported anyone who wasn't Williams to become the champion.
This year's Challenger's Cup was the only one where the age of participants was lowered. But after the cruel elimination, the two contestants who made it to the finals were both first-year students. This became the biggest explosive point of the competition.
The meaning of the words' golden generation 'could be said to be quite significant. In history, those who were crowned with this title were the heroes of the generation who led the race through the crisis when mankind was facing a crisis. In the current situation where the alien race was in danger, this word represented the future of mankind.
The promotion of the championship title made the entire competition even more important. The news media, the people of Leinster, the spectators from all over the world, and even the official teams of each country were a little restless. They began to stand on the side to create momentum for the contestants they favored. Under the notice of the casino and in front of the bar counter in the tavern, all kinds of disputes continued.
In the Leinster Battle Arena, more than a hundred contestants who passed the preliminary round had gathered again. They were waiting in the spectator seats to see who would become the champion of the younger generation. In the commentator seats, the officials of the Theocracy and the Country of Knights were also nervous. Of course, they hoped that their countries would obtain the final honor. At the highest point, Antonio's face was calm and the corners of his mouth were curled up in a smile.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the opening music played and the final curtain slowly opened.
