The others were so shocked by my sudden appearance that they couldn't say a word. They even forgot to fight.
Then, only Delamere and I were left fighting one-on-one. The others couldn't interfere at all.
Our intense battle caused many cracks to appear on the not so sturdy mountain. The entire lair could collapse at any time. Rocks kept falling from the sky. Meldas quickly brought the others out of the lair.
"It seems that this is no longer a battle that we can participate in," Flants said.
"Let's go. If we stay here, we might die at any time," Meldas said solemnly.
Finally, everyone retreated from the yao art master's lair. Only Delamere and I remained in the lair, locked in battle. We stared at each other and both of us were injured.
"Nightmare Invasion, let me let you feel the anger from hell," Delamere said. A black light flashed and enveloped me.
Nightmare Invasion was an extremely terrifying magic spell. The power of Nightmare Invasion was to make the target fall into an endless and terrifying hell and fight continuously. It was similar to a sealing spell, until the target died in battle. Otherwise, they would never be able to escape.
"Yan Long's Roar," I released my strongest magic too.
Following my roar, a dazzling red light instantly dispelled the black light enveloping my body and bounced off Delamere's body.
"No!" With a loud sound, Delamere was sent flying and slammed into the wall behind him.
Gradually, Delamere's body started to disappear from the bottom of his feet.
I fell to the ground and panted as I looked at Delamere who was disappearing.
"It ended just like that?" Delamere's consciousness started to blur.
Delamere felt as though he had returned to the past. Back then, he and Ailovis were both princes of the Elf Kingdom. They both fell in love with the Moon God's Great Druid Karina at the same time. However, the Great Druid loved Delamere more. The older brother, Ailovis, was jealous of his younger brother and reported the relationship between Delamere and the Great Druid to the Elf King. The Moon God's Great Druid was a servant of God and couldn't fall in love. When the Elf King heard about this, he was furious and ordered the Great Druid to be burned to death. Delamere had no choice but to take his lover and escape from the Elf Kingdom. However, Ailovis refused to let Delamere go. He defeated Delamere and captured the Great Druid. The Archdruid was brought back to the elven kingdom and burned to death in front of all the elves.
Delamere was so angry that he lost his mind. He swore to destroy the Elven Kingdom to avenge his lover. Later on, Delamere met the Black Dragon Irdele. Irdele imparted a portion of his power to him. Delamere took Lawson, the only flesh and blood the Great Druid left for him, and hid in the Dark Forest, degenerating into a Warlock. Before that, he had used the seeds of the poisonous vines to create the Dark Elves.
"Karina, we are about to be reunited. There will be no more pain." Delamere finally disappeared from this space.
Suddenly, a shadow flew out of Delamere's body and into mine.
"This is the third magic equipment, Atholl's Freedom. It is also called Shadow Wings. It belongs to you now …" These were the last words Delamere said.
At the borders of the Elven Kingdom, there was fighting everywhere. Corpses were strewn everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed.
The battle between the Dark Elven Army and the Elven Army had reached its climax. With a deafening explosion, Lawson, who was leading the Dark Elven Army, saw the Warlock's nest in the distance completely collapse.
"Father!" Lawson cried out in pain.
At this moment, Lawson and Mina led the remnants of the Dark Elven Army and were surrounded by Killian's Elven Army.
"It's over. You and your Dark Elven Army." Killian pointed his sword at Lawson.
"As long as I don't die, don't even think about hurting him." Mina, the Heart of Flames, stood in front of Lawson. She had lost an arm.
"Don't fight like a cornered beast." Killian said.
"My father won't die." Lawson didn't know if he was lying to himself.
"Then I'll grant you your wish!" Jilleen flew towards Lawson, a powerful wave of magic preventing Lawson from moving.
He looked on helplessly as the cold blade pierced through his chest. Blood slowly dripped onto Lawson's face. However, Lawson didn't die, because Mina had used her body to block the sword for him.
"Little fool, I know you've liked me since you were young. But from the moment I chose to follow your father, King Delamere, I fell deeply in love with this melancholy man. Live … well." Mina spat out a mouthful of blood and her body turned into flames, dissipating with the wind before Lawson's eyes.
"No!" Lawson cried out in pain.
Killian didn't stop. The tip of his sword slanted upwards, cutting Lawson's left eye and causing blood to spurt out.
In pain, Lawson lost his footing and fell off the cliff. Killian led his army to annihilate the remaining remnants of the Dark Elven Army. Just like that, the great war came to an end.
The war had finally come to an end. History was written by the victors.
A few days later, a grand celebration was held in the plaza of the Elven Kingdom's capital, Ivinia.
During the ceremony, Elven King Ailovis personally gave out medals to all who contributed. Everyone received a medal of glory made from elven gems.
Under the radiance of flowers and light, Ailovis announced that the war had ended with the Elven Kingdom's complete victory.
Meldas once again became a legendary figure among the elves, but he didn't care much about glory. No one knew where he went to roam the world.
"Brave warriors of freedom, the darkness has never forced us to submit. We have risked our lives for our homeland. This war has caused many of our companions and loved ones to leave us, but their sacrifice was worth it. The Moon Goddess will not abandon our Elven Kingdom. Now, let us remember those brave warriors … "Elven King Ailovis gave his speech in the plaza.
The celebration lasted for the entire morning. After that, it was a celebration of victory. The elves toasted to their victory.
No one knew what I had encountered in the Warlock's lair that day. Even I had lost that part of my memory. I only remembered the battle with the Warlock Delamere after I woke up.
Now, I had already collected three of Atholl's magic weapons. I still didn't know how to use them, nor did I know what they meant to me. I didn't know why they knew my name every time, as if they had known me from the start.
All of this is a mystery to me.
No matter what, it was time for us to return. This time, our team had one more member, and that was the famous Sinka Sea Pirate Leader, Loftis. I thought about what Hiseside The Elder would say to us every time we returned.
"Children, welcome home!"
Who knows, maybe tomorrow would be a new adventure. I was already satisfied with the company of my companions.
