Chapter 321 The Goodbye (part 1)
Chapter 321 The Goodbye (part 1)
Just as Nhalos launched his arrow in the direction of the green-haired woman, the rest of the soldiers also followed behind and did the same thing.
*Whoosh!*
The moment these arrows crossed half of the distance, time seemed to have come to a standstill. The only people who could see and sense this change were Evelyn and the old man standing to the side.
Suddenly the sky started to crack like shattered glass, and a figure emerged from the cracks. As soon as he walked out of the crack, the sky healed itself, and time returned to normal.
*Whoosh!*
Reaching out for a rusty knife in his robes, the figure enchanted it with a couple of magic circles before launching it in the direction of the arrow rushing at Evelyn at a very fast speed.
*Ting!*
The moment the knife touched the arrow, it shattered into small fragments of light while simultaneously producing a sharp, high-pitched noise in the form of dense sound waves, shattering the rest of the attacks in the middle of the air.
"ARGHH!" hearing the high-pitched sound screaming in their ears, the weaker elves fell to their knees, screaming in pain and holding their ears, hoping that their agony would come to an end.
Evelyn looked up at the sky, a relieved smile appearing on her face. Tears streamed down her face as the glow on her body intensified. "I was right; dying feels better when you are here with me..."
She muttered with a smile as warm as the rays of the sun shining on her. Her eyes tried to etch the memory of the purple-haired mage that stood straight in the air as his golden eyes filled with coldness and killing intent looked at the whole kingdom.
'Ah, he is tired himself again... this idiot.' But her eyes did not even see those emotions in his eyes, instead, they caught the sight of dark circles slowly coming back.
Nhalos, who was still in shock to see his attack shatter like a fragile piece of glass by a worn-out knife, snapped out of his reverie and looked upwards.
"Please undo the magic you have just performed." He looked to the side and saw that the old man had also come closer to them.
"No, I cannot let you die along with me," The look of agony and sadness on the old man's face surprised Evelyn a little before she shook her head. "You said that I was your little sister, right? What kind of little sister would I be if I became the source of my own brother's death?"
"At least don't lie so openly; you do not want the boy to die along with me."
"Can't it be both?" The old man sneered, seeing the cheeky smile on her face, but soon his expression turned solemn as he watched her state worsening.
"You are severing the connection between us," the old man replied, "The demonic blood is consuming your vitality, and your magic is not helping at all. Tell him, boy, make her stop from killing herself."
"No one is dying!" Evelyn wanted to say something, but the mage yelled before using every healing magic he knew of at the same time.

Several magic circles enveloped the woman before a white light tried to heal her wounds, but things did not go as he thought.
"Arghh!"
Instead of healing, her wounds started to aggravate and hurt her even more because of the demonic energy mixed in her system.
"I need to think of something else." The mage immediately stopped the healing process and tried to think of other methods.
"I am sorry that you have to see me like this; I must look really ugly?" Evelyn saw her hands were starting to wrinkle as her arms were growing. In the background, the world tree had also begun to wither. Its leaves grew darker in color, while the branches started to lose their vitality.
"Hey, don't say that!" taking her hands in his own, he looked deep into her eyes, "You are the woman I love, and no matter what happens, I will save you. I cannot even think of living without you."
