Vieya watched lala in silence, reaching out as if to touch her head.
But lala seemed to sense something. She suddenly turned and ran out.
By the crooked fence outside the courtyard, another batch of children had refreshed into existence, clustering there—shouting, kicking at the fence.
lala rushed forward to stop them, but a small stone struck her and knocked her unconscious. Not long after, the group of children trampled the fence to pieces and left in swaggering triumph.
Vieya followed the children, but when she reached the end, they vanished one after another, as if they had never existed at all.
“Just ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ as I thought.”
When she returned to the courtyard, Vieya saw only lala, staring blankly at the ground with unfocused eyes.
Vieya healed lala’s injuries again, but this time, lala felt none of the joy she had felt the previous time, when all the wounds across her body had vanished.
lala silently stood up, her figure still swaying slightly. freeweɓnovel.cøm
The sun in the sky sank from east to west into the sea. Shadows on the ground lengthened, faded, and slipped into the depths of night.
【Lost: the process of losing one’s way psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and beginning to step into the abyss.】
Suddenly—
lala felt her hand being held. It was warm.
She lifted her head, about to curl her lips into a smile and say she was fine, when Vieya tightened her grip slightly and pulled her up from the ground.
“How many of your three thousand sacrifices are left? I’ll help you.”
“Eh?” lala froze.
“Tell me. I’ll help you.” Vieya repeated.
lala thought for a moment, then answered honestly, lacking confidence. “There are still 2,971 left.”
“Alright.” Vieya said lightly. “Then when you complete all three thousand sacrifices, what wish will you make?”
“I want to...”
lala suddenly rose onto her toes and leaned close to Vieya’s shoulder, whispering softly,
“...to obtain a new future.”
As her words fell, the sun rose into the sky once more, yet the stars remained brilliant, refusing to fade away with the moon.
A future... what a grand word.
Vieya began taking lala along to collect the items for the sacrifices—vaulting over courtyard walls, blinking, taking objects from afar. One technique followed another without pause, leaving lala watching from the side in breathless amazement.
And so, the flow of time within the space grew faster and faster. Sun and moon cycled, stars shifted. The tides rose and fell, fell and rose again.
Yet the belongings in those fishermen’s homes seemed to refresh every day—taken one day, replenished the next.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cycles of sunrise and sunset passed.
The diligent slime helped lala gather all three thousand prerequisites for the prayer.
That day, gales howled across the sea, thunder and lightning tore the sky apart, and hundreds of millions of tons of water poured down as if the Heavenly River had burst open!
The tiny fishing village swayed in the wind and rain. The world turned dark as dusk, and seawater had already flooded up to Vieya’s ankles.
“Hold on to my hand. I’ll take you to the shore.” Vieya turned back and said to lala, who was clutching the final sacrifice behind her.
At the same time—
Aislin, who was in a shallow layer of consciousness, was also affected. She sat aboard a miraculous magic ark named 【Swan】, witnessing a terrifying war.
This was a war between humans and the demon race, a war between Hero and Demon King. freēwēbnovel.com
A Hero clad in silver-white armor clashed with a Demon King who commanded storms and the sea. Every arc of sword energy spanned thousands of miles, carving wounds into the boundless ocean that refused to heal for a long time.
The Demon King hovered between sea and sky, storm and raging waters tamed into supreme authority within their grasp.
Rumble—!
Each exchange sent shockwaves that overturned heaven and earth, flipping the seas.
As the pinnacle masterpiece of human magic and technology, xxlkk says: welcome to read this book at the fanfiction website tongrenxsw.com! The colossal 【Swan】 magic ark, towering like a mountain, seemed as insignificant as a fallen leaf upon the water at this moment.
Aislin had never imagined that a clash between a Demon King and a Hero could be this terrifying. The scene far surpassed the Demon King she had faced years ago together with Vieya and that blue-haired Hero.
Far surpassed it!
“Aislin, steady it! We can’t capsize!” Lano’s shout came from beside her. “Something’s happened on Vieya’s side. You’re her only insurance!”
“But I don’t know how to pilot a ship!” Aislin was drenched in sweat.
By the heavens’ mercy—born among the elves, she had almost never come into contact with humanity’s wondrous creations, especially not something like a magic ark!
A magic ark that normally required hundreds of experienced humans to operate—and you want an elf who can’t even recognize the buttons to control it?
Are you serious?!
“It’s fine! You’ll learn now!” Lano kept talking. “Her Majesty has already summoned the elders most familiar with humans from our clan. Hold on! We’ll all help you devise plans and guide you as you learn to pilot the ship!”
“Alright!”
Across the storm-wracked sea.
Vieya carried lala on her back, wading through icy rainwater that had risen to her knees, heading deeper into the ocean.
Every step meant resisting the force of the storm. One slip, and they would be blown away.
The darkened sky pressed lower and lower. They moved farther and farther from the small fishing village.
Behind them, the village looked like a tiny roadside shrine, flickering faintly—before being reduced to drifting ash like a scrap of paper in the face of catastrophic natural disaster.
