Chapter 623 The Painted World Ishruna Good night and sweet dreams
The blazing torrent of light traveled backwards, penetrating through the Sun of Flame hanging in the sky, destroying the heart of flame within it.
The aura of the mad fire that lost its flame heart suddenly dropped sharply, and the overall look became too bleak, and it instantly became sluggish. A face could be faintly seen emerging on the surface, letting out a painful wail.
He stared at Gray, his malicious eyes making people shudder.
The epileptic sun shrank, became darker and darker, and finally formed a form similar to a black hole.
Suddenly, a bright line of fire shot out from it, piercing the space, and when it reappeared, it was already very close to Gray.
This was the final counterattack of the Mad Fire. He gathered all his strength and tried to die together with Gray, who had defeated him.
Kirshtalia's expression changed drastically, and she didn't care at all about the nearly exhausted magic power in her body. In the blink of an eye, she released a large amount of protective magic on Gray, and layers of barriers rose up to protect Gray.
to the back.
With such protection strength, even humans using forbidden weapons can ensure their own safety in the center of the explosion.
It's just that this kind of protection did not block the line of fire at all, it had no effect at all, and it couldn't even delay the slightest time.
And Gray, who had just released the Noble Phantasm, had a large amount of magic power extracted from her body, and was still a little short of it, making her a little tired. By the time she reacted, the bright line of fire had already arrived in front of her.
It penetrated layers of barriers and protective spells.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid the blow, but her body seemed to be a little slower.
Sometimes a beat slower is the distance between life and death.
Suddenly, Gray's vision went dark, and she saw a book floating in front of her, blocking the blow on her behalf.
That blow, which was enough to penetrate the world, fell on the surface of the book and disappeared silently, like a mud cow entering the sea.
"This book is..."Poetry of Red"?"
She recognized the book, a prophecy book that recorded the origin and end of the world in legend, but she didn't expect that it actually helped block the blow in the end.
"Little girl Gray..."
A weak and exhausted voice suddenly came from the book, but the voice was so familiar.
"I really want to see you again this time, thank you very much..."
Gale's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared. The Red Book suspended in mid-air also lost its brilliance and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Gale——?!"
But this time there was no response to her voice, and the convulsive sun also collapsed and completely turned into a black hole that swallowed everything. The small world was shattered and merged into the chaos.
………
………
The stone hall below the church.
The bound knight slowly raised his head, and his dark eyes lit up, but this time it was not the orange fire of madness, but a clear and intellectual gaze.
"Lord Gale...?"
Sister Gurweger noticed the changes in the knight and asked with a trembling voice.
"Yes, it's me."
The knight nodded,
"I have really worked hard for you these past years, Gullweger."
"No, it's not hard... for Mr. Gale... I, I..."
Sister Gullweger's tears slipped silently from her fair face, fell to the ground, and broke into a flower. The emotions of these years surged up all at once, making her unable to stop crying at all.
Gale wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears on Gullweger's face, but he couldn't do it at all. Now he is just a weak soul that should have disappeared long ago, just because the obsession of seeing someone for the last time still exists in the world.
.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Gale..."
Sister Gullweger seemed to have noticed something, and she awkwardly wiped away the tears on her face, and tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth to show her smile.
If Sakura were here, she would be surprised to find that the always expressionless Sister Gullwig can actually smile and look so beautiful.
"How could I laugh at you?"
Gale let out a long sigh, and then gently shook his head.
"I'm really happy to see you again, but I'm really sorry that I have to break my promise to you. I'm really unwilling to do so."
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling above his head. His eyes seemed to penetrate the ground and see the wider outside, and murmured to himself.
"The fire of madness has been killed, and the world has gained a future, but I can't see that future. I obviously still plan to build a wooden house by the lake, and then reclaim a few acres of land in the forest behind it.
, and then occasionally I can go fishing, hunting, strolling by the lake with my loved one, enjoying the summer night sunshine, and then accompany my child to grow up and teach him many things... I have many plans, but unfortunately none of them can be realized.
Okay, I’m really not willing to give in.”
"I'm really unwilling."
Gale repeated again that he was not the legendary fire bearer of the past, nor was he the frivolous big brother that Gray and the others knew, but just an ordinary person with a depressed mood.
"If I hadn't chosen to spread the fire, I might have been able to enjoy this."
"But Lord Gale, will you choose not to pass the fire?"
"Of course not. If I don't spread the fire, I won't know you. If you don't accompany me, what's the point?"
"Lord Gale..."
………
Gale said a lot more. They were all interesting things he and Gullweger had encountered on their journey to spread the fire. Looking back now, they had a different flavor.
"I suddenly felt a little tired..."
"Then take a good rest, Lord Gale."
"Well, good night then, Gullwig."
"Good night, Lord Gale. No, it should be my lover. I wish you sweet dreams."
Gurweger bowed slightly and saluted,
There was a long silence, and no one responded to her words. Great sadness surged into her heart, and a faint orange flame emerged.
"However, as the fire-prevention woman of the Fire-Bearer, I still haven't completed my duties."
She took a deep breath, suppressed the fire of madness again, then pulled out the slender and delicate dagger, and pointed the orange-red blade at her heart.
"It's up to me to cut off this last fire of madness."
The cold sharp blade pierced her heart, and the First Fire attached to it violently collided with the epileptic fire lurking in her body. Then both of them were extinguished, and her vitality also disappeared.
Gurweger walked to Gale, snuggled into his arms, then closed her eyes, quietly waiting for the last moment to arrive.
In a daze, she seemed to have returned to that first day, the day she first met that frivolous, cheerful young man.
He whistled to himself, and then imitated the nobility and performed a nondescript etiquette.
"My name is Gale. I wonder if this beautiful girl, am I lucky enough to know your name?"
"As the fireproof girl who assists the Firebringer, I have given up my name long ago."
"But I really want to know your name."
"Master Fire Bearer, please respect yourself."
"Now, now, just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone else."
"..."
"My heart hurts so much. I probably can't continue my journey of spreading the fire. Only good medicine can save me."
