C461 Complete(1)
"Flower basket, Marina's spirit soul is inside the flower basket. I hope that when you erupted just now, the undying king's soul shattering hammer did not shatter her." Dukat Kane eagerly dragged the flower basket and followed.
Ah, I almost fell head first again. If the undying king swung his hammer to block the spirit souls that filled the sky and completely destroyed Marina's spirit soul, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?
The ice worm Duriel crawled in front of me and said something with a rustling sound. Facing this ugly ice worm, I suddenly have an indescribable guilt. After all, Cecilia died in my hands.
Dukat Kane smiled and said, "It would be best if Duriel came with us. Hardell is his teacher. I think he would like to pay a visit to Master too."
I focused my gaze on this ugly and heart-wrenching ice worm and asked softly, "How did he end up in such a state?"
Dukat Kane sighed and said, "Six hundred years ago, in order to protect the Lady of Pain, Duriel's body was burned by the flames of the two extremes. In order to not become a wandering soul without an owner, he could only occupy one Demonic Beast's body. Hiding under the deep sea, he struggled to survive until now. It's very pitiful."
I frowned, thinking, How did you know he came from the deep sea? Could it be that you guys had a deep conversation in Cecilia's flower basket?
Duriel continued to whisper, but I could not understand a single word. I could only look helplessly at Dukat Kane.
Dukat Kane smiled and said, "He said that you have carried him for so long. Now it is his turn to carry you. Let's carry him on our back. Don't stand on ceremony." After saying that, he climbed onto Duriel's back.
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "I apologize for offending you!" Only then did I jump onto his back.
The ice worm Duriel immediately took action, leaping down from the peak of Mount Arreat.
"Aiya!" Dukat Kane's heart and soul were shattered as he screamed.
My heart also started to beat rapidly. This mountain is ten thousand feet high. If I jump down, wouldn't I be crushed into pieces?
A gust of demonic wind blew, and Duriel actually glided in the air.
I have a strange feeling in my heart. Could it be that the mysterious expert who has been using wind magic to help me is him?
Duriel's huge body flew in the air for a while before landing steadily on the ground. The moment he landed, the speed of the ice worm was so fast that it left me speechless. I saw it! Ice and snow filled the sky, and in an instant, Duriel had carried us across the frozen tundra.
A cold wind blew against my face. Dukat Kane hid behind me, shivering, "Can't you slow down? This old man can't take it anymore."
Duriel didn't stop, steadily flying forward.
I sat on Duriel's back. Only then did I have the time to stare at Marina without being disturbed. With this look, time seemed to have frozen. Marina was wearing the fully armed armor that I had personally forged. The deep blue Livia's eyes were filled with snow white forehead. Marina seemed to have fallen asleep and there was no pain. There is no grief and there seems to be a trace of satisfaction.
My tears fell and turned into ice crystals under the cold air emitted by the ice worm. One by one, they fell on Marina's forehead. But perhaps Marina will never know that I shed tears for her again. Up until now, I have never successfully revived a body with a soul. Do I really have the ability to revive her?
Ennyah was dead, and Natalya and Ekdo were also in dire straits. Now that Marina had also left, the happy time in Rogge had already passed. I curse my own fate, I cannot control my sadness.
"Marina, are you cold?" I foolishly looked at Marina, who no longer had any signs of life. I gently lifted her left arm and rubbed it against my face.
Marina's left hand remained tightly clenched as if she was holding something important. I flipped over her wrist and saw half of the parchment paper.
My heart started to race, parchment paper? Is it the parchment paper in Cecilia's wooden box?
I gently counted Marina's fingers, but I was unable to open them. She held it so tightly that even if her soul were to scatter, she would never let go.
I did not dare to disturb Marina too much and gently pulled out a corner of the parchment paper. "The answer is there." I saw the last few words. There was no mistake. This is the parchment that Cecilia left for me. Wasn't it snatched away by Brodie? Why is it in Marina's hands?
I gently caressed Marina's fingers. Marina seemed to have some sort of reaction as she slowly loosened her tightly clenched fingers.
The sheepskin rolled up into a ball and seemed to wrap around something. I gently placed Marina's head on my thigh. With trembling hands, I slowly spread open that piece of parchment paper.
Three black keys were revealed. One was Omas's Key of Hatred, the other was Cecilia's Key of Pain, and the other was something I had never seen before.
My heart and breathing instantly stopped, and my brain roared. I understand why Marina treated me that way. She was putting on an act. Not only did her performance deceive Brodie, but also... Even lied to me. Her parting love was completely to help me take back the barrier key.
I seemed to see Marina's tears falling when she turned around. It was as if I saw Marina facing the night sky alone. She knitted her brows tightly and felt sad alone. It was as if she saw Marina holding the three barrier keys and excitedly following my footsteps to the peak of Mount Arreat.
"I'm so stupid!" I slapped myself hard and could not help but cry out in grief.
In order to defend my self-esteem, I loudly proclaimed on the ship that I only love Talitha. When I met Marina in Lut Gholein, I pretended to be expressionless. When Anand asked me where I was going, I said, "Forget about me in pairs."
"You kept helping me, no matter how much pain I caused you. Is a despicable man like me worthy of you dying for me? "
Duriel's speed slowed down, and he stopped at a place close to the border of the Harrogath. I quietly waited for my emotions to calm down. In a trance, it only took Duriel half a day to rush back from the peak of Mount Arreat to Harrogath. That speed was truly astonishing.
