Chapter 103 : Tears
Now on Duskwild,
The spear did not stop after hitting the Diamond Heart Emperor. It continued moving toward Princess Freya.
The Stone Plant Prince's main target was Princess Freya. She was the reason he was now in this condition.
He hates Freya beyond anything.
Ank quickly appeared in front of Freya, hugged her with his left hand, stopped the spear with his right hand, and threw it back at the Stone Plant Prince.
And Ank smiled.
This smile was a mocking smile.
He was laughing at the stone plant prince,how he thought they would harm Freya then he stood beside her .
The Stone Plant Prince did not understand what had happened.
There was now a hole in his stomach.
The spear he had thrown toward Freya pierced his own body.
He cannot see the spear then Ank throws towards him.
He crashed heavily onto the ground.
From the impact, another shockwave was produced, sending millions of soldiers into the air and then crushing them onto the ground.
Commander Elyn tried to protect the soldiers but failed.
Millions of soldiers died once again.
Princess Celestia and Princess Seraphina quickly rushed toward the Emperor.
They both see how many spears pierced their father's body.
Their faces became horrified and started praying to gods that their father survive.
But they both did not know that gods did not hear their prayers because of Ank.
They are now connected to Ank destiny.
And gods already abandoned this planet because of Ank and hoping stone plant monsters destroyed this planet with Ank.
Ank also moved toward the Emperor while holding Freya. He did not release her from his embrace.
Freya was shocked but she had a feeling that Ank would save their father.
And Ank warm gave her a different kind of energy she never experienced a sense of Protection that she would achieve anything as much she want.
The first person to arrive was Prince Marek.
Marek was once again revived by a mysterious entity, but this time the entity had set a condition, which Marek accepted.
This condition was what led to the downfall of the Diamond Heart.
"Emperor!" Prince Marek shouted and used a healing potion on the Emperor. His hands were trembling, but he forced them to obey his will.
He was afraid. If something happened to the Emperor, how would he face everyone as the First Prince and future Emperor? This was his responsibility, to protect everyone.
The Emperor had many spears embedded in his body, and his soul had already left him.
He was dead, but Prince Marek refused to believe it. He hoped the Emperor would wake up.
He removed all the spears from the Emperor's body.
"No… no…"
"This cannot happen."
"Wake up, Emperor."
"You cannot leave like this."
"Wake up."
Prince Marek shouted while crying.
He once again cannot do anything.
Princess Seraphina and Princess Celestia arrived and froze in place.
They could not believe their father was dead
.
They both sat on the ground and tried to wake the Emperor, just as Marek was doing.
Seraphina and Celestia began to cry, tears flowing from their eyes.
Before the tears could touch the ground, Ank reached them and wiped their tears away with his hand.
"You know, once I promised you both that no one would ever make you cry again."
"I had not forgotten."
Ank spoke.
But he was confused. He did not know why he had said those words.
His voice had spoken on its own, without his permission.
And then a flashback appeared.
Two girls, identical to Seraphina and Celestia but younger, around ten to twelve years old, were crying.
Around them lay millions of monster corpses.
Ank stood in the middle of the massacre.
"I told you both they would pay with their lives."
"Now smile," Ank said, smiling.
"Let's move to another place. I will erase this place as well."
"And promise me you will never tell your big sister what I did to them."
"You know how much she hates blood."
"And smile again."
The two girls wiped their tears and said in unison,
"Yes, we will not tell her what you did, Ank."
"Yes."
"But we have one condition."
"No!" Ank said quickly.
Both girls pouted.
Ank felt awkward seeing them like that.
"Okay. Let's meet our big sister first, then we will talk. If she agrees, I will consider it."
"But remember, do not tell her what happened here."
"If you tell her, I will finish…"
He laughed awkwardly.
The flashback ended.
Ank was confused, but he had no time to think.
He used a spell to revive the Diamond Heart Emperor.
This was the last chance to use this spell, and he used it.
He knew his mother had given him this spell for this moment.
The Emperor's wounds slowly healed.
Seraphina and Celestia immediately hugged him.
Prince Marek felt relieved.
He was also astonished, thinking about what Ank truly was.
Reviving someone was something only a god could do.
But he knew it would be rude to ask.
Freya released herself from Ank and joined her sisters in hugging the Emperor.
"My daughters," the Emperor whispered.
"Father!" the three princesses cried together, embracing him as if afraid he might leave them again.
Ank stood aside, watching quietly. Exhaustion was clear in his eyes, but a faint smile rested on his face.
For a moment, Ank was happy.
He felt that he was somehow connected to the three of them.
He tried to remember who Freya was, hoping a flashback would appear.
Only one voice echoed in his mind.
"I believe in you."
His head began to hurt.
He quickly healed himself and watched
Seraphina, Celestia, and Freya smile.
Ank knew this was the peace he wanted in the end.
But peace never lasted in Ank's story.
The ground began to tremble once more.
A cold wind swept across the plain.
Above them, the moon turned bright white.
The entire planet was covered in white energy.
Once again, the Stone Plant Prince awakened.
White energy now covered his entire body.
