"Eluna... has always loved you, sister!"
On the Ruins plaza.
The Hunters and Exorcism Team present looked at each other, and a flurry of discussion ensued.
What... just happened?
"It seems... it seems like it's already over?"
"What... you're kidding me! What was that weird thought just now?!"
"What is that black Nen? It's terrifying! Who's controlling those Black Pillars? Is it that girl?!"
Ian, King, and Netero exchanged glances.
They are currently unsure whether the seal has been completed.
Just now.
The black Nen that suddenly appeared on the field was probably just a portion of the sealed Fear-Eater had leaked out. But even from this small part, one can see the whole picture. That terrifying Nen, which seemed to devour people's emotions, was truly bizarre.
If a large number of those monsters were truly sealed away, it would undoubtedly lead to despair.
No wonder... the entire Gandor Dynasty vanished silently into the dustbin of history.
Having confronted these Dark Creations head-on, this country is likely to have little left...
"Eluna..."
Aimina's gaze was complex as she stared at her younger sister, her body transforming back into a blurry image, slowly fading away...
She knew clearly that this time, it was truly goodbye...
Thousands of years ago.
In order to seal away all the Dark Creations, the two sisters ruled the Gandor Dynasty together. Since ascending the throne, all their efforts and goals have been to seal away or destroy the Fear-Eater.
It's even... reached the point of madness.
The Gandor Dynasty is gradually declining, and they... will eventually face death.
Finally... at the last moment.
Eluna found a way to regain control of the Xie Tool her father had created, based on notes left by the late king and her father.
Furthermore, she possessed extraordinary talent and, through the use of God Script, inscribed a massive sealing array in the central royal court of the Gandor Dynasty.
However, this was all to attract all the Fear-Eater.
She chose a similar approach to her father's, using the entire royal court as bait, and ultimately... created an opportunity to seal away all the Fear-Eater in one fell swoop.
It's hard to say what was done in that era, in order to seal away these monsters that were capable of annihilating humanity.
Is it worth paying this price...?
With the fall of the royal court, the Gandor Dynasty existed in name only, its substance nonexistent.
Aimina did not blame Eluna for her actions. Instead, she sacrificed herself and made a powerful Contract and Restriction, reinforcing the seal by suppressing her soul, thus sealing her soul and the Fear-Eater together forever in the endless darkness of the earth.
Eluna also did not survive.
Unlike her sister, who remained single, she had already started a family, after understanding her sister's actions.
She also established powerful Contract and Restriction, and through her bloodline, she will have a brief chance to be resurrected in her descendants.
If the seal really has a problem.
Aimina will surely be the first to awaken, and will awaken her from among the bloodline of future generations, ensuring that the two sisters can ultimately prevent the monsters that destroyed the Gandor Dynasty from Mortal World!
A silver particle phantom slowly emerged from Elina's body and floated into the air.
In the pitch-black cave, she stood out exceptionally beautifully; she was a woman who appeared to be mature and quite charming.
Her features bear a striking resemblance to the aloof and elegant Aimina on the field, though despite her mature appearance, she still retains a touch of playfulness.
Everyone present gaped, staring in astonishment at the scene.
Even the most foolish person would understand that this is the soul of someone from thousands of years ago...
The existence of the soul...
Even among Nen users, it is an extremely mysterious field.
Furthermore, many schools of thought that revere the body and mind completely deny the possibility of the existence of the soul!
Elina slowly awoke, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She looked around, somewhat bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
"Whoosh!"
Ian, who had been observing the field, flashed to her side and whispered.
"Elina, don't worry, it's over..."
Upon seeing Ian's appearance, Elina's tense body quickly relaxed. Then, following Ian's gaze, she saw a beautiful woman floating directly above her, slowly dissipating.
The other person seemed to notice her, smiled at her, and winked.
For some reason, Elina felt a surge of emotions, a sense of reluctance, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Eluna didn't pay much attention to her descendant, who was from who-knows-how-many generations later.
Time gave her years, but not long-term experience. She remained stuck at the moment of death, or rather, in her heart, she was still the little girl who always followed behind her sister.
Her real family member... is her older sister, Aimina.
"Elder sister..."
"It was such a short meeting, but I'm already very content to be able to see you again..."
A relieved smile appeared on Eluna's face.
At the same time, Aimina's gradually dissipating illusory body floated in front of Eluna, her delicate face filled with sorrow.
She gently raised her hand and stroked Eluna's face; where her hand touched, starlight shimmered.
Eluna forced a smile, but her eyes were already brimming with tears, which slid down her cheeks like swirling mist, as she smiled and wept.
I want to... I want to run behind you again...
I wish I could go back to when I was a child...
Upon seeing her sister up close again, the beautiful woman could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.
"Eluna, don't be afraid, your sister will be with you..."
Aimina, as if coaxing a child, gently stroked the other's long black hair with her soft eyes and a smile that concealed her sadness.
The two are clearly in different states: one is a teenage girl, and the other is an adult woman.
However, it was the young girl who was comforting the weeping adult woman.
"I am not afraid of death..."
"But the thought of you, sister, falling into darkness again with those monsters makes me so sad..."
With tears welling in her eyes, Eluna looked at the girl before her and could no longer suppress her sorrow.
"It's alright... it's alright... Eluna."
"I'm not afraid. This is my destiny, so... don't blame yourself at all..."
Upon hearing the other person's words, Aimina simply shook her head gently, stroking their long, dark hair as if petting a dog, her clear voice revealing tenderness.
"Yeah?"
Eluna's figure had begun to fade considerably, and her voice seemed to have become much softer.
"Yes, Eluna..."
"You are my cutest little sister, no matter what..."
Aimina spoke softly, glistening tears already streaming down her cheeks, and in her arms, Eluna was fading away.
"That's good..."
"Eluna... I'll always love you, sister..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Her figure gradually turned into particles...
"Waaah... waaah..."
Aimina choked back tears, her figure also fading away, her delicate face already streaked with sobs.
Even a thousand years later, when faced with this painful farewell again, she would not be able to bear it. No one knows how much grief this woman is experiencing at this moment.
And she... will also bear this grief, immersing herself in an endless seal of darkness.
This is... the destiny of the Gondor Royal Family...
On the field.
Ian, King, Netero all watched this scene unfold.
They could naturally understand the conversation between the two.
I also gained a general understanding of the relationship and actions of the two sisters.
Jin Weiwei remained silent.
Netero's expression was also somewhat complicated.
Such helpless things happen in any era; this is the impermanence of life...
These things might not even be recorded in history books.
No one can truly understand the pain and suffering experienced by those who went through it...
Elina didn't understand what had happened; she just felt very sad and sobbed softly.
Ian gently wiped the corner of his eye.
"Sigh... I can never bear to see these joys and sorrows, these partings..."
As he finished speaking, a piece of patterned cloth appeared in his palm.
