Son of Light 11
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Luli sat stiffly on the bed, his long hair as smooth as mithril cascading down his thin back. The aloofness he had created in front of everyone collapsed in an instant.
It’s hard to sleep, hard to calm down, hard to let go.
Be it the soft bed, the warm greetings from friends, or the blossoming scenery of the Lucia continent, it was difficult for him to adapt. Especially when he passed through the magic circle and opened his eyes again, the figure of the person he expected did not appear in front of him. This feeling of abandonment and alienation almost oppressed him to death.
After sitting there for a while, Luli moved his hands on his knees and slowly touched his face. It was cold and he felt nothing. No tears flowed.
But why did a trace of pain rise in his heart? It was like peeling silk from a cocoon, tearing him apart to the bone, a fatal blow.
Luli clutched the scorching sun necklace that radiated warmth on his chest and prayed softly.
A cold voice echoed in the silent room, over and over again...
Early the next morning, Nabei came to Luli's room with toiletries. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she saw that the door was ajar. She pushed the door open and found that the room was already empty. Even the bed was neatly made.
Luli stood in front of the towering wizard tower, took a deep breath, and walked in.
The restrictions had no effect on him, and Luli easily passed through numerous obstacles and reached the top of the tower.
This place is like spring all year round, with petals flying all over the sky and the blooming flowers seeming to be frozen in the moment of blooming, swaying in the breeze.
Luli raised his hand and brushed the flowers, then walked along the narrow path emitting white light again. But this time, when he reached the end, the man was no longer there.
Luli knelt down in panic, and a crack finally appeared on his cold face, and the words Lucius said to him rang in his ears.
He had just returned to the Holy See yesterday, and before he had time to treat his wounded men and recover from years of fatigue, he was surrounded by several paladins, who took him to see the Pope.
And the first thing Lucius said to him after they met was "Singla is missing."
A stone stirs up a thousand ripples. This bombshell information almost made him breathless. Disappearing in the St. Lucia plane is more terrifying than death.
As the main plane, the St. Lucia plane has many space channels. Some of these space channels are connected to secondary planes, some are connected to unknown places, and some are connected to the void, but there are also several channels connected to the abyss. These channels connected to the abyss are often guarded and suppressed by people sent by major churches.
The so-called disappearance is most likely to be sucked into an unknown area through an unknown space channel, and the whereabouts are unknown. In this case, the person is likely to survive, but even if he is alive, he still cannot return to the main plane without finding the right method. If he is sucked into the void, he will be annihilated in the next moment, and no body will be left. The worst case is to be sucked into the abyss, and the soul will be eroded and transformed into a demon.
Either way, it's unbearable.
In the plane of Santa Lucia, the souls of those who died of natural causes would return to the kingdom of the true God, and even creatures without faith could still be summoned after death, and their souls could be reborn again after being nurtured. However, if they disappeared and fell into an area without anyone's jurisdiction, it would be no different from true death.
The whole person, from bones to skin, from inside to outside, from soul to body, all disappeared.
What really made Luli feel uncomfortable was that Singela disappeared near an abyss passage guarded by the Church of Light. He disappeared two years ago, when he was fighting in the abyss.
It was the most dangerous and difficult battle he had fought in six years, with countless casualties, and in the end it was a tragic victory, almost at the cost of life.
He had already switched from logistics to vanguard, and he just kept waving his staff mechanically and numbly to repel the surging demon army around him. The dark mud stuck to his robe, hindering his movements.
At the critical moment, his partner of a year stood in front of him with a roar, but he could only watch his partner die tragically at the claws of the irrational demon.
That day, the look in his companion's eyes when he was dying was still gentle and resilient. He didn't even have the chance to say a word to him before he was crushed into a pulp by the devil.
"Luli, when I get back, I will definitely marry her first and make sure she only has eyes for me."
The golden paladin, who was extremely talented and dreamed of returning to the main plane to marry his childhood sweetheart after the war, smiled brightly in front of Luli, his dark brown eyes filled with longing for a bright future.
The dream was shattered, and the voices and appearances of his companions were also shattered. Luli opened his eyes wide, trying hard to remember this scene forever in his heart. At the same time, it seemed as if a taut string in his heart broke with a "clang".
He lowered his head to block the demons that were flying towards him again. Their sharp claws and foul-smelling saliva flowed down the staff, leaving a scar on the back of Luli's hand. Luli kicked the demon away and used divine power to open a protective shield to keep the demons out.
He looked around the battlefield, where roars, screams, and the clashing sounds of swords and claws could be heard everywhere. Looking up, he saw that there were only a few of them left, and the number of his companions fighting together was gradually decreasing as time went by. Luli's broken heart was crumbling.
He faced the black fog and looked at the city they were guarding. There were innocent people inside, and this was the only city left in this lower plane. They had to defend it at all costs.
God, if you see this, please save these innocent and pitiful people!
Luli tightly grasped the staff in his hand and made a decision. He gritted his teeth and drew all the magic power in the magic vein out of his body and wrapped it with divine power. The pale light was so powerful that it was like the scorching sun falling to the ground.
This apocalyptic scene made everyone present stop what they were doing, squinting their eyes to look at the ball of light that was still growing larger in the sky.
"Go to hell!" Luli roared, his silver hair flying in the wind, as did his robes. He had a death-ready expression on his face, and the dirt all over his body could not stop him from shining.
At that time, he was already a golden nine-ring light magician, and the strong power of faith in him was enough to serve as a golden priest.
At the age of nineteen, with such amazing talent, if he were in the main plane, he would probably cause a huge uproar. Unfortunately, this is a battlefield, and this level of publicity is bound to attract the attention of jackals, tigers and leopards.
But at this moment, Luli no longer had any thoughts in his mind. His only thought was to die together with the demon army in front of him.
A ball of light fell from the sky and slammed into the entrance where the demon army had invaded. The white light burned every demon that rushed over. When the light faded, the space channel had been burned, and only one in ten demons remained.
At this point, the demons lost their source of reinforcements, and their morale soared. Soon, with the help of several high-level professionals, they killed all the demons.
