Chapter Thirty-Nine: Farewell After Reaching the Shore.
"Great dragon, I'm sorry, I really did my best."
The mission Sophia bestowed upon him was, of course, more important than his own life.
After a few seconds of worried thought, Kemon roared and cleaved Loya back more than ten meters with a single blow.
Just when Loya thought Kemon was about to attack, Kemon darted underwater like a mouse and disappeared without a trace.
"Crack, crack," coincidentally, a series of shattering sounds followed from Loya's body.
The [Primary Wizard Inscription: Body of Steel] is dissipating.
However, the [Wind Acceleration] rune, although it also suffered some damage, was not significant.
The other inscriptions were completely unharmed.
However, the other inscriptions cannot bring Loya much combat power.
In short, this is quite serious.
"It seems I won't be forced to use forbidden techniques anymore, which is really good," Loya thought.
If Kemon had continued to insist earlier, he would have had to desperately use forbidden techniques, and the price he would have to pay would have been too high.
The outcome now is actually quite good.
For Loya, the current losses are negligible.
Without much thought, Loya stepped onto the water and rushed towards the Ship of Hope.
With a "thud," he landed on the deck. "Alright, my fellow elves, we can now continue our journey in peace."
Linman canceled the spell array and then used "Riding the Waves" to propel the Ship of Hope forward at breakneck speed.
This time, without the merfolk stopping it, the speed of the Ship of Hope was unleashed.
From a distance, it looks just like the wind.
However, Linman noticed that the inscriptions on the ship were still collapsing.
The previous war dealt a devastating blow to the Ship of Hope.
Linman, however, remained calm, for she knew perfectly well that this boat of hope was only meant for crossing the lake. It had no other purpose.
Given the current state of the Ship of Hope, reaching the other side is more than a certainty.
"Everyone, quickly treat your wounds and prepare your valuables."
"Next, we're going to abandon ship."
As Vina spoke, she tended to her wounds.
Getting ashore doesn't mean they're free from all worries or that everything is going smoothly.
In the future, if we are not careful, we will definitely encounter crises again.
Therefore, they need to prepare as much as possible and restore their magic power, physical strength, and combat strength before going ashore.
At the same time, Loya and the elves all sensed the terrifying battle fluctuations on the distant Emerald Lake island abruptly cease.
The aura of a powerful being, unique to humans, became almost imperceptible.
Although the aura of the evil dragon Sophia had weakened, it was still so obvious and terrifying.
"It's a real shame, and it's also terrible." Raffi pouted, his face full of resentment.
If she could, she would have preferred Sophia to be defeated and killed by humans.
In this way, it can be considered revenge for the ancestors.
At the same time, they don't need to rush to escape to distant places.
"Hmph, she's lucky. But when we have enough strength and return, that will be her end." Vina was also unwilling, but she wouldn't lose face, so on the surface she was full of drive and domineering.
“That’s right. As for revenge, it’s more satisfying to do it ourselves.” Raffi nodded.
...
Loya was speechless; he realized that Daenerys had many enemies.
"I wonder if she'll live long enough for me to rise to power and give me a chance to vent my anger," Loya thought with a sigh. "Ah, dear mother, I hope you'll be lucky. I really don't want to leave any regrets in the past."
From now on, the ship of hope will sail unimpeded.
Five minutes passed without me even realizing it.
Finally, we reached the other side.
Numerous elves, carrying heavy bundles, came aboard the deck, gazing at the land drawing ever closer.
Although they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but feel their hearts race when they actually saw it.
With a roar, the Ship of Hope surged ashore and came to a stop on the grass more than 300 meters from the lake.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," many elves jumped off the ship.
Vina determined the direction and said, "Let's go. We need to get away from Emerald Lake Island before dawn and head towards the edge of the Sandy Mountains."
Loya didn't rush to leave. He looked up at the black sky on the other side, sensing a strong fluctuation of fire elemental energy there. This kind of place was perfect for a creature like him to grow.
“It’s time to say goodbye,” Loya said.
"What?" The elves were stunned upon hearing this. They stared at Loya in astonishment.
"Mr. Roloroya, you're not joking, are you?" the little elf Ivy asked innocently. Although she hadn't known Roloya for long, his actions had left a very good impression on her, especially the inscriptions he had carved for her, which had saved her life more than once in the previous war. This made her feel all sorts of complicated emotions towards Roloya.
Of course, the most obvious emotion among them is "dependence".
It seems that as long as Loya is around, Ivy feels at ease.
In fact, it's not just Ivy.
The other elves, without realizing it, also developed a dependence on Loya.
Now, upon hearing that Loya was leaving, their hearts felt empty, filled with a profound sense of unease.
“Ah, my fellow elves.” Loya smiled slightly and bowed politely. “I only joined you this time to hitch a ride. Now that I’m here, I have no reason to stay with you anymore.”
"I see." Although they didn't want Loya to leave, the elves had no reason to force him. They couldn't force Loya either; it wasn't that they were weak, but that they still had some kindness in their hearts, and they seemed unable to make things difficult for others, especially for a friend like Loya.
"Goodbye, and I wish you good luck in the future, and that you won't encounter any danger." Raffi stepped forward and offered his blessings.
"I wish you good luck too." Praise is free, and Loya didn't mind saying a few nice words.
"Hey." Theo walked over, looking at Loya with a serious and deep expression, without saying anything immediately.
"Theo, what do you want to do?" Raffi frowned, thinking that Theo still remembered his past grievances with Loya.
The other elves thought so too. This time, instead of siding with Western Europe, they were all quite resistant.
Loya was a great help to them.
Although they couldn't completely let go of the past, they also wouldn't allow the elves to harbor resentment towards Loya.
"I'm sorry about what happened before. I was too impulsive." Contrary to everyone's expectations, Theo didn't speak harshly to Loya. He spoke with difficulty, his tone complex, and tears welled in his eyes. "This time, I am truly grateful for your contributions to the elven tribe. In the future, when I have the ability and the opportunity, I will definitely repay you."
Loya understood, however, that Western Europe had not yet completely erased the grudge between him and Western Europe.
But Loya didn't care about any of that. He said, "Don't force yourself. Hate when you should hate, resent when you should resent. Don't force yourself to suffer just because my actions have benefits for your entire clan."
Time was of the essence, and after finishing his sentence, Loya turned and left in a hurry.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time, let's hurry up and go." Vina made this farewell very rushed, she hurriedly urging everyone to leave as soon as possible.
