"Ariel...where am I...right now?"

Ariel was stunned and quickly lowered her head, only to find that Napa in her arms was now awake.

This made Ariel's heart relax. She immediately hugged the little white cat and said excitedly: "Napa! Napa, don't scare me! I... I really thought

You're dead! Are you okay? That brave man didn't hurt you just now, did he?!"

Ariel kept rubbing Napa's cheeks with her face, which made the little white cat seem a little embarrassed. It raised its paws and pushed Ariel's face away. After a while, it slowly turned back.

, looked around, pondered for a moment, and said——

"What a powerful magic power...are we...in the Demon King's sealing place now?"

At this point, Ariel came back to her senses. She nodded, gently hugged Napa, looked at the peaceful flower walls and grass around her, and said, "Yes. But... this place really belongs to the Demon King.

Sealed place? Why does it make me feel...somewhat different?"

Napa shook her head slightly and said: "Because...these magic powers are welcoming their masters. They are looking forward to the arrival of their masters."

At that moment, the little white cat turned back again, stared deeply at Ariel with a pair of royal blue eyes, and said in a very solemn and sincere voice——

"Human, Ariel Garcia, now that you are here, let me ask you a question again. Are you really unwilling to become the mother of the earth? Are you really... unwilling to be one of the 'foundations' of this world?

?"

Ariel has answered this question countless times before.

But now, Napa's tone and eyes made Ariel stunned.

She was speechless for a moment and didn't even know whether she should answer this question.

Even when she was silent, the sea of ​​flowers around her seemed to be swaying gently as if expecting this question. The grass under her feet also bowed to her direction one after another, as if they were welcoming their true owner.

.

Under the pale blue light falling from the cave above her head, Ariel suddenly felt that she seemed to be standing at a crossroads of destiny... and her next answer would completely change herself... and many more.

The trajectory of many lives...

"I--"

boom--!

But just when Ariel said her first word, a loud noise suddenly erupted from behind her! Then, cheese with a broken arm flew over from behind and fell to the ground one after another.

After rolling several times, it hit the wall and stopped.

"Prevent--"

Before Cheese could finish shouting this sentence at the critical moment, Ariel once again felt a violent hurricane roaring past behind her!

The wind passed by her, and in that brief moment of interaction, she also saw who it was.

Brave - Link!

The scars on Link's body have obviously increased a lot now, but even so, he rushed deeper into the cave with the most anxious and desperate speed!

After he rushed over, Ariel of course heard Jelly's shouts from behind, thinking that the mermaid army had already arrived.

But after seeing the brave man rushing over, Napa's originally sincere and expectant eyes immediately turned to horror! It flew out of Ariel's arms and shouted: "Stop! I can't let you move forward anymore!"

After that, Napa also ran in the direction where the hero rushed out. After Napa ran, Ariel turned her head and glanced at Cheese who was struggling to get up over there. After saying comfort, she also immediately rushed forward.

.

If becoming Mother Earth can prevent the Demon King from resurrecting...

If you become the Mother of the Earth and gain the power to fight against the Demon King...

If becoming the Mother of the Earth is the ultimate answer to all the problems in front of me...

Then Ariel will definitely shout out that answer!

She can become the Mother of the Earth...even if it is not for herself, she must do it for this good friend who has been with her since she established the guild!

"Napa——!"

Ariel kept shouting and running towards the depths.

The cave began to look wider and wider, and even trees began to appear in the cave, and even some small ponds appeared.

There were some strange-looking creatures drinking water next to the pond. When they saw her rushing over, they immediately ran away in fear. As the cave became larger and larger, the trees began to turn into a forest, and some strange flying monsters began to appear.

Jumping and flying between those branches, watching this strange human being running wildly and shouting loudly.

Maybe it's because this cave is too complicated.

After Ariel ran for a long time, there was still no reinforcement from the mermaid army to catch up with her and move forward side by side.

She was a little scared in her heart, but fear could not stop her steps.

Even if your steps have begun to stagger, you must catch up!

Chase after...witness that moment of destruction or hope!

Finally, after running for who knows how long, the forest trees in front suddenly seemed to welcome me, with branches intertwining with each other to form a door-like structure.

Ariel ran a few steps forward along the doors, and a row of stairs made of vines appeared in front of her eyes. Looking at these stairs, Ariel overcame the fear in her heart, gritted her teeth and stepped on them.

After climbing a hundred steps, she finally reached the top of the stairs. After passing through the door made of the last branches...

She finally saw the place known as the Demon King's seal.

This is a wide space that is almost the same as a large opera house. It is surrounded by layers of trees, forming a natural barrier.

In the center of the space is a huge throne made of rock! Is that marble? Or is it granite? I don't know, but it just looks like a very solid throne, as if it will not decay no matter how long it lasts.

And surrounding the throne are a large number, almost hundreds of various weapons!

These weapons look like they have been around for many years. There are swords, spears, bows, and many weapons that Ariel barely knows or has seen. These weapons are all inserted in even positions around the throne.

, leaning towards the throne as if worshiping.

So, who are these weapons worshiping?

Worship the huge skeleton that is almost suffocating on the rock throne.

This skeleton looks similar to a human, but its head has two huge horns. The skeleton is wearing a gorgeous, but already decayed brocade robe, leaning on it in a lazy posture.

On the chair, his right hand is spread out very leisurely, and in the middle is a ball of light exuding colorful colors.

In other words...is that the power of the Demon King?

And now, there is another person whose hands are already attached to the ball of light.

It is none other than Paladin Light within Light.

Now he is standing on the palm of the skeleton, with his hands on the ball of light, looking ahead with bloodshot eyes.

Only then did Ariel realize that there were not only those worshiping weapons in front of the throne, but also three beings standing in two positions.

The brave man held the exquisite long sword in his hand and held up the shield, looking at Paladin Light on the throne with vigilance and panic.

On the other side, Napa was lying on Yi Ge's shoulder. Yi Ge grabbed an ancient sword beside him with his backhand and gritted his teeth as he looked at the former president of the strongest guild.

Ariel didn't know what was going on here.

She only knew that everyone's movements had stopped now, and everyone's eyes were looking at the old man in front of him who was holding the power of the Demon King tightly with both hands.

Such silence made Ariel hold her breath involuntarily. She covered her mouth unconsciously and did not even dare to make a sound. In this silent environment, she even heard her own heartbeat.

Voice……

And this heartbeat... seemed to resonate with the pulsation coming from the entire earth.

"President!"

Finally, there was another shout from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Cheese, who had recovered his broken arm, Mochi and Jelly, who were holding bows and arrows, also ran in. Also following them were about thirty soldiers of the Mermaid Army. When they saw what was in front of them

At this moment, everyone held their breath in unison, not daring to make any sound of breathing.

At this moment, on the Demon King's throne, all time and space seemed to have become solidified.

And the old man who had gathered everyone's attention at this moment finally took a slow breath and slowly raised his head——

"I... am the president of Heavenly Light... the supreme leader of the strongest guild in the entire Blue Bay Empire..."

Paladin's hands were tightly clasping the magic light ball. Along with his voice, Ariel could clearly hear that he was exerting force in his words, as if he was having some kind of interaction with the magic light ball.

"Later... I became the Knight Commander of the Empire... and had the title of Baron! After that... I led my troops and was defeated by you..."

"But in the end... you seem to have begun to forget me... forget that I was once a proud warrior... a warrior who worked hard to train his mind and body!"

As he said these words, the muscles in Paladin's hands suddenly swelled! The next moment, he suddenly raised his hands above his head! And the magic ball was also pulled out from the palm of the skeleton, which was completely

The old man lifted the ground above his head!

Ariel shouted in horror: "Mr. Guangzhongguang! If you have something to say, please say it!"

"Shut up! You stinky girl! When the old man talks... the younger generation must listen carefully!"

Paladin roared directly at Ariel. This roar made the president frightened by its power for a while, and he did not dare to move.
To be continued...
