People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Who can say that a felony in the past is still a felony?

Who is qualified to judge?

Two fingers, or the supreme will?

Now they are no longer qualified to judge anyone.

However, his smile made Melina a little confused, but she didn't care and asked again:

"...Rhine, are you ready?"

"Well, we are ready. Let us prepare for the era when we lose the Golden Tree."

He looked at the huge treetops covering the narrow space in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

And Melina reached out a hand toward him.

"...I understand. It will be fine in a moment. Please hold my hand...?"

Melina was slightly startled, and when she looked down, she saw that there was a doll in her hand that was supposed to be held. It was not the one she gave to Reinhardt, but the doll of [Moon Princess] Lani.

This confused her greatly.

She didn't understand the meaning of Reinhardt's actions.

However, that's not all. The items in Melina's hands are gradually increasing.

Reinhardt's leather bag and fur cloak were thrown into her hands, making her look like a clothes hanger or a locker. Soon her body was full of things.

"...I do not understand..."

"That's right, you don't understand. I don't want you to understand."

Reinhardt grinned and lowered his head to say to Melina.

At this moment, he was completely naked. All his clothes had been taken off, just like a useless person starting the game. The only thing on his body was that not-so-big piece of covering.

The only difference is that the useless man holds a club, while he holds a carefully forged pyroxene weapon.

Even the Moonlight Greatsword that he never left behind was left with Melina.

Melina looked at the equipment all over her body and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Reinhardt before she could speak.

"...Melina, I know what you want to say, and I already know what you want to do and what the meaning of your existence is, but I want to tell you that it is impossible."

"It is true that it is your destiny to become the Fire Girl and burn the Golden Tree, but that is not your fate."

"You are my recognized family, and I can't sacrifice my family to replace the Zhurong Golden Tree and call back the sun. This will never be possible, so you should just stay there and watch."

"Look at this final, exquisite scene."

Under Melina's astonished gaze, he slowly took a few steps towards the edge of the cauldron.

Melina wanted to stand up to stop it, but found that her body could not move. She did not know when a chain made of pyroxene magic emerged from the ground and completely blocked her body.

He had already anticipated that Melina would take action, so he had made preparations in secret.

The spell is hidden under the fur cloak.

"Rhine..."

"Stop talking. I know your choice, but it's also my choice." He smiled at Melina and said, "...Also, Melina, next time if you have something to say to me, please say it to my face. Don't sneak around when I'm asleep. Sometimes I can't hear you."

"Also... your craftsmanship is really bad. The doll you made is really crude... But I like this gift very much."

Melina's little mouth moved slightly a few times, but before she could respond, Reinhardt put away his smile, turned around resolutely, and looked at the golden tree that blocked out the sun in the distance again. While the shadow of the tree was reflected in his eyes, there was also a determination to fight to the death.

The scorching heat roaring from the cauldron of fire blew his short, fine black hair.

"Sa... prepare to face the death you have rejected, Golden Tree."

He slowly stretched out his hands and gently brushed over the phantom of fire floating in the air, then clasped his hands together tightly, holding the phantom of fire in his hands as if holding a silk ribbon, and mobilized the solar law in his body.

At the same time, he slowly turned his back to the cauldron and looked at the sun in the sky that was as dazzling as a star.

"Ancient sun, please accept my call and return."

His raised hands suddenly ignited with ethereal and illusory flames, but there was no sign of stopping. Under Melina's gaze, the flames gradually spread to his entire body.

The snow beneath my feet is disappearing quietly.

The outline of the sun was expanding little by little, just like his body, gradually emitting light and heat, as if his heart resonated with his laws and kept the same beat as his heart.

This brilliance has a tendency to overshadow the golden tree.

But not enough.

Gradually lower your raised arms, as if embracing the sky and holding the distant sun in your arms.

However, the golden tree that towered like a cloud and covered the borderland like a sky was like a curse, and its lush branches and leaves were gradually infected by flames.

"wait for me."

Melina's beautiful face was reflected in his eyes, and his body slowly leaned backwards.

The sound of the wind whistled past his ears, lingering around the extinguished fire in the cauldron, while the flames on his body burned more and more fiercely.

Just like firewood meeting sparks, it instantly turned into a huge fireball and fell into the depths of the cauldron.

Even without looking, you can tell that the flames in the pot are rising and surging like waves.

However, during the descent, although the distance was far, he saw Melina's worried look. Her mouth moved slightly a few times, as if she was saying something, but the sound of the flames and the howling wind was too loud, and he could not hear anything.

But this moment seemed like eternity to him.

All the efforts made before are worth it.

It’s great to see Melina alive.

A smile of relief gradually appeared on his face, and a sentence involuntarily came to his mind -

"Those who walk with the fire will eventually meet their destined death."

The ash-extinguishing fire that rose from below engulfed Reinhardt and the sunlight he emitted, rushing towards the dense branches of the golden tree, dyeing the sky red like blood.

However, Melina stared blankly at the scene before her.

They were only a few steps apart, but because of a flame, they seemed as far away as a world away.

-------------------------------------

The sun in the distance was shining brightly, moving slowly towards the inner side of the border area. The light and heat it emitted overshadowed the golden tree and attracted everyone's attention.

The first to notice it was the floating city of Fam Azra. Platon Sanx, who was gathering ancient dragons, stared at the sun in the sky in a daze.

After waiting for thousands and tens of thousands of years, they finally welcomed their sun back to the border.

The sun's light once again illuminates everything!

"Our descendants..."

"Our shield armors..."

"The long-lost gods have returned. Let us fight to bring them back!"

Two ancient dragon lolis stood on the shattered ruins of the city and drove many ancient dragons.

The summoned ancient dragons responded to Platonshanks's voice and circled above Fam Azra. Their numerous shadows, covering the sky and the sun, covered the broken floating city. Even the sea of clouds could not swallow their huge bodies as they shuttled through the clouds.

"————GEYAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

A large amount of red dragon thunder responded to the ancient dragons' roars and continued to fall, as if celebrating that they had finally welcomed back their backbone.

The shocking roars and roars emitted by the ancient dragons, which defied common sense, echoed throughout the border of Fam Azra. The beast priest who was responsible for guarding the destined death in the depths of the broken ancient temple slowly woke up from his sleep, raised his head to look at the sky, and his eyes passed through the surrounding storm and suspended ruins to feel the long-lost hot light.

A light completely different from the warm glow that the golden tree once emitted.

As Marika's shadow beast and a former beast priest of the ancient dragon clan, he knew very well what that light represented.

But from that blood-spewing mouth that chose its prey uttered a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar—

"Malika...are you doing this after all?"

Under the cloak, huge and sharp claws slowly stroked the back of the other hand, and an inexplicable light flashed in the eyes of Gulang, or Malicus.

He knew very well that this temple, which was on the verge of collapse, would soon welcome an uninvited guest.

Meanwhile, Lienya.

A gentle breeze blew across the calm lake, creating ripples.

The scorching sun dispelled the cold fog that had lingered on the shores of Lake Lienia for a long time, overshadowing the light emitted by the full moon and stars, and completely lighting up the magic academy standing in the center of the lake.

Se Lian stood on the balcony, looking at the sun gradually moving across the horizon.

It was not a good thing for the pyroxene magician to have the brilliance of the bright star overshadowed, but Se Lian couldn't help but laugh.

This shows that her apprentice was successful.

The sun has returned to the border area and will soon replace the golden tree.

Then, next, they, the pyroxene magicians, will usher in a golden age, the fate of the stars will finally be liberated, and it may even be possible to restore to the era of stargazers.

However, it was not only Seren who was happy, but also Lani and the Full Moon Queen Lenarra, as well as Ariana who served them, Fia, who as the Saint of the Sun Cult had long since left behind the identity of the Sleeping Dead Girl, and all the people in the academy who had a relationship with Reinhardt.

"Mother..." Seeing the sun's rays coming, Lani couldn't help but feel happy and secretly relieved.

"Well, my boy, he succeeded."

Lenara said quietly.

"...Latan, Lani, my children, go help him, help your brother Reinhardt. He is the hope of the Junction, and with him will dawn upon the Junction."

"I understand, Mother."

Upon hearing the news, Latan, who was visiting his mother, lowered his head deeply and responded in a dull voice.

Although it is unclear why the mother treats Reinhardt as her own child, Latan doesn't care about it. Whether as a brother-in-law or as a younger brother, Reinhardt's actions are undoubtedly qualified.

He could even be said to be Kalia's benefactor.

Not to mention that he has now accomplished a feat that no one else in the border area can do.

"Jerian... and Oga, order the troops to pack up, break camp, and prepare to march to the Yatan Plateau! This time, we must capture the Royal City of Rodel in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, General Latan!" Jellian and Oga responded in unison.

Different from the war a thousand years ago, this time Latan wants to fully demonstrate his skills to the Royal City of Rodel.

Let’s get to know the border thoroughly——

What is a red lion?

What is the strongest!

Lenara gazed at the burning golden tree in the distance, feeling the warm light pouring down from the sky. A smile appeared on the corners of her charming face, her bright red lips slightly raised.

This light is exactly what they have been expecting, and it is also the light of the sun that was recorded in ancient books and observed by ancient stargazers.

At this moment, the once prosperous Golden Tree Era finally came to an end.

However, some people are happy and some are worried.

As the Yatan Plateau closest to the Golden Tree, the Royal City of Rodel, built at the foot of the Golden Tree, was thrown into chaos by the natural disasters of the Golden Tree.

The guards of the big trees were completely panicked and at a loss. They were running around in the royal city in a panic and lost their composure.

The golden tree that they once believed in and regarded as their life is now burning fiercely.

The fallen leaves were all dyed the color of flames, and in their place was endless dust falling from the sky.

Not only that, even the seeds spread by the golden tree and its instinct for survival were suppressed by the flames and were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

The small golden trees scattered throughout the border area were also burning and gradually turned into ashes.

Along with the golden tree incarnation, it gradually disappeared as the flames ignited.

Mongert, who was sitting on the throne of Elden, finally stood up slowly while leaning on his wooden staff. The scorching wind blew his tattered cloak, and the evil omen that had been hidden was gradually exposed.

He didn't expect that Reinhardt actually succeeded, and the Fire Girl was actually found by this man.

No... maybe this man sacrificed himself?

Looking at the sun hanging in the sky, Mongget couldn't help but make such a bold guess.

After all, that man possessed the Lost Law of the Sun, and therefore had the qualifications.

Moreover, he had also heard rumors about that man, who once challenged [Star-Breaking General] Latan at the risk of his life. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Latan was indeed stronger than him.
