The mutated creatures chasing him were getting closer and closer, and Griffith could already feel that they were mobilizing chaotic and evil magic power to prepare for action.

Not there yet? Not outside yet?

Suddenly, two soldiers wearing iron armor appeared not far away. They held torches and discovered the fleeing trainee knight.

"Quick! Come here quickly, we are here to rescue you!" the rescuer shouted loudly while waving his arms towards Griffith.

Griffith was filled with ecstasy, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace a little. At the same time, he shouted to the soldiers: "There are mutant creatures behind me, prepare to fight!"

"Quick! Come here quickly, we are here to rescue you!" The rescuers shouted to Griffith, opening their arms to welcome him.

Griffith suddenly turned around and ran off in another direction.

A strange feeling filled his heart. There was no joy of being rescued at all, only more intense fear. As Griffith ran, he turned back and shouted to them: "No.! Which part do you belong to!?"

"Hurry! Come here quickly, we are here to rescue you!" The rescuer waved his arms enthusiastically and shouted to him, repeating the words he just said.

When the human words fell into his ears, Griffith felt a chill down his spine and his hair stood on end. These soldiers did not have the markings of their units on their bodies, and their words were just repeating the same sentence over and over again.

Such a realistic phantom! Behind their warm arms and broad shoulders, I don’t know what terrible things are hidden.

"Quick! Come here quickly, we are here to save you!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and two soldiers seemed to whisper in their ears, "Why are you running?"

Griffith was frightened out of his mind.

Instead of being left behind, the phantom from the mutant creature got closer.

It’s over, I’ve been caught up!

At this moment, a faint light appeared in the dark forest. Although the sun had not risen yet, the sky was already dimly lit. At the end of the almost endless darkness, a familiar feeling was caressing the trainee knight.

A soul riddled with holes.

"Griffith!"

Galadia, wearing a silver breastplate and a laurel wreath, appeared on the high ground not far away. She raised her long bow in the direction of Griffith, like a golden phoenix spreading its wings in her hands.

.

"For the military range attack spell, the artillery form is deployed, and the countdown is started.

"Additional prayer enhancement."

The elf's long hair is flying in the air, and her singing seems to be ready. The layers of magic circles are rotating around her with astonishing momentum. Blue, green and golden ball lightning looms around her. Fine gold arrows are pointed directly at her.

In the direction of Griffith, little rays of light gathered into dazzling starlight.

“The everlasting light that bestows kindness and shelter,

"Guardian of nature and balance,

“The guide on the endless journey,

"I identify the target of the arrow as the enemy of Starlight."

In the night sky in the far north, there is a star carrying irresistible pressure and power, echoing the elves' prayers.

Galadia's eyes became as pure as losing their emotions, as if they were incarnate into an indescribable existence and will walking on the ground. The air, light and dust were suddenly stopped, and they listened fearfully and respectfully to her bright and direct words that penetrated into the heart.

pray:

"Aiya E?rendil Elenion Ancalima! (Hail to the brightest star Elenion Ancalima!)"

Chaotic and ferocious roars came from behind Griffith. The illusion of the soldier disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by the overwhelming twisted aura that was grabbing the trainee knight's shoulders with their tentacles.

The air suddenly compressed. Sound and light were instantly deprived, as if a black hole swallowed everything. Then, pure brilliance bloomed, roaring into the darkness through Griffith's body.

The mutated monsters that had just been casting various vicious curses fell backwards, and the unstoppable silver light swept past them. No matter whether they were strong or weak, crazy or evil, they were all wiped out in the bright light.

Indescribable screams merged with the roar that swept across the earth, and the forest stubbornly occupied by darkness was purified by this light to create a smooth path. The darkness, poisonous insects and twisted plants entrenched here retreated in panic.

With the elimination of the shadow monster, Griffith's fear and despair were swept away, his whistling murmurs disappeared in an instant, and the world returned to its normal color. He stood on the quiet grass in a daze, looking at the elf girl.

Walked towards him lightly.

Hallucination? Is this an hallucination?

"Don't be afraid, Griffith," Galadia put away her glorious long bow, supported the trainee knight's body covered in blood and soil, and tilted her head towards him.

The pure and majestic eyes that had just swept across the darkness turned into concern and joy, and a sweet smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth. The silver morning light of dawn descended on the corrupted forest and sprinkled on Griffith's shoulders, and the comfortable cool breeze carried a light

The fragrance caresses the scarred soul.

The long battle with no end in sight finally disappeared together with the long darkness and endless filth, and the whole world became brighter.
