Chapter 416 Dorack wakes up
Chapter 416 Dorack wakes up
Lathel began to worry about Iritellis. When he was still able to move in his spirit state, he saw her leaving with the Dark-Elf Queen's crown.
He closed his eyes, feeling the slave contract that was the bond between him and Iritellis. When he saw that the connection still existed, Lathel breathed a sigh of relief.
Lathel looked towards everyone and said softly: "This world is not as safe or beautiful as you think."
"It is filled with danger, pain, despair, and brutality. Only when you hold absolute power will you be able to enjoy the beauties of this world."
Winter, summer, autumn, and spring all nodded when they heard that. After all, in the past seven days, not only were they taught many things by Lathel, but they also witnessed many things happen that they had never seen before.
Bloodthirsty monsters and knights with beautiful appearances who possess the personalities of devils.
Horrible battles that they did not dare to come close to, and they could only watch from afar.
Even though what they saw was only a part of this forest—a very small part of this world—that was enough to make them afraid.
Lathel felt the atmosphere become gloomy and changed the subject: "To what extent have you awakened your power?"
"Ah!" Summer was the first to speak: "Hehehehe… God, I can now create fire."
As she spoke, she waved her index finger, and a flame appeared, hovering above her fingertip.
Lathel: "…"
"Is that all?"
"Hm?! God, don't you think it's cool?" Summer frowned and said, "I practiced for seven days straight to be able to do this."
Lathel: "…"
"The fire I use to make soup is a hundred times stronger than your fire."
Summer: (? `з′)
"What about you, Winter?"
Winter raised her hands parallel to each other; a ball of ice then slowly condensed and floated between her hands.
The ice ball slowly grew larger, reaching the size of a tennis ball, and then stopped. However, the cold air emanating from it was extremely terrible, and all four of them felt a bit cold.
Winter said softly: "Sorry, God. I can only do this."
Having finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the ice ball flew into the distance, hitting the cliff.
BAM!
Immediately, everything within five metres of the impact froze.
Summer: (°ロ ° )!
Lathel nodded with satisfaction: "You did very well. What about you?
As he spoke, he looked at Autumn. She also smiled gently, placed her right hand on the table, and then lightly tapped her index finger on the table.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Right at this moment, a centipede crawled up from the ground, then wrapped around her index finger.
Autumn smiled, held up the centipede, and said: "I met this centipede in the forest. Although it is small, its venom is enough to kill a large wild animal. I also feel like this centipede can evolve."
"In just a little while, after it eats a few other monsters, it will successfully evolve."
Although no one here knew how powerful the centipede's poison was, they could see a purple aura floating around its body, causing everyone to feel a chill down their spines.
Lathel now rubbed her chin and said: "Hm… very good. And you… Spring."
"Ah! God... I... I..." Spring stammered: "I can only do this right now."
She took a deep breath to suppress the feeling of embarrassment, then clasped her hands together. Right now, a cool breeze blew across everyone's body, making everyone feel comfortable.
"Hm…" Lathel frowned and said: "That's very good; you can help people feel less pain if they are injured; you can also stop bleeding and heal minor injuries."
"Overall… You all did very well, except you, Summer."
Summer: (-_-;)? ? ?
She pouted and bowed her head, her expression extremely uncomfortable.
"Okay, you just need to try harder. I believe you can definitely succeed."
Lathel spoke as he patted Summer's head. She didn't resist; instead, she enjoyed his hand, her face showing glee.
"However…" Lathel suddenly continued. He looked at everyone, his voice a bit serious: "You seem to have forgotten something."
All four girls listened to Lathel's words and thought seriously; however, they didn't know what they forgot.
"God… please teach us more." Autumn spoke up.
Lathel nodded and said: "All of you are only focusing on strength and attack ability; you're forgetting something equally important... the ability to defend and escape."
"Defence?"
"Escape?"
Summer and Spring asked confusedly. However, Winter and Autumn seemed to realise something.
Lathel nodded and explained: "That's right. You place too much emphasis on fighting ability; however, this world is more horrifying than you think; you have also witnessed its horror."
"That is why you cannot always defeat your enemies. The enemy is not stupid enough to always want to fight 1 vs. 1 with you."
"If… you were deceived and entered the siege of so many enemies, what would you do then?"
"You cannot fight because even if you fight, you will surely lose. At that time, you need to be able to escape."
"That's why, from now on, you must find some method or skill that can help you escape, understand?"
"Yes!" All four of them said in unison.
They also realised that Lathel made this request because he really cared about their safety.
Of course, they themselves don't want to die, so they will definitely do their best to find a way to ensure their safety.
After eating, Autumn and Spring were in charge of cleaning up and washing the dishes. While winter and summer were cleaning up the surrounding area.
Lathel… of course, didn't need to do anything else. After all, he was the one who cooked, and now that everyone had finished eating, he didn't want to be the one washing the dishes.
He sat under the tree and sighed as he looked towards Dorack, lying in the distance, under another tree.
Seven days had passed, but Dorack still hadn't woken up. He didn't know what the hell Viva was doing, nor did he know whether Dorack could endure Viva's hellish training programme.
Besides, he could not enter the energy space to see what Viva was doing because she locked his energy space, and although he could use magical energy normally, he could not enter that space.
In the end, Lathel could only sigh and wait.
"I…" Suddenly, Spring walked up to him, bowed her head, and said: "Village Chief Doro wants to see you."
"Hmm?!" Lathel frowned. He knew Doro would definitely look for him, but... he didn't expect it to take so long: "Okay, let him come here."
"Yes…" Spring bowed her head and hurriedly left.
A moment later, Doro slowly approached, his appearance seemed to have become much older. His hair had also completely turned white, and there were more wrinkles on his face.
Doro trembled as he walked in front of Lathel, then knelt down, bowed his head, and said: "God."
"You want to ask me about Doba, right?"
Hearing that, Doro's body trembled even more intensely. He felt both embarrassed and sad: "Yes, please save this tribe... he… he…"
Lathel shook his head: "I can't save you."
"Why?" Doro raised his head, tears flowing from his old and faded eyes, with only a little light remaining as if to prove that he was still alive.
He was worried and afraid and said: "God... are you planning to leave this tribe?"
Lathel sighed and said: "I will not leave you. You yourselves have abandoned your light."
"Doro, don't you know what you have done? It was you… who asked me to give power to Doba."
When Doro heard that he felt despair, he bowed his head, not knowing how to respond to Lathel.
"Okay, you can go back. Everything has its destiny. If the destiny of this tribe has come to an end, then… let it end."
"No!"
BAM!
Doro immediately put his head on the ground, his forehead bleeding, and his voice sounded tired: "God, please help me. Just this once."
"I… I know what I did was wrong. I know my decisions are wrong, but... everyone in this tribe is not wrong. They can't die, they…"
Lathel sighed and shook her head: "I can't save you."
"I… please… please… I… I…" Doro stammered, tears streaming down his old face.
BAM!
Suddenly, a beam of light flashed in the distance, which was where Dorack lay. He slowly stood up, and the light surrounding him slowly disappeared.
Dorack clenched his hands; his eyes were completely different from before.
There was less arrogance, as it was replaced by calmness and indifference to everything.
Dorack walked in front of Lathel, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head close to the ground with all his sincerity and respect: "God, I don't have any words to describe my gratitude for you."
"I can only say… My life is yours. I will certainly be eternally loyal to you, letting your light shine on this world."
"However, God, before I serve you, please allow me to rescue this tribe."
