Chapter 1164 Legendary fight

Elandril, still cradled by the ancient tree's roots, looked at Yala with a mixture of paternal concern and determination. "Listen, Yala," he began, his voice a gentle yet firm anchor in the midst of turmoil. "I need you to be strong. The fate of Eldora depends on us overcoming this darkness."

Yala, tear-streaked but resolute, met her father's gaze. "I can't just leave you here, Father. What if something happens to you?"

Elandril cupped her face in his hands, his touch a source of comfort. "I will be alright. The forest has its own healing magic, and I am not alone. I need you to find Lyon, and inform him of the situation, and together, you can rally the forces needed to reclaim Eldora from those who seek to harm it."

Yala hesitated, torn between filial duty and the urgency of her father's plea. "I don't want to lose you, Father."

Elandril smiled, a blend of sorrow and love in his eyes. "You won't lose me, my dear. We will reunite once this storm has passed. Now, go. Time is of the essence."

Yala's voice quivered as she voiced her concern about her mother. "What about mother?" she asked, her eyes pleading for reassurance.

Elandril, though visibly worried, maintained a calm exterior for his daughter. He placed a comforting hand on Yala's shoulder and spoke with a fatherly warmth, "Your mother is resilient, Yala. She knows how to navigate through challenges, and I believe she will find her way. Our focus now is to gather Lyon's help and secure Eldora's future."

Yala tried to find solace in her father's words, but the uncertainty lingered in her eyes. "But what if something happens to her? What if she's in danger?"

Elandril sighed, understanding the depth of Yala's anxiety. "We can't let fear paralyze us. Trust in your mother's strength, just as I trust in yours. Lyon's assistance is crucial, and together, we'll ensure the safety of Eldora and reunite our family."

Yala gazed at her father with a mixture of concern and determination. "Then what about you, father?" she inquired, her voice laden with worry.

Elandril managed a reassuring smile despite the pain evident in his features. "I will be fine, Yala. I need some time to recuperate and heal. Once I'm back on my feet, I'll make a decision—whether to join you or set out to save your mother. But for now, I need you to be strong, just as you've always been."

Tears welled up in Yala's eyes, reflecting the emotional turmoil within. She nodded, acknowledging her father's words. "I will find Lyon and seek his help. And when you're ready, we'll face whatever challenges come our way together."

Elandril reached out, gently wiping away a tear from Yala's cheek. "That's my brave daughter. Now go, and remember, our family's strength lies in each other."

With a determined nod, Yala took a step back, casting a lingering look at her father before turning to embark on the journey that lay ahead—a journey to find Lyon and unravel the mysteries shrouding Eldora.

Elandril, having watched Yala depart on her quest, couldn't help but feel a swell of pride in his heart. A smile adorned his face as he observed his daughter slowly vanish from his sight.

"Now, then, to do as I told," Elandril murmured, placing his bow by his side. The green gem embedded in the weapon began to emit a soft glow. "Depending on you, Orion."

Giant veins emerged from the fresh soil beneath him, delicately lifting his form. As if responding to an ancient rhythm, the roots expanded, creating a protective cocoon around him. The intertwining of roots formed an impenetrable barrier, cradling Elandril's entire body in a natural embrace.

In this suspended state, Elandril began a process of deep rest and rejuvenation, drawing strength from the very essence of the forest around him. The mysterious power of Eldora intertwined with the life force coursing through the roots, weaving a tale of resilience and determination in the face of looming challenges.

Yala ventured deeper into the woods, the towering trees forming a natural canopy above her. The forest was alive with the whispers of leaves and the occasional rustle of creatures hidden in the underbrush. Each step she took resonated with determination, her heart beating in sync with her resolve.

As she moved forward, the air around her seemed to carry the weight of her emotions—sorrow for her father's plight, fear for her mother's safety, and an unyielding determination to seek help from Lyon, the legendary figure known as Zodiac. The very name stirred tales of power, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to justice.

The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow on the forest floor. Yala's thoughts raced, contemplating the challenges that lay ahead. The echoes of her father's words lingered in her mind, urging her to be strong. She clutched her bow tightly, a symbol of her heritage, and continued on the path with unwavering determination.

The woods seemed to respond to her presence, the ancient trees standing as silent witnesses to her journey. As Yala moved forward, the forest gradually thinned, revealing a path that led deeper into the heart of Eldora. The journey to find Lyon 'Zodiac' Torga had just begun, and Yala carried with her the hopes of her family and the fate of Eldora itself.

"Well, no stone left unturned... well except for the golems themselves," Cecile remarked, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and amusement.

"I guess she didn't make one," Lyon added with a resigned sigh, his tone echoing the disappointment that permeated the room.

Selena, Karina, and Kesya joined in the collective sigh, their expressions mirroring the acknowledgment of their failed attempt to uncover Harvestasya's secrets. The once beautiful abode had turned into a symbol of their thwarted efforts, with no tangible leads to show for their thorough search.

Lyon, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Hey, guys, how about I take a little solo stroll through Golem City? I've got this urge to soak in the stony ambiance all by myself, you know? A bit of one-on-one time with the city of rocks." n-.0Velb1n

Cecile raised an eyebrow, her curiosity evident. "Alone? You sure you'll be fine without your entourage of capable individuals?"

Lyon flashed a carefree smile. "Absolutely! I'll be the lone adventurer navigating the stone jungle. Besides, who knows what exciting adventures await me in this golem-filled haven?"

Kesya, ever the adventurous spirit, chimed in, "Well, as long as you promise not to get into trouble without us, go ahead, Master. We'll be right here, ready to jump in if you need rescuing."

Liu, the pragmatic one, offered a piece of advice. "Just keep an eye out for any suspicious stones. You never know what kind of tricks they might pull."

As Lyon ventured off into the bustling city, his friends watched him disappear into the stone-laden streets, exchanging knowing glances. Cecile mused, "He's always been the adventurer at heart. Let's hope Golem City can keep up with his mischievous acts."

Lyon strolled through Golem City, absorbing the unique atmosphere that surrounded him. The air, while tainted with anti-mana, felt strangely refreshing, and he couldn't help but appreciate the break from the magical suffocation outside. As he wandered, the golems, recognizing him, greeted him in their own peculiar way.

"Emperor Hero," they acknowledged, each stone construct going about its tasks with a distinctiveness that caught Lyon's attention. Unlike the uniformity of most cities, each golem seemed to possess its own personality, reflected in their varied appearances and actions.

He observed them engaged in tasks akin to human activities. Some were crafting, others tending to small gardens, and a few engaged in what seemed like animated discussions—well, as animated as a conversation between rocks could get.

Lyon found the diversity among the golems fascinating. It was as if the city itself was a living, breathing entity, each stone contributing to the collective identity of Golem City. Smiling, he continued his exploration, eager to uncover the intricacies hidden within the stony embrace of this unique metropolis.

"Hmm?"?Lyon's eyes widened as he beheld a grand mural, its intricate details captivating his attention. The stone canvas depicted a tale of old—a narrative woven in the language of art. The mural illustrated Lyon, leading a group of adventurers with a confident smirk adorning his face. They stood united against a colossal golem that towered over its peers, a formidable adversary that seemingly surpassed all others.

Lyon's fingers delicately traced the contours of the mural, and in an instant, his mind transcended the boundaries of stone and paint. The vivid details of the mural came to life in his mind's eye, transporting him to the very scene it depicted.

His surroundings shifted, and Lyon found himself standing at the forefront of the grand tableau. His hair fluttered in an unseen breeze, and his arms were confidently crossed against his chest. By his side stood Cecile, the War Maiden, a formidable presence exuding strength and resilience. Little Graham, despite his size, radiated determination as he stood shoulder to shoulder with the seasoned adventurers.

Kesya, with her mystical aura, added an air of enchantment to the tableau, standing poised for action. Selena, wielding a gleaming sword, emanated a sense of prowess and determination. Lyon's smirk mirrored the one captured in the mural, a symbol of unwavering confidence in the face of a surmounting adversary.
