Chapter 452 [Bonus Chapter]Cap 450.5: Wish To Protect
Pov Freya:
Since becoming an Ancient Elf I've felt a need to be close to the master, I feel like being close to him completes me in some way.
It took me a few days of apprenticeship with the Elf Queen Luthien to truly understand why this feeling.
It's actually a mixture of things, I feel comfortable around the master because an Ancient Elf's body is one with the side of nature that brings harmony, peace, and prosperity.
This allows me to harmonize with nature, but the master is the opposite, I can feel something in him that causes destruction, transformation, and evolution.
That which I feel from the master seems to complete what I myself have become, according to Elf Queen Luthien, I can only perceive this because of the connection I formed with the master, this connection was also one of the things that makes me feel the most near him.
But then I realized something else too, besides my daughter and her husband Leo, I haven't trusted anyone for a long time, the previous master was a good person, but I felt that he treated us well as compensation for the mistreatment that his children caused us.
Master Zenos may be far from perfect, but he's the most honest person I've ever met after my innocent daughter.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
The master gave us a true home where we can act freely, he cares about everyone even more than himself and is always willing to help us with anything.
The strangest thing about the master is his way of thinking, for some reason he doesn't consider himself a good person, his image of a good person seems to be that of a pure saint who doesn't exist.
The master may not know it, but during the three months he was unconscious during his last evolution, everyone was doing their best for him.
Rakan devoted himself to his research to be prepared when the master needed him, Jade as well as other people who were saved by the master gave themselves to a hellish training to be of help to the master in the next battles.
There was also Ibuki who was always by the master's side, she was the only one among all of us who didn't worry and firmly believed that he would wake up, but that wouldn't make any difference since she was always the one who trained the most among all of us.
With this power that I have now as an Ancient Elf, I will protect everything I love, I will not allow myself to lose another home, and I will not let my daughter go through what I went through so many years ago, this time I will be strong enough.
Because of that I've been training as hard as possible in a way I haven't in years.
I cannot waste this power the master has bestowed on me and I cannot waste the efforts the Elf Queen has put into training me.
I'm still not good enough at handling all three types of energy, but I'm trying my best to be as prepared as possible.
This battle will be the place where I will see what I'm capable of during a battle, with that thought I enter the Illusory Forest along with the others to prepare for the beginning of the master's plan against the approaching wave of monsters.
The master asked me to do my best not to approach the monsters and try to fight from a distance with my bow and arrow.
But that will have to be enough this time, for a first real combat experience being an Ancient Elf this will be enough as if I get in danger due to my inexperience in controlling this power, I might end up causing more problems for the master.
With that mindset I go to the area that has been assigned to me.
