Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
68. Guiding the King Candidate (5)

The memory of the sixty-sixth round is not very clear but I know it is one of the darkest turns.

I woke up on a black table filled with piles of paper inscribed with the letters of the demon world, in my hand a pen seemed to me to use to write something. The writing was clearly legible and more surprisingly it contained not a clue what happened in the play but a clue that was shown to myself, it was as if my previous self knew that I would remember this moment.

There is no self, there is no past.

We are born always to see the future, what happened before is just the wounds and the process necessary to be in this position, to remove this curse.

The curse has been eroded bit by bit, but we know that this will not be easy.it may take a thousand more rounds for us to get to the right point and opportunity.

I have tried and I do not regret the failure of my efforts because I am sure one day we will see the future that we always dreamed of.

Our dream is to go back home together.

the Demon King of Tribulation

Time turned around and my vision went back to normal. I called my black butterfly back and turned into a shadow, the life energy I had snatched gathered into a long white sword with black crystal ornaments held onto it.

The sword I swung towards the bars holding the light elves, instantly freeing them. The black iron bars melted into ashes that were now flying in the air, with a relieved and happy face Nik and Kaleid were about to get closer to me but instead of the chaos was over now an arrow of light pierced my chest.

The gaze of all eyes was now on the Elf King who was now pointing his bow at me, making it clear that the bottom was the one that had just shot a sharp arrow at me. The power of light and darkness clashed within my body, creating an immense pain.

"Mr Novan!!"

The red dragon that Morpheus was riding was apparently Fobetor, both of them immediately ran towards me and held my body which was now off balance. My mind felt empty as the pain from the arrow spread and clashed with my dark energy. My skin looked cracked and the crack was shining as if the power of light was gnawing at me like a white root that continued to expand in the ground.

"What does this mean uncle?!" Nik shouted towards the elf king, along with that the dark elf princess looked at the elf king with a frightened look. The problems that seemed to be about to be solved turned out to be much more complicated than I imagined.

"I already thought that you guys were the same as your flabby parents" the elf king looked down at Nik and the dark elf princess. "This is the reason why I got rid of your parents, because I am the only one who deserves to lead the elves in this forest".

"I won't let an elf like you destroy what my father fought for!" The elf princess leaped towards the elf king and her black sword clashed with the light energy that protected the king, creating such a powerful spark of power. The battle was unavoidable, the frightened Dark elves now began to shout and attack the light elves who were trying to attack their princesses.

"Protect the princess!"

"Don't let the king fall! keep holding!"

A battle between the two sides ensued and Nik Kaleid came towards us while protecting us. On the other hand, the human youth who had been by the princess' side seemed to run away but Morpheus immediately caught up with her.

"All right! I was indeed the one who planned this incident but the real conflict had started long before I came! The current King of Light elves was the culprit of this battle!"

"Explain in more detail if you don't want to die" Nik said, now his eyes seemed to be enveloped in anger. A violent whirl of wind balls shot out from his hand and he aimed his hand right at the young man.

"The two elf kings had previously died! and the current elf king was the one who had killed them. His goal was to unite the two elven races and lead them in the grasp of his own hands!"

Nik now seemed to understand what happened "So therefore he expelled me and did not allow the dark elf princess to ascend the throne to replace her late father while he quickly assumed my father's position on the grounds that I was unfit to replace my father?" the wind that appeared in Nik's hand slowly grew and surrounded his body.

"Only for the sake of a crown and high office does he destroy our nation?"

The air filled with positive and negative energy now seemed to be accompanied by a wind that blew so hard, leaves fell and trees swayed in the direction of the wind owned by Nik. Simultaneously several golden leaf petals were formed from magic power overflowing out from Nik's body.

Everyone's gaze was now fixed on Nik, and panic emanated so clearly from the Elf King's eyes. And when he was about to point his arrow towards Nik a sword enveloped by the aura of fire power had pierced through his chest "I won't let you hurt my friend" Kaleid stood behind the elf king and managed to deliver a fatal attack that gave Nik a chance to point his magic towards the elf King.

"O mother earth whom we love, O the sound of the wind that wanders the corners of this forest and all the spirits that inhabit our homeland. Listen to my voice, lend me your strength to punish the traitors of the nation" the five great spirit figures showed themselves behind Nik and channeled their energies. "Pure us from the sin he has committed" the powerful natural energy now united to form a ball of energy that instantly shot towards the Elf King and obliterated it into falling white flower petals.

Nik's eyes stared at the dozens of flower petals and then turned towards the dark elf princess "Harmony.." He called out the girl's name and spread out his arms. Without a word the elf girl hugged him and cried in Nik's arms, the two separated companions now meet again.

Cheers of excitement rang out from the Dark Elves' side while the paar light elves seemed to freeze in their place, their eyes only locked on Nik who now looked so similar to the late king they loved, making a guilt stab at their hearts for having driven Nik away for his magic power.

The night has passed and soon the sun will be seen, but the pain in my body will not go away. All the voices now sounded so indistinct, my vision began to blur but in the midst of all that Morpheus lifted up my body and with black wings outstretched on his back he flew quickly, take me back to where the world's tree is. There he laid down my body a hidden altar within the trunk of the great tree.

"I know you're still here! Fantasos! Show yourself!"

Morpheus called out his brother's name but there was no answer, fear and panic were evident on his face as he stared at me. I shook my head as if to say that everything would be fine. "Basic.don't make me look like I'm going to die soon" Gurauku and tried to smile.

"it's very cold here... " My eyes looked up at the ceiling and then I closed my eyes for a moment before reopening them "What do you always feel like?" Somehow once again I saw myself, now his face seemed to smile and touch my head, making all the energy in my body now overflow out.

The dark energy and light that was still churning in my body slowly came out and vanished absorbed by the world tree, making the golden-colored leaves start to grow from the branches of the tree. Along with the pain that disappeared a beautiful crown of light formed in the air and floated before me.

Morpheus took a step back as the Elves began to gather around the world tree, witnessing how I might obtain a crown that they called the true crown of the elven king.
