"I have always believed that you are more humane and compassionate than the emperors of all generations. Defik. The holy empire today is not worth maintaining at all. Since you can agree with Yizhak's rebellion, why can't you let me take the seal?!"

"Tillian placed the World Tree in the Great Hall, and the church set the Holy Holy in Estoni, just to guard the Seal of Light. The Emperor was not allowed to leave for life, and only to protect the important task given by the goddess."

Neither side was willing to give in.

"I have experienced too many sad things in this world. This ordinary heart has endured too many unbearable pains. I don't want you to die, Defik..." As he approached step by step, Roland's hand holding the sword was trembling.

She didn't want to kill this kind half-elves himself, and he had already paid too much to maintain peace to the church, alliance, and even the night elves.

"Although I am not your opponent, I will not choose to give up my duties." I silently recited the prayer and opened the strongest barrier of light around my body. Defik was ready to hold on.

"Is it because of...Moya's relationship?!She..." She was eager to tell the other party that Moya had not really lost her original soul, but the Emperor shook it.

"As early as five hundred years ago, I had already stopped thinking. The bitter fruit I chose was swallowed by myself. The reason why I had to keep my duties was not because I didn't trust you.

General Immortal War, even if you fall into the desperate prison of underworld, you still have a heart of compassion. It makes your soul shine incredibly dazzling no matter how dark it is, and makes the people around you like and admire it involuntarily. The child Yizhak has heard me tell you stories since he was a child. He has always hoped to be a knight like you who fights for faith.

But... I cannot trust the god who lives in your body. He is too violent and angry. Because he lost the throne of the heads of the gods, he has lost his mind for the Lord God who has become the king of the underworld. He is crazy and just wants to destroy this world. How is he different from the high priest of the death god Laxis? In comparison, it is more dangerous and more destructive."

Defik's words made Roland unable to defend himself.

Yes, she always knew that Rafa wanted to cleanse the entire Anesia, to recreate the world, and to destroy all the gods and species that he did not like, and that he did not create.

It is precisely because he is the Creator of this world that he has become increasingly violent and irrational under this twisted and pathetic concept.

But... I'm willing to believe him.

At the other end of the gap in time, the tenderness that Rafa had never felt before made Roland feel very pleased.

This violent god has never had such a gentle side, no longer a madness and destruction obsession. It should be the true posture that a master god should have, and the Creator who is respected by ancient dragons and elemental elves.

"If you have to sacrifice your life to complete the release of the seal, I think that the dead person is me... not you, Moya, Sistale or Yarisha and any of them. Since coming to this illusory world, you have committed too many murders. These hands have been soaked in too much blood. Even if you destroy a hundred souls, it is not enough to compensate for the sins you have committed. Hand over the seal... Defik..."

"I refuse." Defik's face was calm. Although a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes after hearing Roland's words, he still did not agree.

"Don't force me... Once Rafa wakes up, you will have no room for maneuver." Roland was extremely anxious. She was about to get the seal before the sleeping Rafa wakes up.

In God's eyes, the life of mortals is like dust and is simply insignificant.

[Kill him, Roland.]

The sudden command in his mind made Roland froze.

Finally... still awake?

Defik, why are you so stubborn?

Why don’t you cherish your inability to live at all? This seal is not worthy of your protection?

Is the position of the Emperor so important?

Why do you have to sacrifice your life to protect yourself?

"Do you still remember your oath, my knight. The object you are loyal to is me, not the group of gods in the Star Ghost Realm." The phantom appeared, and Rafa floated to Roland, reminding her not to forget her duties.

"As the Knight of the Vow, I should be the one you are protecting first. The gods are trying to seal again, and not lift the forbidden they impose on me, and you will also be affected. Roland, don't forget what you said!!"

"Defick!!"

The final cry of despair was only exchanged for a stronger magical wall. Roland raised the blade in his hand and swung a fatal blow in pain.

The collapsed World Tree collapsed with the broken barrier. Defik, who had evacuated all the protections in the last moment, lay on the cold ground, staring at the fluorescent lights scattered in the air, without the anger of death, only the peace of relief.

"Why... why don't you resist?!" Running over, Roland squatted down and looked at the dying Defik, wondering why he did this.

Giving up the strongest barrier as the agent of the Goddess of Light is simply suicide.

"The Seal of Light is the most important inheritance of every Dharma Emperor when he succeeds. Although its source of power is the World Tree, the last wall is the heart of each Dharma Emperor. Only death can obtain the key to open the seal..." After a long time, the lost Derfik turned his head and looked at Roland beside him.

"So you were ready to seek death from the beginning, right, Defik. Why not explain?"

"Haha...if you explain it, you will not be able to do anything, Roland." For the first time, put aside the tedious etiquette, Defik called Roland's real name for the first time, instead of the cold title of General Ming Zhan; "Don't be sad about my death, this is the inevitable result. It was destined a long time ago. As early as the moment I gave up Moya for the benefit of the family and the royal family, this heart had died, and died in the dark underground prison with her kindness and innocence.

Every time I see her and Sistale, I will blame myself over and over again. Why did I give up at the beginning? Why did I abandon the happiness that was already within my reach so easily? What families, kingdoms, and these things that I have maintained for the rest of my life, but in the end I can't even protect my own happiness...

The fire of jealousy has been burning my heart. When I think of me becoming as sad as Bai Ling, I can't help laughing at myself. Because... I abandoned the right to jealousy a long time ago.

I originally thought that I could use the help of the half-elves' bloodline and the position of the Emperor to watch her from afar. Even if I could only have a simple connection through this identity, it would be better than having no news. But she left so suddenly that it was so fast that I couldn't accept it.

Moya, why do you always make me suffer..." The voice gradually weakened and eventually stopped.

"Defick..." The always decent French monologue made Roland almost cry when he listened.

In her impression, Defik was humble and kind than the emperors of all generations, but he never expected that behind him, there was also a desperate dream.

Why, every one makes her so sad.

Ellison's lich, Ain's daughter Mansha, and even Defik.
