Chapter 1713: Chapter 1163: Melancholy Dragon Maiden (Part 2)

Perhaps it will be challenging, but it won’t carry that sense of helplessness and despair anymore.

Thinking of this, Morgan’s eyes began to shine.

After a long time, Morgan finally looked at Reiger.

"And you?" Morgan suddenly asked, "Will you help me?"

Reiger was a bit stunned and, meeting Morgan’s gaze, saw her eyes.

There seemed to be something familiar flickering inside them.

"I will."

Thus, Reiger nodded heavily.

If Morgan truly had the thought, then this time, he would indeed help her.

There’s no way around it, especially since they still had a "stake" connecting them.

To be precise, their relationship was far more intimate than the one between Reiger and Altoria.

Even if... Altoria was the first one to come along.

Though somewhat theatrical, it was filled with strange fate and inexplicable reasons, yet Reiger and Morgan indeed had a proper wedding ceremony.

This matter, Reiger hadn’t forgotten.

...

A minute later...

Watching Reiger’s gradually departing figure, Morgan withdrew her gaze.

She looked at this black land and the ever-present Abyssal Aura around, drawing a conclusion.

"This place is not suitable for establishing a nation."

Even though the abyssal passage had been closed, this land had been severely eroded and polluted by the Abyssal Aura, long devoid of vitality.

Establishing a nation here would take an unknown amount of time and effort to make it suitable for living.

Seeing such a land, Morgan would invariably think of that other cursed land.

Hence, Morgan almost instantly gave up on this idea.

However, the place Reiger just mentioned sparked a significant interest in Morgan.

"Akasha Continent?"

That seemed to be the world where Reiger first stayed and was primarily active.

There are many countries there, constantly in conflict, yet unlike this world, it doesn’t have so many complex races, and there isn’t an abyss hovering threateningly.

Since she wanted to establish a peaceful country where people could live happily, Morgan naturally wished the nation’s location could be closer to that purpose.

"Let’s go there."

Morgan quietly made a decision.

She wanted to establish a brand new New Britannia there.

She aimed to unify that continent and end its conflicts.

This time, she’s no longer alone, surrounded by many trustworthy people.

There, the peaceful country of her dreams would definitely emerge.

By then, the Rain Clan could live happily there, and her adopted daughter wouldn’t have to suffer betrayal, torment, and abuse to death as in the past.

In that country, she wouldn’t be the only king.

"The scene not realized in the Fairy Country will be realized in Britain’s mainland on that continent."

"You will share the throne with me, ruling over Britannia."

"My husband..."

...

On the other side, leaving Morgan, Reiger did not immediately leave but flew towards the outskirts of Mistag.

When he left Mistag and reached the skies above the black land, a white meteor immediately entered his sight.

"Boom——"

In the sound of atmospheric turbulence, the white meteor, carrying a sonic boom and airwaves, cut across the sky at an astonishing speed, aiming at a bizarre abyssal creature with many hands and feet.

"Psh!""Psh!""Psh!"...

With the strike of the Fairy Sword Alondate, the strange, bizarre-shaped Abyssal creature’s limbs, stretching towards the white meteor, were easily severed like brittle branches.

"Psh!"

Before the Abyssal creature could let out a cry of pain, the white meteor had already slashed it in half.

After dealing with the abyssal creature, the white meteor continued traversing the sky, rushing towards other approaching abyssal creatures.

"..."

Reiger stopped in mid-air, standing and observing the white meteor rampaging through the sky outside the city, without any intention of stopping it, simply watching quietly.

Those approaching abyssal creatures seemed to have been attracted by the disturbance caused by the sonic boom and intense airwaves as the white meteor pierced the sky. Unfortunately, they encountered the beautiful goddess of death, which could only imply poor luck on their part.

This killing spree lasted for several hours.

Only when no more abyssal creatures were attracted in the vicinity did the continuously flying white meteor finally stop, revealing its full form.

A petite figure with long, silver hair down to her waist, not clad in armor but wearing a blue-and-white corseted dress, long boots on her feet, and her hands equipped with sword-sheath-shaped gauntlets whose front end had two radiant lightsabers extended.

It could be no one else but Melusine.

"Sigh..."

The cold, beautiful dragon fairy had just gone on a rampage, yet her doll-like exquisite face showed no valiant spirit; instead, she sighed gently, like a despondent maiden.

"Even after venting like this, why do I still feel so melancholic?"

Reiger finally spoke, addressing the dragon maiden he unintentionally brought along.

"...It’s not about venting; I just found them annoying."

Melusine seemed long aware of Reiger’s presence, so she wasn’t surprised, still maintaining her melancholic expression as she spoke.

"This is what another world looks like? It’s even more barren and displeasing than cursed Britannia or the toxic Dragon Corpse Swamp."

Without waiting for Reiger’s explanation, Melusine gloomily voiced her thoughts.

"Indeed, someone useless like me, unwanted by anyone, not supposed to continue existing in this world — being thrown into a place like this is only natural."

If anyone familiar with Melusine – or the former Elf Knight Lancelot – were here seeing her now, they would surely question if they had the wrong person.

That calm, confident, beautiful, ruthless, gallant most formidable Elf Knight seemed now so despondent and melancholic, making one wonder whether she was truly herself.

Ever since the end of the war in Britannia, Melusine had been in this state.

"Are you still thinking about that troublesome fairy?"

Reiger couldn’t help feeling puzzled.

"Aurora..."

Melusine again recalled that beautiful clan leader who granted her everything and whom she loved dearly, her expression becoming even more somber.

"Don’t mind me; I’m just a waste who can’t even protect the person I love, a piece of rubbish unable to live without someone saving me. Just let me be here till I perish."

Melusine sank into self-abandonment, unable to extricate herself.

Evidently, Aurora’s death hit Melusine hard, to the extent that even her brother, Pasival, could only smile bitterly, admitting he was powerless before her condition.

Due to this, when Chaldea invited all survivors to visit the pan-human history, Noconalay, concerned for her people, accepted without hesitation, wanting to continue fighting side by side with the Round Table members. Pasival also accepted, as did Habettelot and Gareth, while Bagster, saved by Reiger’s [Effortless Transformation] similar to Melusine, agreed to Chaldea’s invitation wishing to witness the fairies’ future.

Yet, Melusine, despite her loving brother’s persuasion, couldn’t gather the strength and could only be taken along by Reiger.

Of course, it was also Melusine’s own choice.

In her words...

"I no longer know what to do, so to repay my life debt, I will dedicate my future life to you."

This was why Reiger decided to bring her along.
