"Yes, they planned to use me to get to the elf queen!"
Not wanting to relive what happened, Aelinor, with a hint of pain in her eyes, continued speaking.
"As for what happened next, I'm sure you can guess."
"Ultimately, this was what led to the downfall of the former queen"
"To rescue me, she sacrificed herself and summoned the avatar of the goddess of life to fight in her body"
"Although doing so almost caused a divine war in the heavens and burnt her soul as she was unable to withstand such a power"
"But since that day, the goddess of life has not responded to any of our calls"
"The elf queen did not pass down the method of merging with the world tree"
"Losing the queen and our biggest backer, it's not an exaggeration to say that I accelerated the downfall of the elf empire."
"In grief, I became suicidal"
"I wanted to leave my adventure friends and go back to the elf empire"
Slightly smiling, she motions, suddenly relaxed.
"And that was when I met him! My daughter's father, although no longer with us, was my guiding light back then"
"he stopped me from ending my life when I was lost in doubt"
"he told that death was the cowardly way out, only by getting stronger and righting your wrongs can one truly atone"
"Knowing that, I decided to dedicate my life to the elf empire, determined to revitalise them to our once glorious nation"
"Unfortunately, those human bastards seem to have done something to me, stopping me from breaking through"
"Ever since I escaped from there, there seemed to be something blocking me from breaking through, as if I dared break through, my soul would collapse on the spot."
Casually saying something that shocked the room, Aelinor continued speaking as she reached the end of your story.
"Anyway, I just want to let you know that I understand that experiencing a war like this, you're filled with all kinds of emotion"
"loss and shock"
"perhaps even wondering 'what if I did something different'"
"What if I were stronger?"
"What if I planned things differently?" She paused
"Unfortunately, you can go back in time!"
"In this world, I doubt even the strongest Gods can fight against the river of time. What you can do now is try to aim for a better future!"
"So don't falter because of this, stand up stronger! You four, regardless of whether you want to or not, are going to be in the centre of the new era"
"I don't know if you've felt it, but a new ear is already beginning"
"Those hidden forces and cults that had been hidden for years have begun to move"
"Even this attack from the twilight church, I doubt it will be the last. I have reason to suspect that the whole world would soon be engulfed in a giant war"
"So get stronger, you all! And don't fall here!"
Giving her words, Aelinor stood up, leaving as quickly as she came.
She had already said her thoughts; now she needed them to process her words.
"Silence…"
And just as she had predicted, as soon as she left, the room was instantly brought into an awkward silence.
Although they knew what Aelinor said was true, things were always easier said than done.
If they wanted to, none of them wanted to feel the way they currently felt.
Unfortunately, facing a seventh order at that stage, it was already a miracle their mind weren't broken, even though they survived.
"Sigh…."
"It seems like everyone has a lot on their mind. Don't worry about me, you three go rest"
"Obviously, nothing is going to come from saying anything now, so why don't we go back to our rooms and think back on it?"
"After that, let's eat here in like an hour and voice our thoughts"
"How does that sound? " Damien asked.
At this point, he felt a period of self-reflection was the best move.
And Lyra, Isabelle and Leona, hearing this, did not argue.
Rather than giving Damien one last deep look, they each whispered an okay and left the room.
A sight that made Damien just sigh.
However, just before he could begin his own self-reflection, his long-since-silent system finally spoke up.
[Detecting the host is awake…]
[Detecting the host's current state is currently in critical condition]
[Excess use of unstable mana and aura has created cracks in the host soul]
[Aura core is severely damaged]
[Mana core is severely damaged]
[Recommended action: use points to perform a full restoration]
Looking at all the prompts, Damien suddenly realised that in the heat of battle and fighting, he had missed a lot of things.
"If I remember correctly, I got 1000dp for making sure the elf queen's daughter was born, contributing to the plot"
"However, I spent it all editing, performing shadow step and a full heal, where are the points the system is asking to spend from?"
Thinking of this, Damien instantly scrolled up on his system logs, and what she saw next left him completely shaken.
[System Alert!] [12th Demon General Defeated.] [You have altered the course of the Great War.] [Calculating Reward…]
[Reward the host with 10000DP]
"What!?"
"Ten thousand!?"
Looking at the amount, Damien could hardly contain himself.
Ten thousand DP, this was an amount he had never seen in all his years since coming to this world.
Considering the nature of the battle, he also felt it was warranted.
Perhaps even on the small side.
However, at this moment, he didn't have the mind or patience to think of anything else.
Looking at the huge amount, there was only one thought in his mind.
A thought that its only possibility of becoming reality came through this sudden change.
Taking a deep breath, Damien spoke his mind.
"System, how much DP does it take to heal Lyra, Leona, and Isabelle?"
Yes, rather than healing himself, he was going to heal three of them first!
