After five of Eldriana'a subordinates teamed up to defeat one of the A rankers attacking Eldriana, the pressure on her decreased quite a bit after that. Even though all her subordinates except only one were already dead, she was determined to keep Poetrie alive. But Eldriana and her extremely bad luck for the day continued as three more A rankers appeared as backup for her enemy.

Actually a total of 10 A rankers were taking part in this mission to kill Eldriana and her subordinates. But only 7 took part in the main operation and 3 were standing by to take action in case of any unexpected circumstances. The death of 2 A rankers was a significant enough event for them to join the other A rankers against Eldriana as they could not afford to lose any more A rankers in a mission to kill only a single initial A rank powerhouse.

This was a really bad situation. Eldriana was very much capable of taking care of 5 A rankers alone. But when their numbers reached 8, it became an extremely perilous situation.

...

While Eldriana was busy fighting against eight A rankers, Poetrie finally finished killing all the other soldiers who came with the A rankers. Now expected for Poetrie, all the other people who were not A rank had already perished. The eight A rankers were also busy handling Eldriana, so they had no time to care about a weakling like Poetrie.

So in the current situation, if Poetrie ran away, she would definitely be able to safely run away from this hellish battlefield. As a very young B ranker, she had a bright future ahead. Even her already death comrades and Eldriana herself would not blame her for running away at this moment and even be happy.

But one had to remember that Poetrie was the most loyal to Eldriana among all the subordinates who followed her. Her loyalty toward Eldriana was fanatical. Since the day she had decided to follow Eldriana, Poetrie's only goal in life was to serve her all the way and dying while doing so.

Currently Eldriana was in a very bad situation. Her life was truly in danger. So, how could Poetrie leave her idol behind and run away. But thoughtlessly interfering in a battle of this scale was definitely a bad idea. Poetrie was not strong enough for that yet. What she could do was to wait for a chance when she could give her all to help Eldriana somehow. Her intuition was telling her that she should stay close to the A rank battlefield and that would be beneficial to Eldriana.

Poetrie always had great intuition. She never awakened any skill about it but she still believed in her intuition very much. And it very quickly turned out to be a very correct decision.

...

After fighting for so long with so many powerhouses who had power levels higher than hers, Eldriana was feeling quite tired even with her special physic. And the curses alongside the weapons with healing disruption ability were also taking a toll on her.

Many of her wounds were not healing anymore and those were making her slow. Her stamina was also hitting the rock bottom. In this condition Eldriana made the very first mistake of this battle and paid dearly for it. She failed to see through a faint and tried to defend against a useless attack, but that made her guard to have a flaw. The A rankers were not fools and took advantage of this flaw and Eldriana got pierced by a spear through her abdomen. It was followed by a spiked morning star hitting the right side of her face and as that weapon also had healing disruption properties, she lost one of her eyes.

This was definitely a decisive moment. Finding this golden opportunity, all the A rankers started to attack Eldriana like crazy. Just as Eldriana felt the creeping shadow of true death enveloping her, a figure suddenly came out of nowhere and took her to a distant location.

It was not too far away from the battlefield so the A rankers would definitely be able to find them very soon, but having that little bit of extra time made a world of difference especially in a battle of such high scale.

Eldriana opened her eyes wide to see that the person who saved her just now was none other than Poetrie, her most loyal subordinate and a little sister she was very fond of. But currently the right side of her upper body was missing and she was on her last breath.

Poetrie had used an extremely rare teleportation magic treasure that she had fortunately found to save Eldriana's life at this moment. But for that magic item to take effect, she needed to touch Eldriana. The act of touching her in the middle of so many A rankers was definitely not easy and she had to endure various attacks to do this. Among which, the most dangerous one blew up the right side of her upper body. She would definitely die in a moment or two.

But Poetrie just could not depart the world of living without telling a few things to Eldriana, so she mastered all the strength she had and more to whisper her last words for Eldriana to hear. She did not want her idol to die and if she did not do anything, Eldriana would definitely die.

Even if she could kill all these A rankers she would still probably just commit suicide. She knew very well how much Eldriana loved her and her comrades. So she decided to cast a curse on Eldriana that would make her want to live with a future to look forward to.

"Eldriana sama. P-please don't make such a face. None of us were unhappy when we died. War is... Not a forgiving place. We all knew that death was just around the corner. Will you allow me to make a selfish request Eldriana sama ?"

Seeing Poetrie's condition tears started to fall from the corner of her eyes. The sadness she was trying her best suppress wailed up but still she said in a quivering voice -

"I will do anything you ask."

Seeing that resolute expression on her face Poetrie smiled lightly and said -

"Please live on, Eldriana sama. You're the only family member we have left in this world. If you're gone we will also be truly gone. Please remember us forever and live on for us. So that our memories will not be forgotten. I'm very sorry, Eldriana sama that I will not be able to accompany you anymore. I love you, we all love you."

Those were Poetrie's last words before she also died. Hugging the deceased body of her last family member, Eldriana's body started trembling and a guttural scream then came out of Eldriana's throat as she cried for the first and last time in her life. Her loud crying noise resounded throughout this whole battlefield.

Obviously this was heard by the A rankers who were searching for Eldriana and quickly followed the sound. Soon the sound of crying turned into the sound of laughter. But that laughter was so sad and eerie that it sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

...

Even though it looked like Eldriana was always fighting with the intention to stay alive, that was actually not the case. After Eldriana died and came back to life, she was always trying to die as she thought that might bring her more powers. Obviously she could not go down without a fight but since that day when she died, she had no attachment to life anymore.

But after Poetrie gave her the curse, the curse to stay alive for a long time while remembering her family, she was forced to get attached to life. She had no intention to break her last promise to her family no matter how painful it was. So, for the first time after she awakened her powers, Eldriana wanted to live, live for the sake of her family.

As soon as that happened, her body suddenly lit up once again just like it did when she awakened her powers for the first time. After life came death and from death, life would rise again. Eldriana had experienced both birth and death but not rebirth.

Till now, Eldriana was not living, she was just a walking dead. Now finally she was reborn again with her promise to her precious family and was reborn again as a living. And with that her unique powers had the last awakening. Now she was finally complete. At that exact moment, the remaining 8 A rankers also reached the location where Eldriana was and their eyes met.
