Chapter 1469 The Valkyrie of the End
After obtaining the power of the Scarlet Goddess of Corruption, Millicent can already initially control the power of corruption in this huge corrupt underground cavity.
She raised her left hand and waved it gently, and the scarlet color around her immediately began to rotate.
The scarlet corrupt force that was originally clinging to the surface of the rock walls and tree roots and corroding madly turned into countless black and red corrupt butterflies, flapping their wings and flying towards Millicent.
When they were about to get close to her, all the corrupt butterflies turned into powder, and the powder twisted into a scarlet vortex that spun rapidly with Millicent as the center, and the vortex became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.
The horrific scarlet corruption disaster that broke out due to the third flowering of the Goddess of Corruption was completely wiped out by Millicent, and the Sacred Tree of Michaela and the countless creatures living on the sacred tree also escaped.
If it weren't for Millicent, the entire Michaela Sacred Tree and even the Holy Snowfield would have been reduced to a corrupt swamp equivalent to the Galid region under the third flowering of Marlennia.
Now, all of this huge blossoming power was absorbed by Millicent into her own Zanpakutō, and then transformed into pure golden blood for her own use.
The red feather ribbons danced like wings, and Millicent's figure slowly descended from the sky, landing on the shattered ground with a thud.
Not far in front of her, only half of her body was left, Malenia lying in a pool of blood, dying.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Marennia struggled to turn her head, and after a large amount of blood spurted out of her mouth, she whispered weakly:
“In the end…you…won.
Even if I gave up... all my dignity... I still couldn't... defeat... you..."
"It was not me who defeated you, but Lady Heather. What I hold is only the blessing given to me by Lady Heather."
Millicent shook her head slightly, looking down at this pathetic woman who was both her true self and her mother.
"Mikaela, he...abandoned you, didn't he?"
These words irritated Marennia, who was originally on the verge of death, and she yelled angrily: "No! My brother will never, ahem, never break the promise! He promised me!"
Even at the last moment of her life, Marenia still did not allow anyone to slander her beloved brother Michaela in front of her, not even her own daughter Millicent.
Millicent pursed her lips. She didn't know what to say. Perhaps letting Marennia die with a false dream in her arms would be the best outcome for her?
At this moment, a light and dreamy female voice sounded:
"No, Michaela, he...did abandon you."
Who is it? Millicent immediately raised her Zanpakutō and pointed it in the direction of the voice.
But Marenia was shocked, and then turned desperate: "You, you are..."
A figure quietly appeared in the open space not far from Malenia and Millicent, just like a dream, with no sign of where it came from.
This is a slender girl, her long wavy lavender hair floating softly in the air like seaweed in the water, her face is so beautiful that it seems to appear only in dreams, her whole body is wrapped in a purple dress as soft as clouds, her bare feet are not stepping on the blood-stained ground but floating, her beautiful big eyes contain the bright colors of dreams.
"Nice to meet you, Lady Millicent. My name is Torina, and I serve the same master as you."
Torina placed her hand on her chest and bowed slightly, a gentle smile on her face when she mentioned the 'master'.
It's Lady Heather... Millicent sensed a familiar aura on Torina. Was this girl also a lucky person blessed by Lady Heather? She put away her Zanpakutō and took a step back.
Since Lady Heather sent her here, there must be a purpose.
Marennia struggled to raise her head, with disbelief on her bloodstained face: "Is it... is it you... Torina..."
Torina landed her feet on the ground, leaned over and gently stroked Marennia's forehead and the rotten scars on her eyes. She didn't look disgusted at all, but just said softly in an extremely gentle voice:
"It's me, Marenia."
Torina and Michaela are two souls in one body, and to some extent, they can be considered as Malenia's biological sisters.
Feeling the gentle caress, Marenia's voice trembled: "Brother, he...he didn't come?"
"Micaela, he abandoned all the bodies, me, and the sacred tree, all the red tape."
Torina caressed her pitiful and pathetic sister's face lovingly and sighed softly:
"I'm sorry, but you're also subject to 'red tape', Marenia."
Sister Torina was right in front of her, but her brother was not there. Marennia knew that Sister Torina would never lie to her...but her brother really abandoned her.
Her body trembled slightly. Even though she was seriously injured and had been corroded by scarlet corruption for a thousand years, the Valkyrie never lowered her head.
But now, she let out a sad sob.
Torina gently stroked Marennia's hair, just like an older sister comforting her crying sister:
"I was abandoned by Michaela in the deepest part of an underground valley where no one could find me. The only fate that was waiting for me was to die of exhaustion.
But like Lady Millicent, I was very lucky to meet Lady Heather, who collected all the bodies abandoned by Michaela and made a brand new body for me that belonged only to me, and also gave me the blessing of dreams.
I have the power to become a god and establish laws. All of this is a gift from Lord Heather.
I'm sorry, Marenia... I couldn't stop Michaela from abandoning you."
Marenia's breathing became heavy, as if she had reached the last moment of her life. She summoned up her last bit of strength and asked with difficulty:
"Brother... found a new King of Promise?"
"Yes. Latan betrayed Michaela's wishful thinking and had no way to save his sister who was entangled in corruption for the rest of her life. In addition, everything in the Borderland and Shadowland did not go as he expected.
So, in his madness, he decided to take that dangerous step.”
Torina looked down at Marlenya, whose face was covered in blood and whose breath was weak, and said softly:
“I can’t save you, Marenya.
In the end, at least let me give you a sweet and peaceful death like a dream, okay?"
Marlenya, who was held in Torina's arms, was silent for two seconds, then nodded slightly with an almost imperceptible arc.
Torina stroked Marenia's hair and whispered a lullaby in her sister's ear in a voice that no one could hear.
Gradually, Malenia's body, which was stiff with pain, began to relax, and the Valkyrie, whose face was covered in blood and corrosion that took up most of half of her face, fell into an eternal sleep.
At least at the last moment, her face was no longer filled with the hideous pain of being betrayed, but a peaceful smile as she slept peacefully in her sister's arms.
Torina held Marenia's upper body in her arms, rocking it gently like a baby cradle. After a long while, she put her sister's upper body back into the pool of blood. She stood up with blood all over her body, turned to look at Millicent, lifted her skirt with both hands, and saluted like a lady:
“Greetings again, Lady Millicent.
I am Torina, the chosen one appointed by Lord Heather. In the long time to come, I will advance and retreat together with you, and work together to create a beautiful future that belongs to us."
Millicent looked at the girl who she didn't know whether to call "sister" or "aunt", and after hesitating for a few times, she could only touch her chest and perform the swordsman salute:
"Please take good care of me in the days ahead, Torina."
