EPISODE 345 – THE LAST FAIRIES (2)

The Water Fairy Queen was an exemplary fairy queen.

In other words, she was kind, cute, good-natured, and innocent like a child.

“May the protection of water be with you.”

In human age, she would be around 13 to 14 years old.

When the Water Fairy Queen, who was similar in age to Kirara, smiled broadly with a chocolate-filled face, the blue Water Protection covered Jude and Cordelia.

The eighth and the last.

The blue water droplets that wrapped around the two spun around and were sucked into the Fairy’s Bonds on their arms.

And it was at that moment.

“Ooooh?!”

“The bracelets are glowing!”“How pretty!”

The Fairy’s Bonds began to shine with colorful light.

Hearing the cheers and urgings of the fairies, Jude and Cordelia raised their arms, and at that moment, eight spheres of light were emitted from the Fairy’s Bonds.

“It’s uniting!”

“Light!”

“A crest is being made!”

The commentaries of the fairies were true.

There were four lights and another four lights.

As it spun together, beautiful crests made of light appeared in the air.

Spring, summer, fall, and winter.

The Great Protection of the Four Seasons that was created by combining the protections of the four different seasons into one.

Earth, fire, wind, and water.

The Great Protection of the Four Elements that was created by combining the protections of the four elements into one.

The two also became one.

As soon as the two different crests overlapped, a completely new crest appeared.

It was the beautiful and radiant glory of the fairies.

The symbol of the Fairy King was surrounded by eight lights.

Eight lights covered the night sky.

Light gently shined down like an aurora and broke the boundary between heaven and earth.

“Wow.”

The fairies brightly smiled and purely admired it while the Water Fairy Queen covered her blushing cheeks in her pure joy.

The wind blew.

It was a gentle breeze.

There was the heat of the desert, the coolness of the valley, the coldness of the polar region, and the salty smell of the sea.

It swept beautifully and opened a road to the night sky.

At the end of the road, a magnificent door opened and a being came out.

The one and only male born from the fairy race made up of only females.

The Fairy King had golden hair and wings, and skin like white porcelain.

When he appeared covered with a halo, the fairies let out exclamations at once. Their cheering shouts sounded like screams.

“Kya!”

“It’s the king!”

“I like you!”

In fact, it was the first time everyone had seen him.

But they could not calm the fluttering of their hearts.

And it was the same for the Water Fairy Queen.

The Water Fairy Queen tightly clasped her hands and stared at the Fairy King who wiped the chocolate off the Fairy Queen’s lips with his hand. He lightly sucked the chocolate on his thumb and greeted her with a wink.

“Aaah…”

The Water Fairy Queen then fainted.

The Fairy King gently caught the Fairy Queen’s waist and laid her down, and the Fairy Knight, the queen’s guard and the only combat force of the Water Fairies, looked after the queen before glancing at the Fairy King.

There were pink hearts in her eyes.

“Ah… They really are like fairies.”

When Cordelia said with a smile, Jude quietly smiled and agreed.

In the past, Jude would have been mesmerized by these spectacle, but now that he had experienced all kinds of situations, he could quite tolerate it.

‘Did I develop a resistance?’

While Jude grinned, the Fairy King flapped his wings and flew into the sky. The fairies that came following out of the door sprinkled rose petals from behind the Fairy King.

“The rose petals are too big.”

Because each petal was the size of a fairy’s head.

[Let’s move on.]

Cordelia nodded at Jude’s message, and the Fairy King finally stood before Jude and Cordelia.

“To those who have gathered all the protections of the four seasons and the four elements. My name is Oberon. As you can see, I am the one and only Fairy King.”

Jude and Cordelia also respectfully gave their greetings at his fairly polite greeting.

“I am Count Jude August Bayer of the Sälen Kingdom.”

“Likewise, I am Countess Cordelia August Chase of the Sälen Kingdom.”

Oberon’s face brightened as the two gracefully greeted him. He seemed to be a bit impressed.

“You know how to be polite. It’s really nice to meet you. It’s been almost a thousand years since the Fairy King’s Protection appeared in this world, and I am glad that you are the recipients of this protection.”

Oberon softly spoke again and caused a wind to the fallen rose petals that his attendant fairies had sprinkled.

The petals that had fallen to the ground then rose up again and decorated the surroundings beautifully.

“I’ve been watching your entire journey. I am the Fairy King. I am the older brother and younger brother, the lover and friend of all the Fairy Queens. I was able to watch you through the eyes and ears of the Fairy Queens.”

Having said that, Oberon smiled again and said while looking at Cordelia.

“What you said to the Wild Fairy Queen was very impressive.”

She had said that there would be no threat to the bridge now if there was no bridge anymore.

Cordelia flinched and blushed while Jude held her hand and glanced at Oberon.

Jude was fine if it was him who teased Cordelia, but could not accept others teasing her.

But he was mistaken.

Oberon was sincere.

“I think it’s a really amazing idea. Sometimes we need to think the other way around. It decreases unhappiness and increases happiness.”

What kind of nonsense is this?

Anyway, Jude relaxed his expression since he seemed to be praising Cordelia, and Cordelia awkwardly smiled.

“Moving on, I’ve been watching you, so I’m well aware of your situation. Although us fairies live by shutting ourselves away from this world… we are still beings of Pleiades. We cannot delay too much the journey of you two at the critical moment of this world.”

Oberon straightforwardly spoke and turned to Jude.

“This is not the first time we have met. It’s the first time I’m giving you the Fairy King’s Protection, but not the first time we have met.”

Past lives.

Jude also remembered it.

One of the few past lives he had where he was together with Cordelia.

“We meet again. That’s a relief. But I hope this will be our last meeting.”

Oberon spoke with a sad expression before changing it again.

With a big smile, he spread his arms and immediately used his power to complete the Fairy King’s Protection.

“May the power of the four seasons and four elements be always with you two.”

The radiantly shining crest of the Fairy King went into the chests of Jude and Cordelia, and was swiftly sucked into their hearts.

They felt nothing at first.

But Jude and Cordelia soon felt a marked change.

The Fairy King’s Protection was not just a protection.

It became one with the possessor.

It attached to the soul and reconstructed the body.

The power of the four seasons and four elements resided in Jude’s body itself.

Cordelia’s body, which had already experienced a kind of transformation by turning into an angel, once again faced a change.

Something more beautiful, stronger, and more divine.

The sun goddess’ halo reacted.

The Dragon Heart of the Ancient Dragon also underwent a change.

“AAAAH!”

Cordelia hugged herself as she let out a dazzling golden light.

The Dragon Heart replaced the heart of Cordelia, and the number of light wings increased due to the sun goddess’ halo.

It did not happen easily.

The Dragon Heart that Cordelia had was incomplete.

However, there was the crest of the Golden Dragon King.

The mighty dragon’s power made up for the incomplete parts of the Dragon Heart.

“AAAAH…”

Her angel rank also moved towards a higher rank.

The divine light covered the surrounding area at once before vanishing.

And there stood Cordelia.

She was standing in the place where the light vanished.

Cordelia’s white and beautiful body was covered by her pink hair and six wings of light.

The halo which contained the divine power of the sun goddess also radiated an intense light.

A Seraph.

One rank below an archangel.

A heavenly being equal to the Demon Prince of Hell.

It was not perfect though.

Solari who was at the top of the angel family tree was already dead, so her power was inferior to that of a true Seraph or a Demon Prince.

But even so, she was a Seraph.

In Solari’s family tree, there was no one with a higher divinity than Cordelia, and the Dragon Heart and Fairy King’s Protection gave Cordelia transcendental power.

“Wow…”

The fairies looked at Cordelia with red faces.

They even lost the strength to shout and cheer at her very beautiful appearance. They just gazed at her in admiration.

Cordelia slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jude.

Jude also changed.

Jude’s body, which had already opened the eighth door of the Ninth Heaven’s Nine Doors and entered the border of being a transcendental, had straight up became that of a superhuman who obtained the Fairy King’s Protection.

Sword Origin completely became one with Jude.

The Fairy King’s crest shone on the back of Jude’s right hand, and the Golden Dragon King’s crest shone on the back of his left hand.

A body with a perfect built.

He was not as big and bulky as Landius.

But Jude could sense it.

When it came to physical abilities, he was not behind Landius.

The other Judes in his previous lives never obtained a body like the one he had now.

He was literally a superhuman.

The possessor of a soul and body that was comparable to a Seraph or a Demon Prince.

Jude and Cordelia looked at each other and smiled at the same time. They gazed at each other with lightly blushing cheeks.

[My successor, you know that now is not the time for this, right?]

Jude had a bitter smile at Valencia’s whisper.

Fortunately, as the sword spirit of Sword Origin, she was able to keep her place in Jude’s soul.

Jude grinned and looked at Oberon who laughed and moved his fingers.

“I think this will suit you two.”

A black formal attire wrapped around Jude’s body.

A white dress covered Cordelia’s body and increased her beauty.

The Fairy King’s Suit and the Fairy Queen’s Dress.

The so-called final king-rank items among all the treasures of the fairies.

But Oberon did not stop there.

He moved his fingers several more times for the guardians who would protect Pleiades.

A new ring was added to Cordelia’s finger.

A new gem was added to the chest part of her dress, and a thin and sparkly silver chain wrapped around Cordelia’s waist.

The Fairy King’s Ring, the Blessing of the Green Goddess made by processing the tears that a goddess of another world shed, and the Night Sky’s Chains made by melting the moonlight.

Each one was a great treasure that was equivalent to or higher than that of Awakening Myth-rank dragon equipment.

Cordelia had a wide smile at the given additional items, and Jude also had a pleasant smile.

However, the two soon could not help but make strange expressions.

“That, King Oberon.”

“Yes, Jude.”

“I… don’t have anything?”

Because all the new items were only given to Cordelia.

Oberon answered Jude with a face that seemed to say ‘Isn’t that natural?’

“Isn’t it a natural that a beautiful woman is much better than a handsome man?”

I recall the Fall Fairy Queen saying something similar.

Oberon played innocent, and Jude shut his mouth, unable to say anything.

But fortunately, Cordelia was there.

“King Oberon, please don’t do that. Please give some to Jude. Please? We have to protect the world. Please?”

Oberon flinched at her consecutive ‘please?’ attacks.

Because he was seriously charmed by the determined Cordelia’s cutesy act.

Pressing his chest first to calm down his heart that started pounding, Oberon spoke with a bitter smile.

“Huu… That’s really bad for my body. Jude, you have a really good fiancée.”

“Yes, I am proud of her. She’s my luck, my life, my-”

“Okay, let’s stop there.”

Oberon cut his words that seemed to have no end, and laughed in amusement as Cordelia giggled.

“Jude, I was going to give you the Fairy King’s Sword… but I don’t think you need that sword anymore. So I’ll give you this.”

As Oberon snapped his fingers, a green necklace was hung around Jude’s neck.

“It will surely block any attack at least once. But it is only once, so please think carefully before using it. Ah, wait. Are you going to take it off now and give it to Lady Cordelia?”

When Oberon asked in surprise, Jude nodded and replied.

“Yes, because Cordelia is precious to me.”

It’s an item that can unconditionally block an enemy’s attack once.

If I don’t give this to Cordelia, who will I give it to?

Cordelia reddened at Jude’s bold assertion, but the corners of her lips twitched while Oberon sighed.

“Seriously… haa… seriously.”

And when he flicked his fingers again, a green necklace appeared on Cordelia’s neck.

“This is my necklace. You two will need it more than me who isn’t on the battlefield.”

It was Oberon’s own necklace and not a spare.

So Cordelia spoke with a very moved face.

“King Oberon, thank you very much.”

“Because a beauty is a treasure of the world.”

Oberon mischievously smiled before flapping his wings once and changed to a serious expression.

“I think it’s time to say goodbye. Jude, Cordelia. Guardians of Pleiades. I wish you two good luck and good health. May the blessings and protections of all the fairies be with the two of you.”

Oberon gracefully bowed in greeting, and the fairies behind him sprinkled rose petals everywhere again.

And light.

Eight colors filled the night sky once again.

Standing under the shining aurora, Fairy King Oberon greeted Jude and Cordelia with a wink for the last time.

He then became one with the night sky and beautiful lights.

***

Lucas drew out the divine sword of Solari, Claíomh Solais.

An ordinary person could never draw that sword, but the divine sword of the sun goddess recognized the descendant of the Holy King.

It unlocked its power for a genuine human hero.

“Claíomh Solais.”

As Lucas raised the white divine sword high, the glory of the morning broke through the night sky and brilliantly lit up the royal capital of the Sälen Kingdom.

“Biltwein.”

He was the ideal hero for Lucas.

Am I a bit like him now?

Lucas shyly smiled and glanced at the women in front of him. Scarlet and Kajsa could not help but smile.

They beamed and gave Lucas a round of applause.

At the same time but in a different place.

A white space with some pink color added.

Landius stared at the control stick with a tense expression on his face.

The eyes of all the five heroes of Paragon were focused on the fingertips of Adelaide, a woman who wore a veil to hide her very beautiful appearance.

They were in the Erotika airship, the flagship and abode of the archangel of love, Eros, which was also the temple of Eros.

A pink light rose from Adelaide’s trembling fingertips. It covered the steering wheel before pink lines soon spread throughout the cockpit.

“It’s moving! It’s moving!”

“It’s running!”

At Fran’s cry, Lena also shouted excitedly, and Landius breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled at Adelaide whose face he could not see because of her veil, but was sure that she was looking at them and smiling.

They still had a long way to go.

In order to properly move Erotika, Landius, Lena, and the rest of Paragon’s heroes had to seriously work hard for a few days.

But this was welcomed if it meant protecting this world.“Let’s go.”

Jude and Cordelia left the eastern part of the empire and headed for the northern part of the empire where Landius and Erotika were.

Lucas and his party also went to Erotika with Claíomh Solais and the dragon equipment in their arms.

Adelia transformed into an angel.

The Sword Saint of Stars, Musu, reappeared.

The empire’s Sword God was guided by the witch and arrived at Erotika.

A few days later.

When there was only a week left until the descent of the archangel.

“March.”

The chancellor’s army finally began to move.
