The Villain has Perished



"R…es…store…"

A broken voice left Lumine's lips. 

Triggered by her words, the purple rods disappeared, her heart pieced back while flesh and blood returned to her throat. The injuries healed swiftly – as if they were never there to begin with.

Lumine and the people around her returned to their peak condition. 

Nevertheless, everyone other than her remained unconscious, and the heart-shaped mark on Charlotte hadn't disappeared.

Clap–! Clap–! Clap–!

"You are finally reaching a satisfactory level. It was worth entering this dream world." Qantal snapped his fingers and continued. "Don't forget, everything is possible as long as you believe it."

Snap—!

A massive purple pillar appeared in the sky and fell. It tore through the atmosphere with terrifying speed, its shaft burning due to friction.

Lumine hurriedly touched everyone and focused on a rock on a far mountain. "Swap"

She, along with the ones, disappeared and reappeared where the rock was until a few moments ago while the rock appeared at her previous location.

Boooom!!!

The thunderous impact shook the entire world as the pillar met earth, massive shockwaves uprooted the hills and upturned the ground. Intense heat waves crashed into Lumine and her group, nearly burning their skin.

Before the dust could rise, Qantal – still in human form – swiped her hand, and everything was restored to its condition before the pillar fell. 

With a twisted grin, Qantal ogled at Lumine. "So your charm ability was only a secondary application of your true ability 'Word Magic'. You can turn your words into reality, at least in this world."

Lumine was breathing heavily while blood dripped from her nostrils from over-exerting herself.

Qantal gave Charlotte a side glance.

"But seeing how you can't kill me with a single word or reverse your charm magic your word magic has some limits. Maybe you don't think it's possible and that is holding you back?

Gasp—!

Puffing her cheeks, Qantal pointed her finger at Lumine.

"Didn't I say you need to believe for it to become true? The dream tree won't make your wish come true if there is the slightest doubt even inside your subconscious mind! 

"The dream tree also has limits! You need to have a proper grasp of what you want to accomplish. It isn't possible to heal someone if you don't know how healing works. Even these pillars I create, I can only create them because I can recall their texture, weight, width and everything else in sleep! 

"Simply put, even a dream tree can't fulfill your wish if you don't know the principle behind it!

"However, with your word magic its different. Combining your word magic with Dream Tree you can turn your imagination into reality!"

The cheery smile of Qantal as she spoke sent chills down Lumine's spine.

"Please can you try harder? It's finally getting fun after you learned to use that word magic!"

An intense earthquake shook the earth. Cracks appeared over mountains and hills in the far distance.

Small rocks flew into the air and slowly the mountains started levitating. 

Qantal clapped once.

Every floating piece of rock collided with each other at the center of the sky. The ginormous mass of land transformed, forming a pillar.

It covered the sky. The pillar was large enough to overshadow all corners of lands of the dream world.

Lumine opened her mouth but couldn't find a word.

Would she be able to stop that kind of attack? Even if she did, could she win against the Illusive Dragon King? 

No, she couldn't. 

She was getting tired. To counter the issue she had to believe she wasn't using mana for her attacks.

But it was going against the basic understanding of the world she learned and lived through. No matter what, she couldn't trick her subconsciousness.

The pillar moved when suddenly, a third voice intervened.

"I was wondering who was making a fuss in my backyard. Turns out it's a dragon and an… elf?"

A male elf walked out from the forest hiding the world tree. He was carrying a young girl in his hand, strolling through the destruction as if going on a morning walk.

Despite his casual maneuver, he moved so fast it would seem he was teleporting and stood in front of Lumine.

"Child, can you take care of my daughter while I stop the dragon?"

Lumine gulped.

She stared at the blond child and the male elf, who looked to be in his early 20s, with quivering lips. 

Unconsciously, Lumine retreated and fell.

The elf and the child, she recognized them and the guilt overwhelmed her.

While Lumine couldn't react properly, Qantal didn't stop attacking. 

The Dragon King knew the elf was one of the creations of Lumine's dream world. 

The elf could never defeat Qantal as he was indirectly her creation. 

Suddenly, six spirits appeared around the elf.

A light orb of light.

A ball of darkness.

A blob of water.

A brightly burning flare.

A levitating chunk of land.

A vortex of green wind.

"Stop it." The elf commanded.

The six spheres of light shot towards the sky, swirling around each other, forming a majestic spear.

[ Light Spear (C) + Dark Vortex (C) + Aqua Blaze (C) + Fiery Wall (C) + Earth Fusion (C) + Gale Thunder (C) = Great Elemental Spirit Spear (B-) ]

Boooooommmm!!!

The purple pillar clashed against a behemoth elemental spear. The impact erupted with self-destructing energy shockwaves.

A bright light covered the sky as if the sun had descended.

The elf created a shield to protect Lumine, his daughter, and her companions from the aftermath.

[ Frozen Eden (C+) + Protection of Earth (C+) = Everlasting Eden (C+++) ]

In contrast to the explosions above, a garden flower appeared over the ground. The air freshened, filled with a sweet fragrance. 

All injuries of Lumine were healed and her mind which had been in disarray calmed down.

The previous generation Elf King smiled before facing the Illusive Dragon. 

He had reached peak King rank and was on the doorstep of Emperor rank, already capable of using Quasi-Emperor rank Spirit magic. 

Watching his back, tears threatened to spill from Lumine's back.

He was her father and…

The first victim of her curse.
