Chapter 39 Red and Black, Crime and Punishment (End) (1460)
That was not the answer that Ulysses wanted to know. The more he understood Yuliya's kindness, the more he could not forgive what Lala did to Yuliya. He didn't understand what kind of mood Yuliya was in that time, so that Lala's sword penetrated her body, but there was no doubt that it was a great pain for Yuliya.
Therefore, he had to defeat Lala, and for this he gave up the dream of the priest just to save the tragedy of that time.
"Then, let's end it all." Ulysses raised the abyss in his hand and cut off the sin.
This time it was a real fatal blow, cutting off his past sword.
When this sword falls, the tragedy that began in summer will end, the fate that intertwined between him and Lala will end. He can finally forget everything about her and embark on a new life.
So, goodbye forever, Lala.
The black magic sword fell, which represents the will of the demon king, and even gods in this world cannot stop it.
However, the death of sin in the abyss was ultimately unable to cut off the deadline, and even more unable to swallow Lala's life and soul into it.
What blocks the Demon King's Sword that even God cannot stop is a small wooden sword, which is decorated with a souvenir hanging on the chest.
In this world, God cannot stop Ulysses from severing sin in the abyss, but this sword can be, because it is a sword made by Ulysses himself, the sword belonging to the softest part of Ulysses' heart.
The sword actually has no name, and even its shape is wrong, because it is just a wooden sword made of branches found by Ulysses in the woods outside Mira Village.
The owner of this sword is a girl who has lived a weak and sickly since childhood, but has a strong life, always smiling in front of Ulysses.
Her name is Yuliya.
This is the sword belonging to Yuliya, the sword that Uriss cut for her with his own hands.
Now, the sword flew out of Lala's chest and blocked Ulysses' abyss to the death.
Compared to the Abyss that can kill Gods, this wooden sword is obviously so fragile and thin, as if it can be easily broken by just stretching out its hand.
But this is a sword that Ulysses would never attack. It is a sword that is more special than any holy sword and magic sword.
"Yulia?" Ulysses' body trembled slightly, and he was almost unable to hold the abyss in his hand to kill the sin.
Lala sighed, she knew where the power of the sword came from. In fact, if the sword had not always protected her, she would have died long ago at Ulysses's hands.
That was Yuliya's last guard and her wish for the hero she longed for.
She hopes that she can be happy. She hopes that she can laugh, and walk around the world with her body without illness and pain, and see the scenery she had no chance to see during her lifetime.
Lala did this, in order to restore her strength and to fulfill Yuliya's wishes. In the years after Yuliya's death, she had been traveling on the mainland, almost through all countries, and drew a new map of the world.
Then, the cruel battle began again, and like in the past, she stepped back into the battlefield.
"Why should I protect her? Yuliya." Ulysses could not understand Yuliya's choice. He really felt Yuliya's power in the sword he gave to Yuliya himself. It was something Yuliya placed to Lala. It was also the true form of Yuliya who appeared when he fought with "Yusses".
This wooden sword is the last thing Yuliya left in this world, her last fragment.
But why, this sword was on Lala's body and eventually blocked his declaration of Lala's death penalty.
Tell me, Yuliya, why is this!
The small wooden sword shook slightly, like the disappearing girl's apologies to her brother.
But Ulysses couldn't understand. He didn't understand why Yuliya made such a choice, and he didn't understand why Lala could be protected by Yuliya.
Obviously, she did such an excessive thing to her, and even killed her more than once, right in front of him.
The budding sword cannot make a sound. It is just the last legacy, the last hope and hope left by Yuliya. It is not Yuliya, but the sword that resides in Yuliya's longing.
So, when Ulysses was about to really kill Lala, it blocked the abyss from the death of sin.
This is Yuliya's choice. She does not want to see her brother and Lala kill each other. For her, who has witnessed the first love between her brother and Lala, there is nothing more cruel than this.
"What... is a good child..." Lala's eyes were even more sad than anyone else. She finally realized that she had let down the child's hope and could not truly fulfill her wish.
Then, let go, the battle of her era is here to set a stop.
"Take it away." Lala held the budding sword that Yuliya finally left behind. This was the only sword in her treasure library that was not a projection or her own weapon.
This sword carries the hopes and dreams of the girl, and her blessings for her. Theoretically, as long as the power of the sword is not exhausted, she will not really die, and she can continue to fight with Yuliya's body. Even now entangled by infinite curse power, this small wooden sword is still trying hard to save her and save this body that once belonged to Yuliya.
This is actually a cruel thing for Yuliya's body, but she has no choice.
However, now, she could finally let go and give the sword to the person she should have given to, along with the girl's last hope and dream.
Then, Lala's body began to collapse, turning into black particles after black scattered between heaven and earth. It was the mark left by the black swan that eroded her whole body, and the proof of her death.
Returning to the budding sword in Ulysses's hand, the light emitted a clear light of life. This light dispelled Lala's inherent barrier, turning this blood-colored wasteland into an endless plain, and all traces of battle disappeared, just as Lala had never fought this battle of fate with Ulysses.
Soon, the budding sword that coexists with Lala also began to disappear, because Yuliya's body completely died, and it also lost its meaning of existence.
At the end, it left hope, a confession to Ulysses, and a shiny jade that quietly returned to his body.
This plain is full of light blue flowers. Ulysses once forgot, but finally found it back in the memory that Yuliya's favorite flower during her lifetime.
That was the disappearing flower of her favorite life, the blue flower of love.
