Am I willing?
Am I willing?
Elena was trembling, clenching her fists, and her voice was choked with sobs!
"You ask me if I am willing? You ask me if I am willing..."
"——How could I be willing to do so!"
"I want to live, but I also want to live well!!"
"Every day I am full of hope for the future! Every day I have to helplessly welcome all kinds of good and bad things to happen! Every day I have to solve all kinds of headaches, but as long as I think about it, it is all for my own future. If you work hard, you can't help but be full of energy again!"
"Whether you cry or laugh, your life will continue to change because of your decisions. Even if you are not satisfied at the end, you will still live up to your life, because this is the path you have traveled through hard work and struggle. !”
"I am unwilling! I am so unwilling! I am so unwilling to see the end of the future at a glance! I am so unwilling to be like a walking zombie from now on, just hanging on for the sake of living!"
"But!
"But……"
"I...can't do anything..."
"——I can't defeat Him!"
Elena vented hoarsely!
"What can I do?"
"What can I do!!"
The Dread Lord smiled softly and said softly.
"No! You can do this, Elena."
"I can't, I can't!" Elena shook her head violently.
"I have seen too many lives that are afraid of the difficulties in front of them, but once they get through it, when they look back, they find that those things that were huge to them in the past are nothing." The Dread Demon King continued to smile.
"No! You don't know anything at all! You don't even know what difficulties I have to face!"
"Then tell me."
"I told you, but we still lost! And we have lost twice!"
"Then do it a third time!"
"What if we still lose!"
The Dread Lord pondered, and after a moment, he made a decision.
"Then, I will definitely protect you from behind! Even if I die, I will definitely stand in front of you and die first!"
He said, picking up the [Crown of Fear] beside the bed and putting it firmly on her head.
Elena was horrified. She actually put on this [Crown of Fear] with unknown materials and unknown effects without any precautions. Even the system prompted to wear it with caution!
However, she looked at the Dread Lord and saw that he only had a sincere face.
"This [Crown of Fear] is made of my heart."
Elena's bloody pupils shrank: "...What did you say?!"
"I said, it's made of my heart."
The Fear Lord smiled gently: "Actually, strictly speaking, I have no heart. But I do have the ability to be reborn in fear after falling."
"This ability makes me immortal, like an eternal beating heart."
"Now, I condense this heart and give it to you."
"It will completely hand over to you my immortality and my ability to be reborn in fear."
"I don't know what you like? But I know what you want most is to live. So I thought maybe you would like this gift."
Elena's lips and teeth trembled, and she burst into tears.
It turns out that the unknown material of [Crown of Fear] is the heart of the Fear Lord!
It turns out that the big weirdness hidden in [Crown of Fear] is rebirth with fear!
Elena could only choke and choke...it was difficult to speak.
"It's just that being reborn in fear is a real rebirth. Maybe it will take a hundred years, maybe a thousand years. And after you are reborn, you will completely transform into a body of fear, and you will no longer be a human being."
"And by then you will lose all your original memories, and even your personality will change due to the power of fear."
"I don't know if you would be willing to be reborn as you now."
Become...no longer yourself?
It turns out that this is the reason why the [Crown of Fear] was prompted by the system to wear it with caution!
In fact, to be precise, the effect of the Crown of Fear cannot be regarded as rebirth. It seems more appropriate to call it "reincarnation".
After all, I feel that there is nothing the same between myself after rebirth and myself now. It's like forgetting everything about the previous life and being reincarnated.
However, Elena was still moved.
"...Give me your heart, what will you do?"
"If you die...don't you really die?!"
"Jie Jie Jie!" The Dread Demon King smiled proudly, "I am the most powerful demon king. It is very rare to meet someone who can kill me."
Tears flowed from the corners of Elena's trembling mouth and kept dripping from her chin.
"Why...why...why...why do you do this..."
The Dread Lord raised a brow.
"Why?"
"In fact, I don't know very well..."
He thought carefully.
"When carving [Heart of Fear], every knife will make me feel a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than the curse, but as long as I think that maybe you will smile happily when you wear it, the knife will be far away The pain that was a thousand times greater than the curse was just endured."
"Is it to make you feel happy and suppress the curse for me?"
"It's because I just said that even if you are about to die, I will stand in front of you and die first. If you don't take some practical actions, you won't think that I am just joking, right?"
"Uh...it seems like none of them, none of them..."
Suddenly, the Dread Lord's eyes brightened up, and then his bright gaze struck Elena, as hot as the sun.
"I know! I know!"
"Elena!"
"because--"
"You are my light!"
The mottled tree shadows quickly became chaotic on Elena's shocked cheeks...
The entire sacred tree swayed with excitement at the moment when the tree spirit's thoughts came to light. The unknown strong wind blew the entire holy tree, making the leaves from the ground to the sky rustle!
"Yes Yes."
The Fear Lord stretched out his palm to Elena and said.
"It's like walking in the endless darkness, experiencing an eternity, and finally seeing a ray of light in the endless darkness!"
"Before I met you, the boundless curse made me feel that there was no difference between living and dead. It was you, Elena, and your appearance that finally made me feel that I am alive!"
"So, Elena, stand up!"
"Now that I have given you a chance to be reborn, you should no longer be afraid of challenges!"
"So, Elena, hold my hand!"
"I won't allow you to be discouraged!"
"I won't allow you to despair!"
"I will fight with you again!"
"Just because you are my light! I will never allow the light in my heart to go out!!"
