Chapter 335: The Final Sacrifice



Chapter 335: The Final Sacrifice

LUNA was right to go to the cave that Kalel and Soleil made as their hideout.

Since she was the Moon Priestess, Kalel's little snakes in the cave didn't attack her.

She went as quickly and quietly as possible. When she got to the deepest part of the cave, she found Kalel in shock. He was looking at his hand with a regretful look on his face. Maybe Kyro, the Moon God, had possessed his body again without his knowledge.

[That has to stop if I want my new plan to succeed.]

"Soleil," Kalel whispered to himself while looking at his bloody hands. Ah, it seemed like the lord remembered some painful memories. "No"

[It's not your fault, my lord.]

"Lord Kalel," Luna said while putting down the hood of her red cloak. "I'm here."

Kalel turned around to face her. Recognition instantly crossed his golden eyes. Ah, the lord was currently himself. "How's Soleil?"

"Lady Rosenberg survived," she said. "Lord Winchell gave his heart to her. Since Lord Winchell doesn't need a physical body, he'll live even without a heart."

He closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. "I wasn't able to protect Soleil's heart," he said, then he opened his eyes. "Our plan failed."

Ah, right.

The plan was for Kalel to "surrender" Soleil's heart to Auro Moonchester. Then, once the lord found out why the bastard emperor wanted the heart, he would steal it back and return it to Soleil.

Obviously, his plan failed.

[Lord Kyro probably possessed Lord Kalel.]

Thankfully, she already anticipated that to happen.

"I stole Lady Rosenberg's heart, my lord."

He looked surprised and in disbelief by what she just said. "What do you mean by that?"

"For some reason, Aku gave Soleil's heart to Lord Ripperton," she reported to him.

She didn't mention about the human doll that looked exactly like Soleil.

If she did, Kalel would definitely lose his mind and attack the Blue Dragon. He wasn't in a stable condition and she didn't want him to lose focus. Moreover, she didn't want the enemies to know that she found the dead body of an unknown god.

[It's dangerous to tell Lord Kalel about such things until I do something to make sure that Lord Kyro won't be able to possess him again even if it's just temporary.]

"The Blue Dragon?" Kalel asked in surprise, distracting her from her thoughts.

She nodded as confirmation. "I stole it from the Blue Dragon using the Holy Scepter. Right now, the heart and the Holy Scepter are in the shrine. But we need to find a better place to hide them, my lord."

The shrine that she mentioned was her "secret base."

It was the only place in the continent that Kyro wouldn't locate despite her connection to him as the only Moon Priestess left in the world. She gave everything that she had to create a space that could never be found by the enemies.

Of course, it came with a great price.

[It's not important right now.]

"Will the heart be alright?" Kalel asked worriedly.

"I protected it with my spell, my lord," she said. She fell silent for a few seconds before she spoke again in a hesitant tone. "Now that Lady Soleil has a new heart, I think we can give her heart to the Moon Serpent."

His eyes widened the lord clearly didn't think about that until she mentioned it.

"But we don't know when you'll be able to conceive the Moon Serpent again," she said in a worried tone. After all, Kalel just ripped out his wife's heart out of her chest in front of the whole Fire Mage clan. Still, she knew that Kalel and Soleil loved each other deeply. "My lord, I think we need a vessel for Lady Rosenberg's heart. My spell can't protect it forever."

Creating the shrine almost drained her Mana and her life force after all.

Kalel looked at her with a knowing look on his face. "It sounds like you already have a plan."

"A second child," she said hesitantly. Then, she took a deep breath before she spoke with more confidence. This was their last chance to set things right again. And she didn't much have time left so she needed to help her masters as much as she could. "You and Lady Soleil need a second child to be the heart's vessel, my lord."

She knew that she sounded like the poor second child's purpose was only to become a vessel. To be honest, that wasn't a proper reason to give birth to a child. But she wasn't that worried about that.

Soleil and Kalel were both good people.

[I'm sure they will be kind and loving to ther second child."

"I need to talk to Soleil and confess everything to her first," Kalel said, then he let out a deep sigh. "Winchell and their clan will definitely stop me from getting near her though."

"I will take care of that, my lord," Luna said with clenched hands. "I will make sure that Lord Winchell will let you talk to Soleil."

***

"LUNA, is that the only way to protect my heart?" Soleil, seated on the bed while leaning against the headboard, asked Luna who was now kneeling before her. "Can't we simply take Brother Wixx's heart out of my chest, then replace it with my own heart?"

"I wish it's that simple, Soleil," Luna, who was still on her knees, said. Then, she raised her head to meet her gaze. "Unfortunately, I made a mistake. When I hid your heart inside the shape-shifting Holy Scepter, I didn't expect it to merge with your heart."

"The Holy Scepter merged with my heart?"

"Yes, and the scepter refuses to let go of your heart, my lady," the Moon Priestess said. "The Holy Scepter is a holy weapon that feeds on divine energies. That's exactly the reason why only the saints could wield it for long."

"I see," she said while nodding her head. "Since I'm a human with a soul that resemble that of a god's, my heart is protected by infinite divine energy."

The priestess nodded in agreement. "Thus, the Holy Scepter treats your heart as an unlimited source of "food.""

"Then, how would a second child of mine be used as a vessel?" she asked carefully. After all, giving birth to a child for that purpose was cruel. But still, she wanted to understand Luna's plan. The Moon Priestess wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't needed. Despite losing the war, she wanted to have her revenge on Auro Moonchester after her brother's heart revived her. "If the second child would come from me and Kalel, then wouldn't the child be filled with more divine energy?"

"Exactly, my lady," Luna said seriously. "We need a child filled with divine energy. If the Holy Scepter absorbs that amount of divine energy, it might "explode." Of course, it wouldn't hurt your heart since the divine energy that would explode came from it anyway."

She laughed softly. "Asher Forrester would be devastated if he finds out that we're planning to destroy the Holy Scepter to free my heart."

The last time she saw the new young saint was when his older brother, Alec Forrester, died.

But she already knew what kind of person Asher Forrester was. The child was selfish and had a bad attitude. Still, she knew that he was a good person.

[He's also Kalel's one and only godchild.]

"Soleil, I'm sorry."

She was surprised when she heard that from the Moon Priestess. "What are you sorry for, Luna?"

"I know what happened between you and Lord Kalel," Luna said hesitantly. "He ripped your heart out in front of your entire clan. I'm sure you haven't forgiven him yet. But still, I came here and suggested that you should conceive a second child with him." She paused before she smiled sadly. "Why aren't you getting mad at me, Soleil?"

She smiled at her good friend. "I can't be mad at you when I know that you're doing us for all of us, Luna," she said softly. "And I've already forgiven Lord Kalel."

"You've already forgiven him?!"

She laughed again because of Luna's reaction.

Well, she wasn't the first person to have that kind of reaction. After she stopped her brother from hunting down Kalel, she got an earful from him. Even Solaris and Solenn, who were both reserved usually, scolded her.

"I know that it wasn't Kalel who hurt me," she answered seriously. "He was possessed by his father. How can I hate my husband when I know that he's the one suffering the most right now?"

"Soleil, you're so kind that you're starting to look stupid."

She smiled at her friend's brutal honesty. But she appreciated that. And most of all, she knew that she was being stupid.

But still, she couldn't go against her own heart.

"Luna, I want to meet Kalel," Soleil said seriously. "But as you can see, my brother put a spell around my room to prevent me from leaving. In short, I'm locked up here."

"I will talk to Lord Winchell," Luna said, then she stood up and bowed to her. "I will bring Lord Kalel here at all cost."

***

"THE ANSWER is 'no.'"

"I haven't said anything yet, Lord Winchell," Luna said while looking up at Winchell seated on the branch of a huge tree right across Soleil's room. "Why are you already rejecting me?"

"I'm sorry but I eavesdropped on you and Soleil earlier," Winchell said, then he looked down at her with glowing eyes. "Luna, if some other guy told my sister to conceive another child with the man who ripped her heart out literally, I would killed them on the spot."

She wasn't surprised by that.

First, she already knew that Winchell was listening to her conversation with Soleil earlier. After all, she recognized the spell around the lady's room. It was meant as a surveillance kind of spell that would allow the user to hear everything inside the chamber.

"Lord Winchell, I can't back down now," she said, then she smiled bitterly when she felt blood drip from the corner of her mouth. "My final spell has already been activated."

After saying that, she felt dizzy.

Then, the next thing she knew, she was already falling on the ground.

Winchell's eyes widened. Then, he jumped from the tree and catch her in time before she hit the ground. After that, he carried her in his arms. "What did you do?" he asked worriedly. "Why did you life force suddenly drop like that, Luna?"

"I created a safe place for Lord Kalel and Lady Soleil," Luna said weakly. "I used my own life force to conceal it even from the Moon God himself, Lord Winchell."
