Chapter 513 : An Embrace Spanning Years

"Ah!!"

The guard in front of Zervanie was pounced on and pinned to the ground by several charging magical beasts, which tore at the guard's body.

A dozen or so Shadow Blade Wolves in the vicinity took this opportunity to quickly bypass the defensive line formed by the crowd, rushing towards Zervanie at an extremely fast speed.

Zervanie was currently closing her eyes, concentrating on releasing her divine art, completely unaware of the situation on the field.

"Quick, protect Lady Zervanie!"

The guards and church members panicked in an instant. They had been able to hold on until now entirely because of Zervanie's divine art constantly healing their wounds.

But the Shadow Blade Wolves were simply too fast; they couldn't catch up on foot.

The magical beasts were about to reach Zervanie in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

A sigil attack fell from the sky, directly knocking over the few magical beasts closest to Zervanie.

Immediately after, dozens of sigil attacks continuously bombarded the area in front of Zervanie, sending both the magical beasts and the rushing guards flying.

Felyn had desperately activated several sigils in an instant.

He barely looked at the type of sigil in his hand, pulling them out of his pocket and releasing them towards the area in front of Zervanie.

But even under Felyn's saturation attack, one magical beast still broke through the sigil's assault and lunged with all its might towards Zervanie.

At this distance, Felyn couldn't use a sigil, because the sigil's attack would also injure Zervanie.

"Zervanie!"

Felyn reached out towards Zervanie, running towards her with all his might.

Her sky-blue eyes finally opened at this moment, reflecting Felyn's tense expression.

The massive Shadow Blade Wolf leaped into the air, its claws almost touching Zervanie's silvery-white long hair.

In that instant, Felyn suddenly felt as if his body was no longer his own, and his heartbeat stopped.

His legs, which had been desperately running towards Zervanie, froze in mid-air. His fingers could never touch Zervanie's body.

Like Viloti, Zervanie had also, from some unknown point in time, walked into Felyn's life.

She would seize every spare moment to come to Felyn's side.

The young girl's companionship in Homhote, her steadfastness in the dungeon, her confession in the lounge, the weight of the girl in his arms during the Crystal Rock Beast crisis.

Felyn had completely lost the ability to think in this instant.

He couldn't imagine the scene of Zervanie falling in front of him.

He couldn't accept this fact.

But time had to flow on.

His leg, suspended in the air, slowly landed on the ground. The dust kicked up faster and faster.

Sounds gradually returned to his ears. The screams and shouts from all around gradually reached Felyn's mind.

His outstretched hand also got closer and closer to the silvery-white-haired Zervanie, but a Shadow Blade Wolf was ultimately between them.

And at this very moment, a dazzling light flashed from beneath the Shadow Blade Wolf, reflecting in Felyn's eyes.

Sigil patterns began to appear around Zervanie, and a wind blade appeared above her.

The Shadow Blade Wolf, having jumped into the air, had absolutely no room to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the suddenly appearing wind blade.

As the Shadow Blade Wolf blocking Zervanie fell to the ground, Felyn could finally see Zervanie's expression.

She held a sigil in her hand, not too flustered.

At the last critical moment, the songstress had taken out a sigil herself, instantly casting a sigil attack, and saved herself.

The Shadow Blade Wolf roared unwillingly on the ground. Just as it was about to struggle up, four sigil attacks fell from the sky, directly blasting it into dust.

Zervanie was just about to turn around and tell everyone she was fine, but in the next second, a dark shadow appeared in front of her.

"Eh?"

Zervanie blinked, not having reacted yet.

She took two steps back under the force of the impact, her silvery-white long hair slowly settling down.

When she came to her senses, her cheeks began to flush, and her breathing almost stopped.

Felyn had run over and thrown himself at Zervanie, holding her tightly in his arms.

"Felyn?"

Zervanie softly called Felyn's name, feeling his heart beating violently at this moment.

"You scared me to death. I thought you were going to die." Felyn smelled the green apple scent on Zervanie and let out a long sigh of relief.

"A-are you worried about me?" Zervanie's voice trembled. When this scene happened right in front of her, she couldn't even believe it.

In the past, she had fantasized about this too many times, fantasized that Felyn would hold her in his arms, fantasized that Felyn would care about her.

And now, Felyn was in her arms, his breath tangibly brushing against her neck.

So warm...

Zervanie's hands, which she hadn't dared to put around Felyn, slowly landed on his back.

She gently rubbed her forehead against Felyn's neck, letting out a happy whimper from her throat.

"Yeah, Zervanie. If you died, who would I bully? And without your signed photos, my income would plummet."

Zervanie chuckled. The vibration of Felyn's chest as he spoke tickled her.

Is this what it feels like to be embraced?

If possible, Zervanie really wished time could stand still at this moment.

But that wasn't possible right now.

"Felyn..." Zervanie reluctantly left Felyn's embrace, her flushed cheeks appearing in Felyn's vision.

She put her hands behind her back, stood on her tiptoes, and turned away in embarrassment.

"L-let's go save Viloti first..." She brushed her hair with her hand, not indulging in her happiness.

Zervanie took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mentality, and continued to face the enemies in Varil Village.

But this time, she subconsciously leaned closer to Felyn.

The sky-blue divine art domain, after a brief disappearance, unfolded once again.

Everyone in Varil Village breathed a sigh of relief and turned to throw themselves back into the battle.

Felyn didn't leave Zervanie's side at this moment. His hand rested on her shoulder.

"Zervanie, there's something I want to tell you."

"Eh? Now?" Zervanie was stunned for a moment, blinking rapidly and biting her lip, her heart pounding.

Is Felyn going to... confess to me?

The two spoke almost at the same time.

"Actually, my divine art is the ability to copy others..."

"I'm willing!"

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a dead silence.

"Eh?!!"

Zervanie wished she could drill into the ground right now. She stomped her foot, whimpered, and turned her head to the side, too shy to look Felyn in the eye.

"Didn't you always say that I told Viloti the secret of my divine art but not you?" Felyn also felt a little awkward. He scratched his face, smiled at Zervanie, and began to explain his divine art's ability to her.

"Is it the ability to copy divine arts?" After hearing Felyn's explanation, Zervanie found it a bit incredible.

He can even copy divine arts?

"Then do you and that evil woman attacking the village actually have the same ability?"

"I'm not too sure if her ability is summoning or replication. If it's replication, then our abilities are indeed quite similar..."

Speaking of which, Felyn suddenly thought of what Daiyi had instructed him to do.

She had told him to find a high-tier, pure magical beast crystal core to power the sigil armguard.

If the magical beast girl attacking Varil Village had the same power as him, then wouldn't her crystal core be the best option?

It might even provide an additional effect for his divine art.
