Fallen Chronicles-Chapter 373 : The Spirits of the Old Days

As Renji's strike hit Lilith's tentacles.

A massive eruption of Miasma burst from the Elven Sanctum, making the entire forest seem as if it were swept by a fierce wind. A blood-red glow shot up into the sky, even covering the strange phenomena caused by mythical creatures from beyond this world at that moment.

However, the Miasma didn't bring contamination but was instead contained within the Sanctum established next to the World Tree.

Many races within the forest now cast their devout and hopeful gazes towards the direction of the brilliantly glowing Sanctum because, according to prophecy, what should follow is...

The Spirits of the Old Days, returning to the Sanctum.

At this moment, within the Elven Sanctum, Lilith floated high above the center of the Sanctum, and below her, where the Sanctum's underground was previously, was exactly where the Old Alliance she founded resided.

Now, as Lilith's power surged, the influence of the Mother of Miasma on her surroundings became evident.

The hall of the Old Alliance was quickly overrun by indescribable Miasma and blood-red vines, eventually transforming into a massive Miasma nest.

This scene was something Renji had seen in the game.

It was like a miniature version of the Miasma Abyss during the final battle.

The Miasma Abyss, similar to the World Tree, is considered a world structure and part of the domain of the Miasma Mother. With the Miasma Abyss, many other things could be accomplished.

Like now.

The tentacles behind Lilith began to flash red light, and the Spirits of the Old Days' Eclipse that Lilith had collected, under her urging, started to rush crazily towards the Miasma Abyss below.

Their temporary bodies were reconstituted within the Miasma Abyss, and the Spirits of the Old Days were awakened from centuries of slumber. Under the domain of Lilith, their consciousness matched with the Miasma bodies, reincarnating into this world.

One by one, figures emerged from the abyss and walked into the grand hall.

Among them were humans, demi-humans, and even unique races like mechanical and forest kinds.

Many of them appeared slightly confused, as if they had been woken up from a long sleep.

After sharing her memories with them, Lilith finally cleared the confusion of these Spirits of the Old Days. They fully regained their senses and understood the current situation.

" Lord Ashen?"

"Am I seeing things, or where is Lord Ashen's cloak?"

"Good heavens... Good heavens! In my lifetime, I can actually see Lord Ashen take off his cloak!"

"You idiot, we're already dead, we were dead to begin with!"

"Right, haha, now I can truly die without regrets!"

"Behaving so frivolously in front of Lord Ashen, what kind of behavior is this? Stand up straight and be serious!"

"Heh, Teacher Piru is still as old-fashioned as ever, even after death."

"It's really nice to see His Majesty again."

The two to three hundred Spirits of the Old Days, now summoned, gathered together in the sanctum. Initially, Renji was a bit worried they might react adversely to Lilith, the Mother of Miasma they had bled to defeat.

Unexpectedly, everyone's focus turned out to be...on me taking off my cloak?

"…"

Alright then

When the crowd of excited contractees surrounded Renji, Lilith, who was supposed to be intimidating and fearsome, ended up being just a backdrop.

"Lord Ashen, who has better control effects, me or Bianca?"

"Quick, Gluck, take this opportunity. I must compare with you in front of Lord Ashen who is on duty!"

"Stupid Vanguard, embarrassing us in front of Lord Ashen."

"Both of you shut up. If it weren't for us, the Vanguard class, taking the hits in front, what use would you weaklings be, right, My Lord?"

"Hehe, you still don't understand. Strength is temporary, beauty is forever."

"Is that why, after participating in only two battles, Lord Ashen threw you to the back lines?"

"Hmph! If Lord Ashen were a woman, I would surely be greatly valued!"

"Pwahahahaha, Keep dreaming"

The contractees from the game, now chattering away around Renji, couldn't hide their joy at seeing their Emperor again, their excitement bubbling over.

Renji tried to talk to each of them, forgetting some of their names, but as they mentioned past experiences, he could still recognize them.

It wasn't until later, when Karl who had once served as a "strategist," stepped forward to take control of the situation, that Renji was finally relieved from the encirclement.

Although the contractees were somewhat reluctant to part, they quickly returned to their senses, understanding the reason Renji had summoned them and their objectives.

Facing the upcoming attack from the "Source," Nova, Thia, Zero, and others couldn't stay by his side anymore; they needed to return to their own countries to defend their territories.

The more than two hundred Spirits of the Old Days, according to the original imperial organization, were also distributed to different countries, significantly boosting their defensive capabilities.

In seeing the new world five hundred years later, there were inevitably some episodes.

For example, the demi-human Spirits of the Old Days from the Dragon Nation, like Karl and others, after learning about the slavery situation in the Dragon Nation, furiously reprimanded the officials there.

Some officials tried to argue that it was Nova's decision, which only made them get scolded even worse, nearly being chased down by fervent fans of the Empress.

Then, the mechanical Spirits of the Old Days, upon returning to the Mechanical Alliance and learning about the stories between the mechanical servants and Ashen, eagerly requested data from the likes of 86 and others, especially regarding some not-so-healthy data. Even if the links were marked as "This link contains risks," they still insisted on "continuing to access."

The Spirits of the Old Days from the Holy Kingdom and Sin City were relatively harmonious.

The former, under Suthia, possessed qualities as gentle and kind as nuns, were satisfied with the current state of the Holy Kingdom and the church, and wanted to continue redeeming others.

The latter, Lena's sorcerer's subordinates, also liked the independent city setting of Sin City as the "center and lighthouse of the world," worthy of their Princess Lena, the strongest sorcerer.

As for Lena's disappearance, they weren't too concerned. After all, being part of the special abilities class, they were the most mysterious and wise thinking that Lena must have her plans, and ultimately, the special abilities sector will prevail.

The previously lively sanctum, with the departure of the Spirits of the Old Days and Suthia among others, was left with only Renji and Lilith.

The current Miasma Mother Lilith, felt a bit dejected and depressed because the children she considered hers didn't interact much with her, which saddened her and made her incredibly envious of Renji.

In the end.

Soldier to soldier, king to king.

Renji was also about to meet the "Source Master," an entity that even Lena couldn't contend with, to see what kind of existence it really was.
