"Clorind" threw down the blade in her hand and stood calmly in front of Navia with her arms outstretched.
Navia stared blankly at "Clorind" in front of her.
She inexplicably felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Are you afraid to make a move, or do you hope to kill me in a duel?"
"Just like when I killed your father in a duel?"
"Clorind" smiled, then suddenly raised her sword and stabbed at Navia.
Navia quickly helped "Kares" back a large step.
However, very soon, Clorind's sword was already upon her again.
Left with no other option, Navia could only raise her weapon to parry and counterattack.
After a period of fighting, Clarind's offensive gradually weakened.
Navia seized an opportunity to knock the blade from his hand.
"You've won. Now you can kill me."
"Clorind" closed her eyes, looking as if she were accepting her death calmly.
This made Navia frown even more.
Honestly, did she really have the right or the need to kill Clorind?
The fact that he fought Clorind and was even killed by her was clearly Carles' own choice.
Navia knew very well that if Carles hadn't forced Clorind to kill her, Clorind wouldn't have done it.
Just as Navia was feeling confused, she suddenly realized that someone had grabbed her ankle.
"Father?"
Navia turned around and saw that her previously deceased father, Kares, had opened his eyes again.
He reached out his right hand, tears streaming down his face, and grabbed Navia's ankle.
"Let's do it, Navia!"
"Kill that woman and avenge me!"
"Kares" spoke to Navia in a voice filled with resentment.
"But, but..."
Navia pursed her lips, looking somewhat flustered.
"What are you still hesitating for? You have clearly already defeated her."
"So, you don't actually care whether I live or die?"
"Kares" questioned.
No, I've always cared about you.
Faced with her "father's" denial, Navia quickly shook her head.
"Then why haven't you made a move yet?"
"Kares" continued his aggressive approach and even miraculously stood up.
He grabbed Navia's hand that was gripping the weapon and stretched it toward "Clorind's" neck.
The sharp blade sliced across Clorind's skin, leaving a scarlet mark.
If the blade had moved just one more step forward, it could have left a hole in Clorind's neck.
"Come on, let's get started."
"Just one more step forward."
The voice of "Kares" echoed in Navia's ears, constantly urging her on.
"Yes, kill me. You probably really want to do it."
“Clolind” said.
"No, no."
Seeing the skin on "Clorind's" neck turning increasingly crimson, a sliver of clarity flashed through Navia's dazed mind.
She always felt that if she really laid a hand on the "Navia" in front of her.
You will lose something very important.
"Something's not right. You've always wanted to kill me, haven't you?"
"Clolind" said with a smile.
“No! I didn’t.” Navia shook her head.
“You clearly hate me, don’t you?” Clarinde seduced.
"Or is it that you don't actually love me?" There was a hint of anger in "Kares's" voice.
This was an emotion Navia had never felt from her father before, making her feel quite unfamiliar with it.
Both "Kares" and "Clorind" seemed to be urging Navia to take action.
wrong!
There must be something wrong!
Navia gritted her teeth and dodged to the side, moving slightly away from "Clorind" and "Kares".
"Why are you dodging? Don't you hate me?"
"Clorind" frowned.
Hate?
Navia's mind flashed back to her childhood with Clorind, and to Clorind's hesitation when she faced off against her father, Kares.
Clarinde didn't actually want to kill her father, Kares, so do I really need to hate Clarinde?
"Why are you running away? Don't you want to avenge me?"
"Kares" shouted angrily.
revenge?
But her father, Carles, practically begged Clorind to kill him.
If that's the case, why would the father need someone else to avenge him?
Is it all... just my imagination?
That's right! Everything before our eyes is just an illusion!
Navia fixed her gaze on "Kares" and "Clorind" before her with a sudden, resolute look.
"Not bad eye. Are you finally going to make your move on me?"
"Clorind" laughed mockingly.
"So you finally have the courage to avenge me?"
Kares' tone remained indifferent.
"I will avenge you, Father."
"But I will only take revenge on your true enemies."
Navia said solemnly.
Before "Kares" could respond, Navia looked at "Clorind" again.
“And you are not my enemy, Clarind.”
"I'm sorry for distancing myself from you for so long."
"I just can't accept the fact that my father died at your hands."
"But deep down I've always known that."
"Your father died because of his own choice, not because of yours."
After Navia finished speaking, she stepped forward and hugged "Clorind" in her arms.
"I'm so sorry all this time, Clarinde."
As Navia finished speaking, a weight was lifted from her heart.
At the same time, a faint, warm light enveloped Navia.
Navia unconsciously closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, the dueling arena was gone.
In its place lies a strangely familiar starry sky—a universe where one can pay homage to the star gods!
Unlike the bewilderment in Navia's eyes, Luo Feng, standing somewhere behind her, wore a wide smile.
"It's finally done! Finally, someone will be able to see the Star God."
