“Vivian!”

Antonio’s body trembled as soon as he saw the woman in the picture. He froze on the spot, and then a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

For more than 400 years, the woman he had always missed had appeared in front of him. Four hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

“Human, if you want to drink water from the Spring of Life, you must promise me a promise. You must promise me to protect the Elven Kingdom in the future. Otherwise, I will not give you water from the Spring of Life.”

The girl’s voice rang in his mind. That was the first time he met Vivian. It was a sunny day. He cut his way to the Moon Well. Vivian opened her arms and refused to give in. She looked cute in her determination.

“Antonio, why do you always get hurt so badly every time you go out? Is it really that important to build a new kingdom? Is it not good to live in existing kingdoms? Why don’t you stay in the Elven Kingdom?”

The memories in his mind changed. Antonio lay on a soft grassland. The girl used a handkerchief to wipe his wounds with the water from the Spring of Life. Hot tears mixed with Spring of Life water flowed, and he could not tell if what he felt on his skin was tears or water from the Spring of Life.

Who cried for him for the first time, and who was sad for him?

The memories changed again. At that time, it was time for him and Vivian to part. He stood among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Holy Dragon Kingdom and looked back. Behind him was the direction of the Elven Kingdom. Vivian was shackled. Several elves glared at her in anger.

“Vivian, you traitor of the elves.”

“You used the precious Spring of Life for a human. It’s your fault that the elves were defeated.”

She did not care about those words. Her eyes looked through the sea of people and stopped at Antonio. “Will we meet again?”

“I think… no.” Antonio could not bear the look in his memory. He looked away.

“Antonio, you promised me that if I gave you the Spring of Life, you would protect the Elven Kingdom. If you can’t keep your promise, I want you to promise me that you will come to see me when that time comes.”

The memory came to an abrupt end. The memory of more than 400 years was still alive. Looking at the woman in the picture, Antonio could not help but wet his eyes with tears. He began to move forward.

“Stop.”

The girl rubbed her hands, and the magic picture in her hand disappeared. Antonio recovered from his daze and looked at her with red eyes. “Who are you? What did you do to Vivian?”

“I can’t believe that your feelings for that elf girl have not changed after 400 years. Don’t worry. I haven’t done anything to her yet, but I can’t promise that I won’t do it again! If you want me to let her go, you have to agree to one condition.”

“What condition?”

“The condition is that you have to go to the Moon Well in the Elven Kingdom tomorrow and by yourself.”

“Is it that simple?”

Antonio frowned. When he saw Vivian, he was blinded by his emotions. Then, he felt like something was wrong with the girl’s request. If the girl wanted him, she could have used Vivian’s life to force him to do something, but she only wanted him to go to the Moon Well in the Elven Kingdom one day later. What was so special about that time and place?

Who was the girl in front of him? Why did she do that? The girl’s tone was very similar to the one he knew, but he knew that the person had been dealt with, and the gender did not match.

While he was puzzled, the girl in front of him said, “That’s all I have to say. Remember to go there tomorrow night. Otherwise, the person you love will die.”

“If you dare to touch Vivian, I will never let you go.”

Even though his tone was light, no one would doubt the strength of his words.

“That will depend on your performance. Without further ado, I’m leaving.”

With a chuckle, the girl turned around. A scarlet portal appeared behind her, and she was about to step inside.

At that moment..

Whoosh!

A cold sword aura whistled past, accompanied by a majestic voice. “Commandment.” The sword aura cut the scarlet portal in half, and the girl’s body too.

After the cold sword aura, Sword Saint Reid sat on the huge commandment throne, floating in front of the girl’s body with a solemn expression. The sword aura in his hand had not dissipated yet.

“Antonio, it seems like you are in trouble. Don’t worry. I have used the Throne of Commandment to seal the surroundings. That woman is unable to use any of her abilities! Fortunately, I’m here. Otherwise, she would have escaped. It looks like the Throne of Commandment is better than your weapon.”

“Reid, stop talking nonsense. My weapon is definitely more powerful. I was only hesitating about whether to kill that woman or not. Otherwise, I would have taken action long ago.”

Antonio curled his lips and said, “Sure.”

“Antonio, don’t be stubborn. Is it so difficult for you to admit that others can be powerful as well? If you insist on being stubborn, I will cancel my attack right now and let that woman go. See if you can catch her.”

“Let her go. I’m not afraid at all. ”

“If you wish.”

While the two of them were arguing, the two halves of the girl’s body suddenly moved. Fine blood threads emerged from the wound, pulling her body together and making her look as good as before.

“It’s not a good habit to ambush someone. Fortunately, my body structure is completely different from a human’s, so it’s not that easy to kill me.”

The girl sighed with a relaxed expression as she touched the wound on her lower back.

“What’s going on? Reid, didn’t you say that you’ve completely sealed the energy in that area? Did you cancel the Throne of Commandment?” Antonio’s expression was dull. Reid, who was beside him, did not look too good either. “I can’t remove it. How did she move? Furthermore, she took my attack head-on, but she’s unharmed.”

“Alright, I really have to say goodbye now. However, I can’t be attacked for nothing. I expect Reid to go to the Moon Well in the Forest of Eternity as well.” The girl stretched her back. She turned around and walked toward the scarlet portal. It appeared again. As she walked, she said, “When you arrive, I will prepare a big gift for the two of you.”

“Wait, you can’t leave!”

Antonio became anxious. He summoned the Fusion Thread of the Dual God and wrapped it around the girl. During that process, the Fusion Thread of the Dual God had the illusion of a colorful magic source with different elements. It could connect to all the existing magic sources in the world. At that moment, Antonio did not hold back. The power released by all the magic sources could raze the entire capital to the ground.

However, as soon as those magic sources appeared, they shattered like bubbles, causing the flying Fusion Thread of the Dual God to wrap around nothing. The girl entered the teleportation portal and vanished from the spot.

“Reid, why didn’t you cancel the Throne of Commandments?” Antonio turned around and questioned him angrily.

It did not seal the enemy’s ability, but instead, it sealed his. That was too infuriating.

“Didn’t I react in time?” Reid scratched his head in embarrassment, “But that incident inspired me. That person was able to resist the sealing power of my Throne of Commandments and leave, but you were unable to use the Fusion Thread of the Dual God. Do you know what that proves? ”

“What does it prove?”

“It proves that The Fusion Thread of the Dual God is not as powerful as the Throne of Commandments.”

“Do you want to fight?”

“I’m just joking.” With a cough, Reid stared at the place where the girl had just left, and his expression became serious, “The Throne of Commandments is a peak starlight-tier weapon. Even a god’s power would be sealed, right? The girl could still move, so her strength was obviously extraordinary! She has summoned us tomorrow. It must be something bad. Do you want to tell Watson about that?”

“No, this is my private matter.”

Antonio hesitated for a moment and shook his head, “That mysterious girl probably has no intention of dealing with us. Otherwise, with her strength, she would have attacked just now! Furthermore, Watson is currently defending against the Elven Kingdom. At a critical moment, it is not appropriate for us to disturb him over such a small matter.”

“That makes sense.”

“Of course, if you encounter a danger that you can’t solve, you can use magic to summon Watson. He can deal with the Elven Kingdom anytime he wants. There’s only one perfect master like me. I’m quite flexible about it.”

Reid’s face was pale when he rolled his eyes.
