Chapter 245 The Person Who Has Protected the World for Four Hundred Years
"To gain immortality through Fez?"
Ed Biggslow, who was treating Chase, looked up and said indignantly, "You're so selfish! Don't you know that many places in the world are plunged into war because of the depletion of magic?"
"I know you're in a hurry, but could you please not rush?"
Chess gasped in pain as the other person suddenly increased the pressure on his hand.
He had a great time fighting and gained a lot, but he wasn't a monster like Acnologia after all. His injuries were quite severe, and this blow was really going to be tough for him.
"Ah? Sorry, sorry." Ed Biguslo scratched his head apologetically.
"Chase is right. Let's hear the reasons first," Edgildas said in a deep voice.
Whether it's the title of World Guardian that circulates in the Northern Continent, or the fact that he spends his years on this remote sky island, it all indicates that Acnologia's "immortality" is definitely not as simple as it seems!
Having regained some strength, Acnologia slowly stood up, looked up at the brilliant night sky, his expression quite calm, and didn't seem to care about Edbigulus's accusations.
The long period of isolation made him very unaccustomed to communicating with people like this. He pondered for a long time before he could barely organize his thoughts into a complete sentence.
"I don't know what the world is like now, but in the era when I was born, about four hundred years ago, magic was a tool to serve human development."
"Although there are occasional battles, the overall situation is good. Everyone is full of hope for the future, and life is thriving with the help of magic."
When recalling the good old days, Acnologia's usually cold and expressionless face broke into a smile, which quickly vanished as he became serious and angry.
"Until one day, a group of bastards who could use magic at will and called themselves apostles of God descended from the sky."
With his hands clenched into fists hanging by his sides, Chess and the others finally learned about Edolas' history from over four hundred years ago through his gritting-teeth narration.
With their powerful god-slaying magic, the Apostles of God, upon their appearance, immediately launched an incredibly brutal invasion across the world, committing all manner of atrocities, including burning, killing, looting, and plundering, in an attempt to conquer the entire Edolas by force.
Despite the vast disparity in strength and the fact that they could only rely on outdated magical weapons, the Edolas people at that time still fearlessly launched a resistance.
The two sides clashed in a deadly battle in this forest of the northern continent.
Although Edolas ultimately succeeded in annihilating the Apostle of God squad, they paid a heavy price of nearly 100,000 lives!
However, this was only a temporary victory, or rather, the beginning of despair.
With the world coordinates of Edolas exposed and it discovered that the humans here don't even know how to use magic, more and more "Apostles of God" are descending for enormous profits!
And so, Edolas was drawn into the long and desperate vortex of war.
To defend against foreign enemies and to prevent their homeland and loved ones from being buried by war, the Edolas people gathered all the magic of the continent to create the white giant foot, which is Fez.
They succeeded, using the allure of a massive magical source to successfully shift the battlefield to the floating island atop Fez!
At the beginning, there were dozens of islands at the top of Fez that served as battlefields, and warriors from all over the world came in an endless stream to protect their homeland, including Acnologia.
As the relentless war continues to spread, the number of floating islands is dwindling.
By the time the powerful Acnologia realized what was happening, he turned around and found himself all alone, covered in blood!
All my close friends and relatives are dead!
Endless despair gave birth to new hope and a lock: perhaps because he had been bathed in the blood of too many god-slaying mages, he gained the ability to seal and restrict magic power.
The brutal war continues in these skies, with new warriors joining only to perish in the enemy's relentless magical bombardment, turning into cold, withered bones.
After an unknown amount of time, Acnologia gradually realized that no one could keep up with her anymore.
To prevent passionate young people from dying in vain, he connected his body and consciousness with Fies and set up a sealing altar to block the path to this place, choosing the loneliest path: to face the enemy from another world alone!
Under his protection, Edolas was able to return to peace, and after hundreds of years of peaceful development, it eventually evolved into its present form.
As time went by, the "Apostle of God" and the "World Crisis" gradually became legends.
Among them, of course, is the "World Guardian" of Acnologia, which the Edches team has come to know.
"Unexpectedly, while we are filled with fear and anxiety over our depleted magic power, such a scene unfolds on the other side of the world."
"Wait, wait a minute, so you're saying you've been protecting this world alone for over four hundred years?!"
Having learned the whole truth, Eddildars and the others stood there stunned and heartbroken.
Although Acunorokia tried to downplay the whole process, they still felt the overwhelming sense of tragedy.
Edbiguslo felt incredibly ashamed of his previous accusations: without Acnologia, perhaps their world would no longer exist!
Compared to them, Chase and Ed Chase, who were not "locals," were a little calmer, keeping their eyes down and remaining silent.
Chase was more moved and incredulous. He never expected that Acnologia, who was known as the destroyer of the world in Esland, would be set up like this here.
The will instilled in a fist does not lie, and Acnologia, who possesses immortality and the power to seal demons, has no reason to lie.
Standing alone high in the sky, using his steel body to block all the invading enemies, he single-handedly controlled hundreds of years of time. This guy is really a man!
Edchez's thoughts were much more complicated.
Based on Acnologia's description, it's not hard to determine that the God-Slaying Mages who invaded Edolas came from the divine realm where he lived.
He didn't know their true identities, but he was certain that they were not the so-called "apostles of God".
The realm of the gods is vast and boundless, and the high and mighty gods possess countless resources. They would never be interested in a low-magic world like Edolas!
At this thought, Edchez's expression suddenly became resolute.
Whether out of admiration for Acnologia, guilt towards the gods, or determination to better protect his guildmates, he, who always adhered to the path of prudentity, took a step forward without hesitation.
"Mr. Acnologia, protecting the world is the responsibility of all Edolas people. Please allow me to stay here and fight alongside you!"
The moment the words were spoken, the scene fell into complete silence.
"Honestly, you're clearly terrified inside, but you still have to act all cool. I think you caught it from Chase over there!"
Despite his disdainful tone, Ed Abramington, who had come to his side, still smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
He really is handsome!
Her actions clearly demonstrated her stance.
Following closely behind, Eddildars and the others stepped forward, their earnest and determined gazes speaking volumes.
Acnologia's pupils contracted slightly upon sensing the will of the group, before returning to their previous silence.
"Igunir, Precito, Maldo—"
He did not respond to Edchas and his companions' request to fight, but instead indifferently raised his arm and pointed to the mountain of white bones in the distance.
"There were once young people like you who broke the seal on the altar and came to this place, but now, they are all gone."
