As soon as the black barrier disappeared, a blue beam of light descended from the sky and headed straight toward the World Tree.
Eiko had felt that her connection with Iris was re-established, so she didn't hesitate to teleport instantly to her location. She had been flying as fast as she could in order to reach Espoir Frieden to save her Mama from Nyarlathotep's cruelty.
"Ma!" Eiko, who was still in her Fairy Princess Form appeared in front of Iris and immediately hugged her.
A look of relief could be seen in her face, as she held the young lady tightly. "It's fine, Eiko," Iris replied as she hugged back the little girl, who was trembling in her arms. "We're safe. Your Pa—Lux came to save us."
Eiko momentarily forgot her purpose for coming to Espoir Frieden. She had been so overwhelmed with the thought of wanting to find out if her Mama was safe that she had completely forgotten about the Outer God, who had planned to destroy the World Tree.
Eiko then glanced in the distance and saw a Giant Draconic Knight, whose entire body was covered in black armor, with dragon designs embedded in it.
As if sensing her gaze, Deus Gigantia shifted its attention to the World Tree.
There, Lux saw all of his lovers at the base of the tree, including Aurora, safe and sound.
He was happy that they were no longer in danger, but he couldn't rejoice due to the bad feeling that was rising up in his chest.
Hereswith appeared in front of the Deus Gigantia, who was still in its Dragon Knight Form.
"Lux, did you find it?" Hereswith asked. Similar to Lux, she had also tried to look for the Pillar of Eternity, but her search didn't yield any results.
"No," Lux replied as countless beams of light left Deus Gigantia's body.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAvernus and his Undead Dragon Legion once again soared through the skies, roaring cries of victory, and making the survivors cheer because the Monsters that had endangered their lives had all turned to ashes.
But the happiness and relief didn't last for long.
Soon, wails of sadness and heartache reverberated in the surroundings as everyone mourned for the loss of their loved ones.
Lux and Hereswith sighed in their hearts, but they knew that they had already done the best that they could to minimize the number of casualties.
Even so, the number of people who died numbered in the hundreds of thousands, which wasn't a small number.
All the non-combatants had been gathered to stay in the Kingdom of Espoir Frieden, knowing that it was the safest place in the world.
Unfortunately, the Outer God used this mentality to launch its devastating attack, killing many people who didn't have the strength to defend themselves from its vile clutches.
"Leave the rest to me," Hereswith said as he nudged the Half-Elf in the direction of the World Tree. "They are waiting for you there."
Lux nodded, as he exited the blue jewel on Deus Gigantia's chest.
The Skeleton King then turned into particles of light, as the Half-Elf flew towards the World Tree to see his lovers.
The moment he landed, Aurelia and Ari hugged him tightly, and both of them had tears in their eyes.
When Nyarlathotep appeared, they thought that everything was over and that they would never get the chance to see him again.
But when Lux suddenly appeared, they felt their worries disappear without a trace.
They couldn't explain the feeling, but it was just what they experienced during their darkest and most desperate time.
Iris, Cai, Valerie, and Ali looked at this scene with complicated looks on their faces.
They didn't know what they should do at the moment and simply watched Aurelia and Ari cry their hearts out in Lux's embrace.
Aurora didn't join her two sisters and simply held Valerie's hand.
As someone very sensitive to life force, she had noticed that the Dragon Princess had a life growing inside her womb.
This didn't come as too much of a surprise to her because she knew about Valerie's determination to give birth to Lux's child.
She just didn't expect that the Dragon Princess would actually succeed.
After confirming that Valerie was indeed pregnant, she immediately checked the bodies of her other sisters, to see if they, too, were with child.
It didn't take long for her to realize that Aurelia was also pregnant.
Aurora felt a faint stirring of envy and jealousy in her heart because her two sisters had managed to get ahead of her.
After seeing Dia, Aurora felt very attached to her and also wished to have a baby that was as cute and adorable as her.
However, she knew that Lux wouldn't grant her request until Daniel's threat had been eliminated.
Aurora agreed with her lover's mindset because she didn't want to give birth in a world that was under Daniel's rule.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the former Goddess of Solais, she hated the Pseudo-God with a vengeance. Unfortunately, her current self no longer had the strength to fight against him.
The only one who could do that was Lux, who was now in possession of two Pillars of Eternity.
Although Eiko still held the Golden Anchor, she would always fight by Lux's side, so the Second Pillar of Eternity technically belonged to the Half-Elf.
'Only the Golden Candle remains,' Aurora thought. 'The Pillar that represents Hope.'
Aurora already assumed that Daniel was in possession of two Pillars of Eternity because the one Nyarlathotep had didn't appear when it died.
With this, four Pillars had already appeared in the world, with the location of the last one still unknown.
Whoever managed to get it first would have the advantage. But in the end, this meant Daniel and Lux were fated to meet, for they both needed to complete the Five Pillars in order to reach their goals.
For the time being, Aurora set these thoughts aside and looked at her lover.
A faint smile even appeared on her lips. She didn't know how Lux would react once he discovered that aside from Dia, he would have two more babies in the future.
Valerie was also looking at the handsome Half-Elf with a faint blush on her face. She had been told that the father of the child she was carrying was Lux, although this was the first time she was seeing the handsome Half-Elf.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Lux looked back at her with a smile on his face.
This made Valerie's face turn a shade redder and her heartbeat to beat faster.
Ali, on the other hand, who was also seeing Lux for the first time, had a strong urge to hug him.
She didn't know where this feeling was coming from, but this was the first thing that came to her mind after the Half-Elf appeared in front of her.
"Let's go inside the house first," Lux said after Aurelia and Ari finally calmed down. "We have a lot of things to talk about."
The two beautiful ladies in his arms nodded their heads at the same time. Now that the threat of Nyarlathotep was over, they would like to spend more time with Lux and be embraced by him once again.
