Lulunaka turned around and stood face to face with Apo.
Tonight, she didn't wear that tattered cloak, and her head was exposed.
Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying with her movements.
A two-handed broken sword was stuck at her feet. If Julius were here, he would probably tremble involuntarily at the sight of the broken sword.
She stood at the end of the promontory. From Apo's position, he could see the moon above her head, as if the moonlight directly fell on her body.
Under the moonlight, Lulunaka looked more mysterious than usual, and had a wonderful beauty.
If one didn't think about her usual words and actions, she was already like a beautiful painting just by standing there.
Romuiona stood further away, so she couldn't feel the soft beauty of Lurunaka under the moonlight better, but this already made her want to get close to her, but in the end, she still suppressed such an impulse.
Looking at Lulunaka and Apo's faces, it was probably not a coincidence that they met face to face.
"Only you would take a walk at this time." Apo responded to Lulunaka's words.
Lulunaka smiled, and the moonlight made her smile look gentler — at least it didn't look like a devil's smile.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe someone will come out at this time and want to enjoy the sea breeze."
Lulunaka's eyes moved slightly to the other side, looking at Romuona behind Apo.
She only glanced at Romuiona for a moment before withdrawing her gaze.
Romuona knew that Lulunaka could see her, but she didn't notice that Lulunaka's eyes moved between her and Apo.
"No one will disturb us here."
Lulunaka said to Apo, "Although it's just a coincidence, I think it's the right time."
"Yes, everyone is sleeping soundly." Apo said, "It's like they've been drugged."
Apo's words implied something.
"I just added some beneficial ingredients to their dinner, so that they can have a better sleep." Lulunaka said, "Even if it suddenly rains and thunders, they won't be awakened."
Tonight's dinner was prepared by Lulunaka. It seemed that she added something that only she knew when others didn't know. Lulunaka said it was an ingredient, but no one would believe it, at least it was definitely not an "ordinary" ingredient.
In front of her, Apo didn't seem surprised, as if he had been used to Lulunaka's practice.
"You used to be like this too. You always added things that we didn't know about in our dinner so that we could sleep better … But it definitely wasn't for our rest. You just thought that we were too noisy at night, so noisy that you couldn't sleep."
"You're making trouble, so I naturally have to deal with it.
The sleeping grass powder that I carefully ground is not harmful. You should thank me for using such expensive ingredients to nourish your spirits. "
The "we" in Apo's mouth and the "you" in Lulunaka's mouth naturally didn't refer to Romuona and the others.
Before Romuona and the others were brought here by Lulunaka, a group of people also lived in this church, and Apo was also in that group.
Romuona's current position couldn't clearly hear what Lulunaka and Apo were talking about. Even if she heard it clearly, she probably couldn't understand what they were talking about.
That was something that only Lulunaka and Apo knew.
"By the way, I should give this to you." Lulunaka pulled out the broken sword from the ground and threw it to Apo.
She threw it casually, as if she was throwing something worthless.
When Apo took the broken sword, he held it with both hands. He didn't ask why Lulunaka gave him the broken sword. He didn't say anything and just looked down at the rusty broken sword.
"When I held this broken sword and stuck it here to give Julius some guidance." Lulunaka stretched out her foot and stepped on the place where the sword was stuck.
Unlike the others, she seemed to treat her behavior of tormenting Julius as a teaching — judging from the fact and the result, it seemed to be the case.
"You should have noticed it, right?
Although the sword was damaged beyond recognition, if it was you, you would definitely be able to recognize the origin of this sword.
Or, have you forgotten such an important thing? "
Apo didn't answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Now that things have come to this, even if you give this thing to me, what's the point?"
"Yes, she has been dead for so long. Even if you have any guilt in your heart, it has probably been thrown into the sea and drifted away with the waves."
Lulunaka smiled and said, "A long time ago, I didn't expect you to be a person who valued friendship and righteousness, Apo."
Although Lulunaka spoke with a smile, it sounded more like she was mocking Apo.
Apo didn't refute. He just looked at the broken sword and slid his fingers on the rusty sword.
He seemed to have acquiesced to Lulunaka's mockery.
Lulunaka didn't continue and fell silent.
Her back was to the moonlight, but her eyes were shining, bright and clear like stars.
After a while, Lulunaka spoke.
"Apo, Dana is dead."
Apo's fingers stopped moving on the broken sword and his whole body froze.
"When did this happen?" He finally spoke, but his voice was trembling so much that his tone changed when he spoke.
If Lulunaka's mockery after throwing the broken sword to him didn't move him much, then the current him was clearly shaken by Lulunaka's words.
"It has been five years." Lulunaka replied. At this time, she didn't have a smile on her face, which was rare.
She was expressionless and looked at Apo calmly.
"Why are you only telling me now?"
"Why should I tell you?"
Lulunaka asked back, "If you really had the heart and courage to see her, then you didn't need me to ask … Perhaps you could have accompanied her to the end in her last days.
But you didn't, you coward. "
Apo's hands were shaking. The broken sword in his hands was also shaking.
"You could have saved her. You could have let her live …"
Lulunaka tilted her head and looked puzzled — She looked innocent when she showed this expression, but it was so pure that it made people feel a trace of cruelty.
What she said next was as ruthless as the impression she gave people.
"Why should I save her?"
Apo clenched his fists.
His hands didn't tremble as much as before, but they were still shaking slightly.
The broken sword was shaking, but this shaking was different from before — The broken sword was shaking because of Apo's strength, as if it couldn't bear his strength.
"Is she not worth saving?" Apo asked.
"I also want to ask you this." Lulunaka asked, "Is Dana not worth saving?
I almost forgot that you gave your answer a long time ago. "Lulunaka spread out her hands," So she is dead and you are still alive.
It really makes people want to laugh out loud. "
But Lulunaka didn't really laugh.
Apo didn't speak. His body began to emit a faint light.
This light was not obvious. In this dark night, it was like the light of a few fireflies, and it felt like it would dissipate at any time.
Compared with the moonlight, the light on Apo's body was not obvious.
But no matter how weak this light was, it was still a source of light in this darkness. Romuona, who was a little further away, naturally saw Apo's strange appearance.
Romuona didn't know what the light on Apo's body was.
Magic?
Divine Art?
Or was it the light of warriors like Padding and Olga?
Lulunaka saw the light on Apo's body, but she didn't look surprised.
"I thought you were going to be a coward for the rest of your life, and even forgot how to be angry.
Seeing you like this, I am a little happy.
At least you still have the emotion of anger. "
Lulunaka opened her arms and faced Apo. Her posture looked like she was waiting for Apo to hug her.
"I said that, so it's not strange that you feel angry.
Come, let me see what your anger can do now! "
The light on Apo's body didn't always remain as weak as a firefly's light. It became brighter and brighter, and his whole person seemed to be integrated with the light.
When he raised his head, his eyes, which were covered by his messy bangs, seemed to be lit by the light. Through his thick hair, it seemed to be shining on Lulunaka's body.
Apo's mouth muttered something in a low voice. It sounded like a prayer, but also like he was talking to himself.
"Light gives me strength, light illuminates the world … … God of Light, guide my path!"
He raised his right hand, and the light on his body converged on his hand.
The light in his hand turned into the shape of a spear.
This was a scene that Romuona had never seen before. The spear formed by the light in Apo's hand became the most dazzling existence in the night. Even the moonlight paled in comparison.
The light in Apo's hand condensed into a spear. On the spear, the light was like a silk thread that overflowed and floated out into the air.
At this time, Apo, in Romuona's eyes, was like a saint that only appeared in books.
"Supreme existence, I beg you, correct the mistake of the person in front of me!"
Apo made a throwing motion, took a deep breath, and threw the spear at Lulunaka.
