Chapter 378 378-City Of Souls

Third Person POV:

For the first time since the disaster, the city of Crour-Si-Bhel found peace and silence, the bloodied city dried up, and beautiful flowers bloomed, turning the city into a peaceful land of beauty, the main focus of change was in the palace situated at the center of the city, a humongous tree the color of red and green covered over the palace.

The tree distinctly produced a small number of pollens that was released into the city, taking away the awful smell of blood and death, while it also cleared up all the dirt from the city, making it pristine and clean, within seconds the city was reborn again.

The cherry on top was the music filling the entire city, along with a voice singing about the heartbreak of the past, it was imbued with purification from the past but due to the connection with the G.o.ddess of life, an extreme potent of life energy filled the music and for a moment, the combination of two things created a miracle.

Hazy ghost-like figures started to appear all around the city, every elf killed mercilessly due to the mistake of the past rose from their slumber, their body illusionary, while their eyes were filled with nostalgia for the past, millions had risen from their slumber, covering up the entire city with the visage of ghosts.

All of them swayed to the music, and they all seemed to understand everything as they kept swaying about, the tunes breaking into their soul and providing the peace that they dearly needed, music at the right time and tune has the power to move hearts and with a touch of magic, it was moving souls.

The whole of the darkened sky was also affected, the atmosphere of death fading away, the whole place was in a blocked-off s.p.a.ce, yet a starry sky of peace was created above, twinkling rays of light falling down on the ground, while even the lands outside the city gave birth to an atmosphere of plants and life.

A breathtaking scene covered the entirety of the city, within moments it had transformed from a broken b.l.o.o.d.y city to a Peace land of death, its sparkling scene enough to take away the breath of all, and the only one capable of seeing it all was the eyeball, it floated above and managed the city till time immemorial and it once again began to see the miracles the beings of life could create, something it cherished to see all its life.

Unknown to all the changes Austin kept his play, going forth with his feelings alone, the resonation between his act and the power of life producing a powerful ripple that extended the time he could use his connection, hence a song of beauty, grace, and rebirth went on for one and half a minute after which it stopped, what needed to be achieved was already done.

......

Austin POV:

My hands stopped playing the harp as the music came to a stop, once I started to immerse in my play I had forgotten about everything and just went on, my mind was a blur, and I could keenly feel that I had broken past some barriers and a soulful connection made me understand that several messages from the system were heard, yet not to disturb my immersion the noise was cut off.

I exhaled, my body feeling light and heavy, a very unusual combination for me, relaxing my muscles I send my weapon back as I opened my eyes, coming upon the sight of several beautiful red-haired elves surrounding me, unlike before no craze filled their eyes, they were sane, all of them surrounded me with a smile on their faces.

Turning to look up at the throne, Alberdo sat there high and mighty, yet seeing me back he stood up from his seat as he walked down towards me, soon he was adding in front of me, towering over me with the highest of at least 1 meter, I could see the inbuilt pride in his eyes, without any words he gave me a bow.

The rest soon followed after him, everyone surrounding me had smiles on their face as they bowed deeply to me,

"Thank you..."

A messed up p.r.o.nunciation of the language of the current Era left Alberdo's mouth and the rest spoke the same word albeit much worse than him but in the end, what they meant was to thank me but what shocked me was all the other souls that I felt all around the city.

Due to all the trees and plans, I have my complete sense spread around, making me understand everything going on, I could feel all the souls within the city, every one of them bowing their heads early towards the palace, ranging from a child to an adult, all of them had their heads down as they thanked me,

"Ghree Figree"

I responded back in their language telling them that they are welcome, my words resounding all around the city, every nook and corner heard my words and this was more than enough as the skies above started to sparkle like stars, the spiritual bodies of the elves flickering after which they rose up into the sky, finally having the rest that they were denied.

Around me, the bodies of the killers started to crack, and along with it their mortal bodies turned to sand, as it washed away leaving just their souls sparkling alive,

"I thought you are all immortals now?"

I asked in their own language, something granted to me by the system,

"We are, as long as we keep suffering but the moment we are saved of our curse we would die"

Alberdo spoke, he was the only one left in his mortal body, cracks filling all over him, even in death I could see an unkillable level of pride s.h.i.+mmering within in, his head looked down on me as he spoke in his native language,

"I do not have much to give, everything left here is yours to command, even my city"

Hearing his words my heart started to beat faster, he might not think much of this but having control over this whole city meant something completely different to me,

"I lived my life over everything, hence my arrogance lead to the demise of my people, you have granted me the death I needed, hence I shall grant you everything I have left"

Alberdo said in a deep voice as his body s.h.i.+ned in a dangerous red hue, causing some markings to come over his body, soon all the markings crawled over from his body, coming together as a ma.s.s of ball floating above his hand, he waved it and it entered deep into me.

The ball split up, the same markings as before crawling all over my body, covering everything, after which it s.h.i.+ned in a deep red, marking itself on me as it soon faded away, leaving my body as before, Alberdo nodded his head,

"I have given you everything, I know its over me to ask but please do look after her, she would be your greatest weapon at all times, after all, she's my greatest creation"

These were his final words as his body too turned to sand, leaving behind his soul, by now the rest of the souls had left, giving me one final gaze at me Alberdo's soul floated up into the sky, due to the trees all around me I was gifted with the mystical sight.

Souls from every place in the city were being lifted into the sky, all of them entering into the swirling tornado of the afterlife, the skies changing like a galaxy. Smiles gracing the faces of the souls, and a mystical city of life, everything worked well as I stood there feeling upon the change, till the city was at peace again.
