Rise of the Dark Witch

The sky was torn apart.

The ground is shaking.

The air vibrates.

Five golden knights from the Ark Federation Empire, the only human country in the world, joined forces to attack the territory of the dark elves.

There were only three dark elves with gold-level combat power who should not have been a match for these five golden knights.

However--

"vomit!"

As the strongest human being, Gavin clutched his chest and vomited blood.

The hard armor has been shattered.

The muscular body is littered with injuries.

The magic power as strong as the sea has bottomed out.

The spirit that was as dazzling as the sun gradually dimmed.

He held the sword in both hands and barely stood, looking around with his blood-stained red eyes, looking at the few people who were supposed to be his companions.

"Why?" he asked those people, "Why do you betray humanity?"

If the other party just wanted to kill him, he would be angry, but he would never be confused.

But at the critical moment when they can obtain the Elf Sacred Tree, at the moment when the life and death of all the people in the Ark Federation Empire is related, why would they, as the Golden Knights, betray? Why are you siding with the dark elves?

Gavin glared at one of them—Anson Gilley!

Anson is second only to him in strength and prestige among the Twelve Golden Knights. They have slightly different philosophies and are often hostile.

He also knew that Anson secretly controlled the Fire Stealing Cult and used it to cause countless tragedies.

Despite this, he still trusted Anson, because he knew that everything Anson did was the same as him, to save mankind and the world!

Although he didn't like what Anson did, he had to admit that Anson still got a lot of useful data after doing so many things that made people and gods angry.

He is not a morally obsessive person.

Necessary sacrifices were allowed by him.

He would only strike when Anson really crossed the line.

But he never expected that Anson would live up to his expectations? Degenerate to this extent?

"Gavin, stop lying to yourself." Anson sighed.

"What did you say?" Gavin narrowed his eyes.

"The creation god is dead, and the Elf God Tree will die too. All the Elf God Trees in this world will die completely within a hundred years. No matter how many Elf God Trees are collected, apart from expanding the scope of our survival, there will be no way to stop us from a hundred years later. The coming of the world-destroying disaster.”

"So you betrayed humanity?"

"Betrayal? Haha, you are wrong, we are the real saviors of mankind! What we do is truly saving mankind!"

Gavin breathed heavily, secretly taking advantage of the gap in conversation to regain his strength.

Everyone around him knew what Gavin was doing, but they didn't stop him or attack him immediately.

Anson continued his speech.

"Gods never truly die."

"Life and death are just two different forms of gods."

“When He was in the state of life, what He created was the world of life in which we once lived.”

"When He is in the state of death, what comes is the Demon Realm of Death full of despair."

"What we should do is not to resist stubbornly and continue to struggle in the world of 'life' that is destined to disappear, but to embrace the future and be prepared to welcome the world of 'death'."

"We have mastered the method of converting the magic power of life into the magic power of death. As long as everyone in this world can convert the magic power of life into the magic power of death, then they can continue to survive in the coming world of death!"

Anson clenched his fists with both hands, "Only my path can save this world!"

"..." Gavin was silent for a while and then said, "Do you know how many people will die if you do this?"

"At least I can preserve the fire of mankind, and your actions will only make the human race extinct in this world forever!"

"I'm not completely denying what you did, otherwise I wouldn't have left you alone all these years... Do you really think that the things you did can be hidden from me? It's just that it's too early!"

"morning?"

"At least wait until the last ten years, when you really can't think of any other way, before you implement your method."

"Hmph! You indecisive guys will only kill more people!"

At this point, there is nothing left to say between Gavin and Anson.

Neither of them would agree with the other's philosophy.

They all absolutely want to save humanity!

so--

"Fight!"

"Then let's fight!"

The battle between Gavin, the first knight of the kingdom, and Anson, the second knight, begins again.

Anson has always been unhappy with the fact that Gavin is stronger than him.

He indeed lost the sparring match.

But it's not necessarily a matter of life and death.

He has always thought about finding an opportunity to have a life-threatening battle with Gavin, using his blood and life to tell the world who is the strongest human being between the two of them!

Now the opportunity is right in front of him, but he won't do it.

Because he cares more about realizing his ideals than his personal desires!

With the help of three fellow Golden Knights and three Dark Elves, Gavin, who was already limitedly stronger than him, had no power to resist, and he couldn't even make him vomit blood.

The battle ended without any suspense.

Seeing Gavin lying on the ground bruised and unconscious, Anson put his sword on Gavin's neck and was unable to cut it.

He doesn't like Gavin.

But he had to agree that Gavin was a powerful man worthy of respect.

"Why do we, who have the same dream, go on opposite paths? Why are our swords at each other's throats?"

"Lock him up, don't let him die."

"I will prove to him in a hundred years that I am right!"

"When the time comes, I will have a fair duel with him and let the world know who is the real strongest!"

After imprisoning Gavin, Anson rushed back to the Yak Federation Empire.

Within the Twelve Golden Knights, there are many people standing beside Gavin.

He must suppress those people, and the entire knight order in the kingdom must obey his orders.

But before doing those things, he came to the depths of the Yak Federation Empire, in front of an elf tree that was about to decay and die.

Under the Elf God Tree, a haggard old man who seemed to have only a few days to live sat leaning on the tree trunk.

Boo!

Anson knelt down to the old man.

"Anson has met Lord Sage Pumis." Anson lowered his head and said respectfully.

This old man sitting under the Elf God Tree is the Sage Pumice who saved mankind from the invasion of the Demon Realm three hundred years ago!

Anson told Sage Pumeis everything about him and the dark elves to capture Gavin alive and what he planned to do next.

After finishing speaking, he nervously waited for Sage Pumis's reaction.

However, he knelt in front of Sage Pumice for three days and three nights, but still received no response from Sage Pumice.

"...I will continue to follow my path. I will definitely do my best, even if it costs me my life, I will definitely save mankind!"

After Anson kowtowed seven times to Sage Pumice, he stood up and left.

Behind him, there was a faint sigh. (End of chapter)
