The greatest king of the Nierdelan Civilization, the most fearless warrior Quides, sat on the throne with his shriveled body, like a candle in the wind, about to extinguish completely.
The only thing he could do was hand over the War God Axe, symbolizing the "Fearless Will" of the Nierdelan people, to the five children. As he saw the five children, flushed with effort, struggling together to lift the divine artifact upright, he showed his last radiant smile.
The warriors had their legacy.
His last gaze turned to Tang Qi.
The next moment, Tang Qi's promise echoed in his mind.
"I will shelter them until they grow to rebuild Nieldland."
Quides still didn't know who Tang Qi was, but the warrior's intuition told him that this was a powerful being worth trusting.
Regrets and concerns vanished, and the last trace of life force finally departed from Quides.
