I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

As a half-elf, Isabella has no wings, so Gresta takes her to fly on a broomstick.

Gresta would be injured from time to time, but because her magic power was exhausted and she could not be treated, Isabella would teach her which plants in the forest can temporarily treat wounds.

It will be very troublesome if you get infected, so you have to take care of yourself even when you can't release magic.

Together they flew through forests, over mountains, and tried frying bird eggs in hot sand in the desert. I also go to the glacier in the hot summer.

Although both of them can use ice magic, it is clear that Gresta feels that it is more delicious to make smoothies by scraping snow shavings from natural icebergs.

Swim together, go shopping together, sing together, soak in hot springs together, and do many, many interesting things together...

Gresta took Isabella, who had never stepped out of the forest, to see a world more colorful than the green forest.

And Isabella has always been by Gresta's side, accompanying her to do those whimsical things that she never thought of doing when she was alone.

Gresta even took Isabella secretly around the city several times, wearing the same witch robe as herself and covering the elf's ears with a wide brim... Passers-by were amazed by Isabella's beauty. And snickering together while staring into the wall.

Such happy days have been spent for a long time, and the two people's magic level has also improved by leaps and bounds, and their relationship has become deeper and deeper.

But after all, Gresta is still human.

Although the average age of human beings on the continent of Durunoy can live to 120 years old due to abundant spiritual energy, human beings are human beings after all...

After many years, Gresta found herself old.

There are wrinkles creeping into the corners of the eyes and forehead, and my mind and body are not as flexible as before. Sometimes I even suddenly forget what I want to do.

But every time I follow my instinctive habit, I come to the forest and call her name softly——

The call carried by the wind can still make her appear.

"Isabella...."

"Good morning, Via."

"..."

Compared with before, Isabella has grown more mature from a girl, and she looks to be in her early twenties.

But Gresta is no longer the lively and energetic person she once was.

She even needed Isabella's help to get off the broom and then be held in Isabella's arms.

No longer as upright as before, Gresta's back was slightly stooped, and Isabella could still feel the uncontrollable trembling of her arms around her.

"Weiya...you have become lighter."

"Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. I've lost my appetite for food lately."

Isabella stared at the long-time best friend in front of her, and realized that she was getting older just like her father who had always loved her before.

"Then eat the food I cooked for you?"

"Okay, I like to eat the food you make the most. Although they are all vegetarian...but it would be nice to be lighter, right?"

Isabella smiled, "Yes."

Compared to humans, elves and half-elves are immortal species. This is why they do not easily come into contact with humans from the outside world.

Whether it's prejudice or separation...

Arriving at Isabella's tree house, she walked in first and quickly packed away the messy books on the table.

"I'm so envious. Your hands and feet are still so nimble..."

"Haha... You were much better than me back then." Isabella smiled bitterly, glanced at the cover of the book in her hand, then stuffed it into the bottom shelf of the bookshelf and locked it with the cabinet door.

As usual, he cooked a delicious meal for Gresta, and only then would she eat deliciously in front of him.

Gresta worked hard, as if she had done it many years ago

In the same way, he ate the food cooked by Isabella.

.....This will make Isabella happy, even though she will vomit it all when she returns home.

It wasn't because she couldn't swallow, but because her body could no longer support her digesting so much food.

The two gradually changed from bringing each other happiness to wanting to make each other happy. Later, it makes the other person feel happy...

Gresta knew clearly that she and Isabella would eventually part ways.

And the one who dies first will definitely be himself.

Gresta slowly stopped and put the bowl down.

"Isa."

"Well, I'm here, what's wrong?"

"If one day I can't come back again..."

"Then I'll find you."

Isabella quickly sat next to her and held her hand. A trace of pain flashed in her eyes, and her beautiful brows frowned slightly unconsciously.

"But I am already old, and there will always be a day when we say goodbye."

"No! I will always be with you..."

"You know that's impossible, Isabella."

"No! No! I won't let you leave me. We agreed to always be together! I have a way!"

"...Don't try to use forbidden magic on me, otherwise when I wake up after I die, I will never pay attention to you again... No, I will even hate you."

Isabella's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she relaxed her hold on Gresta's hand slightly, but immediately tightened it.

Gresta's amber eyes were still flashing with warmth. She smiled and gestured with her eyes to the books that Isabella had not had time to put away just now.

At this time, the forbidden book hidden at the bottom of the dark bookcase - "Life Transformation Catalog".

"We have been studying magic together for decades. Don't I know what you are thinking? There is a price to pay for the taboo magic about life. I will not let the friend I care about the most and love the most for everyone. It’s only a matter of time before death comes and you hurt yourself.”

Time...time...still time...!

Isabella's lips trembled. She gritted her teeth and stared at Gresta's wrinkled face. She could no longer control the tears that had already surged in her eyes, and the tip of her nose became sore.

"But...but you will die!!" She kept choking and yelling.

"Everyone dies, it's just a matter of time. It's normal, Isabella..."

"I don't allow it! I can't imagine what my world would be like without you!"

"Yeah, I can't imagine... what the world would be like without you. But I should be able to make other friends in the world after death, right?"

"I don't care. I won't allow you to make other friends in the afterlife. I'll be jealous. Just stay here, you philandering bastard!"

"No way, Isabella, this is the first time you are so willful..."

"I can only be willful this once in my life, can't I?!"

She seemed to have decided to do something, and her eyes suddenly became determined.

Isabella held Gresta's wrist, and suddenly, emerald green light surged from their intertwined hands.

Huge vitality was injected into Gresta's body in an instant, making her muddy mind suddenly clear.

As if turning back time, Gresta's body was rapidly transforming towards youth, but on the contrary, Isabella was growing up.

Gresta almost opened her eyes. She tried hard to free her hands from Isabella's restraints, but Isabella's grip was too tight. Gresta had never realized that she had such a big penis. strength.

"Let go...let me go! Frias, you madman!! I won't thank you at all for doing this, you bastard! I will hate you to death!"

"I don't want you to leave me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't want to see you die. I can't imagine what I will be like at that time. You call me selfish or a bastard! But you are my favorite in my life. People!"

Tears welled up from Isabella's eyes, and she kept apologizing, "I can't forgive myself for having the power to keep you, but letting you be taken away from me by a damn thing like 'time'... I can not do it!"

Gresta took the wand out of her arms, flicked it hard, and pointed it at her wrist.

"Wind Blade!"

"Wind Blade! (Elvish)"

Bah!

Isabella released the same magic at the same time, and the wind blade shot at Gresta's wrist was instantly offset by the magic shot from Isabella's other hand.

Gresta, who is getting younger and younger, has now reached the age of forty, and is changing towards a younger age... like the age they were when they first met.

She stared in confusion at Isabella, who was crying and laughing at her.

"Let go!"

"I don't!!"

"..."

"You are much younger. Don't go home and vomit out the food I worked so hard to prepare for you this time. Isn't it difficult?"

"What..." Gresta gasped.

How did she know?

"I said, wind, flowers, plants and animals can all convey each other's thoughts." She explained to herself.

The place where it can be conveyed is not only in the forest, but anywhere.

Gresta finally felt hot tears tearing down her cheeks along with the blurred scene in front of her eyes. Her eyes and nose were sore, and her chest felt as if it was being pulled up.

"You... selfish bastard...!"

Forbidden magic, life conversion directory, after the magic is formed until the spell is completed, Gresta will have the same long life as the caster, that is, the half-elf.

But the corresponding price Isabella has to pay is her own life... her future life.

"I'm sorry, Wei Ya...I'm afraid, afraid of the way you lose your body temperature little by little in my arms."

".....forgive me."

"Do you think - I'm not afraid?" Gresta pointed the wand at herself, directly touching her chin.

But until this forbidden magic is completely over, everything is reversible.

"I'm not afraid of anything in my life... I'm just afraid that you will do such a stupid thing for me, Isabella... Just live a good life for me, go and enjoy it for me. Your own life, otherwise, for whom have I worked so hard for so many years...?!"

"Also, don't ask me to forgive you... Fool, I would never blame you, you know."

"--No!"

[Speed ​​up chanting]

Seventh level dark magic——

"Death Curse..."

Isabella had no talent for holy magic or dark magic, she could not cast the corresponding counter-spell, and it all happened too fast and too suddenly - she was frightened by what Gresta did.

Black-purple light suddenly burst out from the tip of the staff, instantly piercing through Gresta's head from bottom to top.

The moment after that, the emerald green life energy with nowhere to go was as brilliant as fireworks exploding in front of her. They flew everywhere, and then returned to Isabella's body, making her young again.

But the amber light reflected in Isabella's azure blue eyes of despair completely dissipated.

All the strength in his body seemed to disappear in an instant, and a bucket of ice water was poured down from his head.

Isabella threw herself at Gresta, who had lost her breath and fell to the ground. Heartbroken wails came from the tree house with the door closed.

"Viya!"

Chapter 50 The Paradox of Taboo

The fiery red glow reflected on her face, and even the slightly warm wind seemed to be able to take away the temperature in her body.

Isabella stared blankly into Gresta's complicated eyes and said, "Then teacher, you are still alive now because..."

Gresta nodded, "Yes, the short life I had as a human was deprived of me by forbidden magic."

"I thought I could die like this, but when I opened my eyes again, I suddenly realized that the two of us were thinking about the same thing -"

"….We both want each other to live."

Gresta sniffed sharply, turned her head quickly, then put a flirtatious smile on her face again, and pinched Isabella's cheeks.

"They are two absolute fools, don't you think?"
