Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 204: I Can't Tell I Really Can't Tell! (5000 words)


Streams of light flutter like butterflies, dissipating in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

Louis watches the couple quietly looking at Qian, their bodies eventually vanishing into the air.

Until both disappear completely, Qian crouches on the ground, bowing her head to hide her expression.

Louis remains silent.

He stands quietly beside her, looking at the Healing Blade that returns to his hand, not speaking for a long time.

Finally, he sighs softly:

"Emperor, oh emperor..."

He notices more details.

For example, why Qian's mother couldn't make candied yams well.

—Because Rogen was always the one boiling the syrup nearby, while his wife fried the yams.

He also notices the timing of Qian's mother's return.

—Last year she wandered on Central Avenue, synchronized with the time when Rogen couldn't let go.

The scene of their dance was beautiful, but too painful.

One died before the sleep festival they couldn't attend again.

One fell before the dawn when the New Book of the Dead was destroyed.

Louis asked the little swan about the dead.

The little swan clearly stated that the souls of the deceased seem covered in fog, with past memories becoming increasingly vague.

Ultimately leaving only remaining instincts, continuing to operate in the world.

Rogen and his beloved being able to clear their minds before vanishing is already an extremely rare occurrence.

He reaches out, fingertips gently touching the dissipating glow.

"So beautiful..."

When his wife danced alone on the empty street, when Rogen's soul manifested at this moment.

The souls, at different times, never touched each other with their hands, yet danced silently in their hearts alongside the silent melody.

In this time-transcending dance, the Healing Blade split into two at this moment.

Almost like witnessing the continuation of the love between the two.

Being able to wait for the person they love at the last moment, amidst silence and dissipating bonfires, also counts as solace.

"Aren't you giving it a name?"

Louis looks at the sparkling long blade, somewhat envious for a moment.

It looks so beautiful.

Not knowing what kind of special ability it holds.

Louis can basically be sure that Miss Qian's blade and his Healing Blade aren't the same thing.

—Even though this thing clearly separated from the Healing Blade.

But that makes sense.

The Fallen Shadow Magic is the most wondrous magic Louis has ever seen, if not the most.

This magic is more like a reflection of the soul than a spell.

Reflecting a certain projection of the heart, thereby revealing a certain special magical nature.

In some measure, it comes close to Louis' understanding of the force of concept.

Like "Galaxy is also a River" River God, like "How great is the Tiger" Tank Laoqin People...

Let's take the simplest example.

The Tiger Taming Technique obtained from the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake.

This thing... as long as your power difference isn't big, you have the opportunity to control tiger-type monsters.

But as everyone knows, the origins of tiger-type monsters on Star Continent are many, and they might not even be creatures from the same world.

But the Tiger Taming Technique can control tiger demons in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm and tiger-type monsters in reality.

This can't be explained by mere spell effects.

The Healing Blade is the same, after all, the Healing Blade was essentially Rogen's intense belief condensed into "I think" magic with all his Fallen Shadow power.

I think the long blade I cultivated can deliver critical strikes to the dead and the living dead, and under intense belief, the Healing Blade was born.

Of course, the actual reason for its birth wasn't that simple.

Otherwise, this solid-state weapon-shaped ritual magic would have already flooded Star Continent.

"Curious about my blade?"

Miss Qian glanced at Louis.

Louis shyly replied:

"It would be nice if you were willing to tell me."

Qian nodded, saying:

"If it's you, you can know. The blade's effect is simple, dispelling disease and healing."

"As for the name... let's call it Healing Blade."

Louis understood:

"In the end, Auntie didn't let go of you."

He stealthily glanced at the Black Sun in the sky.

Thinking this way, the emperor is quite humane.

Rogen's beloved supposedly shouldn't possess this ability.

After all, she wasn't a native of the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm. Even if she was buried there by Rogen, she doesn't have relations with the Fallen Shadow creatures.

Being able to traverse between two realms, there's only one possibility...

Someone helped her behind the scenes.

Although the new continent also has legends of receiving dreams from the deceased, even the archbishop of the Church of Death and Sleep said such things are extremely rare.

On Star Continent, the souls after death either fly to the Divine Kingdom of gods or drift beyond the outer realms, re-entering a new cycle.

The unlucky ones might directly fall into the Abyss or Bator Hell, transforming into demons and devils, becoming soul coins in the hands of high-ranking lords.

In short, wanting to linger long on Star Continent is quite difficult.

Unless one transforms themselves into certain beings.

Like Witch Demon, living dead, Skeleton Race...

But to this day, many still believe that transforming into such forms might not even be the original soul.

Just like those souls entering the Abyss, transforming into imps.

Do they have any relation to their past lives?

Therefore, the fact that Rogen's beloved could remain as a soul with cloudy mind is purely because she is in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

The Black Sun over the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm no longer casts a destructive black radiance, but instead, a touch of the emperor's warmth.
