Chapter 307 Sister
Muban was blinded and unable to see his surroundings clearly after being forcibly absorbed into the containment space.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself somewhere in the realm of death, surrounded by undead, a magic guild, humanity's last stronghold.
Farmland was trampled and houses were demolished. The resurrected undead obeyed only the will of the Demon Lord, indulging in slaughter and violence, dragging all life they saw into the ranks of death.
A giant skeleton appeared from behind Muban, its arms transformed into bone saws, and charged forward, emitting a deathly howl.
“Ah, don’t…”
Startled, Muban instinctively backed away, but the giant skeleton passed right through him without noticing him at all, as if the two were from completely different worlds.
Only then did Muban realize the changes around him. He couldn't feel his body; his whole body felt as if it had been thrown into the air and was floating lightly.
"What did Luo Yi do to me? Did he pull my soul out?"
"Correct answer. I didn't expect your brain to still be completely rotten."
Luo Yi suddenly appeared behind Mu Ban. Mu Ban was at a loss, having absorbed all the power of the phantom beast. His attempts to escape or resist were futile.
Muban stood up, trying to remain calm. As long as he was alive, he had a chance. Luo Yi was just an arrogant child, and Muban felt he could still deal with him.
"Do you even understand the situation, Luo Yi? Maga Serpent has evolved, becoming an even more dangerous being! If we don't stop it, the entire world will be destroyed..."
Mu Ban, who was about to confront Luo Yi, bumped into something with a thud. When he came to his senses and touched it, he realized it was an invisible barrier that Luo Yi had used to imprison Mu Ban's soul.
"What does the destruction of the world have to do with me? I have given so much for you humans, and all you do is abuse the magic I gave you!"
"There is no need for such a selfish and deceitful world to continue to exist."
Star Dew was now in control of his consciousness, and Luo Yi's soul had temporarily separated, as he had other attempts he wanted to make.
Luo Yi's body underwent a fundamental change in temperament, the compatibility of the magical beast's power reached its peak, and the magical energy emitted a dazzling light. Mu Ban had witnessed this dreamlike scene before.
"You are a phantom beast...you have taken over Luo Yi's body!"
"Yes, you're very lucid, that's great. Now I can let you see what's coming next without worry!"
Stardew clasped her hands together, creating a barrier that imprisoned Muban, cutting him off from all contact with the outside world. His movements and sounds would be unknown to the outside world, but Muban could clearly see everything that was happening in the Mage Guild's territory.
As the phantom beast Star Dew stepped aside, a gentle, healing light shone forth, standing out brightly in the dark, deathly realm.
This is why the center of the light was besieged by a large group of undead.
Upon seeing this scene, Muban immediately became agitated, pounding on the barrier with his hands and scratching it with his fingernails, trying every possible way to tear open a hole so that his voice could get out and reach Elifa's ears.
Run, run...
Two simple words, yet they can't penetrate a barrier as thin as paper.
They are now separated by death, their fate unknown.
Elifa is still alive, but she is surrounded by death, and the one who caused these deaths is Mubanta himself.
Muban was almost dead, but now his emotions were stronger than when he was alive. Without physical constraints, his soul could be controlled by his emotions in all his words and actions.
Knowing it won't work, yet still trying again and again, the results of practice can't stop the torment of regret.
The last person I ever loved is about to die...
Muban knew the outcome, but he refused to believe it; he didn't want to admit that he was the one who killed his daughter.
The undead population was growing at a completely different rate than before; they seemed to be multiplying in massive numbers, as if accelerated by something non-lethal.
The mages were exhausted and their injuries were worsening; they desperately prayed for a unlikely rescue.
"What's going on? Why have there suddenly become so many monsters?"
"Could it be that the energy swallowed by the giant kelp monster on the other side was transmitted here, causing more undead to be resurrected?"
"There's no time to think nonsense anymore. The Mage Guild can't be defended any longer. Get the wounded out of here quickly!"
The last line of defense was breached by the undead army. The houses that humans had painstakingly built were reduced to rubble by a large wave of monsters. They continued to attack until all life was dragged into death.
The busiest medical room is on the verge of collapse, with severe shortages of medicine and manpower causing many people to suffer needlessly.
The undead army is attacking, and in the distance, skeletal behemoths are clashing with the earth elementals. Humanity can only fend for itself.
"Hang in there, just a little longer, we'll get you to safety soon!"
"Keep up, everyone must keep up, don't fall behind, help those around you as much as possible, and let's work together to get out of here."
In the chaotic and fearful streets, only Elifa was shouting encouraging words.
In this night shrouded in darkness, where light is absent and heroes are few and far between, no one is spared in the face of disaster.
"Are you okay? Can you hold on? Don't be too scared, I'm here to help you."
The mage, whose entire arm was bitten by an undead, was brought here by his companions. Elifa rushed forward to check on him and used her remaining healing magic to treat the warrior's wounds.
Although her magic wasn't as magical as Yongyi Chunjing's, Elifa still did her best to help others alleviate their suffering.
"Run! Those monsters are charging!"
Even more terrifying than the panicked cries of the distant sorcerers was the horrifying roar of the horde of undead pressing in.
Ruthless, heartless, cruel, and insane monsters filled with the aura of death rampage through the streets. Seeing so many lives to harvest, each undead is overjoyed.
I can't wait to see what shape the heart is hidden inside these vibrant lives.
Without a moment's hesitation, a mage stopped fleeing, turned and charged towards the undead army, detonating all the magic on his body to bombard the street along with himself.
His selfless dedication resulted in a flame that consumed his life, a flame ignited by the breath of life that kept the dead at bay. The hero successfully bought everyone precious, albeit brief, time to escape.
"No, no...why, why..."
Elifa witnessed this tragedy unfold before her own eyes; this tragedy should never have happened.
If she had the same strength as the hero, she could drive away those monsters;
If she possessed the same magical powers as Yongyi Chunjing, then he could save countless more people.
One successful obstruction leads to more imitations of that success, and the flame of life quickly burns out, while the flame lit to save the masses is reignited.
The undead want to slaughter life, but are also terrified of the breath of life.
Living beings fear the threat of death, yet they overcome its ferocity in order to be reborn.
Elifa remembers them; they were all warriors who protected everyone from the beginning to the end.
Muban remembered each and every one of them. Most of them were warriors who had been protecting everyone for ten years. They had survived the alien invasion ten years ago, and they had accompanied him through the hardships of the past ten years.
Those magicians are all mortals, just like me and everyone else. They have their own interests and hobbies, their own joys and sorrows, their own families, and their own people they want to love for the rest of their lives.
Muban knew that he had killed them; he had once again created a disaster caused by greed, and he had let everyone down.
Elifa cried. She wept with her head bowed. She dared not look up, afraid that if she did, she would see someone else dying.
Why, why is the world so unfair?
Can't I just give myself a chance, give myself the strength to save those innocent people...?

"Do you want power?"
Elifa suddenly heard a familiar call from the depths of her being, very clear, yet it felt so distant.
Elifa's eyes were blurry as she saw Luo Yi's shadow in front of her. It was a light that seemed to be visible only to her. Elifa felt as if she and Luo Yi were separated by life and death.
"Brother... are you going to leave me too...?"
The girl, her voice choked with sobs and tears glistening in her eyes, sat slumped between life and death, her hair disheveled.
"I can give you power, give you a chance to save the world, but you will become a monster like me, and you won't even be able to go back to your former life. Are you willing?"
Elifa reached out her hand and received the power from Luo Yi. Then, in that radiance, a brave monster was born.
A young girl gave her life in exchange for the chance to save the world.
Muban would never agree to such an exchange, but he had no choice but to watch helplessly as his daughter faced the demon king who could destroy the world.
She's your sister!!!
"She's your sister..."
She cried out again and again, but no one knew; she endured it all alone.
