’Is this it?’
’Finally, after so long.’
The thoughts echoed through Morgaine’s pitch-dark world.
The feeling of coldness was starting to seep in—an aura she was familiar with, having been opened to it a couple hundred times now—started appearing within her.
But this time, its grasp was more solid on her than ever.
It was the Grasp of Death!
One which she had evaded more than hundreds of times. Now, finally, it was here, and somehow, it brought relief to her.
For the world had been dulled and lifeless ever since…
’Yes. It’s him…’
Amidst the darkness, blue shattered crystals began appearing once more, a sight that had assaulted her every night.
And it revealed none other than a snow-white-haired figure.
One could say he was the one who had brought light into her world.
For how could she explain the fact that the world had dulled ever since the truth of her never seeing him again had settled in her.
A feeling of helplessness had consumed her, one that could only be drowned out by throwing herself into battle—endless fights meant to numb the pain of his absence.
For every thought of him sent her heart into an ache worse than even the pain of death.
But now, it would all finally end.
The pain, the dulled world, his existence, the joy, and the misery he brought with him. It would all finally end as her life came to an end.
"May I take your silence for a yes? You agree to be my wife, little fallen?"
The voice echoed in her head—one she felt so utterly disgusting that, from nowhere, a bit of power surged upon her.
She forced her eyes open, staring at that detestable face.
Then, slowly, her lips moved.
"Huh?"
The Dracgoblin King wondered as he leaned his ears closer to her lips.
And then, he clearly heard the words—
"Fuuu…ck… y…ou!"
Immediately, a crimson aura burst out of the Dracgoblin King’s existence as unbridled rage settled into him.
Slowly, he rose to his feet, picking up Morgaine with his hands, which wrapped around her head, squeezing.
"I gave you a way through to life, but you insisted on going to hell."
"You clearly don’t deserve the gift of life. So die then!"
His grasp tightened—tighter and tighter—around Morgaine’s head.
The sound of a slowly cracking skull rang out, loud and clear, before—
BUUUUUUUURRRRRSSSST!
A heavy explosion resounded, and then…
THUUUUUUMP!
A body dropped unceremoniously to the ground.
’Ryuk.’
That was her last thought as her world finally darkened completely.
But then, her consciousness shook violently as she realized something.
Slowly, she felt the heat on her face.
’Wait, if my head was burst open, then why do I feel sensation on my face?’
The realization came upon her, and she forced one of her eyes open, only to find the sight of a large, headless figure before her.
Blood spurted out uncontrollably, a head barely held by the strands of its neck bone.
A completely burst head, which she instantly recognized as belonging to the Dracgoblin King.
’Ho…how?’
The thought echoed in her mind in shock.
She ought to be the one gone.
So why… why was the Goblin King now the one lying dead, with a lost head…?
But then—
STEP… STEP…
She could hear the sound of footsteps as something came into view—a blurry face that slowly crouched to her level.
The world was starting to really dim, and her eyes were slipping from her control.
Yet, she felt it.
A familiar aura that sent shock through her spine.
But she barely registered it before her body finally gave in, collapsing completely.

’Hey, System,’ Ryuk commanded as he crouched before Morgaine’s bloody figure.

The System asked, and Ryuk nodded without hesitation.

Immediately, a pill with bizarre runic green lines carved over it appeared in Ryuk’s grasp.
With a look at it, Ryuk slowly passed it into Morgaine’s mouth, maneuvering her jaw to make it go down her throat before taking her into his grasp.
Looking behind him, he sighted the figure of Arthur, whose eyes remained locked in shock at the Dracgoblin King’s corpse beneath Ryuk’s feet.

It was unbelievable to Arthur.
In fact, had he not seen it with his own eyes, he would have doubted it was even possible.
’He shattered the head of a Peak Dominion Stage Dracgoblin King with nothing but a palm squeeze!?’
Arthur had watched as Ryuk’s figure had blazed through the Dimensional Gate after they had both entered.
And when he had barely caught up to him, he saw the sight of the Dracgoblin King holding up Morgaine by her head, preparing to crush it.
But then—
Ryuk had appeared behind him, almost invisible, and had also wrapped his hands around the Dracgoblin King’s head—crushing it—before the monster could crush Morgaine’s.
A Peak Stage Dracgoblin King wasn’t something even an Initial Catacylysm Stage Expert would ever hope to defeat.
Much less crush its head into paste in less than a second!
After all, Interdimensional Beings were known to be always stronger than cultivators far above their cultivation stage.
But he had watched Ryuk do it—
Almost as casually as breathing.
"Let’s leave arthur."
The voice resonated in his head, bringing him out of his shocked state as he felt a figure pass by him, slowly heading to the exit.
Looking at Ryuk’s back, with Morgaine nestled in his arms, sweat unconsciously dripped down from Arthur’s forehead.
But he resumed his walk, the thoughts echoing in his head—
’Everyone thinks Morgaine is the weirdest and most powerful genius among the Third Years… But compared to him!?’
’It… it’s unbelievable… Just how… How can a human reach this level of power!?’
’Or is it the power of that dark energy?’
’Just what are you, Ryuk…?’
