Chapter 49 Flames and Embrace

"You have killed a Level 200 Demon Brewster Clone above your Rank, gaining a total of [Experience Points + 1 billion]!"

"Your Rank has increased (Rank 74 → Rank 104), All Attributes + 12544, Free Attribute Points + 12544!"

"You have picked up the loot dropped by the Demon Clone — [Gold Coins + 100]!"

"You have activated [Gold - Eater is King] to devour a Demon Clone. Congratulations on obtaining — [Mental Energy + 3000], [Physique + 2200], [Lv9. Death Scythe], [Lv9. Demon Contract], [Lv9. Shadow Kill]!"

Mu An clenched his fist, feeling power surging throughout his entire body.

With one punch, it felt like he could kill ten thousand little kunzi!

So...

[Thanks again to the old geezer Weird Tai Sui and Demon Brewster for sending this big experience package!]

"Oi, Elena, we should go!"

Mu An called out.

The Weird Tai Sui was done for, but there were still a bunch of 'experience packages' left behind.

Although they might not compare to the Weird Tai Sui and Demon Brewster, every little bit adds up, and devouring them would still provide a small boost.

"Oh... Oh!"

To the side.

Elena was still in a dazed state.

Mainly because the situation had changed too quickly.

The Level 200 Demon Brewster Clone, which had been acting all high and mighty just a moment ago, calling for death and destruction, had turned into roadkill in the next second.

It didn't even have the chance to strike before it 'died suddenly' on the spot, leaving no bones behind.

If she hadn't personally felt the terrifying aura of the opponent, Elena would definitely have thought she was dreaming!

Even more terrifying was this man.

Holding the truth in his hand, one shot later.

No matter what Rank you are, you'll die if it says you should die!

True equality for all living things!

...

And at the same time Mu An took out the Weird Tai Sui.

The battlefield on Nina and Renée's side also came to an end.

The Weird Tai Sui Clone controlling Yaer's body sensed the death of its main body.

Knowing that it, too, was about to perish, it immediately fell into an even more frenzied state.

The 'magma cracks' all over its body became increasingly dense, and the crimson flames gradually engulfed the young girl's delicate body.

Burning everything, destroying everything.

Determined to go down together!

"Ah—"

"Damn... monster, get... out... of my body!!"

It's unknown what special condition was triggered.

Yaer seemed to have briefly 'come back to life'.

While holding her head in pain, she gritted her teeth and shouted.

She even actively let the flames burn higher in order to fight for control of her body.

Her flesh was burning crazily, her Soul was burning crazily, and her life was burning crazily...

Finally.

The Weird Tai Sui Clone, whose main body had died, was the first to be unable to hold on.

Despite its unwillingness, it was completely erased in the raging flames.

Yaer regained control of her own body.

It's just a pity that this was a tragic battle with her own body as the battlefield.

The flames had long since scorched everything into a devastated state.

Now, the fuel was exhausted, leaving only a few embers.

"Sister Yaer!!!"

Seeing this scene, Nina's tears couldn't help but spill over, gushing out.

She ran towards Sister Yaer regardless of anything.

Not caring if the flames would burn her, she hugged the other tightly.

It seemed that through this, she could vent all the longing she had felt during the days Sister Yaer had been gone.

Looking at the girl's current appearance, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Yaer's gray eyes.

"You... have grown... up... huh..."

"Sister Yaer! I miss you so much! Really, really miss you!! Wuu wuu wuu—"

Nina wailed, hugging Yaer even tighter.

The seemingly scorching flames didn't burn her as expected.

On the contrary, they were unexpectedly warm, just like the warm embrace Yaer had given her when she first picked her up and brought her home.

Everything felt like it was just yesterday!

"Don't... cry..."

Yaer reached out a trembling hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Nina's eyes.

"Sister Renée, please save Sister Yaer!"

"Don't you know healing magic? Please! I'll do anything!"

Seeming to think of something, Nina pleaded with Renée, who had followed up at some unknown time, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Renée fell silent.

Anyone could see Yaer's current situation; death was inevitable.

It was unknown when the consciousness of this remnant Soul would dissipate.

It could be after a sentence, or it could be when a light breeze passed by.

But she still used her healing magic to the best of her ability, and the emerald green light representing life sprinkled onto Yaer's body.

Those 'cracks' seemed to have improved in an instant, but it was still to no avail.

Yaer also knew she was destined not to live.

She was already a dead person to begin with.

It was only because she had broken free from the Weird Tai Sui's control that she had temporarily lingered in the world.

Regarding this, Yaer didn't feel too afraid; she calmly accepted her death, only still having some worries about Nina in her heart.

"Sister Yaer, don't go, okay?"

"Little Nina... Little Nina still has so, so many stories she wants to tell you!"

"I'm following the boss now, he's a super great person!"

"Not only did he save Little Nina's life, but he also provided me with a life of free food and housing."

"Oh right, I even transmigrated to the real world with him."

"There are so, so many kinds of delicious food there, you can't finish them no matter how much you eat, there's no war, no monsters, and no one discriminates against us demi-humans..."

The girl kept sobbing, her face streaked with tears, her words intermittent.

"Lit... tle... Nina... live... well... on..."

Hearing these words, Yaer, whose consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, gradually set her heart at ease.

A smile appeared on her face.

Then she closed her eyes peacefully in Nina's embrace.

Their meeting began with an embrace.

And the parting also ended with an embrace.

Perhaps, for Yaer, this was already the most perfect ending.

The next instant.

Bang—

Yaer's delicate body turned into flames filling the sky, little stars.

Gradually disappearing into this labyrinth where she had lived and fought for a lifetime.

Just like her life, as hot as flames, and ultimately dying in the flames.

The scarlet spear was stuck diagonally in the ground.

The banner on it, which had long been damaged beyond repair, was fluttering gently in the wind, as if it were also silently seeing off its master.

Nina's eyes were red, her tears seemingly already run dry.

Like a child, she looked blankly at the now empty embrace in her arms.

"Nina..."

Renée wanted to say something but hesitated, words stuck in her throat.

There is nothing more painful than witnessing the passing of a loved one with one's own eyes.

Perhaps Yaer was not Nina's relative by blood.

But in the girl's heart, the other was already her true family!

"Sister Renée, I... I'm fine!"

"I will live on well, carrying Sister Yaer's share... together!!"

Looking at the scarlet spear that stood as straight as a pine on a cliff, Nina wiped her tear stains hard.

While her voice became a bit hoarse, her eyes also gained a bit more firmness.
