Chapter 86: Revive, Mucus’s Avatar
Inside the camp in the dense forest.
Kalian’s wounds slowly began to heal, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her face became a little rosy.
"Is it worth it?"
The voice of her clone sounded beside Skuld.
"Hmph, I don’t care if it’s worth it. She saved the master, so I must save her."
Skuld tilted her lips.
"But if you don’t save her, won’t your wish come true? The wicked woman who stole your master’s heart will disappear forever."
Mucus Avatar continued to speak.
"But… if that happens, my master will be sad, and I don’t want my master to be sad."
Skuld bit her lip, but she did not stop her actions.
"Well then, goodbye, my true self." The form of the clone gradually changed into Mucus, slipping into Kalian’s body, and slowly merging with her.
"I’m sorry, I just created you."
"No need to apologize, I told you, I am you, and you are me." The voice of the clone became quieter, "By the way, Skuld, you… are becoming more and more like a human."
"…"
Finally, the form of Mucus Avatar completely vanished.
She fixed Kalian’s body and joined with Kalian in a way that was unconscious and harmonious.
Yes, it was an unconscious harmony, not a devouring.
Skuld did not eat and absorb Kalian like she did with the other bad women; instead, she allowed Kalian to come back to life, at the cost of one of her own forms, while still keeping her own will.
To be honest, this was much more complicated and difficult than just absorbing her.
After Kalian came back to life, she would exist between human and Mucus, like one of Skuld’s forms, but she would not have the power to devour other bad women, nor would she have to follow Skuld’s orders.
There was only one thing that was strictly forbidden—harm Leo.
Thankfully, Skuld had created one of her forms earlier; otherwise, it would have been impossible to save Kalian now.
Because of this, she permanently lost the ability to create that form and needed to gather more strength to create little Skuld again.
After doing all this, Skuld finally curled up with her knees against the bed and mumbled.
Feeling a faint sense of familiarity from Kalian, she couldn’t help but sigh.
"Who is becoming more like a human? What is so good about being human?"
"Ah, ah, ah! The more I think about it, the angrier I get!"
"Why should I use my own power to save you, you wicked woman!"
……
To the west of the camp.
Saintess Fleur, dressed in pure white, walked barefoot on the muddy and uneven path. Sharp stones scratched her delicate, tender feet, and the pouring rain made her silver hair cling tightly to her forehead.
The barefoot ritual is performed by the Order Sect when worshipping the God of Order.
Its meaning is that I listen to the Lord’s wishes with an honest and bare body and mind.
So, with blood as her guide, the Saintess Fleur, hands clasped in prayer, finally arrived at the gravestone of the Divine Knight Lennon.
It was a very simple gravestone, made from pieces of wood and stone, with no carved inscription and no engraved symbol of order on it.
Even simpler than this gravestone was Lennon’s coffin.
The coffin, made from ordinary trees, could not withstand the pouring rain.
This warrior, who gave everything for the victory of humanity and for the life of his daughter, was soaked by the rain.
Fortunately, his strong body and the lingering Light of Order around him protected him, allowing him to retain his appearance from life, looking vibrant and alive.
The necklace symbolizing his bond with his daughter was held in his hand, rested on his chest, as if only this could bring peace to his soul.
"How ugly you are, Knight Lennon," Fleur said as she approached the coffin, looking down at her father, "So close to our lord, yet still unable to gain His power."
"Ha! If you had given your all in devotion to our lord, you would not be lying here now."
"What an ugly man he is."
Saying this, Fleur undid the first button of her robe.
A crack opened below her smooth collarbone, and dozens of tentacles stretched out, swirling around and grabbing Lennon’s lifeless body.
At the ends of the tentacles, mouths filled with sharp teeth appeared, biting and swallowing Knight Lennon’s body one piece at a time.
The fading Light of Order began to scatter, like nutrients being drawn into the tentacles’ bodies.
No, it was not just the light of order, but also Lennon’s soul.
"The oath-breaker cannot find eternal life. You do not deserve to go to heaven to serve my Lord; you will become my nourishment, Lennon." Saintess Fleur, who had always been expressionless, showed an unprecedented look of joy on her face.
She held her face in her hands, and a sickly red spread from the tiny blood vessels beneath her skin into her bright red eyes.
"Hehehe~ Yes, that’s it, exactly right, become my nourishment, become my power. I’m not full yet; I’m still so very hungry."
"Boom!"
The roaring sound of rushing lightning covered her mad and trembling laughter, but reflected her alien, tentacled body.
Amidst the thunder of electricity, Lennon’s body turned into a pile of torn flesh, devoured completely by his daughter.
All that was left was the necklace that held pictures of Lennon and Fleur.
The tentacles retracted into her body, and Saintess Fleur returned to her breathtaking beauty, untouched by the world. She held the necklace tightly in her hand, with a teasing smile on her lips.
"Father? Hehe."
"That was merely
The foolish relationship of a bygone era."
"Everyone should belong to our master; everyone, everyone!"
"Are you right, Leo? Ah… I can’t wait, I can’t wait to taste your flavor, White Knight Leo…"
Snap.
The necklace was crushed by Fleur, turning into powder and floating away with the wind.
The coffin rose into the air and was placed into a deep pit that had already been prepared.
Raindrops slowly slid down the simple tombstone, as thunder rolled, sounding like weeping and wailing.
……
Kalian had a dream.
In the dream, her father, mother, brother, and Leo left her one by one.
She desperately chased after their backs, but she couldn’t catch up to them.
She screamed Leo’s name with all her might, but no matter what, she could not wait for his reply.
It seemed as if all the sounds of the world had vanished, and the images of the world had also disappeared.
Only emptiness remained.
But at that moment, a thick black Mucus suddenly flooded into her world from nowhere.
The Mucus seemed to dislike her, yet it wrapped around her and comforted her.
It was very confusing, but Kalian truly felt this way.
So, she opened her mouth as the Mucus instructed.
The sound returned to her side.
"Kalian, Kalian, Kalian, Kalian Tersk!"
This is… Leo’s voice.
She opened her eyes…
