The sky is dominated by thick clouds, like a canvas painted with gray oil paint.

Cloudy days can be inexplicably sad, but such weather may be perfect for funerals.

On the outskirts of the temporary capital of the Republic of All Nations is a low mountain full of purple flowers, and at this moment, many important people in the country are gathering on this nameless low mountain.

The Republican Emperor Kirgaru stood in the center of the crowd, and behind him were a group of monsters such as Marosas, Geaus, Sack, and Esles. On the right are King Korod of the Duchy of Basol, Prime Minister Ossaith, and Captain of the Guard, Arebak. On the left are Dorasha, Queen of the Kingdom of Ververa, Captain Kaia, Captain of the Guard, Commander Elriku, Commander of the Spy Doro, and Commander Spartacus of Melee Troops. As for the escort troops of various countries, they waited 500 meters away from the low mountain.

Lanka and Kilo, relatives of the deceased, stood opposite Kilgaru and the others, their expressions as cloudy as the weather.

Dressed in black and holding white flowers for the deceased, they silently watched as the coffins containing the bodies of Anglia and Nina were placed in the cemetery.

The sound of sobbing can be heard from time to time, and after the coffin is put into the ground, everyone throws flowers in their hands to the cemetery one by one, so as to silently tell the grief in their hearts.

Of course, no one present except Kilgaru knew that there was actually nothing in Nina's coffin.

Even though it was cloudy, and the sunlight falling from the clouds was almost minimal, Nina felt as if she was burning.

The breathing of flowers and trees, the irregular trail of the breeze blowing in front of you, and the things that you once couldn't hear or see can now be felt very clearly.

The whole world became delicate, but Nina had no intention of watching it, and she staggered towards the low mountain.

By the time she arrived at the low mountain, the entire funeral had already ended, and the people who had come to mourn had long since left the cemetery.

The weeping wind swept through the purple flowers that filled the mountains, and the fragrant fragrance of the flowers surrounded the tombstones made of dark rock.

Death is a lonely thing.

Nina felt her heart twitch violently because there was still a person kneeling in the empty cemetery, beneath her cold tombstone.

Because of the long period of insomnia and pain, his face looked extremely haggard, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden, but even so, Nina recognized the other party at a glance.

That's right, the person who is still alone in the cemetery at the moment is none other than Lanka.

He looked at the rock in front of him with lifeless, empty eyes, as if waiting for his lover to wake up again.

"Lanka!"

Nina let out a faint sound that was almost choked up from her throat and took a step forward.

Suddenly, an electric current was transmitted from her churning stomach to her brain, and the fierce emotion made her want to hug Lanka tightly. However, this strong emotion is by no means for lovers, but for the desire for blood.

"No, no!"

Nina stepped back with her arms crossed, and although her beloved lover was in front of her, she must not throw herself into the other's arms.

Because she is no longer human, but a bloodthirsty monster with a thirst for human blood.

Lanka was less than two hundred meters in front of him, but it was an insurmountable distance for Nina, the distance between the living and the dead. Nina could only weep as she watched from afar at the man who was suffering from her death.

"Lord Lanka!"

Just then, a gentle voice intervened.

Perhaps because he didn't see Lanka, Kaiya, who was a little worried in her heart, returned to the cemetery.

Lanka didn't respond to Kaeya's words, still kneeling there motionless like a stone statue.

"Lord Lanka, people can't be resurrected after death, and I ask you to mourn and change."

Kaeya crouched down beside Lanka, comforting with a sad expression.

Kaiya and Nina didn't actually know each other, they had only been neighbors in the port city of Sivaram for a few days, so the sadness in her heart at the moment was not because of Nina's death, but because of something else.

For some reason, seeing Lanka's painful appearance, Kaiya felt extremely heartache.

Maybe even she doesn't know when she first fell in love with Lanka.

The emotions that he had tried to suppress when he learned that Lanka already had a sweetheart were rekindled after learning of Nina's sudden death.

"First my father, then Nina, all the people I hold dear are dead, and in the end I can't save anyone."

Lanka's fingers dug deep into the dirt beneath him, and he said sadly.

"No, no, you saved me."

Hearing Lanka's self-pitying words, Kaiya hurriedly said, then her cheeks turned red, and she quickly lowered her head and added in a weakened tone.

"Also...... And also...... Lots of other people ......"

"If only I had been here at that time, if I couldn't save Nina, at least I could die with her, now, what am I living for!"

As if he hadn't heard Kaeya's words, Lanka muttered as if to himself.

Desperate Lanka made Kaeya feel heartache and annoyance, and she threw a punch at Lanka.

"Lanka! You cheer me up! This country, the people under your jurisdiction, everyone needs you! Even if it's to avenge Nina, you should cheer up! ”

Due to the lack of food or sleep for the past few days, Lanka's body has become very weak, so Kaeya's fists are not strong, but they still knock his tall body to the ground.

"Revenge! Yes, I have to make myself stronger, I have to avenge Nina! ”

This time Lanka finally reacted to Kaiya's words, and his eyes became firm again.

"Why, aren't you going over? Didn't you come to see him? ”

Franlot's voice suddenly rang in Nina's ears.

After becoming a vampire, Nina's perception ability has been greatly enhanced, and she can accurately perceive any movement within a meter of her side, but she has no idea when Farranlot came to her side.

"I just have to watch him from afar, after all, the Nina of the past is dead."

Nina looked at Franlot beside her and replied in a calm tone, then she pondered for a moment before continuing.

"Can you teach me how to fight with this body?"

"Oh? Yes, but my training is so harsh that I might make you die again. ”

The corners of Franlot's mouth curled slightly.

"It's okay, so let's start now!"

Nina turned around and left the cemetery without looking back.

That's it, that's it, Lanka, it's my turn to protect you this time!

She swore inwardly.

Meanwhile, in the temporary royal capital, Kilgaru and Cecia stood side by side on the balcony looking out at the sky in the distance. Cecia leaned on Kilgaru's shoulder, her innocent smile like that of a little girl in love.

Whenever Cecia is around, Kilgaru always feels extremely relieved and happy, but when he gazes at Cecia's beautiful face, his heart is plunged into fear like never before.

Although he knew that Cecia in front of him had unimaginable power, he still wanted to do his best to protect her, maybe this is a man's desire to protect.

"Now, Xixi, can you help me with my cultivation? I want to be stronger! ”

Hearing Kilgaru's request, Cecia looked a little surprised.

"You're already strong, and no one can hurt you with me."

"No, it's not enough, I want to have stronger power, to have power that can protect everyone, to have power that can protect you!"

Although the skeleton's expression did not change, for some reason Cecia always felt that Kirgaru had a determination that people could not refuse.

"I see, I can help you, but you have to come back to Othdra with me."

Cecia nodded at Kilgaru and replied with a serious expression.
