Facing Cole, who had a "you're crazy" expression on his face, Paz suddenly laughed.

Paz was actually a little surprised, that cold-hearted Cerberus could also be the current Path.

But there seems to be no surprise, all this is predestined.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Leah had said before she fell asleep.

At that time.

The black-haired girl turned her head and stood in place staring at herself, like a quietly blooming flower standing there, slim.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that the soft gaze was a vine climbing in the dark, a demon plant that drank blood and flesh.

Wielding black branches and leaves, slowly winding, tightening themselves and sucking them into the blood of the bones, turning into nutrients for flowers.

And themselves, willingly.

"Paz."

She shouted the name, which had been meaningless, and her clear voice carried a gratuitous smile, and a sweet smell lingered in the smile.

Even with that name, it brings with it the feeling of being loved.

"Wait until I wake up."

"Let's go to Ciovisa."

She smiled, her eyes shining with anticipation, falling in small pieces, like a flowing Milky Way.

"With Roselle, let's go to the Theowessa you said as a family of three, and do whatever you want, as long as you're always by my side."

How did I answer at that time?

I said yes and happily agreed.

I'm sorry, Leah, for breaking your heart.

But in your heart, it's better for me to die, and I don't want you to mix me as Paz with that Cerberus.

Whether it is the joy of seeing you, the grief of parting, or the memory of being together, it is all mine, not Cerberus.

"Cole, gouge out my eyes."

— I want you to remember that I'm just Paz.

"Then give eyes to Leah and tell her that I'm dead."

— I want you to remember me.

……

Yan Wan did not really inherit his own memories in the past, and there was no record of everything in the past except for straight materials. Those last memories are forever left in that shattered illusion.

She knew everything, but apart from that one trip to the illusion, there was no more immersive experience. I can't really empathize with the grief of my past self.

It is known only from the records.

"She" was very lonely and really tired, she was tired of parting, and came to a new world, where the road ahead was wide and visible, and there was no one to look around.

Even the goal of the effort has dissipated.

So "she" chose to sleep, and it was the ignorant her who woke up again.

It's like seeing flowers in the fog, people's joys and sorrows are never connected, and she can only vaguely perceive those despair and poignancy through the paper.

"Paz is dead......"

Yan Wan bent his fingertips, looked at the silver-haired young man's lips and closed his lips attentively, as if he had listened, but he couldn't help but suspect that she didn't seem to understand.

But in the end she just took the gray bead and said incredibly calmly, "I see."

"I'm going to see him...... Where to die. ”

Yan Wan, who broke the seal and gained his memory, finally knew what kind of power he had.

With the power of man, the power of heaven, this is a move to steal the sky and change the sun, and she is called a witch.

However, the backlash is great.

Thus was born the ritual of deceiving the rules.

The incantation is the introduction, the ritual is the form, the power of the witch is real, and the unity of the three is true, and its power can be used without being counterattacked.

"The stars are moving."

Yan Wan pondered silently, recalling the content of this ceremony.

[The sky is high and hangs an open door. 】

[The moon-white river pours down.] 】

The open door represents the stars and a fixed anchor, and the river represents the power of the pouring stars.

And this relic under Yan Wan's feet is the planet itself, and now only her will is supreme, just her mind moves, and the power of the planet itself pours out, all of which are in the palm of her hand.

[The anchor is thrown out of the hands of the traveler who has no return.] 】

[Stir up a wave of white spray.] 】

The traveler represents the user, and the anchor represents another anchor that can be moved, for the person being used for the ritual.

Yan Wan's fingers loosely held the gray clear beads, and closed his eyes to find the same breath.

[Sparkling in the waves.] 】

[The traveler has found his way. 】

She found a familiar aura on a planet not far away, ethereal and weak, and farther away, a stronger one.

Yan Wan went to the nearby planet first.

The wind was like a knife, the air was full of poisonous gases, the dark sky could not show a single light, and the ground under his feet was barren and dry, oppressive like a cage without light.

This is a planet with a very harsh ecology.

In this desert, the girl stood alone in the wind, unmoving.

Her gaze was gently cast in front of her, the land that had been slightly rich because it had been moistened by blood.

A trace of blood scarlet qi floated out of it, and it was quickly swallowed up by the greedy wind.

Yan Wan felt a fear that was close to creepy as she climbed up her spine, all the way to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, making her close to stopping thinking.

She called softly, slowly, as if for help.

"Pass......"

But this call can only be dissipated in vain in the air, and will not receive any response.

Only the wind still howled.

After a long time, she squatted down tremblingly, reaching out to piece together the blood-stained sand.

This small puddle of sand was rough and inhuman, and there was a dull blood color, and it was not at all obvious that it had been a complete human form, and it no longer even had a familiar smell.

There is only a disgusting fishy smell.

In silence, she gave up the useless act and fumbled for the gray bead from her bosom.

The beautiful gray eyes that were once full of gentle gaze have turned into a clear bead, lying quietly in the center of the three main lines in the palm of the palm.

Tears finally poured out, and Yan Wan had to admit that Paz died like this.

The one who responded to her expectations, became gentle and reliable, and volunteered to be the most beautiful puppet she could control.

Without her permission.

Died without warning and quietly in this barren place.

Through the water, everything she saw in front of her was strange.

It dawned on her that the loss had been what it had been like.

"Home...... Without. ”

I promised to go to Theowessa together, but I deceived me and died in this kind of place.

The girl's condensed tears fell down one after another, wetting the gray beads and soaking the black soil mixed with blood.

At this moment, she felt that the loneliness and grief that came from the attack were like a lake rising inch by inch.

And she, heavily soaked in it, could not escape the waterboarding that was about to drown her with all her strength.

can only fall slowly in despair.
