There is absolutely nothing wrong with my magic cards!

It's like a dream, but not like a dream.

Because in dreams, it is often not so clear to doubt the authenticity of one's own perception at the first moment.

"...?"

Looking around, Durkan noticed one thing.

His hand was inexplicably light, and when he raised his palm, he even felt that it was somewhat transparent, through which he could see starlight.

This feeling is almost like a spirit body...

In other words, this is a spirit body at all!

In other words, did he die with the God of Life, Xina, in the battle just now?

Durkan struggled to make sense of the situation.

Finally, in [Unreal Enchantment], Sisina couldn't bear 3 times the pain and chose to commit suicide, and Durkan saw the message that the mission objective [-] was successfully completed in a hazy consciousness.

Then this time the Ninth-Rank Shadow World should be successfully completed.

None of the three missions in Shadow World has the requirement that the challenger must survive to the end.

Dekan, who has been blessed by the Goddess of Reincarnation and Fate from the beginning, will remain a ghost until the end of Shadow World if he dies in battle.

So logically speaking, he only needs to wait until the end of the movie world.

But where is this?

The only thing Durcan didn't understand was that after he and Lun won the tragic victory, the illusory barrier should also be lifted.

Even if he becomes a ghost, he should still appear in the palace of the holy capital.

"..."

"Having said that, I always feel that I miss this place very much."

Durkan looked around again, for some reason, his eyes were suddenly attracted by this picture scroll-like starry sky, and he couldn't help raising his head and sighing.

There is always an inexplicable feeling, as if I have been here before...

"Yup!"

Thinking about it this way, Durkan realized that if DeLois had made the same choice as him.

He sacrificed himself to protect the Holy Nation and his friends.

Then it is likely that Delois also came to this place after his death.

Durkan wanted to take another look at this dying place, which was so beautiful that it didn't seem to belong to the world.

The dark water below the feet reflected the starry sky above, but gradually a blurred light was reflected.

Behind Durkan, appear, approach.

Durkan immediately turned around.

Only one figure was seen holding a lamp in his hand.

She is wearing a long bodice with a hood covering her eyes.

Surprised.

Durkan knew who that was by now, even without thinking too much about it.

"Master Tike Goddess..."

Durkan bowed his head slightly, and performed the priestly salute to the goddess.

Although he didn't know if it was appropriate for him to call himself a priest, since he has always been the guidance and favor of the goddess, and also gave him protection, then he should be regarded as her priest.

【…】

The goddess did not respond to Durkan.

But Durkan can probably feel that if the other party does not deny it, then it is right.

This familiar feeling of being able to understand the attitude of the other party without words made Durkan suddenly pause in his thoughts.

Unknowingly, there seemed to be a vision-like picture revived in his mind.

——He did come under this starry sky before!Under the guidance of this goddess.

Waiting for Durkan to sort out her thoughts, the goddess turned around and walked in the direction where she had just appeared.

However, Durkan was still in doubt and did not ask a question, and his footsteps had already moved first.

This unconditional trust seems to exceed thinking.

"Master Goddess, should I follow you?"

【…】

The other party seemed to be a taciturn god.

Or knowing that Durkan understands everything without saying a word.

She just keeps going.

Durkan followed behind her and didn't say any more.

He didn't feel indifference from the other party, on the contrary, it seemed to be confirming and considering whether he could keep up with her footsteps, full of her care and love.

While walking in such silence, Durkan found out by accident.

Floating in the distant night sky are not stars, but a world that seems to contain countless universes, countless stars and planets, slowly moving and evolving like a star map on a huge celestial globe.

Durkan is convinced that his mental strength has grown stronger.

Perhaps it was the enlarged perception that was freed from the shackles of the flesh, allowing him to clearly understand everything.

Occasionally, small shimmering sparks danced between the galaxies approaching each other, and then plunged into the galaxies on the other side.

The light was obviously very weak, but somehow it didn't make Durkan feel ethereal and empty, but instead had a powerful feeling.

"That is......"

Durkan seemed to be talking to himself, looking at the starry sky in the distance with dazed eyes.

Even the goddess has not answered any of his words so far.

He still asked inadvertently.

【—The flow of souls is fate and reincarnation. 】

The goddess answered.

But Durkan somehow wasn't surprised.

There is always a premonition that the other party will answer him this time.

"It turns out that the soul... just flows around like this."

Durkan looked up at the starry sky, and saw again a dazzling little spark floating from a world.

Light and fluttering, like it will go out at any time, but full of pulse, it flies to another world in a flash.

Countless worlds like a starry sky, and countless souls shuttling through life and death in them, are like the beating of a heart.

Repeatedly and continuously.

Every spark seems to be a blessing from the heavens, flowing like time, until they gather together, rushing forward to the sky and even beyond with the brilliant starlight.

Durkan thought it was a scene so beautiful that it made one's heart tense.

But compared to amazement, it is more of nostalgic emotion.

"Goddess, is this the second time we have met?"

Durkan asked as if confirming with the goddess.

【…】

After continuing to walk for a few steps, Goddess Tim finally stopped, not intending to take Dekan forward.

She gently raised her hand and pointed in one direction.

As if to indicate, the answer is there.

Durkan looked at the past as the goddess pointed.

next second.

It was as if the lights suddenly illuminated the night sky, and then suddenly went out and dimmed.

When the line of sight recovers again.

Durkan saw himself and the goddess standing in the darkness.

But it is different from the previous dimly dotted bright starry world.

Here, Durkan is all too familiar with the darkness and the sound of the rain——

He returned to the dark night of the holy capital.

Moreover, after he and Lun had finished the battle against Sisina!

On the ruins of the imperial palace in the distance, there were two figures lying down.

The Holy Maiden of Light has already arrived. She should have been waiting outside the illusory barrier long ago, waiting for Lun and the powerful enemy to decide the outcome.

At this moment, she was trying to rescue and call for Lun.

She was pretty sure that Len wasn't dead, that he had ended the fight before his life ran out.

It's just that the state of his body is too abnormal. It seems that the magic circuit that has been built for a long time is being forcibly reversed by an unreasonable rule. In order to adapt to this extreme change, Lun fell into a deep sleep like a coma, and no matter how much he screamed, he couldn't wake him up.

Those who fell on the ground on the other side were not humans.

It was a creature that would never dare to appear here—a demon!

In his half-opened and half-closed eyes, the golden devil hole seemed to be almost extinguished.

The surrounding knights surrounded him with great vigilance, keeping a distance from him.

Even a dying demon.

There are also many non-commissioned officers who have strong hostility towards the demons.
