Chapter 1667: 455 Destruction and Reincarnation (Scar of the Dead Final Chapter)_5
Rheager had already been on the brink of death…
Upon hearing this,
Matthew furrowed his brow and said,
“What about the resurrection spell?”
“I rember you should have Scrolls for that, right?”
Mr. Zeller nodded and said,
...
“The problem lies right there.”
“Logically speaking, as long as the resurrection spell is used in ti, at most there might be minor issues with the brain, certainly not falling into the current state.”
“But when I imdiately went to find Rheager with the Scroll of resurrection after he was brought back, I discovered that his soul was no longer in his body!”
“Soone took the opportunity to steal his soul!”
“All I could do was preserve his physical body here, waiting for the day his soul would return—if there is such a day.”
Matthew imdiately said,
“Let try the soul summoning.”
Mr. Zeller tried to dissuade him,
“I’ve already had others try.”
“Your spells may be more sophisticated, but I don’t think the result would be much different.”
“You know, Rheager is a tiefling, and with people like that, once it involves the soul, things beco very complicated.”
“Because you don’t know how many high-level demons they’ve sold their souls to…”
At this point,
Mr. Zeller paused, a deep pain and helplessness flashing in his eyes:
“In other words,”
“the mont Rheager was on his deathbed, it’s possible that several contracts for soul retrieval from purgatory were triggered…”
“Although I do not know who took the opportunity to take Rheager away, I can still co up with a likely list.”
“The most probable is Glasia, the Demoness of Desire from the Third Layer of purgatory.”
Matthew suddenly realized,
“That’s the ancestor from the Blood Robes who once served but ultimately betrayed Mophisto, the Lust Demon Lord?”
“She’s Barthor’s daughter, isn’t she?”
Mr. Zeller nodded and continued,
“Normally, the souls of the Blood Robes’ kin return to the Red and Black Castle upon death.”
“It’s a covenant etched into their souls.”
“But Rheager was a bit rebellious; to stand out from the other mbers of the Blood Robes, he might have sold his soul a second ti to Glasia and others.”
“For the short term, I am not so worried about Rheager’s safety because I know that whoever abducted him, the goal is certainly to squeeze more advantages from either the Blood Robes or Rolling Stone City.”
“As long as the enemy has demands, we have the opportunity to act.”
“What I’m worried about is another mber of the Blood Robes…
Matthew sighed deeply.
By now, of course, he had co to understand:
“Sif?”
Mr. Zeller was equally filled with worry:
“I couldn’t stop her.”
“After what happened to Rheager, she went to purgatory alone.”
Matthew tensed up instantly:
“She’s gone to settle accounts with the Demoness of Desire?”
Mr. Zeller tried to console him,
“Don’t worry, even if Sif is furious, she’s not so reckless.”
“She knows she’s no match for the Demoness of Desire, so she didn’t imdiately seek trouble with Glacia.”
“But she did go to ‘Red and Black’.”
Red and Black.
That was the ancient castle of the Blood Robes.
Now controlled by Sif’s aunt, Lutisia.
Matthew took a deep breath.
Suddenly, he didn’t know what to say.
In recent tis,
he had encountered so many things that it seed like, ever since the Heavenly Mages had gone to the historical world, the gears of life had begun to spin violently.
The fall of Heavenly Family Palace.
The destruction of Lost Paradise.
The Dusk Disaster and the accident with Rheager, as well as Sif’s departure…
His thoughts beca sowhat chaotic.
“Sorry, it’s my responsibility,”
“If I had been there…”
Matthew said subconsciously.
Mr. Zeller grabbed Matthew’s shoulders with both hands.
His gaze carried a touch of sorrow, yet his tone remained firm,
“That’s not it.”
“Everyone knows you’ve done your utmost to protect our city.”
“Without you, Rolling Stone City would now be a vast ocean.”
“If you are to bla yourself for so accidents that occurred while you were away, wouldn’t that make our existence even more of a joke?”
“No one needs to take responsibility for such accidents.”
“You are the best guardian I have ever seen.”
Afterward,
his voice grew softer,
“I don’t know what you encountered in the trolls’ Ancient Sanctuary or how you faced the calamity without being able to help much.”
“I know you must have also gone through a lot of setbacks.”
“But now,”
“Both of us need to pull ourselves together. The disaster is over for now, but I’ve received word that there will be more disasters in the future.”
“We have so much more to do, Matthew.”
Matthew nodded.
He put those disordered thoughts behind him.
Then he asked in a deep voice,
“So, what’s the most important thing right now?”
Mr. Zeller chuckled,
“For you,”
“The most important thing is to take a hot bath first.”
“And then have a decent dinner.”
…
anwhile,
in the Space between purgatory, in the Interdinsional Space (Escana), in the Suki Kingdom,
the willowy maiden looked expressionlessly at the Legendary Devil standing high in the ancient castle.
Her eyes were filled with cold indifference and anger.
“I told you, you would co looking for .”
Lutisia’s voice was as seductive as ever.
Even as a woman,
Sif’s heart couldn’t help but flutter for a mont.
“Is he with you?”
Sif asked.
Lutisia smiled slightly,
“If he were in my hands, I wouldn’t need to co out to welco you now,
Understand?”
Sif bit her lip and fell silent.
Lutisia slowly flew down.
She ca in front of Sif and extended a fair hand:
