The vast black skeleton vanished the mont it touched Arthur, disappearing without a trace with its unique Aura of Death.
The whole process was as if it had been reduced to ashes and smoke.
It left everyone watching dumbfounded.
They could not understand why this was so.
Just as they could not understand why people are born different from one another.
Or perhaps...
The gap between people is even greater than that between a person and a dog.
And death and death?
There are indeed ranks that cannot be crossed.
If the difference between a person and a dog is still within this world, then crossing these ranks is a difference on a world scale—only by entering this world can one understand how it differs from the original world.
But none of that mattered anymore.
The cloud ford by the Aura of Death had dispersed.
The unique oppressive power of death had completely disappeared.
Simon, Hunter, and Newt all stood up again, looking at Arthur with faces full of reverence.
The Police Chief from the Mount Gale Region, Westbron, shook his moist pants but felt no embarassnt.
After all, if everyone familiar urinated, it was as if no one had.
And having lost the restraint of the Aura of Death, the four extra legs on William dropped from his body, turning into decayed bones and then vanishing without a trace.
At this mont, William on his knees had completely turned into a person.
At least, that was how it appeared on the surface.
But Arthur knew that the distorted William had not recovered; on the contrary, his level of distortion had deepened.
The danger of the Mystic Side lies precisely in this.
Once a mutant appears, there is no healing.
Any so-called healing will only deepen the mutation.
Even if they look normal on the outside, their insides have long beco "different from others"!
More importantly, the distorted people never realize this. They only think they are normal and it is those around them who are not.
Just like William at this mont.
He looked at Arthur with a face full of devotion, as if looking at a god of his faith, his Spiritual Light prostrating at Arthur's feet.
Arthur only needed a light touch to gain a free and useful slave.
But Arthur did not do so; he just looked at William with pity.
William was moved to tears by Arthur's kindness and benevolence. He knew Arthur did not want to strip away his freedom, but what else could he offer Arthur in return?
Furthermore, only with Arthur could he find redemption.
Only by acting on Arthur's will could he feel at peace.
William bowed his head earnestly and said—
"Young master, you are the unchanging faith of my life!"
The kindness of Old Charlie before him made William choose to address Arthur respectfully as the young master.
Arthur did not care about such a title.
You cannot reason with a madman.
Similarly, you cannot understand the heart of a mutant.
Upon confirming the purity of the Spirituality, without any trickery, Arthur leaned over and lightly touched the Spiritual Light that belonged to William. The mont the depths of his heart bore all that belonged to William, even deciding life and death in an instant, Arthur raised his hand and helped William up.
William imdiately burst into tears.
Such a rciful young master.
Such a kind young master.
To follow such a rciful and kind young master, what virtues and abilities do I have?
Such a is so humble and unfortunate!
Such a can only bring trouble to the young master!
Moreover, the young master also said that I still have one more chance!
I must cherish this opportunity!
Thinking this, William no longer hesitated.
He stood in front of Arthur and said solemnly—
"Young Master, please wait for a bit; I will co to you after I complete the 'Lich Rebirth' ritual!"
Amid his words, William knelt on one knee again, feeling guilty for leaving Arthur's side, but the greater his guilt, the more urgent he beca, and the more urgent he beca, the more persistent he beca; and the more persistent, the purer his intention beca.
When his purity reached its peak, William incredibly ignited the 'Soul Fire'.
The white flas consud William's body.
To William, the imnse pain that ordinary people couldn't bear was trivial.
Could any pain compare to the agony of being away from his young master?
"Consider this a consolation for our parting!"
Thinking this, William looked at Arthur for the last ti.
When he saw his young master looking at him with concern and full of encouragent, in that mont, everything seed worthwhile.
Whoosh!
The 'Soul Fire' burned even more vigorously.
"Please wait for !"
After William spoke for the last ti, his entire being disappeared without a trace in the burning 'Soul Fire'.
anwhile, far in the constantly snow-covered area of North County, in a certain tomb, anomalies began to occur.
A radiant light spilled from the bronze coffin.
It was dazzling but not blinding.
Just like the 'Soul Fire'.
The burning continued for a full ten minutes, and when the 'Soul Fire' vanished, soone pushed open the bronze coffin from the inside, and William sat up from the coffin.
Without any hesitation, William leapt up.
He wanted to return to South County, to South Los, to be by his master's side.
But as soon as he steadied himself, he suddenly realized sothing was wrong.
He found he couldn't speak, and his skin was incredibly shriveled. The next mont, he picked up the mirror arranged for the burial and imdiately saw a horrifying face with exposed eyeballs.
This?! William was shocked.
Upon further examination, his 'Lich Rebirth' ritual was successful, but not entirely. Lacking the 'Aura of Death' he had gathered for twenty years, he was now only a Half Lich.
But William held no resentnt toward Arthur.
Because he knew very well, if it weren't for his young master's help in dispelling that Death Qi, he wouldn't have been able to conduct the 'Lich Rebirth' ritual at all.
Let alone discussing success or failure.
Being successful by half, as he was now, was already a trendous achievent.
But making a Half Lich like himself appear normal was troubleso.
Yet, for the sake of standing proudly beside his young master, what were these troubles really?
'thods to restore a Half Lich's body... Transform the remaining half into a Corpse Ghoul!'
William's brain quickly settled on a thod.
It wasn't the most convenient of all thods, nor the quickest.
It was even the most troubleso.
But it was also the most powerful.
As a follower of the young master, being powerful was essential.
Moreover, the young master's kindness and compassion would surely not wish to see him choose any bloody paths.
"Young Master, please wait a little longer for !"
Using spirituality, assisted by a contract, William began to take rapid action.
Arthur received the ssage instantly.
'Lich Rebirth', 'Corpse Ghoul Rebirth'... What exactly did William receive from the 'Sank family' back then!'
Arthur thought to himself but didn't imdiately take out the iron box he had gotten from William on the battlefield from 'Atos's Box'.
Instead, using the 'Hand of Void', he placed the core of the Banyan Giant, a fist-sized core, into 'Atos's Box' and motioned for Simon and the others to start cleaning the estate courtyard battlefield. Only then did he walk into the largely collapsed estate main building and let the 'Hand of Void' take out that iron box.
The iron box wasn't locked, but had a clasp.
After verifying there were no issues, he continued to let the 'Hand of Void' lift the clasp.
Imdiately, a visibly damaged book caught his eye, and clear on its cover, written in 'Glyphic Language', were four large characters—
Book of Death!
