Whispering Verse

"Sir, it seems that this time is really the final farewell."

Grace, who was wearing a white dress, seemed to be relieved of all the burdens at this moment. She looked at her hands that were gradually becoming transparent, and then turned to look at Shade in the gathering light and rain:

"Although we are reluctant to leave and really don't want to, our mission is accomplished and we have to leave."

She held her sister's hand. Helen's blue eyes looked at Shade, with a regretful smile on her soft face:

"Sir, I wanted to tell more stories with you and see your life. Unexpectedly, we only met briefly in the end."

She wanted to hug Shade with her left hand, but found that her hand had passed through Shade's body:

"What you have done for us is really good. We are ordinary twin girls. Although we have experienced so many things and spanned such a long time, you are still the most important person to us, because you are the only one Help without asking for anything in return.”

Streams of red light flew out from their bodies, entered the path leading to the starry sky, and flew towards the boundless sea of ​​stars above their heads. Accompany the soul, accompany the star whale, and move towards the end together.

The night wind on the edge of the cliff was very cold, and Shade's expression was completely frozen. He seemed to have saved everything, even Joey Barton had found his true love. But the stranger was the only one who failed to save the girl who was waiting for him from the beginning of the story.

She turned to look at Sister Devlin who was watching this scene quietly by the bonfire, but the nun just shook her head slightly and there was nothing she could do about it.

"You said you wanted to help that pair of girls who are more sisters than sisters? Please accept this."

Grace and Helen closed the red butterfly pendant tied around their waists and handed it to Shade. It still maintained its physical form because it was a gift given by the vampire god at the end of the reception:

"Give this to them and follow us for so long, and it has become a relic. One person holds half of it, and they can meet for a complete day every 21 days. This is a 22-day cycle. This is equivalent to a sage-level Relics.”

The girl with a transparent body kissed the left and right sides of Shade's face, but Shade didn't feel the slightest touch.

He saw the tear stains on their faces. The transparent teardrops slid down from the two similar faces, but disappeared before they hit the ground:

"The first thank you I gave you was our headband, and now the thank you I give you is our pendant. Compared with what you gave us, these are simply not enough."

"Are you really willing to leave?"

Shade asked. They left not only because their mission was completed, but also because nearly a quarter of their essence was taken away by the vampire god. This injury was far more serious than Shade thought.

Grace looked at Helen, and Helen looked at Grace. They shook their heads together, and then hugged each other:

"If possible, I hope to stay with my sister/sister forever, to the end of eternity."

Shade was worried that the two of them would kiss each other in front of him.

"Even if we suffer the pain and torture of the cycle again, we still want to be together forever. I really, really want to, really don't want to leave, and we don't want to be separated."

The color of the body receded completely, and the scarlet soul clung to it, crying. The sky is full of red butterflies, adding extra color to the starry sky. The red butterflies flying towards the starry sky following the path of broken light add a more realistic touch to this scene under the moon.

【Are you going to do something? 】

she asked with a smile.

Shade sighed:

"Grace, Helen, I can let you stay. But you have to know that there is a price. For me, I have to give my strength, and for you, I don't know what will happen. But, I do have a way. "

The two crying red souls separated from each other and looked at Shade who was standing in front of the bonfire. White light and shadow surrounded him, the warm yellow bonfire illuminated his light and shadow, and the silver moon above his head seemed to cover him with a tulle.

"you"

"Since I want to help you, and I have already done so much, it doesn't matter if I help you again. Just treat it as a thank you gift for helping my friend."

He turned to look at the nun:

"Something may happen in a while."

"I'm blind, I can't see anything."

Sister Devlin said softly.

Shade nodded and patted Mia the cat's little head. Only then did he notice that there was an extra ring on its tail, and it was a very familiar ring:

"Huh? [Vampire Ring]? Where did you get this? I remember that the nine relics were all on the evil god. After I defeated them, were those relics scattered in the forest and Mia happened to pick them up?"

I was extremely surprised, but the little cat meowed proudly. It was really proud.

The white light rain followed him, and the thanksgiving gifts of the souls were transformed into the purest spirit, and this powerful power was affecting the real space in the form of enlightenment.

The whistles roared and the bells rang. In the thick and hot steam mist, the huge brass life ring appeared completely.

The thank-you gifts given by the huge souls trapped in the narrow room for several epochs affected the essence of Shade's soul. The pure spirit that could not be contained was transformed into a brass-colored enlightening aura. The aura radiated across the top of the mountain in an unprecedented manner. So much so that a brass-colored sun seemed to appear above Mount Sikal.

Even the ring warlocks who were fighting the undead beasts above the city saw the light here again:

"What happened again? How much else is going on tonight?"

Fortunately, they don't have time to fly over to see what's going on here.

Every time Shade steps forward, the cliff scenery in the dark night around him will be transformed into the magnificent palace hall.

Sister Devlin next to the bonfire lowered her head to "look" at the red carpet that appeared under her feet at an unknown time, and then raised her head to "look" at the wall covered with silver and green tapestries. On the silver tapestry is the moon, on the green tapestry are giant trees:

"Mystery lock."

"Sleeping Princess."

Grace and Helen, who were clinging to each other, also noticed the changes in their surroundings and noticed that their location was somehow higher than Shade's location.

Shade stepped up, and the stairs appeared step by step under his feet. When he stepped on the carpet and climbed the seventh step, he was already in front of the girls.

The splendid palace is so warm that even the transparent soul is dyed with color here. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window is the small town of Luoxue at night. Farther away in the middle of the sea of ​​trees, giant trees are like umbrella canopies, swaying with the night wind under the light of the silver moon.

Somehow, looking at Shade who was walking towards them, Helen, who was wearing a black dress, subconsciously took a step back. Then she noticed that a huge ice coffin had appeared behind them.

The lid of the ice coffin is engraved with a lifelike butterfly pattern. The blood-red pattern looks like the ice surface is dyed red by blood. The ice coffin had already been covered with soft mats, and the coffin was big enough for two people to lie in it.

"I have to make sure of one thing."

Shade asked as he walked up the steps in the palace:

"If I kiss you all of a sudden, will I get punched by one of you?"

Grace, who had always been calm, was amused by this question. She shook her head slightly:

"Helen and I really don't know how to repay you."

"I don't need to repay you. But have you really thought about it? Not only do I have to pay for this, but you also have to pay for it."

Helen Black wiped away her tears, and Grace White regained her expression:

"No matter how much I have to pay, I would like to be with my sister forever. This is our wish when we met you, and it is also our wish now."

"OK."

Shade nodded and pointed to the ice coffin behind them. So, Grace picked up her shy sister and placed her in the ice coffin. Then, Helen, who was sitting in the ice coffin, also pulled her sister in.

The two of them lay side by side, their bodies gradually losing color and turning into departing souls again. Shade walked up to them, picked them up and kissed them (note).

[Foreigners, the spiritual rune "Red Moon" has been changed to an unavailable state. 】

[Note that this status may be changed, but you need to find a way yourself. If you cannot change the unavailable state, you cannot learn related thaumaturgy, and the spiritual rune cannot be used for promotion. 】

This is the sacrifice that Shade made. Grace and Helen were in a worse situation than Miss Fiona Drago who was really just sleeping, so he paid more.

"The sacrifice this time is really a bit big."

The inspirational light rewrites the story of the owner of the charm. The huge spirit turns into a miracle in the world through this kiss, allowing two souls that have been about to leave for a long time to stay again.

Shade didn't know what price the red butterflies paid, but he clearly saw two red butterflies landing on his shoulders, and then disappeared silently:

[The long wait, the mutual torture, the qualitative change of family affection, the bitter love. From the time when the twins met a stranger at God's cocktail party in the Fifth Age, to the kiss at the top of Mount Sikar in the Sixth Age. The story finally came to an end. The story of the red butterflies that lasts for two epochs, outsiders, only you and me can know. 】

[You know the story of the relic "Red Butterfly Twins", and you come into contact with the whispers. 】

But it is not a spiritual rune, because the sacrifice you make voluntarily cannot get a better return than the price:

[Outlander, you have obtained the spell - transform into a red butterfly. Turn your body into a flock of flying butterflies and move around, but you cannot use it for a long time, otherwise you will lose yourself. The loss of a small number of butterflies will not cause damage to yourself. 】

[You have obtained the spell - Red Butterfly Illusion. Create an illusion with flying butterflies. 】

[Because the spell comes from the truest power of angel-level relics, the spell can be immune to the influence of most relics. 】

The blood-red butterflies started from the shoulders on both sides and appeared all over the body until Sha De's whole body was dyed the color of red butterflies. It is true that there are no spiritual runes, but the special power is fed back to Shade's soul through [Sleeping Princess]. In any case, the shadow of Hongdie has been imprinted on his soul.
