"Cough, cough! You... you finally came..."
Carried by the Wind, the heavily injured Night King coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, turning his head toward the girl with the enormous scythe who had appeared at the entrance as he muttered weakly.
Now the Night King's goal of seeing Eucliwood had finally been achieved, but the process by which he accomplished that goal... did not quite match his expectations.
In fact, at the beginning, the Night King sensed the aura of a necromancer on Nakano Yu, which caused him to follow him, planning to use Nakano Yu to draw out Eucliwood, who was hiding in the shadows.
Then, in front of Eucliwood, he would kill Nakano Yu, enrage Eucliwood, and force her to use the power of her Meaning to kill him.
Those had been the Night King's original plans, but now...
Feeling the pain from every part of his body, the Night King felt as though he would die from pain on the spot. If he had not been a zombie, he probably would have already died from that single slap from Nakano Yu.
But fortunately, although the process had been difficult, he had finally seen Eucliwood again, that misfortune whom the world itself protected!
"Eucliwood, why are you here?"
Noticing the girl who had appeared at the door, Nakano Yu revealed a faint smile. If not for the half-dead Night King in front of him, anyone who saw Nakano Yu's smile would probably think he was a very friendly older brother from the neighborhood.
Looking at Nakano Yu and the Night King whom Nakano Yu was controlling, a trace of sadness passed through Eucliwood's beautiful blue eyes.
How could Eucliwood fail to recognize the Night King whom Nakano Yu had beaten up?
After all, it was she who had given him the identity of a zombie. Once upon a time, she and the Night King had been friends, but now...
The desire for death had driven the Night King to pursue her, even stirring up the hostility of various major factions toward her, all for... the single hope that she would kill him.
Thinking of this, sadness appeared in Eucliwood's heart. With a light sigh, she looked deeply at the Night King, then walked toward Nakano Yu and the Night King standing inside the Monster House.
Seeing Eucliwood approach, a silver light flashed in Nakano Yu's eyes. When the silver light vanished, the lower half of the Night King's body turned into rock salt.
He waved his hand, and the Wind restraining the Night King disappeared. Looking at the Night King falling to the ground, his voice was icy:
"I hope you won't say the wrong thing. Otherwise, I will make you suffer through eternal torture, far more terrifying than the immortality you possess now."
Nakano Yu was not bluffing the Night King. If the Night King later spoke nonsense and hurt Eucliwood, Nakano Yu would very simply send him to the materialized Moon, then order several Moon God Envoys to bury the Night King inside moonstone.
The moment that guy freed himself, the Moon God Envoys would beat him up again and bury him back inside the moonstone.
Nakano Yu's idea differed from the mental torture the Night King had experienced until now. The Night King felt loneliness throughout his endless life, while Nakano Yu's method was to make the Night King feel loneliness while his body was simultaneously subjected to torture.
Zombies were indeed immortal, but it had never been said that they could not be hurt.
Nakano Yu's voice pierced through the Night King's ears like steel needles, and the terrifying pressure caused the Night King to unconsciously swallow.
The Night King's contact with Nakano Yu had been brief, but the Night King was certain that this guy would absolutely do such a thing!
After all, in this world, no one could be as kind as Eucliwood.
"Eucliwood, is there something you want to say?"
Eucliwood had already approached, and Nakano Yu had also noticed the unusual expression on her face. He sighed inwardly and asked.
Although Eucliwood appeared calm on the surface, the emotions in her eyes could not be hidden.
At this moment, Eucliwood was confused. She did not know what to do. Whether it was Nakano Yu or the Night King, Eucliwood did not want either of them to be hurt.
Of course, Eucliwood was not blind and could clearly see that the current situation was simply Nakano Yu beating the Night King across the floor.
Taking a deep breath, Eucliwood looked at Nakano Yu, opened her mouth, and her pure and pleasant voice, accompanied by a sharp pain that attacked her brain, came out of the girl's mouth:
"Yu, please."
As soon as the words left her mouth, the girl's pale face, which carried a slight blush, suddenly became completely white, and her entire body trembled.
Even so, Eucliwood did not fall. Instead, she barely remained standing while her pleading gaze was directed toward the young man.
With a sigh, Nakano Yu raised his hand and used the Wind to support Eucliwood's delicate body, while an emerald light appeared in his eyes.
When the light appeared in the young man's palm, Nakano Yu waved his hand, skillfully using Cut Through on the chaotic and enormous magical power within Eucliwood's body.
At the same time, he also used Cut Through on the throbbing headache that Eucliwood had just triggered by speaking.
Freed from the influence of the enormous magical power and the intense pain in her brain, color slowly returned to Eucliwood's cheeks.
"Thank you, Yu."
After calming down, Eucliwood felt her body become incredibly light. She looked at Nakano Yu and showed him a grateful smile.
"You're welcome. So, what should we do with this guy, Eu?"
Nakano Yu shook his head, letting Eucliwood know that she did not need to thank him, then looked at the restrained Night King and asked...
At this moment, the Night King was staring at Eucliwood with a shocked expression, completely unable to believe the changes that had happened to Eucliwood in only a few seconds.
He could feel it; the enormous and chaotic magical power within the girl's body had truly disappeared! And she could even speak without suffering any consequences!
How was that possible?! That enormous and unstable magical power had been enough to destroy the entire world!
How could it disappear so easily?!
Looking at Eucliwood with bloodshot eyes, then at the young man who was the cause of everything, the Night King roared:
"Bastard! What did you do to her?! Where is her magical power?! Where is her Meaning that was enough to kill me?!"
"Hmph!"
Seeing that the Night King still dared to act arrogantly at this moment, Nakano Yu coldly snorted while silver light flashed in his eyes. In the next moment, the Night King's mouth turned into rock salt, making him unable to speak any longer.
"Go ahead, Eu."
After doing that, Nakano Yu looked at the girl beside him and said.
"Mm."
Nodding lightly, Eucliwood walked toward the Night King. However, when she saw his eyes full of hatred and anger, Eucliwood paused, but soon continued walking and arrived in front of the Night King.
"Night..."
Looking at the Night King, Eucliwood spoke softly. At that moment, it was as if time had returned to when Eucliwood and the Night King first met.
However, the Night King did not feel the same and continued glaring at Eucliwood angrily.
In the Night King's eyes, it was the woman before him who had made his life meaningless, and the desire for death had become even more impossible because he could no longer step into the underworld!
It was this person! She had turned him into what he was now!
If this person now only wanted to cling to her kind heart and beg for his forgiveness, then the Night King was certain that he would absolutely not forgive her!
Thinking of this, the Night King's eyes filled with monstrous hatred.
Seeing the Night King like this, Eucliwood's feelings were extremely complicated. She only... did not want to see anyone die, but why had everything ended up like this?
"Eu, death is not pain. On the contrary, death can be liberation."
At that moment, Nakano Yu's voice sounded from behind the girl, directly striking Yu's confused heart.
After hearing Nakano Yu's words, a trace of hesitation appeared in Yu's eyes, but when she met the Night King's gaze once more, that hesitation turned into determination.
Under the Night King's hateful stare and Nakano Yu's surprised eyes, Yu slowly placed her hand on the Night King's body:
"Night, I will take away your identity as a zombie; I will grant you... death."
