Chapter 1381

“Daughter!” King Diorite wore a big smile as he looked at her, holding his arms out, but she grabbed my sleeve and moved behind me nervously, acting a bit like the previous Sapphire, and causing him to stop. “What is this?”

“I... don’t know you,” Sapphire said.

“Geh!” He made a face. “What are you saying? I’m your father! I’m the king of the deep dwarves. What did you do to her?”

This time, his eyes shot to me. However, I didn’t feel anything but anger towards him.

“You’re a fool.”

“What did you say?” His expression turned angry.

“You let her die!”

He sneered. “And it brought back my true daughter? I see this as a win!”

I shook my head in disgust. “You don’t get it.”

“Get what?”

“Your daughter died a long time ago,” I responded.

“L-Lapis?”

“Diorite? My love?” The woman looked a bit confused.

“I-I know her...” Sapphire frowned, peeking out from behind me.

The woman named Lapis turned to Sapphire and then gasped. “Daughter?”

“M-mom?”

Lapis took a step forward and threw her arms around her daughter, tears falling down her eyes. As for King Diorite, he could only watch with his mouth flapping open. After a few moments, he finally got some words out.

“H-how?”

“She managed to connect their souls to their bodies... the deep dwarves that held out from Twilight’s unity,” I responded. “It comes out to about three hundred. They’re in my soul world right now. I just guessed the woman’s origins.”

“Twilight had tried to take my family to force me to complete the unity. Lapis sacrificed herself to save our daughter. That was when I decided we needed to flee. She attacked the city a short time later.”

As he said this, the ground started to rumble.

“Master! Something’s coming!” Terra warned.

I had hoped that the resurrection would have kept her away longer than that, but I was just being too hopeful. Twilight was starting her counterattack.
