Chapter 765: Epilogue (11)

From across the holographic screen, Duanmu Xinqings beaming smile greeted me. Yahoo~ Now, this is a rare sight. Ke, you actually called your aunty Xinqing are flowers going to bloom on palm trees now?

She teased me ruefully.

A Xinqing, Ive been really busy lately you know why

Yes, yes. But, Ke, its rude of you to address your aunty by her name like that. Remember to add on the aunty next time. Duanmu Xinqing gave me her signature teasing smile. But your aunty is a little happy that you addressed her by her name. Right, Ke, when are you coming home? Your aunty misses you so, and my precious daughter, too, of course.

Ive already located the mastermind behind this virus. I will go back when Im finished dealing with him. I avoided answering her directly.

However, she could already see that something was up, especially given that I had deliberately kept a distance from her this past month.

Ke, are you trying to avoid us?

No not at all.

Theres no need to repeat yourself. Your aunty might always have her head buried in some research, but she still has eyes. Duanmu Xinqing did not press the issue, but a sigh escaped her lips. Ke, your aunty does not know what is troubling you, but she hopes that you understand that we will always be behind you.

Mhm.

Her decision not to pursue the matter relieved me greatly, but seeing as there wasnt much to say at that point, I quickly cut off the feed, spread my wings, then took off towards the skyscraper.

After a full month of stewing, the city was a giant graveyard, if said graveyard did not bother to bury the dead. Technically, I had a special method of blocking out this stench, else I would have gone mad from the smell.

I zipped through the dead city, the streets somehow felt even quieter than usual. Barring the usual mindless zombie straggler, there werent any other undead, like those skeletal beasts, to be found anywhere. I wouldnt be surprised if Karlston had just decided to recall any undead that showed any modicum of power. But that also meant that he had been monitoring me, and knew that I was about to knock on his door.

As expected, I spotted a horde of skeletal beasts waiting for me at the doorstep of the former Life Unbound Biotechs headquarters. Flying skeletons, crawling skeletons, even tunnelling skeletons. They were all there.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

I mustnt let him cast his spell so easily

Against a mage, the tried and tested method was always to just charge him and give him a good beating. Which I did. I flipped onto my lioness once more and broke into a blistering charge.

Land of the dead overturn the wheel of reincarnation feast of the souls

Thats a forced teleportation spell, Exile. It can throw another person into a separate dimension. Useful, but the side effects are severe, thus its categorization as a forbidden spell. In all likelihood, hes trying to kick you out of Gaia, that greedy ******* is planning to keep this treasure trove all for himself.

A forced teleportation?! No! I cant let him get this spell off.

Karlston quickly finished his chant as I rode my nether flame lioness swiftly into him.

However, my desperate attack was suddenly interrupted when countless bone spears pierced through the ceiling and ground in a pincer attack.

My first instinct was to dodge, but with my nether flame lioness protecting me, I came to the conclusion that even that was unnecessary.

Yet all it took was that single second of hesitation as Karlston managed to cast his spell. There was only a meter separating us. Our eyes met in a storm of murderous intent

But amidst that overbearing emotion, there was calmness. His spell had been completed, and this whole sequence of events seemed to have been planned by him. All that was needed now was that final chant

Tear down the void of space Exile!

Its too late we messed up

At that point, everything went black. All I could remember was Karlston finishing his chant, at which point the black pool of blood gushed upwards into a massive array.

Dont worry, little brother, your Big Sis will protect you

Those were the last words I heard
