“Pray for… My salvation?”
The princess’ soul was taken aback. Even though she knew he’d do so, when she truly had to face death, it still felt like a dream. She was the Corpse King’s daughter, the one and only corpse princess! As a royal, she was one of the tops in her world.
Before this, she stood at the peak of social status and looked down on the other trialists as if they were a group of clowns. She would sometimes appear just for the sake of teasing them.
This was just how high and mighty she acted here. The trialists were just her toys in the Underworld.
They were moths used as sacrifices. However, the trialists didn’t know about this.
Despite this, she’d have never thought that Xerxes would be part of the trialists. That bastard had such luck finding her real body, dug her hibernating body out from the coffin, and even are her Spiritual Corpse Core…
She could swear that Xerxes didn’t know how important the core was to her, let alone its functions. She knew that she had to take it back. It was simply that the method was a little odd…
Initially, she had total confidence and thought that it was going to be easy. Trialists were mere ants to her, so she had nothing to be afraid of. She just didn’t expect Alex to appear suddenly out of nowhere. I’m and that he practiced ancient Buddhism, a natural nemesis of the Underworld Tomb.
Now, she faced death.
“Rest in peace!” Alex roared coldly. He raised his palm out towards the princess’ soul.
“Great Mighty Divine Palm!”
“Ah!”
“Wait, hold on!”
The princess screamed, obviously in great pain. She didn’t want to die.
Naturally, Alex ignored her. Now that he’d found Dorothy’s sealed soul, and with part of Xienna’s soul destroyed, he knew it was a rare chance for him to recover Dorothy’s consciousness and bring back his wife.
“Stop fighting!”
“The sooner it ends, the sooner the pain stops. That’ll be better for you! ” Alex persuaded.
“Ah!”
“It hurts! It’s so painful!”
“Save me! Save me…”
The princess’ soul was burned. She cried out loud for help, her face full of despair and pain.
The sudden change came too swiftly and abruptly. Alex hadn’t expected it. He reached out to save her, using the Great Icebound Spell of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spells to try and extinguish that eerie ball of fire.
Sadly, he was too late. The eerie flame burned too quickly.
He could only hear the princess shout her last few words, “It’s… The Emperor…”
She seemed to have spoken something else, but unfortunately, her voice grew too soft. Alex couldn’t hear her well as her soul perished.
