Chapter 130: Mass. (1)

…The interior of the Ghost Castle was surrounded by a mist that dulled the senses and wrapped around one’s body languidly.

In that hazy consciousness, Epherene was almost lost.

“Carlos! You were here!”

Then she heard a voice. Epherene hesitated, turning around. “You can’t lose!”

Ganesha, Lia, and Leo were holding the child named Carlos and shouting.

“Sister! Where are you, sister?!”

Jackal was still looking for his sister, and Epherene continued onward.

—…It is you.But a voice called out to her from somewhere. Epherene turned, her body moving on autopilot. -Nice to meet you. It was someone resembling Deculein, but older and smiling at her.

—Daughter of my favorite Kagan.He stretched out his hand, and Epherene slowly approached as if possessed.Then someone grabbed her wrist: Ihelm.He glared at Decalane, pushing Epherene behind him.

Decalane’s lips pressed up into a thin, subtly upturned line.—Is it Ihelm?

—I was thankful to you. For becoming friends with my son-

“Friends? We’ve never had such a dreamy relationship.”

“What the hell is going on? He’s dead. Where the hell are we?”

For a moment, Decalane’s expression hardened but soon turned into another wry smile.

—Ihelm. I am alive like this; I’m not dead.A delusion close to madness resided in Decalane’s eyes. He focused on Epherene.

—Luna’s daughter. Do you know what your father wanted?

“Don’t listen to him, Leaf.”

Ihelm gathered mana in his hand, constructing a destructive spell to crush Decalane’s spirit.

—If you know that…Yet the moment he was about to trigger the completed magic-The castle vibrated. Epherene and Ihelm glanced at each other.Decalane’s face grew heavy and hollow. He looked up at the sky, brow furrowing.

—My son is doing something strange.Ihelm deployed a shield over Epherene and everyone around him just as the whole world was shaken again with a roar.
