"They should know what price they have to pay when they open the Six Paths."
"What... what?"
"Whoever opens the Six Paths must have someone to fill the void."
"Can't you bring them back?"
"The Six Paths are controlled by the God of Death; I don't have that ability."
"At least everyone is still here, right?"
The Northern King nodded; he must have feelings too, after all, he has been with me for so long.
"What about Sky-Opening?"
"It's still there; no one can harm him unless the God of Death acts personally."
"Your Soul Jade shattering is related to me, isn't it..."
I clearly remember that at that time, he was calling my name, and the voice came from the Soul Jade before it started to shatter.
"It’s unrelated."
Hearing the Northern King coldly utter those two words made me feel extremely awkward. Then why did he show me the Soul Jade earlier?
"By the way, how did you recover your memory? Did your injury heal?"
"Yes, I consumed the inner elixir."
I was wondering why there was only one inner elixir left; it seems it worked.
"Just eat it, when are you planning to leave here?"
"Soon."
"Great, can you help me restore my true form now?"
The Northern King looked at me but did not respond.
"I mean, I can't stay as Undead forever. I want to return to the Underworld! There are still many things I need to do, people I need to save, and—most importantly, the person I care about is waiting for me!"
"You can't go back; the Soul Jade is shattered."
"What!"
The Northern King's calm tone struck me like a thunderclap, leaving me frozen in place. After everything I've done, I thought it was all coming to an end, that everything would be simple from here on out, and I would soon find Silver Moon.
"I can't go back either," the Northern King said.
"You can't go anywhere," I said weakly; this place was originally yours.
"The Northern Palace, the Soul Jade is shattered, my soul is damaged. This is a good opportunity; the Southern King won't let it go."
"Then where are you planning to go?"
"To find the God of Death; you should come with me."
"Me? Do I have to go too?"
"Yes, he can help you."
"Really? I can meet the God of Death? He will help me?!"
"Of course, but you need to be careful of Southern King. Stay close to me on the way."
"I will."
Why do I always feel that something is off? I can't quite put my finger on it. Looking at the calm expression of Northern King, I just can't believe he would deceive me.
"Let's go now," Northern King said.
"Now? Aren't you a bit too anxious?"
"Do you think finding the Grim Reaper is that easy?"
"Haven't you and Southern King met the Grim Reaper before? Don't you know where he is?"
"I don't know. Unless he willingly shows himself, no one can find him."
"Alright then, let's go say goodbye to Aunt."
"No need. We have to move quickly; we need to avoid Southern King's eyes along the way. The sooner we leave, the better."
Filled with confusion, I followed Northern King. Why is he so anxious? And from his tone, it seems like he's afraid—afraid that Southern King might discover me.
Everything has become too complicated. I don't want to fall into another trap. Looking at Northern King's back, I wonder if I can really trust this person.
...
"Hey, buddy, isn't it a bit selfish to sneak around like this?" A figure blocked our path.
The newcomer was dressed in purple and bore a striking resemblance to Northern King, with black hair as well. However, he reminded me of Red Demon—always wearing a cheerful smile but with an added air of dominance.
At this moment, Northern King's face turned even colder, frighteningly so. He stepped back to stand beside me, as if he were... nervous?!
"Your news is quite fast."
"Of course, with the appearance of Game Chips, how could I be late?"
"You will lose; the outcome will be the same."
"Really? It seems you are not in a better position than I am." As he spoke, he glanced at me and gave a refined nod and smile.
I was stunned and didn't know how to respond, looking towards Northern King.
"That's Southern King," Northern King sighed.
Southern King? He really showed up?!
"Oh right, this inner elixir." I took out another inner elixir from my pocket.
"Thanks, little girl!" He said as he swallowed it whole.
"Damn it, why did you give it to him!" Northern King cursed under his breath.
"Hey, hey, hey, Ink Seal, aren't you being a bit stingy!"
"Purple Seal, please roll away."
