Chapter 711: Two down, Sending them off... (2/2)

Indeed, Vendrick hadn't killed Wendy yet. He just destroyed her body but spared her spirit, making her the same as Maria. Wendy's body was on the verge of collapsing anyways, believe it or not, wielding the power of hexes is more taxing than what it looks like. Vendrick just helped in expediting that process but he also made sure that Wendy's spirit won't be affected by the collapse of her physical form.

”Now, you're just as powerless as her.” Vendrick stated. ”There are no hexes on you anymore so feel free to have your own little reunion and stay there. I'll come back for the two of you.”

After saying that, Vendrick no longer paid attention to them and started manually cleaning the whole swamp using lighting and thunder.

Wendy was confused, Maria on the other hand was numbed at this point.

”Who is he?” Wendy couldn't help but ask Maria, unable to hold her curiosity.

”Well, I don't know his name since he never introduced himself to me.” Maria smiled wryly. ”All I know is that human is very strange. Don't worry, he's true to his words. He'll give us time, but he'll probably kill us afterwards.”

”...is that so?” Wendy calmed down.

She wasn't shocked. Wendy never dreamt of living any longer anyways so she could accept this arrangement. Additionally, Maria looked like she already accepted her fate so there's no need to hold on to a silly hope.

Come to think of it, this might just be the best for the both of them. The sisters had lived for far too long. They held on to dear life just to grasp a chance of being reunited. For what exactly? For closure? Maybe.

Both of them died a long time ago. Whatever happened after that hardly count as 'living' for the both of them.

Therefore they grasped this chance. This might be the last time that they'll see each other. Neither of them had any desire to escape fate anymore. Wendy's exhausted, Maria too. They're already glad that they were given a chance to converse properly before they let go of everything.

As the two of them talked to each other and settled their regrets, Vendrick was busy cleansing the swamp.

Well, this is certainly easier than dealing with two monsters at the same time so he should be thankful that all he needed to do was a clean-up. Still though, Wendy and the Forest Witch made a total mess out of this place.

If he left this like this, not even Demonic Beasts would want to live in here. As he has grand plans for the tribe in the future, he might as well lay down the ground work which would make things easier for them in the future. After all, he wouldn't be around for them forever.

Several hours later and Vendrick was done. He wiped the sweat from his face and walked towards the sisters. The two saw him approaching as well and readied themselves.

From a single glance, Vendrick could no longer feel any resentment from the both of them. They were free and ready to go. They already let go of any sentiments they have on the mortal world.

”This is it you two.” Vendrick declared with a calm face. ”Time to die.”

”Indeed.” Wendy nodded with a smile. Maria did so too. ”Thank you, for giving us this final chance.”

”You're welcome.” Vendrick nodded. ”I'll send you on your way then.”

Saying that, Vendrick's body released a brilliance that blinded the both of them. To their eyes, this brilliance was the light that will lead them to afterlife.

Wendy grasped Maria's hand and smiled at her. They closed their eyes and felt the warmth that's enveloping their bodies.

Unbeknownst to them, a seal appeared on their bodies just before the two of them dissipated. There was no screams, no sound at all. They just passed on quietly and peacefully.

”...the Seal of Reincarnation. With it, you two will be reincarnated at a later time with no memories of your past lives, under a peaceful era where you two will be sisters and shall live a lifetime of bountiful peace and prosperity.”

That's right, Vendrick didn't kill them just like he told them. He just sent them on their way to reincarnation. He sent them to a time where they will live a peaceful life filled with happiness and peace. Hopefully, none of them knew of this since that will be for the best. Without remembering their painful life, they focus on their new one with a smile on their faces.

”...a small present to offset the bad luck of this lifetime. Use it well you two.”

Just like that, Vendrick turned around and made his way back to the Blue Mountain Tribe.
