Chapter 422 - 372 : Ragnar (2/2)
”Yes, he looks much like his father.”
”Eeeh? Really? The way I see it, he has your soft and tender skin.”
The two women happily chatted for a few some time before Mary left, telling her friend to get a much-needed rest.
Anastassia spent the whole day hugging her sleeping child, her expression melancholic.
Midnight, a black-cloaked old man with a grey hair and a grumpy expression appeared in that room. He gazed at the sleeping baby before shifting his attention to the mother.
”You asked for time and I gave you ample time. It's time to go.”
Anastassia gently put her baby in his small bed and caressed his face while smiling before covering him with a blanket. She turned toward the old man and said
”You'll fulfill your end of the deal, right?”
As if he was insulted, the old man retorted
”Who do you take me for? I always stay true to my promises.”
He waved his hand, causing two lifeless bodies to appear on the ground. He inspected them while saying
”You're quite lucky to have found them a short time after their death. Any second later and it would've been impossible to revive them, even with my abilities.”
Anastassia didn't talk, she waited for him to bring them back to life with a hopeful look. Seeing her expression, the old man snorted and shot out two thin threads of black lights from his fingers, each hitting the foreheads of the corpses.
Upon a closer look, one of the corpses was actually Jackob while the other was her little sister, Sonia. They both died fighting the Cthulhu, in fact, if Anastassia arrived an hour earlier, she might've been able to save them.
At that time, the vice-leader sank deep into despair and only regained hope when this old man, who proclaimed to be Death itself, appeared before her and struck a once-in-a-lifetime deal.
He asked her to become his successor and in return, he'll arrive her dead family members. She demanded he gave her some time so she can give birth and time was she given.
Very soon, the pale skin of the two corpses gained some color and the two began breathing.
”It's done, they will wake up within an hour. Let's go.”
Anastassia nodded her head, she crouched next to the unconscious Jackob and gave him a kiss on the forehead. She did the same to Sonia before glancing one last time at her child.
From that night, Anastassia, the vice-leader of the MoonStar sect was no more. She disappeared without a trace and followed Death, who immediately started granting her his powers.
A huge commotion occurred an hour later when Jackob and Sonia woke up. They were dumbfounded and thought this was after-life, only when Mary accidentally entered the room to check on the baby did the situation became clear.
From that day onward, the position of Vice-Leader was passed to Jackob, who meticulously did his job with the help of his assistant, Sonia.
The newborn baby, who was the couple's only kid, was named Ragnar and grew up into an extremely powerful individual, using daggers just like his mother but… that's a story for another time.

A few days after Arthur met with Jian Si, the trio arrived at the entrance of the cave where countless cultivators were patiently waiting for a semi-transparent barrier to vanish.
The barrier was put by the Space Dragon and it would disappear when the ancient beast gives birth as it'll focus all its energy to protect its baby.
Amongst the cultivators, Lucy saw the pink-haired girl, Clara, accompanied by the Flame Crown Prince. Elo Huo, the kid who lost an arm in the Tomb above Amidel's city was also present.
He no longer had this haughty look around him, his expression was serious as he was the only meditating in his group. All the others were either provoking rival sects, chatting, or gazing at the barrier.
Shu Ru, Emily, and the princess were also here. The Goddess of Green Leaf was chatting with a cheeky looking young man who had a tanned skin and a muscular body. He wore a white robe and had a wooden staff on his back.
This young man, who looked like an adult was the famous Sacred Priest of the Holy Academy.
This Academy had ties with the Holy Academy as they worshiped the same God but they weren't necessarily allies.
Jian Si's arrival attracted many gazes but none dared to provoke her or talk to her. The girl quietly sat next to her sect members, who were also afraid of her.
