Hjorth screeched deafeningly in sheer agony It thrashed viciously froh its body

Even though the icians had hastily constructed defensive barriers around the creature, its violent thrashi+ng shattered theee camp

When their spells were forcibly cancelled like that, thethem to vomit copious amounts of blood and fall down from their horses

White, his face covered in cold sweat, urgently distanced himself away from the Mud Snake Hjorth

"Really noent through hell trying to traverse the desert and burning lands, butrun into the very culprit responsible for ruining our ho his teeth, and al out of the nearby forest

Charlotte discovered him and looked quite surprised "Your Majesty!"

"Is that you, Charlotte? Does thatlately, then?!" White greeted her and didn't waste tooup Even as he did so, he made sure to keep his eyes locked on the body of Hjorth

He urgently roared out "Sorry about this, but our side also has quite a few refugees as well We'd like you to protect them, since the number of injured are"

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor has been incapacitated, sire!"

White instantly became stupefied by her words and stared at Charlotte His eyes drifted over to the large tent that Hjorth had been trying to attack earlier

The gigantic Mud Snake's violent thrashi+ng had torn and shoved aside the tent's flaps, revealing the occupants within White was now granted the full view of the Saintess Alice, diligently praying while holding the hand of the unconscious Allen, as well as the shi+vering Laurence desperately holding onto Roy with his whole body

"Wha?!"

"We need to protect His Majesty the Holy Eure out as going on here, but Charlotte's shout brought him back to his senses

"I see" He turned his head and glared at Hjorth

The Mud Snake had finally freed itself froh to let out a thunderous shriek It glared ed to inflict a wound on the snake's body

-You bastard! A measly little insect dares to injure me?!-

"Oh hey, you even kno to talk, huh?" White quipped while yanking out his physical sword

There was a boulder floating on the ocean of blood Sitting on it was a grim reaper hidden under a black robe and hood, its hand fir eerily away

A small boat passed by in front of the boulder A skeleton clad in a tattered robe, its sto the oar to make this boat move forward

The darkness was chased away by a lantern attached to the passing boat, and as it drifted past the boulder, the grim reaper silently fell into sluan resting its hand on its chest as if it could finally relax soer had a heart and could only feel its bare ribcage by doing so

The skeleton's old habit froesture

-Everything is alright now You can come out-

Held in the skeleton's embrace and hidden under the fabric, Roy heard her and cautiously stepped aside When he looked around, though, all he could see was the pitch-black darkness surrounding hi at all Even sound itself see of fear to re-sprout within his heart

Wondering about so, Roy peeked over the side of the boat at the ocean of blood He could see souls flowing towards somewhere like streams of water, below the clear scarlet surface

Skeletons were roa the depths as well They suddenly raised their heads and lowed ominously as they tried to reach out towards hiasped out in shock and sturasped his shoulders -That is the ocean of blood, child If you look for too long, the dead beings will drag you under-

"This place it really is hell"

-Indeed, it is A place where the sinners gather to pay for their crimes It's the same story for me as well, child-

"Auntie, you" Since the skeleton spoke in a woman's voice, Roy assuht and asked, "What kind of a crime did you commit?"

-I coreed and ended up har my own family,- the skeleton replied in a hollow voice -And now, the God of Death, Yudai, has entrusted me with a task that will ultimately purify my sin-

"Task? And purify?"

-Yes It is to guide the souls that had been purified, froatory to the location connected to the Heavenly World-

"For how long are you supposed to do that?"
