Magic High School.

"A shameless domain mage, a girl hiding in the shadows who also knows domains, a water sprite who inherited your liquid ice artifact and can use it even better than you, and finally, a silly blonde girl who's like a mascot..."

"How much like we used to be..." he laughed, slumped onto the bench, and casually tossed the empty soda bottle into the trash can.

“If we hadn’t received that mission from Old Man Yellow Skin, would we already be surrounded by descendants, waiting to perish at the end of the World Tree?” Herman asked.

"Perhaps." Carl finished his soda.

“But it’s finally over!” Hermann stood up, stretched, as if relieved of all the burden.

"What killed me was not time or curse, but its successor. That's wonderful."

He laughed and said, "This deathbed replay seems a bit too long. I feel like I still have a lot to say, but after thinking about it, I'll stop here. We're all dead now. At this point in time, perhaps Jupiter, Ethan, and Rin are all dead. Did Ethan and Rin end up together? Did Jupiter win over his goddess...?"

"Ah, I suddenly feel like we've overlooked so many beautiful things: friendship, dreams, the future, love... We haven't had a chance to experience these beautiful things, and we've wasted thousands of years, living like monsters."

After listening to Herman's thoughts, Karl smiled and said, "I recently worked part-time as a swordsmanship instructor at the Children's Palace and met a very interesting child."

"How so?" Hermann was completely relaxed, no longer caring about the unusually long monologue.

“His eyes are filled with hatred and regret, like a lion hiding inside,” Carl said. “The boy told me that he used to be very important, but something he had been ignoring disappeared, and now he realizes its importance, but it’s too late.”

“Perhaps we are all like that,” Carl said, offering words of comfort to his friend like a spiritual mentor.

“Yes, we all are like that…” Herman smiled and then patted Karl on the shoulder.

“Karl”.

"Ok?"

"It's so good to be able to talk to you again," he said with a smile.

Carl suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and Herman was stunned for a moment because he saw the school gate in the distance, where Nyarli seemed to be there to pick him up.

At that moment, Hermann was completely stunned.

“Don’t be so quick to judge. I’m a teacher at this school, so you can come and chat with me anytime,” Karl said with a smile. “Now, go find Nyali first, or you’ll be in for a rough night.”

He laughed and pulled Herman up with one hand.

With Herman looking on in bewilderment, Karl waved and said, "Oi, Nyarlathotep, he's here!"

Herman: "?"

What happened? Isn't this the revolving lantern of my dying moments?

However, when he realized that Naya was actually in front of him, he turned around to look for Karl, only to find that Karl had already dusted himself off and run back into the teaching building.

“Let’s go,” Nyarli said. “Why won’t Karl meet with me?”

Herman paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Perhaps, the one who truly couldn't move on from the past is him."

Herman extended his hand, and Nyali smiled and intertwined her fingers with his.

As the two left the campus hand in hand, they saw a guy who seemed to be returning from surfing the internet during his lunch break. Naya looked at him, and Herman asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just saw a guy who's just as unlucky as you."

The afternoon sun shone on the campus as they left together.

Perhaps they will come back again?

……

Meanwhile, in the training grounds of the fairy clan.

The domain has ended.

For some reason, after the yellow-and-purple armored Xiaoye kicked Herman's soul, everything seemed to stop.

His waist was broken directly, and then gradually dissipated.

The archangel-form senior, Naya, smiled and handed the ring to them, saying, "Keep it safe from now on."

Then, she completely vanished into light, without resentment or anger, as if it were a release, or perhaps she had found a better solution.

Perhaps, from beginning to end, the only one who wanted to seal the sea god with himself was Senior Herman.

The giant hand that was about to descend from the sky gradually dissipated because of Archangel Nyarli's decision to abandon it.

However, this dissipated spell, known as the "Century of Innovation," eventually touched this land.

The ocean, cursed by the sea god and twisted like a black swamp, was instantly purified. The native marine creatures that had become extinct because of the curse gradually returned to their origins and became embryos, about to engage in another battle royale in this newly born ocean.

Of course, these are all for later.

"Could it be..." Valerie exclaimed in surprise after recognizing the person emerging from the domain—a knight who was half yellow and half purple.

"Yes, Li Ge and Xiao Ye won!" Yi Lian said with a smile, seemingly finally relieved.

At that moment, Daphne immediately said, "Mother, it's over, stop."

After a moment of silence, the Fairy Queen suddenly said, "Daphne, it's time for you to grow up."

"Huh?" Daphne stared blankly at her mother, and suddenly, she seemed to realize something.

"Actually, my mother is already dead. It was Senior Naya who kept me alive. Now, I must leave this place. From now on, the future of the fairies will be in your hands." She smiled, showing no fear of death, only indifference...

"Mother..."

"Finally, I'll help you one last time. I'll take you to find the Sea God's heart, brain, limbs, and soul, so you can completely seal him away."

"I may have a few more days; this is my last chance."

As the Fairy Queen spoke, she glanced at Yilian and Valerie.

Yi Lian nodded, and Valerie, seeing Yi Lian nod, immediately nodded as well.

everything is over.

They also put away their treasures and then hurried to Night Knight's side.

After all, although Li Ge's previous actions were extremely difficult, it was still for the sake of winning, and Li Ge had really burned himself out. They were a little worried about that bastard Li Ge, fearing that he might really die here.

"oi, Xiaoye, Lige!" Valerie waved and rushed over.

Saya, in her knight form, paused for a moment. The next instant, she removed the King Insect Armor from her body, and Valerie, who was halfway through her charge, froze in shock.

Because after the armor dissipated, only Xiaoye remained, and Lige was nowhere to be seen.

"Wait, wait, wait, is Li Ge really dead? This can't be true, right? He can't really be dead?" Valerie froze on the spot.

Even Yi Lian froze for a moment.

Is Li Ge really dead?

Although they couldn't believe it, Li Ge's vow was truly malicious, and that's how the magical world works—the greater the power, the greater the price. They had witnessed how strong Xiao Ye was in her knight form, and the price of this power might truly require Li Ge to sacrifice his life...

In other words...

Is Li Ge dead?

"Li Ge, you bastard, say something! Li Ge, say something!" Valerie went from disbelief to doubt, and now she gradually believed in Li Ge's death and even accepted it.

However, they still clung to a last glimmer of hope...

“Li Ge…” Daphne was also completely stunned. For some reason, at this moment, an intense sadness welled up from the bottom of her heart, a sadness that seemed to completely overwhelm her.

She was unaware that this overwhelming grief had caused an unpredictable change in her domain, Midsummer Night's Dream, but at this moment, she was completely immersed in the sorrow of the deaths of her few friends.

She has very few friends.

Even among fairies, she had almost no friends. She had always believed that proud fairies didn't need friends.

But after just a few days together, she gradually grew to like the atmosphere of the team.

Whether it's playful bickering, exchanging sarcastic remarks, or engaging in prankish interactions and mutual mockery...

But now, Li Ge is dead. That guy who spouts so much nonsense, is he really dead?

For some reason, she felt a pain that seemed to pierce her very soul and break her heart.

It hurts, it hurts so much...

"Stop howling, stop howling, I think I can still be saved." Li Ge's voice suddenly rang out.

Xiao Ye rolled her eyes in the same dead fish style, and the next instant, a phantom image of Li Ge, standing in a thunderous stance, appeared behind her...

"Hey, you're not dead?" Valerie said directly.

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is this! Would you be happy if I died?" Li Ge quickly retorted.

In a conventional sense, he is already dead; he has completely lost his vitality and is now a substitute that can only attach itself to Saya, like a ghost.

However, according to the school's definition, as long as the soul is not completely scattered, it is not considered death.

From this perspective, Li Ge is as if she were dead.

He might be dead, but it's also unlikely that he's dead.

"So, how are you feeling right now? Do you need us to rush back to school to revive you?" Yi Lian asked directly.

"I feel surprisingly okay. Although I'm dead and only a soul left, I still have everything I need. In fact, I can still activate my domain in this state," Li Ge said with a smile.

"Wait, it seems I can be resurrected... Xiao Ye, help me..." Li Ge said to his wife, whose identity had now been confirmed, as if he were pleading.

"Alright, whatever you say," Xiaoye said.

In this state, as soon as Li Ge sticks out his butt, she can immediately understand Li Ge's thoughts, as if their souls are completely connected.

She then understood Li Ge's thoughts.

She slowly extended the bone ring on her hand, which collided with the outstretched hand of Li Ge, who appeared as a phantom.

The next moment, the yellow-purple knight reappeared, but this time, it wasn't Saya who transformed into the knight; rather, the knight appeared as if it were a summoned creature.

"A dazzling entrance!" Li Ge struck a pose, then reached out and wiped his forehead, though he could only reach the tentacles of the King Insect Armor on the top of his head.

"You just came back to life like that?" Valerie was stunned.

"Well, it can't really be called a resurrection." Li Ge lifted his breastplate, and the others saw that the armor was completely empty, just a hollow space. Li Ge was like a ghost possessing the armor.

"Where is the Ring of the Sea God?" Yilian asked this important question.

Li Ge extended his left ring finger, where he wore two rings on his armor: one was the Cursed Love Bone Ring, and the other was the Sea God Ring.

It was Xiaoye who put it on him herself.

Xiaoye also extended her hand, and on the ring finger of her left hand were two rings, namely the Cursed Love Bone Ring and the Love God Ring.
