This isn't a souls-like game at all.

The former fell and split Kelekas's body in half.

The latter passed by and cut it in half from the middle.

Kelekas's health bar dropped slightly.

"Tsk!"

Ye Yiyi glanced down at the health bar, frowned slightly, and smacked his lips.

The body, split into four pieces, fell to the ground, and black mist spread out from it, reconnecting the scattered body together.

Almost instantly, Kelekas was back on his feet, intact.

The hatred and anger in his eyes had disappeared, and he once again had that empty look of indifference to everything.

He withstood the greatsword of the rat knight and let it chop his body in half, but remained calm.

He raised his staff with the intact half of his body, and the air suddenly exploded amidst the thick black fog.

A gray-black circular shock wave spread in front of the staff, blasting the three-meter-tall body of the rat knight away.

Three magic arrows flew through the air, but were blocked by a shield condensed from black mist.

White flashes appeared one after another, and Kerekas took three steps back before he could gain his footing.

"The past in this mortal world is nothing but smoke."

He chanted softly, waved his hand to disperse the black mist shield, raised his staff forward, and pointed it directly at Ye Yiyi.

"Living ones, stop trying to interfere in the world of the dead. Kelekas is dead, and I have nothing to do with him anymore."

"Xingdian Butterfly." Ye Yiyi said expressionlessly.

"puff!!"

Kelekas' body shook violently, and he opened his mouth to spit out black mist. His indifferent eyes were once again filled with surging hatred and anger.

"Mercenary!! I want you dead!!"

"You see, it's not completely unrelated~"

Ye Yiyi spread his hands helplessly and shot out a tracking magic arrow.

White magical energy kept flashing from Kelekas's body. He suddenly rose up, and his pale body kept exploding, splashing out thick black mist.

The ratman knight beside him flapped its wings and flew back. Its right arm was broken and half of its chitinous shell was blown off, splashing out a large amount of white fluid.

The spell that Kelekas had just cast actually crippled the rat knight.

But the existence after metamorphosis has no life, so even if it is seriously injured, it never forgets its combat duties.

The silver sword came down heavily from behind, and the magician's head flew high.

Ye Yiyi waved his staff lightly, and the magic arrow immediately changed direction and flew towards the head.

The magical light exploded, and Kelekas's head turned to ashes instantly.

"As expected of the deceased, the blood is really thick."

He glanced at the health bar that had just dropped to half, shook his head helplessly, and looked up.

Above the headless body, the swirling black mist condensed the magician's indifferent face again.

"Stop it, you ignorant living being."

He moved his lifeless gray eyes and looked at Ye Yiyi.

"You can't kill a dead person, just like you can't stop the world from falling into disorder and stagnation... So, stop."

"Xingdian, you died so tragically!"

Ye Yiyi recited the spell with an expressionless face.

"Fuck the mercenary! I fucking killed him..."

The ratman knight raised his sword and chopped off Kelekas's hideous head.

Ye Yiyi raised his staff and shot a magic arrow that pierced the headless body.

You'll lose health no matter where you hit, and hitting the head won't result in a critical hit, so it's better to focus on the body.

"A pointless move."

After a moment, Kelekas' body returned to normal. He indifferently extended his staff, and a gray-white shock wave spread out, blowing the rat knight away again.

Then he raised his staff towards Ye Yiyi and shot out six balls of dark, deep mist vortexes in succession.

"Stop, living one, you can't kill me."

"I'm sorry, I'm born rebellious and I love going against people."

Ye Yiyi dodged the attack with Storm Steps. Just as he was about to chant a spell, he saw Kelekas condense the mist into thorns and calmly poke his ears.

"Can we play it like this?" He was stunned.

After Kelekas's eardrum was punctured, he was no longer disturbed by words and his strength increased greatly. With just a few spells, he beat the rat knight into pieces, leaving him in disfigurement.

"It's not just the high health, but the attack is also so high... It's worthy of the deep magic of the cursed."

"Roar!"

Black fog gathered in the sky, and a black dragon head emerged from it. As it roared, it opened its mouth and shot out black beams of light, tearing apart the magical creatures and feathered humanoids on the earth.

Ye Yiyi's wings spread out behind him, and he dodged the beam of light at an extremely fast speed.

He floated in the air, took out the Blue Demon Claw and took a big gulp, then looked at Kelekas on the magic tower.

"Get out of here, living one."

The indifferent and hoarse voice echoed in the black fog, but was slightly distorted by the strong wind.

"The age of stagnation is coming, and everything will return to silence. We, the dead, are the people of stagnation, and we will be reborn in that new world.

"And you don't belong here."

Ye Yiyi stared at him, and rarely answered. He just raised his staff and shot three consecutive magic star hail into the sky.

"It's a futile act." Kereska shook his head silently and tapped the staff in his hand.

A pitch-black curved rainbow rose from the sky, hanging upside down like a tray, catching all the hailstones.

"This guy is really difficult to deal with..."

The wind wings behind him dissipated, and the leaves fell to the ground one by one, and he sighed deeply.

"Leave, the living." Kelekas advised indifferently again.

"No, I swore you would die by my hand."

"Kerekas has died at your hands. Your goal has been achieved."

"Oh? Xingdian?"

Kelekas's eyes changed slightly, hatred and anger surged together, but eventually he calmed down.

"Every time you call her, you are promoting my reconciliation with my past in the mortal world." He said calmly.

"Give up, living one, this trick is no longer useful."

"Are you trying to say that you're going to let go of the past?"

"Yes."

Kelekas dispersed the black mist and said indifferently,

"Remembering the past, living in the present, and enjoying the future are things that only the living possess. They have nothing to do with me, a dead person stuck in a stagnation."

"But what about those innocent people who died because of you? You don't want to say that you're dead, so that's the end of it, right?"

"As it should be."

"Your mother is a stinking wall!"

Ye Yiyi raised the Silver Moon Staff with a blank expression.

"If I don't kill you, I'll eat shit."

“…” Kelekas looked at him silently, then widened his eyes slightly.

"~~~"

As the moondust crystals emitted colorful light, the light humming voice of the little fairy Nivea turned into invisible waves and spread around.

"This……"

A rare trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked up.

Out of nowhere, a blue light appeared in the air, and crystal-clear colorful light floated down.

The light gathered together, and a small figure was looming in it.

"Xing... Xingdian..."

The light gradually dimmed, and a little elf in blue feather clothes opened its eyes.

"Who is calling Xingdian~~~"

She looked around in confusion, then her eyes lit up. She flapped her wings and moved away from Kelekas who was spewing out black mist, and came to Ye Yiyi who had put down his staff.

"Are you calling Xingdian?"

She curiously circled around Ye Yiyi, her delicate face showing a gentleness like water, and then she smiled.

"You smell so good! And you have the scent and blessing of Nivea-sama. Big brother, do you know Nivea-sama?"

"Big brother..." Ye Yiyi's expression froze slightly.

Are you really not kidding me with this name?

"Xing!!! Dian!!!"

The shrill screams coming from the tower attracted the attention of the two.

The little elf named Xingdian looked over in confusion, then flew thoughtfully to Kelekas, whose whole body was filled with black mist.

"Xingdian! Xingdian! It's me! It's me! Do you still remember me? Do you still remember me?!"

He was visibly shocked, and his pale face was filled with surprise and disbelief.

Such intense emotional expression was reflected in Ye Yiyi's eyes as the rapidly decreasing blood bar.

"who are you?"

Xingdian fearfully avoided the black fog and looked at Kelekas's face with confusion.

"Yes! Yes! It's me, it's me, Ezana of Castia! Don't you remember me?"

"what!!"

After thinking silently for a moment, Xingdian's eyes lit up and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"It is you!"

Chapter 164 [Faceless Magician's Staff] and [Laurel Crown Ring]

"It's you! Are you the little boy who gave me flowers?"

Xingdian's innocent voice of surprise reached Kelekas's ears.

Ye Yiyi just jumped onto the magician's tower at this moment. When he turned around, he saw Kelekas's disheartened expression.

Black mist kept pouring out of his seven orifices, and his terrifying face had a deathly expression, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, which scared Xingdian so much that he retreated a long way.

"Then... the person who sent the flowers was not me..."

Kelekas reacted and quickly showed what he thought was a gentle expression, but to Ye Yiyi, it looked like he was crying.

"I am, I am the shortest... the shortest kid."

"The shortest child?" Xingdian recalled hesitantly.

During her brief recollection, Kelekas seemed to have been suspended in time. He stared at the goblin blankly, with a mixture of expectation and fear on his face.

Finally, Xingdian remembered.

"You are... Ezana?"
