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

The little goblin looked at the magician who was shedding black tears and said in panic:

"Ezana, how did you become like this? The last time I saw you, you were still so little and covered in wounds. I've already healed your wounds, but you're still crying...

"But, but you are so tall now, you have become an adult, you... you are dead?"

"Yes, I'm already dead, Xingdian..."

The Deep Dead Kelekas lowered his head deeply with a hint of relief and a hint of despair.

"What's wrong with you, Ezana? What happened?"

Xingdian flew around sadly, but never dared to get close to the magician who was spewing out black mist.

Finally, he flew to Ye Yiyi and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"Big brother, can you tell Xingdian what happened?"

"Do you still remember the time when you turned into a star-shaped butterfly?" Ye Yiyi asked.

"Butterfly?"

After thinking for a moment, Xingdian showed a troubled expression.

"Xingdian... Xingdian seemed to have had a very long dream. In the dream, Xingdian turned into a very large butterfly. Xingdian... Xingdian seemed to have abused his power and destroyed many lives..."

The little goblin's cheeks turned pale, and she looked at Ye Yiyi with sadness and self-blame.

"Big brother, Xingdian, did Xingdian do this?"

"Yes."

Ye Yiyi stretched out his hand and let the little goblin, whose wings were drooping and curled up, fall into his hand.

"But that's not Xingdian's fault, because Xingdian wouldn't do that, nor would he want to do that."

As he spoke, he looked at Kelekas, his eyes of pity gradually turning cold.

"You're really disgusting for letting a little fairy do something like this... Why, shouldn't you give her an explanation?"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Xingdian... I'm really sorry, please forgive me..."

The magician fell to his knees, completely defeated, and burst into tears.

"Ezana..."

Xingdian looked at him sadly, "You've changed, Ezana. You're no longer the good kid who respected life...

"Xingdian... Xingdian clearly gave you the best blessing, but you..."

The little goblin turned his head and looked around at the tower, looking at the dead lives that were already glowing with a blue light, and closed his eyes sadly.

"You've abused Xingdian's blessing... Xingdian, I cannot forgive you!"

"Can't you forgive...me..."

The crying died down and Kerekas's voice grew quieter.

Ye Yiyi frowned slightly. He found that the health bar that was about to drop to zero was finally stuck at the last section.

"very good."

The scattered black mist was instantly retracted into his body. Kelekas raised his head, and his gray eyes returned to indifference, without any emotion at all.

"With your words, Xingdian, whatever Ezana did in his life, whether it was right or wrong, has come to an end now."

"Those who are alive, leave this place..."

Ye Yiyi's figure was wrapped in a strong wind and disappeared from the spot.

"Shh..."

A silver light flashed, and Ye Yiyi pointed his sword diagonally.

"thump!"

Behind him, Kelekas's headless body fell heavily to the ground.

"You're right. Everything you have ends now."

He retracted his sword, turned around, and reached out to catch the head falling from the sky.

Kelekas's health bar is empty.

The black mist in his hand gradually dissipated, leaving only a bloodless head.

Soul Echo +16500

"Pooh!"

He looked down at the handsome young face and spat in his face.

"Immortal? The health bar is here, and you're telling me I'm immortal? You filthy thing!"

After greeting the culprit warmly, he looked at Xingdian, who was curled up in the palm of his right hand and sobbing softly.

"It's over, Xingdian."

"Um……"

The little goblin rubbed his eyes, struggled to get up from his hands, flapped his wrinkled wings, and flew to the head in his left hand.

"Aizana, you have tarnished the blessing of Xingdian. Xingdian will never forgive you!"

She stretched out her hand, and a point of deep blue starlight flew out from between the eyebrows of the head and returned to Xingdian's hand.

Afterwards, the young face aged at a speed visible to the naked eye until it turned into a skinny old man with wrinkles all over his face.

"Humph!"

After doing all this, Xingdian snorted angrily, then flew to Ye Yiyi's forehead and buried himself deep in his golden hair.

Ye Yiyi had a strange expression on his face. He glanced down at the old man, then looked up at the little goblin above his head who was letting out a tiny exclamation.

Why does every little goblin like to run over his head?

"Are you okay, Xingdian?"

He took out a rope, hung the head behind his waist, and asked casually.

"Xingdian is fine, thank you for your concern, big brother."

"Really? You were crying just now."

"It's true. Xingdian actually understands that humans are inherently chaotic. Even the kindest people can harbor evil thoughts.

"But they have no power, so they have no way to realize their ideas.

“Xingdian should not have forgotten to take back the blessing given to Ezana, because then Ezana would just be an ordinary human being and would live an ordinary life.

"He won't gain power, nor will he get the opportunity to realize his evil ambitions... Although, in the end, Xingdian was still wrong..."

Xingdian became depressed.

The logic is so smooth, this little devil is so smart?!

Ye Yi was shocked!

Lililu, Lililu, when will you learn from these predecessors?

"You just said blessing, what's the difference between that and blessing?"

Ye Yiyi came to the headless corpse and bent down to search.

"A blessing is a [blessing] that can be bestowed upon many people, but a blessing can only be given to one person. It is a [blessing of a wish] and is very precious!"

Xingdian quickly regained his energy, then sniffed, flapped his wings, and flew to Ye Yiyi's left arm, staring at the silver ring inlaid with pink diamonds.

"Look, big brother, this is the blessing from Nivea!"

"That's a very precious thing, and I'm very grateful to Nivea."

Ye Yiyi smiled, searched the corpse for a staff and a ring, then stood up.

"Xingdian, what blessing did you grant him?"

"It is the blessing of life and wisdom."

“What are the specific effects?”

"Your affinity for life will also make you smarter."

Xingdian flew back to his head and sighed helplessly.

"Because when Ezana was little, he was very clumsy and often got hurt. Xingdian always had to go and heal him. There was no other way... Xingdian had no choice but to grant him this blessing."

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi was silent for a moment.

It was not until then that he understood what Xingdian meant by "doing something wrong".

His enhanced wisdom made him a magician.

His affinity for life allowed him to create [Living Magic] and research methods to transform life into magical creatures.

"Xingdian..." He sighed deeply, "You are so wrong."

Perhaps her original intention in bestowing blessings was good, but the consequences that followed were extremely tragic.

"Xingdian knows..."

The little fairy was extremely frustrated. "Xingdian shouldn't have slept in. Xingdian will go to Nivea-sama to receive punishment."

"Sleeping in?"

“Because Xingdian overslept, he forgot to retrieve the blessing from Ezana.

"Xingdian failed to follow the rules set by Lady Luna."

"Rules? What rules?" Ye Yiyi couldn't help but ask.

"The blessings granted by the goblins to humans can only last for ten years at most, and they must be taken back upon expiration.

"This is also the reason why many child prodigies among humans become mediocre in adulthood."

"There are such rules...but what about those who died from Ezana's power?"

"People?" Xingdian was a little confused. "Didn't their souls return to the earth?"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Ye Yiyi was a little confused.

"As long as those souls return to the earth safely, life will not perish, so it doesn't matter."

“Is that so???”

Ye Yiyi felt it was ridiculous. According to the little goblin's logic, didn't those people die in vain?

But then he realized that goblins and humans have different perspectives.

What Xingdian cannot accept is the abuse of power and the harming of those lives while they are still alive.

Death, although a big deal to humans, is just a necessary cycle of life to the spirits of nature.

He suddenly thought of Lilylu.

At that time in the Weapons Museum, when she said that the director's soul had returned to the earth and she was no longer sad, Ye Yiyi should have thought of this.

This is the truth, but he still feels a little uncomfortable.

"I...can't quite accept it." He sighed softly.

"Xingdian...I don't quite understand."

In the goblin's confusion, he put these things aside for the moment and looked down at the staff in his hand.

This is a wooden staff with a pitch-black appearance, slightly longer than the living amber staff. A colorless spherical gem is inlaid on the top, which looks a bit like a glass bead at first glance.
