Volume 9, Chapter 32 – Reunion

She clearly had Tianyin’s appearance, yet the words she spoke were completely different in style from Tianyin.

For a brief moment, the three who had found Tianyin all subconsciously thought that this was not Tianyin…

However, the girl before them still carried that sense of familiarity that only Tianyin could give. That was Tianyin’s aura, something the three of them could not be deceived about…

“Xiaoyin… what’s wrong with you?”

The one who spoke was Ysera. However, before Ysera could continue speaking, the silver-haired girl who was watching them made her move.

In just an instant, the scene before them turned completely blurry, and in the next moment… a fair little hand appeared right in front of Ysera.

The moment she saw that small hand, an intense sense of danger surged in an instant. But just as Ysera reacted to the danger, the silver-haired girl’s attack had already arrived.

Even Ysera, a Throne-tier, did not manage to react in time, let alone Fisiel and Yivrea, who only possessed Legendary-tier strength.

So, aside from Ysera, the other two did not react to the silver-haired girl’s attack at all. And by the moment Ysera realized the attack had landed, everything was already too late…

“Suu…”

Crimson light flooded this pitch-black space. Within the space once again illuminated by that light, Ysera finally, with difficulty, clearly saw “Tianyin’s” true appearance at that moment.

Eyes devoid of any vitality… and that state which gave a pure sense of having no soul at all, like an inanimate object…

The shock and confusion in her heart had only just risen when Ysera felt her vision go dark, and then she fell into endless darkness…

It took only a single exchange…

Ysera and the other two were captured by Tianyin without any resistance.

With one hand gently lifting the unconscious Ysera, Tianyin silently arrived before the other two girls who had also been affected by her attack and fallen unconscious.

The Astrologer Witch Yivrea, and that famous Knight Princess, Fisiel…

Silently lifting all three with one hand, Tianyin examined their faces for a moment, then disappeared from this pitch-black space.

As for what she went to do… perhaps it really was just to erase the memories of the three of them…

……

“What’s going on? Why did I suddenly fall asleep?”

When Ysera woke up, it was already the third day since they had found Tianyin within the spatial rift… in other words, there were still four days until the decisive battle… of course, neither Ysera nor Yivrea and the others knew what would happen four days later.

Waking from her slumber, Ysera immediately checked her surroundings. After discovering that she was in her room at the Northern Fortress, the tension in her heart finally eased.

As for why she had been subconsciously tense… it was not without reason. Before losing consciousness, Ysera vaguely remembered that she seemed to have had a dream.

In that dream, she found the missing Tianyin in a pitch-black place, but before she could even speak to Tianyin, Tianyin directly made a move and killed her…

Of course, it was just a dream. Ysera was very clear about that… however, the more she recalled that dream, the more oppressive her mood became…

“What exactly… happened?”

Three days of sleep had left Ysera’s memories somewhat disordered… at least, since waking up, she could not recall at all how she had fallen asleep…

Just as Ysera was secretly puzzled, the door to the room was gently pushed open… and immediately after, Ysera saw a girl with long blood-red hair walk in.

“You’re awake? Looks like you’ve rested enough.”

“Who are you?”

“Me? Ah, I almost forgot you don’t know me yet… well, that’s only natural. After all, back then you were always facing Xiaoyin, not me.”

“Hm?”

Ysera felt nothing but confusion at the girl’s somewhat inexplicable words.

“Ahem…”

Seemingly sensing Ysera’s confusion, the red-haired girl cleared her throat and revealed a friendly smile.

“Actually, we met once a long time ago… um, you should still remember it, right? The place was also the Northern Fortress, right here. Back then, you were still in your giant dragon form… and then you descended over the Northern Fortress…”

“And after that, there was me.”

“You?”

“Yeah, yeah. You remember, right? Back then, didn’t Xiaoyin suddenly become very strong?”

The red-haired girl did not need to say much. As soon as she brought it up, Ysera recalled what had happened during the Undead invasion back then.

That was indeed her first battle with Xiaoyin. Although she had been sleeping before that, when it came to Xiaoyin’s strength, her other personality, Xiaobingxue, knew it very well.

But… the Xiaoyin who, in her eyes, was not particularly strong at all, ended up pinning her to the ground and beating her mercilessly…

This was something Ysera remembered vividly…

And calling it a dark history would not be an exaggeration…

“Wait, you’re talking about that incident. The reason Xiaoyin suddenly became so strong… was it because of you?”

In an instant, Ysera understood what the red-haired girl had meant earlier. Very clearly, the culprit behind her being beaten into the ground by Xiaoyin back then was the person in front of her.

“That’s right. Actually, I knew about your existence a long time ago, but unfortunately you didn’t know me. However… because of all kinds of unexpected situations, I gained a new body. So now, it’s not too late to properly get to know each other~”

“You… back then it was because of you that I got beaten up by Xiaoyin!”

“No, no, it wasn’t because of me. It was because the one who beat you back then was actually me personally.”

“Eh?”

Seeing Ysera’s wonderfully expressive face, Samael smiled mischievously.

Just as Ysera was about to seriously question what Samael meant by that, another figure that Ysera was somewhat familiar with walked in.

“Alright, let’s stop the jokes here for now. It’s more important to talk about proper matters next.”

When she clearly saw who had entered, Ysera’s expression also turned to surprise.

“I heard you went back to Nature. Why did you come back again, Xingyu Muxi?”

That’s right. The one who came was the Elven Queen who should have been in the Nature Plane, Xingyu Muxi.

“Why can’t I come back? Something this big happened with Xiaoyin, of course I had to return.”

Facing Ysera’s instinctive question, Xingyu Muxi let out a somewhat helpless sigh.

Of course, the so-called big matter naturally referred to Tianyin destroying the world.

However…

“Ah? Even you know about Xiaoyin going missing?”

Ysera was greatly shocked, thinking that the news of Tianyin’s disappearance had even spread to the Nature Plane…
