"Invincible? Is it still you?"

Lothia stroked the mane of the headless warhorse beneath her, then gently placed her hand on the helmet of the empty horse armor... She could feel that the warhorse she had created was undoubtedly the one she knew well.

It was still the same horse that sacrificed itself to save him; its name was "Invincible".

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss~~"

The headless warhorse neighed from where its head had been, and Lotia understood its meaning... It was a declaration of return, a remembrance of her.

That's great, that's really great.

While sharing her joy with Mr. Illa and the others who were connected with her through a mysterious emotional bond, Lothia looked at Cassandra Abnesia, who had been pierced by her knight's lance.

"Actually, it shouldn't be you anymore, Invincible..."

As Lothia spoke, stroking the warhorse beneath her, she murmured, her voice sounding distant and wistful, "The headless knight's warhorse is not bound to the headless knight himself... So, are you special?"

"..."

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

Lothia was somewhat confused by Wu Di's answer. She asked in confusion, "You mean 'in the tree,' right? What does that mean? What kind of tree?"

Even if the headless knight and the warhorse are connected to some extent, Lotia still cannot understand this point... This is no longer within the scope of "some extent".

Thinking this, Lotia looked at Satan Ye, who was frantically fighting with Cassandra Abnesia, and at the faint red dragon phantom behind Satan Ye... At this moment, it might not be appropriate to interfere with His Highness the Demon King.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

Having temporarily entrusted the battle to Prince Satan, Lotia, still ready to provide support at any moment, listened to her mount's words and murmured to herself: "[The World Tree, the serpentine woman, laughs, 'Let me return'... The World Tree? The serpentine woman?"

“Shadow creatures fear the second type, dragons fear the first type… Well, I’m just giving a general overview. In fact, many races’ extraterrestrials need to consider other factors. For example, with liches, you have to consider the situation of their soul casket.”

Kayn spoke sincerely, placing his hand on the massive lightsaber that pierced his chest, and said, "The first option doesn't need explanation, but as for the second... inducing the opponent to make an attack and wear them down is one aspect, but the rest is up to you to figure out."

"You're doing quite well right now, injecting enough mana with each attack to consume the mana in Lunwai's body... Hey~ you're even more amazing than I imagined!"

As Kayn said this, he looked at Inra, whose face was beginning to show confusion, and Ernie, who was frowning beside him. He shrugged and felt his regeneration speed getting slower and slower, saying, "Hahaha, you don't understand, do you? You can ask Ernie if you don't understand."

Without Ira even having to ask, Ernie immediately gave the answer—"He's bored."

Yinla: "..."

Kayn nodded, looked up at the sky, opened his mouth and breathed heavily. He was a little out of breath, and he managed to say, "Yeah~ because I'm so bored... hahahahahahaha!"

!

As he laughed, Kayn shed tears... He looked inexplicably pitiful.

But Yinla showed no mercy. He continued to increase the input to Mana, and the bright lightsaber illuminated everything around him as if it were being baptized by holy light. He calmly said, "To put it bluntly, you're just a bored madman, right?"

This is a very accurate summary.

"Haha, more or less... But don't think I'm weird, actually everyone's pretty much the same, it's just that I feel life is meaningless even more, sigh~ boredom is just so boring ahhhhhh~~ so bored~ so bored~"

Casually letting out strange cries, Kayn looked at his hands, which were gradually turning from pale to gray, and said with a grin, "Right, I'm about to die, aren't I? Actually, I've been watching you for a long time, longer than many others."

As Kayn said this, he looked at the silent Inra and Ernie and seemed a little disappointed. He shrugged and said, "It's basically from the time you killed the first vampire, and then... your [Inra Card] is really fun."

"It kept me company during a long, boring period of time."

Kayn casually took out a deck of cards from his pocket, which was being protected by Mana... Even when the deck was cut off earlier, he maintained its protection, which explains why his defenses were so weak before.

"This is a special deck of cards I made by collecting your quotes. Besides the numbers and symbols, the center of the deck records the words you said. Now I'm giving it to you. Do with it as you like."

"Don't worry, there are no fragments of my soul inside, nor any backup plans. Although I have the ability to do such a thing, I have no interest in doing it. Staying in this boring world for even one more day is torture!"

[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]

He kept rambling on about Kayn, his body covered in gray-white cracks as he let his chest slash through the lightsaber. He walked towards Yinra, his hands now powerless, and ruffled Yinra's head, who neither dodged nor flinched. He laughed loudly, "Hahahaha!"

!

"..."

Subsequently, the vampire named Kayn slowly disintegrated from his fingers, rapidly collapsing to his head and feet, before collapsing with a bang and turning into a pile of white-gray debris.

"Snap~"

A deck of cards with the character "尹" (Yin) fell onto the deck.

...

"Holy crap, what is this?"

Even the usually mild-mannered Yinla couldn't help but start swearing. He retracted all his [wings] with a tormented expression... In that instant, he felt the absurdity of the world.

Although I gained a lot, there is no doubt that...

I really wanted to laugh, but it was a bitter laugh.

"My fanatical admirer?"

As Yinla questioned him, he looked up at the sky. Though he couldn't see anything, it was as if he were staring at everyone outside of the world. His expression was somewhat unpleasant: "That guy (Kayn) told me all this because I am interesting to him. It's a reward... just like an audience member giving a tip to the lead actor of a favorite play?"

Moreover, having experienced a similar era, Yinla knew there was a more suitable adjective: "live streamer." He suddenly felt like he was a live streamer... Viewers freely gave tips and interacted based on their own feelings.

Even opening the box and face-to-face meetings.

...

It seems that the end of civilizations shares commonalities... whether here or in the past; the destruction of civilizations has similar, even identical, underlying causes, those four words being—

Amusing ourselves to death.
