despair
The stagnant time and space began to flow again at this moment. Mu Chuyue felt Laye's translucent tentacles passing through the distant time and gently touching her.
Her soul drifted in the passing of time, gradually transforming from a dark night star dragon into the form of a human beastmaster.
The flowing time rushed into the long river in the distance. Mu Huoyue saw in it Ellen's life as a human being, and the end point she reached after she left.
The revival pilgrimage was successfully completed, and Eren was awarded the title of Mithra, representing the name of "Count Star Dragon", by the Human United Alliance in the Hela region. He has devoted his life to the cause of harmonious coexistence between humans and extraordinary creatures.
More and more humans are forming unique bonds with supernatural creatures and gaining the power of the Contract. The field of Beastmasters has rapidly developed from the Hela region and has gradually expanded to the entire world.
Humans and supernatural creatures, as well as the advent and exploration of secret realms, have ushered in a new era.
Mu Huiyue knew that in the next hundred years or so, the Hela region would be plunged into a new round of wars between beastmasters, giving rise to Hela beastmasters like His Majesty Lilyfar, the first monarch of Arcadia, who would be exiled to other places. But Eren, as the Earl of Star Dragon, did not know all this.
Nurtured by the first generation contract, he lived to the age of 104, without any illness or disaster, and finally died suddenly in his own mansion.
Ellen placed the blue rose left by the Dark Night Star Dragon into a special item made of extraordinary materials called the [Eternal Hourglass].
He would come to see this beautiful rose every day. His strong thoughts would irrigate the flower with vast dark hidden energy. The blue rose would always remain alive in the [Eternal Hourglass], blooming just like the moment Hiiragi Tsuki handed it to him, and would never wither.
This blue rose frozen in the [Eternal Hourglass] has always been placed on the table in Allen's study, which is where he spends the longest time of the day.
When he was old and his body was no longer able to move easily, Allen placed the [Eternal Hourglass] on the desk in his beast taming space.
The space in this spiritual realm has always been a reflection of Ellen's impression of "home". It started from the country castle in his childhood, gradually changed as he grew older, and finally settled into a mansion that Mu Huoyue was very familiar with.
——[Earl Star Dragon Mansion].
The mansion in the Beast Taming Space is almost exactly the same as the Star Dragon Earl's Mansion in reality. Allen's consciousness is still the same as every day in the past. He stays in the study for a long time and talks to this blue rose that will not respond.
There is a dramatic follow-up to the Blue Rose. This extraordinary plant was originally an ornamental flower cultivated by the [Flower Language Nightingale]. More than ten years later, a powerful individual from this group evolved into the imperial race [Dream Building Nightingale].
All the blue roses cultivated by [Dream Nightingale] in the [Flower Nightingale] stage were upgraded to [Nightmare Rose], an S-level dark extraordinary resource with huge hidden energy, which happened to include the one that Mu Chuyue had picked and handed over.
Even the original body of the [Dream Nightingale] could no longer cultivate new [Nightmare Roses], so this precious supernatural resource decreased year by year until it finally disappeared.
After the death of [Count Star Dragon] Ellen Mithendra, the spiritual realm of the legendary ninth-level beastmaster did not dissipate.
The beast-taming space in which he had concentrated most of his life's thoughts, under the pull of strong dark-attribute hidden energy, turned into an independent domain with a structure similar to that of an extraordinary secret realm, touching the outside of the rules of time and space, and drifting in the sea of ​​imaginary numbers.
Until the connection of cause and effect reappeared, this space touched the edge of reality, bringing a terrified Dayan girl.
The thoughts of the Lord of Space turned into a tiny skeleton and was born next to the hourglass of the Everlasting Flower. It followed its instinct and moved forward until it found the injured human girl in the room on the second floor.
After more than eight hundred years, he finally saw the person he missed again, and saw what a touching look the person was under the shadow with whom he once danced.
[The blue rose will lead us to reunion. 】
…
Thoughts rushed into her mind, but what finally stopped was Ellen's eyes as blue as the ocean, and his gentle gaze towards her.
Skeletons obviously have no eyes, but Mu Liuyue felt as if she had been stared at like this countless times.
She should have realized earlier that Ellen had been Ellen from the beginning.
The unparalleled tacit cooperation in the battle, the image of "home" in the beast control space, and the blue rose...
It was she who told Ellen that the flower would lead to their reunion, and thinking about it, Ellen had handed her this beacon that was like a burning flame of the soul at every stage of his evolution.
Ellen...
Ellen.
It was as if a fire was burning in her heart. Mu Chuyue had never felt such a strong desire to see him immediately.
She had never been away from Ellen's side for so long since they first met.
The collapse of time and space finally became stable. Mu Huiyue felt that her consciousness floated to the surface in one breath and she could finally breathe fresh air smoothly.
"Mmm...!" Xiao Meng released the tentacles that were wrapped around the Beastmaster, spread them out into a long strip in the air, and didn't want to move at all.
Including the period as Ruo Meng, this was the first time it truly used [Time Travel Dream] to travel through time and space, and it lasted for more than five years at the beginning, which really almost exhausted Mu.
Even with the coordinates left by the Night Tide Star Envoy, it is not easy to find the exact return route after such a long time. Xiao Meng originally wanted Mu Chuyue to stay in that time and space as long as possible, but holding on until the end of the celebration banquet was already the limit.
Mu Chuyue's consciousness was in a trance. After being a supernatural creature for such a long time, he suddenly returned to the human state and still felt a little uncomfortable.
However, she quickly adjusted her state. She had had similar experiences in the past when she was in a secret realm that touched the laws of time and space. However, this time...
Mu Chuyue gently stroked Laye, who had exhausted all his energy and was extremely tired, and called it back to the beast taming space, returning to the [rest hut] to have a good rest.
As the summoning circle reversed, a Nightmare Knight on a tall warhorse appeared beside her.
Allen looked a little nervous, and his arms holding his head were extremely stiff. He rolled off the nightmare horse, took two steps towards the beastmaster, and solemnly put his head back on the empty neck.
The time that Mu Chuyue's consciousness was disconnected from the Beast Taming Space was not as long as five years. Judging from the physical sensation in the Beast Taming Space, it was only within a few minutes.
Similar phenomena often occurred when she touched upon high-level secret realms in the past. In addition, with Xiao Meng following her, the pets in the beast-controlling space did not show too much worry. Only Allen knew that Hiiragi was finally going to meet him for real.
The skeleton with blue flames burning in its eyes raised its head and looked at its beastmaster, hesitating slightly.
Before he could speak, Mu Huiyue had already walked forward and hugged the tall body of the Nightmare Knight tightly.
"Click...?" (Hiiragi...?)
Allen's voice was a little shaky. The human girl's body was very warm, with a temperature that an undead creature would never have. He subconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged her back, as if he was hugging a light and soft cloud.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Mu Chuyue felt his chin resting on the thick death fog.
Even with her sudden attack, Eren still covered his armor with death mist to prevent the hard parts from scratching the human girl's fragile skin.
He is always so attentive and gentle. Whether as a human beastmaster or a contracted pet, he always takes good care of Mu Chuyue.
Now that I think about it, Ellen should have realized long ago that she was the former Night Star Dragon.
"Click..." (Because...)
Because I haven't really met the Hiiragi of the past yet, I don't want to have these memories alone.
"Click." (When I was still a little skeleton, my memory was actually very vague, and only the instinct in my soul remained. I felt that I loved Hiiragi very much and didn't want you to get hurt. Being able to sign a contract with you was the happiest thing in the world.)
“Click, click.” (It seems that because of me, Hiiragi thinks that the little skeleton is a very friendly and caring supernatural creature... But in fact, it is not.)
“Click.” (When we were in the Castle of the Dead, I felt that you were the one I was waiting for, so I wanted to protect you.)
Mu Huiyue recalled the scene when they first met. No wonder the situation in the D-level secret realm [Star Dragon Earl's Mansion] was so strange. In essence, it was born in the spiritual domain of the beastmaster Allen. Therefore, the core of the secret realm is the [Blue Eternal Flower] that carries his thoughts for most of his life.
The little skeleton transformed from Eren's soul is the [Lord of the Secret Realm] of this secret realm.
"Click, click." (When he evolved into a card soldier, his memory became clearer, but also more confusing.)
"Click." (I don't know the true connection between Hiiragi and Dark Star Dragon, and I even think that this is probably a remnant of memories from the previous life... But no matter what, as long as I can stay with Hiiragi, it is enough for me.)
Mu Huiyue raised his head and his eyes fell on the blue flame burning in the skull's right eye.
After her evolution, Ellen is more considerate than before and prefers to stay in her shadow.
She recalled the cozy little house with three bedrooms and a living room in the shadow space. Ellen liked to brand his own territory with the reflection of "home"... This did not change no matter how much time had passed.
"Click." (Until I evolved into Nightmare Knight, I found all the shapes of my soul from Nightmare Rose.)
"Click, click." (But I dare not say it to you anymore.)
"Click, click..." (Because I am to Hiiragi...)
Mu Huoyue still looked at the fire in his eyes, as if waiting for Allen to say the words that had been hidden in his heart for more than eight hundred years.
The Nightmare Knight didn't dare to look directly into the girl's bright eyes.
He didn't dare to reveal any sincerity, because now he was just a skeleton.
Mu Huoyue did not give him a chance to escape and reached out to hold the Nightmare Knight's helmet.
"Eren, this... reminds me of the time when I first made the contract with you."
The little skeleton who saved her at all costs in the Castle of the Dead, rarely shrank back and hesitated when she proposed the contract.
Because he is just a little skeleton from a low-elite race who is despised by everyone.
"Do you remember my answer?"
The human girl's eyes stared at him, flickering with a faint light, like a sea of ​​stars at night.
Of course Ellen remembered.
This was the beastmaster he had chosen, the human he had fallen in love with, the only miracle in the universe.
The only person who would cross the world and time to meet him, and respond to this soul resonance between different races, is Hiiragi.
"Click..." (Hiiragi, I love you...)
The clicking sound of the Nightmare Knight dissipated in the crisp ending tone. His non-existent heart seemed to be beating heavily, and the blue flames in his eyes were also burning quietly and rhythmically.
[Origin Elf] said that human emotions are the most irregular on this planet, but they are a powerful force that can prevent the arrival of chaos.
The most chaotic yet purest part of it, which can truly bring about miracles and is the original power for the birth of extraordinary creatures with dark attributes, is [love].
Without any words to embellish, Mu Huoyue had already felt the emotions conveyed in the contract. It was the echo of the existence named [Ellen] that sounded in the depths of her soul.
