King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 774 Alchemy of Embers
"Eh?"

"What? Who would ask someone to kill themselves? Isn't that just pushing someone into the fire?"

Seeing Erinus's stunned look, Yu Jin spread his hands helplessly. As expected, Erinus had some mental problems.

"But I can't commit suicide." Erinaceus responded somewhat frustratedly. She also wanted to commit suicide, but she couldn't do it at all.

While the body still existed, it might be possible to leave this world by physically killing it, but the key point was that Erinaceus was now left with only consciousness.

How does consciousness commit suicide? Erinaceus didn't know. She tried many methods, such as suffocation and hanging, but in the end, it was useless except making her feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, the distress on Erinace's face became even more intense, but there was no trace of fear on her face, as if she was only thinking about a difficult problem, not a matter concerning her life.

Hearing this, Yu Jin looked up at Erinath floating in front of him. She looked like Meluseen on the outside, but she was illusory on the inside.

The entire spirit body was just a hollow one. So he asked.

“You should ask yourself, do you really need to commit suicide?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Erinace trembled slightly as if some secret had been exposed.

"It must have taken you a long time to be so conscious, right? Shouldn't we talk about something happy? Why are you always so hung up on whether to commit suicide or not?"

Ember continued. Erinace looked fine on the outside, but he knew it was all illusion.

The reason why Erinas was able to talk freely in front of Yu Jin now was probably because Jacob had forcibly activated the heart, which invigorated Erinas' consciousness.

As long as the heart stops beating, the physical Erinaceus before him will probably disappear into thin air.

In this case, there is no need to resort to such special measures as killing Erinaceus.

"Let's talk about something happy?" Hearing this, Erinace tried to recall the beautiful things in his mind, but unfortunately there were too few of them.

The only good times were those I had with my mom, but those times were short and easily eroded.

Erinace began to recall the memory of his first coming to this world, a vague, gentle and beautiful time.

But how can blur compete with clarity? And the gentle tones are no match for the bright red bloodstains.

Those vague memories were gradually replaced by clear images, and the memory was gradually filled with the things that Erinaceus feared.

Fear, grief, and overwhelming hatred were so clear in his memory, and the key point was that these things were summoned by Erinace himself.

"Die! You monster!!!"

"I……"

"Why are you still alive!!!"

"right……"

"Something like you shouldn't be born in this world!!!"

"Snapped!!!"

A crisp sound of brain explosion resounded in Erinas' mind. The questions that suffocated her and the countless people she dared not face finally disappeared.

After taking a breath, regret and the thought of death filled her heart.

"You have a very good memory, you know? The expressions on their faces, whether they were angry or sad, were all very vivid."

Ember retracted his arm and said with emotion.

Erinace nodded: "That's why I don't dare to go see them."

As she spoke, she covered her eyes and squatted down. The two horns on her forehead were trembling because of her inner agitation.

"So... please kill me, Yu Jin... so that I can answer them directly."

Curled up in the air, Erinace said tremblingly. Every time she faced these questions, she was like a deflated ball, unable to say a word.

If she really died, and there really was an afterlife in the world, then surely she would be able to respond positively to those who died because of her, right?
"Tsk, if all the guilty people in the world were like you and your brother, I think Star Tears would have no market at all."

Yu Jin looked at Erinas's autistic appearance and shook his head with emotion.

"Star tears?"

"Nothing, a sin-atonement substance. I heard that applying it can absolve one's sins, but I've never used it."

"Besides, I'm too lazy to bring this kind of thing. As for atonement..., if you don't take action, who would know that you have atonement?"

Yu Jin stood up from the ground and rubbed his hands:

"How about you take action now?"

"Move? But I can't move at all, and it won't be long before my consciousness becomes blurred again." Erinas was still so decadent. She held her head and didn't want to look at anything.

But not being able to see something doesn't mean not being able to hear anything.

"Roar!!!"

A dragon roar was heard in the painting. This huge and familiar sound was like a paintbrush, which made the vagueness in Erinace's mind a little clearer.

"Du Lin..."

A hint of doubt appeared in Erinace's eyes, and then the image in his mind became clearer and clearer. It was a giant black dragon.

"Dulin? Dulin!"

She jumped up in surprise, but the joy in her eyes soon turned into confusion.

The dragon in front of her seemed different from what she remembered.

The hideous and dark body became pure white, while the pure and innocent eyes on the face were unexpectedly tired and aged.

If Durin before had a poisonous body but pure eyes, then now he is the opposite.

"Hmm...it seems better than I thought." Ember circled the white dragon several times and nodded with satisfaction.

"The transparent prism will refract the colorful light, Brother Ember...your alchemy..."

The words that came out of Du Lin's mouth left Yu Jin completely confused. He felt that this boy had grown up, but a little too fast.

"What are you talking about? Alchemy..."

Yu Jin took out the mint and the stamens of the flame flower, and then rubbed them vigorously in his hands.

An empty bottle was placed under his feet, and all the juice from rubbing was dripped into it.

"Look, flame essential oil! If you really want to talk, this is all I know about alchemy!" Yu Jin played with the bottle in his hand, then drank it.

"Burp~, no smell."

Yu Jin collected the empty bottle.

"I remember this shouldn't be called Fiery Essential Oil? And the raw materials should be frogs and Fiery Flower stamens, right?"

"So now you know my alchemy level?"

"..."

Durin and Erinus were silent.

"Du Lin, quickly teach your sister some tips, and then we can get started!"

Seeing that no one was talking, Yu Jin could no longer bear it, so he jumped up and patted Durin on the knee, asking him to give some advice to Erinus.

"Why do you know that Erinace is my sister, brother?"

"Because she didn't cry when I saw her for the first time, but she cried so hard when she saw me."

"Ok."

Du Lin shrank his head in disappointment. Didn't he expect that this was the person who betrayed his generation?
"Du Lin..., your body..."

"My body... might be chalky... right?"

Du Lin nodded, then shook his head. He spread his wings behind him, and the flawless dragon wings made any light that passed through become pure.

"Chalk...white..."

Erinus looked at Durin in surprise as he sat up straight. Chalk, if she remembered correctly, it seemed that only one of her mother's works had reached this level.

"Maybe not? I don't know what I am now."

As Du Lin spoke, his body began to change. The body made of white light began to collapse, and countless points of light sprinkled across the sky.

These spots of light fluttered in the air, and when they landed on the ground, they had already taken the shape of a person.

And the petite Du Lin was now surrounded by the crowd.

"If my mother were here, maybe I could ask her."

"Chalk, is that so?"
