In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

The two ice spears were easily deflected by Jonawa, and the Traveler rushed forward again, unleashing a continuous barrage of sword strikes.

However, all of the Traveler's attacks were easily blocked by Jonawa; the Traveler's offensive was like child's play in front of her.

Then, Jonawa launched a counterattack, casually unleashing a series of attacks that forced the Traveler to dodge with all his might.

Even so, after dodging Jonawa's attack, the traveler showed no intention of giving up.

He concentrated fire elemental power into the longsword in his hand and unleashed a series of fire elemental sword energies.

Ronawa raised her hand to block the sword energy, and the spilled sword energy landed on the buildings, causing considerable damage.

At this moment, the "corpse" on the ground began to move, in other words, the resurrection that Ronawa had just mentioned had been completed.

Jonawa was also distracted because she noticed this.

The traveler seized the opportunity to gather wind element and rush over, the wind blade slicing across Ronawa's shoulder, leaving a small wound.

To dissipate the force, the traveler rolled several times before unleashing the power, then without hesitation, gathered fire element again and swung his sword.

However, at that moment, Ronawa unleashed an even more terrifying power, instantly repelling the oncoming traveler.

The traveler was thrown back, the blade piercing the ground and carving a deep trench before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, Ronawa's signature huge eyeballs appeared behind her, and her aura became exceptionally terrifying.

The traveler, undeterred, stood up and stared intently at Ronava.

Ronawa showed no intention of continuing her attack; she merely snorted and then vanished.

The ruler of death, Ronava, was not afraid of travelers; it was just his arrogance that was causing his troubles.

She didn't want those mortals she looked down upon to see her true face, which is why she left before those corpses were fully resurrected and awakened.

After Jonawa left, the traveler could no longer hold on. He knelt down, supporting himself with his sword, and gasped for breath.

At this moment, Mitia woke up and looked around at her surroundings with some confusion.

The clown Piero also lowered his guard at this moment. He had been standing by Paimon's side, fearing that Jonawa would attack Paimon again.

Paimon woke up slowly from the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes in a very cute way.

The traveler rushed over and hugged Paimon tightly.

Upon seeing this, most of the people watching the sky screen breathed a sigh of relief and also revealed knowing smiles.

Reunion after danger is always comforting.

"I knew that little thing would be alright, but I didn't expect our commander to care so much about it."

Rosalind's words made Sandonne think of a possibility: "Since Paimon is a creation of the Sky Isle, why did she leave the Sky Isle? Could it be related to our Commander?"

Arecino agreed with Sandone's idea: "It's very possible that he was once a court mage of Canria, burdened with an undead curse."

Perhaps he used some method to summon Paimon from the Isle of Sky to Kanria.

"If that's the case, Paimon is quite pitiful; he seems to have lost a lot of his memories."

"Losing those memories might not be a bad thing for her; at least she's happy with the traveler now, isn't she?"

As he spoke, Sandone looked up at the sky again, while Paimon looked at the traveler who was clinging to him tightly, still somewhat puzzled.

"A traveler?"

I miss you so much, Paimon.

"Look at what you're saying, haha, we haven't been apart for very long, have we?"

"This time is different; you seem to be in pretty good shape?"

"Yes, I feel like I've fully recovered. I took a nap and woke up here."

The clown and the person speaking to him exerted an energy on me, which I vaguely felt counteracted some unsettling force.

"And Mitia also deserves credit."

Arecino, Rosalind, Sandone, and Columbia all knew of Mitia, that he was a scholar and an important figure in the Queen's plans.

But apart from that, they rarely interacted, since Media didn't belong to the Fools' Clan.

Even Sandonne, who was also a scholar, was in a completely different field from him.

"Mitia, we underestimated this guy before."

Rosalyn laughed and said, "I didn't have much contact with him before, so I didn't expect him to have such abilities."

Neither Arecino nor Columbia commented.

On the screen, the clown Piero and Mitis also walked over.

"I apologize, traveler. I was in a bit of a rush at the theater earlier because I was eager to verify some of my conjectures."

Please rest assured about your partner; we reversed the effects of the experimental energy on him. Lord Jester specifically instructed me to do this.

"This is a proper meeting, Traveler. Paimon's condition couldn't be delayed, so I took her away directly. I hope you don't mind."

"It really startled me. I hope you don't mind that I injured someone here."

The traveler's words were clearly laced with anger, while Paimon asked curiously, "But, but why would someone as important as you care about my affairs?"

"When you first came to Zhidong, I said that we had spent some time together a long time ago."

"Yes, you did mention it. I did feel a sense of familiarity when I first met you."

"We can catch up later, Mitia. Let's continue with the report. What conclusions did you draw from your final experiment in energy research, which you conducted ahead of schedule?"

"The good news is that my suspicions about the rule of the dead have been confirmed."

The bad news is that I recommend a complete halt to the experiments and the mistletoe project, as we currently have absolutely no breakthrough methods… This is based on the researchers' completely rational judgment.”

"Sigh, I respect your opinion. Let's pause, before we take down the Death Ruler."

"What? What? What are you talking about? You...you want to get rid of the Death Ruler, Ronawa? How? Kill her?"

"We'll use any means necessary to make her no longer a threat, but until that happens, everything we do will be in vain."

"Traveler, after what just happened, I've determined Jonawa's purpose, or rather, the triggering condition for the Curse of Death."

Tell me about it.

"What she is doing is blocking Winter's technological progress, preventing Winter from possessing any means that could threaten the laws of nature."

"A lackey of justice!"

The clown's assessment of the dead ruler, Ronawa, remained as blunt as ever.

"And everything that leads to technological progress—ideas, research, experiments, and so on—can become the conditions that trigger the curse of death."
