I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

As a member of the Shore Watchers, Gray naturally knew the identity of the person before her.

Cecil Balzette.

The leader of the Shore Watchers, the strongest human known to date.

Unexpectedly, Leader Sissel came in person.

That's right. Since the organization called "Gravekeepers" by the Shadow Servant Sister has dispatched Legends, the Shore Guardians will definitely dispatch corresponding combat forces.

Leader Cecil is a true legend...

Now that even he has arrived, there is nothing to be afraid of such earth-shaking changes in the paradise.

This thought just arose in Gray's mind.

The next moment, the shadow that was originally rushing forward also stopped.

The shadow that originally enveloped Gray's body faded away and re-gathered in the air into a vague, distorted human figure, exactly the same as the appearance that the Shadow Servant Vice Captain usually presented.

But for some reason, the shadowy figure seemed inexplicably unreal to Gray.

Life was constantly draining from the shadowy figure... Gray felt like the dead indigenous people in Paradise—

Already dead, yet an illusory form remains.

"How...how could it be?"

Gray's figure just stood there in a daze.

She originally thought that although Sister Shadow Servant had a clash with the legendary gravekeeper in order to save her... her injuries should not have been serious.

If not, how could Sister Yingpu take me away from the scene?

But at this moment, the revived power of destiny deep in her soul gave Grey a clear answer.

Fighting against a legend with a sixth-level body... Even if it's just to block a fleeting gap, how can it not come at a price?

And the price is her life.

The real body of Shadow Servant Sister has passed away, and the one who escaped from the palace with Gray... was just a doppelganger created by Shadow Servant using his "Shadow Servant" ability to separate a small part of his soul.

But the essence of the soul is dead.

Naturally, the only thing that awaits this rootless and sourceless shadow incarnation is extinction.

This is just the last afterimage of a deceased person... No different from those deceased people in Paradise who have already died but are still alive in the world with the blessing of the god of death.

Gray subconsciously raised her head and cast her hopeful gaze towards the white-haired old man in front of her.

If it is the legendary leader of Sissel.

Perhaps there is a way to rescue Sister Shadow Servant...

As soon as this thought arose.

next moment.

Gray saw that Cecil seemed to see through her thoughts and shook his head silently.

"I'm late."

“Life is the most difficult thing to recover.”

"Perhaps with the special nature of your long-stage Destiny sequence, after reaching Legendary status, you might one day be able to achieve the feat of reversing time..."

"But no one can resurrect the dead at this moment, not even I, the Legend."

how come?

Deep in Gray's heart, she could clearly hear the sound of something breaking.

It was as if a layer of false bubble was punctured, leaving only pure nothingness and blankness in my mind.

From reuniting with his brother Rast at the headquarters of the Watchtower, to joining the Shore Watchers team and heading to the Royal City of Paradise to carry out the mission.

For Gray, the past six months have been like a dream.

On my birthday, it would be nice to have hotpot with my brother Last.

He even went to Paradise and worked with his teammates to help his brother Last conquer the Queen of the Night, working together to come up with ideas for their date plan and even acting as a fortune teller.

Although there was also some anger when she saw her brother Rast interacting intimately with other women.

But overall, the atmosphere of this journey was quite cheerful and relaxing for Grey.

It's just like a story written in a fairy tale book - leisurely, light, bright and beautiful.

Gray has always been immersed in this fairy-tale atmosphere.

So much so that, even though she knew from the beginning that the ultimate goal of the "Lost Paradise" plan was to overthrow the entire underworld.

However, as a bystander, she witnessed every detail of Brother Luster and Queen Helen's interactions, feeling the tranquil beauty... Gray always felt that they would eventually be able to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

Perhaps this kingdom of the underworld, a paradise where countless dead live and work in peace and contentment, does not necessarily have to be destroyed.

Perhaps the relationship between the Shore Watchers and the Queen of the Underworld isn't necessarily so irreconcilable...

There must be a way... to allow the dead, whether human or in paradise, whether it is Brother Luster, Queen Helen or myself, to finally have a happy and perfect ending.

But, at this moment——

Looking at the palace that carried countless memories of Queen Helen, but has weathered and decayed into dust.

And the shadow servant sister who sacrificed herself to save me, but I could only watch helplessly...

In Grey's heart, the fairy-tale filter was shattered.

It transformed into countless sharp fragments and blades, piercing straight into the depths of her soul, bringing pain that pierced through her flesh and blood.

Reality is not a fairy tale.

Not every story will have a romantic and beautiful happy ending like a fairy tale.

It was a war from beginning to end.

The war between humans and alien races, the war between the living and the dead, order and chaos, the continuation and destruction of civilization history, and the war between shore keepers and grave keepers.

The moment he put on the silver winged emblem that read "Guarding the Coastline" and swore to become a Coast Guardian, he had already stepped onto the battlefield.

Anyone who steps onto the battlefield should be prepared for a life-and-death struggle. There has never been a romantic and beautiful war in this world... The main theme of war is death and blood. Everyone who steps onto the battlefield is killing the enemy by any means necessary.

They roared and raged, swinging their bloody blades at each other, fighting to the death.

The fairy-tale dream was shattered.

Only the cold reality and cruel truth remained, washing over Gray's mind over and over again.

But even so——

However, there was still one last bit of faith in Gray's heart that supported her and prevented her from getting lost in the shock of her shattered dream.

Brother Rast...

That's right.

Brother Rast is still in danger.

The legendary gravekeeper who killed Shadow Servant Sister's real body... gave up hunting me because of the intimidation of Leader Cessel, and now he is likely to go to Brother Rast!

With a little panic, Gray raised her head hurriedly and spoke quickly but with some hope.

"Leader Cecil, although it may be a bit presumptuous, could you go and rescue Brother Rust?"

"He's facing the Queen of the Underworld right now, and the legendary gravekeeper is probably going to look for him too!"

I have lost a lot of things, I must not lose my brother Rast again!

However, facing the gray-haired girl's earnest gaze.

Cecil's eyes, however, became a little more indifferent.

"Unfortunately, he doesn't need my rescue right now, nor is he qualified to be rescued by me."

"Last has betrayed the shore keepers."

It was like thunder exploding in my ears, and all thoughts stopped at this moment.

Brother Rast... betrayed the shore watchers?

No, that's impossible!

It's impossible!

Even though these were the words spoken by the legendary Cecil, the leader of the Shore Guardians.

Reason told Grey that what Cecil said was most likely the truth, but Grey still refused to believe it.

If brother Rast betrayed him, then what would become of the young man who saved him from the desperate situation in Frozen Water Town... and all the goals he had been fighting for and everything he had been pursuing over the years?

However, Cecil's cold words rang in Gray's ears again.

"Last, the information he passed back from the beginning was false."

"That relic of the God of Death was never in the palace of the royal city... but rather, it was within the body of the Queen of the Underworld."

"Last must have noticed this and, driven by greed, planned this betrayal—"

"For the relic of the God of Death, the remains of a god that can allow a person to ascend to heaven in one step."

"I even suspect he may have had contact with the gravekeeper... This is my misjudgment of people. If it weren't for him, Shadow Servant wouldn't have died in battle."

"From now on, Luster will be on the shore watcher's most wanted list—"

"As long as the Shore Watchers exist, the bounty for their lives will continue, and the pursuit will not stop until they are dead."

……

No, there must be something wrong!

Even the leader of Sissel may have been blinded by the treacherous people.

Or maybe Brother Rast had some leverage over someone and was threatened.

Or they may be hypnotized, bewitched... their minds are controlled, their souls are polluted and corrupted, and they only do these things when they have no choice and are unable to control themselves.

If that's the case—

So now Brother Rast is in an extremely dangerous situation.

With such thoughts in mind.

He completely ignored the sudden warning signs of fate and the premonition of death and extinction that rose in the depths of his soul.

Gray suddenly stood up and ran towards the mountain path behind her.

She had been taken out of the royal city by the shadow servant and arrived at the outskirts of the city.

Therefore, this place is not too far from the peak where Rast had a date with Queen Helen.

Gray didn't believe anyone else's story, even if it was from the leader of the Shore Watch, Cecil Legend.

She wanted to go find Brother Last herself and ask him in person what was going on.

Then, clear his name and prove his innocence!

……

The petite figure of the gray-haired girl, shrouded in a hooded cloak, gradually moved away and soon disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

But Cecil did not stop him.

He just stared silently with his silver-gray eyes at the gray-haired girl who ran towards the top of the mountain regardless of the muddy mountain road.

Beside Cecil, the dark shadow also quietly faded away.

The body that was originally shrouded in shadow and could not be seen clearly was revealed.

It was different from the old body of the shadow servant that Rast had seen before, which was shriveled and covered with wounds.

After the shadow faded, what appeared was a slim and mature woman.

Her long brown hair with a few waves falls softly behind her shoulders. Her facial features are graceful, but her face has a soft curve.

Unlike the ugly and ferocious appearance that Last had seen before, Shadow Servant now looked like an absolute beauty.

However, the shadow servant's figure had a certain illusion and vagueness, as if it might disappear at any time.

This is a matter of course.
