Moko died peacefully, with a slight smile on his face. He didn't look dead, but rather as if he was having a happy dream.

At that moment, the blood-red crystal pendant in Yi Yi's chest, which took the form of demonic wings, shook vigorously. The crystal pendant spoke in a mysterious voice: "Yi Yi, you're not falling for this human, are you?"

Yi Yi showed no discomfort towards the sudden voice, her expression as emotionless as ever. "Fetishina, is there any hope to save Moko?"

"You want to save this human?"

"Moko is unwilling to..."

"I understand. Humans are always like this. One moment, they are unsatisfied with their own weak power; another moment, they are unsatisfied when someone else's spouse is more beautiful than their own; yet another moment, they are envious of others' wealth... In short, humans are even more greedy than the Ma'Men clan..."

"Moko wants to live on."

"I know, humans always want to survive no matter what. Yet, they would sacrifice themselves to protect others, even if the person being protected is a stranger. In their hearts, they might feel that death is inevitable, but their bodies still struggle futilely under the domination of the will to survive, even though they know the result is in vain."

"If Moko hides, he won't die..."

"Then the goblins will promptly arrange his body into various poses..."

"Shut up!"

Fetishina chuckled disdainfully. "Haha, well, this ending is not bad, even though the human dies."

Yi Yi argued seriously, "He is not human."

"Oh? Not human? Then what is he? A dog?"

"He is called Moko, the person who saved me."

"Okay, okay."

"He is the first person to help me without expecting anything in return, the first person to die for me without reservation."

"In a sense, that is indeed without reservation." Fetishina mocked, "But why does he give me a feeling of desperately seeking death?"

"It's because he died for me!"

Faced with Yi Yi's stubbornness, Fetishina sighed helplessly, "Alright, my princess, everything you say is right."

"Yi Yi wants to save him."

"... " Fetishina paused for a few seconds, seeming hesitant about something. "You don't need to... you don't have much magic power right now... it's not easy for me to recover..."

Ignoring Fetishina's complaints, Yi Yi leaned closer, and her rosy lips almost touched Moko's nose. With her mouth slightly open, she breathed softly, and a colorless and translucent mist slowly entered Yi Yi's lips from Moko's nostrils, like two long snakes.

When all the mist had entered Yi Yi's mouth and condensed into a small sphere, she spat it out and held it in her hand. The sphere was slightly larger than a lychee, and inside the sphere, one could vaguely see a small face of Moko, peacefully sleeping with his eyes closed.

The center of the sphere was solid, while the outer part slowly dissipated with faint translucent light spots. This was because the soul, without the protection of the body, was dispersing. The souls of ordinary people were too fragile, and without the protection of the body, they would gradually disappear, which is why it is rare to encounter ghosts in the world.

If a person dies with hatred in their hearts, there is a high chance that they will turn into a vengeful spirit, as hatred can condense the soul and absorb the resentment in the world to strengthen itself. Moko had no strong attachment before he died, so he couldn't condense his soul on his own. If he was left alone, his soul would naturally fade away over time.

"With the witness of heaven and earth, I, Yi Yi Anjier Lucifer, successor of the arrogant demon king, solemnly swear that this person is my betrothed...""Hello... I don't want to enter a man's soul... I will be able to gather my body again in 500 years... Please... spare me..."

"Protect him well, and I will help you revive at the right time." Holding the crystal pendant, Yiyi forcefully took it off without waiting for Photina's consent, and the crystal slowly approached Moko's soul.

"Okay, since you've said so, I'll help you once. With the power of the Chaos Crystal, reincarnation is just a small matter... It's just... I will probably have to sleep for a while again." Seeing that she couldn't stop Yiyi's determination, Photina could only resign herself: "But I can't guarantee that I can definitely let him survive, after all, it's in that place..."

Glancing lightly at the Chaos Crystal, Yiyi calmly said, "If it can't be done, let's die together."

"Fine, fine, I'm such an unfortunate soul... I hope this young man has better luck and can at least hold on until I wake up..."

"It's Moko."

"Yes, yes, Moko." Moko's soul finally touched the Chaos Crystal, and the Chaos Crystal penetrated into Moko's soul like liquid. After a while, Moko's soul emitted a faint red color, which was not obvious at first but eventually turned into a blood-like red.

At some unknown point, all the blood on the battlefield automatically mixed together, the blood moved on its own, as if an invisible pen was drawing, and in a short time, a strange and complex blood-colored magic array was depicted on the ground.

Yiyi stood in the center of the magic array and pressed her soul onto it.

The magic array immediately cracked open, and flames exclusive to purgatory rose from the cracks. At the moment Moko's body touched the flames, it turned into ashes.

Moko's soul, protected by the Chaos Crystal, entered the crack...

Jezek Village.

Roska is used to waking up early for exercise, but strangely enough, Moko, who usually wakes up the earliest, is not wielding his sword in the yard.

Perhaps he's tired, Roska thought to himself. He chose to practice Fighting Spirit until Nicole informed him that breakfast was ready. When he sat down for breakfast, he didn't see anyone, as if Moko was not at home.

"Xiao Ke, sister is awake for breakfast." Nicole knocked on Moko's door and entered without waiting for a response... but there was no one inside.

With a strange look on her face, Nicole's heart suddenly started pounding, as if something was wrong. She quickly noticed a letter on Moko's desk... She hurriedly handed the letter to Roska, and they read it together. The letter didn't explain why Moko left, it simply mentioned wanting to go out for a walk.

Their son was missing!

Roska instructed Nicole to search the village like a madman, and he ran out of the house in a frenzy. Soon, he found traces of Moko's departure, as he was after all an excellent hunter and skilled at tracking. Following the traces left by Moko, searching and stopping, it took him half a day to finally arrive at the battlefield of goblins and demons.

Other than the bodies and the heavy stench of blood, there was nothing else in the battlefield. Roska frantically searched every corpse, carefully examined each one with a nervous mood, but gained nothing except for a short sword and a small round shield with names engraved on them.

As for the huge magic array, Roska only knew it was related to the demons, but nothing else. He returned home with the possibly relic-like sword and shield, greeted by an equally anxious Nicole and a comforting Salas by their daughter's side.

In that moment, Roska seemed to understand something...
