Skretil's Ignorance Walker

When Mary opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a strange place.

There were strange tones of dark purple and gray everywhere, and there was not a single plant near her, as if the whole world was lifeless.

"Where is this place? Am I dead?"

Mary was very confused. When she wanted to reach out her hands to do something, she found that her hands were actually translucent.

So Mary checked other parts of her body, and without exception, they were all translucent. Only then did Mary notice that everything around her seemed translucent.

"Could it be...that this is the Nether Soul Realm?"

After being briefly surprised, Mary thought of the record she had seen in an ancient book before.

It is said that after the death of mortal beings, their souls will be competed by heaven and hell. Some souls with strong obsessions may temporarily stay in the mortal world, but in the end most souls will end up in heaven or hell.

However, there are a very small number of souls who reject hell, are not tolerated by heaven, and cannot even wander around in the world. So these souls will come to a top-secret place, where there is no fight between angels and demons, and those abandoned souls can continue to survive here.

And this place is called the Netherworld Soul Realm.

Thinking of this, Mary laughed to herself. That's right, for people like me who have abandoned heaven and don't want to fall into hell, this is the only destination for them.

Thinking back to the days when she had all the power in the world, Mary felt a sense of loneliness and emptiness. It was clear that his great revenge had been avenged at that time, but why was there no sense of relief?

"Perhaps this is the punishment I should receive."

Mary said to herself that if her beloved Karen hadn't freed her at the last moment, she would have been the devil's plaything by now.

Even at the cost of having her soul torn apart, Mary was able to escape the fate of being enslaved by the devil. Maybe when she was blinded by hatred, she was already targeted by the devil, right?

"Ok?"

But thinking of this, Mary had new questions. That is, since her soul has been torn apart, and even part of it is still with the devil, why can she stand here intact now? At least it looked intact.

Mary looked at her body again, but she didn't see anything abnormal, and she even felt like it was being filled. And just when Mary wanted to check it carefully, a strange and boring voice came from behind her.

"Ah, let's see, lovely new soul, I think you must be delicious."

Hearing this, Mary immediately turned around, only to find a translucent giant harpy standing on the stone pillar behind her.

"you are?"

"Hehe, you don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that you will become a part of me soon."

After saying that, the harpy spread its wings and quickly swooped in the direction of Mary.

"Humph, then it depends on whether you have the ability."

Mary, on the other hand, did not panic at all. When the opponent was about to touch her, Mary jumped up, avoided the impact of the harpy, and released several magic missiles in the air, making the enemy still charging. The harpy has nowhere to hide.

"Ouch-ouch—!"

After feeling the pain, the harpy quickly distanced herself from Mary, and then stood on another boulder, looking at Mary with fear.

"Forget it, I know that those who can come here are not small characters. I will spare your life today..."

But before it could finish speaking, Mary had already used magic to come to it. Before it could react, a blue magical flame began to burn the harpy's body.

"Ahhh! You guy! Quick, stop! Otherwise, my king will not let you go!! Ahhh!"

That was a flame that directly burned the soul. Fortunately, the arrogant harpy couldn't stand it anymore. It fell to the ground and started rolling, but it still couldn't extinguish the magic flame. She could only put down the cruel words and let Mary cancel the magic. .

"Hmph, weren't you very arrogant just now? Are you scared now?"

Seeing the harpy in pain, Mary felt a sense of pleasure for some reason. Could it be that the influence of the devil has not been completely eliminated?

However, Mary was also a little surprised when she saw that her magic was so powerful. From just now, she felt that the magic power in her body was very full, and she could even release this soul-burning magic at will. But the people here are all spirits, so it shouldn’t be difficult.

"Is it the special nature of this place that makes me like this?"

Mary looked at her translucent hands and murmured. She felt that she was much stronger now than before. With this magical ability alone, Mary felt that she could compete with those high-level mages. .

"Tmd, labor and management are at odds with you!"

Unable to endure the pain any longer, the harpy suddenly became angry and decided to pull someone on its back before she disappeared. So regardless of her own injuries, she stood up and pounced on Mary.

At such a close distance and before Mary could fully react, it seemed like it was about to succeed.

However, just as the harpy showed a twisted smile, a radiance of magic suddenly emanated from Mary, and then a translucent sword was inserted into the harpy's body, causing its last struggle to fail.

As the harpy's body slowly disappeared, Mary also recovered from her surprise. When she saw clearly the existence standing in front of her, an expression of extreme surprise appeared on her face.

"Kay...Karen?! Is it really you?"

Seeing the familiar back in front of her, even though it was translucent now, Mary still couldn't admit it. She asked in disbelief, and in exchange, she got that familiar voice and a positive answer.

"Well, it's me, Mary."

As soon as he finished speaking, Karen turned around. The two of them looked at each other in surprise for a long time, and finally hugged each other tightly.

"Oh my God, it's really you. That's great. I thought I was going to be alone here forever."

Mary was so surprised that she couldn't help but burst into tears. The thought of being able to be with her true love forever filled her heart with expectations for the future.

"Well, it seems that in the end, both of our souls were incomplete, so we were blended together."

After calming down, Karen told Mary the current situation. After hearing this, Mary nodded.

"I see. No wonder I feel like my body is filled. It's you."

"Not quite."

However, Karen shook her head and asked Mary to feel it.

"Ok?"

After hearing Karen's words, Mary began to seriously feel the power in her body, but soon, she discovered something was wrong.

"This is……"

In Mary's doubts, a powerful light began to burst out from her body, and after a while, many familiar faces appeared in the open space in front of Mary.

"No, it's impossible...how could this happen..."

Mary took two steps back in surprise. There were thousands of souls in front of her, standing neatly in a square formation, waiting for Mary's order.

Mary remembered all these people one by one, because these were the people she relied on and trusted the most during her lifetime. In front of the phalanx, a girl who was extremely familiar to Mary stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, please give the order."

"Miral... how could you..."

Looking at the members of the Queen's Guards who were destroyed by her own hands, Mary never imagined that they would follow her here and be willing to obey her orders.

"Their souls were absorbed by you, so they came here together. And it seems that they are still willing to continue to follow you."

Karen said from the side, and then she nudged Mary from behind so that she could communicate with the other party.

"I've done this to you, why are you still willing to follow me?"

Mary remembered everything she did when she was possessed by the devil, so she timidly asked Miral. She was even ready to accept retribution, but the latter smiled back.

"Because we always believe that Your Majesty will not harm us. Those are all caused by demons. And our lives are given by Your Majesty, so we should continue to be loyal to Your Majesty."

As Miral finished speaking, thousands of Lily Knights behind her also shouted in unison: "Long live your Majesty! I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty!"

"Everyone……"

Looking at the unwavering eyes of everyone, Mary wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She put on a confident smile, turned around, drew out a sword, and pointed at the mountain in the distance.

"Then everyone, please accompany me to have fun again, and let us build our new home on this land!"

"It's all at your Majesty's command!"
