The Skeleton Male is perhaps the most undead aversion in the world.

The golden mask he always wears is a testament to his time as the "Eternal Prince".

But his heavy white gold boots, white metal gloves, and the heavy armor he had put back on when he entered the Duchy of Mourning were all traces of his old days as a paladin.

Yes.

He was once a paladin - fighting to annihilate all the undead in this world, fighting with all his strength and fighting all his life. It is precisely because of this that no one has ever doubted that the Eternal Life Gong is actually an undead.

That's why.

The Eternal Princesses will mourn for themselves.

Grand Duke Midas hated the undead so much that he had transformed himself into a dry skeleton...... His only purpose was to hope that this painful curse that had been passed down with his bloodline would reach his own generation.

Don't pass the curse on anymore.

And that's exactly what he did.

Until...... The Great Barrier shattered, the gray mist invaded, and the giant gladly died.

To the people of other countries, it was such a legendary deed – an epic act of generosity and heroism that was celebrated.

But only the Eternal Father is suffering and mourning for this.

Because he perceived...... Everything that the entire Immortal Family has given is meaningless. The giants don't care about their own life or death, nor do they care about the inheritance of their families and the continuation of their country.

From the very beginning, [Eternal Father] was just wishful thinking.

On the contrary, he should also thank the giants for being willing to give this face and play this tacit game with their family......

If he's just an eternal, that's fine—it means they're finally free. He was finally able to get a peaceful night's sleep.

…… However, Midas has transformed himself into an undead.

He can't die yet.

So far, it has been a curse that has been barely eradicated by sacrificing everything and transforming itself into the most hated undead...... It's actually a joke that no one cares about. After the death of the giants of the Principality of Eternal Living, the existence of the "Principality of Eternal Death" has become even more meaningless.

- Funny tombstones.

"To bury is to forget, and to forget is to betray; The tombstone is the memory of 'death'.

"His purpose is also very simple."

Annan said leisurely: "Abandon the truth of [bones] and regain flesh and blood...... In other words, he wants to erase his old self as a 'tombstone'. This is a plan that takes precedence over obtaining a complete betrayal of the truth. ”

He could probably guess it.

This plan shouldn't have been like this in the first place......

If Annan had chosen to end the nightmare in the gallery in the most "correct" way - that is, to hit Angelo's body with the dirty blood bullet bound by the [Don't Travel Far] spell, then "Angelo" as a betrayal angel would have been fixed in Frozen Water Harbor.

This means that, as Angelo's pope, he also joined this carnival of "betraying Angelo...... Then the definition of "betrayed by all" is refined. Coupled with the half of the Skeleton Male, the true God of Betrayal can be born in a "nightmare" where no one can interfere.

In this way, the skeleton only needs to descend directly into Angelo's body...... He can simply replace the truth of his "bones" with the truth of his "betrayal" in its entirety.

So at that time, "Angelo", as a baby girl, would make the deep and old voice of the skeleton in her mouth.

If Annan really pulls the trigger - then this scene at this moment will be staged in advance in Frozen Water Port.

Then there really would be no one to stop him.

Because "Angelo" at that time had not even been born in the world, he naturally would not resist the skeleton like the "Angelo" who thought he was Elle now.

All this in front of me was just a supplement to the ritual at that time.

The Skeleton Master is a peerless ceremonist.

He naturally knew that the bones he had left under the Principality of Mourning Song were a great hidden danger...... Since we want to make up for the unfinished rituals, we simply eliminate all the hidden dangers.

"Think again, Elle...... Why did Delicious Wind Goose know that the child was the Skeleton Boy at that time? ”

Annan said calmly: "It was the beginning of the third week. He knew that the kid was the Bone Guild, but he didn't know what the Bone Guild did...... What does this mean? ”

[This means...... He didn't realize this until the end of the last reincarnation? 】

Elle thought for a long time before responding in Annan's heart.

"Correct. If you go into more detail...... He may have seen Skeleton Gong during the day in the first week, but it was only in the second week that the existence and purpose of the Skeleton Male were confirmed - so in the third week, he was able to catch him first, but he didn't know what he would do. ”

"Elle" muttered under her mouth as she left the basement halfway through the ceremony.

She walked slowly outside and glanced up at the moonless night.

There was not a single person on the street.

And she went to Elle's house alone.

"Then the answer is self-evident - it is not until the end that the boy who is the 'Skeleton Male' will appear. And when he appeared, there was enough evidence to prove that he was the skeleton male...... But before he could do anything, the world was reset.

"As you can guess now, Midas appeared in front of the last surviving Delicious Wind Goose...... What the hell did you do? ”

[He...... Kill him]

"That's right."

"Elle" nodded.

As she traveled along the road, time passed at an unusual speed...... This is the role of rituals.

After Annan explained this to Elle, he suddenly realized that he had arrived outside the city in a trance...... The night also got darker.

It's about ten o'clock now.

- Even if no one died, the night was getting darker.

That's how the sky gradually reverts to "night".

And Annan just looked up at the sky, and then continued to whisper:

"What kind of person is it that makes us think that this world is just a fragment, and only the power of the mother-in-law exists? If you think about it, you'll see ...... All of these words were spoken by 'Midas'.

He said that there is no such thing as 'outside the city' in this world, and he said that everyone in the city has never left the outside of the city...... But Longjing Tea's colleague has a Denisoya accent; The teacher in Celicia spoke the Winter dialect; And Amos says your mother is on a world tour, and he's going on a business trip. How is it possible that there is no concept of 'out of town'?

"So, why did we believe Midas at the time?"

[Because he ...... In the face of the beating of the delicious wind goose, there was no resistance at all...... Oh yes, he also told us his name directly! 】

Elle replied immediately.

[So Uncle Delicious Wind Goose said that Midas should be part of this nightmare, yes...... It's ...... "non-player character". Well...... That's what he said......]

"So there's one thing you're missing."

"Annan" said calmly: "He is also ...... The Purifier who entered the nightmare at the same time as us.

As he spoke, he stepped out and came into the forest.

It should be eleven o'clock in the evening.

"That's right—"

From the very beginning, the skeleton man was filling garlic.

Dove, who once killed others by mistake in the jungle, the delicious wind goose that failed when she was most proud, and the stray child who was afraid of marriage to the extreme...... And all that they longed for, embodied in this nightmare.

It's a nightmare woven from the memories of all those who enter.

That's why there are so many obviously unreasonable stitching monster technologies in it, and the terrain has become so bizarre. And Elle, as the controller of the nightmare half, almost completely affects the composition of the entire nightmare...... As the controller of the other half, the Skeleton Duke has turned this place into an "immortal city".

So......

"How could he lose his memories as a skeleton man?"

Annan sneered in a low voice: "This crumb of bones...... It's just so unseemly. Even if you are beaten by mortals, you pretend to have no memory and no consciousness at all—is it okay to be cheeky in order to deceive others? ”

Screen flow.

Before "Elle" could finish speaking, she had already arrived in the wheat field.

At this moment, it should be close to twelve o'clock.

"—that's right."

From the other end of the wheat field, the white-haired boy replied across time.

This proves that the time he went through was ...... It should be synchronized with Annan's side.

With his hands in his pockets, he stepped on the wheat and walked across the wheat fields.

There was no emotion in his slightly narrowed pupils.

"Sacrificing dignity for the sake of achieving a goal – I think this is the most cost-effective 'sacrifice'."

Eternal Father, replied earnestly.
