Chapter 335: Reunion

After using his grand formation to ensure the escape for the perfect hungry demons, meaning the top 200 players from a different world, Roy and Erik respawned in their realm, a castle that belonged to the man who liked wine.

Roy's eyes sprang free, shining like red moons. He near instantly squinted those jewels, biting his lips as an immense pain flared from his chest.

"Ugh… What is… this pain?" Roy muttered in agony, lifting his upper body. When he noticed himself in the mirror, a shock and tremor went through him, for he had a black scar on his pale chest.

That black scar wasn't deep, yet it hurt. The pain didn't drive Roy mad, but the consistent agony would eventually turn him into a mindless demon.

He looked behind at his friend, who also had the same scar. But as Erik was severely hurt mentally and physically, he was still in a slumber. His face contorted in pain, and he perspired profusely.

Roy clenched his teeth, "Blackburn Blade… And now Alexander Deathwill… Why do we have to face monsters?! Why can't we just go to Paradise?!"

Tears flooded Roy's eyes, for he knew the road awaiting them was getting more arduous with each second.

He could only pray that situation on other continents was more in their favor.

"Fuck…"

Alex floated with his black wings fluttering gently, gazing at the spot where Erik and Roy had been before.

They successfully escaped, but Alex believed that he had left significant damage to their souls. They also should become warier about him and his continent.

He looked behind, no longer feeling and seeing the beautiful red-haired woman. But as he became aware of his origins and power, Alex surely would visit Ivonne in his soul soon enough.

He turned around, glancing at the three zombies. With so many changes, he used his abilities instinctively. Upon returning home, Alex would read all system messages to assess his power and situation properly.

For now, he was happy that his power increased and that even his creations benefited from it.

"Three beautiful women… I will get into trouble," Alex chuckled, staring at the zombie ladies that were his servants. Their skin was white as snow, their curves seemingly bountiful in softness.

Those red eyes and hair were also alluring. They stood respectfully at the helm of the skeleton army, reciprocating their master's stare with reverence.

"Return home. Don't leave your base and wait for me," Alex said, knowing that the appearance of three new women would confuse Celia.

The three zombies and black skeletons heeded their master's command, disappearing as if they had never been here before.

Alex looked down, sensing that the hungry demons all had given up on fighting against demi-humans. The kings who had betrayed the demi-human kingdoms and their people had also been caught by Anais Foxtail and others.

Thus, Alex slowly descended, wanting to reunite with his beloveds.

He couldn't wait to see them and talk about his battle.

[Before Erik assailed Alex.]

On Earth, a white-haired lady silently spent her time in a coma. She induced concern in every doctor and nurse who had seen her, for she was like a goddess sleeping on the bed, missing the best moments of her life.

Stella's consciousness was also sleeping. But that changed when Alex used Husband's Command, calling her Ultimate Skill to his side.

A connection between The Avander World and Earth mysteriously appeared. The link on Earth was above Stella. That connection took Stella's Ultimate Skill, warming her body before conveying it to Alex.

At the same time, Stella's consciousness awakened.

She didn't open her eyes. In fact, she also hadn't appeared in her soul. Instead, she was in a dark place shrouded in darkness.

In this room, Stella saw a face she would never mistake.

It was her mother!

Her name was Meiya.

She had long, dazzling silver hair. She had fluffy white wings behind her, keeping her high in the dark room. She floated without touching anything around her, giving off an impression of the unapproachable goddess.

Meiya's appearance had a soft and mature charm, which would mellow people around her. Her little head, cherry lips, golden eyes, and compelling curves would melt the hearts of every male.

But that was only when her consciousness was in a slumber! Stella knew it very well.

"Mom," Stella called her mother, drawing her attention. Those shut eyes twitched before revealing the golden hues of the winged people.

Meiya whispered in a daze, gazing at her daughter, who shouldn't be here, "Stella?"

Her voice was weak and incredulous, for she hadn't thought she would see her daughter here. And the event in the real world caused her to be in a worse position than ever before, which mellowed Meiya herself.

She was like a woman that had accepted her death, so Stella couldn't even recognize her mother or see a hint of her former self.

"Father's scheme has hurt you too much," Stella whispered slowly, extending her hands to embrace her mother.

Meiya's wings flapped unconsciously, and before she noticed, she was in her daughter's embrace, tightly hugging her, "Stella… My girl… I am happy that I can at least meet you before my demise.

I don't want to talk about myself and the situation I am in… I just want to know whether my girl is living a good life. Have you found someone? How are your sisters? Are you not alone, Stella?" Meiya asked, compelling Stella to answer all questions with immense concern in her voice.

Stella immediately replied, "I have a husband. He came to Deathwill Castle because of my father's plan, but he's different than him. He genuinely worried about us from the start, wanting to become our friends.

I wanted someone to take care of me, so I was fine with him being my husband… But as time passed and we opened each other's hearts, I fell in love with him.

I really love him… Because of him, I keep changing… and I don't mind it. I also want to continue changing, becoming a better wife… and mother in the future."

Hearing so many words at once from Stella brought Meiya to tears, her little hands covering her face. She felt so relieved like never before, crying from the happiness as at least her daughter tasted genuine love.

She sounded so sweet while talking about her beloved, too.

Meiya's expression melted, and she looked like she would soon sob loudly. It was so unlike her that Stella felt awkward, looking down and changing the topic, "I love my sisters too… And I will have more of them since Alex keeps drawing attention. It's fun spending time and bickering with them.."

Stella lifted her eyes, staring at her mother awkwardly. She never thought she would see her like that, but as Stella had also been worried about her, it was nice that they could talk like that.

She could tell her mother didn't want to talk about her situation, believing nothing would solve her plight.

But Stella believed in herself and her family. Everyone wanted to reunite with their mothers and help them find joy in life again.

Of course, Deathwill Sisters didn't know whether their mothers were surely in a predicament. But as Stella saw her mother, she felt like the other two also were in a similar situation.

"What has happened?" Stella asked with a stern gaze, not allowing her mother to avoid the topic. It was such a rare expression that Meiya momentarily blinked, gawking at her daughter with a peculiar expression.

Her feelings slowly faded, replaced by pain and sadness, "Elias has tempered our souls to influence us with sins. I wield envy, and it took over me… I produced this sin too much that I lost myself, hurting people and destroying lands.

I took over a mountain to seclude myself… But that was a mistake… I am at a point where sin will soon devour my soul.

I'm sorry, Stella… I really want to see you and your husband together. I want to attend your wedding and see your little ones… I… I want to…" Meiya was in such a weak state that she ended up crying more, imagining what she would miss should she die soon.

But as Stella's body shone with bright golden light, the white-haired girl hugged her mother, her body oozing out warmth.

"I woke up because Alex needed me… And as my husband, he will help me save mom… His mother-in-law…" Stella whispered, ruffling her mother's hair.

And as her girl did so much to her, Meiya knew how much Stella had matured and changed. She relished every second of their reunion.

And before their time ended, Meiya conveyed her location in the Avander World and other stuff that Stella and her husband should know, "The hungry demons are trying to seize me too.

Elias fought against them but failed. They are in a stalemate. They can't progress with each other aiming at their necks. I see two scenarios that await me.

Either hungry demons call more forces, or Elias somehow uses me and my sin to erase them, killing me in progress. For now, he wants to keep me alive. But I reckon he has enough means to use the current me," Meiya explained her worries to Stella.

The white-haired girl listened attentively.

And at last, she reassured her mother with a wide smile, "Everything will be ok."

"I believe in you, Stella… Mom has been missing you and couldn't wait to say those words again… I love you, my little girl. You have always been my treasure," Meiya smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"I love you too, mom," Stella replied with a faint smile.

Their reunion ended.
