Chapter 1282: Everyone Gathered
Shaya Longnis, who had split into four, stared straight at Lilibet who had been chasing her.
Although they were both Sky Swords, Shaya Longnis, who hadn't officially become the Guardian of the Sky Tower for as long as Lilibet, was slightly weaker. However, she still had some ability to fight back.
The reason she had fallen to the point of having to escape was because she had used her the Sky Sword for something else - preparing the body for her only daughter, White Moon.
The puppet makers in Doll City were boasting about their skills, but when it came to actually doing something, they were all useless.
They wasted countless Moonlight branches and precious materials, and couldn't even complete one hand of White Moon. This made Shaya Longnis so angry that she almost wanted to go on a killing spree in Doll City.
In the incredible world where White Moon was created, the prince who made her body was much better than those puppet makers.
Unfortunately, even Shaya Longnis couldn't find any trace of that mysterious world. It felt like a beautiful but unreal dream, and White Moon was the precious treasure born from that dream.
With no other choice, Shaya Longnis, as a mother, risked her own Sky Sword and housed White Moon inside it to maintain her existence. At the same time, Shaya Longnis personally traversed Endless God's Domain to find the materials needed to create White Moon's body.
According to some sources, she targeted Lilibet and successfully obtained a part of their hair and some rare materials from the Sky Tower treasury while they were off guard.
The result? She has been hunted by Lilibet for over a month now and has been killed over forty times.
This is because she is a Child of God from the Slime Tribe and has the natural talent of regeneration, allowing her to come back to life even after dying so many times.
In the legend-rankeding of Endless God's Domain, Shaya Longnis, who has the protection of the Slime Tribe, may not be the strongest, but she is definitely the hardest to kill.
Most gods are limited to certain regions called God's Domain. The gods who can gather faith from more than ten God's Domains are considered the highest-ranking gods.
The slime clan, who believes in Shaya Longnis and is willing to sacrifice their lives for her without any complaint, can be found all over the Endless God's Domain. There are even a lot of slime clans in the unknown Star Domain beyond the Endless God's Domain.
In theory, as long as there is one slime alive, Shaya Longnis can keep resurrecting.
Lilibet killed Shaya Longnis forty times, only consuming a small portion of Shaya Longnis's life points. This number will soon be replenished by the newly-born slimes who are striving to breed and grow.
The problem is, being killed continuously is a huge blow to Shaya Longnis's spirit.
Although her life points decrease only a little, the exhaustion and torment caused by consecutive deaths will not disappear, even for someone of the legend-ranked.
Even the high and mighty gods, when their physical bodies are killed, often take hundreds of years to resurrect.
The more times a god is killed, the longer the revival time becomes.
Many ancient gods who fell during the Twilight War of the Gods were almost sentenced to semi-permanent death due to the special mechanism of that war. They even had their divine concepts taken over by the new generation of gods, almost truly extinct.
So, at the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade, only the legendary "Red Heart Queen's Blood Wine," which has the power to revive, can make even the legend-ranked feel a flutter in their heart.
"Hand it over...the things you stole." As the Order Guardian of Sky Sword God's Domain, the gatekeeper of the Sky Tower, Lilibet rarely leaves the Sky Tower.
However, this time is an exception. Lilibet, who has always been guarding the Sky Tower, has been actively hunting Shaya Longnis for over a month, while the task of guarding the Sky Tower has been entrusted to a certain fantasy species from Kunlun God's Domain.
This also means that what Shaya Longnis stole from the Sky Tower and Lilibet is so important that Lilibet must continuously pursue her.
"No!"
"What I have obtained is mine."
"Even if you kill me a hundred times, I will never give it to you," Shaya Longnis firmly replied.
The things she stole from Lilibet are the materials needed to create a perfect puppet body for her beloved daughter, White Moon. For this, she is willing to commit a great sin and even provoke the ancient Guardian of the Sky Tower.
For the sake of White Moon, whom she loves recklessly, there is nothing she wouldn't do.
This is the great love that a mother has for her daughter, persistent and without regrets.
"So... kill you a thousand times," Lilibet raised Azure Excalibur in her hand again.
This ice blue great sword has the power of "divine punishment," even if the Sky Sword is struck, it will feel immense pain and the force of judgment.
Only the Sky Sword, a unique oddity born from the slime clan like Shaya Longnis, can be chopped by the divine punishment sword dozens of times and still bounce around.
The vitality of the slime clan is so unreasonable.
But Lilibet's obsession with hunting is equally unreasonable. No matter where Shaya Longnis escapes, she will always come after her to retrieve what Shaya Longnis stole.
"Ada! This is your territory, right?"
"Make her quiet!" Shaya Longnis's four split bodies came together again, returning to Yun Xi's familiar appearance.
Without the Sky Sword in her hand, she is no match for Lilibet, the Guardian of the Sky Tower. She can only summon the Red Heart Queen from the same faction to take action now.
Just as Shaya Longnis expected, the host of the ball appeared.
"The rule of the ball... is that direct fighting is not allowed," said Red Heart Queen, gracefully dancing in front of Lilibet.
"Ding!" came a crisp sword sound from Azure Excalibur's keyhole, indicating that Lilibet's opponent was trouble.
"When will this ball end?" Lilibet stared at Shaya Longnis, who was seated, and spoke without expression.
"It might end soon, or it might be delayed."
"Only women chosen by fate can participate in this ball."
"You coming here is also the favor of destiny," said Red Heart Queen, intoxicated gaze fixed on the cold Lilibet.
Regardless of race or background, Red Heart Queen's ball is only open to those who possess a Destiny Star.
People who were forcibly pulled into the ball.
You need to choose people to invite for the dance party.
People who come without being invited.
For this dance party, these guests have been chosen to perform at the party.
The great Will of Nightmares is watching this place.
