Xaya was laying on her back, looking at the dead Kyoya with wide eyes, frozen. The lady couldn't comprehend what is going on, but the familiar aura had told her everything. Her hands reached for Kyoya's body, but then, he disappeared.
His disappearance was similar to the EXP conversion.
The body of his turned into a thousand particles, then the husband was gone for real.
"Kyoya!"
The tears trickled down, and unimaginable pain spread through Xaya's chest. This pain was far stronger than the one she had felt in the past... This was the real emotion, real love! The love that was also thoroughly and warmly reciprocated.
Of course, to a certain extent. There were also some cold slaps!
But it was still affection nonetheless. Xaya's heart beat loudly, then without Kyoya in front of her, she turned into her 'true form' that was of that wolf. The tremendous wolf's howl spread across the whole third floor causing every living being to fall unconscious.
Except for the death god behind her.
Muddled by her feelings, Xaya had forgotten everything and just wanted to get rid of the death god who was calmly looking at her with all the eyes on his mask turned toward her. It was naturally cover for his real body, but it still represented his divine strength and lofty attitude flawlessly.
ROAR!
"Naive and stupid as always. How dare you raise a voice at me, your master?"
The Sixth Death God's voice finally rang out.
It was not an old voice nor too young. His hand clad in black glove went up, then the powerful might of Xaya got suppressed from that gesture alone. The lady's true form was even bigger than the cover of the death god.
She towered above him, her head close to the 'main mask'. Though the suppression was already spreading across her body, Xaya's eyes and mouth were still fiercely pointed at the god.
The husband surely would be shocked to see such a huge true form, so Xaya had never thought of appearing in front of him as such. And now, except her eyes, no one could even think of Xaya as the lady which was another reason for her to not go for the true form.
"Speak."
"Let me go!"
"I asked you a question."
Xaya didn't wish to answer his stupid question. Of course, she would raise her anger at him after her loved one died from his hand. It was so obvious that Xaya's anger deepened, but the sixth death god just glanced to the side.
He did it briefly, so Xaya couldn't feel it.
"Do you understand how much face I have lost in the heavenly realms because of you?"
"..."
"I allowed you to go to the heavenly palace which is the place of descendants, future gods, and all other people related to the gods."
"..."
"But not only you run away from this place, but you also haven't come back home and caused some ruckus here."
The Sixth Death God's pressure heightened. The big wolf hit the ground, then her head was now lower than all the masks on his cover... Those eyes turned down to look at her after his speech yet Xaya didn't' even feel a little regret.
It's not like she hates her master, but being confined in his palace is not something she looks forward to. Her life was more enjoyable with other people around. The heavenly palace was such a place at first where all people related to the gods were growing to become the worthy heirs.
It was different for disciples, but they also could grow strong enough to become one of the successors.
Such a place was only enjoyable in the beginning, then Xaya got hurt by the man she had taken a liking to.
"If you expect someone to give you attention every day, each hour, each minute, then just give up on that pitiful dream of yours and succumb to your duties."
"Kyoya loves me!"
"Of course he loves you. Between the pig and fairy, who do you think he would choose? You should know how familiar I am with humans."
"It's not only about the appearance!"
"How ignorant can you get?"
The Death God no longer spared a word as Xaya became mute. She wanted to use her true form to protect the bed, but the death god's force already changed her true form. From the big wolf, Xaya turned into a small pet that could only blink her eyes cutely.
The bed suddenly became so wide!
In the meantime, her master utilized some spells! Their bodies began getting pulled by the teleportation spell that is going to take them back home. Of course, Xaya couldn't leave this place without the bed!
She cut the teleportation spell, then hugged the bed. After some time, it slipped into her inventory! The death god rolled his eyes, then began the teleportation alone.
The duo disappeared moments later.
And this was the miracle that happened to Anoke! The goblin woke up a few days later, then found out that the sight of Kyoya, Xaya, and their house had nowhere to be seen! Elated by that, he ran away as far as he could!
Later on, he used his outstanding resilence from all the hp points, and became the leader of the goblin tribe on the third floor.
-
"To be in the heavenly palace is one thing, but to go to the world pillar and meet the believers... If you killed too much, then not only I, but other death gods would need to explain themselves."
"Kyoya mostly killed humans! This is your jurisdiction!"
"And that makes you think it's all fine?"
The Sixth Death God was no longer in his cover.
His appearance was that of a man in his early twenties with white hair and nonstop changing eyes. One blink and you would see his eyes cold blue! Yet in a mere second, his eyes could change to the golden ones!
He strode toward his room with Xaya following him behind, both carrying the impressive aura of death that matched their white skin. There were two emotions plastered on their faces yet both of them could keep their looks looking lofty and imposing.
"Humanity is your jurisdiction, so Kyoya can be easily revived by you! Do it!"
"He can be revived as he has no believers nor is believer himself."
The white-haired god briefly spoke yet Xaya's relieved face instantly turned into all smiles! She happily tapped the cold tiles of the death castle passing her master. In the meantime, Sixth Death God summoned the summary of Kyoya's life.
He had it neatly described in the paper. After he read a little of that summary, his cold voice suddenly echoed within Xaya's mind.
"Ignorant brat. Do you think you will be able to leave the death castle without any work? You and that husband of yours will be working here until the gossips of your ruckus die out."
"Okay~~!"
"Separated."
"..."
Xaya froze and so it was the time of her master to pass next to her. She wanted to scream at him, her eyes already dilated with anger. However, this already had proven ineffective. That's why, the lady rushed forth, then barred the way of her master.
"Master!"
Then, Xaya clasped her hands, tilted her head, and looked cutely at her master while blinking her violet jewels.
"If you let me work with my husband, then you can extend our work period as much as you want!"
Xaya believed this is going to work on her master! He is going to give them a lovely time alone!
"I refuse."
"Why?!"
"The first thing you will do in the intervals is to fuck each other."
"Eh... N-not really."
"Both of you were close to doing the deed. Unlike you, his death was brief, instant, but I also spared his memories. The first thing he is going to see after waking up is the image of your naked body. As for you, you are already starting to think about him after his status got confirmed."
"..."
"Now, what is going to happen after you reunite? I also have to give you some punishment for your misdeed, so this is it. For two hundred years, you are going to be separated."
"No! No! No!"
The Sixth Death god could only ignore his disciple. There were still a few things he has to ask his disciple about, thus, Xaya got forced to follow him... It was rather the bother as the lady nonstop begged her master to let her be with her husband!
Then, the wide room finally spread in front of the death god.
He took his favorite seat, then the questioning began.
"You stole the summoning ritual from the heavenly palace, correct?"
"..."
"Answer."
"Yes."
When Xaya got asked about more details, the answers appeared to be lacking. She didn't really care about the method, but just about the usage. That's why, Death God only shook his head, and reached for her memories directly.
After his search, the death god found out about everything.
"This is the method invented by one of the trickster gods..."
"What does that mean?"
To this question, the death god shrugged. Xaya barely cared about the scroll and when utilized, the ownership couldn't be really seen, but only a little of the origins. The effects of that summoning method were always suppressed by Xaya, but now, Kyoya was alone!
"Summoning is always used to get familiars for either temporary or eternal help or to fulfill the wish of the summoner... But this is the divine method of trickster god and once you are gone..."
"Master!"
"I don't know. It is unusual for the weak human to possess two divine powers. It was sealed by you, but now, the trickster god powers should lead him instead of your wishes."
"Isn't this bad? How can I get rid of it? I must save my husband from the filth!"
"..."
