After about thirty seconds the Kishanu tree completely disappeared leaving behind only small sparks that will not take long to vanish as well, but also something else behind...
The body of Adolf who had received this technique squarely was smoking, the wounds not only external but also internal, but that was the least of the problems.
[A powerful foreign mana has infected your body, the regeneration decreases by 80% while it is still in your body]
[You have obtained the abnormal state of

[Your heart, the center of your vampiric powers has been severely damaged, you cannot use spells as long as your heart is not healed]
[The Chaos Bugs inside the body have been immobilized by an unknown external factor, the regenerative ability of the Chaos Bugs has been temporarily blocked]
Adolf with cloudy eyes read the messages, although his body could be totally collapsed, his mind was different, as incredible as it may seem, he managed to remain conscious after suffering such an attack, it must not be forgotten that although his body is pseudo-immortal, he can still feel all the pain
Adolf's consciousness flatly refused to fall unconscious as he desperately tried to move his body, he tried to circulate his mana but he noticed that he didn't respond, he tried to move his body but he didn't respond to the call either. of the.
Keiran was not far from him so naturally he felt Adolf's desperate act of trying to make his body work, but no one knew better than him that this was impossible, before the power of the Kishanu tree it was impossible for Adolf to even move again, since it might be considered a miracle that he was still alive, let alone conscious.
Thinking of ending this fight, Keiran approached him motionless Adolf while preparing his sword to finish him off, this was the maximum respect he could give him, this was the respect that one of the four knights in the conflict could give a warrior .
Adolf felt Keiran approaching and his efforts to move increased but still they gave no sign that they were even working, even though Adolf's body felt nothing the "warrior's senses" inside him were still working well, no, it would be fair to say that they never worked as well as at this very moment.
Could it be because death was hovering over him or was it something else...?
Getting from where Keiran was originally standing to where Adolf was at the pace that he was going first wouldn't take too long, it would take a maximum of 1-2 minutes but for Adolf that felt eternal, his mind worked at an unimaginable speed and tirelessly while I was trying to find a way out of this.
'I will not die... no matter what I went through I will live, I will not die, I cannot die because... because... what...?'
It was at this point that Adolf's mind that was desperately trying to find a way to survive came to an abrupt stop, his tireless desperate efforts all ceased at the same time because it was at this point that Adolf realized, he truly never had a reason why. what to live
When he came to this world he lived thanks to his primary instinct within him, as time went by the various activities and tasks that he completed he would not think about it, but now that he was facing the gates of death he realized that really what I had no reason to live.
'I don't have friends and I don't have any family that cares about me either... I don't have anything so... why am I still fighting so desperately...?'
It was at this moment that Adolf became aware of the presence in front of him, Keiran had finally arrived in front of him, with the two fully inactive regenerations of him it was certain that if he was decapitated at this moment he would definitely die.
Without further ado Keiran raised his sword to end Adolf's agony, the latter followed the tip of the sword but unable to move his head he could only vaguely look with his eyes as it rose.
But although Adolf no longer had the will to live and only expected his death, it seems that others thought differently... The nether represents death, death is indifferent to any living being, whether it is a mortal or a God, no one escapes the cold but somehow warm hands of death, if that's true then why, because the nether who is death incarnate was desperately trying to protect the dying Adolf.
When the sword finally descended on Adolf the nether of its own free will and desire moved trying to prevent the sword from ending Adolf's life, but it was a pity that it failed since when doing a the mist could only deflect the trajectory of the sword to a certain extent, the one that was originally supposed to decapitate him with a clean cut ended with a deep wound that ran all the way across his chest.
Being so close to death Adolf did not feel fear or sadness but calm, a deep calm that he had never felt throughout his life.
How ironic... a necromancer is the one who controls who lives and who dies, even after dying his "life" never comes to an end, truly ironic that someone like that is about to die without offering the slightest resistance.
The world slowed to Adolf as lifelong memories of him surged through his head, one after another in an endless loop like a movie playing endlessly.
'Really... a life of shit.'
Adolf thought as he watched how the sword cut his neck thus separating his head from the rest of his body, but even so, a pool of blood did not form, rather no wound on his body was bleeding, it was as if the blood from his body had finish...
With that Adolf's life had come to an end.
- - - - - - - - - -
Peace and tranquility.
That was what Adolf felt, it was like being submerged in an ocean, the "water" around him embraced his "body" with gentleness and great care, it was truly welcoming.
In this place he shouldn't worry about anything, he couldn't get angry and resent someone either since they really weren't worth it.
In the midst of the peace and tranquility he felt that someone was taking him in his arms, although he must have felt afraid, in reality he felt calmer, unconsciously he knew that nothing bad would happen to him.
"Truly, you have very bad luck, although you are loved by one of the primordial elements that not only did not bring you prosperity but was the opposite, all it brought you was pure misfortune, everyone hated you and ostracized you, all for being different from them."
His voice sounded soft to Adolf's "ears" but if someone else heard that voice they would only feel terrified, it was indescribable, the only thing he could distinguish was that they were actually a cluster of voices speaking simultaneously.
"Your parents, your sister and the rest of your family abandoned you but even when that happened I was still with you."
"When you ran away from home to join that criminal organization in your old world, I ran away with you."
"When you finished with all the high command of that organization and you proclaimed yourself as its new leader, I was there, I saw the whole process and I was happy to see how you succeeded."
"When your subordinates betrayed you and almost ended your life, I felt your anger."
"In the end, when you ended up in that world, I felt your worries, your loneliness, your anguish and your madness. No matter how many changes you suffer or what atrocities you commit, I will always be there with you, watching you, giving all my support and love."
With that, that existence brought his face closer to Adolf's, although he could not see, he could actually see the face in front of him with an impossible clarity, it was not beautiful nor was it ugly, rather it was common, it was a face that he could see when you were on the street and forget about him a few minutes later, but even with that Adolf recorded even the smallest detail in his soul to never forget it.
It was at that time that that person placed his face a few centimeters from Adolf's, his eyes "looked" at each other and with a soft voice he asked that existence.
"Are you tired of being left out?"
Adolf didn't speak because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't, but his look said it all.
"Then...why don't you become my husband?"
"If we do that you will never be alone again, plus we can talk all we want just by thinking about it."
It was at this moment that Adolf's eyes reflected the confusion.
"You must be wondering who I am, right? But don't worry, just like you I am loved by the nether, that is why I understand you so well, it is because we are a reflection of each other."
"But I must warn you, if we do that your origin will change from a neutral existence to a devil, the world might hate you for it so think carefully about your next actions."
Adolf "closed" his eyes as he processed the words he just heard, he always brought calamities wherever he went, he could never really get a good life either in this new world or in the old, but just knowing that someone accompanied him throughout his trip, comforted him and it was even when he knew that she was like him.
When Adolf "opened" his eyes again there was no doubt or confusion, just pure clarity, that existence smiled softly as he looked into Adolf's eyes, since she knew his answer.
"I see... I'm glad, I'm really glad, now you and I are officially united in marriage, you the one who wears the skin of the grim reaper and I, the one who wears the skin of the end, we are united forever."
Adolf did not know what it meant
but he didn't give it any importance either, he just felt that his soul formed an inexplicable connection with existence next to him but he didn't feel uncomfortable, it was quite the opposite, he felt a great comfort as if something that should have been there from the beginning had come to pass. end returned.
"Now, if you return to that place as you are, you will die again without a doubt, that is not a problem since our qualities together allow you to revive as long as your soul is strong enough, but with your soul in such a weak state it is only resurrection will leave you totally vulnerable and in a weakened state for half a year."
"That's why let me go."
Those words confused Adolf, but that existence quickly continued to explain.
"I will use a fragment of my soul to use your body and get you out of this mess, maybe you will undergo some physical changes since your body will adapt to the shape of my soul but don't worry, when your soul gets stronger you can reverse the changes, So tell me, do you accept?"
To Adolf's ears that sounded totally delighted but to a third party it would be like a devil deceiving a mere mortal to snatch his soul, but Adolf accepted without hesitation.
When that happened, that existence was surprised, he never expected that he would accept it so easily, since no one, not even a madman, would agree to such a thing, much less someone with a sane mind. After the initial surprise, that existence smiled kindly.
"Really, I was right to choose you as my partner, the long wait was totally worth the wait."
With that, Adolf's consciousness turned completely black, but without him knowing it, a change was coming, if he did not expect what was about to happen, much less would Sir Keiran who is next to the dead body of Adolf. Adolf right now.
