Gwen came to Xinlai's side, and Xinlai turned around and looked into Gwen's indifferent eyes.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Tick-tock-"

"Tick-tick-tick-tick--"

As Gwen finished speaking, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. The raindrops hit Xinlai's shoulders, and the originally clear sky now dimmed.

"This rain...is it your ability?" Xin Lai looked up, looked at the falling rain, and said bitterly.

Gwen shook her head, "No."

The light rain washed away the blood on the ground, but the hair and bodies of the brave team were not affected by the raindrops. It was Gwen who deliberately let the rain avoid the brave team.

Of course, this drizzle was not her work.

"Since we have done it... we must be determined to face failure..." Xin Lai murmured, "I am ready... we lost... so kill me..."

"Well, the king knows."

Gwen's face showed no emotion at all.

"I will leave you an intact body..."

"Thanks..."

"Um... Gwen..." Ito, who was standing by, felt very uncomfortable and said hesitantly: "Is this matter... really not negotiable..."

Gwen looked at him, "You want her to live?"

Ito didn't know how to respond to such straightforward words.

Gwen chuckled. "Ito, you have to know that if we lose, I will be the one to die. And you... will suffer that unbearable life again.

Since you are risking your life... do you think there is room for negotiation?"

"..."

Ito remained silent, a sad expression on his face. His hands slowly clenched, but finally loosened weakly.

"I see..."

Seeing Ito mourning for him, Xin Lai felt as if his blocked heart suddenly cleared up, and it didn't seem to hurt so much anymore.

Seeing Ito's sad look on his face... Xin Lai seemed to have no regrets.

At least...he still has himself in his heart...

She closed her eyes, gave up all struggle, and waited for death to come.

Just as Gwen was about to take action.

——The accident happened suddenly.

"Pfft-"

The sharp weapon cut through the air and pierced through the heart!

Gwen's eyes widened, and the hand that was about to reach for Xinlai's neck suddenly froze in mid-air.

Blood spurted out of Gwen's chest and splashed directly onto Xinlai.

Gwen's heart... was pierced...

Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene and they were unable to recover immediately.

Ito's face changed drastically. He looked behind Gwen. When he saw the person standing behind Gwen, his pupils suddenly contracted!

"Gar...Garrot?! W-what are you doing——"

I see,

Garrott held Sinlai's [Scythe of Death] tightly in his hand, and the tip of the scythe directly penetrated into Gwen's body.

No one expected this.

"Gallot!! What are you doing!!!"

Ito reacted and pushed Carrot away. But Carrot was like a zombie. After being pushed to the ground by Ito, he staggered and tried to stand up, but fell to the ground again.

"puff--"

Gwen turned pale and spat out a large mouthful of blood, then fell precariously into Ito's arms.

What on earth... just happened... why, my heart aches...

She lowered her head and looked at the sharp point of the "Scythe of Death" that pierced her heart.

There was still traces of her blood on the sharp corners.

He wanted to look back, but was stopped by Ito.

"Wait! Don't move now! Listen to me! Don't move now!"

Ito was in a panic, watching blood ooze out from Gwen's lips.

His face was pale and he had no time to think. He just wanted to heal Gwen and gather holy light in his hands.

"what--!"

The moment the holy light touched Gwen's body, Gwen let out a cry of pain and her face became even paler.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Ito apologized hurriedly, then he remembered that the holy light could only cause damage to the demon king and could not heal him at all.

How to do?

Watching the blood flowing out of Gwen's chest, at this moment, Ito seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, and Ito's trembling, pale fingers kept groping Gwen's body, as if trying to relieve Gwen's pain.

At this time, the stunned crowd came to their senses and seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter.

I was in a panic for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Xin Lai looked at Gwen, who was collapsed in Ito's arms with her heart pierced by the sickle.

Crystal tears rolled down her cheeks and her face gradually turned pale.

"How... could it be like this... what's going on..."

Gwen felt that her soul power was rapidly dissipating, and she seemed to feel that her life was coming to an end.

“Cough cough...cough cough cough...”

Gwen spat out a mouthful of blood with a painful expression.

"Ito... cough cough... am I... am I going to die... I feel... I feel so uncomfortable..."

"Idiot! What are you talking about? Don't say such unlucky words!" Ito yelled in despair, "Wait! I'll treat you in a moment! It will be fine! It will be fine! You have to hold on! It will be fine in the end!"

"Gwen will die... No one who has been struck by the Death Scythe has ever survived... Not even the Demon King has survived."

A calm voice came, Ito looked up and found Xin Lai with tears in his eyes, speaking hoarsely through gritted teeth.

Her expression was full of pain.

"What do you mean?! Are you going to take this opportunity to kill Gwen?!"

Xin Lai shook his head:

“No… I never thought about it that way. What I mean is… the Death Scythe attacks the soul power… it only causes superficial damage to the body.

For Gwen, being pierced through the heart might just mean a period of suspended animation... but if her soul is pierced through the heart...

That means you really have to die... There is no other way."

These words,

It was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Ito's heart hard.

His eyes were wide open in disbelief.

"This... How can this be possible... It's fake... It's fake... This must be a joke...

Hey, this kind of joke...is not funny...

How could this happen...?"
