Outside the temple.

A touch of faint blue quietly hides in the shadows, like a drop of water, blending into the night.

Rhine's long seaweed-like hair fell limply on his shoulders, making his face look even paler.

He looked through the gap at everything that happened in the temple, his eyelashes trembling slightly, like a wounded butterfly, so fragile that it made people feel distressed.

He saw Rosie's sadness, Kyle's weakness, Lu Ye's self-blame, and Xuanqi's confusion.

He wanted to go in, to be with Rosie, to do something for her.

but……

He looked at his weak body and smiled bitterly.

He'll only cause her trouble if he behaves like this.

Laing slowly closed his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyelids, hiding the loss and pain in his eyes.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and opened his eyes abruptly.

A hint of hesitation and struggle flashed across his eyes, but in the end, it was replaced by determination.

He slowly opened his mouth, and a crystal clear bead slowly came out of his mouth.

The bead emitted a faint blue light, like a bright star, beautiful and mysterious.

That is... the Sea God Pearl.

However, this Sea God Pearl is not complete. It is covered with cracks and looks like it will break at any time.

Rhine looked at the Sea God Pearl in his hand with complicated eyes, as if he was looking at his most precious treasure, but also as if he was looking at a life that was about to die.

He knew that this Sea God Pearl was the source of his power and the continuation of his life.

If he loses it, he will become even weaker, or even... die.

But he doesn't care.

As long as he can save Kyle and make Rosie no longer sad, he is willing to give everything.

Rhine took a deep breath and slowly put the Sea God Pearl into his mouth.

He closed his eyes and began to chant an ancient spell.

The spell was low and melodious, like a call from ancient times, or a whisper from the deep sea.

As the spell was chanted, the Seagod Pearl began to emit a dazzling light, enveloping Rhine completely.

Rhine's body began to become transparent, as if it was about to merge into the light.

……

The battle reached a fever pitch, and Kyle was at his limit.

His vision went dark, his body felt hollowed out, and he barely had the strength to even raise his hands.

In a trance, he saw Rosie.

She was wearing the same snow-white dress she had worn when they first met, sitting in a flying vehicle, being chased by an eighth-level ferocious beast.

Still so panicked, still so...heartbreaking.

Rosie's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was trembling like a frightened deer: "Kyle...save me..."

Kyle's heart skipped a beat.

Without thinking, he reached out to the figure, wanting to pull her into his arms and protect her.

"That's not Sissi... wake up."

In the void, a weak voice suddenly sounded, like a thunder, splitting the fog in front of Kyle's eyes.

It's Rhine!

Kyle suddenly came back to his senses, and a hint of clarity flashed in his amber eyes.

He saw that although the figure looked exactly like Rosie, her eyes were empty and cold, without a trace of warmth.

"You are not her..."

Kyle's voice was hoarse and low, as if squeezed out from the depths of his throat.

He swung his fist and without hesitation, hit the figure hard.

"boom--"

The figure shattered in an instant, turned into a ball of black mist, and dissipated in the air.

The dark world before my eyes also dissipated.

Kyle saw Rosie.

She stood there, her face full of worry, tears falling one by one like beads from a broken string.

"Kyle..."

Rosie's voice was tearful, like a wounded kitten.

Kyle's heart felt like it was hit hard by something, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

He wanted to raise his hand to wipe away Luo Xi's tears, but found that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

"Sissi..."

Kyle's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

He tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth, wanting to give Luo Xi a comforting smile, but found that he didn't even have the strength to smile.

"I'm fine..."

He spoke softly, his voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed by gravel, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat. He wanted to reassure her, but he didn't know that this weak voice made her even more distressed.

Before he could finish his words, a strong feeling of dizziness came over him, as if dragging him into endless darkness. His vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

Rosie's heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, the pain making her almost suffocate. She held Kyle tightly, as if he were a fragile treasure, afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.
