00:02When I woke up, I was pinned to the abyss by soul-locking nails.
00:06My beloved held someone else.
00:09Why did you lie to me?
00:11An elder god and a demon god can't coexist.
00:14I begged for mercy.
00:16Please.
00:17But he drove his sword through my heart.
00:22Years later, I stood before him.
00:26Husband.
00:28I'm here to get what's mine.
00:39I came home only to find my master slam.
00:41Elder god Aldric had taken master's immortal bones to elevate his mortal wife Alera.
00:46In return, he granted all Ashevale disciples ascension.
00:49Everyone desired to ascend to the celestial realm.
00:52But I hate his guts.
00:53He killed the only person who ever cared for me.
00:56I am ready to rush into the yard and dig up my demon sword.
00:59Edna grabbed my arm.
01:00Your master's dying wish was for you to stay safe.
01:03Don't challenge the elder god, Lyra.
01:05I yanked my arm away and sneered.
01:06I wasn't going to fight the god.
01:08I just wanted someone dead to bury with my master.
01:12Lyra, this sword wouldn't even scratch Aldric's skin.
01:16Your master said trading his life was worth it.
01:18I beg you, don't go to die.
01:20No.
01:21He was lying.
01:25No one even stayed with my master for a moment.
01:28Every disciple followed Aldric without a second glance.
01:31Edna forced a smile to comfort me.
01:33But you're back, aren't you?
01:35That's enough.
01:37Your master made this for you.
01:38He said you'd like it.
01:39I touched the dried bloodstain on the pot's edge.
01:42Was he making soup for me when he died?
01:44Yes.
01:45He was watching over it.
01:47He remembered you don't like bitter things.
01:49Silly old man.
01:50He never stopped caring for me.
01:51Not even knowing I'd been lying to him.
01:53I don't actually dislike bitter things.
01:55I just didn't want to take medicine.
01:58When my master brought me home, I was badly injured.
02:01Ever since then, I've had to rely on medicine to stay alive.
02:04I used to pour it out when he wasn't watching.
02:06He caught me once, but didn't punish me.
02:09He just brought me honey cakes to coax me.
02:11For years there was never anything bitter on my plate.
02:13He took that lie to his grave.
02:17I took the pot from Edna's hands, drank half, then poured the rest over my master's body.
02:23The soup is delicious.
02:25Shame it stained with blood.
02:26All those tears she'd been holding back spilled over at once.
02:30It was my turn to repay him.
02:32He's been alone long enough.
02:34I'll find him some company.
02:36Edna just cried and told me to come back alive.
02:39I picked up my blade and headed for the Celestial Realm.
02:42Liar!
02:43How dare you behave with such insolence to the God King!
02:46Bring Aldric out!
02:47Liar!
02:48You were just a mortal.
02:50Do you understand what you said?
02:52That monster killed our master.
02:54How dare you defend him!
02:56Something shifted behind his eyes.
02:57Rosalind shoved past Marcus.
02:59Master was born with divine bones.
03:01And we just took the opportunity.
03:03Master had gave them everything he had.
03:05He trusted his disciples.
03:07A ways giving them a chance to prove themselves.
03:09So I gave them his final chance.
03:11The revenge is mine to handle.
03:13How dare you presume to give us orders!
03:17Lyra, every one of us has ascended.
03:19Isn't that what master wanted?
03:22Aldric granted me ascension.
03:24With me here, you'll never reach him.
03:28My demon sword suddenly roared out and pierced Marcus' heart.
03:31The entire Celestial Guard flinched back.
03:34Weapons snapping up.
03:35Rosalind stumbled two steps and stared in horror.
03:40Marcus ascended!
03:42Normal weapons can't touch him!
03:43What did you do?
03:44I held the blade up.
03:46You'll figure it out in a second.
03:50My sword hasn't tasted divine blood in ages.
03:53You monster!
03:55Rosalind summoned her weapon from the machine.
03:57A soldier grabbed her arm and pointed at Marcus.
04:00Rosalind!
04:01Look!
04:02It's drinking on its own!
04:04So what?
04:05No!
04:06You just ascended.
04:08You don't know this yet.
04:10Only one blade craves the divine's blood.
04:13What blade?
04:15Soul Reaper.
04:16Only the ancient demon god can wield it!
04:19Shut up!
04:20It was me who destroyed that dark god's.
04:23Soul Reaper no longer exists.
04:53Soul Reaper no longer exists.
04:54He chained me with demon.
04:55Binding chains.
04:57Yet played the righteous god.
04:58I was pregnant.
05:00So my power was halved.
05:02I begged him.
05:03He said good and evil cannot coexist.
05:05He looks at me as if I were a stranger.
05:09He ripped my demon power out of me and tore me apart.
05:12However my unborn child saved me.
05:14It is my child who saved my soul with his own life.
05:18I was reborn full of hatred.
05:20Yet I was so weak that anyone could kill me again.
05:23Don't be scared.
05:25I'll protect you.
05:26It is my master who pulled me out of the dirt.
05:28The old man laugh lines brought me warmth.
05:31He tucked me against his chest.
05:32I was nine years old when I finished rebuilding Soul Reaper.
05:35I was ready to leave.
05:36The night before I planned to leave, master knocked on my door, holding a roasted partridge.
05:42You haven't been eating.
05:43You haven't been eating.
05:44Try it.
05:44If you like it, I'll make it every week.
05:47Why do you always care so much about me?
05:50He fiddled with his beard.
05:52Because I regard you as my own daughter.
05:54I watched his hair fade to white as the years went by.
05:57Something stony in my cold heart had gone soft.
06:00There was actually someone in this world who loved me.
06:02I buried Soul Reaper and my sorrow under the old ash tree.
06:05But Aldrich tore it all apart again and dug my hatred right back up.
06:08I looked up toward where his voice had come from.
06:11Aldrich.
06:12Long time no see.
06:16A flash of white light blazed across the celestial sky, searing every corner of the divine realm.
06:22In an instant, Elder God Aldrich materialized right in front of Lyra.
06:26His tall frame casting a heavy shadow over her.
06:29Alera cowered safely behind his broad back.
06:32Her hands clutching his robes tightly.
06:34Her face pale with fear but still laced with arrogance.
06:37I don't know you.
06:38Aldrich spoke.
06:39His voice deep but laced with obvious hesitation.
06:42He stared at Lyra's unfamiliar mortal face.
06:45His golden eyes scanning her up and down.
06:48Yet he could not sense any familiar divine aura from her.
06:51Lyra lowered her eyes slightly.
06:52A cold smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
06:55She had rebuilt her soul and reshaped her body with hatred after rebirth.
06:59Of course he could not recognize her.
07:01The wife he had personally killed thousands of years ago.
07:04She lifted her head suddenly.
07:05Her sharp gaze piercing straight through Aldrich and landing on Alera behind him.
07:09My master Edwin's divine bones will you feel well.
07:14Did you enjoy the power and eternal life that was stolen from him?
07:22I know you are grieving over your master's death.
07:25I'll let this go for now out of mercy.
07:28Leave the celestial realm at once.
07:30Aldrich's eyes sharpened at once.
07:31His gentle expression fading away.
07:33And never come back.
07:35He turned around, ready to take Alera away.
07:37But at that moment, Lyra moved like a gust of wind.
07:40Her hand shooting out to grab Alera's wrist tightly.
07:43Her fingers were cold and strong, making Alera gasp in pain.
07:46I want my master's bones returned.
07:49And both of you to keep him company in death.
07:52Alera's face twisted with rage and humiliation.
07:55She had been a noble mortal woman favored by the Elder God.
07:58And no one had ever dared to treat her so rudely.
08:01Without hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped Lyra hard across the face.
08:05The sound echoing sharply in the silent square.
08:08You ungrateful little wretch!
08:11Apologize to me right now.
08:13Or I will make sure you never leave this divine realm alive.
08:16Not even a bone left of you.
08:18She did not flinch or get angry.
08:20Instead, she let out a low, mocking laugh that sent chills down everyone's spine.
08:25Ridiculous.
08:27Every person who has ever hurt me is already dead and gone.
08:30There is only one person left alive.
08:34My husband.
08:38Alera froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.
08:41She burst into loud, scornful laughter, thinking Lyra was talking nonsense.
08:46Your husband?
08:47But before she could finish laughing, a surge of invisible dark energy suddenly wrapped around her body,
08:52slamming her heart against the nearby stone pillar.
08:55She screamed in agony, her body writhing in pain.
08:59What did you do to me?
09:01Call off this dark magic at once!
09:04Are you completely insane?
09:06Lyra ignored her desperate cries and pleas.
09:09The divine bones.
09:11Return them to me willingly,
09:13or I will tear them out of your body myself.
09:16Alera's body trembled violently,
09:18and she looked up at Aldrich with terror-filled eyes,
09:21begging for his help silently.
09:23His face darkened, and he stared at Lyra with murderous intent.
09:26I give you two choices.
09:28Walk away peacefully right now,
09:30or I will take you apart right here on the spot.
09:37Aldrich's words hung heavy in the air,
09:39full of unquestionable divine authority.
09:41But Lyra just looked at him quietly,
09:43her eyes filled with endless sorrow and burning hatred.
09:46After a long, suffocating silence,
09:48she opened her mouth softly,
09:50her voice trembling slightly,
09:51but carrying a weight that could not be ignored.
09:53My husband,
09:55you've already torn me apart once, did you?
10:00The moment the words fell,
10:01Aldrich froze completely,
10:02as if struck by lightning.
10:04His golden eyes widened,
10:05and all the anger and coldness on his face
10:07vanished in an instant,
10:09replaced by blank shock.
10:10Beside him,
10:11Rosalind collapsed limply to the ground,
10:13her face panic-stricken,
10:15unable to believe what she had just heard.
10:17He only had one wife in his entire life.
10:20You're just a mortal making up lies
10:23to slander up lies,
10:24to slander the Elder God.
10:29Rosalind shouted hoarsely,
10:31known of them knew the truth.
10:32For thousands of years,
10:34Lyra had been by Aldrich's side,
10:36sharing well and woe with him
10:38through the ancient wastes.
10:39All the gods and immortals
10:41who had witnessed Aldrich's cruel betrayal
10:42were either killed or silenced forever.
10:45He had carefully built a glorious image of himself
10:47as the righteous god
10:48who defeated the dark gods
10:49to save the world,
10:50and he would never let anyone know the ugly truth,
10:53that he had killed his own beloved wife
10:55for another mortal woman.
10:56Lyra's gaze never left Aldrich's face,
10:58her voice cold and mocking.
11:01Have you never told her the truth
11:03about who I really am?
11:05Lyra's breath caught in her throat.
11:07She turned to look at Aldrich in disbelief,
11:09her voice trembling.
11:11Was she actually your wife?
11:13Tell me it's not true!
11:16I married her, yes,
11:18but not because I truly loved her.
11:21Lyra's eyes immediately softened.
11:22Okay, I believe you.
11:24And she leaned into his arms trustingly.
11:27Those three simple words
11:28shattered Lyra's last trace of softness completely.
11:35Tears blurred Lyra's vision unconsciously.
11:37She thought back to the long years
11:39she had spent with Aldrich.
11:41He had pulled her out of the dark ancient wastes,
11:44only to stab her in the heart
11:45when she loved him most deeply.
11:47She quickly closed her eyes
11:48to drive away the weakness,
11:50knowing clearly that this was not love anymore.
11:52It was pure, burning rage.
11:54After her rebirth,
11:56all she felt was endless coldness and hatred.
11:58Aldrich,
11:59it's time to end all of this.
12:02Tell me where you heard these lies.
12:04Lyra lifted her head slightly,
12:06her eyes shining with dark light.
12:10That unborn baby sacrificed his life
12:12to save my broken soul.
12:14I was pregnant with your child
12:17when you killed me.
12:20And that is why I am standing here alive today.
12:24Aldrich's eyes tightened suddenly.
12:26He staggered back half a step.
12:29Impossible.
12:30This is absolutely impossible.
12:38If you had known I'm pregnant,
12:40would you still kill me?
12:42Aldrich's jaw tightened sharply,
12:44his face twisting with hesitation and struggle.
12:46For a moment,
12:47the memory of their years together
12:48flashed through his mind,
12:49but it was quickly replaced
12:51by his firm belief in light and darkness.
12:54He gritted his teeth hard,
12:55his voice cold and ruthless.
12:57No way.
12:58Because you are the dark god,
13:00and evil can never coexist with light.
13:02I would make the same choice again.
13:04The last complicated thread of affection and nostalgia
13:06in Lyra's heart snapped cleanly,
13:08leaving only endless darkness
13:10and killing intent.
13:11Aldrich's voice booming with divine authority
13:13that echoed across the entire celestial realm.
13:16This woman carries demon blood
13:17and spreads dark lies.
13:19She is a threat to the entire divine realm.
13:22Take her down now!
13:24The divine host
13:25raising their divine weapons.
13:28At that critical moment,
13:30a loud resonant sword chant
13:32suddenly rang out.
13:34So Reaper,
13:34sliced through the sky
13:35with rolling dark energy,
13:37instantly protecting Lyra in its center,
13:39repelling the charging soldiers
13:40in an instant.
13:41You've been starving for divine blood
13:43for hundreds of years,
13:44waiting for this moment.
13:46Now drink it all.
13:47Regain your full power.
13:53You've been starving for years.
13:55Now drink it.
13:56So Reaper was forged for me at birth.
13:58It knew exactly what I was capable of.
14:01During my time as Aldrich's wife,
14:03its power had slowly hollowed out.
14:05After it was shattered and reforged,
14:07it was a ghost of what it used to be.
14:09A divine host warrior hit me.
14:11I stepped up off the ground.
14:13Black energy unraveled from my hands
14:15and swallowed the sky above the celestial realm.
14:18Every soldier it touched dropped
14:19really still.
14:20The celestial realm had become a tomb.
14:23I gathered the blood from them
14:24into one shimmering sphere
14:26and sent it to Soul Reaper.
14:29All of it.
14:31Drink everything.
14:32Alera grabbed Aldrich's sleeve.
14:34You said only Soul Raider drinks divine blood.
14:36How does she have a second one?
14:39Aldrich watched Soul Reaper grow,
14:41drain the sphere,
14:41and return to full size.
14:43Dark energy rolling off the blade in waves.
14:46Aldrich went pale.
14:48That is the original Soul Reaper.
14:50He looked at me like a strange.
14:56Who are you?
14:57I sighed.
14:59Fine.
15:00Let me show you.
15:05Thick black energy condensed into a sharp bolt
15:07and shot toward Aldrich at blinding speed,
15:10slicing through the celestial air with a sharp hiss.
15:12A cheap trick.
15:14Still contemptuous,
15:15golden eyes glinting with arrogant disdain
15:17before his hand moved.
15:19I was already behind Alera,
15:21cold fingers closing around her throat
15:22in a vice-like grip.
15:23Aldrich's unshakable divine composure
15:25shattered completely.
15:26Let her go.
15:28Whatever you want from me.
15:29She's carrying something that belongs to me.
15:31Tendrils of black energy slowly rose from Alera's crown,
15:35twisting like living smoke with a faint malevolent glow.
15:38It was my demon power.
15:39The core Aldrich brutally ripped from my pregnant,
15:42helpless body and forced into this mortal for immortality.
15:45Bound to the demon deity's soul.
15:47It alone shapes the true ancient form I hid for centuries.
15:51Aldrich froze mid-step,
15:52face draining of color.
15:56I touched my own face.
15:58Lyra.
15:59And he stepped toward me.
16:01Believe me now?
16:02Something broke and moved across his expression.
16:05Lyra.
16:05Whatever dead exists between us.
16:07Let Alera go.
16:08Soul Reaper placed itself between us.
16:10Don't move.
16:11He had to stop.
16:12His great blade had been destroyed
16:14when we fled the ancient wastes.
16:16Now, he had nothing to counter Soul Reaper.
16:18I was about to take Alera's bones
16:20when my master's wife came.
16:21Lyra.
16:22I couldn't stay home.
16:24She kneeled down.
16:25God King.
16:26My girl is out of her mind with grief.
16:28Let me take her home.
16:30Please, I'll do anything.
16:31If you can bring her to heal,
16:34I'll grant you whatever you ask.
16:36I wanted to shake her,
16:37and then I raised one hand.
16:39Don't beg him, Edna.
16:41Grab my master's bones and go home.
16:43I'll come back when this is finished.
16:47Lyra, don't.
16:49What happened to you?
16:51Eldritch moved fast.
16:54The girl you raised was the Dark Gods.
16:57I am giving you a chance to kill her,
16:59and I will make Ashwiel the greatest order in the world.
17:03Edna walked to me.
17:04I don't know what you said, but I know my husband.
17:07He wanted this order to grow, yes,
17:09but not with her blood.
17:10My tears dropped.
17:12Decades, I had honestly stopped thinking I still could tear.
17:15I pulled Edna behind me.
17:18Let me handle the rest.
17:20Take my master's bones home.
17:22Would you burn down the entire divine order just for a mortar?
17:27A mortal?
17:29That is what I live for.
17:34You ruined the one who loved me,
17:36and now pay for the price.
17:39I looked back at Eldritch and drew Soul Reaper,
17:41though Alara's chest.
17:42Alara's scream split the air open.
17:47Go.
17:49I give the bones to Edna,
17:50Edna already crying.
17:55Tell me you're coming back.
17:58I'll be there.
18:00I nodded without hesitating.
18:02Edna took master's bones back.
18:05Only now do I understand what family means to me.
18:08Soul Reaper materialized beside me.
18:10Laya,
18:11do you honestly think we walk out of this?
18:14Scared?
18:15I already died with you once.
18:17Why would I be scared of a second time?
18:20Then let's go.
18:21I had known the answer since I found the first step.
18:24Nobody fights the entire divine order and walks away.
18:34The sky changed color.
18:36Red rained.
18:37Someone held out their hand to catch a drop,
18:39then yanked it back.
18:40That's blood.
18:42What the hell is happening up there?
18:43The Celestial Realm was a war ruin.
18:45He killed my master.
18:47This kill is mine.
18:48Besides,
18:49you can't beat him alone.
18:50You'll die.
18:51No matter.
18:52My second life is master's gift,
18:54and now giving it back for him seems right.
18:57Black and white tore into each other in the space of peace.
19:08Soul Reaper watched me drag the last of my demon power.
19:11Was it worth it, Lila?
19:12The Elder God Aldrich came apart like smoke in a wind.
19:15I could see my master chasing me around the courtyard with a medicine bowl.
19:18Lila!
19:19Come on.
19:21Take it and I'll get you something sweet after.
19:24I'm not a little kid.
19:26I don't want sweets.
19:30Doesn't matter.
19:31In my head you are always five years old.
19:34That is never changing.
19:35Why would you do that?
19:36A sword I can replace, but promise to you I cannot.
19:40He was gone before I could touch him.
19:42Soul Reaper!
19:44Take me home!
19:46For the second time in my life, I cried and couldn't stop.
19:48When I pressed my divine heart into my master's chest,
19:52Edna's screams shook the whole courtyard.
19:54She fought toward me.
19:55Lila!
19:55What are you doing?
19:57Stop!
19:57Stop right now!
19:58She's bringing master back.
20:00Then what happens to her if she gives up her heart?
20:03She falls into the void between worlds and no rebirth.
20:06Edna shook violently.
20:08No!
20:08Lyra, no!
20:09Your master would never want this!
20:11Let her go, Edna.
20:13Since she left the ancient Wyths,
20:15you two are the only people who ever loved her for real.
20:19Edna pulled me into her arms.
20:25Stop crying.
20:26I'll cry as much as I want, you terrible girl.
20:30Bring me the candy under my pillow, Edna.
20:32Yes!
20:33Yes, I'm going right now!
20:34You wait for me!
20:35I looked at Soul Reaper.
20:36One more thing.
20:38Before I disappear completely,
20:40slash my wrist.
20:41Let a few drops of Ikran fall into the broth.
20:44When Edna drinks it,
20:45she'll live as long as master does.
20:47And one more thing.
20:49Help my master rebuild the Asheville Order.
20:51Make it the greatest in the world.
20:52He's too kind.
20:54He'll take in every stray who knocks on the gate.
20:56Watch who he chooses.
20:57Don't let him collect another Marcus.
20:59You never used to say more than ten words at a time.
21:01Now I can't shut you up.
21:03I looked one last time at my master's face.
21:05It was he who found me by the roadside
21:07and brought me warmth.
21:09Soul Reaper.
21:10It couldn't answer.
21:12I really hope we meet again.
21:14Me too.
21:18It's not a meme.
21:18You
