Chapter 309 Do You Believe In Happy Endings? [Part 3]


    ??"Zion, what''s going on?" Alessia asked her son while subtly eyeing the Lace Demon anxiously.


    Frankly, no Wanderer would like to meet the right-hand man of The One, for his appearance didn''t always mean good news.


    Most of the time, meeting him meant tragedy. The usual reason why he''d summon Wanderers into his space was to give them missions that they didn''t have the option to refuse.


    These missions were extremely difficult, and most of the time, those who were chosen would perish in their attempt to clear it.


    No one really knew what these missions were, but one thing was certain. Meeting the Lace Demon was something that most Wanderers didn''t want to experience in their lifetime.


    "Mother, Shasha, please listen to me," Thirteen said. "I want to save this girl, and for that, I will need both of your help."


    As if waiting for that moment, the Lace Demon snapped his finger, and a Dimensional Gate appeared on Thirteen''s right side, showing a person on the other side of it.


    "Zion?" Gerald looked at his son from the other side of the Gate in surprise.


    He was currently preparing to craft something in his workshop when the Dimensional Gate appeared giving him a fright.


    But, a momentter, his eyes widened in shock when he also saw Alessia and his daughter, Shasha, standing beside his son, who was looking at him with a solemn expression.


    "Pops, I need your help," Thirteen stated. "Come here for a while."


    Gerald didn''t even hesitate and quickly stepped forward to cross the Dimensional Gate, where his family was waiting for him.


    Once he crossed to the other side, his gaze hardened upon seeing Lace Demon, who was standing a few meters away from him with his arms crossed over his chest.


    "We don''t have much time, so I''ll exin everything in a nutshell." Thirteen then started to tell his family what he nned to do, making his parents, and his sister, look at him in disbelief.


    "So, are you willing to help me?" Thirteen asked.


    Alessia and Gerald nced at each other before nodding their heads at the same time.


    ""We''re willing.""


    The ten-year-old sighed internally because he managed to cross the biggest hurdle. If Alessia and Gerald refused, he would have to think of another way to put an end to this tragic story.


    "Please unfreeze time for Uncle Boo and Albion," Thirteen said softly.


    Lace Demon nodded, and the two monsters had been freed from the frozen time.


    As if nothing had changed, the two monsters still continued to cry, with Uncle Boo wailing as if his time didn''t freeze in the first ce.


    Seeing this, Alessia clenched her fists. Just with how they were crying, she could tell how much these two beings cared for the girl, whose wrinkled body looked like it belonged to an old woman about to breathe herst.


    Uncle Boo and Albion were so engrossed in their sadness that they weren''t aware that the time of others hade to a stop. They simply wept bitterly and held Callie for as long as they could before her life escaped their grasp.


    "Uncle Boo, Albion, do you wish to save Callie?" Thirteen asked, making the two monsters look in his direction with tears still streaming from their eyes.


    "Yes! I''ll do anything, just please, save her!" Uncle Boo replied.


    "No matter the price, I will give it to you," Albion stated. "Please. Save Callie!"


    "Very well. I will ask for both of your lives in order to save her," Thirteen dered. "Are you willing?"


    "Will taking my life really save her?" Uncle Boo asked. "If yes, then go ahead. I was born from her dream, so I am willing to return to being one of her dreams as long as she gets to live."


    "I am also prepared," Albion stated. "As long as you promise me that you will save her, you can take my life."


    It was only then that the two Monsters noticed the presence of other people, including the Lace Demon.


    They didn''t really know who he was, but their gut instinct was telling them that he was someone that they mustn''t offend no matter what.


    Both of them also noticed that the world around them had turned gray in color and that all the monsters in the distance, including those who were flying in the sky, weren''t moving.


    "Listen, this is what we are going to do," Thirteen said as he exined to the two monsters what they needed to do.


    Uncle Boo and Albion listened without saying a word until the boy had finished telling them everything.(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push(["_mgc.load"])})(window,"_mgq");


    When Thirteen was done talking, both of them nced at each other before nodding their heads at the same time. "Do it," Uncle Boo wiped the tears in his eyes before holding Callie''s hand.


    Albion looked at Thirteen with a determined nce before bowing his head.


    "Thank you."


    He was proud and arrogant and had never bowed his head to anyone. But this time, he did just that because this was the only way he could show how grateful he was.


    "Lace Demon, everyone is ready," Thirteen said. "Let''s start."


    Lace Demon nodded before walking behind Gerald and Alessia.


    He then raised his palms as he did what Thirteen had asked of him.


    Alessia and Gerald both glowed faintly, and a golden orb of light floated out of their bodies.


    These two golden lights then merged into one, glowing faintly like a flickering candle in the darkness.


    "It''s time," Thirteen said. "Shasha, do it."


    Shasha nodded and took out her sword.


    Uncle Boo stood up and nodded his head at the teenage girl, who was about to take his life.


    Lowering his resistance to the fullest, Uncle Boo closed his eyes and only hoped that Shasha would make it quick.


    Shasha coated her de with the power of the moonlight and pierced Uncle Boo''s chest in one swift and deadly blow.


    A purple mist escaped Uncle Boo''s body and flew toward the flickering golden me.


    The me then greedily absorbed the life force of the Beholder, making its me grow brighter with each passing second.


    Albion then gentlyid Callie on the ground before standing still.


    He didn''t say any word, for there was no need to say anything.


    Just like what Shasha did to Uncle Boo, Shasha also pierced the Unicorn''s chest with her sword.


    Albion''s life force also flew toward the golden me, burning brightly.


    Lace Demon waited until Uncle Boo''s and Albion''s life force had been fully absorbed by the Golden me before he made his move.


    He touched Callie''s head, and a few secondster, a blue orb of light emerged from her forehead and slowly floated toward the golden me, merging with it.


    When that was done, Lace Demon pointed his fingers at Thirteen''s and Callie''s chests, piercing a hole into them.


    The ten-year-old''s blood flowed toward the golden me, while Callie''s blood flowed toward Thirteen''s body.


    This processsted for half a minute before both of their blood stopped flowing.


    The younger boy swayed at where he stood, but Shasha was quick enough to catch him.


    With his sister supporting her, Thirteen regained his bnce. He looked at the golden me, whose brightness was slowly receding.


    Suddenly, from within that golden light, the cry of a baby was heard.


    When the light fully disappeared, a newborn baby girl floated towards Alessia, and thetter held her gently in her embrace.


    "It''s done," Lace Demon dered before looking at the crying baby girl, who had been born through unnatural means.


    He didn''t know what kind of fate awaited her in the future, but one thing was certain.


    She was no longer the Moon Princess, and she would no longer be forced to dance in the palms of the King of Artem, who was still fuming because he didn''t get the chance to descend in Solterra and crush the boy who had gotten in his way.(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push(["_mgc.load"])})(window,"_mgq");
