The tumultuous battlefield fell into an eerie silence with the appearance of the Elder. Derby's eyes sparkled with hope, Palmer and Vasilina's gaze appeared somewhat blank, as if unable to believe the scene before them.
Bologue faced this situation with a deep sigh, remembering the words Fuen once said to him, which were originally told to Fuen by Serey.
The shell is eternal, but the inner soul is decayed beyond repair.
Bologue believed that the Elder before him was once a loyal human ally, brave in battle, fighting on the front lines against death, scorning all acts of cowardice.
Unfortunately, humans are fickle. As the years pass, while the Elder's shell does not die, his heart and soul continuously wither and decay.
