Elysia Died

Elysia died.

P.S.: Good night.

I think I ate something bad. My stomach hurts a little. Sigh.

My Bishop Is Otto

Elysia died.

When all the Flame-Chasers gathered at the invitation, under everyone's watchful eyes—

The most beautiful girl in the world—

Was slain by the strongest man in the world.

She died easily. The Blade of Flames, which had once slain several Herrschers, did not hesitate; it effortlessly extinguished the life of the girl who should have stood beside them all.

The Pink Fairy smiled.

Though the burning pain of Judgment of Shamash was truly unbearable, Elysia still wore a dazzling smile.

Because she knew Kevin must be hurting terribly inside.

If she cried out in pain, Kevin's heart would break even more. So, as a good woman, she endured the agony of her life slipping away and wore the same smile as always.

Then—

A brilliant light erupted from within her body. Even Kevin, who wanted to witness Elysia's death directly, had his eyes scorched by the radiance and let out a muffled groan on instinct.

Whether it was Eden or Aponia, both stared blankly at the dazzling light that accompanied the Thirteenth Herrscher's death. When the light faded, the Honkai Energy that shook their souls also dissipated from the world.

And their best teammate had left forever.

A magnificent gemstone floated in the air. It was the Thirteenth Herrscher Core. The girl's body fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground, kicking up dust. Her dress-like ceremonial attire, resembling a wedding gown, was dirtied by the dust on the ground.

Yet a smile still rested upon her cheeks.

It was as though she were blessing everyone present, wishing them a bright future, while she herself would have to be absent from that future
