Farewell

"Buzz!"

As the sound of bricks scraping against each other rang out, the heavy stone door was slowly pushed open, revealing the dark space hidden behind it.

"Click"

"Bang!"

As the sounds of metal scraping and impact rang out, the stone door was fully opened, and the secret sealed for a hundred years returned to the world under the sunlight.

"The Atantut Dynasty! Bora, look! It's the palace of the Atantut Dynasty! (Tut)"

"Yes! Tut, I saw it! (Bora)"

"Haha! We actually found it! (Tut)"

"Yes!"

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

"Gentlemen, if you continue to make such a racket, our work will never be finished!" (Josephine)

Upon hearing their female companion's reminder, the two men who were cheering and jumping stopped what they were doing.

"Josephine is right, we need to get started right away! (Tut)"

"Yes! It's time to reap the rewards of our labor!" (Bora)

After reaching an agreement, the three packed up their tools and eagerly headed towards the ruins.

"Tut, look over there, how exquisite it is!" (Bora)

"It's truly unimaginable how humans built such exquisite structures over three hundred years ago! (Tut)"

"Oh, this is wonderful!" (Bora)

Just as the two were immersed in the charm of ancient civilization, the only conscious member of the three issued a summons order to them.

"You two, come here right now!"

Hearing the urgent tone, the two exchanged a glance and then quickly ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

A short while later, they found their companion in front of a black stone tablet.

"Josephine, what's wrong?" (Bora)

"Take a close look at the inscription on this monument!" (Josephine)

"The inscription on the stele?"

After repeating the key information from their female companion's words, the two hurriedly looked towards the monument.

"A dark blue, Immortal Demon, an eternal messenger of hell, bringing death, misfortune, and ultimate destruction to humanity. He will follow us forever until the sun collapses and the moon perishes."

As Bora read out the last character, the three archaeologists looked at each other in astonishment.

"Could it be that the real reason for the collapse of the Atantut Civilization was this so-called Immortal Demon (Tut)?"

"No! That's impossible! Demons are just myths and legends, how could they possibly appear in reality!" (Bora)

"If magic exists in this world, then demons aren't impossible, are they?" (Josephine)

"Ridiculous! If demons truly exist, why haven't they appeared in historical records? Why hasn't anyone seen him all these years? (Bora)"

"This..."

Upon hearing her companion's rebuttal, Josephine was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Snap!"

"Thump!"

Hearing the sounds of shattering vessels and heavy objects falling to the ground beside them, the two who had been standing in silent confrontation turned around and shouted, "Tut, can't you be a little more careful? We're in the ruins of a civilization right now!"

Seeing their companion, who was lying on the ground with a look of terror on his face, the two who had been roaring exchanged a glance, and then slowly turned their heads behind them.

"Blue...bluish-black...(Bora)"

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

The sound of something cutting through the air carried a beam of orange-red light to the location of the three people, triggering a violent explosion that kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust.

After completing his daily tasks, the lecherous man found himself drawn to the Ice Beauty's house once again.

"Knock knock"

"Knock knock"

Not long after the knocking, the door slowly opened from the inside.

"This time I'm..."

Just as someone was about to declare himself a proper gentleman, he instantly stopped typing when he saw who opened the door.

"Why is it you?"

Seeing the surprised look on the person's face, the person who opened the door said smugly, "Hehe! Ulu is my master, why can't I be here?"

"Wow! You actually succeeded!"

After venting his frustrations, Old Suo shook his head and walked into the room.

He shrugged at the door, then followed His Majesty the His Majesty the Emperor Lord Zero Emperor the house.

After sprawling out on the sofa in a relaxed, sprawling pose, Old Suo belatedly asked, "By the way! Where's your teacher?"

Upon hearing the question, Lord Zero Emperor did not answer, but instead pointed to a room to the side. Just then, the sound of flowing water and the enchanting singing of the Ice Beauty came from there, indirectly confirming Zero Emperor's answer.

"Uncle, would you like to go inside and have a look around?"

Looking at the white-haired boy winking at him, His Majesty the Emperor swallowed hard to moisten his parched throat, and then...

"Bang!"

After making a Maruko on the head of the Lord Zero Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor dragged him out of the room.

"Bang!"

To avoid any unforeseen events, His Majesty the Emperor planted himself and a certain delinquent youth in a snowdrift and calmed down for a while.

"Squeak!"

What are you two doing?

Hearing the shout from the doorway, the two snowmen... well, the two upside-down snowmen suddenly burst open and transformed into two boys.

"Ulu, you must close the door properly when you take a shower from now on. Don't give that bad boy a chance."

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense. He was the one who tried to spy on you, not me!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After rewarding the two lecherous men with a takoyaki (octopus Maruko) each, the Ice Beauty dragged them into the room.

"Tell me! What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing the judge's question, the two suspected molesters kneeling below exchanged a glance, then argued, "Your Honor, I am innocent! The real culprit is him!"

"Please speak in turn!"

Seeing the judge's smile, the two suspects shivered involuntarily. Then, the cunning His Majesty the Emperor secretly used Space Magic to suppress the Lord Zero Emperor, seizing the right to speak first.

"Ulu, listen to me. Here's what happened. As soon as I walked in, this kid mocked me. Then, he tried to tempt me to peep at you while you were showering. As a proper gentleman, I immediately refused his offer and took him outside to let him calm down."

"Oh? Is that really the case?"

Seeing that he was being questioned, His Majesty the Emperor straightened his back and shouted, "If it weren't for this, do you think this kid could have taken me outside?" (Oh! I forgot to mention earlier that the two suspects on trial were kneeling, while the judge was sitting.)

After carefully considering His Majesty the Emperor's words, the judge nodded and said, "That's true!"

However, as a qualified law enforcement officer, the judge decided to give the Number Two suspect a chance to speak.

"Pervert, let him go!"

Upon hearing the judge's order, Suspect Number One nodded and then dispelled the Space Magic.

"Leon, is what Sordil just said true?"

Although Lord Zero Emperor knew that arguing was useless, he did it anyway for his own safety.

"Master, he's lying! I didn't mock him at all, nor did I lure him to peep at you while you were bathing. He made all of this up!"

"Oh? How did you get outside?"

"This guy threatened me, making me spy for him. I refused, so he threw me into the snowdrift!"

"You're talking nonsense! If I wanted to peep, I could do it anytime. Why would I need to threaten a little brat like you? Besides, I've seen your master's body before. Is it necessary to visit it again?"

"Bang!"

The moment the idiot finished speaking, the blushing judge shoved him into the floor.

"You pervert!"

Seeing the two's reactions, Lord Zero Emperor, who had discovered the shocking inside story, turned into a white plaster statue (the kind that stares blankly).

A moment later, the man pulled his head out and restored the floor to its original state, at which point the judge announced the final verdict.

"Based on the results of evidence collected from multiple sources, this judge hereby renders the following judgment: First, the culprit in this incident is Leon Bastia, Sordil is the victim."

"Secondly, given the prisoner's appalling attitude and confession to his crimes, it is hereby sentenced that Leon Bastia be left naked in the cold wind for 24 hours and that his food and water supplies be cut off."

"Third, although Sordil was a victim, his handling of the situation was excessive and caused harm to the prisoners. Therefore, he will not be compensated or held accountable for his negligence."

Do either of you have any objections to this verdict?

Before the two could speak, the judge continued, "If there is no such thing, execute the judgment immediately; if there is, please swallow it and then execute the judgment!"

After listening to the judge's entire speech, the two exchanged a glance and then went their separate ways.

"Bang!"

After the door closed, the room fell silent for a few minutes, then the Ice Beauty's silvery voice filled the air.

"Speak! What do you want from me this time?"

Upon hearing the Ice Beauty's words, His Majesty the Emperor's face instantly turned serious.

"I'll be going on a very difficult mission soon, so I won't be able to see you for a while. Please take good care of yourself!"

"Heh! You pervert, aren't you being a bit too narcissistic?"

"Hmph! You're right!"

Just as His Majesty the Emperor was about to leave the room, the Ice Beauty suddenly turned her head and whispered, "Thank you!"

"Are you kidding me? I've helped you so much, how can just two words be enough? You should at least repay me with your body!"

"Call out!"

A whooshing sound rang out, and then the pervert was sent out of the room by a high-speed flying ice spike, disappearing into the distance.

"You pervert! I was finally getting serious, and you had to come out and ruin the mood. You deserve a beating!"

After speaking, the Ice Beauty tightened her bathrobe and walked towards the bedroom behind her.
