Chapter 1437: There’s Hope
-----
King Luminous had died.
I didn’t even know how he died at all.
But according to David, he died fighting, he had unleashed all the power of his Heroic Bloodline.
And he ended up slaying dozens of Demonic Wizards, almost all of the ones that remained fighting them even after the Demonic Domain was destroyed.
The reason why he looked a bit younger than before, with long hair and everything was because by unleashing this power and awakening as a hero for that small time, he gained immense power.
Enough to finally put an end to this war aside from defeating Merlinus, and save everyone else that had survived until then, before they were to get killed by the Demonic Beasts and the Demonic Wizards.

He died as a hero, and that only makes his passing the more depressing... I could barely hold my tears, and I ended up crying a bit.
I had barely interacted with this man on very formal occasions, for only a few weeks but... I already felt like I lost a valuable friend.
Above all, I suppose I also cried because I felt sad for Camilla, she really loved him and seeing her like this made me so sad.
However, there was still some hope, with Lady Verdant keeping his body "alive" through her powers, the only thing we need to do is...
Find his soul in the underworld.
Okay maybe it’s not that easy.
"Y-You mean that there’s a way to save my husband?" Camilla asked her. "Really?!"
"Yes, you’ll need a special artifact to bring his soul to the Mortal World, however," explained Verdant. "As you’ve seen already with the many souls purified out of Merlinus’ body, they immediately pass away and disappear, moving towards a different plane."
"S-So that’s how it is..." Camilla cleaned her tears, looking at Verdant as she dissipated. "Would you please help me, Lady Verdant? I will do anything you ask me... But please, tell me what I must do!"
Verdant’s eyes were full of motherly kindness, her gigantic hand tenderly caressed her body, especially her head.
"I get it... Thank you, Verdant. I will go there in the next few days, maybe!"
"Very well, have a good rest, all of you need it. One step at a time, everyone. Don’t hurry things up, take your time. As long as we do things together, we can always push through."
The inspiring words of a goddess filled everyone’s hearts with hope. The many knights and soldiers that lost loved ones glanced at the Goddess while nodding and shedding tears, a few others that had given up despairing regained some of the light in their eyes.
Especially Camilla.
"I happen to be a Necromancer myself," said Camilla. "Do you know how this artifact is conceived, Verdant?"
"I only know a few things," Verdant said. "However, I must go rest for now... Tomorrow, come to me with Planta to the Fey Wilds, I am sure you’re worthy of entering now."
"I see... Thank you for everything," Camilla nodded, smiling. "I never believed in god before but... I guess they are real now, huh?"
"Hahah... I am not as strong as an idealized god but... I always try to help when I can."
Verdant disappeared after saying that, as everything became silent for a moment, we were surrounded by beautiful nature, the sound of birds singing and cicadas resonated as the morning sun rose above the horizon.
"Haah... I’m really tired, and it’s morning already, I think we’ll be logging out for now, Camilla." I said. "I wish I could stay for more but... we need to go to sleep."
"I know," Camilla nodded. "You can go, once you’re back, we can talk about what to do and whatnot."
"Alright, thanks," I nodded.
There were a couple of system messages popping up, but I couldn’t really bother myself to check them right now and save them for tomorrow.
Once we logged out, we placed the VR devices at the side and then slept right away...
What a day...
But why didn’t Camilla log out though?
She should also rest... I hope she’s not pulling all-nighters, that’s unhealthy!
