Chapter 607 - 539: The Decline of the Rose_2
Withered Rose said to Amberser, "This is the fate of the Undead, isn’t it? Never being satisfied, thus always tormented. Once desires are fulfilled, it’s the time when Undead vanish completely. No matter what, I’m glad my last wish was about you. Now that I see you have been resurrected, I have no regrets anymore."
Once, Withered Rose only wanted to destroy the Laine Empire, but for countless years she was powerless, failing over and over. It was Amberser who helped her fulfill this wish, and at that time, Amberser became deeply bound to this desire for destruction.
When the Royal Family of Laine was completely doomed and the Laine Empire was on the verge of collapse, Withered Rose found herself unconsciously placing Amberser on an equally important pedestal.
Next, her desire turned to resurrecting Amberser.
Withered Rose wasn’t sure whether this kind of transformation of desires was unique or something a Lich could typically do, but she was now satisfied. A sense of fulfillment she had never experienced before filled her soul. The fatigue from holding on until now surged up, making Withered Rose just want to sleep deeply, wanting nothing more.
Amberser, looking at the smiling Withered Rose, firmly said, "But this is not true satisfaction. This is merely evading other possibilities, placing the soul on a fragile support. Once that support is removed, it shatters into pieces all over the ground, then calling it the end of art. Lady Rose, we are both legends, and our lives should not end like this."
Withered Rose calmly responded, "Although I feel good now, I am willing to trust your judgment, you are always right... But what will you do? Do you understand what it means to prevent an Undead from meeting their end?"
Amberser smiled and said, "It means I have created a miracle once again."
Amberser reached out, took off the Clown Mask from his face, and sent it beyond the Magic Mirror.
"Put on this mask, Lady Rose, it will delay things for a few days, enough for me to find a solution!"
