Chapter 1515: 301

"Ah, last words, huh?" Nellie didn’t mind describing herself in such a manner. In her consciousness, death was nothing to be afraid of. For a steadfast knight, death was like a destination, as well as the end of a journey—signifying that the knight could finally lay down all burdens, tossing aside the mission and honor carried upon their shoulders, to rest quietly and completely. Therefore, the more resolute the knight, the more calm and composed they were in the face of death. Just like Nellie, who could smile at Pannis and say, "This is the first time I leave last words. It’s really interesting. Last time, I didn’t get the chance to leave any; this time, I must make up for it. Hmm, let me think about what to leave behind."

"You..." Pannis, originally with a somber expression, now found his mouth involuntarily twisted to one side, speaking feebly, "Why aren’t you worried that you don’t have much time left? How can you still joke at a time like this?"

"Because I’m happy. You finally accepted my whims, and my plan can finally be realized." Nellie’s smile was relaxed as she said leisurely, "Having reached the final step, I’m not in a rush over these few minutes of delay. Danacus won’t be able to break through my suppression in a matter of minutes, so I can think about what last words to leave in peace."

"Sigh, alright, you succeeded." Pannis, maintaining his bow-drawing pose, now could neither shoot nor lower his arrow, awkwardly holding his position, said helplessly, "You’ve successfully dispelled the heaviness in my heart, though the method is hardly praiseworthy. But after your interference, I suddenly feel much more at ease."

"Hehe, I wasn’t causing trouble; I’ve been speaking very seriously," Nellie chuckled foolishly, proudly saying, "I know you too well; ruining your mood is just too easy. But really, Kyle, you don’t need to feel sad for me. This is my choice, my expectation—we should be happy."

"I know, I know. It’s one thing to be aware, but another to act on it," Pannis said with a wry smile. "I understand everything you say, but to personally kill the one I love most is still something hard to accept."

"Don’t worry, time will heal all wounds," Nellie said softly with a faint smile. "You will live through endless years, and one day, you will forget the knight who forced others into distress, forget the person who once occupied a place in your life. Then, you will face a new life, viewing the world from another perspective."

"Perhaps you’re right, yet I do not look forward to it," Pannis shook his head, saying softly, "I will try my best to always remember you. Of course, I also know it’s not realistic, but I will do my utmost to etch you in my heart, until the passing of eons forces me to forget you."

"Ah, there’s nothing I can do to stop you, and honestly, I’m somewhat gleeful inside; I don’t really want to stop you. Consider it the last time you satisfy my vanity," Nellie said, covering her mouth with a light laugh. "Alright, you no longer look as pained as before, as if you could join me at any time. Now I can rest assured. I don’t hope for your company on this journey. The World of the Dead still needs your protection; otherwise, an unclaimed Divinity will ultimately seek out a new master on its own. If it finds someone like Danacus, then all our efforts will have been in vain."

"Rest assured, I am aware of my responsibilities and know what I must do," Pannis said sternly. "I won’t give up my duties so easily."

"Very well, now my last bit of worry has vanished," Nellie nodded with satisfaction and said, "So, it’s time to speak some last words. First of all, I’m honored. Although many Deities have fallen since the end of the First Epoch, they were all killed by other Deities. There has not been a case where a mortal, through their own power, managed to kill a Deity, and we are the first to do so. I’ve critically wounded a main Deity, and in the end, I’m taking him down with me to death. This unique achievement is my greatest honor. So, I feel very privileged to have had this opportunity, it’s really wonderful. Secondly, I want to thank you. Since we fell in love, you’ve been accommodating me, helping me, always standing firmly by my side, shouldering everything with your own shoulders, even now, though separated by a century, I simply showed a slight intention of seeking help, and you spared no effort to come to my side, once again taking up everything for me, even willing to endure the pain of killing me with your own hands. Your love for me, your affection, I’ve truly received it. I’m sorry I have no chance to repay you. Let the Divine Power of Death be my last gift to you."

"What a luxurious gift," Pannis said with a hoarse voice, "Too bad, I don’t want this gift at all."

"But it’s your responsibility, the responsibility I’m entrusting to you," Nellie said with a smile. "Your nature is not fundamentally opposed to the Divine Power of Death, so naturally, after Danacus and I die, you will inherit the theocracy. I hope you continue my plans, treat those children well, they are already very unfortunate, I hope you can give them a bright future and a happy life. Ah, I shouldn’t be saying such silly things, with your capabilities and intellect, surely you’ll do much better than I did."

"I’ll take care of them like an idiot," Pannis’s mouth twitched, his throat choked up: "just as dumb as their original goddess."

"You’re calling me an idiot again, but forget it, I’m actually happy to hear it, so I won’t hold it against you," Nellie pouted, about to say something, but suddenly, her brows furrowed tightly together, the muscles on her face twitching. She half-knelt on the ground until after a few seconds, she stood up again, her face pale as she barely maintained a smile and said, "You see, there really isn’t much time left."

"Danacus?" Pannis asked with narrowed eyes, "Is he starting again?"

"It’s more like he never stopped," Nellie struggled to say. "He seems to know he’s at the end of his path, and he’s struggling with all his might. This time he almost succeeded, unfortunately, he was just a bit short. But, it seems there’s no time for much more talking, the moment of farewell has arrived. Go ahead, you know what to do, and be very careful not to take his dying counterattack lightly."

"I know what to do." Knowing there was no room for hesitation anymore, Pannis finally drew the Bow of Release to its limit, aiming at Nellie’s heart. His hands were still steady, but his face had turned deathly pale. Blood Offering dripped from his bitten lip as he softly said in a gentle voice, "Thank you for the years of companionship, I love you, my beloved."

"I love you too, Kyle," Nellie’s smile was tender and sweet as she replied softly, "Goodbye, my
