The Tale of the Void Emperor

Seeing Lily's reaction, Urkal and Argajin were confused and doubtful as they started conversing while staying cautious.

'What's going on? Why is she behaving like that? Her reaction is like it's the first time she killed someone,' Urkal said with a frown.

'Her appearance...she just seems very young, but we thought that she is an old powerhouse with a youthful appearance. However...from her reaction and behavior, that doesn't seem to be the case,' Argajin speculated.

'But such a young Spirit Ruler seems unrealistic,' Urkal frowned.

"Y-you...I didn't mean to kill him," Lily spoke with some sadness, "Does he have any family? I-I...what to do?"

Lily was shaken a bit because since that man was a middle-aged man, he was sure to have a wife and kids, and now that they lost him, they will become so sad. This had a greater impact because she was the one who killed the man.

Even in this place, she only killed wild beasts that attacked her first.

Inside the Ark, Mimi, Lucky, Lucent, and others gathered and talked.

"That's the first kill of sister Lily," Mimi spoke with a serious expression, "it seems that she is a bit shaken."

"Nyaa! But it's okay to kill. After all, they don't look like good guys," Lucky spoke.

DeathKnight thought for a moment and said, "Let's tell her to ask those two guys about why they were here. Lily is not able to sense malicious intent from them, but I can do that, and they are definitely here to do something very bad."

"But will they honestly say it?" Lucent doubted.

"Let's observe for now and see what those two do. They have already noticed Lily's behavior and are thinking of something," Skylord spoke as the dragon in tiny form looked through the cloudly screen.

...

Urkal and Argajin decided to speak to Lily, and although they found out that things seemed absurd with how young Lily was despite being Spirit Ruler, they had no choice but to take this chance.

'Why don't we run now instead? With how she is right now, she wouldn't chase us,' Argajin suggested because he felt that Urkal plan was reckless.

'No! She looks guilty, so we should use it and let her help us in our plan. Naturally, we won't reveal that our plan's result will be a large massacre,' Urkal said with a wicked gleam in his eyes.

"Young lady, he indeed has a family of a wife and three kids. But now that you have killed him, they have lost a pillar of their family," Urkal spoke while shaking his head.

"But I...I didn't mean to kill him," Lily uttered with guilt. She just wanted to slap the man for cursing her and teach him some lesson by inflicting some pain, that's all. She wouldn't kill someone just because someone cursed her.

This didn't make her seem any different than Lanry, who killed Athan on his whims.

She was aware that she didn't mean to kill him, but what's done had been done, and she couldn't revive someone. However, precisely because of that, she was in a dilemma.

She looked down and waved her hand as she created a field of space-time that encompassed a hundred meters around her from top to ground and reversed the time in that field.

The dead body rose to the sky, and his crushed head recovered as well, but...he was still dead.

"Lady, that will not work. Time rule power can only affect things without soul. And although his body is soulless, His soul has departed to the river of souls, and it won't come back even if you use your time rule power," Urkal spoke while shaking his head.

The two of them were not affected by time-reversal as well.

"To affect things with soul, you need to master Time law. However, even with that, you can't revive someone whose soul has been taken by the river of soul or destroyed."

Lily became distressed. She waved her hand as the body of Hurak floated towards Urkal, "At least, take this body since he is your companion. But for his d-death..."

"Lady, how about you help us a little? We were here to find some valuable plants, and we three came together since the place we are going is very dangerous," Urkal sighed.

"But now that Hurak is dead, we will have some difficulty because the plants we need are inside a slumbering beast who has recently entered Spirit Law king grade, and Hurak and I were supposed to hold it off while Argajin takes out the plant from its large underground cave," Urkal finished speaking as he started shaking his head with sadness.

Argajin bit the bullet and extended the story, "We needed those plants to save his daughter who is inflicted with a curse by a despicable law king who had mastered curse law. Since only he can remove the curse, he demands valuable items, and this time, he asked about those plants and even revealed its location to us."

Hearing all that, Lily nodded, "I can at least hel-"

"Nyaaa! I can't watch anymore. Come out, DeathKnight," Lucky appeared as the cute cat sat down on Lily's shoulder.

A second later, DeathKnight also appeared.

Seeing DeathKnight, who had a dark furry lower body of a dreadful dark horse and upper body of a humanoid covered in black armor with a dark aura, Urkal and Aragjin almost pissed their pants.

They were scared shitless because the pressure released by DeathKnight was so high that they didn't even feel it from a Spirit Law king before. They felt that this entity in front of them could kill them in less than a second if it wished so.

DeathKnight didn't waste time as he spoke in a deep, dark tone, "Speak up! What is your true purpose for coming here?!"

DeathKnight's eyes shined with a mystical white glow as both Urkal and Aragjin became mindless with blank gazes and started speaking.

First, Aragjin spoke blankly, with a soulless gaze, "We are here to execute our plan to destroy Dream Palace once and for all so that we can take full control of this planet."

Lily was shocked, but that was just the start as Urkal started speaking next.

"We plan to awaken slumbering spirit law king grade beast, which will cause all beasts here to become frenzied. After that, I will use a special artifact from my king to make all beasts extremely bloodthirsty and mindless before luring the spirit law king grade beast and other beasts using Heavenly Law Chicken beast's meat towards the Dream Palace," Urkal spoke blankly.

Argajin nodded blankly, "The large beast tide will destroy everything in their path, and that Huarin also can't escape her death. After the tragedy, I will take everything under me and supply human resources to the Koura Kingdom as per our deal."

Hearing that extremely devastating plan, all veins on Lily's forehead were about to burst. Her breathing was ragged and her eyes were unstable.

She couldn't imagine how they could think of such a plan. Such a large beast tide will kill tens of millions of people on the way before the beast tides reach Dream palace!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...," Lily screamed before she waved her hand and used her full power as she released intense flames to burn them to death.

Both of them screamed for a few moments before they were no more.

Lily entirely erased their trace as well.
