Re Zero DMMS 107 (Patreon)

Emilia looked at the two people in front of her, and for some reason, a certain part of her mind throbbed faintly.

Why does my head hurt so much? Why do I feel like their faces are so familiar?

She clutched her head tightly, feeling the world spinning around her.

Under the intense stimulation, her sealed memories began to show signs of breaking through.

Sensing this, Puck suddenly turned his head. His face turned ferocious, and an extremely icy aura exploded around his body.

Lia is actually awakening her memories at this critical moment. She must absolutely not be obstructed.

Just in the next second, the icy aura spreading around him suddenly stopped growing, unable to advance any further no matter what, as if firmly locked down by something.

Puck's expression froze.

Dammit! I can't burst out with power!

Because he had formed a contract with Emilia, he could not possess the power of his true body. At present, this could at best be considered one of his avatars.

As for Emilia, although she possessed the largest mana reserves in the entire world, because of her contract with Puck, her magic output was heavily restricted, and the effects of various spells were diminished as a result.

Therefore, Puck and Emilia were practically a 1+1 < 1 combination. After two powerful beings signed a contract, they became utterly useless.

At that moment, looking at Emilia crouching down while clutching her head and Puck ready for battle, Regulus grew somewhat impatient.

"I'm telling you! I've long wanted to beat you two to a pulp. If it weren't for the fact that my merciful, lovely, beautiful, and kind wife was willing to give you a chance to escape, would you still be here insulting my eyes right now?"

"It seems that you don't cherish the opportunity given to you by my beautiful, kind, merciful, and lovely wife at all. Since that's the case, how could fellows like you deserve to feel the existence of love, and why should you let my wife intercede for you? You should just die!"

The air in front of him was stirred, turning into formless air slashes that could cut through everything, surging fiercely toward Emilia.

Even though she had already perceived the arrival of danger, the intense pain in her head made Emilia temporarily unable to fight back.

"Lia!!!"

Puck roared, bursting forth with formidable mana. Thick ice walls rapidly formed in front of Emilia, and magic circles began to quickly outline themselves mid-air.

Bang!

The first ice wall shattered without any suspense. The formless air slash didn't even pause at all before continuing to rush forward.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In an instant, dozens of ice walls were completely destroyed. Amidst the flying ice shards all over the sky, Emilia wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

Her eyes landed on Puck, whose face was filled with panic, and her lips moved slightly.

Puck understood. Having lived together for many years, he understood Emilia's final words.

I'm sorry.

Warm blood mixed with ice shards scattered in mid-air. Puck hovered stiffly in place, watching Emilia cut in half.

At this moment, an ice storm spread across dozens of kilometers around them.

Countless memories flashed through his mind, ultimately turning into only two rows of tears.

Puck dissipated into points of light, and a roaring loud noise echoed throughout the entire forest.

The originally weak Puck vanished, replaced by a massive Beast of the End towering over tens of meters high. Blizzards and hail covered more than ten kilometers at this moment, and the temperature plummeted to minus one hundred degrees Celsius, enough to freeze almost all existence to death.

Amidst the surging ice and snow, a pair of giant pupils flickering with yellow light stared fixedly at the two people below, his voice containing ultimate pain and madness.

"Pandora... Regulus! You must be buried with Lia!!!"

The coldness, which was enough to cause countless living beings to die as a result, could not cause any effect on the two people below.

Pandora was continuously shrouded by the Power of Causality, and none of the freezing cold could affect her body.

"Puck, why be angry? Even though Emilia-san has passed away, the connection of love between you will not disappear. This is the great love that everyone possesses, love is eternal."

Accompanied by Pandora's speech, Regulus pointed at Puck, arrogantly extending his hand.

"I'm telling you! I didn't expect you to be a big furry. That woman died so she died, who asked her to copy my wife? Young females with white hair in this world can only and must only be my wife alone. Why should that woman have my wife's privileges? She deserved to die, you know."

Facing the taunts of the two, the reason that had been clouded by anger gradually recovered, and Puck suddenly realized a fact.

"Why would it be like this?"

Although he didn't know what exactly was inside the seal of this forest, Puck knew deep down that Emilia was definitely the key to opening the seal.

A hundred years ago, Pandora didn't dare to kill Emilia. Now, why did she order Regulus to kill Emilia?

Facing Puck's question, Pandora had no desire to explain it to him.

"Honey, kill him."

Receiving the order, Regulus laughed loudly and stepped forward two steps, grabbing the surrounding air and wildly waving it around.

"Alrighty, wife. Everything I have belongs to my wife."

Puck's pupils constricted. A huge iceberg with a diameter exceeding hundreds of meters descended from the sky. The massive shadow enveloped Pandora and Regulus.

Boom, boom, boom!

Ice shards and debris flew everywhere, suppressing them.

"Still not enough... Still not enough! I need more!"

Puck's mana surged wildly, desperately bursting forth with his strongest power.

At the same time, hundreds and thousands of icebergs of the same size emerged above the sky.

The sky, the surface, and the air were filled with countless icicles, which were continuously shot out.
