VIP Chapter 568: A Surprise Last Will and Testament
“To clear the Death Hall, I need you…”
“To die for me, once.”
After saying this, Will observed the expressions of the three women.
They must be surprised, right?
Even though they had glanced at the letter, perhaps they would still show an unusual “bewilderment”?
Treya would probably agree immediately.
Liya might discuss the possibility with him first.
Iaar would be both scared and worried.
But…
“I see.”
Treya calmly nodded.
“Actually, I didn’t see it clearly. There were too many words, so I only managed to make out the word ‘death’. Hehe…”
Iaar scratched her head.
“Mhm, actually, when I first saw what was written, I thought it was a very creative way of putting it.”
Liya crossed her arms and spoke in agreement.
The performance of the three of them was surprisingly “calm,” as if they had already figured it out naturally.
“You’re all so calm that I don’t even know how to respond. This is about dying once, you know? Dying once is terrifying!”
Will was a bit displeased with their reactions.
He really wanted to see a serious and solemn scene where everyone, with resolve for death, would be crying together!
“We’ve done our research too. Wait, didn’t you teach us the Death Hall data course?”
Liya chuckled.
“Beyond the hundredth floor of the Death Hall, including the final floor, death does not exist.”
Treya added.
“In that case, there’s no way to clear it by simply killing the Emperor.”
Iaar tilted her head.
“So, Will, in the complete letter, Shuna’s intention was…”
“The way to clear it lies within.”
Will spread his hands.
“For the Death Hall, we must first die. Within our respective deaths, we will be able to… obtain the ‘key’ to clearing it.”
Will paused after speaking.
He was waiting for others to ask questions.
“Has anyone tried this method?”
Liya raised her hand. She was, after all, the first to ask about this.
“Only… Shuna. She discovered it when writing this letter, but unfortunately, she no longer belongs to the Adventuring Team, so theoretically, she couldn’t do it.”
“…”
Silence fell upon the assembled group.
“So, next is the more serious part.”
He returned to the state he was in when he announced, “I need you to die for me once,” and surveyed the three women.
“If you are unwilling to ‘die,’ you can withdraw right here. I will not force you, of course. After all, such a method of clearing it is truly… tormenting.”
“This, huh…”
“Mmm…”
“Of course it’s—”
The three women answered in unison:
” ” “No problem.” ” ”
Will smiled.
“Alright, alright, I guessed you wouldn’t refuse.”
“As the most difficult dungeon to clear in the entire world, if it’s just ‘dying once,’ it’s already quite simple.”
“It’s going to hurt, Liya.”
“Do I… look like someone who’s afraid of pain?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Besides, if it weren’t for you, I would have died long ago. So, no problem.”
“Iaar, don’t say such heavy things so happily.”
“Mmm! Sorry, sorry.”
“Actually, in dreams… mmm, it’s not like I haven’t experienced it before. Both pain and death and such.”
“Treya, saying that makes you sound pitiable.”
“However, Will, if it must be this way, you have to accept the ‘little surprise’ we have for you.”
Liya glanced at the other two and grinned mischievously.
“Hmm?”
“No peeking! You’ll know when the time comes~”
…
……….
It was only when the three women, in their “complete state,” stood before Will again that Will finally had the chance to complain about that “little surprise”—
“The surprise you mentioned, it wouldn’t be… a last will and testament, would it?”
Will recalled.
He had originally thought this plan would be executed very “calmly.”
That is, everyone would choose an opportune moment – preferably when Daisianwei thought she had fallen into her trap.
But the result was…
Each of them spoke to Will with such deep affection, as if they were truly about to leave, that by the end, he started to doubt if he had misunderstood something, and if the Death Hall really killed people.
“Ehehe.”
Liya twirled her staff and stuck out her tongue.
“After all, someone pretended to be dead and made us go through several months of heart-wrenching days. It’s only fair to get a little revenge by making you feel terribly sad with our last wills and testaments.”
“Alright, actually, even if you didn’t die. I will always remember you, even until my death, I will remember you in my next life.”
“Hey—”
“Mmm… I even revised it several times…” Iaar seemed a little embarrassed. “Dear, do you like it?”
“From now on, continue to protect me too, Iaar.”
“Mmm!”
“Actually… I can’t be sure if my last will and testament was conveyed. After all, at that time, I should have been half-stepping into the Dreamscape.”
“Then… I heard it. So, as I said, I will see it through to the end.”
“Mm.”
Although the scene was a bit strange.
But Will was now responding to everyone’s “last will and testament,” and stood here, in the posture of “returning.”
*Clap, clap, clap.*
Slow applause came from the ruins where Daisianwei had been thrown by Treya.
“What a touching scene of ‘resurrection and reunion.’ After so much fuss, you had a plan all along…”
Daisianwei’s “thigh” beneath her short skirt seemed to have fractured in this fall. She stood up, but one could see her exposed thigh bone shining palely.
At the same time, her beautiful silver hair was dusty, and the distinct outline of a hole in her head was visible.
Inside the hole was white brain matter.
It was hard to imagine that in such a state, she looked more like a complete corpse than a living person.
“Then all the deaths I ‘tasted’ before were spoiled, like eating a delicacy you thought was delicious, only to get food poisoning the next day. Disgusting.”
Daisianwei uttered a very peculiar metaphor.
As she spoke, she seemed a little dazed.
It was as if this was the first time she had uttered such a “metaphor” herself, a metaphor that seemed to come from something encountered in “real life,” which is why it slipped out.
“So, you get food poisoning too?”
Will was the first to retort.
“Never mind. In any case, I will defeat you.”
Daisianwei manually straightened the bone in her thigh.
She then tidied her hair again.
“Don’t tell me you actually think Shuna found a way to defeat me? If she really had, why would she have died at my hands?”
From behind Daisianwei, her weapon reappeared.
But this time, it didn’t seem to be large “torture instruments.”
As if entering a second phase, behind Daisianwei appeared the blurred forms of various legendary Emperors who had previously appeared in the dungeon.
“Because, to clear this place, relying solely on the method she found alone should not be enough… That’s all.”
Will sighed.
Then, he stepped aside.
“First strike, Liya!”
Before Daisianwei could make a move, she saw Liya aiming a cannon at her forehead.
For her, she didn’t have much habit of “dodging” the enemy’s “attacks.”
Because they couldn’t kill her.
As long as it didn’t hinder her attacks, there was no need to dodge.
But…
In the beam of light from Liya’s regular, super-powered “Brilliant Light, Silent Sound” attack, what she felt was…
Not just…
The “most beautiful pain of death,” but another, an experience she had never felt before…
At three o’clock in the afternoon, warm sunlight shone upon her.
She was lying on the table, just waking up from a short nap. The imprint of her head was still on her arm, her head felt a bit groggy, but her body felt the lightness and comfort after a deep sleep.
A gentle, leisurely afternoon was beginning.
Therefore, she could first feel the warmth of the sunlight.
“This… what is this…”
She looked at the “marks of death” on her body, yet she felt the relaxed afternoon sunlight.
“This is…”
“The feeling of being alive?”
