Chapter 309 Do You Believe In Happy Endings? [Part 3]
"Zion, what's going on?" Alessia asked her son while subtly eyeing the Laplace Demon anxiously.
Frankly, no Wanderer would like to meet the right-hand man of The One, for his appearance didn't always mean good news.
Most of the time, meeting him meant tragedy. The usual reason why he'd summon Wanderers into his space was to give them missions that they didn't have the option to refuse.
These missions were extremely difficult, and most of the time, those who were chosen would perish in their attempt to clear it.
No one really knew what these missions were, but one thing was certain. Meeting the Laplace Demon was something that most Wanderers didn't want to experience in their lifetime.
"Mother, Shasha, please listen to me," Thirteen said. "I want to save this girl, and for that, I will need both of your help."
As if waiting for that moment, the Laplace Demon snapped his finger, and a Dimensional Gate appeared on Thirteen's right side, showing a person on the other side of it.
"Zion?" Gerald looked at his son from the other side of the Gate in surprise.
He was currently preparing to craft something in his workshop when the Dimensional Gate appeared giving him a fright.
But, a moment later, his eyes widened in shock when he also saw Alessia and his daughter, Shasha, standing beside his son, who was looking at him with a solemn expression.
"Pops, I need your help," Thirteen stated. "Come here for a while."
Gerald didn't even hesitate and quickly stepped forward to cross the Dimensional Gate, where his family was waiting for him.
Once he crossed to the other side, his gaze hardened upon seeing Laplace Demon, who was standing a few meters away from him with his arms crossed over his chest.
"We don't have much time, so I'll explain everything in a nutshell." Thirteen then started to tell his family what he planned to do, making his parents, and his sister, look at him in disbelief.
"So, are you willing to help me?" Thirteen asked.
Alessia and Gerald glanced at each other before nodding their heads at the same time.
""We're willing.""
The ten-year-old sighed internally because he managed to cross the biggest hurdle. If Alessia and Gerald refused, he would have to think of another way to put an end to this tragic story.
"Please unfreeze time for Uncle Boo and Albion," Thirteen said softly.
Laplace Demon nodded, and the two monsters had been freed from the frozen time.
As if nothing had changed, the two monsters still continued to cry, with Uncle Boo wailing as if his time didn't freeze in the first place.
Seeing this, Alessia clenched her fists. Just with how they were crying, she could tell how much these two beings cared for the girl, whose wrinkled body looked like it belonged to an old woman about to breathe her last.
"Do it," Uncle Boo wiped the tears in his eyes before holding Callie's hand.
Shasha nodded and took out her sword.
Uncle Boo stood up and nodded his head at the teenage girl, who was about to take his life.
Lowering his resistance to the fullest, Uncle Boo closed his eyes and only hoped that Shasha would make it quick.
Shasha coated her blade with the power of the moonlight and pierced Uncle Boo's chest in one swift and deadly blow.
A purple mist escaped Uncle Boo's body and flew toward the flickering golden flame.
The flame then greedily absorbed the life force of the Beholder, making its flame grow brighter with each passing second.
Albion then gently laid Callie on the ground before standing still.
He didn't say any word, for there was no need to say anything.
Just like what Shasha did to Uncle Boo, Shasha also pierced the Unicorn's chest with her sword.
Albion's life force also flew toward the golden flame, burning brightly.
Laplace Demon waited until Uncle Boo's and Albion's life force had been fully absorbed by the Golden Flame before he made his move.
He touched Callie's head, and a few seconds later, a blue orb of light emerged from her forehead and slowly floated toward the golden flame, merging with it.
When that was done, Laplace Demon pointed his fingers at Thirteen's and Callie's chests, piercing a hole into them.
The ten-year-old's blood flowed toward the golden flame, while Callie's blood flowed toward Thirteen's body.
This process lasted for half a minute before both of their blood stopped flowing.
The younger boy swayed at where he stood, but Shasha was quick enough to catch him.
With his sister supporting her, Thirteen regained his balance. He looked at the golden flame, whose brightness was slowly receding.
Suddenly, from within that golden light, the cry of a baby was heard.
When the light fully disappeared, a newborn baby girl floated towards Alessia, and the latter held her gently in her embrace.
"It's done," Laplace Demon declared before looking at the crying baby girl, who had been born through unnatural means.
He didn't know what kind of fate awaited her in the future, but one thing was certain.
She was no longer the Moon Princess, and she would no longer be forced to dance in the palms of the King of Artem, who was still fuming because he didn't get the chance to descend in Solterra and crush the boy who had gotten in his way.
