Heading to the Other Side

His head rolled away, revealing an expression of shock and horror. In the end, he didn't realize that he had been killed. Xue Yue looked down at him, grabbing his head and body to bring back. She dragged the corpse along the ground, slowly making her way back.

With the black water receding, the demons and the craftsmen looked in the direction it came from. 

"What happened?"

They heard Ming Yue's steps, quiet but firm, as she appeared with the dead demon. 

Her armor had reverted to the robes, slowly repairing itself and cleaning the blood off. Still, it did not do away with the blood and injury on her body, more so the blood on her face. She walked towards Guardian's Keep with the dead demon in her hands, ignoring the other demons who looked at their leader in shock. 

"The Tide King is dead?"

"Our leader died to a human?"

"What do we do now?"

"Retreat, retreat! Run back to the ships!"
