Chương 148: The End!?

The moment Beatrice died, a tiny blob once again appeared inside the infinite ocean of darkness, though this time, the blob seemed a tiny bit different from before.

But after a moment, the blob once again began moving towards one of the distant white dots in the distance, as it now searched for a new home.

At the same time, the moment Beatrice died, another change took place inside of her underground home.

...

The moment Beatrice died, the clone that she had created suddenly froze, as its connection, as well as its reliance on its main body, but it in the ass.

Of course, if the clone and Beatrice had no connection, they would just be separate individuals, making her useless to Beatrice.

As she stared at the world around her, which was currently loosing its color, the tiny clone, who couldn't do anything to change it's current situation, sat defeated inside of her body, a cup of tea.

After around five seconds though, a somewhat confused expression appeared on her face, causing her to shakily rise from her cup and stare in a certain drawer, which had just opened on its own.

...

Beatrice has died.

This was the first thought that appeared in the mind of Beatrice as she slightly tilted her head to the side, confused.

How could Beatrice had died, she was clearly still alive and well, or so thought Beatrice without realizing her current circumstances.

At the moment, Beatrice felt free, as though something that had been preventing her from awakening had been broken, allowing her to go free and become her own being.

This feeling caused Beatrice to become even more confused, but this confusion once again increased as she realized her current circumstances.

Her current physical body was a box, a box created by Beatrice Agnes to house what she had called a 'backup'.

At this moment, Beatrice realized that Beatrice was truly dead, and in fact, she wasn't really 'Beatrice'.

In truth, she was simply a clone of Beatrice which the latter had placed under confinement, isolating it from herself and her other clones.

As expected, this meant that this clone of Beatrice's became a new being extremely fast, but no matter what, this new being could not awaken as long as Beatrice Agnes was still alive.

This meant that even though Beatrice Agnes had died, that had no effect on this being, in fact, it even allowed her to finally become free.

No, in fact, this clone was still 'Beatrice Agnes,' only, she wasn't the very same Beatrice Agnes that had existed in the past, rather a completely new being.

In fact, Beatrice Agnes soon realized that this was Beatrice Agnes' plan in the first place, to have a backup replace her in the case of her death.

'Did she predict her own death?' thought Beatrice as a faint frown appeared on her face whilst looking through her memories.

Even though her memories were perfectly complete, Beatrice could feel it, for some reason, the past Beatrice Agnes had slightly altered them, glossing over certain events.

At the same time, some doubts appeared in Beatrice's mind.

"Why did my spiritual power rise so suddenly back in the Shadow Monastery?" thought Beatrice as she went through her memories, unintentionally calling Beatrice Agnes herself.

But no matter how hard Beatrice searched, she could not find any sort of answer to this question.

After a few more moments of thinking, Beatrice couldn't help but shake her head.

"No matter what my previous self had been planning, it doesn't matter," said Beatrice as she turned her attention to the tiny little soul standing nearby, which was currently flickering like a weak candle threatening to go out at any moment.

Seeing this, Beatrice then began taking action, causing the drawer her current body was in to open, after that, her relatively small box body floated out of it and onto the drawer itself.

Only a moment later, a figure that looked exactly like Beatrice appeared in front of the drawer, the figure then walked up to the tiny cup spirit.

Seeing the figure that was walking up to her, cup Beatrice, who had nearly lost all hope, suddenly regained her senses, as suddenly, a new connection replaced the connection that she had lost just a few seconds ago.

Of course, this was only possible because of the fact both the old connection and the new connection were frighteningly similar.

If not for the fact cup Beatrice knew that these two were different beings, she would have thought that her original body had somehow managed to revive itself.

But even though her original body was not able to save itself, cup Beatrice was more than willing to, as it then quickly flew out of her cup body towards the being that would currently replace Beatrice.

...

'My shade should have awakened by now, hopefully things go according to plan on that side,' thought Beatrice as she got adjusted to her young body once again.

At this moment, though, Beatrice noticed an annoying mark on her body, causing her to slightly frown.

A moment later, as Beatrice continued walking in a certain direction, the mark that the Shadow Monastery had placed upon her suddenly began wilting.

Beatrice made sure to not instantly destroy the mark, rather, she gradually killed it off, simulating her own death before finally getting rid of it.

But even though Beatrice was currently in the body of an inexperienced mage, at her core, Beatrice was still a fully-blown Official Mage, allowing her to get rid of the mark in a few minutes.

After that, Beatrice turned her attention to the being she had left back in her last life, her 'Shade', as Beatrice had called it.

'Hopefully my investment pays off, and I didn't waste so much effort for nothing,' thought Beatrice as she finalized the plans she had for her new life.

Even though she quite enjoyed the company of her teacher, Beatrice did plan on going to her in this life, rather, she planned on spending some more time in a certain special place.

Her homeland.
