MTLNOVEL Chapter 327 He is dead
I've never liked entering my soul sea. It's empty and desolate; you can't see anything but an endless white void, like snow. If you walk in a straight line, you'll never stop, as if this place is truly infinite. I feel very lonely here, sad, and every time I enter, guilt overwhelms me, like a terrible reminder of my selfish decisions that led to my parents' deaths—a terrible nightmare that strikes my heart and my mind. That's why I hate my soul sea so much. It's empty, lonely, full of solitude, full of sadness, and a memory that seems like it will never fade.
A white void... that's my soul sea. If I turn around, there's a big black hole that seems to be slowly devouring my soul... it's always been there since the first time I entered my soul sea. I saw it, a great black hole. I feel empty, perhaps for that reason—something I can't understand or feel. I feel nothing when I approach it, as if it never existed... yet, for some reason, I felt very drawn to look at the enormous black hole...
Walking, I reach the precipice. Before, I could see nothing but a deep abyss, but now... there's a small light as tiny as I am... Sitting down, I'm unsure of what I should do. My heart simply wants to let go and be consumed.
"You must go down," a subtle voice came from behind... Turning toward the voice, my eyes widen... standing clumsily, I bow my head: "What does Your Excellency mean?" The woman in front of me was the Saint of the Empire... I was surprised to see her in my soul sea...
"Guiding you," she said with a warm smile... "You must jump into this abyss to begin the process." With those words, the figure of the Saint faded away...
In silence, I look again at the great void... I'm afraid, my legs start trembling. Down there is a reality I don't want to accept, and I'm scared of the outcome. I'm afraid of what I might see down there. The small light that appeared makes my heart race, and cold sweat runs down my back... but unlike the previous times I've come to this place that makes me unable to feel any emotion, now it produces fear...

Sighing deeply, I clench my fists... and try to regain control of my mind... I can't keep running away from myself. I need to take control again, with a single objective in mind... the fear started to fade, and bloodlust began to take over... after all, I swore to myself I would kill the bastards who took my mother's life...
"Whether it was your fault or not, you must move forward," giving myself words of encouragement... I close my eyes... seconds later, I open them again...
Taking a step forward...
*Floshh!!*
The wind hit my face... the darkness of the place began to consume me... looking further down... beyond the mist...
*Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!*
My body crashes into a fine crystal, the crystal shattered into a thousand pieces... the fragments fell into the void in front of me...
"What the hell is this place?" I was in shock...
A vast void with shining points, but the most striking were the enormous crystal fragments floating around the space. The fragments seemed infinite—even as far as my eyes could see, I could see hundreds of fragments... suddenly, a great light exploded in this place... my vision changed again...

"What do you mean he's dead?" Emily frowned, her ruby-like red eyes glowing as she watched Angela give a grand closing speech for the first year...
"He'll definitely be dead," Alicia sighed and shook her head. "I didn't expect the professor to take him... Who knows what she's doing to him..." Alicia's body trembled violently; she knew firsthand how cruel the professor could be. She knows it very well, after all, it was ingrained in her body during training... she let out another sigh, hoping they'd punish him but not to the point of killing him...
"Didn't you see?! That crazy woman was definitely smiling! Your brother is dead, Emily!" Adelaide shook her head firmly as if saying they should prepare for the funeral...
"I hope he's okay..." Stephanie clasped her hands as if praying to the gods for Anthony's safety... closing her eyes, her body trembled too... when the professor took her to learn to control her strength, she lived through hell itself!! No! It was much worse than hell: "Ugh..." Stephanie let out a groan as cold sweat ran down her face...
Persephone patted her friend's back, looking at her with pity... "Don't you think you're exaggerating? I don't think she'll kill him... or will she?" Persephone's gaze wavered...
"It's very likely, after all, we all saw what he was wearing, a pajama? And the look of confusion in his eyes... I'm sure he forgot today was an important day..." Eleanor crossed her arms...
"Hehehe, you're right," Charlotte nodded with a laugh on her lips...
All the girls looked at her strangely. Now they realized that Charlotte was the relaxed one, and she was supposed to be the most worried about Anthony...
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Charlotte frowned when she noticed the multiple strange looks directed at her... she was confused about suddenly becoming the center of attention...
"Why aren't you worried?" Alicia cautiously approached while asking the question...
Charlotte tilted her head, even more confused: "What are you talking about?"
"About Anthony's situation! The professor could kill him for forgetting to attend the ceremony!" Stephanie said with a worried voice as her lips trembled with fear...
"Eh..." Charlotte shook her head: "He'll be fine, don't worry about it," she shrugged indifferently...
"Woah," Alicia's mouth dropped open at Charlotte's carefree attitude: "Did they have a fight?" she wondered to herself... seeing how the others were as stunned as she was, she sighed again... shook her head, and looked toward Angela... she had just finished her speech and started walking toward them... with a smile, Alicia gave her a thumbs up: "Good speech!"
Angela's eyes moved as if searching for someone in particular... "I think today will definitely be his last day," she said sadly, as if Anthony were already dead...
The other girls fell silent again...
