Slowly opening his eyes from the bed, the first thing Karl saw was the ceiling he had already seen.

It seems that I am not dead.

This was Karl's first reaction when he woke up from a coma, because what he saw was the roof of his room in Olivia's Castle, and he should have returned alive.

"Um?"

When the body's consciousness gradually recovered, Karl suddenly felt that something seemed to be pressing on him. He lowered his head and looked over, and it turned out that it was Ceryl lying on him.

At this time, she intertwined her hands and covered Karl's chest, lying on it with her head sideways, and her smooth white hair spread out on the bed, covering the bed on that side.

There was a bright smile on her beautiful face, and her ruby-like eyes were looking at her quietly.

"woke up?"

Seeing Karl open his eyes, Seliel asked softly.

"Isn't it obvious?"

As he spoke, Karl tried to move his body. Unexpectedly, he was in good condition and could actually move his body relying only on his own strength.

Selyl, who noticed Karl's movements, immediately straightened up, and the white hair all over the bed slid down following her movements.

Then Ceryl left the chair by the window, reached out to support Karl, and helped him sit up half leaning against the head of the bed.

After adjusting his posture, Karl let out a long breath.

Then he began to carefully sort out his previous memories. If he remembered correctly, they were blocked in the corridor by the Judge after they left the Shadow Realm?

Thinking of this, he immediately asked:

"What happened after I fell into coma, and how did the judge deal with it in the end?"

Karl was most concerned about the judge. When he and his group came out, they bumped into her. There was no doubt that the other party was aware of their activities. Judging from the other party's accusations, he didn't know what the final result would be.

"After you fainted, Richard and Olivia rushed over and forced the judge away. Then just submit a report to them."

"That's it."

This result is not bad, at least I didn't wake up in the judge's dungeon.

After listening to Cyril's story, Karl finally understood what happened after he fell into a coma.

He stretched out his hand and touched his chin with great effort, and then continued to speak after a long while:

"By the way, I seemed to see Marcus falling to the ground before I fainted. I must have seen that right, right?"

"I remember he should be fine, right?"

Seliel nodded, confirming his statement first:

"Actually, when you were fighting the skeleton, I was in some trouble. Marcus was already a dead man when he left the Shadow Realm."

"Dead?"

Karl was startled by the news. After a while, he pursed his lips and asked in disbelief.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, do you still remember that shadow beast?"

"That's the one whose leg we cut off, right?"

They saw a total of two shadow beasts in the shadow world. When Cyril spoke at this time, it was unlikely that she was talking about the big guy who was killed by the undead summons.

"Is it still related to it?"

"That's right."

Cyril shrugged and said:

"That guy seems to have been holding a grudge. He attacked me at the last moment of the ceremony. Marcus was killed with one hit and could not be saved."

"..."

Carl was silent.

I didn't expect that something like this would happen at the last minute.

He didn't have a good impression of Marcus, but there was nothing he disliked about him. It really surprised him that a person he just met died like this.

"Look."

Seeing Karl's silence, Cyril bent down and took out something from under the bed, and placed it in front of Karl.

"Meow~~"

A very familiar black cat meowed cutely, and was obediently held up by its neck by Selyl and placed in front of him.

"What...what's going on?"

Isn't this the shadow beast?

He clearly remembered how ferocious this thing was before, and there was quite a lot of enmity between the two parties. Why was it held in Celier's hands like this?

"After killing Marcus, this guy immediately wanted to kill me too, but when it came into contact with me, the ritual was completed."

Cyril kept a sly smile and explained slowly:

"After following me to the real world, it had no choice but to die. It had no choice but to sign a subordination contract with me. Now we can use it as our familiar."

"Is there no danger?"

Rather than any benefits, Karl was more concerned about whether it would bring danger. The terrifying speed and lethality when he was attacked in the Shadow Realm was still fresh in his mind.

"In the real world, it poses no threat at all. It can even be said that if it breaks away from the contract with me, it will die immediately. This is why people try their best to avoid being eroded by the shadow element."

While speaking, Cyril let go of her hand, and the black cat immediately ran back under the bed as soon as it landed. It seemed that it didn't like the light in the room, and it liked the dark under the bed even more.

"Although he has no fighting power, this guy has a good IQ and doesn't need to be fed. He can be used to deliver letters and monitor anything."

"If you want, you can teach it to write."

"I see."

Now I have a personal postman and can occasionally work as a part-time assistant.

"Before you..."

Snap!

"Mr. Karl, you're awake!"

Before Karl Xin asked the question, there was the sound of something falling on the ground at the door.

I looked over and saw that the maid Nina was coming with a basin.

She was so surprised when she saw Karl waking up that she couldn't even hold the basin in her hand and just fell to the ground.

"Good morning, Nina."

Karl greeted her with a smile and waved his hand.

"How are you feeling? Do you need anything? Do you want me to inform the lady now?"

Stepping over the water basin thrown on the ground, Nina ran over excitedly, greeting Karl continuously.

"Karl is awake now, don't worry."

After all, Nina has been serving them for a while, so Cyril's attitude towards her is not too cold. Seeing Nina's excitement, this guy rarely took the initiative to reply to her.

"If you can, please give me something to eat. I'm still a little hungry."

Although he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, the hunger sensation coming from his stomach was not deceptive. He had been lying down for at least a day and was now hungry.

"Okay, I'll go notify the kitchen right away."

With that said, Nina returned to the door and picked up the basin:

"You must not move, I will inform the lady."

After saying that, she left here, and the sound of Nina running in the corridor became smaller and smaller.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

Turning his head and looking at Ceryl, Karl asked.

"Two days, to be precise, two days and one night."
Chapter completed!
