Heidel's Funeral and Liliana's Intention

The once-radiant sky gradually dimmed, shrouded in darkness as life-giving rain began to fall, its rhythm punctuated by the thunderous roar of lightning.

Far beyond the outer palace lay a sacred and hallowed ground, revered by the entire demon race—the Land of Eternity. It served as the final resting place for demon emperors who had fallen to the blades of past heroes.

Under ordinary circumstances, Liliana, the current Demon Emperor, strictly forbade entry to this sacred ground without her explicit permission.

Yet now, more than twenty figures stood solemnly before a newly constructed tomb. Among them were Liliana, Lyra, three Arch-demons, demon generals, and other high-ranking members of the demon race.

Liliana's gaze lingered on Heidel's tomb, her expression a mixture of sorrow and complexity.

"Heidel, I have fulfilled your wish. May you find peace at last," she murmured, her head bowed.
