Chapter 87: The Shattered Hearts of Snow Sky-Dog and Seraphina Frostwind

While Snow Sky-Dog was immersed in the cozy ambiance of a romantic rendezvous with Seraphina Frostwind, Mizuchi Haruka was wandering in a lonely place in the Human World with a bewildered mind. Her state of mind was akin to her draping herself in heavy armor; suddenly, Snow Sky-Dog received an extremely peculiar gaze, a gaze that bore the foreboding of misfortune for him. That gaze belonged to Seraphina Frostwind - it was a gaze tinged with a hint of sorrow and aimlessness, like that of a wanderer, taking slow and hesitant steps along a path under the increasingly rainy autumn sky, unwilling to seek shelter even though holding an umbrella.

"Snow Sky-Dog, the one I love with all the sincere and pure feelings of my first love, I have something I desperately need to ask you right now! You must tell me the truth!"

"Very well, I am prepared to reveal all the truth you seek, for you are also the one I love with all the sincere and pure feelings of my first love, Seraphina Frostwind!"

"Even if that truth might make you regret, Snow Sky-Dog?"

"Even so, I will still tell you the truth, Seraphina Frostwind!"

Seraphina Frostwind suddenly turned strangely solemn, with a hint of frightening seriousness lurking in her demeanor after shifting her emotional state throughout this romantic rendezvous.

"Yesterday, a goddess named Rainbow Goddess Aurora came to my humble oakwood house. She said she wanted to help me with something very important to me. And she revealed a very important secret about you, Snow Sky-Dog!"

"What secret is that, Seraphina Frostwind, my beloved?" Snow Sky-Dog felt a bit uneasy, yet fundamentally maintained composure upon hearing Seraphina Frostwind's words. But he didn't know that the ensuing developments would be a catastrophe for him, a catastrophe he would find difficult to face and resolve satisfactorily.

Seraphina Frostwind grew furious, her eyes containing a sea of hellfire. She threw the glass that Snow Sky-Dog was using to drink wine. The glass shattered into pieces, followed by Seraphina Frostwind's voice ringing out chillingly as a bell tolling the summoning of souls to the hall of the lord Hades.

"Snow Sky-Dog, do not call me 'my love'! I do not love a man as despicable as you. I truly once loved you and was infatuated, though I hate to admit it, but up to this moment, my love for you has not ended, even when you are such a despicable man! Your wretchedness is no less than that of the man who once flew into a rage when he approached me for nefarious purposes, 'Steel Dragon' Ryujin Tetsu! If 'Steel Dragon' Ryujin Tetsu arranged to defeat the bandits to impress me for sinister purposes, then your defeating the bandits in front of me and making me see you as the hero of my life is not coincidental, Snow Sky-Dog! Your love for me is because of your master's orders. You approached me not out of love, but for other purposes. You treat me well, firstly because you want to compensate me out of guilt, and secondly because it is also part of your plan. You see me as a tool for you to fulfill the task of collecting the 8 lost magical items assigned by your master! I am truly disappointed and pained by your despicable character, Snow Sky-Dog! I can't bear you anymore; you loving many women at once, I can forgive you temporarily, but your exploitation of me, I truly despise you for that, Snow Sky-Dog! You are a talented, handsome man who exploits a weak woman like me. Aren't you ashamed? Your master promised to organize a grand wedding for you and Mizuchi Haruka, so why can you calmly deceive me with sweet words like honey that you speak without regard for the dignity of such a man? Both Mizuchi Haruka and I are your victims, Snow Sky-Dog! Snow Sky-Dog, today I tell you clearly, I no longer love you! Snow Sky-Dog, the one I once considered my entire world, and also the one who deceitfully toyed with my pure feelings, from now on we part ways here! I don't love you anymore, from now on, do not bother me anymore!"

Seraphina Frostwind's words crashed like a tumultuous wave, ravaging Snow Sky-Dog's heart and tormenting his mind. He felt as if he were drowning in a sea of flames, all his emotions swept away, leaving only confusion and turmoil. His gaze dulled, like a dim light extinguished by a cold gust of wind.

"Seraphina, you... you can't mean that" Snow Sky-Dog exclaimed, his voice choked with tumultuous emotions, and his heart shattered. "I... I don't understand, why... why would you say such things?"

Seraphina Frostwind avoided his gaze, stepping back. The air seemed to grow still, with only the sound of Snow Sky-Dog's heavy and erratic breathing echoing in the darkness of the night. She looked up at the sky, the moon shining brightly like a spotlight on the somber canvas of life.

"It's over between us, Snow Sky-Dog," Seraphina Frostwind spoke, her voice icy and cold. "Our love, it's dead! I cannot continue living in a relationship filled with deceit and exploitation."

Seraphina Frostwind's words hit Snow Sky-Dog's heart like iron arrows piercing through it. He remembered the promises, the declarations of love he had made to Seraphina. But now, it was all just a nightmare he couldn't wake up from.

"Seraphina, please forgive me," Snow Sky-Dog pleaded, but in his plea, he knew there was no hope left.

Seraphina Frostwind just shook her head coldly, but inside her, a sense of emptiness spread. Her life began a new chapter, one without Snow Sky-Dog, one without the shadow of faded love.

Under the elegant moonlight, Seraphina Frostwind walked away from Snow Sky-Dog, stepping into the darkness of the night, stepping into a new life without him, without the traces of the love that had faded. In her heart, there was a sense of emptiness, but also a sense of liberation from the shackles of a murky relationship.

Snow Sky-Dog stood there, alone under the moonlight, his heart shattered in disappointment and pain. He remembered the promises, the declarations of love that once filled his mind, but now, they were just bright memories in the night.

Yet, amidst the confusion, amidst the abyss of despair, Snow Sky-Dog felt a glimmer of hope, like a small light in the darkness. He couldn't foresee the challenges and dangers that life had in store for him, but in his heart, there was still faith, a desire to rise above the pain.

Life doesn't stop after failures, and Snow Sky-Dog knew he would continue to walk, he would continue to rise from the agony, to seek new light, to find himself again in the darkness of the past. And perhaps, on that path, he would find new meaning, new love, and a new version of himself.

With firm steps, Snow Sky-Dog left this place, stepping into new challenges, to explore a new life, a future not defined by the painful past, but by courageous steps and unwavering faith. And under the sparkling moonlight, the new journey of Snow Sky-Dog began, with hope and undying determination.
