"Think dying is that easy?"
As the playing card in front of him dropped, the blond middle-aged man, pierced through his heart, looked in astonishment toward Shard standing in front of him. The man's Ring of Fate behind him dissipated, but before he could take his final breath, Shard's hand reached out:

He turned around, picked up a cup of water from the table, and lightly touched it, the Spiritual Light shimmering on the surface of the water. Shard splashed the hot tea on the man's wound to prevent him from bleeding out too much, exhausting the state of "False Immortality":
"I ask, you answer."
