Chapter 175: The Soul Project

Ever since Tilly learned about "the Door," she became convinced that Elias had left this world.

Over the years, she traveled the entire world, from the northern continents to the southern, from icy tundras to scorching deserts, from towering mountains to scattered islands... 

Her journey even took her to the perilous Storm Sea, an area notoriously labeled as the "Sea of Death."

Yet, no matter her efforts, she couldn't find a single clue. Elias seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Such a disappearance was impossible, especially under the intricate intelligence network of Magic Hermitage, where locating a person was typically an effortless task...

Unless he was dead, as the dead cannot be found.

But that was improbable, not because she couldn't accept Elias's death, but...

On that last day, in that final moment, she witnessed him slowly fading away right before her eyes.
