Chapter 1378
“What is she doing?” Terra jumped in front of me, trying to create a barrier to impede the souls.
It only succeeded in stopping the undead. The souls walked through it, and unimpeded by their enemies, started to surround us. While this was happening, the wraiths began to move around Sapphire too. However, she didn’t protect herself, and her undead army remained where they were, trying to defend the pair of us. Just as they reach her, a wave of light erupted out from Sapphire’s hands.
The wraiths weren’t pushed away by the light. Instead, they seemed to stop, as if something else had caught their interest. They turned away from Sapphire and began walking away. The ones that were in front of us did the same. They just stopped, stared for a few seconds, and then seemed to lose interest in us.
All of the fightings had stopped in an instant, and the undead was no longer trying to attack the wraiths any more than the wraiths were trying to attack the undead. Instead, they seemed to stand as if in a trance. Terra and I watched dumbfounded as one of the souls walked directly into a corpse. The two of them merged like one. Their features began to change, the undead person appearing both more alive and more ghostly, like a blue phantasm superimposed over the form of what a person should be.
More and more spirits found a body, slipping inside of it. Even those bodies that had been destroyed still had a spirit slip inside their nonmoving form. The bodies seemed to repair themselves as if unifying them made them stronger. I tried to understand what I was seeing, and it finally clicked. These were the undead, and they were fighting their spirits. Sapphire had used a powerful spell and merged the pair, combining body and spirit.
As the last spirit entered the body, Sapphire looked up at me and gave a smile. “Bring them ba—aggghhhh!” A sharp blade jutted through her chest, coming out of her front.
The blade was completely black, and from the site of Sapphire’s wound, blackness began to spread out like it was contaminating her whole body.
“Sapphire!” I shouted, as her body was lifted by the blade.
That’s when I was able to see who was on the other side. It was the face of Twilight. Her body was shrouded in complete darkness. Only her face was visible.
“You have defied me enough.” She snarled. “I feared that if I absorbed this thing, it’d merge with her and she’d free herself. If I knew it was so dangerous, I would have destroyed it ages ago. To think she could pull away what is mine and sequester them in their original bodies. Such a nasty skill!”
“Let her go!” I shouted.

She let out a laugh. “I am unity, only I can unify all being! Only I can be the world! You will bow before me, and you will unify with me!”
I looked helplessly at Sapphire’s face, but there was no pain or fear. She merely gave me another innocent smile.
Her lips moved, simply saying two words. “Do it.”
“What… did you say?” I asked Twilight, my body shaking with fury. “Did you just say the souls and bodies are together?”
“These souls have defied my unity for too long.” She made a face. “Since they have decided to be disobedient, I’ll have to force them, once I wrench them from these useless corpses.”
I smiled. “Hey, Twilight. Do you want to see true unity?”
She frowned. “What?”fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
“Unify this.” I lifted my hand. “Mass Resurrection!”
