Its hatred towards humankind does not stem from the instincts of the undead, nor from depravity's distortion. Although the Hero cannot determine the reason, it is clearly inconsistent with the history that the Sergeant told her.
She certainly doesn't believe the Sergeant deceived her, but back then their exploration of the Ancient Royal City was merely a cursory one. The ancient history has been passed down to the present, and it's hard to say how much matches the truth.
Perhaps the enemy of one's enemy is a friend. With such a simple thought, the Hero seeks to continue questioning the undead who once opposed the Angel King.
"What does betrayal mean? Can you tell me about it—"
[The Hero touches the truth of history]
[Malicious behavior detected, skill: Doctrine of Reason activated (200-Only View)]
However, before the Hero could finish speaking, her words abruptly stopped.
The mind seemingly bloomed with dazzling light, the eyes turned snow-white, everything drowned in the light, only seeing the giant four wings slowly unfolding.
'It ends here, girl.'
The gentle voice like a morning bell dispersed all the Hero's thoughts.

Along with the gentle admonition from the Four-winged King, a scorching heat suddenly rose behind the Hero.
'Some things aren't for children to know, sleep obediently now, it's time to rest.'
Without even a chance to rebut, before the Hero could speak, a tsunami of spiritual power completely engulfed her consciousness.
In reality, the Hero suddenly rolled her eyes back, the azure in her pupils dispersed, her feet softened, about to fall.
But before she fell, the Ice Sealed Oath's tenacity automatically unfolded, the spark on the cloth armor quietly extinguished, a warmth unlike the scorching heat from her back, slightly restored the Hero's consciousness.
The Hero instinctively supported herself on the ground, her emerald green pupils scattered, gasping for breath like a suffocating fish, cold sweat dripping like raindrops onto the ground.
'That fellow is of a completely different stature than us,'
'There likely isn't even the most basic element for dialogue between you two—equality.'
The brother's words flashed through her mind, making the Hero's complexion even paler.
'Hey, there's no time for you to reflect now.'
But before the Hero could calm the waves in her heart, her other self's voice coldly spoke.
'The magic power within your body is forcibly influenced, that birdman doesn't intend to let you go so easily.'
On the sweat-drenched girl's body, a strange fragrance began to emerge.
And the Angel's Corpse, which should not have a sense of smell, looked down at the girl suddenly kneeling, as the soul fire in its eye sockets swayed violently.

[Angel's Corpse's Resistance]
Malice flows again into the Hero's heart, but it is no longer a hatred with clear intent, but filled with a murky desire.
Desire for her flesh, desire for her blood, desire for her scream and wail—
Devoured by undead instinct, the Angel's Corpse's bone wings wide open, absorbing the Magic Element in the air, emitting a sharp screech in the vortex of Magic Power.

♛: Listen to the gospel.
On a silent street surrounded by a Barrier, the wide bone wings of the remains vibrated Magic Power, emitting a sound that directly pierced the Spirit.
The sound wave stirred the Magic Element in the atmosphere, dense Negative Energy solidified into substance, about to transform into a pitch-black prison.
The Hero wanted to escape, but her head felt dizzy, the view before her blurred by afterimages, her body felt as heavy as though filled with lead.
The Magic Power once at her command, unobstructed within her body, now felt like solidified viscous liquid, even moving forward became difficult.
Coupled with the malicious chant by the Angel's Corpse like something sharp scraping a board, the Hero only felt her head swelling, like a balloon about to burst.

Amid her struggle to stand, the Angel's Corpse's chant was already complete, the decayed prison rose from the ground, imprisoning her within.
The ground turned swampy, the air became rotten, it's a place where one's mind and flesh could melt together in death.
The Hero barely raised her head, gritting her teeth, already prepared to be harmed.
But as the prison was about to take shape, suddenly in her mind——
